Shakespeare Really Wrote Em, Asserts Phelps, Noted Critic Dr. William Lyon Phelps, noted educator and literary critic, discredits the theory that has long troubled the minds of literary students that Lord Bacon was the author of the various literary works commonly atribut'ed to William Shakespeare. "Of course we don't know positively but the writings of contemporaries, such as those of Ben Johnson who was personally acquainted with Shakes' peare show that Lord Bacon couldn't have written with the depth and un derstanding which characterizes Shakespeare's works," he said. I, W. W. FAIL TO 08EY STRIKE GALL; LEADER STILL HELD SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 21. Advices today from various parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana failed to record an instance where I. W. W. obeyed the order issued by James Rowan, district secretary for the agricultural and construction workers, to go on strike yesterday as a protest against detention in jails of many members of the organization. A report last night that members of the society at St. John, Wash., had walked out, demanding the release of one of their number held in jail, was denied today. It was said that about fifty I. W. W. members from outside of the district had established a camp there and that their efforts to persuade the men to strike had been unsuccessful. Investigation of the cases of James Rowan, district secretary, and twentysix other alleged Industrial Workers of the World, held in the county jail here as military prisoners, was expected to be taken up today by Major Wilkins, in 'command of the Idaho National Guardsmen patrolling the vicinity, and United States Attorney Ganecht. Rowan is still nominally in charge of the affairs of his organization in the northwest, but he is not allowed to communicate with anyone from his cell. His alternate, who he said last week vould be ready to assume command of tho strike in the event of his arrest, had not made himself known, if ho was in the city. National Guardsmen are still in charge of local I. W. W. headquarters and the district executive office here. It was reported that legal steps were contemplated to effect the release of at least some of tho men held In jail with Rowan, but United States Attorney Garrecht said no one representing them had taken the matter up with him. To Open Recruiting Station for Navy Men who want to get into the navy won't have to leave Richmond to do it hereafter. Gunner's mate M. B. Goldfarb, formerly at tho Connersvillo navy station, will open a Richmond station in the postoTfico Wednesday morning. The Connersville branch has been cloM'd to provide for the Richmond station. A campaign to stimulate navy recruiting in -Indiana will be begun soon. Goldfarb says. CONDITION UNCHANGED PARIS. Monday, Aug. 20.

;,Gabbiest Hour9

Between Chautauqua's "gabbiest" hour is between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock In the morning, from present indications.

After the night program the crowd gradually thins out, the campers wind their Music Greatest of Arts, Says Phelps Music is the greatest power of universal expression, the only universal language, said Dr. William Lyon Phelps, noted educator, author and literary critic, speaking before a large adience in the auditorium tent at Chautauqua, Tuesday. It is the greatest of all the arts, he said, and expresses more than any of the others. Robert Browning, the poet, was not only a great poet, but a great musician as well.

INDIANA WRITERS ARE RATED HIGH

Indiana novelists, Aid especially Booth Tarkington, author of "The Gentleman from Indiana," ' are placed among the greatest in the country by Dr. William Lyon Phelps, author, educator and lecturer, of Yale university, who speaks at the Richmond Chautauqua Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Lew Wallace, Edward Eggleston and Maurice Thompson, early Indiana writers, were placed among the country's greatest fiction writers. James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier poet who died last year, is the greatest poet within forty years, in the opinion of Dr. Phelps. "Seventeen" by Booth Tarkington, is one of the finest pieces of literature depicting'the youthfulness of love ever written, Dr. Phelps said. The following is a list of leading writers, which Dr. Phelps says every one should read: Thomas Hardy, author of "Tess of the d'Ubervilles"; Joseph De Morgan, author of "Joseph Vance"; Joseph Conrad, author of "The Typhoon"; Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina"; Margaret Deland, Irving Bacheller, Alice Brown, Dorothy Canfield, John Masefield, Henry Sydnor Harrison, Rupert Hughes and Mary S. Watts. More Divorcees Than Married Folks In 50 Years, Says Benson Rev. John D.

COAL DICTATOR WILL BE NEXT WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. President Wilson's next move toward the establishment of government control of the coal Industry, following the appointment of Judge Robert S.

There was no intimation to be had today concerning the identity of the man the president will name to control coal production and distribution and exercise the price fixing powers given in the food bill. It is not believed that a member of the federal tradecommission or Judge Lovett will be appointed. Judge Lovett's iirst official act was to direct railway and steamship lines to give bituminous coal shipments to' the northwest precedence over all other freight transportation.

"Why don't you kill me?" she asked, and though his answer surprised her, it did not make her angry, "It would do no good," he said simply. "Would you kill me if you thought it would do good?" "Certainly!" he said. She laughed at that as if it were the greatest joke she had ever heard. It set her in the best humor possible, and by the time they reached the ebony table and she had taken the pen and dipped it in the ink, he was chuckling to herself as if the one good joke had grown Into a hundred. She wrote in Urdu. It is likely that for all her knowledge of the spoken English tongue she was not so swift or ready with the trick of writing it. She had said herself that a baby read English books to her aloud. But she wrote in Urdu with an easy flowing hand, and in two minutes she had thrown sand on the letter and had given it to King to read. It was not like a woman's letter. It did not waste a word. "Your Captain King has been too much trouble. He has taken money from the Germans. He adopted native dress. He called himself Kurram Khan. He slew his own brother at night in the Khyber Pass. These men will say that he carried the head to Khinjan, and their word is true, for I, Yasminl, saw. He used the head for a passport, to obtain admittance. He proclaims a jihad! He urges invasion of India! He held up his brother's head before five thousand men and boasted of the murder. The next you shall hetr of your Captain King of the Khyber Rifles, he will be leading a jihad in India, You would have better trusted me, YASMINL" He read it and passed it back to her. "They will not disbelieve me," she said triumphant as the very devil over a brandered soul all hot. "They will be sure you are mad, and they will believe the witnesses!" He bowed. She sealed the letter and addressed it with only a scrawled mark on its outer cover. That, by the way, was utter insolence, for the mark would be understood at any frontier post by the officer commanding. "Rewa Gunga shall start with this today!" she said, with more amusement than malice. After that she was still for a moment, watching his eye, at a loss to understand his carelessness. He seemed strangely unabased. His folded arms were not defiant, but neither were they yielding. "I love you, Athelstan!" she said. "Do you love me?" "I think you are very beautiful, Princess!" "Beautiful? I know I am beautiful. But is that all?" "Clever!" he added. She began to drum with the golden dagger hilt on the table, and to look dangerous, which is not to infer by Eny means that she looked less lovely. "Do you love me?" she asked. "Forgive me. Princess, but you forget. I was born east of Mecca, but my folk were from the West. We are slower to love than some other nations. With us love is more often a growth, less often surrender at first sight. I think you are wonderful." She nodded and tucked the sealed letter in her bosom. "It shall go," she MR.
