Warden Mclean, Killed in Fall
From Horse, Mistaken for Brother.

NEW YORK. July 3-Warden Mclean,
who died as result of a fall from
his horse in Chattanooga last Friday,
was not the Princeton foot ball tackle
who earned a place on the worlds an
eastern team last fall.
Warden Mclean did play foot ball at
Princeton four or five years ago. He
was guard. but did not have first call
in the big games.
He was a brother of William Nc
Lean, who was the Princeton tackle
last fall and who enlisted when the call
came and is now at the training camp
at Fort Niagara.
The mistake came through an error
in the report of Il press association
and because the initials were the same.

Belasco.

Whether Samuel Shipman intended
his new play, 1.-THE Man Pays" which
was given its premier performance at
the Belasco Theater last night, to be
frage Is as doubtful as the outcome OF
the plot, which compels interest to the
last word and gesture. 1t was made
reasonably clear, however, that the
title applies only to a specific story.
and that it holds no brief for the pro-
posed franchise amendment to the Con-
stitution. The play presents the case
of a woman who. deserted by her hus-
ability and re-establishes firm which
he had wrecked. Just as the argument
that woman Is mans equal in business
reaches its height and scarcely before
the applause from the more enthu-
siastic suffrage members Of the audi
ence had subsidized. the husband re-
turns and coolly takes possession Of
the flourishing concern. His wife then
makes the discovery that she had over
looked one important point, and that
the business her own. She finds her
self in the position Of having only look
ed after her husbands interest. when
she had thought she was the sole

complete confession to the wife and
aids her in obtaining a settlement
which restores a half interest in the
business and paves the way for a long

provoking situations In the play. and
why it is called comedy drama is
not easy to understand. But there is
no dearth of sentimental appeal, and
uncertainty as to whether the wife
would forgive her husband or divorce
