VIM. Faversham, in 'sThe Hawk"
Flaming with big passions, Mr..
William Faversham's new play, e"The
Hawk" holds its audience in a thrill
ing grip from beginning to end. It's
big, vital question lies in the conduct
Of a man toward his wife when he
finds she is in love with some one
else. What shall he do? The de-
velopment Of the play Is a startling
study in human emotions.
Mr.. Faversham makes the most Of
his big part and he does magnificent
acting throughout the play and in
this is supported by his entire COM
pany.
"The Hawk" is a play which viii
attract and entertain every class Of
playgoers. It is not bread and butter
drama but strong meat which makes
folk think and act. Mr.. Faversham
will come to the opera house for one
night only Saturday, Jan. %

s1Graft" To-day.

Wallace Irwin who has suggested
the fifth episode of Graft" which APP
pears at the Isis today, was one of the
first men ever to have a poem run
serially in magazine. His Teddy
see," which appeared in the Saturday
Evening Post, was delightfully."- hum
orous satire ON Theodore Roosevelt
and our national politics. 1t made
such tremendous hit that a sequel
to it was run year later.
''Ths Power of the People" the fifth
episode of the "Graft" series, is by
all means not the last work that Mr..
Irwin viii do for the Universal. Two

powerful and emotional drama of
Broadway and the New York politics

for production.
Three other reels help to make the
bill at the Isis today a very commend

Scheele Laboratory May
Prove Clue to Munitions

SMOKELESS POWDER AND
DANGEROUS ACIDS FOUND
Government Agents Find Oil Was
Mixed With Fertilizer for Snug
Cling Into Germany.

Special TO The Washington Herald
New York, April lL-Clews furnished by
a search Of DR.. Walter L. Scheele's lab
oratory in Hoboken, where FIRE bombs for
the damaging of merchantmen are said
to have been assembled. led the Fed
eral and the local police authorities to
believe that out of the arrest OF eight
Germans IN the fire bomb case may come
still more startling revelations concern
ing destructive work in munitlon and
powder factories in this country, COM
monty ascribed to German secret agents.
Neither the Department Of Justice nor
Capt. Tunney, of the bomb squad, whose
remarkably persistent detective work
caused the arrests in the ship fire mys-
teries, would make any additional charge
today against DR.. Scheele who has van
ished, nor would any one admit the de-
tails of the confessions made by five of
the eight men under arrest, or tell of
the vast amount of evidence dug up on
the Friedrich der Crosse, in DR..
Scheele's laboratory, and in the homes
Of the other men placed under arrest.
1t was learned, however, that the po-
lice forces of New York and Hoboken had
found a great amount of startling mate
rial in DR.. Scheele's laboratory. DR..
scheele's professed work in the laboratory
was the making of fertilizer. Since the
arrest Of his assistants, it has been
learned, first, that he used the laboratory
to mix oil with fertilizer as means of
smuggling it into Germany. and secondly.
to assemble fire bombs to be placed, It
Is charged, on ships through the aid OF
Capt Otto wolpert and Capt. Emo Bode,
both connected with the Hamburg-Amer-
lean Steamship Company.
The materials found by the detectives
today suggested that DR.. Scheele's ac-
tivities were even more extensive and
mysterious. In the first place, a large
amount of smokeless powder was found
stored away in the laboratory, presum-
ably owned by the New Jersey Agricul-
tural and Chemical Company. Also there
were many different sorts OF acids and
components OF explosives other than the
muriatic and sulphurIc acids said to have
been used in the manufacture Of the LIQUID
fire bombs.
