PRIVATE THEATER IS BUILT
King and Queen to Be Entertained
at Knowsley Hall.
LONDON, July 6. (Special.) For
what has wrongly been announced as
the music-hall "command" performance
at Knowsley Hall, when Lord Derby
entertains the King and Queen at his
iancasnire seat during their majesties
visit to the county, a special theatei
has been constructed at a cost of $10 -000.
'
The main fabric itself Is that of the
huge conservatory attached to the
mansion, and this has been converted
into a handsome playhouse, with a
stage aDout the slse of that at th
Little Theater, and with a dais in the
center of the auditorium for the accom
modation of the King and Queen Queen
Mary will sit in the same- chair that
Queen Victoria occupied on the semi
state occasions connected with her last
visit to Lancashire.
An orchestra of 20 picked musicians
will be hidden from view, and the space
excavated ior tne purpose extends to
some depth beneath the stage, so that
satisfactory ventilation may be ob
tained for the performers. The fur
nishings of the theater will be unique.
The music hall entertainment Is in no
sense a "command" performance.
though it Is true that their majesties
exercised their choice in the selection
of artists for the Knowsley Hall vari
ety programme.
The programme consists of seven
turns," for each of which special scen
ery has had to be made to fit the small
stage. George Graves will appear in
"Koffo of Bond Street" a miniature
"production" compared with that orig
inally arranged for him by Frank
Parker at the Palace Theater. Mr. Neill
will' give -his humorous "scena" called
"The Postic of Dunrobbin". George
Formby will have a lot. to say and to
sing in the Lancashire dialect. Olga
Elgar and Eli Hydson will present their
charming musical entertainment, and
the others In the bill are the child
dancers, Frank and Vesta, the "ven
trlloqutal huntsman," Tom Edwards,
the famous illusionist, David Devant.

SERVIANS CHEER
AS FOES LIE DYING
Incident at Belgrade Adds to
Bitterness of Conflict
of Former Allies.
ROUMANIANS HOLD KEY
Attitude of Neigliboring State Is Im
portant to Bulgarian Success.
Turkish Troops Restive in
View of Opportunity. '
LONDON, July 5. A disgraceful In
cident marked the arrival at Belgrade
today of 1384 Bulgarian prisoners of
war, according to a special , dispatch
from the Servian capital. The prisoners
were marched, -through the streets in
the presence of immense crowds of
Servians, who closed in cheering wildly
at the rear of -wagona loaded withh
wounded lying three deep, many of
them apparently dying.
Even this did not stop the enthusias
tic outburst of the mob and the corres
pondent adds that peace between the
two nations is impossible after this.
A. dispatch from Vienna, however,
says that private reports from. Bel
grade indicate that even Servian offi
cial quarters'are beginning to fear that
the campaign against the Bulgarians Is
almost hopeless. For Bulgaria the at
titude of Koumania constitutes the
greatest menace. The Roumanian army
has been provisionally mobilized, but
the government makes her future atti
tude dependent upon the negotiations
with Bulgaria.
It is hoped here that Bulgarian
statesmen will perceive the necessity of
coming to a speedy-and amicable set
tlement with their neighbor, whose
friendship at the present moment is of
such vital necessity to Bulgaria. The
Servian loss of the Timol division, in
addition to the breaking up of the
.unna aivision, is regarded in informed
circles in Vienna as presaging a
speedy conclusion of the war.
A semi-official statement from Con
stantinople says the Turkish govern
ment desires to maintain neutrality. It
adds significantly that the conflict be
tween the Balkan allies has aroused ex
cltement in the Turkish army "which it
will be difficult for the government to
check if Turkey does not obtain just
and equitable recognition of her rights.
The opinion Is general in influential
Turkish quarters that Turkey should
take prompt advantage of the present
splendid opportunity to recover some
of her lost territory.
The Bulgarian troops are reported
by the correspondent of the "Vienna
Tageblatt to have reoccupied Ghev
gheli at the point of the bayonet af
ter the Greeks had been in possession
of the place for 48 hours. The Bul
garians are reported to be advancing
on Egrl Palanka, where a great battle
against the Servians is imminent.
WOMAN MAULED AT PARTY
Suffragettes '- Suffer for Disturbing
Lloyd-George's Speech.
LONDON, July 5 Seven suffragettes
and their six male champions, one of
whom was a clergyman, were ejected
for raising a disturbance during the
speech this afternoon of Chancellor
Lloyd George at a garden party or
ganized by the Radicals at West Isling
ton. Despite the Chancellor's plea that
the removal of the disturbers be done
gently, - one- woman was ; -so - badly
mauled that she had to receive medical
treatment. From that on, Mr. Lloyd
George's speech was without interrup
tion. The Methodist chapel in : Pwllheli,
Wa,les, the construction of which re
cently cost $40,000, was destroyed by
fire today, and an attempt was made
to burn the Baptist Tabernacle in the
same town. As usual, the militant
suffragettes are suspected by the au
thorities. Another supposed attempt by mili
tant suffragettes to commit an outrage
occurred at Bolton, Lancashire, this
morning. The caretaker of the new
town hall, which cost (150,000, -discovered
a parcel containing explosives in
the letter box.
SECRET NOT TOLD
SHORT COURSE URGED
EDUCATOR, SAYS SCHOOL DAY'S
IiAST TOO IXJXG.
Plea Made for Graduation of Youth
by Time He Is 20 Teachers
Are Too Poorly Paid.
SALT LAKE, Utah, July 5. The first
day of the National Education Associa
tion's fifty-first annual convention was
devoted to three meetings- of the Na
tional Council of Education.
At the afternoon session President
Baker, of the University of Colorado,
presented a report on the "Economy
of Time in Education," in which he de
clared that school and college courses
were too long and that they should be
shortened so that students might grad
uate from college by the time they
were 20.
In discussing the report on teachers'
salaries, presented at the morning ses
sion. Carroll II. Fears, superintendent
of Milwaukee schools, said:
"Salaries paid school teachers are
by far the lowest paid to any class or
profession. Teachers must be paid more
or the public must be content to see the
quality of the teaching force undergo
progressive deterioration."
It was announced at the meeting
that Dr. Irwin . Shepard, of Winona,
Minn., for 20 years executive secretary
of the National Education Associa
tion, had accepted the appointment of
National secretary of the bureau of
conventions for. the Panama-Pacific
Exposition.

