COUNTERFEIT PLANT
TO AID SCHOLARS
FacSimiIeS of Rare Editions
From Shakespear to Be
Published.

~ the Associated Press.
SAN MARuNO, Calf, June 15.--A
counterfeiting plant is In operation here
for popular and scholarly enl.ghten-
ment 1t Is the laboratory Of the
Henry T.. Huntington Library and Art
Gallery,
IT'S latest, and second in . proposed
long series Of counterfeitS, made its
appearance recently-A facsimile repro
duction Of THE Tragicall Historic OF
Hamlet Prince Of Denmark" from the
rare quarto Of 1908.
The original little thin quarto Of 66
pages is worth more than many entire
libraries, for there are but two known
copies extant. One Is In the British
Museum, the other among 165 volumes
of Shakespeare, embracing every first
edition Of the plays, with the exception
OF Titus AndronicuS," and 20 various
copies Of the four folics, q collection
worth $2,5O0,000.
Four three-foot shelves of the Hunt
ington Library house this worlds most
valuable collection Of Shakespeare.
Facsimiles Planned.
Max Farrand, curator Of the museum
and its director of research, in making
known the existence Of his counterfeit
ing plant, announced that the library
plans to issue from time to time for
the benefit Of students throughout the
world. exact facsimiles Of the Hunting
ton treasures.
AS If imbued with the ghostly spirit
of the ghost within 1t, this Hamlet
quarto vanished two centuries ago and

was said to have been prematurely born
kidnapped, fraudulently exposed to
view, then lost for 200 years, and final
ly sold to the late Henry E. Hunting
ton, Americas greatest collector, who
left his art treasures for the public.
The true and perfect coppie" Of
Hamlet. newly imprinted and enlarged
to almost as much again as 1t was,'
was printed in 1904, and is the edition
with which most people are familiar
For instance the original 1903 edition
reads:
Differs in SoIiloquy.
ITO BE- eo, or not to be- I there's the
TO die, to sleepe, is that alp I ALL
Few will recognize that as Hamlets
soliloquy, for the better known 1904 re-
vision from Shakespeare's quill made 1t:
ITO be, or not to be, that is the ques-
ton,
ITO sleep! Perchance to dream! Az
there's the rub"
Some research, students believe the
original edition was stolen and printed
prematurely, without the authors con-
sent. One story Is that a certain actor
in the company for which Shakespeare
wrote Hamlet memorized the play, i'm
perfectly in parts, and sold the author
out. That may account why the 1904
edition was announced as the true
and perfect coppie."

Capital Stirred
By Latest Book

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. UP)-
The Washington Daily News in a
story by its political and social COM
mentator, George Abel, said today
that the secret service on orders
from President Hoover is investi-
eating the authorship of Wash
ington Merry-Go-Round,' a recent
anonymous book in which virtually
the entire administration was cas-
tigated.
The News said further that men,
bers of the Republican national
committee will follow up the secret
service inquiry by seeking a con-
greSsional' investigation next WIN
ter. Prominent members of the COM
mittee were said to believe the book
was inspired by Democratic agen-
cies.
Horace Liyeright g. Company,
publishers of the volume, were
quoted as saying they would "resist
to the last" any attempt to force
them to disclose the authors iden-
tity.
President Hoover was held by the
anonymous writer to be a victim of
his own fear and vacillation."

TEXAS READY To
FOLLOW ACTION
OF OKLAHOMA

AUSTIN, Tex. Aug. IL. UP)-At-
tention of the oil industry was TO-
cused today on the Texas legisla-
ture which was believed to hold the
key to the oyerproduction problem
which has threatened the entire
industry with financial ruin.
A special committee had pre-
pared a new conservation measure
which was said to be acceptable to
Governor Ross Sterling and a ma
jority of the legislators.
All hope of curtailing output of
the rampant East Texas district,
where production has gone speedily
upward while prices tllmbled to IA
cents a barrel, lay in his bill, as the
special session of the legislature
ends at midnight tonight.
Governor Sterling indicated that
if the measure failed he would fol-
low Governor w. II. Murrays eX-
ample, put the oil fields under mar
tial law and close all wells.
The governor announced Monday
he would take drastic measures
if production cannot be curtailed
any other way.
The Kansas Public Service Com
mission also issued an ultimatum
to refiners that Kansas wells would
be closed If the price did not adj
vance. Wyoming was considering a
similar move.

