Greene, the copper mine operator, died to-day or arute pneumonia at his home at Cananea, ileiioo, sixty miles south of Kaoo. He was injured a few days ago in a r ;ra«-ay, suffering several broken ribs. Physicians and nurses reached Kaoo li«t night from El Paso by special train isd vent on to Cananea by automobile. " Si* k*re Fin**' the scene of serious rioting by striking Mexican miners. Arizona rangers, at the invitation of the Governor of Sonora. crossed the border and put down the rioting. Several times in the last few years reports have reached New York of Col. Greene's failing health, attributed by his friends to the waning of his fortunes. TWO Hit WADES OF NATIONAL GVAim ASSEMBLE. *-' EDWARD MUBPB V. JR.. BVRIED. William Cornell Greene, colonel by virtue of having organized and led volun- *er forces against the Apache Indians back in the early '8QB. was one of the most spectacular operators in the history of the copper industry in this country, lie abo was known in Wall Street as one of the most careless of speculators. At one time his mines were among the world's largest producers. Then with the panic of IS"" his properties were taken from tim and he retired to his Mexican ranch. Col. Greene was born in Westchester oounty. just north of the present New York city line, in 1851. Although his family was fairly well to do he left home vhen he was 1? years old and started West in search of a more active life. From then until his retirement his life was one of ceaseless adventure. His first work in the West was as a Government contractor in Colorado and Kansas. Then he went into ranching in the San Pedro Valley, drifted to Ari- zona, did a little prospecting and in 1890 had got together enough money to buy 4 ranch of his own. It was in these days that he was known as Bronco Bill. The small ranch prospered, and taking advantage of the Mexican law allowing [respecting on lands already granted for pasturage Col. Greene went over into the State of Sonora and located eight mines on a big tract of land which had been purchased for grazing purposes by a syndicate of Californians headed by United States Senator George C. Per- kins. That was in 1880. He put in his claims for the property and the Perkins syndicate sold out for a nominal sum rather than fight condemnation pro- ceedings. It was not until Col. Greene had bought the property that Senator Perkins had an investigation made and gave it as his opinion that his syndicate had lost one of the richest copper prop- erties in the world. Col. Greene organized and became president of the Greene Consolidated Company, the Greene Gold and Silver Mining Company, the Greene Cattle Com- pany, the Turkey Tract Cattle Company and had a hand in other corporations. These corporations he organized with. Eastern capital, and to get the money to Boat them was the purpose of his first entrance into Wall Street. The S6.000.000 original stock of the Greene Consolidated Company was offered to the public through newspaper advertisements in $10 fhares. The stock was sold and within two years the Cananea mine was a big producer. Capitalists who had been scep- tical of Greene's claims' took him up and were glad to aid him for a consideration. One of .the men to whom he appealed was Thomas W. Lawson, who had just floated the big Montana company. Law- eon, on behalf, of a syndicate which in- cluded H. H. Rogers, agreed to supply development funds up to $1.000.000 in return for an option on the control of the Cananea property at.onerthird the face value of the stock. One hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars was furnished ia accordance with the agreement, and then a further draft of Greene's was not honored and Lawson threatened suit on the three months note on which the money had been borrowed-. Greene got the money and.saved his property, and not long afterward the Cananea property had an estimated value of $35,000,000. In 1003 CoL Greene headed a syndicate of four men which bought a tract of 7500,000 acres in Sonora for a ranch which should be the largest in the world. It was his plan to put 60.000 head of cattle on the ranch. In Wall Street he became the associate of John W. Gates, James A. Drake and other well known specu- lators and for a time outdid them all in the lavishness of his expenditures. Much of the money he spent was said to have gone for worthless properties and for losing stock speculations. For all his astuteness a s a T"' nt "g man and a ranch- nun in Wall Street he was'known as an 'angel.* pure and simple". » The height of his glory was reached in 1003 when his companies had a capitali- tation of nearly Il00.000.000, of which Greene owned more than half. In the fall of that year the Gates-Bawley group began a systematic attack on the Greene ' securities, and the consolidated company's dock dropped from 532 to $10 a share. These was a war of experts over the value of the property, in which Greene won out, and the price returned to $35 a share on the strength of new findings of some SlOO . OOO . OOO worth of copper in the mine. In April. 1004, as Greene was leaving tie Anson ia, where he lived, James W. Goodman, a mining man who said that he had lost $500,000 through the manipula- tion cf the Greene stocks, pushed an automatic pistol against him and said he was going to kill him. Greene told the man such an action would be "foolish" -*"i argued him out of the idea. In the «int«r of the same year Greene was carrying a pistol of his own and making finally idle threats against the life or Ihoatt«|W. Lawson. The row between the two men. begun *ith the matter of the advances for the Cananea mine, was increased in biiter- r«ss hy lAwson's magazine articles on 'Frtnzied Finance." Greene took up U w - «w's weapon, newspaper advertising. «d or.

