of "Sold" will bo Thomas Holding, who
appeared as David Hossl In tho flint
of "Tho Eternal City," nnd Julian

Itollln S. Sturgeon, tho vltagraph direc

refuses to sneeze- ngaln. One morning
during his recent visit East ho entered
the advertising department of tho Flat

whyfor of his strnnge action he remarked:
"Up to two mtnutes ago I had succeeded
In getting rid of an awful headache ac

Tho hendacho returned. Sneeze? Never

Miss Kcllermann, who will be recalled.
In tho film, "Neptune's Daughter," Is to
be starred by tho Fox Company In a
great photoplay spectacle. Herbert
Bronon is to produce the forthcoming
photodrama. Tho cost Involved runs, ac
cording to official announcement. Into the
hundred thousands of dollars, nnd hun
dreds of people will bo employed support
ing Miss Kellermanh. A largo cruising
yacht has been purchased In connection
with ttie Kellormann production, which
will carry tho actress and her company to
tho various countries In South and Central
America, whero tho pictures of tho great
spectacle will bo photographed. Many of
tho scones will be made In Yucatan, tho
land of myBtcry, which abounds In
strange ruins of n long ' jnlshed civil
ization. Miss Delia Brodle Is one of the Balboa
Company's assistant motion picture di
rectors. When she was assigned to Sher
wood MacDonald, tho director, who has
been making motion picture history, he
strenuously 'objected to having a member
of the weaker sex; on his staff. But now
that Miss Iirodlo has worked with him
through tho production of four fenture
films, nothing but her marriage or death
could influence him to give up her serv
ices. Pathe announces the acquisition of the
picture rights to Gilbert Parker's novel,
"The Weavers." This novel has never
been dramatized before, though It had a
tremendous snle, passing through a num
ber of editions. The story should make
a very Interesting picture full of un
usual and highly dramatic situations. It
deals with the adventures of a young
Quaker, those uncle Is killed in an in
surrection in Egypt, and whose dying re
quest Is that his nephew try to reclaim
Egypt by establishing Christlnn atand
ards of living. Tho young man by his ab
solute honesty rises to high power, but
the Intrigues of Jealous native princes
nearly drive him bnck to England. His
love affair with a beautiful tAmerlcan girl
who has married an English title la wo
ven through the story.

nounce that they have secured the pic
ture rights to "Hazel ICirke," Steele Mac
kay's record-breaking old play,, Edwin
Arden. William Illley Hatch and Crelgh
ton Hale will appear In the Wharton plc
turlzatlon. Pathe also announces the acquisition of
the picture rights to Illchard Carle's
"Mary's Lamb." Mr. Carle himself will
play the lead In the Pathe picture.
An example of the elaborateness and
the scaje of preparations and arrange
ments necessary to make a few scenes
for a modern photodrama production was
the recent staging of a real Spanish bull
fight before 20,000 persons in Los Angeles,
Cal., for a series of the scenes In the
ptcturlzatlon of "Carmen," In which the
Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company
will present Miss Geraldine Farrar, fa
mous prima donna, as a screen star.
Permits to construct an enormous am
phitheatre, with tier on tier of seats, had
been obtained from the municipal au
thorities of Los Angeles, and on the day
the bull fight was held business in the
entire section adjacent to Hollywood was
suspended. .
Ten photographers were engaged at
various times and places under the direc
tion of Cecil B. De Mllle, director gen

depicted included every feature of a gala
day, the gathering at the exterior of the
bull ring, tho march In true Spanish style

