ENTERTAINMENTS.
New Haven Theater.

The next attraction at the New Ha- ven theater on Saturday night this week and at the special matinee Satur- day at which prices will be 25 cents, 50 cents and 75 cents, will be George M. Cohan's great big gigantic musical success, Little Johnny Jones'" No play with musical environment that has been shown to the American theater- going public in the past ten years has been accorded the amount of acclaim that has been shoWered upon this very Imaginable stage creation. MT Cohan has been before the public since child hood, in fact, he was practically born in the theater. His actual stage career, however began at the age of ten, and since he was fifteen years old he has contributed sketches and small plays by the hundred, besides writing in- numerable popular songs; one of the first song successes by the way, is T Guess I'll Have to Telegraph My Ba- by,' and another was Underneath the Blanket of Folding Bed" but it was not until about five years ago that he began to do anything that the public sat up and took notice of. They did. however, when, as one-act play, he offered The Governors Son." It's suc- cess was immediate and positive, so
 
 making it into three-act play, which when produced proved an immediate hit. Then he wrote Running for Off, flee" and found more fame for the Co., han name.
 George M, Conan not only writes all the dialogues of the plays he presents, but he also writes every note of music and all the lyrics for his popular songs, and add to this the fact that he orig mates and devises all of the business and superintends the stage management of his every production, and one can not help but think he is a rather re- markable young man. Mr. Cohan has not yet arrived at his twenty ninth birthday, which, blythe way, is the Fourth of July
 Besides a big and good-looking chor- us Of sixty Voices-real vOices-the Little Johnny Jones" company will be found to include splendid castof prin- eiples, among others Bobby Barry, Tom Lewis, Sam J, Ryan, Jack Raeffel, Frank Montgomery, William Meehan, c. J. Harrington, William Seymour, Tom Penfeld. Edward Sheehan; Ida Mentell, Hazel Lowry Lottie Medley. Adele Rafter and Stella Tracey.
 A most elaborate equipment in the way of scenery and electrical eecfft and some very beautiful costumes are prom ised as an environment to the presenta- tion of Little Johnny Jones' and an augmented orchestra of eighteen pieces will be in evidence Seat sale on Thurs day.

Polrs New Thenter.

Karno's London Sums company pre- sented as headliner at Polls last night "A Night in the Sums of London" and it proved to be the best of the various pantomime numbers presented by this clever Englishman
 Theact is in two scenes. the first showing the east end of London. or what is known as the Whitechapel dis trict. The pranks cut up by the news paper waifs, the enactment of the mur- der in which Bill the Bully takes part the subsequent showing of the cheap lodging house, in which Will Stanley in the character of the Jew is certainly interesting. The entire showing of this English partomime comedy is we'll worth witnessing.
 The pantomine is without doubt one of the most interesting of the headline numbers Manager Poli has presented this season.
 The olio has several conspicuous acts including the Farrel-Taylor trio in lively musical comedy; Estelle Wor- dette and her company ina comedy, "A Honeymoon in the Catskills;" De Faye Sisters in their dainty number, Grand Opera Trio in selections from grand opera, and Gilday and Fox, the Hebrew comedians, and the electrograph with new motion pictures,
 The show will be repeated afternoon and evening during the week.

YALE SMOKING STATUTES.

 cient in Lung Capacity and Height--
 Thirty-five Smokers Above Average in

 Below.
 Professor William G. Anderson of Yale university to-day announced his results obtained from an investigation of smoking among Yale students, the freshman class of year ago being the men examined.
 Is the freshman a cigarette, cigar or pipe smoker?" This query it Is possible to answer.
 There were 3S9 members enrolled in the class of 1909 and of this number 14S were smokers. Of the 14S men, personal interviews were held with 122.
 The result, after examining the pa pers, shows that the selection of the kind of smoking is as follows:
 Pipe only, 95.
 Cigarettes only, z.
 Cigars and cigarettes only, 2.
 Pipe and cigars, 5.
 Pipe and cigarette only, A.
 Pipe, cigars and cigarettes only, r.
 Sworn off, but smoked in prepara- tory school, '.
 A further study of the men who were above and below the average of the class showed that 55 of the smokers were above the average strength test. 54 below: 67 were above the average height, 51 below.
 pr. J. w. seaver, who made care full observations along this line,. found smokers deficient in height and lung capacity.
 IA study of ''academic standing shows that out of 112 cases, 35 smokers were above the average standing of the class, which average, 2.6S, was based upon three sets of examinations taken during the year; 76 were below and one man equalled the average.

 ''The General Electric people were contending that the trolley invention belonged to them by right of purchase H and that 1t was their sole right 10 manufacture 1t. On the other hand the Westinghouse people claimed that the patent had been in public use in Mont gomery for over two years and was therefore an illegal patent. The point involved in the case was this: Was the trolley used in Montgomery pub iicly for two years before the patent was applied for. When the litigation had been in the courts for some time it was developed that the trolley had been used in Montgomery in the neigh { borhood of two years before said pat ent was granted. It had been used either one or two weeks shorter than two years or one week longer than two years. But whether 1t was one week longer or one week shorter the proof could not definitely show.
