TAYLOR, DRAMATIST, DIES IN NEW YORK Was Associate of Mark Twain- Introduced Patti New York; July 8.—Howard P. Taylor, dramatist and playwright, died yesterday at his home, 583 River- side Drive. He had been suffering ‘for six years with rheumatism. Mr. Taylor, who was for years a close associate of Mark Twain, was born in Loulsville, March 8, 1838. He went to California when a boy; be- came a printer’s devil in the office of the old San Francisco Argonaut, be- | then Nev., came an editorial writer and hiked out for Virginia City, s where he got to know Twain. In San Francisco he built the old Grand Opera house and managed it for years. He was the first to induce Adelina Patti to tour as far as the Coast, and then he took her into Mexico. His first venture in playwriting was “Snowflake,” in which he starred An- nie Pixley. His next great success was “Caprice,” which Minnie Mad- dern Fiske played for seven years. His works include “Inherited,” Little Pauper,” “Lady Ashley,” Little Sinner,” “Infatuation,” ples,” ‘Little Puck,” made famous by Frank Daniels; “The Pulse of York,” “Pretty Miss Nobody,” “Irish Inspiration,” “The Diamond Breaker," “Nell Gwynn,” “Chrissy,” “Flashlights of New York,” “Sinless Sinners,” “So- clety Shadows, faine and Georgia,” “A Drummer in Petticoats,” “Scram- bled Matrimony,” “A Break for Li- ber and “The Jolly Widow.” His last play was “Pretty Miss Nobody,” first produced about eight years ago and is still playing. According to his son, Howard Pren- tiss Taylor, a banker of Pittsburgh, who was summoned to his father’s bedside a few days ago, and who is at the Waldorf-Astoria, Mr. Taylor hade his best money out of “A Break for Liberty,” which ran for years, though ‘‘Caprice” was a highly suc- cessful venture financially. The last book he wrote was “The Idiosyncra- sles of Mark Twain.” Mr. Taylor was vice president the American Dramatists club, and did valuable work in securing the present copyright law. He leaves a widow and one son. His body will be cremated taken to California to be buried the side of his mother and sister. of and b KID McCOY ORDERLY.

EFFORT T0 BREAK WILL OF M'LEAN Son Files Caveat Claiming Irre- sponsihility of Father including Bat- Conn., Battery E 200 Georgia men are here and several other bat- are expected within a few Washington, July 8.—Edward Beale McLean filed the District Su- preme court yesterday, a suit to break the will of his father, John R. Mc- Lean, who was owner and publisher of the Washington Post and the Cin- in cinnati Enquirer. The estate is val- ued at between $16,000,000 and $20,- 000,000. Young Mr. McLean has retained Elihu Root, John B. Stanchfield of New York and several Washington at- torney: The caveat to the will re- cites that “the testator was not of sound and disposing mind, nor cap- able of making or executing a valid deed or contract,”” at the time the will was made. 'The petition also sets forth that the will “was procured by importuninties, persuasios, misrepre- sentations and undue influences prac- tised upon the said John R. Malean at a time when he was enfeebled in bedy and mind.” M. McLean left the income of the | entire estate to the son The docu- ment provided that upon the death of the son the principal should go to the children living at the time of their father's death the estate should go to Edward Beale McLean's heirs at law. | In any case the sum of $100,000 each is left to the children when they reach the age of 25 years, an addi- tional §100.000 when they reach 30 |and an additional $100,000 when they reach 35 years. The will gave Francis T. Homer, a Baltimore lawyer, wide authority as counsel for the -estate, directing the American Security and Trust com- pany, the executor, to consult Mr. Homer in regard to all matters, and providing an annual income of $10- 000 for his work The newspaper properties in particular cannot be dis- | posed without Mr. Homer’s consent. Mr. Homer handled much of Mr. Mec- | Lean's business when the publisher was living and was a close friend.

