AMUSEMENT

The Edwards-Davis Company has sur passed itself in the production of last night Every member of the company seemed by nature cast for the part DOT trayed and the play went with applause and laughter from curtain rise to fall. "The Circus Girl'' is not time-worn com edy but one whose lines and situations are so new as to be constantly sparkling and refreshing. The play was originally pre- scented three years ago in the Globe the- atef of London and the Daily stage in New York. In the piece Roland Reed made his first marked success. In this company the male comedy part was played by the pop ular actor MT. Earl P Adams, with an easy, glib nonchalant fashion that was engaging In the dude part Mr. Frank Hall was ludicrously good, and won many rounds of laughter The old woman char acter part was played by Mrs. Hammett, who has for several years been recognized as one of the best character women in the country. and she sustained her reputatio Especial mention should be made of Mar saret Kingore in the title role, who played The difficult part with brilliency and stunning beauty, a charm of demeanor and bearing that was actually infatuating She wore gown that was in hue and cut both true to the dashing character, and yet wholly within the conventional Such daring in dress and portrayal of a part will certainly soon place Miss Kingore in the highest rank of American actresses Altogether this company is star attrac- tion of the South.

by Saunders as we'll When the case came

ford called Attorney Buddress to the bar
and addressed him:
"Mr. Buddress," said the court, 'in view
of your remarkable opening statement in
this case and your admission on the wit
ness stand that you concealed this sup
posed forgery from officers of the United
States government until such time as a
criminal prosecution could not be instituted
against the man whom you supposed had
committed the forgery, l have ordered a
transcript of your testimony to be taken,
and when 1t is filed / shall direct the
United States attorney to file an informa-
ton upon which / will issue an order cit
ing you to show cause why you should not
be disbarred as an attorney of this court"
Buddress made no reply, and court adj
journed. The verdict of the jury being
practically a finding that Eldridge had
sworn falsely when he denied signing the
bond, caused Mr.. Gay to take the step of
having Eldridge arrested. A warrant was
sworn out late in the evening before Unit

Duddress ON the stand.
Buddress was the principal witness on
behalf OF Eidridge, as well as his attor-
ney He went on the stand to tell why
Eldridge had kept secret for 80 long the
fact that he did not authorize his signature
to Saunders bond. Biiddress testified that
when suit was first instituted against FL
bridge the latter came to him and toid
him that his signature was a forgery;
that he told Eldridge TO say nothing about
IL, and that they would Try to defeat the
claim first on some other ground. Mr..
Buddress then went on to admit that FOR
month after month he had fought the case
by dilatory tactics, stating that his pur-
pose in doing so was to postpone the Tor
gerry defense until such time as GRIM
inal prosecution against Saunders for Tor
gerry would outlaw. This time came last
July, and shortly thereafter, he said, he
filed the famous answer In which FL
bridge set up that he had not signed the
bond Buddress admitted that during this
time he had never told Saunders OF the
forgery or that he was protecting MIN
from a criminal prosecution.
While Buddress was on the witness
stand Judge Hanford, in a tone OF sur
prise, asked him IL he was still claiming to
act as attorney for Saunders. when as
matter of fact he was setting up the
gerry. Buddress replied that he was still
fighting the claim OF the government
against Saunders. On cross-examination
Buddress admitted having deceived the

A GOOD LAW STANDS
SUPREME COURT SAYS RAIL
ROADS MUST CONNECT.
REASONABLE REGULATION
Federal Court Sustains the Decision
Of the Minnesota Court in a Con-
tention of Very Wide Interest to
the General PubIic-No Violation
of constitutional! Amendment.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The supreme
court has affirmed the supreme court
of Minnesota in the case of the Wis
consin, Minnesota & Pacific Railway
company against Jacob F. Jacobson,
involving the constitutionality of the
state law providing that where roads
cross each other at grades, suitable
connections shall be made.
The case is known in Minnesota as
the "Y' case. 1t involves directly
the construction of connection at Han
ley Falls, Mimi, but bears on all sim
liar matters. The opinion was deliv-
cred by Justice Peckham He said in
part:
Plaintiff alleges among other mat
tiers that to construct a connecting
track would require the company to
go outside it's right of way and to
condemn land for that purpose. 1t
was also alleged that to compel the
companies to make such connection
would violate the commerce clause
and also the fourteenth amendment of
the federal constitution. We think
this case a reasonable exercise of
power of regulation nfavor of the in
terests and for the accommodation of
the public and that it does not duly,
unfairly or improperly affect the Pc
cuniary rights of interests of the
plaintiff. 1t is unnecessary in this
case to determine question of valid
ity of the whole act with regard to all
it's details. We simply here determine
that the judgment actually rendered,
directing the track connection to be
made and thus affording track facili-
ties at Hanley does not violate the
constitutional right of the plaintiff
The judgment of the supreme court
of Minnesota is therefore affirmed"
