Claims to Have Been Chlo- roformed, Bound and Gagged. Andrew Bennett, assistant engineer at the glass works at Fifteenth and Folsom streets, was found bound and gagged in his'room, 45 Stockton' street, by the pro- prietor, J. A. McMillon, shortly after 7 | o’clock Sunday night. He was stretched out on his bed with his hands and legs tied with a piece of cord and a hand- kerchief over his eyes and mouth. Mc- Millon at once notified Policeman Davids and Fennell, and when they reached the room they cut the cord that bound Ben- nett and removed the handkerchief from his eves and mouth. Bennett’s pockets were turned inside out and he said he had been robbed of $30 7. He told the officers a remarkdble story. He said he met his cousin, Charles Web- er, a peddler, whose home is on San An- tonio street, San Jose, at Market and Ellis streets, Sunday afternoon.

THEY MUST WATT ~ JEROME'S PLAY (STANFORD MAAKES FOR HAPPINESS| ~ ON AT ALCAZAR| FORMAL PROTEST “The Way to Win a|Charges. “Locomotive” Parents Refuse Consent to Young Lovers’ Marriage. Robert Ejnn and Miss Louise McQuesten Secretly Plight Troth, BERKELEY, Oct. 27.—The news has just become public of a romantic attach- ment recently resulting in an engage- ment between Robert, Finn, the ydung son of John Finn, the wealthy San Fran- | cisco iron manufacturer of 1301 Shattuck | avenue, and Miss Louise McQuesten, | daughter of John McQuesten, “‘father of | the Yukon,” who lives at 1651 Hopkins | street. Since the .groom-to-be is eigmeeni years of age only, his parents insist that | the marriage be postponed until he be- comes of age. _ The young people met at school some time ago and their attachment soon ripened into love, a secret engagement resulting. Their setret only became | known to their parents a short time ago, and although they recognize the young | peoples’ pact they will not consent to| their becoming united for three years, when the young man shall have at- tained his majority. Miss McQuesten was born in the wilds of Central Alaska before the days of the | gold rush, when her father was.a strug-| gling prospector. Her mother was a daughter of an Indian chief. In the first days of the gold craze on the Yukon McQuesten struck it rich and became one of the wealthiest citizens of Dawson City. | After making a fortune Miss McQues- | ten's father removed to Berkeley, where he has been residing since, during the | time that his children were gaining an education. THEATRICAL MANAGER IS SUED FOR DAMAGES Leonidas J. Scooffy Claims First Act | of “Liberty Belles” Is but an { Imitation. | Leonidas J. Scooffy filed a suit yesterday | in the United States court to restrain | Frank Hennessy, manager of the *Lib- erty Belles” company, now playing at the California Theater, from producing a por- tion of the play, which he claims is an | infringement on the play entitled ““Under | the Sphinx,” the copyright of which is now in his possession, having been made over to him October 23 last by Mrs. Edith ; Cook of this city, who is the writer and | who had the same copyrighted on April 17, 1897. . Scooffy claims that Harry Smith, com- poser of “Liberty Belles,” acquired knowl- edge of plot, plan and substance of “Un- der the Sphinx" after it had been copy- righted, and, against the will of Mrs. Cook, adapted the plot or series of events portrayeq in the first scene of “Under the Sphinx,” and that Smith’s composi- tion called “Liberty Belles” in the first act is but an imitation and reproduction of the plan, varying only in the words which are set to music. Both plays open with a scene of a room in a girls' senfl nary, with the girls preparing for a night’s jollification. = The circumstances which occur during the scene in each play are very similar. “Liberty Belles” has been playing for one year, and Scooffy asks that Hennessy | be made to account for and pay over ail gains and profits which may be the out- come of the year's production. Scooffy also asks that a restraining order be is- sued preventing further production of the lay. Pithe case will be tried before Judge Morrow next Monday morning. @ il the affair of Sunday evening was a finan- cial success as well as enjoyable. The society intends to give several more affairs this season, as well as the usual monthly afternoon entertainments, which | have been so successful as well as en- joyable. By reason of the greatly in- creased membership, it is now anticipat- ing moving to larger quarters in order to accommodate its members.