GREAT NATIONS FAGE BANKRUPTCY, HIRST London Writer Predicts Financial Failure for Belligerents London, July 8.—Francis W. valedictory resigning the edito The London Economist, after a tenurc of nine years, says: “In my view, the financial fahric of western Europe is in imminent peril, and in a few more months it will no longer be possible to disguise ihe bankrupt condition of several great nations. Civilization, as we have known it, and representative institu- tions are doomed unless through the exertions of individuals the rights, without which an Englishman, at any rate, will hardly care to live, are speedily restored. To this end free- dom and independence must somehow be won back for parliament and the Hirst has been an opponent of the restrictions enforted by the de- fense of the realm act and “secret Ai- plomacy.” Replying to The Times, which states that he imparted to The Fconomist “ a distressingly pacifist policy,” he says: “In plain English, I am accased of being a peacemaker. The accusation is not distressing to me. I plead guilty to the charge. It has heen my prinei- pal object during the last to prepare the public mind for peace by separating passion and fiction from reason and fact, and if I could belicve 1 had hastened its advent by one day and saved the precious lives and limbs lost in twenty-four hours, I should feel myself to have won a prize worth all the titles that emperors shower on their favorites and ministers on their supporters. “That the negotiation of peace is a difficult task I admit. That the attair ment of an honorable and lasting s tlement is beyond the region of com- petent diplomacy I deny. That peace is desired by all belligerent nations T feel certain, and the fact that the cir- culation of The Economist touched its height during the last few weeks may serve to indicate the fecl- ing of our business men.” Hartley Withers, financial adviser to the treasury, succeeds Mr. Hirst as editor of The Economist. It is under- stood the proprietors of the paper dis- agreed with Mr. Hirst's editorial policy. FRENCH ADIMRE BRITISH FIGHTERS Sector North of Somme is Difficult Place in Which to Attack—Guns Brought Up. Paris, July 8.—The French are watching with admiration the fight- ing of the British troops in the sector north of the Somme river. The great natural and artificial difficulties with which they have to contend are real- ized and all agree that they are doing as much as humanly possible. French military opinion is that the German positions are so strong and so well furnished by lines of communi- cation that the British will be able accomplish little more until the / French guns are installed in- side tne French salient whence they can cnfilade the German positions opposite to the British. these guns of 305 and 400 millimetres are mounted on railroad trucks, time is required to lay the tracks for their movement which has to be done care- fully. The French are so solidly es- tablished that the work soon will be completed and it is asserted that these guns will not be long in making their { influence felt. 101 6. TARIFF WILL BE [SSUE AFTER WAR French Economists Argue Against Discrimination Toward Enemies (Correspondence Paris, vice recent of The Associated Press) June 12.—Mr. Asquith's ad- the B h delegates to the interparliamentary to economic conference to “be careful not through excitement or blindness, or with the desire to clinch a victory, to take measures that will do you more harm than the enemy,” well given, in the opinion of some French econom- ic writer: Before the first interparliamentary conference there were fea n French as well as in English circles what might be of unautheritative discussion by parliamentarians of in- ternational affair, and the results of the economic conference have not al- layed such fears. Max Hoschiller, Paris, a was| results in the Revue de says there is great danger that the hasty conceptions of these ferenc put into practice, would turn againt their authors, and that the only plan of economic reciprocity between the entente allies thus far de- veloped is of a nature to arouse ihe liveliest apprehensions; that it is even liable to bring about differences and provoke grave conflicts of interest be- tween the allies after the war. “Impossible” Says Hoschiller, M. Hoschiller declares “impossible application between the allies » the protectionism in proposed by the con- con- four ference, as follow: Reciprocal preferential tariffs be- tween the United Kingdom and its colonial possessions. Reciprocal and preferential tariffs, secondary to the foregoing, between the British empire and its allies. FFavorable treatment, but in the third order of preference, to meutrals. Prohibitive tariffs on products of countries now enemies of the entente powers. In thé first place, the preferential reciprocal tariffs proposed for the United Kingdom with its colonial pos- sessions put Great Britain in hostili- y with Russia and in ventual con- flict with her own colonies. The lat- ter, M. Hoschiller expects, will seek larger advantages from the excep- tional situation in which events have placed them as providers of raw ma- terfals in this industrial war. Canada to Prove Reluctant. Canada, which bought more than $426,000,000 worth of goods from the United States during the fiscal yvear 1914-15 and only $90,000,000 