Actors Reinstatement and
Predicted Reelection as
Abbot Close War Result

]. J. Gleason to Retire
Action Expected to Better
Relations Between the
Players and Managers

George M. Cohan again is to take
his place as head of the Friars. The
Official announcement of his return to
the fold was made last night by the
board of. governors of the Friars or
ganization. Il marks the close of one
# the bitterest personal feuds result
ing from the strike of the Actors
Equity Association more than a year
ago.
1t was announced that Mr.. Cohan's
application for reinstatement as a
member of the Friars was acted upon
favorably by the board of governors
yesterday.
Simultaneously it was said that
John j. Gleason, who was chosen abbot
of the Friars to succeed Cohan, when
the latter stepped down year ago.
had signifed his eagerness to retire
from the governing chair, and that the
board, next Wednesday, would accept
Gleason's resignation and imme ediately
thereafter reelect Cohan to his old
post.
Broadway Circles Rejoice
Yesterdays vote on Cohan's applica-
tlon was unanimous in favor of rein
statement, and the announcement
caused great rejoicing in Broadway
circles. 1t was regarded as the def
mite end of the bitterness created by
the strike of the players. and it was
looked upon as certain that a better
feeling would be Immediately created
between the players and representa-
tives of the managerial forces of the
theatcr
Cohan took conspicuous part in the
managerial opposition to the demands
of the players. His resignation from
the Friars came as a natural sequence,
but was regretted by members, for
Cohan, himself prominently identified
with the profession as producer, play
loved men on Broadway prior to the
Equity struggle.
Members of the Equity contended
that in their stand for better treat
ment Of the playing forces they meant
no personal attack on Cohan, but were
engaged in a fight for a principle. in
which success only could be attained by
combating the entire managerial realm.
Actor Quit Harris
AS an upshot of the trouble, Cohan
severed his business connection with
Sam II. Harris, after an intimate re-
lationship that had continued for
nearly twenty years. Disguised with
the turn of events, he announced he
would quit the theater entirely.
But the old germ returned this sea-
son. Cohan, producing on his own
account, introduced three plays to the
Broadway theaters and finally made
his return complete and emphatic by
hn tIn
play "The Meanest Man in the World"
The reconciliation with the Friars. to
which he,was devoted from its earliest
days, marked the complete healing of
the old wounds. His reelection as
abbot next Wednesday is expected to
be an event without parallel In the
history of this organization.

10 W0odsmen Drown
When Motor Boat Burns
Workers Become Panicstricken
After Failing to Quench Fire
and Leap Into Maine Lake

BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 19.-Sixteen
woodsmen were drowned in Chesun-
cook Lake, in the heart of the lumber
ing district late yesterday afternoon.
when a motor boat caught fire. The
men were being taken across the lake
from Chesuncook Dam to Cuxabesis
Efforts to quench the fire failing, the
party became panic stricken and many
leaped overheard.
The icy water soon exhausted those
who thought to escape by swimming,
and all of them are believed to have
lost their lives.
About half the crew remained with
the boat, and although they were
forced to drop overheard after the en-
gine stopped they clung to the side of
the craft until it was blown shoreward
by the strong wind. The boat drifted
against mass of stumps that pro-
truded above the water, and these
served as isles of safety for the men
until they were rescued by crews from
neighboring lumber camps and village
folks who had seen the flames from a
distance.
Seventeen in all are believed to have
been saved. Some of these. however,
were reported in . serious condition
from exposure.

Two persons are under suspicion of
having helped plot the s5oo,OOo jewel
robbery in the home of Mrs. Charlotte
King Palmer, SO East Ninetieth Street,
early Tuesday morning. They are be-
ing watched and one or both of them
may be arrested to-day.
Mrs. Palmer's story that she was
waylaid as she entered her bedroom
by three men--one of them a French
man, whose chivalry somewhat light
ened the rigor of the six hours she
spent gagged and bound, while his
confederates ransacked the hoase-has
been established to the complete salts
faction of Thomas ]. Corrigan jr., head
of the agency investigating the rob-
berry for the insurance underwriters.
II am entirely convinced that Mrs.
Palmer's account, fantastic though it
might seem, is accurate" Corrigan
said. "If there is any one to whose
interest it would be TO break down her
version it is myself, for l could there
by save my clients, the insurance COM
pany, more than $4,000. But if it
were to cost them s1,O0O,O0O | could
not honestly express any other view.

times, under different circumstances.
and her stories have never varied"
X-Ray Shows Broken Bones
The detective added that he had seen
the X-ray photographs Of Mrs. Palmer's
feet, and that they show three broken
bones in one and two in the other.
He construes. this as substantiatlnp
her statement that she jumped down a
long stairway in an effort to escape
the burglars.
Another bit of confirmation was OBJ
tanned yesterday when one of Corri-
gan's men discovered a slit in a win
dow shade on the westerly side of the
top floor. This, it is believed, was
used as peephole by the robbers to
see Mrs. Palmer's car when it drove
up to the curb. They are supposed to
have taken turns as lookouts during
the four hours from 9 o'clock Monday
night, when the two servants say they
were set upon, gagged, bound and
blindfolded, to 1 a. m. Tuesday, when
their mistress reached home.
