"peg My Heart," on of the best stage stories ever produced, comes to the Majestic theater next Wednesday, February 24.

J. Hartley Manners, the author, had a hard 'time to convince producing managers that be had a good play In "Peg," and It was left to Oliver Morosco to prove that he had the courage of his convictions, that a play can be free from moral lessons and discussions of either capital and labor, or sex questions, and still be a good play, and he proved his opinion correct. "Peg o' My Heart" has all the elements of a popular success, sentiment, drama and fun, and plenty of the latter. It is substantial in fibre, consistent la story, stront In Interest, fresh and natural no less In the drawings of its charcters than In the flow of the dialogue. Its merits are reo-ognlxed and endorsed by the most biased critics and play-goers wherever presented.

SPECIAL SUNK Ifj NORTH SEfi Evelyn goes down off German COAST OUTSIDE WAR MINE IS HELD RESPONSIBLE Berlin Claima Sinking of Erigliah Transport London Silent Bryan Demands Full Ex- 1 planation. Bremen, Germany, Feb.

22. The American steamer Evelyn, which. sailed from New York on Jan. 29 wlty a cargo of cotton for Bremen, struck a mine off Borkum Island in the North Sea. The vessel sank.

Her captain and 27 of her crew were saved. The nationality of the mine which destroyed the Evelyn has not been established. (The Evelyn is the first Ametaan vessel to meet with disaster as a re sult of the sea warfare on the Euro pean nations. She did not sink in the war zone included in the German admiralty's decree of Feb. 4, which went Into effect on Thursday.

Bor kum Island lies directly oft the German coast, at the mouth of Ems rfver, and is German territory. Maritime hecords give the comple ment of the Evelyn at 25 men, so It is probable that all on board were rescued. The Evelyn was a single-screw steel steamship and was commanded by Capt Smith. She belonged to A. H.

Bull Co. of New York and was chartered by the Harrlss-Irby Cotton Company of Oklahoma City, to take a cargo of cotton to Bremen. She was 252 feet long and 1,185 tons net. She was built in Southampton, England in 1883. Her home port was Philadelphia.

The Evelyn was last reported as ar riving at Rotterdam Feb. 17.) Bryan Orders Inquiry. Washington, Feb. 22. The United States government was officially ad-vised of the destruction of the first American vessel on the high seas since the outbreak of the European war.

American Consul Fee at Bremen cabled that the steamer Evelyn and ber cargo of cotton, bound for Bremen, had been "blown" up at Borkum, lust off the coast of Germany, but that the crew had been saved. The cause submarine or mine was not given in the dispatch. After a conference with President Wilson, Secretary Bryan cabled Ambassador Page at London and Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to make an exhaustive inquiry as to the facts, and if the crew was landed at either of their respective Jurisdictions to furnish every care and convenience to CapL Smith and his men so that they migbt return home safely Although the extent of sea tones of war proclaimed by Germany never was defined exactly, the Borkum Islands are considered far distant from the danger areas of submarines, although the waters of that vicinity are filled with mines for defensive purposes through which Germany always has piloted incoming ships. Mine Blamed by Germans. At the German embassy It was pointed out that the accident must have been caused by a mine, as Germany, sorely In need of cotton, would have no object In torpedoelng a Teasel laden with such a cargo for German cumfiumption.

Eeary press dispatches from Berlin announcing the loss of the vessel by a mine caused somewhat of a sensation in Washington, where the tension has been more or less pronounced over the situation In the war zones since the dispatch of -warning notes by the United States to both Great Britain and Germany. It virtually was concerer that If the cause of the accident was proved to be a mine, there probably would be no ground for diplomatic action by the United States, as the laying of mines Is not prohibited by any international convention now in force. Transport Reported Sunk. Berlin, Feb. 22 A tspatch received here reports that a British transport bringing troops tl France was sunk in the English Channel.

The news has been posted at the newspaper offices and has caused great rejoicing in the capital. The report of the sinking of BritiHh transport and an accompanying steamer reached Berlin too late for comment by the morning papers. All of tue papers, however, feature the report in first pag3 headlines together with reports of the sinking of other vessels by submarines or mines. If, as indicated by the foregoing, a British transport has fceen sunk, the news probably has been withheld in lxindon. Although accounts of the sinking of various other steamers by German submarines or by mines have been passed promptly by the British censors there was no intimation in the London dispatches of the destruction of a-transport.

Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Ttimea, on the charge of having endorsed a revolutionary movement against Lower California, brought statements from agents of Venustlano Carranxa, the constitutionalist leader In Mexico, that prominent men in various parts of the United States probably would be arrested soon on similar charges.

The diplomatic representatives of the United States have not been instructed to disuss the matter officially with either the Japanese or Chinese governments, but to learn which of the two versions is the present basis for negotiations. Administration officials, who have been comparing the demands furnished by China and those submitted by Japan to the United States, find that the former list contained 21 and the latter 11 stipulations. Aspect Changes.

The Chinese memorandlum is understood to conform substantially to recent published accounts of it and to include a far greater measure of control over China than the 11 stipulations given the powers at Tokio. In the latter list officials were not inclined to think the "open-door" policy wou-d be affected, but the arrival of the Chinese version. It is stated, put a changed aspect on the situation.
