COURT DECIDES IN FAVOR
OF THEATRICAL MANAGERS
Production of Shnw's Play sMrs. War-
ren's Profession" Is Not In
Violation of Penal Code.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The production
of George Bernard Shaw's play Mrs.
Warren's Profession" in this city dur
Ing the last theatrical season was not
a violation of the Penal Code, accord
ing TO a decision handed down by the
Justices of the Court of Special Sessions
today. The decision was given in the
cases of Arnold Daily and Samuel Gum
pertz, who were arrested at the time
the play was ordered discontinued by
the Police Commissioner. The two de-
PENDANTS are acquitted by the decision
announced today.
The court rules that there Is nothing
in the words themselves. or In any par
ticular phrase or expression in the play
which can be said TO be indecent. The
decision goes on:
While the court may hold a decided
play as a stage production when 1t
comes to consider a question of crfmf-
nality of the acts of these defendants
in publicly producing IL. 1t must make
applicat ation OF the principle OF law laid
down by the Court of Appeals as the
test of criminality. Making such ap-
plicatfon in the case at bar, IL appears
that instead of exciting impure inagi-
nation in the mind OF the spectator.
that which Is really excited is disgust;
that the unlovely, the repellant, the
cessories to the main purpose OF the
drama, which Is an attack on certain
social conditions relating TO the en-
ployment of women, which. the dramat-
ist believes, as do many others with
him, should be reformed.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.

WASHINGTON, July s.-war has
broken out in San Domingo. accord
ing to information given out by the
State Department. and 1t Is said that
the increase of the naval forces In
those waters is fully justified. The in
formation regarding the war came
from Commander Switzerland. at
Monte Christi, in cable late this aft
ernoon to the Navy Department.
There is an intimation in certain
diplomatic quarters that the adminis
tration finds in it's present revolution
ary outbreak, small as 1t Is, a seeming
Justification for it's policy OF a financial
protectorate over the republic. At the
State Department, however, there Is
neither confirmation nor denial OF this
story.
In regard to the number of ships en-
ployed on the station. ten are there
now, with two more to be added, the
Columbia and the Mayhower. 1t is said
officially that, although the number may
seem to be excessive, they are all
really needed and will remain there
indefinitely. 1t is also admitted that,
should the~revolutionists gain a vic
tory over the de facto Government and
themselves become the Government
demanding the surrender of the funds
now accumulated in New York, just as
the present government mas ALREADY
served notice that 1t would like the
money for distribution among its cred
itors, the situation might become very
embarrassing for the United States.
The theory advanced by officials is
that this country has undertaken the
collection of money for the benefit Of
foreign creditors without the sanction
of Congress, and that the latter, hav-
ing refused TO act upon the matter at
he la at he ~ 1f
is, therefore, not IN a position either to
refund the money to the Government
OF San Domingo whatever 1t may
chance to be at the time. or to distrib-
ute the funds among the creditors for
whom 1t was originally collected.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 6.-Generai
Trepoff, comnandant OF the imperial
Palace, was interviewed at Peterhof
this evening regarding the situation
in Russia. The train on which the
correspondent went to Peterhof was
full OF troops and the little town
swarmed with soldiers. General Tre-
poff's house was guarded by armed
police, a necessary precaution. mas
much as the general is the best-hated
man by the revolutfonists. who make
no secret of their intention Of assass-

Talking of the general position OF

the extremists, who would then take
their proper places In the political

that only political interests are repre-

ELkINS REBATING ACT
INTERPRETED BY COURT
Federal Judge Rules that Congress.
Did Not Intend to Imprison
Violators of Law.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Judge Holt. in
the United States Circuit Court today,
handed down an opinion the effect of
which is to dismiss the indictments
found against Nathan Guilford, vice
president, and c. F. s. Pomeroy, traffic
manager of the New York Central, and
c. +. Edgar and Edwin Earle, the latter
sugar merchants of Detroit, charging
them with conspiracy to violate the
provisions of the Elkins rebating act,
punishable by Imprisonment. The
court, however. holds that the indict-
ments against the New York Central
road. Guilford and Pomeroy found un-
der the Elkins act are good and sus-
tains them so far as they are punish
able by fine.
In sustaining the demurrer to the
other indictments the court holds that
Congress did not intend violations Of
the Elkins law to be punishable by i'm
prisonment.
Judge Holt further holds that the
amendment to the Elkins act provid-
ing punishment by imprisonment was
not retroactive, and therefore could
not include the men charged with con-
spiracy.

pany, Jointly indicted with the New
York Central, pleaded not guilty, but

ment. preferring evidently to stand

distinct crimes, one for conspiring to
commit an offense against the Govern

commission OF that offense. The con-
spiracy indictment was returned under

this decision Judge Holt merely holds
that Congress did not intend violation
of the Elkins act should be punished
with imprisonment and throws out that
indictment. The indictments returned
