DRAMA BORN IN VIRGINIA
First Play Was Acted in 17ls at the
Governors Home In Will
iamsburR.

1t was in Williamsburg, then the
capital Of Virginia, that there occurred
in 1918 the first known representation
in North America of what the purists
of our time characterize as "the acted
drama Reference to this perform
ance may be found in letter OF Gov
ernor Spottiswood, dated June "a,
1918, it being therein made clear that
certain members of the house of as
sembly had sighted an invitation
given them by the governor for an
entertainment at his house.
These gentlemen, he writes, had
denied him "the common compliment
of a visit when, in order to solemnize
his majesty's birthday, | gave a pub

gentlemen that would come were ad-

my house nor go to the play which
was acted on the occasion" They
preferred, instead, it would seem, to
have party of their own in the house
of burgesses and invite everybody who
would come there to drink to the
kings health.
What the play here referred to was
or when it was performed, we do not

VILLA WILL DINE
IN CHIHUAHUA CITY
Bandit Chief Boasts He Will
Have Carnival Feast in
That Place Sept. 16.
LOOKS THIN AND YELLOW

FL Paso, Tex, Sept. 9'--Thirty
Mexicans. supposed to be Villa fol-
lowers made a raid on the engineer
camp of the American punitive ex-
peditionary force arriving here today
from Mexico by way of Columbus,
N. NJ. This incursion which took
place last Wednesday on an isolated
portion of the camp at Ojo Federico
is believed by the military authorities
here to have ben indirectly RESPONSE
bic for today's rumor OF the clash be-
tween the Fifth cavalry and Sixteenth
infantry of regulars and band of
Villa followers south of FL Pale,
Chihuahua. Otherwise, the story OF
that fight must be called pure hoax,
the officers say.
Villa In Canyon.
Information received at the military
headquarters in Ell Paso confirms the
presence of Villa in the Santa Clara
canyon.
Villa on his northward march, told
the natives that he intended to eat
dinner at Parral, on the Mexican inde-
pendence day, September 10, but he
later said he would take part in the
celebration at Chihuahua City on the
eve of the 10th, which is carnival
night in Mexico, Such at least is the
story brought here today out OF
Mexico by man well acquainted
with the people, He also said he
talked to Mexican who recently in
terviewed Villa in an effort to secure
the relase of some cammandeered
mules. The Mexican said the bandit
chief looked very thin and yellow and
still used crutches when walking,
although able to ride horse.
No Movement Ordered.

pedition, Mexico, Sept. 9--Border
reports concerning Villas moves
through the Santa Clara canyon
toward Laguna have not been con-
firmed by investigation in that dis
trict General ]. ]. Pershing an

The men in Mexico are in the pink
of condition and their equipment,

munication leave nothing to be de-
sired.
Asked concerning rumors of ex-
peditionary troop movement, General
Pcrshing asserted that none had been
ordered and none was in contempla-
ton.

New York. Sept e.-Today's broad and

offset by strength In other important stocks.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Bearish View Taken Of Government Crop
Report Weakens Wheat Values.

Chicago, Sept. e.-Wheat showed some
weakness today, largely because Of bear
ish construction which many traders placed
on the government crop report. 1t was con-
tended that the government figures did not
fully confirm extreme low estimates Of
some of the leading crop specialists I'm
certainty over Balkan war developments
tended also to handicap the bulls Opening
prices which ranged from 1Mc lower to
&c advance, were followed by additional
losses and then a fair rally.
5 Realizing sales to make trades even for
the week end led afterward to further de-
clines. The close was unsettled at 2Sc to
aAc net lower, with December at s1.53M
and May at si.54h.
Free offerings by holders weakened the
corn market. The main incentive to sell
was the fact that predictions had been ex-
cessively bullish as to the government crop
estimate. After opening b@1%c lower.
prices underwent further sag.
No important rallies took place. The close
was nervous at INC to &c net decline.
In oats as in corn the Washington crop
report had bearish Influence. On the dip,
however, leading houses were good buyers
Provisions averaged lower on account of
lack Of support. Hogs promised to be a
little more plentiful next week than at the
corresponding time last year.

CHARLES SUCCEEDS

VIENNA, Nov 23.-The death of the Emperor Franz Joseph, though not entirely unexpected, was, never theless, shocking in it's suddenness. The Emperor had been resting quiet ly, and the report of the physicians had not been alarming. His daughter Valerie was with him at o'clock and iemained by his bedside with the other attendants. About o'clock the aged ruler pointed to his throat, and then lapsed into a coma from which he never aroused, and death came within short time.
 The succession to the throne passt S to the Archduke Charles, who was born in 1887, and is therefore, 29 years of age. He married in 1911 the Princess Zita of Parma.
