"atbay" appeals by Judicious thrills Scarborough Melodrama Has Real Suspense and ing Irish Hero. Reiterates That Brooklynite Was Railroaded in Atlanta. A circular letter signed by Walter B. Brown of Chlsholm, denouncing the trial In the Georgia courts which resulted lu the conviction of Leo M. Frank, a Brooklyn man and a young Jew, on the charge of murderlug a 14-year-old girl, has been received by The Eagle.

Mr. Brown, who apparently acts on his own Initiative out of sympathy with the convicted man, characterizes the case as "an American Dreyfus case." He says he is not a Jew, but that he revolts, as a good American, at the nd of justice which can convict on evidence which, he says, was wholly circumstantial and based chiefly on the testimony of a negro criminal several times convicted of crime.

Makes Captain Lawrence Holbrook a Most Delightful Toller of Villainous Contrivinga. IAT BAT. a nwlodrama In four acts, by Geurge Scarborough.

In the same way George Sear-borough's authorlshp of "The Lure" earlier In the season, need Influence no one's judgment of his "At Bay," given last evening for the first time at the. Thirty-nlutu Street Theater.

In order to enjoy "At Bay" you must believe, first of all, that Nature mimics Act. This is to say, that the largest number of variegated Improbabilities possible during a few hours happen to cloud and befuddle the lives of a few, for the most part Interesting Washington folks. Most young woinon do not think of stealing blackmailing letters at a late hour at night and then stabbing the black-mailer with a paper file that Is, not until they have read of some fluffy thing doing these brave deeds between the covers of tba latest best seller. But In fiction the murderess flicks the ash off her cigarette, walks calmly home, and thrills a large circle of friends with a vivid delineation of her eight's work. That I Art.

In fact, however, the poor girl usually cries and gets caught and there if the devil to pay. and he always demands payment. That Is Nature. "At Bay" is a melodrama. The programme frankly confesses It.

You realize It yourself as soon as the curtain rises on the second act, and Judson Flagg, blackmailing lawyer, begins to take flashlight photographs of bis clients. But because the Interest is for the most part of a quiet, tense and compelling sort, one forgets the melodrama in the story itself, and the actors In the fats of the persons tbey represent. It Is needless to recount the story of the plot here, for to do so is to give away the secret. There Is a District At torney, of course, and bis motherless daughter, who believes that Indiscretion is the better part of love. There are Secret Service men, too, aud police with brass buttons.

Also there is one of those mumbling crowds that always gathers off stage and Jabbers wildly because they cannot get Inside to see the same thing for nothing that you are paying $2 to see. The big thing about "At Bay" Is the character of Captain Lawrence Holbrook In the hands of Ouy Standing, who ro-appeared in New York after Beveral years absence In England. Just bow much of Captain Lawrence Is Scarborough and how much Is Standing would be difficult 4o say, but the net result is a gallimaufry of delight. Mr. Standing has made the Captain an Irishman that will twist the heart strings of matinee girls for some time.

Mr. Scarborough bas made him say and do things that will hold the attention of the older folks. So there is no reason why the eutlre family. should not be happy. When all Is said and done, you will find that "At Bay" Is a clean evening's entertainment.

If several of its people are colorless and superfluous, at least they are righteous. There Is no attempt to teach "a powerful moral lesson" by a less than powerful Immoral show. And once tbe Improbable hypotheses are granted, the piny moveg swiftly, logically and Interestingly to a satisfactory conclusion, A word must be gatd about the acting. Cuy Standing, of course, carried off the chief honors of the evening with Chrystal Heme. Edwin Mordant, as Robert Dempster, chief of the Secret Service, gave finished performance.

The other characters, for the most part small and Inconsequential, werg adequately done. It Is hinted that another and more experienced hand put the finishing touches on Mr. Scarborough's play. Be that as It may. In these days of Impossible "subjects" on the stage, both may be congratulated tor their Buccess of omission.

Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, October 8 The moving of the Department of Commerce Into a new building, just accomplished without a hitch, under the superintendence of Sec retary Redfield, has again revived agitation In favor of putlng an end to the policy of renting buildings from private Interests for public purposes. President Wilson's attention bas already been called to the expensive rental system, which has been in vogue here for years, and to the merits of a scheme to have the Government put up a sufficient number of structures to take care of all the ex ecutive departments. Ono proposal Is to have the great ex pense of putting up Government buildings met by a bond issue, at the same time providing for a sinking fund which will ultimately take care of the bonds. Such bonds could be sold at 3 per cent.

The Government now pays a rental to various private owners equivalent to an average of from 5 to 6 per cent, on their Investments. In the case of the now building occupied by the Department of Commerce, the rental represents about 7 per cent, ou the owner's Investment. One source of surprise to most visitors In Washington Is the discovery that so many Government departments and bureaus occupy private buildings. The old Department of Commerce and Labor, now divided into two, never had anything but rented quarters. Kven such great de partments as the Treasury, Stale, War, Navy and Agriculture, while possessing Imposing Government edifices, have for years overflowed into dozens of private buildings.