The Slnale Tax Colony Winds Up a Busy ^ Week—Sinclair on Prisons. WitMTNQTOK, Aug. 6.—After its dessen- sions of the last few days, in which George Brown, the anarchist, was sent to the workhouse for five days for disorderly conduct because he held out for free speech, and Upton Sinclair, the author, and the baseball team were sent to the workhouse for eighteen hours for play- ing Sunday games, Arden, the single tax colony,-to-night celebrated the advent of peace with a society circus. Brown occupied a set in the front row and applauded every act. Sinclair also was in the audience, but he was not al- lowed to remain long when a clown at- tired in policeman's uniform rushed in from ths ring, seized him and marched him from the tent. Returning, the clown announced that "Uppie has been sent up again for eighteen hours.* This made a big hit. There was a parade through the village this afternoon with cages of "animals" under the marshalship of W. Worthington, Jr., and it made a big hit. There was even a steam calliope. It was a piano enclosed in a wagon, with real smoke issuing from a section of stovepipe in the. rear. In the parade the bareback riders were in charge cf Miss Van Vlakenberg. The band of Igorrotee was led by Prof. Harry Hetzel. Miss Hilda Clark was the enakc charmer and the boll fight was in charge of Frank Stephens, the founder of Arden. Mrs. E. Bean essayed the role of Annie Oakley, and the menagerie was in charge of Jack P.cardon. The Lilipu- tians were in charge of Miss A. Server, who also told fortunes. George McKen- TAO w'as a whirlwind dancer and the clowns were in charge of Prof. J. H. Jarred of Philadelphia. Other star performers were Don Stephens and Fred Windle. There were sideshows galore, with the usual attractions, and altogether it was a big nirht for Arden. Sinclair sent a letter to-day to J. Frank Ball, secretary of the workhouse trustees. in which he declares his intention of starting an agitation looking to an im- provement in conditions at the penal in- stitution. * The Socialist protests against the silence system, which prohibits one pris- oner talkingfto another.and he also makes a plea for better ventilation. - He declares that the lack of an exercise yard is re- sponsible for a great deal of the tubercu- losis among the long term prisoners, who ! spend the day working in the workshops ' and who never get any exercise. He de- clares that the matter of food is a seri- ous one and that the prisoners should get more vegetables and fruit. It is his opinion that a large proportion of the prisoners are suffering with a more or less severe form of scurvy because of the quality of the food served them. SURPRISE TO NATHAN STRAUS. Farewell nsnnuct at Hotel Kaateraklll - i-ovlnp; <»p Presented. HOTK.i. KSATBRSKIU., Aug. 5.-On the eve of his departure for Europe on a mis- sion of philanthropy for President Taft, a surprise ferewell banquet at the Kaater- skill Hotel was tendered to Nathan Straus to-night and ahandeome silver lovingcup. in which each of the 600 guests had some part, was given him. The presentation wis made by Moe H. Grossman, who paid a tribute to Mr. Straus's service to his race and his work in saving the lives of thou* sands of children. At the sneakers' table, which was deco- rated in greens under A bower of flags, were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Straus. Nathan Straus, Jr.. tho Rev. M Mi son C. Peters. Mr. and Mr?. Julius Rosenthal. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Einsheimcr, Mr. and Mrs. Moe Grossman. Mr. and Mrs. William Splegcl- berg. Isaac Frank and Mrs. toon Spiegel- berg. *Ono of the features of the occasion was a parkd* of fifty children with dolls, who escorted Mr. Straus to his seat. the companies from Newburgh. com manded by Capt. James P. Sheehan andj John D. Rose, who incidentally is also a I member of the State Senate, represent-! ing Orange county, detrained. Follow- ing each other in rapid succession through- out the day came militia organizations from every section of the State outside Greater New York, the last detachment arriving late this afternoon, when the companies from Middletown, Walton, Oneonta and Binghamton reached here. The regiments in camp are the First, Second, Third. Tenth and Seventy-fourth. comprising guardsmen from Yorikers and Flushing on the east to Buffalo on the west, Malone on the north and Bingham- ton on the south. *> A sizzling temperature prevailed until noon, when a cloudburst struck the camp and took the crisp out of the Urlca com- panies as they detrained. ^Another storm swept the camp late in the afternoon be- fore the Middletown, Binghamton, Wal- ton and Oneonta troops could get under canvas, and besides warping their uni- forms and soaking the men the rain played havoc with a considerable quantity of their provisions and curtailed their sup- per. The programme of manoeuvres this year will differ quite materially from that of previous years. Heretofore Pine Camp has been occupied by troops for a month, and it was necessary to divide the time into three periods of ten days each. During each of these periods the militia regiments at the camp were changed. This year the 4.000 troops here will remain the entire nine days, and at the conclusion of that period the camp will be closed for the year. The first four or five days of the present tour will be spent in regimental and battalion formation and drills and small tactical problems * will be worked out by small detachments of troops. During the last five days the big united manoeuvres will be held, in which every man in the camp will be engaged and which will be witnessed by Gov. Dix. It is reported that Gov. Dix will set a precedent for New York State Executives by appearing on the field with a complete military uniform and equipment. - The Troupe Bed is sold exclusively by THOMAS MANUFACTURING CO. 40 West 34th St., Bet. 5th and 6th Avs., New York.

