Mr. Cooper, private secretary to the
governor, declared the executive deemed
it unwise to interfere with the ministerial
actions and duties, questioned whether
IL was good policy at this time to sus-
pend attachments and executions, and
was opposed to enlarging the work of
the legislature, as had already been told
to the senate committee by the governor
himself.
"Its a question: said Mr.. Cooper,
"shaIl the legislature enlarge the right
and duty of courts and give them ex-
traordinary power to sit upon holidays,
or shall We do nothing?
"Then you must legislate to protect the
interests of other people and interests as
we'll as the banks" declared Mr.. Cooper.
At o'clock in the afternoon the COM
mittee again met and on motion of Mr..
Hewitt went into executive session until
after o'clock. Chairman Johnson then

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE NAMES
SUB BODIES TO DECIDE ON
UTILITY OF HOLIDAY BILLS
BY Associated Press.

by Associated FfeSS.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 21.-Failing to
reach any conclusion on the holiday ques-
tion at meeting four hours long yes
resentatives of the leading banks and
trust companies in the state and of the
clearing houses of San Francisco and Los
Angeles who were present in response
to invitations for their views, the as
sembly judiciary committee met at 8
o'clock this morning to again take up the
problem. 1t adjourned at 11:30 o'clock
ur til this afternoon without accomplish
ing anything and apparently hopelessly
divided in opinions as to what proper
legislation can be, or shall be, enacted
to enable the superior courts to resume
and yet protect financial interests.
There were present besides the full
committee under Grove L. Johnson as
chairman, Attorney General Webb, L. c.
Cooper, the governors private secretary,
z. S. Heller, representing the San Fran
cisco clearing house, Code Commits sioner
]. w. Wiley, L. T. Hatfield, representing
the Sacramento banks, besides other
learned lawyers 1t was the consensus
of opinion freely expressed that writs of
attachment can issue on the holidays
proclaimed by Governor Gilett against
banks, and other business or person.
Code Commissioner Wiley maintained
that suits against banks could not be
brought without demand for the money
deposited and that such demand could
not be made on holidays, hence the holi-
days protected the banks.
Attorney General Webb was of the
opinion that suspension of writs of at
tachment was "a ministerial act" and
was not included in the governors proc
lamation, hence could not be legislated

The Hyperion opens the New Year
auspiciously, at least from an artistic
point of view, by presenting Mr.. John
E. Kellerd in Hamlet" tonight. This
role seems to be the natural goal for
which every legitimate actor strives,
and one which, sad to say, but few of
them reach. 1t augurs exceedingly
well for Mr.. Kellerd's future in the part
that the three citiss in which he has
essayed the role that the critics have
been very generous in their praise. Ma
ture has fitted him well for the char
acter, endowing him with a strong and
mobile countenance, manly figure and
bearing as we'll as that most invaluable
adjunct of a Shakespearean actor, a
rich and musical voice. His diction is
admirable, and his reading of the linss

B,,ou Thenter.

The beautiful story Of the south. 1.-THE
Belle of Richmond" yesterday opensd
for the week at the Bijou to capacity
audiences Admission was absolutely
refused to the gallery, and on the floor
there was standing room only, 1t is
a play that appeals to all classes Of
There has not been
prettier play presented by the stock
company this season.
The pieee is from the pen Of Sidney
r. Toler, and is in four acts. 1t is
laid entirely in Richmond, Va, and is
written around the love story of a
beautiful rose of old Virginia, Nellie
Mason, the Belle of Richmond" 1t
tells the story of heart that Is brok-
en through a servants mistake, of the
falsity of man, of his uncovering
and Of true friendship which enabled
him to escape a felon's cell. And it
tells the story Of wrong righted and
broken heart healed.
The play has running through 1t a
deep, pathetic story, yet it is not with
out its humor, and the lines afford sew
eral situations which are genuinely hui
morous. There is the old colored SER
want, played by Harry Langdon, who
after the fashion of many family heir
looms in southern homes, holds a place
in the family known only to servants
serving their lifetime in the same fam
lily. This character furnishes much of
the comedy Of the play.
The title role is played by Gertrude
Shipman. She is we'll fitted for the part
and uses the soft southern accent, as
if she had known it all her life. Too
much cannot be said of the work of
Miss Shipman in this role, 1t Is one
of those characters in which those who
admire her work like to see her best.
1t gives room for a full play of her
powers of emotion. In the final act

the pretty manner in which she told