pendent for their existence on the re
suits of agriculture and nothing is more
certain than that the radiation from
the sun lies at the basis of the prin
cipal weather elements in the earth's
atmosphere.
"It should not be inferred that a sud
den small change in the sun's radiation
produces immediate effect in the ter
restrial temperatures. The earth's at
mosphere takes up these changes and
gradually communicates them to the
earth's surface. How soon, and to what
degree, remains to be investigated.
Continuous study, extended, perhaps,
over many years, will be required to de
termine if these changes in radiation
can be predicted in advance, and if the
laws can be determined which govern
them. It Is evidently a most practical
problem, touching the Interests of every
inhabitant of the earth."
Professor W. J. Humphreys, of Washing
ton. D. C. says the assertion of aviators
that there are "holes" or "soft spots" 1b the
air Is pure nonsense.
Operation Fails to Restore
: Memory of Unknown.
BRAIN CELLS DEGENERATE
Man Who Indicated by Signs He
Wished Surgeons to Try to Re
store Faculties Doomed to
Continue in Oblivion.
ROCHESTER, Minn., July 5. "J. C.
R.." the "unknown" at the State Hos
pital for the Insane here, probably
never will recall his own name or that
of his birthplace, or tell friends here
the details of his past life. Physi
cians today performed what they
termed a remarkable operation, but ac
cording to Dr. C. C. Heyerdale. of the
State Hospital staff, there is little
hope that the operation will give back
to "Roe" his memory or speech.
The physician found that "Roe" had
at one time had a hemmorhage of the
brain, as a result of which a large
area of brain cells In that portion of
tne brain relating to the speech and
memory had degenerated.
A large cyst containing fluid was
taken . from "Roe's" brain, and. al
though he was on the operating table
more than an hour he withstood the
shock well.
"Roe" was found partially paralyzed.
lying beside a railway track, several
years ago, and soon afterward was
brought to the hospital here. From
signs from which he has made, it has
been thought that his initials are
"J. C. R." and that he formerly was
connected with the Navy. The opera
tion was undertaken by his request,
made by signs.-in hope that his mem
ory and speech could be restored.
WESTMAN WINS PAROLE

"White Slave" Acts.
WASHINGTON, July 6. Senator
Chamberlain was informed today by

role had been granted to David West
man, the first man convicted in Oregon
under the white slave act. He was
sentenced on November 30, 1910, to

model prisoner and to have shown
every evidence of intention to reform.
While Westman was employed by the
Wind River Lumber Company at' Cas
cade Locks his head was injured, for
which injury he obtained $5000 dam
ages. It has been asserted that fol
lowing this injury he was made a tool
of by women. The charge against
Westman was placing his wife in a
disorderly house. -"- ''
