ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S OLD CUTTER TO BE AUCTIONED
 OFF AS A WAR BRIDE
Special to Gateway by United Press

Special to Gateway by United Pressl
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 27,-' After bucldng the ice in most of the seven seas for thirty-fve years, the Coast Guard Cutter Thetis is cruising into this port to go into the govern mental discard today by public auc- tion.
 The European war saved the Thetis from the scrap heap. Steamship men all over the United States await her arrival here. They are to bid for her when the government auctiOneer an nounces:
 cone steamship, gentlemen"
 During her service the Thetis has not been liner and a lady. She started out as a Dundee whaler, work that requires mainly what sailors call "guts."
 The Thetis entered the navy in 1883, when, commanded by then Capt W. S. Schley, she went with two other ships, to rescue Lieut.. A. W. Greeley, afterwards Major General Greeley, from the Arctic ice. She served as a navy survey ship on one trip carrying a load of reindeer from Siberia to AL aska. The fact that she was con demned by the Navy a dozen years ago did not interfere with her eff ciency.
 Coast Guard men say they would have been lucky two years ago to get s8,OOO for her. Now, they say, they expect her to bring $SOOOO. She is expected to pay for herself on her first trip.

NEWS NOTES

Suggestions have already been made that preparations for a Fourth of July celebration are in order. It has been hinted that Anchorage owes Seward a return game of baseball, for instance.
 Fred Laubner returned on the Ala meda after an absence of several months. He denies emphatically the rumor that he has been married and says it was an exaggeration.
 JJ. Finnegau has decided to take another business trip to Valdez.
 Lieutenant MehaTey of the Road Commission arrived on the Alameda. He says he cannot tell yet what the result of the request for more money will be. During his recent tour of Alaska with Anton Eide he rather en- joyed himself, he says, and he is in perfect trim after it.
 The new playground was a most lively scene during the noon hour to- day when about a score of young hopefuls busted themselves clearing the place up.
 Manager William Ellis ot Frye Bruhn also is G3uating towards thc refreshments on the playground this evening.

CAST OF "ROMEO AND JULIET"
A ROSTER OF NOTABLE
NAMES.

Marie Booth, who is also seen in
an important role, is the niece of the
famous Edwin Booth. Her uncle
united with John Mccullough, the
noted tragedian, in two acts Of
"Othello" on the occasion of her de-
but. She has since played every lead
ing feminine part in Shakespeare's
plays, with the exception of Lady
Macbeth. The role of "Juliet" has
always been her favorite, and she
has appeared in that part all over
the country.
Emma Kemble, a direct descend
ant of the famous Kemble family Of
England, who has appeared in many
notable Shakespearian productions,
also has a prominent role in Romeo
and Juliet" Blanche Davenport, Of
the great Davenport family, is an
other valuable member of the cast.
John B. Hollis, who has an impor-
tant role, is q member Of the Beres-
ford family Of England, and Venie

and romantic roles.

ing. Both have played many classical
and romantic roles.
Robert Cummings is the Friar
Laurence Of the production. Mr..
Cummings. is well known both on the
speaking stage and on the screen.
He has appeared in more original
productions and created more parts
than any other actor on Broadway.
He has had prominent roles in such
plays as "Cameo Kirby" ''The Blue
Bird" "The Great Divide" "Stop
Thief" and "The Awakening of
Helena Richie" He has also played
important stock engagements in
Shakespearian productions. Mr..
Cummings has been associated with
Mr.. Bushman and Miss Bayne in
most of the photoplays they have
made on the Metro program.
Alexandra J. Herbert, young
English actor, has the important
role of Friar John. He has ap-
peared all over the world, and since
coming to this country has been with

