EMPIRE

Lenore U1rfch. whose Hawaiian princess in esThe Bird of Paradise'' was a countrywide sensation, is to be seen as the star of a specially elabo- rate production, s.Ki1meny,'' which the Oliver Morosco Photop1ay Com pany presents at the Empire theatre today and tomorrow.
 Interesting in connection with the many noted names included in the support of Lenore UIrich is a story about Miss Victory Bateman who gives singuIar1y powerful charac- terization of gypsy seeress. Miss Bateman was leading woman for Ed win Booth and the cider Salvfni in fields selection for Roxane in his fa,- nous eCyrano,' and for years has been counted one of the finest Amerf- can actresses One of her famous roles is ttCarmen" in the dramatiza- ton of Bizet's famous opera, but de- spite the hundreds of times she played the part of the cigarette girl who faithfully smokes her own wares Miss Batenan never actually drew smoke Into her mouth until the gypsy part in 'sKiImeny. In previous years she had got around it neatly by having her various leading men keep her cigarette going for her until just time for going on the stage. Then she would flourish the snnoldering cigar cite assthough she has just smoked it, and would so time the Inevitable <ssnext puff that she could always just prevent 1t by a speech. Close as the cigarette came to her lips so many hundreds Of times she had to actually follow Sir Walter Ralelghss example.

SHIPPERS DEAFNESS PROFITABLE; HE PAYS
 NO SEIZURE CHARGES

London, July 30.-While the prize court has dealt with the cases of many American ships which have been seized by the British navy, a large number still are detained in British ports. Many annoyances, and much expense have resulted to the owners of the ships from the crown procedure incidental to their deten- tion. The port authorities have de- handed considerable sums for pilot fees, and in one case thousand doI- lars for dock fees.
 The American skipper would pro- test that he should not pay for a pilot he had not wanted, who had detained him and brought him into port against the slippers protests; that he should not pay for keeping his ship at the dock when he was not Keeping her there and did not want to stay there. But the answer is invariabIe that pilot fees and dock ing fees must be paid or serious for feitures result, and rather than incur more serious obligations, these pilot. dock and other charges are paid, al- though they are for detention which the sship. has not sought
 About the only American skipper who has escaped these charges is one who had the good fortune to be deaf When the port officials threatened him with dire consequences if he did pay for the pilot who detained him and brought him into port, he shook his head and did not hear. It was the same with the dock fees-he did not hear them. And this skipper,
 master of the Neches, 5000 tons, from New York. after more such expert ences than any other American sailor, including the sinking of a barge in the Thames for which he was hbeIed for 10000. pounds, is now sailing the sea with free ship due to his good fortune in being deaf to all exac- tfons.

INCONSISTENCIES WILL
 MEET WITH SECRETARY
Meeting has Been Arranged for Wed nesday in Phoenix With Sec
 retary of Interior

Arrangements have been made for a meeting of the hOmesteaders with in the reclamation project to meet with Secretary of the Interior Frank lin K. Lane upon his arrival in Phoe- nix tomorrow. There are two propo- sitions the holders of government land wish to put up to the Sec retaiy. The first and most i'm portant is relative to the farm unit. It is the firm belief of the men who have proved up on a qntrter section of land within the reciama- ton zone that if the real facts were understood by the secretary that the farm unit would be fixed at eighty acres instead of the forty acre tract l which is supposed to prevail at the i present time. Very few of the home steaders within the project have dis rosed of portions of their holdings However, in the sale of their lands which they have been advised they must make. they find themselves confronted with the sale of real ns- tate to which they do not have deed nor title-only the final receipt is- sued by the government showing thai they have submitted proof of their title to the land. They will ask that patents be issued in cases where inc final receipt has been issued, The present status of the case is that 1 the lands under the project which 1 have been acquired by homestead entry since 1902 are held without patent, having been issued. The owners, or in other words the en- tryman holding final receipts are taxed for the land yet at the same tune they can neither mortgage. sell nor In the event that can sell, give a deed. The secretary will be asked either to provide them with eieai
 title to'their lands SO that they can sell or refrain from compelling then
 10 dispose of their holdings.