LIEBLER THEATRE PLANS. George C. Tyler. Back From Europe. rtrlngs News *»r Tliem. George C. Tyler, managing director of Liebler A Co., who arrived yesterday by the French liner La PtnvKicg, s»id Paris players were applauding the scheme of Mme. Simon, who is coming here to give in English three French successes, "The Thief." "The Whirlwind," by Henri Bernstein, and Louis N. Parker's adapta- tion of Rostand's "Lady of Dreams." Mme. Simon created the part of the Hen Pheasant in "Chantecler." All the artists of the French stage, Mr. Tyler said, were sitting up nights learning English preparatory to the Gallic invasion of America that Mme. Simon and her cempany will lead when the Provence comes here again early in September. With her will come her husband. Claude CassimirPerier. a chauf- feur, and one English and one French maid. She will bring also a stack of trunks filled with gowns, every one of which is some sort of a combination of white, gray and green, the only colors the actress will wear. The Irish Players, from tho Abbey Theatre, Dublin, have been selected to dedicate Liebler A Co.'s new Plymouth Theatre in Boston next month. Mr. Tyler said of them: "Without exaggera- tion they give us the last word in ensemble acting. I never have heard anything in tho English Ianguase that equals their collective work." On their American tour they will give plays by Bernard Shaw. William Butlor Yeats, Lady Greg- ory and the late J. If. Synge. Mr. Tyler said that Margaret Anglin, A man who likes Hungarian goulash well enough to go hunting for the real kind found a place on lower Second avenue where it ceased to be 6tew and became gulyas. The service was poor but the dish was good and he went back not once but many times, each time wondering how an establishment so poorly run could make money. . . Gradually he noticed that other regular patrons—and most of them were regulars —were far better served than he, but it was not until he spoke to a friend, the leader of a Hungarian orchestra, that he learned the reason. On the next visit the musician accompanied him and the atmosphere of the place at once became friendly. "They were afraid that you were the other sort of Bohemian; the kind that goes in quotation marks," explained the leader when the coffee was served. "This is not the only place around here that lives in fear or being discovered by the uptown crowd, and they were trying to discourage your visits. It will be all right after this. I have explained to the waiter that you will keep the place to yourself and not bring a horde of sight- seers to drive away the regular and more steadily profitable patronage." m A temperance lecture of an extraor- dinary kind is now delivered daily to residents_pf the upper West Side by a conscientious expressman, who distrib- utes cards soliciting his new neighbors' patronage with this one exception printed at the top of his cards: "Positively no liquors hauled:" It was said of the late Edwin A. Abbey that his nearsightedness had much to do with his close attention to detail, one of the characteristics of his art. An illus- trator who does work in black and white, speaking the other day of Mr. Abbey's conscientious drawing in of details, won- dered how much ocular defects accounted {for certain aptitudes of well known ar- tists. 'A cynical person told me the other day," he said, "that he half believed every impressioniHtic painter was nearsighted and drew what he saw with his glasses oil. It sounds sensible.

