The Majestic has booked the seven
reel Selig Red Seal play, The Ro-
sary," for Tuesday. This production
is adapted from the we'll known play
by Edward Z. Rose and tells the story
of the many events which crowd
the life of Father Kelly. In his
early years his struggle between the
love of a girl and the call of the
church is shown, while late in life he
becomes the pivot around which a do.
nestle tragedy reyolyes. His ward,
a young broker, unjustly suspects his
wife of being false to him and Father
Kelly, who is visiting them when
they quarrel, is at last instrumental
in uniting them and again bringing
happiness into both their lives.

TRIAL TO DETERMINE
OWNERSHIP or APPAM

Norfolk, Va, May 13.-When the
proceedings to determine possession
OF the captured British liner Appam
brought as a German prize to this
port were begun in federal court here
Friday, Judge Wadill, over the protest
of counsel for the German embassy,
made public for the first time the state
departments communication on March
>, 10 Count Won Bernstorff,
1t disc,oses that the department ex-
pressed the view that the Appam did
not fall within the protecting clauses
OF the Prussian-American treaty.
Position is Factor.
William Dinnits, chief officer OF the
Appam gave her position when cap
tured as 100 miles from the position
designated by Lieutenant Berg, her
captor. The effort is to show that this
was 1880 miles from Emden and 1901
from Norfolk and that Emden was
the place to take the prize.
The German government claims pos
session of the Appam under the treaty
OF 1893, which provides the vessels Of
war, public and private, of both Ger
many and the United States shall
have free entry and departure with
their prizes from ports Of both coun-
tries.
Ship Unaccompa
The contest arises over the fact
that the Appam came into Hampton
Roads unaccompanied. The treaty
deals only with those brought by war
ships. The Appam, however had a
German prize crew aboard and these
complications are to be decided by
the courts. Ultimately the case prob
ably will end in the supreme court.
The British owners of the Appam
seek to recover her by libel proceed
ings.

tor, man named LangdGn, was taken violently III an hour before the per- formance. His understudy had been allowed leave of absence over Sun day, and had just left town. How could the play go on? The man in the box office, who knew Jimmy and had had many chat with him about his stunt of learning the different parts, laid seemingly absurd proposition before the manager and was criticized for his pains.
 Twenty minutes later, however, the manager, In desperation, reconsidered and sent for Jimmy. For a half hour he heard him say the lines, and then asked him If he was afraid his nerve would give out. Jimmy, inwardly quaking, said mo" Then he was hur- ried to a dressing room. The clothes fitted. and someone came and made him up."
 The audience began to assemble. Among them was a girl who scanned the face of each usher, evidently look ing for one she knew.
 At last the bell sounded, the lights slowly grew dim, and the audience set tied itself for the first act, little know ing that behind the scenes young amateur actor was waiting for his cue with shaking knees and fast-beating heart. The most thrilling moment of Jimmy's life was at hand, and he felt he could not go through with it. Stage fright had seized him. his courage ebbed away, and he leaned against the scenery for support. The manager, close at hand alternately swore and encouraged. The success of his eve ming was at stake.
 The cue came. Jimmy, more dead than alive, stepped out on to the stage. And, behold With the first word of his part, all embarrassment departed and confidence returned.
 The curtain fell on the last act. In the dressing room the manager grasped Jimmy's hand. Be in the off, flee on Monday morning at ten o'clock, and we'll talk things over. You're to have the part till LangdOn gets well, and by that time there'l be something else" he said.
 Too happy and excited to know he was tired, Jimmy washed the grease paint off and put on his own clothes as in a dream. As he passed out the stage door, the pretty girl who had so eagerly watched for someone in the theater seized his arm. Jimmy Jim- my! I was there all the time Didn't you remember I was coming? 1 looked for you and looked and then when you

came on Inc stage-Oh, Jimmy, it was great!"
 It was great, although 1t did not lead to college. The money earned that season made it possible to begin the kind of study that would develop the abilities of a growing young actor. Up hill work it was sometimes, but all ways steady. And when, after several years of hard work, the night came @n which Jimmy saw his name emblaz- oned in lights above the door of the Star theater, his thoughts went back to that night in his past when. "pre- paredness" had enabled him to seize the opportunity knocking at his door. And the pretty girl who had waited for him at the stage door that event ful night now sat, proud and happy, in the managers box and applauded her actor husband as he achieved his stardom. She, too, believes in pre- paredneSS.

JIMMY'S PREPAREDNESS
By FANNY GRAY.

Jimmy Benton was usher in the Star theater. He had been part way through college, and had had to stop because of the necessity to earn more money. The first job he took had been that of elevator boy in a summer ho- tel, but when the summer came to an end, he found he must try to get some- thing which would give him few hours off each day for study. A play wright, who had been staying at the hotel and had become interested in the ambitious young man had spoken a word for him in the Star theater, and he had made good in his position, so that after two months he had been promoted to be head usher. Thus he could study part of the time, and so hasten the day for taking up college work again.
 There was more than one reason for his application to work and his desire to make something worth while of himself. Louise Drake, an attractive and desirable young girl, was watch ing his fight, and he looked forward to the day when he might ask her to marry him.
 For a while the work of usher was interesting, and listening to the plays was good fun. But when decided success settled down for an indefinite run, this became monotonouS. Having an always active brain, Jimmy cast about for some way to pass the time.
 One day he discovered that he had heard the stars lines so often that he could anticipate almost every speech. This gave him thought of something further to do. He would memorize the part.
 It was not very difficult, and, having accomplished it, he turned his atten- ton to the part that interested him most next to that of the star. It was that of a young man who figured rath- CT prominently in the play, and was more or less Jimmy's ideal of young manhood. He became so absorbed ill it that he frequently found himself standing before his glass, making the gestures to fit the lines as he had seen the actor do. At the end of the third week, 1t seemed to him he must know the play by heart.

Washington, February 24-Presi-
dent Wilson, at the end of two days Of
agitation in Congress for action warn

1--WE have not reason to question
the central powers good faith or their
fidelity to their promises in the past, "
he added, "and l for one, feel conf
dent that we shall have none in the
future"
The letter was in answer to one
written late this afternoon by Senator
Stone outlining the situation at the
capital where since yesterday morning
persistent demands had been made for
some action which might lessen the
possibility of war between the United
States and Germany. The Presidents
statement will be repeated tomorrow
morning to Speaker Clark, Represen-
tative Kitchin, majority leader, and
Representative Flood, chairman Of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee, who
late today asked for an engagement to
explain the position in which the house
found itself and ask the President for
statement of the administration
views.

Burt is competent to deliver smooth

the Wilson administration of national
affairs could naturally be expected, for
didn't the president sign his commits

latter part of his speech was devoted
to lambasting Gov. Philipp's admins

charges, too, were fully answered by
