JMEVS FORBES fiOT INSPIRATION
FOR "THE (OMMTTEKS" FROM
REAL INCIDENTS.
There are many ways and means
of securing inspirations. Soma au
thors and playwrights prefer to re
tire to the solitude of their "dens",
there to ponder and perspire. Others
find that their intellect scintillates
with greatest brilliance in the open
air, or In the silent woods. Some go
walking on rainy days and nights
when the lights gleam from the wet
streets. Then there have been mis
guided Individuals who are masters
of their genius only when under the
influence of quarts of black coffee or
an Injection of cocaine, as practised
by Sherlock Holmes In periods of de
pression when crime was dull and
his Imagination needed a goad.
Hut James Forbes, who wrote "The
Commuters", which come s to the
Grand Opera House Wednesday,. No
vember 22, would have none of these.
He believed in going straight Into the
water In which he wished to swim.
So when he decided thaf a comedy
upon suburban life would be his
next contribution to the stage, he
spent many days and dollars travel
ing on way trains, through tank
towns about New York City, with
notebook and pencil, his weather eye
upon his fellow travelers, especially
those with lawn mowers or new ser
vants. Whenever he saw a thing or
overheard an expression which struck
him as characteristically suburban,
down It would go In his notebook to
be later woven Into the fabric of his
plot
"The Commuters" will be seen
here with the same cast seen In New
York and Boston, and Includes Hnrry
Davenport, Florence Malone, Amy
Lesser, E. Y. Backus, Frederic Mal
colm, John Robertson, Lillian Thur

WILL DELIVER
ALL MESSAGES
FREE OF CHARGE
"The Western Union Telegraph
company announces an arrangement
by which the free delivery limits
within which telegrams are to be de
livered shall be extended so as to
cover with practically few excep
tions, the corporate limits of all
cities and towns where Independent
telegraph offices are established.
The arrangement will be made effec
tive generally within the next lew
days and will cause a discontinu
ance of the collection of delivery
charges upon telegrams addressed to
persons who reside within the es
tablished limits of cities nnd towns.
The free delivery area will be
stretched out to Include sections of
cities and towns not now favored
with free delivery service, excepting
In Isolated enses, where because of
Inaccessible locations car fare col
lections may bo necessary. As is
well known, the telegraph companies
have heretofore made collections of
car fares as well as delivery charges
upon messages delivered In a very
large proportion of the residential
sections of the cities. The establish
ment of the new plan by which these
charges are discontinued, is made
practicable largely by larger use of
the employment of the telephone in
the delivery of great numbers of
messages addressed to parties who
have telephones In their houses, and
ns tho use of the telephone has been
largely Instrumental In bringing
about the conditions by .which the
public Is to be relieved of delivery
charges, It is hoped that the com
pany may be able to utilize the tele
phone to as great an extent as pos
sible In the final delivery of tele
grams addressed to persons living In
tho residential portions of cities as
well ns to reach certain business
houses situated in distant territory.
The Intention of the Western Union
Is to have the amount paid for the
transmission of messages cover their
delivery within an extended area
and to embrace ns many largo users
of the telegraph as a reasonably lib
eral policy may warrant and to the
people who live within tho corporate
limits of cities nnd may be reached
without causing the telegraph com
panies to assume unreasonable ex
pense in effecting delivery. The uni-
formed messenger will hereafter per
forin his service without cost to the
recipient of messages.
The establishment of this plan in
volves a sacrifice by the telegraph
company of a considerable revenue
heretofore received for car fare and
delivery charges, but In the consid
eration of a plan which would bring
relief to the public from the further
exaction of these long established de
livery charges, it was felt that no
system would be fully satisfactory
which did not tend to remove addi
tional charges within corporate lim
its of cities and towns where such
limits did not extend Into territory
so Isolated and distant that free de
livery would be an unreasonable bur
den upon the telegraph company.

enhances the value of the day letter
janil night letter service to Its pa-
Irons by largely removing additional
ichargps, which have heretofore been
collected from tlie recipient of .tele
! grains but the methods of the tele
graph company have been Improved
to such an extent as to make it feel
that It may assume the additional
cost of an extended free delivery
service rather than cause the public
to further bear this charge.
Arrangements are being consumat
ed by which this plan,. will be estab
lished In all cities on the Pacific
coast without delay, and the general
extension of the free delivery area
comes as adjunct to plans of the com
pany to enhance the advantages of
tho telegraph service In general."