I lay that to color blindness." He had just come in from a week end visit in tho country. "Greatest place I ever saw," he de- clared. "And nothing to worry me." He produced a card from his pocket. "Read this," he said. On the card was: "Please give nothing to the servants. They do not expect money from guests in this house. This is your hostess's wish." "I know my hostess well enough to ask her how she managed with tho servants." he proceeded, "for I had learned from experience elsewhere how much they ex- pect from week end visitors.

John,. 11 years old. and James. 10, and several neighbors' children were With him. Mr. Conroy. himself an expert swimmer, had often told his boys that they must not go swimming unless he went with then}. Every pleasant Saturday after- noon through the summer he came home from work early to take the boys to the beach at Barretto Point at the foot of Tiffany street. Several of the neighbors were glad to have their boys join the party and there were generally ten or a dozen altogether. As soon as Mr. Conroy got off the street car yesterday be was met by John and James. "Take us for a swim, pop," they de- manded. "Sure," said their father, "but first we'll go home and take this box of candy to mother and the girls." The Conroys have four other children, all girls and all younger than the boys. They went home and left the candy, and while Mr. Conroy was exDlaining that little girls didn't go swimming John and James spread the news through the neighborhood that their father was goin^ to the beach. There were ten in the party when they started through 148th street toward the East River. The younger boys put on their water wings and after they had received their customary lesson in swimming they called for (he grand finale. "Show us the dead man trick, pop," called John. , Conroy swam out into deep water and dived. It delighted the boys to have him disappear from view for a few seconds and appear to be in trouble when he rose again. He came up from the dire thrashing about much the same as usual, but instead of turning a smiling face toward them before going under again he called loudly for help. The hoys wero : dazed. The yell was not part of the trick and it sounded genuine. Conroy came up again and called out for help. Henry Hordes, it years old, who lives in the same house with the Conroys. the only one of the boys who could swim, started for the sinking man with faltering strokes. Before he could reach him a steamer passed and the swell threw him back to the shore and also cast Conroy'a body almost at the feet of his younger son. Tho boys rugged tho man ashore and tried their best to recollect thefirstaid treatment they had been taught at school.

the scene of serious rioting by striking Mexican miners. Arizona rangers, at the invitation of the Governor of Sonora. crossed the border and put down the rioting.

Several times in the last few years reports have reached New York of Col. Greene's failing health, attributed by his friends to the waning of his fortunes.

TWO Hit WADES OF NATIONAL GVAim ASSEMBLE. *-'

EDWARD MUBPB V. JR.. BVRIED.

William Cornell Greene, colonel by virtue of having organized and led volun-*er forces against the Apache Indians back in the early '8QB. was one of the most spectacular operators in the history of the copper industry in this country, lie abo was known in Wall Street as one of the most careless of speculators. At one time his mines were among the world's largest producers. Then with the panic of IS"" his properties were taken from tim and he retired to his Mexican ranch.

Col. Greene was born in Westchester oounty. just north of the present New York city line, in 1851. Although his family was fairly well to do he left home vhen he was 1? years old and started West in search of a more active life. From then until his retirement his life was one of ceaseless adventure.

His first work in the West was as a Government contractor in Colorado and Kansas. Then he went into ranching in the San Pedro Valley, drifted to Ari­zona, did a little prospecting and in 1890 had got together enough money to buy 4 ranch of his own. It was in these days that he was known as Bronco Bill.

