JOINT DEBATE PROPOSED
Shakespeare vs. Bacon
Philadelphia Shakespenres are
indlRnant over the opinion render
ed by JudRe Tuthill, of Chicago,
which declares Francis Bacon to
be the- author of the works of Wil
iliam Shakespeare. Philadelphia
Shakespearcs who have risen to the
defense of the English bard, whose
name they bear, follow: ,
Andrew J., salesman, 604 East
Roxborough street; Ambrose, ma
chinist, 2130 North Ubcr street:
Mrs. Edward 0 103 South .23d
street; Charles ,E., student, 103
South 23d strccl; Mary B., 103
South 21st street; Martha E., 2G58
North Chadwick street; Oliver W.,
1808 North 12th street; Philip C,
lithographer, 707 North 43d street;
Raymond K., clerk, 1220 Greylock
street; Sarah, 1220 Greylock street.
There are more than 150 Bncons
Hsfcd in the City Directory and
many of them claim tot be direct
descendants of Francis Bncon.
They are delighted with the deci
sion of the Chicago judge, and say
they "knew it all the time."
It wouldn't bo healthy Just now for
Judge Edward Tutlilll, of Chicago, to
' como In contact with tho Shakcspearos of
Philadelphia, for they resent most thor
. oughly hla declaration In an opinion ren
dered on Friday that FrnnclB Bacon wan
tho author of tho uorks of William Shake-
spcare.
Somo of tho Philadelphia Shakespearos
' claim to bo direct descendants of tho
famous English bard whoso namo they
bear, nnd thoy declare that It Is absurd
for n "little, narrow, obRcure" Chicago
Judge to sot himself up as n Shake
spearean authority. In plain language,
they advise Judge Tuthill to "stick to his
lino" and keep out of the forbidden pas
tures of English literature.
On the other hand, tho Hacons of Phila
delphia, of which there aro fully 1B0 In
. number, are delighted with Judge Tuthlll's
' decision. More than two-thlrdH of tho
Philadelphia Bacons claim to be direct do
Bcondantsof the original Francis, nnd they
declare that Judge Tuthill performed a
great service to tho literary world In
transferring tho credit for tho Shake
spearean works to tho house of Bacon In
. fact, so pleased nro tho Philadelphia
4 Bacons with Judge Tuthlll's decision that
it Is certain that If tho Chicago Jurist
visited Philadelphia he would be met at
tHe station by a delegation of Bacons and
, a brass band, and entertained royally at
.' tho Bellevuo-Stratford. ,,
Some of tho Philadelphia Shakespeare
are so worked up over tho dabbling of tho
Chicago Judge Into Shakespearean lit
erature that they nre thinking of chal
lenging some of tho Philadelphia Bncons
to debate on tho subject. It Is certain
that the fur would fly If a Philadelphia
Shakespeare happened to meet a Phllndcl-
phla Bacon on tho street JiiBt now.
MRS, SHAKESPEARE IKCCNSI2D.
Mrs. Andrew J. Shakespeare, 604 East
Hoxborough Btrcet, Uoxborough. was not
slow to. express her Indignation over the
blight cast on tho namo of Shakespeare
,liy the decision of Judgo Tuthill.
J "Absurd, absurd, perfectly absurd," Bho
v Bald. "I'd like to know what a little ono
; Jiorso Judge out In Chicago knows about
fy Shakespeare. It Is ridiculous for anybody,
let alone a mcro Judge, to come out at
this late day with nny such nonsense.
"My husband Is a direct descendant ot
AVIIllam Shakespeare, tho English bard.
Ills grandfather enmo over from England
long ago, and my husband has often heard
ills grandfather speak of his ancestor,
Shakespeare. We nre not worried by tho
; senile babblings ot that Chicago Judge.
J Wo have confidence In tho literary stand-
; lng of the name of Shakespeare, and wo
'will never let nnybody tell us that Bacon
; or anybody else wrote tho "Merchant of
7 Venice' or any other of tho writings which
have forever established the name of
Shakespeare in every corner of tho civ-
illzed world."
DOCTOR BACON JUBILANT.
is Dr. W. D. Bacon, 400 North 54th street.
Select Councilman from tho 44th Ward,
expressed his jjlensuro at the decision ot
Judge Tuthill.
r. "It was a right decision." he declared.
t "Anybody who knows anything at all
about the thing knows that Shakespeare
could not have written those works. My
brother has looked up our family tree
' pretty thoroughly, and we find that we
Are direct descendants of Francis Bacon.
' Francis Bacon was a man of unusual lit-
erary ability and ho was well educated,
i None of us Bacons ever had any Idea that
-. Shakespeare was responsible for the so
j called Shakespearean literature. Of course
J the works were written by Bacon."
i Dr. H. Augustus Bacon, 1537 G Irani
avenue, was also certaltf that Judge Tut
, hill had placed tho credit for the Shake
spearean works where It belonged. He
also claimed to be a direct descendant of
Francis Bacon, and Is the proud possessor
of the Bacon coat of arms. On the top
. of the coat of arms Is the cut of a pig, and
underneath are the words: "A. Bacon,"
' "My father's grandfather," Bald Doctor
Bacon, "had the same vlewB expressed by
Judge Tuthill, He was born In England
and was a descendant of Francis Bacon."
Mrs. Amos W. Bacon, 1623 McCallum
, street. Is also certain that Judge Tuthill
' Is correct.
"We are descendants of Francis Ba
V con," Bhe Bald, "and we have always
rather doubted that Shakespeare was the
3 real author of the works accredited to
i him. Some time ago I read that an Iron
" box had been located in England contaln
. Ing papers which shed light on this con
- troyersy, but I guess there was nothing
In the story,"
aiiss Annio nacon, wno also claims
Francis Bacon as an ancestor, said;
"The decision of the Chicago Judge
seems quite logical. The subject Is too
big, however, to discuss without consid
erable "study, "

COAL TAX REFUND
WILL BE $7,000,000
Only Wholesalers Will Benefit,
Though, Not the Con
suming Public
HA7.I.ETON, Pa.. April 24. It Is renigh
ly estimated her that about $7,000,000 is
Involved In the refund of the anthracite
coal tax to wholesale buyers on the part
of the operators. The big companies col
lected 10 cents a ton on their output from
tho time tho Honey law, since declared un
constitutional, became effective. In 191S.
The companies that have decided to re
turn the tax are!
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, Pennsyl
vania Coal Company, Philadelphia and
Heading Coal and Iron Company, D., Ti.
and W. Coal Company, Lehigh and Wllkes
Harre Coal Company and somo of the
smaller concerns
These companies kept a record of tho
amount of tax collected from every whole
sale customer ahd are now paying back
this money on demand. In somo cases It
runs as high as $1000 In a single case.
Individual consumers Bland little chance
of getting back their money, either be
cause the retailers who sold them did not
keep nny records and receipted bills have
been lost or destroyed. No retailers In the
Lehigh field have yet announced that they
will mako restitution.
Sinking dua allowance for coal used at
the mines, on which no tax was reckoned,
lha amounts collected by tho largo produc
ers are approximately as follows in the
22 months during which the Honey law
was operative:
