EXEMPT FROM INJUNCTION.
Judge Holt Decides an Important Case
Involving Puerto Rican Franchises.

san Juan, Feb. l6.-Judgo William
r. Holt, United States district Judge
for the district Of Puerto Rico, has de.
cided that the executive council Of Puer.
10 Rico Is not more subject % injunc-
tion than the senate Of the United
States. This decision was given in
test case where the Usem brothers Of
Ponce proceeded against the executive
council aud W $ n Lothrop and ap-
piled for an injunction restraining Mr..
Lothrop from working under trolley
franchise in Ponce granted in January,
the Usem brothers claiming certain
vested rights which the franchise VIC.
lated.
The application for the injunction
was denied on two grounds, first that
the executive council is Legislative
body. even when dealing with fran.
chises over which il has jurisdiction Of
the house Of delegates. and second. that
vested rights did not exist before the
American occupation.
The Usen brothers viii appeal 10 the
supreme court against the order deny.
ing the injunction. The final injunc-
tion is awaited with interest by many
disappointed investors The matter is
important 10 franchise seekers as IL
touches all grants made by the council.

THEATRICAL BUSINESS.
Dramatic Managers to Attract

The business of the claque has
been subdivided into many branches
all OF which are controlled by one
man or group of men, says Chambers
Journal. The applauders the
lady in the box who faints. and the
man who Kisses at a good part in
order to arouse the indignant en-
thusiasm of the audience-were all
provided for so many tickets a per-
formance. to be sold by agents to
the public So carefully were the
plans Of campaign thought out that
the Whiteley Of applause used to pro-
vide a man or woman, dressed in pro-
vincial style, to jump up and scream
out: There's the villain hiding be-
hind that tree" Or the like. We also
hear of cowboys in the far west pull
ing out their revokers and pepper
ing the melodramatic villain.
On one occasion in a London thea
ter the business instinct came out
in the same way. a relative of the
lessee was enacting the part of an
indignant father whose son had got
into the hands of the money lend
ers. In the interview with the money
lender the father severely lectured
him, and then demanded his sons
bill. There, sir" he said. "is my
check for thousand pounds" The
money lender was just reaching out
for the check when voice came
from the pit: "Don't you take IT, old
chap. I've got one of his now for
six pound ten, and he's asked me to
hold il for q fortnight"