The small ranch prospered, and taking advantage of the Mexican law allowing [respecting on lands already granted for pasturage Col. Greene went over into the State of Sonora and located eight mines on a big tract of land which had been purchased for grazing purposes by a syndicate of Calif ornians headed by United States Senator George C. Per­kins. That was in 1880. He put in his claims for the property and the Perkins syndicate sold out for a nominal sum rather than fight condemnation pro­ceedings. It was not until Col. Greene had bought the property that Senator Perkins had an investigation made and gave it as his opinion that his syndicate had lost one of the richest copper prop­erties in the world.

Col. Greene organized and became president of the Greene Consolidated Company, the Greene Gold and Silver Mining Company, the Greene Cattle Com­pany, the Turkey Tract Cattle Company and had a hand in other corporations.

These corporations he organized with. Eastern capital, and to get the money to Boat them was the purpose of his first entrance into Wall Street. The S6.000.000 original stock of the Greene Consolidated Company was offered to the public through newspaper advertisements in $10 fhares. The stock was sold and within two years the Cananea mine was a big producer. Capitalists who had been scep­tical of Greene's claims' took him up and were glad to aid him for a consideration.

One of .the men to whom he appealed was Thomas W. Lawson, who had just floated the big Montana company. Law-eon, on behalf, of a syndicate which in­cluded H. H. Rogers, agreed to supply development funds up to $1.000.000 in return for an option on the control of the Cananea property at.onerthird the face value of the stock. One hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars was furnished ia accordance with the agreement, and then a further draft of Greene's was not honored and Lawson threatened suit on the three months note on which the money had been borrowed-. Greene got the money and.saved his property, and not long afterward the Cananea property had an estimated value of $35,000,000.

In 1003 CoL Greene headed a syndicate of four men which bought a tract of 7500,000 acres in Sonora for a ranch which should be the largest in the world. It was his plan to put 60.000 head of cattle on the ranch. In Wall Street he became the associate of John W. Gates, James A. Drake and other well known specu­lators and for a time outdid them all in the lavishness of his expenditures. Much of the money he spent was said to have gone for worthless properties and for losing stock speculations. For all his astuteness as a T"'nt"g man and a ranch-nun in Wall Street he was'known as an 'angel.* pure and simple". »

The height of his glory was reached in 1003 when his companies had a capitali-tation of nearly Il00.000.000, of which Greene owned more than half. In the fall of that year the Gates-Bawley group began a systematic attack on the Greene

' securities, and the consolidated company's dock dropped from 532 to $10 a share. These was a war of experts over the value of the property, in which Greene won out, and the price returned to $35 a share on the strength of new findings of some SlOO.OOO.OOO worth of copper in the mine.

In April. 1004, as Greene was leaving tie Anson ia, where he lived, James W. Goodman, a mining man who said that he had lost $500,000 through the manipula­tion cf the Greene stocks, pushed an automatic pistol against him and said he was going to kill him. Greene told the man such an action would be "foolish" -*"i argued him out of the idea. In the «int«r of the same year Greene was carrying a pistol of his own and making finally idle threats against the life or Ihoatt«|W. Lawson.

The row between the two men. begun *ith the matter of the advances for the Cananea mine, was increased in biiter-r«ss hy lAwson's magazine articles on 'Frtnzied Finance." Greene took up U w -«w's weapon, newspaper advertising. «d or. December 13 Inserted a half page Hvenisfrment in New York newspapers cubing Lawson *a liar, a faker and a <S>»rhtin" and declaring that he would «'l up,n Lawson for his "answer" the 'blowing day. '

Gi>cr:<? did not go to Boston, however, g»H the MUi. Police Commissioner j*cAdoo said later that Greene had ob-|»;v-d a permit to carry a revolver be-''•''* he made the trip. Greene had lost *'-̂ in a few days in the fall of his copper **riW .in amount guessed at as $1,000,000. u*l be attributed it to lawson.