DIAMOND GETS
FOUR YEAR TERM
AND HEAVY FINE

NEW YORK, Aug 12 U.P)-Jack
Gegs) Diamond was sentenced to-
day to serve four years in Atlanta
and pay a fine of $1,000 following
his conviction of conspiracy to vio-
late the prohibition act and pos
session of an illicit still.
The sentence. handed down by
Judge Richard j. Hopkins, of Kan
sas, a guest jurist in New York,
was the maximum permitted under
the law.
Paul Quatrocchi, Diamonds lieu
tenant in the Green county rum
running business, was sentenced to
serve two years in Atlanta and pay
a fine of $5000
Daniel Prior, attorney for Dia-
mond, Immediately filed notice of
appeal and bail of $4,000 was set
for the gangster. Diamond left the
court to arrange for filing of the
bond with tears in his eyes.
A similar notice was filed for
Quatrocchi and bond of $500 was
fixed.
There was no demonstration when
Judge Hopkins passed sentence.
Diamond who had asked permis-
sion of the court to remain seated
while the usual arguments for dis
missal of the indictments were
made and denied, rose as the Kan
sas jurist called his name.
When ne realized the full import
of the sentence his sallow face
flushed slightly and he walked
slowly back to his chair, bowed his
head in his hands for a moment
and then looked despairingly at his
counsel
Diamond was newly shorn and
shaven. He was accompanied into
court by Alexander Green, who is
on trial with intimidations of wit
nesses in his capacity as inVestiga-
tor for Prior.

Former Head OF Nation
alists In China Parleys
With Japanese.

TOXIC, Aug. Il. U.P)-Satisfac-
tory conversations with Baron XII
jiro Shidehara, japanese foreign
minister, and other japanese lead
ers have been concluded by Eugene
Chen, former confidential secretary
of Sun Vat Sen and later leader of
the Nationalists forced out of con-
troll by the national government,
Chen said today in his first inter-
view since arriving in Japan.
Announcing that he would return
to Canton Friday from Kobe, Chen
predicted sensational events in
Nanking within six weeks. He
claimed coalition was being
formed against Chang Kai-Shek
headed by Governor Yen ShiShan
of Shansi, Feng Yu-Hsiang and
other leaders.
He said the Cantonese were pre-
pairing to march on HankoW short
ly and planned to make Nanking
their capital as soon as Chang Kai-
Shek was ouSted.
If successful their plans call for
giving Manchuria to Governor Yen
Shi-Shan, since Chan Hieuh-Liang
is 80 closely identified with Chang
Kai-Shek that he also must be elm
mated"
Chen said he told Baron Shide-
hara that no promises could be
made in respect to the policy of his
group toward Japan, since such
policies must be based on Chinese
public opinion. He denied reports
that he was attempting to purchase
arms.
He said that protests would be
entered with Washington as soon
as he returns to Canton because of
the sale of American arms to Nam
king leaders.
Chen remarked that President
Hooyer's authorization on NUM-
tions exports would likely place Am
erica in the same embarrassing po-
sition in which she found herself in
Brazil when the revolutionists
gained power despite the fact
Washington supported the govern
ment.

NOME ENJOYING

Colonel Preparing For
Next Stage OF Flight
To Siberian Point.

NOME. Alaska. Aug. u. U.P)--
Nome was all excitement today over
its two world famous yisitors-Col-
onel and Mrs. Charles A Lindbergh
Who flew from Point Barrow TO
Safety Bay, east of here, in their
trim yellow and black low winged
monoplane yesterday and then were
brought here last night by automo-
bile.
The Lindberghs passed over
Nome when they arrived from Point
Barrow, but after skimming close
to the surface of the Nome river,
reconnoitered a few minutes and
then sped on to lagoon on Safe
ty Bay, where they put their plane
down in a graceful landing at 1898
a. m. d:35 p. m. PST).
All Nome cheered Justify as the
Lindbergh monoplane passed over
the city.
Whites and natives were amazed
when they saw Lindbergh fly over
the Nome river only to find him
missing when they rushed to where
they believed he had made a land
ing with his pontoon-eq
plane
Only a startled seven year old
half-bree girl saw the plane skim
over the water of the lagoon. She
darted away in near terror and
awaited the arrival of the crowd
from Nome.
Grant Jackson, president of the
Nome Chamber of Commerce, went
to Safety Bay and brought the
Lindberghs here in his automobile.
The hop from Point Barrow to
Nome was the last the Lindberghs
will make over American territory
on their vacation" jaunt to Japan.
They will fly from here to Kara
ginSk, Siberia.
! This town, as all of the rest of
| the towns where the Lindberghs
/ have made short stops during their
flight, will be wide open to the
famous young couple during their
stay.
1t was believed they would leave
either today or Thursday on their
! next hop-a 1067-mile flight to Kar-
| aginsk They will cross the Bering
Sea and then follow the coastline
of Siberia and Kamatchka penin-
sula to Japan. Additional stops al
Petropavlosk and Nemuro are PLAN
ned before the Lindberghs reach
Toxic.

Nome on the hop over Bering Sea
