The estate of Mrs. TClennor LivingstonPhelps, wlfo of Charles Harris Phelps, nlawyer, living In I'Hrls, nnd who wasthought to have left botit $1,000,000 Inrenl estate bequeathed to her by herfather, John Augustus pell, nnd hermother, Mrs. Husan Field Pell, was appraised yesterday nt only $33,300. Hernusuund received nothing nnd tho entireestate went to her son, Livingston Phelpsof 1ondon.

The appraisal shows that Mrs. Phelpsdivested herself of all her vnluibln realtynoininga in New York by a series of agree-ments made with her husband In April.1312, by which she nut In trust the following property: IB Pearl street, 30 Stonestreet. 101 Hlxth avenue and and 015Ilroadway. Under tho agreement her htifcband was assured of un Income of 112.000during hla lifetime, and the remainder oftho Income goes to the son, Livingston,during his lifetime. On his death all theproperty goes to his children.

.Mrs. Phelps provided tho $12,000 Incomefor her husband after she had Instituted

suit for divorce abroad nnd had cancelled an agreement setting nsldo half herIncome, amounting to $3K,000 a year, forher husband, nnd had assigned all theproperty to her son. The husband euedIn New York to enforce his right to halfhis wife's Income.

In opposing the proceedings Mrs. PhelpsMid she was compelled to inako thengreement with her hushand ns tho result of fraud. Hhe si Id when she mar-ried Phelps In I87S she' was only 20yearn old, while he was 32 nnd a practlalng lawyer, and that he obtained com-plete control over her. Hhe eald shebecame estranged from her husband InLondon prior to 1 8S S, nnd after he hadstarted habeas corpus proceedings to takeher son away from her she gave himhalf her Income to. be permitted to keepher son. She declared that between 1JS8and ID 10 her husband not pnv got halfbut all her Income and allowed her only$12 a week. The courts held that theagreement was given for valid conslderatlon.

Under the wills of both Mrs. Phelps'smother and father she was to get theirestates only on condition that during thelifetime of her husband she must eitherreside In Europe or travel there con-stantly. Mrs. Phelps observed the condi-tions and made her home In London andParis.

The appraisal shows that tho taxableproperty, valued at $3.1,301, dors not

Mrs. PhcIps'M late residence at 7

Rue de Presbotirg, Paris, or personalproperty there vulued ut H0.O43 francsHer taxable property In New York con-sisted of Mocks and bonds.

When Charles II. Phelps was a freshman at Harvard a number of the sophomores attempted to haze him. While theywere trying to force his door he shot andwounded James J, van Alen.

Robert Housum's farce. "Sylvia RunsAway," has been Impending for severaldays at the Playhouse, and William A.Brady, who selected the drama as a meansof putting forward Alice Brady as aheroine of romedy, had Ine opportunityast night to Invite his nubile to witness

me piuy. Ills victory over the stagulianas who interfered with the performance on the Jersey coast made It possible,for him to move the production of thofarce forward from Thursday, when Itwas to be seen.

Tho little play proved worth while. Mr.Housum shows ublllty In a field In whichAmerican writers are now successful.They have an aptitude for farce. Not allof them Invent the ingenious Ideas ofthe author of "Ofncer fl68" nor do all ofthem develop them so well. Hut thedramatic outlook hre Is most favorableIn this department of th theatre, withmelodrama as perhaps trie other field Inwhich native writers show a promising

lent.Mr. Housum. who Is also a critic of the

drama In a Western town, ha dealt Inhis play with the material which seemsto Inspire hla colleagues: Wall Street,financiering and a hypothesis for thefoundation of his play which It Is ex-tremely difficult to accept- -

There was the customary wall Streettouch in the plight of three young menwho needed $10,000 at once to get themout of a commercial hole too deep forthem. The extravagance of the theme layIn the fact that an heiress who had runaway from home, with the offer of $10,000for her return, should be a maid In thehouse In which these three young menlodged. Then a friend In search of acrystal garer who should tell her thewhereabouts of the missing Rulvia turnedup In th same place and got herself takenfor tho real fugitive.