PIKE CAMP, N. li., Aug. 5.-Approxi-mately 4,000 oB'cere and enlisted men of the New York State Militia, comprising the Third and Fourth brigades and con­stituting the biggest assemblage of New York troops for manoeuvres and in­struction purposes since the Spanish-American Mar. in 1889. are under canvas here to-night, and during ths next eight days will participate in military exercises calculated to improve their soldierly efficiency. It is strictly a New York National Guard camp, no regulars being in attendance beyond a number of officers of the Regular army detailed here to aid in instructing the civilian soldiers in the fine points of the war art.

The camp proper was opened yesterday when the first field hospital and first ambulance company came up from New York city and looked after the sanitary arrangements. Major-Gen.

ARDKN HAS A SOCIETY CIRCUS.

The Slnale Tax Colony Winds Up a Busy ^ Week—Sinclair on Prisons.

WitMTNQTOK, Aug. 6.—After its dessen-sions of the last few days, in which George Brown, the anarchist, was sent to the workhouse for five days for disorderly conduct because he held out for free speech, and Upton Sinclair, the author, and the baseball team were sent to the workhouse for eighteen hours for play­ing Sunday games, Arden, the single tax colony,-to-night celebrated the advent of peace with a society circus.

Brown occupied a set in the front row and applauded every act. Sinclair also was in the audience, but he was not al­lowed to remain long when a clown at­tired in policeman's uniform rushed in from ths ring, seized him and marched him from the tent. Returning, the clown announced that "Uppie has been sent up again for eighteen hours.* This made a big hit.

There was a parade through the village this afternoon with cages of "animals" under the marshalship of W. Worthington, Jr., and it made a big hit. There was even a steam calliope. It was a piano enclosed in a wagon, with real smoke issuing from a section of stovepipe in the. rear. In the parade the bareback riders were in charge cf Miss Van Vlakenberg. The band of Igorrotee was led by Prof. Harry Hetzel. Miss Hilda Clark was the enakc charmer and the boll fight was in charge of Frank Stephens, the founder of Arden. Mrs. E. Bean essayed the role of Annie Oakley, and the menagerie was in charge of Jack P.cardon. The Lilipu-tians were in charge of Miss A. Server, who also told fortunes. George McKen-TAO w'as a whirlwind dancer and the clowns were in charge of Prof. J. H. Jarred of Philadelphia. Other star performers were Don Stephens and Fred Windle. There were sideshows galore, with the usual attractions, and altogether it was a big nirht for Arden.

Sinclair sent a letter to-day to J. Frank Ball, secretary of the workhouse trustees. in which he declares his intention of starting an agitation looking to an im­provement in conditions at the penal in­stitution. *

The Socialist protests against the silence system, which prohibits one pris­oner talkingfto another.and he also makes a plea for better ventilation. - He declares that the lack of an exercise yard is re­sponsible for a great deal of the tubercu­losis among the long term prisoners, who ! spend the day working in the workshops ' and who never get any exercise. He de­clares that the matter of food is a seri­ous one and that the prisoners should get more vegetables and fruit. It is his opinion that a large proportion of the prisoners are suffering with a more or less severe form of scurvy because of the quality of the food served them.

SURPRISE TO NATHAN STRAUS.

Farewell nsnnuct at Hotel Kaateraklll - i-ovlnp; <»p Presented.

HOTK.i. KSATBRSKIU., Aug. 5.-On the eve of his departure for Europe on a mis­sion of philanthropy for President Taft, a surprise ferewell banquet at the Kaater-skill Hotel was tendered to Nathan Straus to-night and ahandeome silver lovingcup. in which each of the 600 guests had some part, was given him. The presentation wis made by Moe H. Grossman, who paid a tribute to Mr. Straus's service to his race and his work in saving the lives of thou* sands of children.

At the sneakers' table, which was deco­rated in greens under A bower of flags, were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Straus. Nathan Straus, Jr.. tho Rev. M Mi son C. Peters. Mr. and Mr?. Julius Rosenthal. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Einsheimcr, Mr. and Mrs. Moe Grossman. Mr. and Mrs. William Splegcl-berg. Isaac Frank and Mrs. toon Spiegel-berg. *Ono of the features of the occasion was a parkd* of fifty children with dolls, who escorted Mr. Straus to his seat.

the companies from Newburgh. com manded by Capt. James P. Sheehan andj John D. Rose, who incidentally is also a I member of the State Senate, represent-! ing Orange county, detrained. Follow­ing each other in rapid succession through­out the day came militia organizations from every section of the State outside Greater New York, the last detachment arriving late this afternoon, when the companies from Middletown, Walton, Oneonta and Binghamton reached here.