Thcso Isolated bureaus are scattered all over Washington. There are a number of office buildings in the Cap ital which have never had any tenants except the United States. They were built expressly to be rented to thu Government. While It would require a large outlay of money for the Government to provide quarters for all of Its departments and buresuj. in the long run 11.

would be much cheaper shan paying rent. Tho abolished to make the Brooklyn yard unl-, form with the others. It was felt that particular position could be filled either by one of the assistant superintendents or naval officers." Before the order was Issued abolishing the position of assistant outside superintendent at the Brooklyn yard. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt made a thorough Investigation of the mattor. The position that has just been abolished was held, at the Brooklyn yard, by J.

Williams Wells. There was much speculation at the yard as to why the place was done away with. The above dispatch will make the reason plain. "MRsTklNCAID'S FUNERAL. Dr.

Boynton Pays Glowing Tribute to Church Worker. The funeral of Mrs. Martha C. KIncaid, widow of the Rev. Dr.

William KIncaid. and one of the most nrominent women in the Congregational Church, was held last night at ber late home, 483 Greene avenue. The Rev.

Will iam H. Kincald, of this city. Miss Margaret KIncaid, a granddaughter, and William K. Newman, a grandson. For the last tnlrty years Mrs.

KIncaid has been the State president of the Women's Home Missionary Society. She was born In Illinois in 1843, and was a graduate of Oberlin College. Her husband, the Rev. Dr. William H.

KIncaid, was secretary of tho Home Missionary Socety of the Congregational Church. Mrs. KIncaid died in Syracuse, N. last Sunday, after an 'illness of five months. The members of the Women's Home Missionary Society have planned a memorial service for her, to be hold In the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church.

GUILD TO GIVE A PLAT. "Garibaldi." a play by Salratore Casclo, a member of the Neighborhood Guild, staged by Mrs. Crnlg, directress of the guild, will be given in the Guild Hall. 174 Nassau street, on Wednesday evening, October 15, at 8:30 o'clock. It Is expected that a largo number of those Interested In the guild will bo present.

Open wire work Tidbit Stand heavily plated with Silver. ment of Labor should also move when Secretary Redfield moved his department, three floors in the Commerce Building bo-Ing reserved for Secretary Wilson. But the Labor Department will not move at present uud may never occupy these three floors. A saving of about $39,000 In rental to the Department of Commerce Is Involved In the suggestion that the threo floor be given over to Mr. Redfleid's Census Bureau, which, with the construction of a small addition to the building, can be entirely accommodated.

If the Census Bureau should crowd out the Labor Department the rental of the latter would Increase. The matter was left undecided at the conferenca with the President. One scheme for taking care of Secretary Wilson aud his bureaus is to turn over to them the old building occupied by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which will be vacated within a short time. A handsome new structure, owned by the Government, Is now being completed for the Bureau of Engraving. The Government also owns the present building and for some time there has been discussion concerning the purpose for which it should be used when the paper money printers move out.

Mr. Redfield Finds a Souvenir. Framed on the wall of Secretary Red-field's office In the new Commerce Build ing is an snclent document yellow with ago. The Secretary found it recently in the archives of his department and it bas a peculiar interest for him because the name signed at the bottom of it Is W. C.

Redfield. The Redfield in question was his grandfather, after whom the Secretary was named. The document Is a printed circular, bearing the date is-o, ana is an advertisement of a new line of steamboats running on the Hudson River between New York and Albany. The Secretary's grandfather was agent for the line. His grandson, by virtue of his offli-e, now exercises authority over steamboat Hues all over the States.

The old circular announces rh eotah- Hshment of a regular service on the I Hudson by means of the Steamboat Com merce, which happens to be the name of tho Secretary's department. In thOBO days, passengers were not carried on most of the Hudson River bteambouts, but were accommodated on what were knowu as safety barges, which were towed astern. The advertisement signed by W. C. Redfield fhows a picture of the barge -any i union, being towed astern of the cause It seres the passengers the annoy-, v.

Poller explosions were not infrequent In those days. Secretary Redfield has power to enforce many regulations upon steamboat companies nowadays, but not ono which existed when his grandfather advertised such luxurious river accommodations-That was a ri.qulrcment that the boilers of steamboat.) should he constructed of copper. A steamboat with a copper is an uuknowu thing today. BRA1NERD.

Washington, October 8 "The office of assistant outside superintendent of the ummifHoturiiig dlvli-lon at the Brooklyn Navy Yur i was abolished for the purpose of uniformity at the various yards," said Assistant Secretary Roosevelt today.