Bills That Win Applause Are Presented at Local Theaters. —_— “The Way to Win a Woman,” Tome K. Jerome, was presented at the Alcazar Theater last night for the first time in this city. The plot is the old story of a man betraying the trust re- posed in him by a dying friend, and is cleverly worked out. Harry Halward, a struggling young barrister, is in love with | Madge Caruthers, who tells him she can- not marry him because he is poor. receives a letter from his dying friend in Mexico, inclosing his will, which be- Queaths his fortune of a half-million dol- lars to him, his old chum, but the letter begs him to find his son, Archie Phil-| brick, and to keep the money in trust for the by, retaining $10,000 for his services. He destroys the letter, acquirés the for- tune and arrangements are made for his marriage to Madge, who with a woman’s perversity has an objection ta being bought. Halward's villainy is exposed by a photograph taken of his friend while writing the letter by Mr. Duve, who hap- peped to be passing the hut at the time, and who accidentally shows it to Hal- ward’s friends in England, who recognize, the likeness. Halward confesses his sin and is about to swallow poison when | Madge appears and declares her love for him, and they agree to go to a new land and start life afresh. Charles A. Mill- ward as Halward scored a success. In the scenes when remorse begins to clutch at his heartstrings he was conscientious and effective, and the final scene between him and Madge was full of pathos. Miss Suzanne Santje as Madge Caruthers was | erratic. She showéd flashes of brilllancy, and at other times appeared indifferent. In the final scene, when she avowed her lcve for Halward, she was splendid.

John- son, the freshman player against whom | Professor Angell informally registered a protest last week, did not appear upon the formal protest reeeived to-day.

The fourteenth week of .the grand opera season opened last night with Donizetti’'s romantic opera Chamounix,” the old favorites, Collamar- ini, Russo and Dado, being in the cast. The opera was well sung and admirably | Sigmorina Tina de Spada sang| Linda, a role which gave her free scope acted. for a voice of great range and flexibility and ample room for a display of her tai- ent as an actress. It was distinctly a triumph for her, both, for her singing and her acting, several rousing encores being glven at the close of the second act, af-! ter her duet with Antonio (Sig. Michele de Padova) and after the mad scene. She proved last night beyond a doubt that there is good operatic stuff in her. Collamarini is as good as ever. She was in fine voice last night and) on the few prominent occasions on which she was allowed to use it, she delighted the aud- ience with its purity, depth and richness. The role of Plerotto is but a secondary one at best, but the popular contralto caf- ried it out as conscienuousl{ as though it were the leading one. As Antonio, Michele de Padova dis- played considerable dramatic force, and never sang in better style. Almost every time he retired into the wings he was re- called by an encore. Dado, the great, was in his usually perfect condition, and the rotund notes rolled from him as melodfously as peals from a church or- gan. His part, Il Prefetto, was a small one, but big enough to enable him to give the people a taste of his quality. Russo had the not very prominent role of the Viscount and was ferociously encored every time he ceased to warble. De Paoli exhibited good buffo power as the Mar- quis and was in capital voice. Linda will be repeated on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings and .La Boheme will come between on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings and Sat- urday matinee, Columbia. *‘King Dodo” brought a full house to the Columbia last evening. The fun and abundant songs took as well as in the opening week and the dances and march- | ing were no less popular. Throughout the three acts applause broke in to re- ward the leading people. liss had to supply exira verses to ‘“Look in the Book and See.” Hitchcock was funny as Dodo. Wooley made what there is out of the court physician role and the women in the cast, Greta Risley, Mar- garet McKinney, Cheridah Simpson and Flora Zabelle were picturesque and vi- vacious. This is the last week of “King Dodo.” Next Monday evening *Floro- dora” will open at the Columbia. The management promises that it will be given in its completeness with every fea- ture as before, with a large cast, chorus and double sextet of pretty maid- ens. Seats for ‘“Florodora” will be on sale Thursday next. California. “The Liberty Belles,” with all its pretty girls, catchy music and gay abandon, is having a splendid run at the California. The theater was crowded last night ;ang merriment ran riot. This attractive mus- ical comedy is all life and action from start to finish. It is now in its second week and seems to lose none of its earlier popularity. There is a touch of original- ity in some of the prominent features: that is really refreshing. The audience last night could not get ®nough of the military drill and the “summer time” song. The dormitory scene with its pink pajama girl, lisping blond, stuttering beauty and the serenade, contains enough fun for the whole show. Everyone back of the footlights seems to know just what ought to be done gnd how to do it. Most of the songs. are new. Altogether the comedy fs one of the best of its kind seen in San Francisco for many a day. “Next Sunday night “The Liberty Belles” will be replaced by Joseph Arthur's great spectacular play “Lost River.” The lat- tyer )Eroducflon had a great run in New ork. Grand Opera-House. “The School for Scandal,” with Marie Wainwright as Lady Teazle, is the pres- ent week’s bill at the Grand Opera-house and a large audience was highly pleased with the performance last night.