The regiments in camp are the First, Second, Third. Tenth and Seventy-fourth. comprising guardsmen from Yorikers and Flushing on the east to Buffalo on the west, Malone on the north and Bingham­ton on the south. *>

A sizzling temperature prevailed until noon, when a cloudburst struck the camp and took the crisp out of the Urlca com­panies as they detrained. ^Another storm swept the camp late in the afternoon be­fore the Middletown, Binghamton, Wal-ton and Oneonta troops could get under canvas, and besides warping their uni­forms and soaking the men the rain played havoc with a considerable quantity of their provisions and curtailed their sup­per.

The programme of manoeuvres this year will differ quite materially from that of previous years. Heretofore Pine Camp has been occupied by troops for a month, and it was necessary to divide the time into three periods of ten days each. During each of these periods the militia regiments at the camp were changed. This year the 4.000 troops here will remain the entire nine days, and at the conclusion of that period the camp will be closed for the year. The first four or five days of the present tour will be spent in regimental and battalion formation and drills and small tactical problems * will be worked out by small detachments of troops.

During the last five days the big united manoeuvres will be held, in which every man in the camp will be engaged and which will be witnessed by Gov. Dix. It is reported that Gov. Dix will set a precedent for New York State Executives by appearing on the field with a complete military uniform and equipment.

LIEBLER THEATRE PLANS.

George C. Tyler. Back From Europe. rtrlngs News *»r Tliem.

George C. Tyler, managing director of Liebler A Co., who arrived yesterday by the French liner La PtnvKicg, s»id Paris players were applauding the scheme of Mme. Simon, who is coming here to give in English three French successes, "The Thief." "The Whirlwind," by Henri Bernstein, and Louis N. Parker's adapta­tion of Rostand's "Lady of Dreams." Mme. Simon created the part of the Hen Pheasant in "Chantecler."

All the artists of the French stage, Mr. Tyler said, were sitting up nights learning English preparatory to the Gallic invasion of America that Mme. Simon and her cempany will lead when the Provence comes here again early in September. With her will come her husband. Claude CassimirPerier. a chauf­feur, and one English and one French maid. She will bring also a stack of trunks filled with gowns, every one of which is some sort of a combination of white, gray and green, the only colors the actress will wear.

The Irish Players, from tho Abbey Theatre, Dublin, have been selected to dedicate Liebler A Co.'s new Plymouth Theatre in Boston next month. Mr. Tyler said of them: "Without exaggera­tion they give us the last word in ensemble acting. I never have heard anything in tho English Ianguase that equals their collective work." On their American tour they will give plays by Bernard Shaw. William Butlor Yeats, Lady Greg­ory and the late J. If. Synge.

Mr. Tyler said that Margaret Anglin,

A man who likes Hungarian goulash well enough to go hunting for the real kind found a place on lower Second avenue where it ceased to be 6tew and became gulyas. The service was poor but the dish was good and he went back not once but many times, each time wondering how an establishment so poorly run could make money. . .

Gradually he noticed that other regular patrons—and most of them were regulars —were far better served than he, but it was not until he spoke to a friend, the leader of a Hungarian orchestra, that he learned the reason. On the next visit the musician accompanied him and the atmosphere of the place at once became friendly.

"They were afraid that you were the other sort of Bohemian; the kind that goes in quotation marks," explained the leader when the coffee was served. "This is not the only place around here that lives in fear or being discovered by the uptown crowd, and they were trying to discourage your visits. It will be all right after this. I have explained to the waiter that you will keep the place to yourself and not bring a horde of sight­seers to drive away the regular and more steadily profitable patronage."