Anterior, who plays a court lady,
belongs to the gifted Anterior fam
lily, which is equally well known in
England and America.
Another important name in the
cast is Violet Hall Game, who is one
of the Capulet family, and is a niece
of the well-known novelist and play
wright, Hall Game. The Bishop of
Verona is played by William H. Bur
ton, who was a member Of Ford's
company in Washington in the early
days. Mr.. Burton played in Paris in
"Romeo and Juliet" with Adelaide
Nelson, thought by many to be the
greatest Juliet that ever lived. He
was the Capulet in Mary Anderson's
first production of the play. He
played Horatio to Edwin Booths
Hamlet" and the apothecary to
John Wilkes Booths Romeo.
The fencing Of Olaf Skavlan as
Benvolio and Fritz Leiber as Mer-
cutie is one Of the interesting fea-
lures Of the production. Both have
been trained in Robert Mantell's
company, and are as familiar with
stage dueling as with the art Of act

Infanticide Is Direct
Murder Says DR.. Smucker

"Infanticide is direct murder" de-
clared the Rev. DR.. Clayton Albert
Smucker, pastor of the Stevens Mem
orial Methodist Church, in a sermon
last night on Murder, The Sin Trag-
edy of America" DR.. Smucker in
scathing terms denounced infanticide
and called it a popular crime in AM
erica. He declared that millions of
murderesses will have to answer for
their sins who are not even frowned
upon by society. The minister also
stated that there were $3.50 murders
in 1915, or nearly 100 per million
population. In speaking of crime, DR..
Smucker pointed out that 800, 900 men
are imprisoned to-day because of
crimes they committed, and that the
cost of preventing crime and main
tanning order is S200,000,000 a year.

CHAPTER TX.
Copyright, 1915, Star Company.
nH1LIP HALE paused in the door
way. irresoluta, a little puzzled
frown drawing his dark brows
together Then. as Agnes arose to
greet him, he came forward.
Good EVENING"" he said, boyishly:
II hope I'm not butting in? pc
He took the girls outstretched
hand and held it until she drew it
away, and turned to Introduce him to
Randolph Pickens.
PLEASED to make your acquaint-
ance," that gentleman murmured,
Neither man offered to shake hands,
and for an instant they glared at each
other. They suggested irresistibly to
the mind of the girl the attitude of
two strange dogs, each resenting the
others appearance.
IT suppose you are one of Miss
Morley's classmates at school?" Philip
said carelessly, as he took a chair.
mo, 1 am not" Mr.. Pickens an
swered shortly.
HE was my teacher" Agnes ex-
planned, while I was at school"
while you were at school?" Phil
lip repeated. Aren't you there
mo, the other man interposed
triumphantly Miss Morley has ac-
cepted a position"
''I will tell you about it some
other time, PHIL the girl broke in
before Mr.. Pickens could go farther
tion-a very good one-and I want to
talk to you about it sometime"
so have Il" the boy laughed.
We'll have an experience meeting.
when do you begin?"
''I started in to-day" she replied.
TO,,A i ar
want TO talk about 1t now"
THREE Is A CROWD
For half-hour the three chatted
together. That is, Philip and Agnes
talked, while Mr.. Pickens. who had
sunk back in his chair, gazed gloom
lily at the gaslight and responded only
to questions aimed directly at him.
Several times he cast longing
glances at the table on the other side
of the room where reposed his dearly
bought Panama,-the Panama-the
Panama he had purchased to make
brave his appearance for this call.
Too shy to join in the conversation,
too bored to care to remain longer,
he yearned to take up his hat and
make his departure.
One thing interfered with his doing
this. 1t was a recollection that he
was a Southerner in a land of North
ern barbarians. Upon his narrow
shoulders he felt rested the respons-
ibility of upholding the gallantry of
the Southland.
Therefore he was determined to
remain until the man in whom he
recognized a rival should depart. So
he stayed, shrinking into his chair,
jaws aching and pale eyes watering
from suppressed yawns-a martyr to
Southern chivalry.
Could he have read the minds of
his two companions he would doubt
less have fled precipitately. Both
Philip and Agnes had much to tell
