Charles Frohman Says Eng
lish Taste For Them
Is Growing.
Niw York, Juno 18.—Charlez Froh
man, the th. -tfriool manager, returned
to New York on. tha Lusitania today
"full or plans, health and hope." He
expects to return to London by Christ
mas, he said.
"I came here at this time because I
don’t believe In play' ll? against a
greater attraction -that I have," he de
clared. "Jn other words, It Is the coro
nation season In. London, and I thought
I would escape to America.
'I am planning a great many new
things. Some will probably go up and
some will go down, I suppose.
"American plays will continue to be
accepted, In .England. Tbe English taste
for them Is growing more and more and
they are coming to the (ore In English
mind and heart.
"The stage, 1 believe, has no geogra
phy, and Americans can work In any
part.”
Discussing the coronation, he said
that the high prices demanded In Lon
don were driving many Americans to
Paris.
Discussing the Gaiety theater In Lon
don, Mr. Frohman said that the only
Idea Frank Gould has Is to got the
stock of the play house, because It paid
20 per cent under the management of
George Edwards.
It was reported that Gould had plan-
ned to oust Edwards because the man
ager had failed to recognise the ability
of Mrs, Gould when she appeared there
before her marriage.
Mr. Fmliman'a plans Include the
opening of a new theater at Haymarket
—his fourth—next season. He will
produce "Nobody's Widow,” the Amer
ican play, In London.

Bskar City, Orsg., June 16.—Mrs.
Bldney C. Love, whose husband’s coun
ter suit for divorce Is being heard here,
and who was declared by Artist Burae
Jones to be the molt beautiful woman
In the world, today declared that, she

The alleged, excessive smoking of

principal points made against her in

would quit because of the "comment
which had been stirred up."
Vice President Winburn in Macon.
Macon, Ga., Juns 16^—W. A. Winburn,
vice president of the Central of Georgia,
fa here'today on one of his annual in
spection trips. Mr. Winburn declares
that there is no special significance to
his visit.
Methbers of the police committee
failed to agree on the limits of a beer
zone for ths coming year Thursday
aftemoon. and a minority .report by Al
derman Warren will probably bring on
a warm light In council. ’
There were vlgprous protests against
some of the saloons. A petition alleg
ing two saloons at the corner of Peters
and Walker-sts. to be nuisances was
read, signed by representatives of the
Bauknlgbt Furniture Company, i Smith
& Higgins, Duval-Chrlstlan Company
and others. There are two saloons
there, one for white people, run by Red-
wlne, and one for negroes, run by a
man named Carey, and both have
proved pests.
Dr. A. L. Curtis, former councilman
from the First .ward, was present and
urged the members of the committee
Individually not to close the saloons,
there, as one of them rents a building
from him and’a reduction of the zone
would thus make him suffer.
The light to get these saloons discon
tinued will be taken, up in council and
vigorously waged there. Alderman A.
J. Johnson, of the First ward, Is also
opposed to refusing them license.
Edgewood Places Closed.
On July 1 all the saloons in Edge-
wood-ave., from Butler-st. to Plcd-
mont-ave. will *be closed and no re
newal of license given. These saloons
were closed by council because so many
women pass along the street The
merchants and other citizens In Pe
ters-st. object ta the saloons there foe
the same reason, as they are In (he
center of the progressive retail district
of that section.
A reduction of the zone was first de
cided by the committee. Chairman W.
O. Humphrey breaking a tie. VanDyke
and Johnston voting against It and
Warren and McClelland voting for it.
Then Councilman McClelland made a
motion to reconsider the whole mat
ter. Alderman Warren opposed the
motion and said he would take a mi
nority report to council, and Chairman
Humphrey did not vote.
Urges Time Extension.
"Since the saloonkeepers who would
be cut out by this zone reduction have
paid their state and county taxes and
since an abolishment of them would
mean a reduction In city taxes of about
29,000, I felt that It was too radical a
change to be made by the committee
and I made a motion to reconsider,"
said Councilman McClelland.' "I think
that the saloons should; be given a cer
tain time limit’ within which to close,
as they were In Edgewood-ave."
The reduction of the zone contem
plated cutting out a number of saloons
against which there were protests. The
changes proposed brought In the limits
In Decatur-st. from the railroad cross
ing to Fort-st.; In Marletta-st„ from
North-ave. to Jones-st.; ‘In West Mltch-
ell-st„ from E!lllott-sL to Madlson-ave.,
ond In Peters-st., from Fechter’s alley
to Walker-st.
This change would revoke the licenses
of a larger number of saloons, espe
cially those run for negroes. Protest
ing'against places within this limit
were Rev. J. M. Brittain, pastof of
Temple Baptist church; Dr. A. C. Ward,
R. M. Harwell, a number of women and
m*n' representatives of the Frank E.
Block Company, and others. And there
were many beer dealers present.
The committee granted all licenses
but those objected to by the police do
partment.
In support of his minority report At.
derman Warren said that the chief of
police had asked for this reduction of
the zone and that he considered It the
duty,of the committee to comply.
JONES’ PARTNER ADMITS
HE WAS AN EASY MARK
Chicago, July 16^-Charles L. John
son, former member of the board of
directors of the Union Bank of Chicago
and former partner of Frank J. Jones,
the 2600.000 forger, today admitted that
he had been an "easy mark" for Jones.
Johnson declared that he knew abso
lutely nothing of the shady operations
of his partner and said he resigned
from the directorate of the bank be
cause of his chagrin at his lack of bust,
ness acumen In letting the forgeries
"get by" him.
Jones, too, who admitted forging
false acknowledgments of Indebtedness
on big Arms and raising cash thereby,
corroborated Johnson’s statement that
he knew nothing of the operations.

stated that Curphey was to demand an
apology or personal satisfaction from
Banker Mellon and was to protect Mrs.
Mellon In the suit and see that she got
fair play.
According to Pittsburg dispatches
Curphey was unable to sea the banker
and was trailed constantly by detect
ives. Finally he and - Captain Kirk-
bride were served with a summons to
appear In the law ofilces of Mellon’s
counsel and make a deposition. They
declined on advice of counsel to ap
pear at the designated time, Wednes
day, on account of the unsettled stats
of certain features of the divorce case.
Instead Curphey and his army friend

quest to consult with their lawyers. As
soon as they left Pittsburg, steps were
taken to Indict them, oltho they had
voluntarily placed themselves within
the Jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania
courts and say they Intended to go