Th n It all happened. Of course thefriend of fiuli'ln who was not tho missIng. heiress wa held captive with the realrunaway to watch over her while a telegram was sent to her father. The twoacts that followed the introductory partwere filled with the efforts of the girls toget away, their final surrender to the youngmen they had fallen In love with and whohad promptly begun to fall In love withthem anrt the Intrusion of the irate papa,

Just what Sunlay theatregoers are tosee this season for their Sunday nightentertainment has been practically de-

cided through an agreement between ththeatre managers, the Police Department,the bureau nf licenses and the SundayLaw and Order League. Th entertain-ments to make up the Sunday concertwill be grtatly curtailed, but there stillwill be sufficient latitude for a pleasingbill.

Following activity of the clergy InBrooklyn who objected to the class ofentertainment offered on Sunday nlghtaat Ebbets Field by Marcus Loew, thepolice wero stirred to renewed activityand several complaints were made againstvarious managers. Tflbti there fallowed aconference between Crtorge V. Bell, Commissioner of Licenses, and Charles A.Bird, representing the Shuberts; MauriceGoodman and J. J. Maloney, for the Keithand United Booking Office Interests,Loney Haskell, for the ItammerstelnnNate B. SplngoU. for William Morris.Nicholas Schenck, for Marcus loew andWilliam Fox.

A committee consisting of Mr. Goodman, who Is general counsel for the UnitedBooking Ofllces, and a representative OfWilliam Fox was appointed to make ar-rangements with Mr. Bell and the PoliceCommissioner so that the managers wouldknow Just where they stood during thecoming season, which practically opensnext week.

.Many Acta Are Barred.Under date of July 2S. the managers

having agred on the subject, Viotloo wassent to Police Commissioner wooda andLicense Commissioner Bell that tha various managers were wlliltir to eliminate

night bills:Wrestling sets. Klephant rU.Horisomal tar tm. Cat acts.Slncln rlnr acts. Monkey acta.Tnmbllnr sets. Contortion acts.Wire acts. Jurrlinc acts.Trapete sets. Dlcycle-c- t.lMiaiicinr acts. Motorcycle acts.Aerial Phootlnf acts.Oyninantlc Wild West actaAthletic acts. Circus acts,Wood chbpplng acts. fluck sod wlnr dancin;.Dot acta. Wooden ahoe dandnrGourstrisn acts. Welrht lilting actaActs requiring ttihts. Teeth suspension acts.

This list leaves pructicajly nothing buttalking or musical acts such aa

monologues, sketches, musical. Instru-mental and vocal acts, and also ballroomand soft shoe dancing, all being con-sidered uf u quiet and refined character,Tho sketches would permit of tuch actaas offered by Sarah Bernhardt, EthelHarrymore nnd other well known starswho occasionally appear In vaudeville,while the ballroom and soft shoe dancingwould keep such performers aa thoCastles, Adelaide and Hughes, Joan Saw-yer nnd innumerable other modern danc-ing acts within police approval.

Plan Now In Effect.Tho plan submitted by the managers,

It was said yesterday, has met with theapproval of Mr. Woods and Mr. Bell andpractically went Into effect last Sundaynight. So few of the vaudeville andother theatres which give Sunday nightconcerts have opened for the season thatlittle notice was taken of the curtailmentof the bill. It was said that not a slnglviolation of the laws, as they relate toSunday performances, was reported onMonday by the police who visited thetheatres officially.

In submitting their proposition to theauthorities the managers wrote that If

the amusement loving public of New-Yor-

were willing to accept an entertain-ment with less variety the managerswould be only too glad to offer such ashow, as it would cost them less moneybut to be confined to a fewer number ftacta than those left under the proposearrangement would be tantamount toclosing the theatres entirely on Sunday,to over a million people.

Regarding the men who had madetho complaints the managers said thatthey were the same men who had beenmaking similar complaints for about tenyears, and some of tnem tor twenty years.

"They represent the smallest minorityof the public." sa'd the managers. "Theynot only ask for the strict enforcementof the law but threaten the city official!with the dire consequences of their fall,ure to enforce It strictly. They are wellIntentloned gentlemen, but are unar.qualnted with the o ty. with popular ne-

cessities and public opinion."The manigers argued further that they

were entitled to liberal consideration be-

cause owing to the large cost of the-

atrical talent 'he Sunday show was apositive financial necessity.
