M. 0, .aadBS&Ssk. premier of New Zealand, showed (he tars of the I JwP" American battle fioet, .during their recent Visit HJ to that country, that nil colonial officials nro H) t '. M not of the Swetteuham typo. Ho had charge Hj Mm f the entertaining of tho bluejacket and he ?bJ4 9C W acquitted himself royally. In addition to din- VV. Dcf nd balls In tho city he took them for a yl two-days' trip Into the Interior and showed thorn I h -jSSL K ,llG "aturnl wonders that have made New Zea B isf9SH lanJ known throughout the world. B Vt 'if'' 1,0 liad the American admiral stir up a B MS&k' t Jm "leeplng geyser with a cako of soap, and he had B MLmWr "ie ,nrs peep lnt0 1,10 hlnzlng I'"- which the B sMrSbVA AM Maoris have always regarded as the place ol HJ ffCffffifflS mwMk i iEl flnal torments. Ho showed them the most .socialistic government In the world, a countr) Hj In which at the polls us well as In tho courts woman has tho samo rights ai B nn, nnJ t'e Mnrol stands on the rnmo plane with tho white man. And na Hj man Is better able to point out unci explain the things of Interest In that mosl Interesting country than Premier Wnrd, for he has been In politics nearly all his llfo, knows every foot of the country and Is versed In all Its problems. Sir JoHepli Is a typical Englishman in nppcaranco, tall, stout, with a large, Hj well-shaped head and wide-open eyes, He Is very ordinary In his nppenrance Hj and would Impress one as n succcBHful business man with a kindly nature Hj and a genial manner. It was for very meritorious services that he was made HJ a baronet. It was In acknowledgment of his powers as an entertnlner, for HJ he was premier when the duke and duchess of Cornwall visited Now Zealand and It was his place to rccelvo them. And ho took Just as grent pains In en- tertalnlng tho American tars as ho did when ho had sprigs of royalty as HJ guests. Sr Jbsoph Is 61 years of ago and Is still In tho prlmo of life. I LATE TURKISH AMBASSADOR H """T I Mohmed All Hey, tho Turkish ambassador B s!SB (n "le t-'n"e(' States, who has just been uncerc- B sIsIbIbSHB monlously dumped out of his position by an HJ fnWsjjHJ order from Constantlnoplu, Is a victim of chance, Hj f U8t aB 'lc was favored f that goddess when B l' 1,6 rrco'VC(' appointment. For Mehmed All Hey B K tPS-' si wa" Dm(l ambassador through tho Iniluencu of 8 fm his father, Izzct Pashn, who was private secro- B 4K$U wffwj tRry 10 l'le Sll"nn nn(1 ono ,of ll,s m08t trusted B v ifsMHsft X$M$' nnJ ,nn"entlal advisers. It Is an eloquent llluv B 5iK?jHt5Wl tratlon of tho whirligig of tlmo that oven whilo H T&LfflS&Zyjl 1,10 Hon 18 recalled by his government mid, pro- HJ &JZwSuBMm!rW7h sumnbly, reduced to tho ranks, his father Is B ldB9vBVr Jnillui declared nt this moment to bo hidden In Hj iMmSf!! JMilllllL ow 0T a fugitive from Justice and sought Hj twVWfciiMMMffl by tho "Young Turkey" lenders in Gotham, .who HJ hated him during tho Bunny days when his word Hj was a potent Influence with the sultan. , HJ Not that Mehmed All was unfitted for his position. Ho Ib a man of cul- Hj hire and ranked high in tho diplomatic corps, although only 35 years old. Ho Hj was ono of the chief counselors of the foreign ofllco at home before coming Hj to America. He la much rnpro liberal In his vlows thnn were most of his Hj predecessors. HJ His father, Izzet Pasha, Is declared by the' Turkish revolutionists In Now Hj York to bo at this moment hlddon somewhere in that city, with a great Bharo Hj of his fortuno nnd an Interpreter who speaks perfect English and who screens Hj his master from observation. Mundjl Hey, late Turkish consul general to Hj New York and named to succeed the ambassador as charge d'affaires, and who HJ Is In sympathy with the "Young Turkish" movement, Is posltlva that tho HJ former "boss" is In that city, and that he will bo discovered. Just what Hj would be likely to happen to the pasha jf the revolutionists should find him Hj first Is a matter for speculation. I I SEEKS FOLK'S PLACE Hj I I William S. Cowherd, who received a plu- I Bv rallty of tho votes In the primary as Democratic B ""iv&i candldnte for governor of Missouri, will have to H y "sht for tils place on the tlpket In the courts H U l of tho state. Walter Hall, who landed second B B U 'n the running, has started a contest, and has B rmMMSwt r placed beforo tho prosecuting attorneys of three B fiSwlS CI counties evidence tending to show that many B MD J Bj of tho ballots cast for Cowherd wero fraudulent. B !ilWfcd&mt?