T Margaret IiUlneton In "The Lie."
One of the greatest successes of the
past season .in New York City was
Miss Margaret Illington's production
of Henry Arthur Jones' virile and
human play, J'The Lie," at the Harris
theater, where it ran the entire year.
In this play, the noted actress is said
to be seen at her best, giving a per
formance In which she displays not
alone her wonderful emotional powers
but also one In which she is sure and
real. Henry Arthur Jones has long
been recognized as one of the master
playwrights in the English language
and he has never furnished a mora
striking example of compact dramatic
construction than in this play.; Its
action moves swiftly, , smoothly and
logically to climax and catastrophe.

Portugal owns a territory three
miles square and about 80,000 people
live here under Portuguese jurisdic

contention that it also controls the
entire harbor and has jurisdiction to
the opposite side of the bay. The
Chinese contention is that China nnd
Portugal have Joint control of the en-
tiro harbor.

ance. Portuguese policemen went to
the assistance of the woman, whose
boat lay close to the Chinese shore.
It was necessary to discharge some
shots to quiet the row. The shooting
attracted Chinese soldiers, who ar
rested the Portuguese policemen for
the use of firearms and put them in
jail. The policemen were finally re
leased, but not until the Portuguese
officials had made emphatic demands.
Several days later a Chinese gun
boat entered the harbor, destined for
a fort on Chinese territory. A Portu
guese gunboat fired a signal for the
Chincso boat to stop and make a re
port, but instead of stopping the
Chinese gunboat answered the shot
and drove away a number of small
launches, which began firing at it.
Nobody was hurt in the brush, but it
caused much excitement among the
Portuguese and the governor of Ma

in the settlement and made arrange