A temperance lecture of an extraor­dinary kind is now delivered daily to residents_pf the upper West Side by a conscientious expressman, who distrib­utes cards soliciting his new neighbors' patronage with this one exception printed at the top of his cards:

"Positively no liquors hauled:" It was said of the late Edwin A. Abbey

that his nearsightedness had much to do with his close attention to detail, one of the characteristics of his art. An illus­trator who does work in black and white, speaking the other day of Mr. Abbey's conscientious drawing in of details, won­dered how much ocular defects accounted

{for certain aptitudes of well known ar­tists.

'A cynical person told me the other day," he said, "that he half believed every impressioniHtic painter was nearsighted and drew what he saw with his glasses oil. It sounds sensible.

"And consider me. I am completely color blind. I cannot even tell blue from yellow, a failing which is rarer than red-green color blindness

"Yet I would not see colors if I could. When I draw, you see, I put in precisely the effects I get in nature, and they ten me that shade gradation is the chief merit of my work. I lay that to color blindness."

He had just come in from a week end visit in tho country.

"Greatest place I ever saw," he de­clared. "And nothing to worry me."

He produced a card from his pocket. "Read this," he said.

On the card was: "Please give nothing to the servants.

They do not expect money from guests in this house. This is your hostess's wish."

"I know my hostess well enough to ask her how she managed with tho servants." he proceeded, "for I had learned from experience elsewhere how much they ex­pect from week end visitors.

"I fee them myself.' said sho, 'and I insist that my guests shall be free from all obligations.'"

There was no signature. It happened, however, that the young woman while telling an indulgent uncle about the apparent reformation and evident resti­tution detected a gleam in his eye that had no business there. Intuition did the rest. She madn hJm confess to the note and the money retum*d. Somewhere the third person is going about not chastened at all.

John J. Coiiroy. a Bookbinder. Enter­tains Sons With "Dead Man" Trick ami sinks -Fourteen-Year-Old Makes Brave bnt Vain Effort to Ilea cue Him.

John J. Conroy. a bookbinder, whose home was at 565 Eagle avenue, The Bronx, was drowned yesterday while swimming at the foot of Tiffany street in the East River. His two sons. John,. 11 years old. and James. 10, and several neighbors' children were With him.

Mr. Conroy. himself an expert swimmer, had often told his boys that they must not go swimming unless he went with then}. Every pleasant Saturday after­noon through the summer he came home from work early to take the boys to the beach at Barretto Point at the foot of Tiffany street. Several of the neighbors were glad to have their boys join the party and there were generally ten or a dozen altogether.

As soon as Mr. Conroy got off the street car yesterday be was met by John and James.

"Take us for a swim, pop," they de­manded.

"Sure," said their father, "but first we'll go home and take this box of candy to mother and the girls." The Conroys have four other children, all girls and all younger than the boys.

They went home and left the candy, and while Mr. Conroy was exDlaining that little girls didn't go swimming John and James spread the news through the neighborhood that their father was goin^ to the beach. There were ten in the party when they started through 148th street toward the East River.

The younger boys put on their water wings and after they had received their customary lesson in swimming they called for (he grand finale.

"Show us the dead man trick, pop," called John. ,

Conroy swam out into deep water and dived. It delighted the boys to have him disappear from view for a few seconds and appear to be in trouble when he rose again. He came up from the dire thrashing about much the same as usual, but instead of turning a smiling face toward them before going under again he called loudly for help. The hoys wero

: dazed. The yell was not part of the trick and it sounded genuine.

Conroy came up again and called out for help. Henry Hordes, it years old, who lives in the same house with the Conroys. the only one of the boys who could swim, started for the sinking man with faltering strokes. Before he could reach him a steamer passed and the swell threw him back to the shore and also cast Conroy'a body almost at the feet of his younger son.

Tho boys rugged tho man ashore and tried their best to recollect the first aid treatment they had been taught at school. They remembered to motte his arms, but they forgot that first they should est the water out of him. Henry said later that he thought that they could pump out the water by moving his arms. An ambulance was called from Lebanon Hospital and the surgeon worked over Conroy for twenty minutes'. Then he gave it up. His bod> was removed to his home.

He WAS 5* years o'.d. He was r^.vtfey*-by C. E. Reed at Worth and Centre streets. His wife colVipsod when she heard of hia death.