from Great Britain, notwithstanding pre- ferential duties of 33 1-3 per cent. would be reluctant to consent to an economic arrangement that would impede importations from the United States to the profit of the mother- country, and pay dearer for products which the latter would not perhaps be in posilon to furnish. Canada, at the same time, great competitor of Russia in the British market, its exportations of wheat to England having gone from twenty-one per cent. of the total in 1882 to fifty-four per cent. of the total in 1911, while Russia’s per cen- tage of British consumption remained stationary at about fifteen per cent. Discrimination against Russia would shut her out of the market altogether. Russia’s importations of wheat into Germany were 519,000 tons as against 318,000 from Canada. M. Boradalev- sky, pointing out the significance of these figures to the Pan-Russian agricultural congress, stated that un- less the entente allies facilitate the ex- portation of Russian proucts the em- pire would be forced after the war in- to an economic arrangement with Germany. Cannot Boycott Germany. rof. Migouline, president of an cconomic commission attached to the Russian ministry of finance, wrote recently that it would be impossile for Russia to boycott a country like Germany, which was before the war its best customer, unless the entente allies opened their markets more largely. He points out that Great bought in foreign markets 850,000,000 rubles in cereals and 740,000,000 rubles in limenta products, of which Russia's part was only 125 million rubles, insignifi- cant in comparison with Russia’s ex- is the Britain InW1913, s pointed (HIL by M. sase of Canada that her pres- al dependence on New York will eventually make it impos- sible for her to treat the United States otherwise than on the basis of a reciprocal tariff and that, in any case, the likelihood of an economic war such as would be involved in the interparliamentary conference’s pro- posed tariff is impossible between the two countri The interparliamentary commis- sion’s proposition of preferential tar- iffs between Great Britain and the colonies would, in the opinion of M. Hoschiller, it impossible for France to the arrangement England was France's hest customer before the war; she bought goods to the value of a billion and a half francs (principally silks, automobiles and provisions) of France in 1913 articles in which Germany could not compete. Consequently discrimina- tion by Great Britain against Ger- many is of no advantage to her, while discrimination by Great Britain in favor of her colonies would be a sub- intial disadvantage to her. Allies Must The sumptuary measures taken England to force economy among her people and thus case exchanze and freight, and the consequent menace to French silks and ribbons, is pointed out by M. Yves Guyot as showing the Hoschiller ent Go Slow. by irritating charagter ef these economic GOODRICH Trade-Mark HE ‘‘Age of Rubber’’ is in sight ! - Hard upon the ‘‘Age of Steel,’”” comes this new Epoch in World istory. As the Forests went down before the Woodman’s Axe, Steel rose up to take the place of Wood,—with a huge additional field of its own. As the Ranch, and open Cattle Ranges, yield to the Farm, so the Source of Supply for Leather recedes, while the population, which must wear Shoes, increases. Here steps in RUBBER,—with a fast-growing production, on Plantations, ready to replace Leather,—in the near future,—at a lower cost, for better service,—, plus a thousand uses of its own. hen Raw Rubber reaches that level of Cost which the huge expansion of Rubber Plantatlons predicates, a myriad uses will be added to those in which the present relatively limited supply is now consumed. Rubber is such an adaptable material that it is capable of not only sub- stituting the most important of Failing Materials, which (like Leather) are disas~ trously lessening in production but,—it already enters into scores of forms that touch the life of every person today. * . . T is the wide comprehension of Rubber FUTURES which makes the F. Goodrich Co. so CAREFUL that the Goodrich Trade-Mark, pic~ * tured at top of this column, shall never be placed on an unworthy Rubber-product. It is that Goodrich Trade-Mark which protects the Purchaser of Rubber-Goods,’ when he looks for it on ANY Rubber-Article, and recognizes it as the SIGNATURE and BOND of the 47-year-old Concern which here writes itself down as keenly alive to the importance of TOMORROW, in the Rubber field. It is the clear Vision of that great ‘‘Tomorrow’’ which prompts the B. F. Good~ rich Co. to (for instance) price its TIRES so far BELOW figures which thesQUALITY of these Tires could command when their PERFORMANCE is compared with that of other Tires listed at 156% to 50% higher prices. Will you,—from this,—understand that Goodrich Tires are PURPOSELY made the BEST Fabrlc Tires that the largest Rubber Factory in the World can pro- duce at ANY price ? Will you realize, from it, that When you pay more than the Goodrich Fair-List prices here quoted,—for ANY Fabric Tire,—you are NOT getting ‘‘BETTER’’ Tires 7 Will you assist in making that great ‘‘Tomorrow’’ of the ‘‘Rubber Age’” MORE relpful to all Humanity, by encouraging NOW the foir and MODERATE prices for Tires, and Rubber Goods, that Goodrich ‘‘sets the pace’” on today?