All the ladies of the company had their lines cast in pleasant places and gave splendid suppor: to the weil- balanced efforts of M:ss. Wainwright. Miss Lillian Albertson made a charming | Maria and a sweet picture in the quaint | English“gowns of ‘‘ye olden times.” Ella McGregor as Mrs. Candour was capital in her narrations of scandalous episodes and Blanche Stoddard as Lady Sueerwell was all that could be desired. The mas- culine parts were entrusted to Herschel | land as Joseph Surface, H. D. Byers as Sir Peter Teazle, Fred J. Butler as Sir Oliver Surface and others, all of whom acquitted themselves admirably. Central. “The Great Metropolis,” a melodrama of sustained interest, which does not out- rage probability and abounds in exciting | scenes and thrilling imaxes, was ap- plaugded to the echo last night at the Cen- | tral by an immense audience. The pro- duction is on a magnificent scale, the scenery being new throughout and very Deautiful. It alone is worth double the admission charged. Among the which attracted general admiration | should be particularly mentioned the ex- terior of the lighthouse at Sandy Hook and the life-saving station. The sea beach with the wreck of the Flying Fish life-saving crew was the sensation of the evening, and excited the audience to such a pitch of enthusiasm that the curtain had to be raised on it nine times. The cast was an excellent one. Eugenie Thais Lawton made a charming Nell Carr and | the splendid acting of George Webster as | Jack Holt was most flatteringly recog- nized by the audience. The other char- acters were admirably played by Georgie Cooper, Agnes Rankin, Margaret Mar- | shall, “Anita Fallon, Florence Chapman, Stella Razetto, Thomas Keirns, Ernest Howell, Henry Shumer, BEdwin Emery, George Nicholls and others.

They, the *Athos family, Weston and Allen and Klein, Ott Brothers and Nickerson are hold-overs from last week. The new people, Evelyn Ormsby, the so- prano; Carver and Pollard, eccentric comediennes, and Rapoli, the Swiss jug- gler, are all very clever and the new blograph pictures are interesting. Chutes. Mabel Martin, a sweet singer of Scotch songs, made a great hit at the Chutes yesterday at both performances, as did also little Madge Woodson, a talented young Australian specialty performer. comedians, proved very entertaining and cal act. Josephine Gassman with her pickaninnies continues a prime favorite and the moving pictures shown by the animatoscope are amusing and interest- ing. The life-saving incubators, which are raising three tiny babies, are objects of great interest. Many novelties are promiised for Thursday, amateur night. . Late Shipping Intelligence. : SAILED.

New Conditions Promise to Revolutionize Domains Across Paciflc. SEATTLE, Wagh., Oct. 21.—With the signing of the Anglo-Japanese treaty a new condition was born in the Orient, re- leasing China, Siam and Korea from the bonds which Russia was annually pulling tighter. According to the statement of Sago Matsumoto, publisher of the Ise Journal at Tsu, Japan, and also the pub- | lisher &f several Japanese magazines, thase four countries, now the only inde- pendent ones in Asia, are leaning one on the other, and the commercial and po- litical conditions are vastly improved. apan is the recognized head of the pro- gressive movement in the Orient, which if allowed under the new conditions to continue, he says, will revolutionize the vast domains beyond the Pacific. He said: Thére has bffen a great change in Japan I'since the signing of the Anglo-Japanese treaty. | Prior to that time we were always on a wal footing. We were always expecting and ready to fight to retain what belonged to us. Now we are no longer menaced by the Russians and, we have ceace. Japan has advanced until at the present time it is the educational factor in the Orient. China has also undergone a great change since the signing of the treaty. The Empruss Dowager has changed. Japanese officers, civil and military, are being hired by the Chinese. Two days before 1 sailed the president of the Peking Collere came to Japan to study our educational system and our schools. Prior to the signing of the Anglo-Japanese treaty China was also threatened by Russia. Russia had announced her intentions as to Manchuria and China, in her enfeebled condi- tion, did not know where to turn. However, now' that the United States, England and Japan are allied for the purpose-of preserving the in- tegrity of the independent powers of Asia, is to-day. China is like a baby. a parent to teach it to walk, and Japan is | proud to be the father that has been chosen. The Korean Government has adopted the same progressive policy as China and is looking to Japan for assistance, which is being given. Siam is leaning toward Japan for the same support. France, it has been claimed, has | always had designs on Stam, and that little country has been drained in trying to keep up | an army to save its integrity. | quadruple alliance has been formed there is no fear of Russia or France in Asia, and there- fore from this time on there will be a very material advancement. | RESULTS OF THE RACES ON THE EASTERN TRACKS Glenwater Defeats Andy Williams and Carbuncle and Wins the Agqueduct Handicap.