WAY NOW CLEARED
FOR NEW LIBRARY
City Solicitor's Opinion Makes
Possible Construction of
Building.
After yenrs of delay, the trustees of tho
Free Library of Philadelphia, aro em
powered to have tho new central library
erected at 19lh and Vine streets. The
structure will bo tho first of tho public
buildings to bo erected on tho Parkway.
Its construction has been made possible
by nn opinion handed down by City So
licitor' Ityan yesterday authorizing tne
trustees to use the rest of the $1,000,000
loon of 1S9S, nnd that of last year, of
110,000, for tho erection of the main build
ing. Tho first loan was for tho construction
of a "completed library building." More
than JCOO.000 was expended In tho purchase.
of land, and tho trustees then planned
starting work on a library which would
ecntually cost $3,000,000. When Informed
that, under tho terms of tho loan, they
must complete the structure with tho
remaining (785,411, they abandoned the
plan temporarily.
City Solicitor Ryan's opinion is basrd
upon the fact that the $40,000 loan of
last car authorizes tho expenditure of
money "toward" the construction of the
building, nnd allows tho work of build
ing of tho library to bo done on tho sec
tional plan, frst using tho balance of
tho old loan and then the (10,000. His
opinion asserts In part:
"If, then, Councils havo in pursuance
of the second vote of the people specif
ically directed the erection of a library
building and have appropriated the (10,000
mentioned In the ordinance of mi, to
gether with tho balance of the $1,000,000
loan of 1608 for beginning tho erection of
a library building, there no longer re
mains any objection to proceeding with
the work nnd using the aggregate fund
remaining for tho purpose of beginning
such construction." ,
Henry R. Edmunds, prosldent of the
board of trustees of the Free Library,
asserts that proposals for bids will be
asked early In the fall and the work of
construction on the original plans begun
ao early in the winter as possible.

PHILADELPHIA TO HAVE
CONVENTION MANAGER
Representative of Chamber of
Commerce Will Advertise
This City's Advantages.
Philadelphia is to havo a convention
manager. His business will be to repre
sent tho Chamber of Commerce In Its
nation-wide campaign to bring conven
tions to this city. This was announced
today by N. B. Kelly, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce.
The first assignment of this official
will bo a trip to tho Panama Exposition
In San Francisco, where he will exert
every Influence at his command to per
suade the greatest possible number of as
sociations meeting this summer on the
Pacific coast to select Philadelphia as
the place for their 1310 conventions.
This project hus been approved by the
reorganized Chamber of Commerce, and
tho expenses of such a campaign havo
been approved up to J20.CO0 a year. Mr.
Kelly said he wns not ready nt this
time to nnnounce the name of the man to
do this work, because tho negotiations
aro not quite complete.
"We want to make Philadelphia the
great convention city of the United
States." said Mr. Kelly, "and with a. cen
trally located convention hall, whether at
21th and Mnrket streets or near the cen
tre of the city on the Parkway, this can
be done." , '
Already the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World have selected this city
as their meeting place next summer. With
It as a certainty, and the strong possibility
that tho Republican National Convention
will be held here, a flying start has been
made. But with thei building of the pro
posed convention hall In a central loca
tion tho Chamber of Commerce believes
that there will be an almost continuous
sessions of national conventions here.
Man Held for Highway Robbery
Marlon Curmlchael, of Federal near
6th street, was held without ball for a
further hearing today by Magistrate
Harrlgan, at tho 3d and De I-anccy streets
station, accused of highway robbery. He
was found standing over the unconscious
body of Morris Lubln, of 232 De Lancey
street, ut 2 o'clock this morning, by Po
liceman Enberg. Another man and a
woman with Carmlchael, Jumped Into a
Jitney nnd escaped. .Lubln was not badly
injured.

