San Francisca. ® and Fifty Persons Hurt BRAKES FAIL TO HOLD —— | Electric Coach Rushes Down a Steep Grade, Smashing Into One at the Bottom —_— BALTIMORE, May 26—Wiiliam Stem- ler was killed and half a hundred men and women were injured, several of them serfously, in a collision between two trol- ley cars returning to the city from West- port, a suburb of this city, early to-day. In the neighborhood of the terminus | of the Westport car line are several sum- mer resorts and the cars, which were the last that were to come to the city, were filled with belated pleasure-seekers. The last car but one had reached a point where the tracks cross those of the West- ern Maryland Rallroad’s new tidewater extension. The conductor had gone ahead, as is customary, to make sure that no railroad train was approaching. Before he could signal the motorman that the crossing was clear, the last car appeared at the top of a steep grade, at the bottom of which the Western Maryland tracks cross the raliroad. The rear car was running at full speed. The motorman, Sebastian Helldorfer, attempted to stop it, but the brakes failed to hold and the car rushed down the incline with constantly increasing speed. There was a crash that aroused the neighborhood and then shrieks that were heard in the city. The forward car was hurled clear across the railroad tracks and both it and the one that followed were badly wrecked. The lights were extinguished and those who remained in the cars fought with each other In their efforts to escape and in doing so trampled those who had been thrown to the ground by the collision. Stemler was found, horribly mangled, on the rear platform of the forward car, upon which he had been riding. His arm had been torn from his body. He was still alive, but died a few minutes after being taken from the wreck. The motorman was found in an unconscious condition on the front platform of his car. His escape from instant death is little short of miraculous. He was taken to a hospital and Is not expect- ed to live.

Word has been brought to Vladivostok from Okhotsk, Eastern Si- beria, that the fish supply of Sakhalin was exhausted last winter and that the in- habitants ate their dogs. There is no flour on the island, and the people are confronted with death by starvation. A similar ~ situation exists at Kamchatka, where the people are practically left to thelr fate. No work is going on in the Amur district, beggars are roaming about everywhere, and ‘the Orochans, a Siberian tribe, who live on the shores of the Guif of Tartar, are dying of starva- tion.

It is estimated that there are now over 2000 American-born actors, actresses, vaudeville perform- ers and chorus girls In Great Britain, and the number is getting larger every vear. In case of illness or poverty reliet wahtever from the British actors’ fund, which never has been a particu- larly flourishing institution, need of a special fund is urgent.

The recent production by the new Stage Club of the late Oscar Wilde's poetic tragedy, “Salome,” has served to call attention to the absurdities and in- consistencies of ‘the censorship over plays exercised by that autocratic func- tionary, the Lord Chamberlain. On the Continent “Salome” has long been ac- claimed a theatrical masterpiece. In this country the Lord, Chamberiain has refused to grant a license for the pub- lic performance of the play because It portrays two historical characters who happen to pe mentioned in the Bible, Salome and Herod. The new stage Club gets around his prohibition by resorting to the expedi- ent of selling tickets to people who by purchasing them become subscribers to the society. No money is taken at the door and, therefore, the law re- gards the performance as a private one, and private acts of desecration don’t count. Those ,who are acquainted with the work in its published form need not be told that there is nothing in the treatment of the Biblical characters that need shock the most sensitive of pious feelings. But because they do figure In the Bible the Lord Chamber- lain holds that they must not be pre- sented on the stage—so far as lies in his power to stop it. And yet he grants a license for “Everyman,” in which the Deity Himself is impersonated. NOVELS ON THE STAGE. Lucky is the author whose stories “dramatize” well, and in this respect ‘W. W. Jacobs seems especially favored. Of his “Lady of the Barge,” Jacobs and Louis N. Parker made a comedy which ran over 200 nights at the Haymarket last year and which will be presented in the United States ere long. “The Monkey's Paw,” in dramatic form, has scored in both London and Paris, and “The Ghost of Jerry Bundler” has been made into an effective one-act play. ‘With Parker's assistance, Jacobs is now adapting another of his novels and he has just granted permission to a French playwright, Jean Bernac, to make a stage version of his short story, “The Brown Man’s Servant,” for pro- duction at the Vaudeville, Paris. ~ | tributed his present popularity, the dra- matist replied: ‘To my merits.” that opinions may differ, but there is no doubt of the increasing interest in the prophet in his own, or rather his adopted country. Forbes Robertson is convinced of this and when he begins operations at the mew Scala Theater next month, he and then “The Man of Destiny.”” Mean- while, at the Court, “John Bull's Other Island” is now being played every even- ing and “You Never Can Tell” five aft ernoons a week. “Man and Super-man’ will be put on for a run, after which | “Candida’* will be revived for the sixth or | seventh ‘time. . YOUNG ROMEO AND JULIET. The Elizabethan Stage Society, age to give performances of Elizabethan brought its carer to a close with a novel rendering of ‘“Romeo and Juliet.”” It has often been #said that that is the most difficult of Shakespeare’s plays to act, the appeafance of cxtreme youth, and at the same time a command of dramatic art that comes only from experience, The Elizabethan Society tried the experiment of sacrificing art for youth, but theé re- .of the attempt. tor, Esme Percy, son and a girl actress, Miss Dorothy Min- to, enacted Capulet's daughter.

Berry, Tenth Infantry and recently quartermaster of the trans- port Sheridan, has been ordered under arrest by tbe Secretary of War. The or- der was received last night at Vancouver Barracks, where the Tenth is stationed, and is the result of charges preferred by Major Parke, Fourteenth Infantry. who was a passenger on the Sheridan in com- mané of the returning troops. Major Parke is credited with stating that Cap- tain Berry was detected in the act of entering the room of a wife of one of his fellow-officers. In his report of the af- fair Majoy Parke also enumerated sev- | eral minor charges, among them being drunkenness and general incompetency. Orders will probably be at once lssued for the cohvening of a board to try Cap- tain Berry. | A full demial of the purpert of the charges was made by Be when the | Sheridan arrived at Portidnd, April 24 and he attempted to make light of the | affair, but since the War Department has taken cognizance of them a court-mar- tial is certain. The officers of the Tenth Infantry at Vancouver Barracks confirmed the story last night that the charges against Cap- | tain Berry are the outcome of the Sheri- dan affair. It is further said that it was | the room of the wife of an artillery lieu- tenant that Berry invaded. When the Sheridan arrived in Portland ffom Manila strong efforts were made to keep the details of the affair secret, but without - avail. Both Major Parke and Captain Berry are supposed to be in San Francisco, but could not be located last night. The Sixteenth Infantry was expected last night and the First Squadron of the Seventh Cavalry this morning from Fort McPherson, Ga., en route to the Philippines on the Sheridan May 31. Colonel B. D.
