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. See the human torch at the rink. BY GEORGIA DENTISTS Mason Succeeds Tigner as President—Americus Gets Convention. Macon, Ga., June 16—The final day's session of the annual convention of the Georgia Dental society was by far the most Interesting of the entire session.

Tigner, of Atlanta; DeLos L. Hill, of Atlanta, ns first vice president, In the place of Dr. Mason, who went Into the presidency; E. A’.

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 would give up cigarettes. The alleged, excessive smoking of cigarettes by Mrs. Love is one of the principal points made against her in the testimony here.

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.