& y One peculiar featuro of tho campaign which ylffjjjEmbaA closed with tho primaries was tho fact that W x lnrffi& Cowherd secured his plurality In tho threo cities I Vliwjf ot Bi' Iolll8 Kansas c"y nnd Springfield. Every I MllmtfeS tfon other county In the entire stnto went heavily I sdtlwui' s iMi against Cowherd, yet he plied up such enormous H wmM ll'fm- iflt'fA majorities In tho threo cities named that ho H overcamo tho adverse lead and had several B thousand votes to spare, uccordlng to tho tcturns. Cowherd Is 48 years old, a natlvu of tho cob-pipe stato and a lawyer. Ho lias practiced law In Kansas City ever slnco his graduation from tho state unl-B unl-B verslly, except when he was too busy playing tho game of politics. B His political car'eor may be said to have commenced with his appointment B as assistant prosecuting attorney In 18S5. Prom that position he went to tho B city counselor's office as flrst assistant, was mayor of Kansas City for two fl years und served in congress for eight years, retiring In 1905 at tho request B or his district. B In tho recent campaign ho was credited with tho support of United 'States B Senator William J. Stone, himself a candldnte for ro-elcctlon. Hall, Cowhcrd'n B strongest opponent, was said to have the backing ot (lov. Folk. B Tho latter has been asked to send tho attorney-general ot the state to B Kansas City and St. Louis to assist the local prosecuting departments In tho B hcnrch for crookedness 1 if the primaries, but the executive has Intimated that H ho does not consider it the plnco ot tho stato officials to tako any active part in nny such Investigation, bill rather to leave tho whole Investigation in tho B hands of tho local officers. I 1 TO DIRECT NEW THEATER B I i Donald Hobertson, who Is to bo director of H .ff-v. "10 new 'nunlclpal theater experiment In Chi- I ES? ,"SN- cngo, Is equally well known as nn actor nnd a B lr manager. He haB from tho Inception of tho K f s u Chicago Idea boen nn ardent supporter of the K w. ,i ?1 experiment, nnd It will bo carried out upon his fffirwjW? ii! 0W" "neS I H There Is little similarity between the now R W toA-mX W theater project In New York 'nnd tho municipal M wf - yt playhouse In Chicago. Tho former Is essentially hilMt, a prlvnto enterprise, founded by a group of AwST S JHm wca'thy men who, seeing tho need of an un-id&flr&r un-id&flr&r JnJlfyk trammeled stage for tho porpotuatlon of tho dffllSn ZjT MillllEli clnenlc drnmn, banded themselves together, fur-M7JmMn. fur-M7JmMn. iSk yJ!tllll nlshcd the monoy to put up a magnificent build-mWmJmUMlllll!m build-mWmJmUMlllll!m ing. nnd announced a scnlo of prices In keeping with tho superior quality of tho entertainment offered, Tho Chicago idea, however, Is mainly educational, and contemplates the presentation of a series of classic playB by a capable stock company for no admission fee whatever, Tho Chlcngo Institution will be In n sense n municipal mu-nicipal project, occupying by assignment n municipal building. It has been arranged to present n season of 30 weeks of drnmutlc offerings In Fnllerton hall, an adjunct of tho Chlcngo Art Institute, with performances, on Tuesday evening of each week. The season will begin with tho last week In September, and the rtobortson players will offer in historical perspective, pieces from the classic German, Spanish, Scandinavian, Italian, French and American plnywrlghts. The financial burden of tho whole artistic experiment will be assumed by tho directors and members of tho Art Institute, who number num-ber about 2,500 people, and admission will be restricted to tho membership until the demand from that field Is satisfied. Incidentally, tho municipal theater in Chicago will not be a place of 'amusementno 'amuse-mentno light cleverness nor frothy music no superficial problem plays nor sketchy reviews. Itather, It is to bo heavy, heavy to the vergo olmost ot pedantry, with the Idea of educating tho public tBsto rather than catering to It. |
