 He told me that Watson later said he had seen Hearst and that Hearst had said: We must destroy Fallon at any cost"
 Eidlitz cried, FallOn said. as he re- lated that employees of Hearst had tricked him into making his revelations about Fallon, by warning him that Fal- lon was seeking his arrest. Eidlitz is the governments star witness against FalloA.
 The mention of the birth certificates was worked into the record only after Fallon had been thwarted in previous attempts. It was the blast that Broad way had been waiting for, but owing to the indirect manner in which Fall lon contriyed to present this phase of his case to the jury, the name of the actress was not published.

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON WHEN
HISTORY BECOMES BUNK
Noveists and Playwrights Distort Subject With
Their Highly Colored Treatment.

IT HAVE just read an announce
ment Of a proposal in France
to organize the production Of
what might be called ''fictional
history" This does not mean
that history Is to be turned into
fiction, but only that the old and
irregular practice of presenting
historical events and Characters
In the atmosphere, and amid the
surroundings, of fiction Is to be
regularized, and, / suppose, sub
jected to a code OF laws.
Now, / have seen 80 much OF
the evil effect OF the novelist's
and the playwright's method OF
presenting history that / wish to
utter protest against any propo-
sition to extend and encourage
that kind Of literature. Notwith-
standing the innocuous, and more
or less doubtful, success Of Scott,
and a few other conscientious
romance writers, in introducing
historic personages into their
tales, the practice is not one Of
general utility.
The assertion is sometimes
made that the great majority of
readers will not touch history at
all, unless 1t is sugar-coated with
fiction. do not believe that; but
even IL It were true 1t would not
excuse the proceedings of writer's
who give to their readers as a
substitute for history farrago Of
borrowed, and more or less de-
natured, facts mixed indiscrimi-
nately with a fanciful mass OF
pure invention. Those who de-
rive their acquaintance with the
great characters, or great crisis,
marking the history of their
country. or other countries only
from such sources treat them
selves as children.
History in Novels.
The professional fiction writer
is constitutionally incapable of
writing history. His mind Is a
microscope looking for small. de-
tails, combined with a kaleido-
scope which creates its own de-

ian's mind is telescope. has to