U. S, BOAT-ALMOST
Thrilling Tale of Awful Out
rage on Destroyer Ericsson
by a Garden Hose.
The mystery of the daring "attempt"
to sink the torpedoboat destroyer Erics
son at her dock at the New York 8hlp
building plant In Camden last Tuesday,
the day after tho disastrous fire, believed
of Incendiary origin, on the Oklahoma,
has been solved.
Wednesday morning, as the officials of
the company were Investigating the cause
nnd effect of the great blase on the giant
warship being rushed to completion for
the United Stales Oovernment, word was
brought to them that the Ericsson, which
when delivered will be the pride of this
country's destroyer fleet, was sinking at
her wharf.
Tho officials, worried and agonized over
the disaster of the night before, could
not bolteve that tho company's loss,
already large, was to be Increased by the
nddltlon of a great damage to one of tho
two prospective remaining government
vessels In the nrd. It mtlst be a fact that
the yard hnd been singled out as tho
object of terrorising attacks by spies, tho
ultimate end of which no one could fore
tell, but which there seemed no means
of preventing.
Tho evidence of tho last act of terrorism
was before their eyes. Tho hold of the
destroyer was filled with water nnd
the ship had a decided list.
An investigation wns started Imme
diately. The vessel was examined thor
oughly. No leak or no damage to tho
hull wns discovered. It becamo neces
sary nt once to find tho sourco of the
water In the hold. Acting on tho thoory
that the methods of thoso believed to be
responsible for slmllnr outrages were of
a degree of subtlety to defy detection,
suspicion Immediately fixed Itself on none
other than the most unsuspicious of
agencies, a common ordinary garden hose,
one ond of which was nttached to a
faucet In the yard on shore nnd the other
lost beneath the surface of tho grimy
water.
Tho solution was caster after this
point had been reached, although tho
sublety of method displayed in the se
lection of tho garden hose as tho chief
nctor In tho foul "conspiracy" was evi
dent nil along In an increasing degree.
It had all been arranged by those
"spies" responsible for tho dastardly at
tempt to sink the ship that tho decks
should bo swobbed down ns Usual on
last Tuesday night. Further than that,
every precaution wns taken that tho
man whose particular duty It was to do
it ovcry night should also bo on tho Job
last Tuesday.
The agents nnd spies, not satisfied by
this startling exhibition of Machiavellian
cunning, to'ik means to assure themselves
that ho had a wife ond family to whom
after tho toll of day ho was more than
anxious to return.
The stage having been set as arranged
for by the "spies," the closing whistle
blew at the accustomed time, tho deck
swabber hastened to return to his fam
ily, he dropped the hose, forgot to turn
It off nnd the foul "scheme" went through
when, on Wednesday morning, the hoso
having played Into the hold all night, tho
boat was quite full of water.
Thus can a garden hose affect the des
tiny of kings nnd countries and the rev
enues of a great corporation, but most of
all, the tenure of a- deck swobber In his
Job.

Old Simeon Mokemacher's Prediction
Falls Flat.
Old Simeon Mokemacher has lost out
nnd Weatherman Bliss has won.
It did not rain yesterdny and tho St.
Swlthln tradition for this year has gone
by the boards. SI said It couldn't go
wrong, and therefore the Andnluslan
goosebono prophet Is traveling around In
sackcloth and ashes, whlla a smile of
saved, reputation plnys on tho face of the
official weather forecaster. But even
at that the score Is Just a tie.
Simeon put It all over tne Weather Bu
reau last winter when It came to pre
dicting the number of snowstorms sifted
for this city, and he says that he will
get the local forecaster along those lines
again next winter. Mr. Bliss says .he will
take up the matter then.
Old Simeon, like a good sport, after
admitting ho was licked, proceeded on
his way back to Andalusia to take the
roof oft his shack out there, which he
nulled on tight in anticipation of 40 days
of rain.- In accordance with the St.

Police Court Chronicles
Every time that Herbert Frits gets
drunk he comes homo and whips the
family, tho neighbors say. 'Screams nnd
crashes In tho Fritz homo nt Thompson
nnd Carson streets, aro suro signs that
Fritz Is drunk again. Frits believes In
the old Idea that misery loves company,
nnd it lightens the woes ot his wife, in
his opinion, If he beats his six children
after thrashing tho woman who onco
kept step with him In the wedding
march.
But It appears that Mrs. Fritz Is ot a
very forgiving nature, and ns long- ns
she survives each attack with her chil
dren sho doesn't complain scilously. The
frequent battles have been too much for
tho nerves of the neighbors, however, and
Mrs. Mary Uooley, who Hvos near the
Fritz home, called the pollco when the
puglllstla husband started things today.
Policeman Mehlman arrived -when the
battle wua at Its height and ended tho
excitement by forcing tli strenuous hus
band against the wall. -AH the light was
quickly knocked out of him nnd he was
taken to the 39th and Lancaster avenue
station.
Much to the surprise of Mrs. Dooley,
who appeared against Fritz, his wife Bald
that he merely beat her once In a while.
Mnglstrnto Boyle was also amazed at
the attitude of the woman. Ho realized,
however, that sho would be deprived of'
support If Fritz was sent to Jail. On
promising to take tho pledge and keep It
ho was discharged.
