Regarding Death of Henry Flager's Widow Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 21.—This city has been excited by rumors for the last several days, to the effect that the body of Mrs, Robert W. Bingham, formerly Mrs. Henry Flagler, whose death occurred seven weeks ago In Louisville, Ky.,, and was burfed in Oakdale cemetery, this city, would be distinterred at the request of the family, and an autopsy performed to determine definitely the cause of her death. It is understood that the necessary permit has been granted by the county health department, of which Dr. Charles T. Nesbitt is superintend- ent. It is not known when the proposed exhumation of the body will take place, as no statement has been made by the only member of Mrs. Bingham’s family in the city at pres- ent. He has declined to say any- thing. Friends of the family in Wilming- ton assert that a protest that will be filed to the codicil of the will of Mrs. Bingham, in which she left Judge Bingham $5,000,000, is not based merely on the money invelved, but that the idea is to show up the cir- cumstances of the death of Mrs. Bing- ham, and set at rest for all time the humors concerning her death. All members of the family, it is said, were well taken care of under the terms of the will, and they have no desire to open the matter merely to obtain mony. P There is evidence in every quarter of efforts to keep the plans of the family from the public. The health department asserts that no record is kept of permits to disinter bodies, but that they are filed at the office of the cemetery, while the superin- tendent of the cemetry says that the permits, after being read by him, are returned to the health department to be filed for record. The superintendent of Oakdale cemetery says that he must be given at least 24 hours’ notice of the in- tention to disinter a body, and that, go far, he has reecived no notice. Guarded by day by the superintend- ent and his force and by night by two special officers, there is no chance of the grave of Mrs. Bingham being sntered by other than authorized per- sons. Instructions have been given that no one be allowed on the plot, under penalty of indictment of tres- pass. Fresh flowers are placed on the grave of Mrs. Bingham every day by a local florist upon instructions trom the family. r. R. ADDRESSES FOREIGN-BORY. Chicage, Sept, 21.—At his own sus- gestion Col.

THE DAYLIGHT STORE REVOLVING STAGE POST-WAR PRODUCT Lady Wyndham Predicts Continu- ons Performances in Theaters London, August 31, (Correspond- ence of the Assoclated Press).—The continuous play. presented perhaps on a revolving stage, will develop after the war, in the opinion of Lady Wynd- ham, wife of Sir Charles Wyndham, the British actor and theatrical man- ager. Before her marriage to Sir Charles, Lady Wyndham Miss Mary Moore, an actress and his part- of was ner in the management TLondon theaters. “The war,"” she declares, in an ar- ticle in the Pall Mall Gazette, “will probably supply motives for various plays long after peace has been re- the war which is ex- pressed in glimpses of battle, but the war as it shows itself in the hearts of men and women and influences their lives and their actions. “My belief is that after the war an entirely new style of play will he evolved, and it will then be consid- ered old-fashioned to drop the cur- ain and have an entr'acte. The practically continuous play will be due, if it comes into being, to various causes. There is, among other things, a tendency for people to go to revu and music-halls, where the curtains do not drop. “It is an indication of the restless- ness of the age, and it was noticeable before the war. If these people are to be attracted to the theater, they must have plays presented to them which do not contain a series of breaks. There may he rapid changes of scenes and costume. or there may be the same setting throughout the performance. “To have the same setting from be- ginning to end in a successful play would mean the need for greater art on the part of the players. As for the writer of plays of the kind which I foresee, he will find the work quite easy if he is a good craftsman. “One misfortune arising from a changed style of play will be the loss to the public of many fine examples of the plavwright's art which have won fame in the past. Tt may be that theaters will have tn he altered con- structionally. For instance, the stage of each theater may have to be of the revolving type, to enable the swift change of scene to he brought about as T suggest. Something of the sort exists at the Coliseum. “There is nothing more revolution several with misconduct, were each given six Imonths in jail. ary in the continuous play of the fy ture than there was in the past in the change from the five, six or seven- act play to the play of three acts— four at the outside—with which we have grown familiar. We must there- fore, look forward to the results of an evolutionary process rather than to those coming from revolution. ENTER STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS. Local Athletes to Compete in the A. A. U.

During the demonstration tendered the drafted men leaving this city yes- terday morning for Ayer, Mass., pick- pockets were active about the city, particularly at the depot, according to Detective Richardson. Stanley Sick reported to the detective that his packets had been “touched” and he is out $29 as the result. A stranger also informed Detective Richardson that an attempt was made to rob his exchequer, but he detected the thief in the act, but was unable to hold him for the ‘police. * McALOON GETS CONTRAOT.

WINE APLENTY BUT COST IS GREATER French Grape Crop 50 Per Cent. More Than Last Year Beziers, France, August 30.—Cor- respondence of The Associated Press) —Frenchmen are in no danger of go- ing thirsty this year, but they will pay dearly for thelr favorite beverage un- less the government can check specu- lation in wine. The yield of grapes wil be from 40 to 50 per cent. greater than that of last year; last year's crop was nearly fifty per cent. greater than that of 1815, yet wine costs twice as much as it did a year ago and three times as much as it did in 1914, Ordinary table wines then sold at the equiv- alent of 8 cents a quart for red and 10 cents for white, at retail. They bring twenty-five cents, respectively, today. Requisitions for the army, lack of distributing facilities, scarcity of wine casks, bottles, and wine tank cars, in- sufficiency of help, high cost of fer- tilizers and chemicals,- and the nat- ural economic effect of war are given here in the wine country as the rea- sons for the rise. Another reasom is the purchase of “wine on the vine" and successive transfers of the crop from one speculator to another, even before the grapes have ripened, the same system as adopted by specula- tors in coal importation licenses last winter. This abnormal dealing has made ordinary wines relatively dearer than the fine wines. Burgundies, clarets and good white wines, generally are abundant and have not increased ex- cessively in price. They are not so much subject to speculation and they escape requisitions, but they suffer quite as much as ordinary grades, even more in some cases, from the in- sufficient supply of bottles and casks. The minister of provisions proposes to either requisition the entire crop, annulling all speculative contracts, and supervise the distribution to the retail trade, or fixe a maximum selling price at which common wines may be sold to the consumer. The opinion of the wine country was thus expressed by a grower of the Gard: “They propose to limit the avail of the winegrowers' work, but no one has ever talked about keep- ing down the profits of the merchants who sell us sulphate of copper and sulphur,” said he. “The great dan- ger in these projects for limiting sel]- ing prices or requisitioning at arbi- trary figures is that winegrowers will simply abandon their vinevards; con- HARTFORD MEN'S SUITS AND OVERCOA MADE TO ORDER FOR $21.75 From September 22 to 29 only.
