After a record of year divided but
between two cities, New York and Chi
cago, George NJ. Cohan's musical play.
Forty five Minutes From Broadway"
is touring the towns of lesser import
ance and will be presented at the Mac
donough Theater, Oakland, all this
week. The tour Is directed by Klaw
& Erlanger, which is an assurance that
the production is as thorough as it can
be made.
Heading the cast IS Corinne, whose
fame as a charming entertainer is ma
tional and who is said to enjoy in the
role of Mary the best and most i'm
portant part that she has played in re-
cent years.
Mr.. Cohan says of "Forty-f1ve Min
utes From Broadway" that, while 1t is
play with music, he has tried to give
It more of a consistently dramatic
character than anything previously
written by him. With this object In
view he has avoided the ordinary run
of conventional stage situations and
climaxes. The play derives its peculiar
title from the fact that its scenes are
laid in New Rochelle, suburb of New
York, and exactly forty-f1ve minutes
by train from Broadway. Unlike Mr..
Cohans previous success, music does
not rule but he has written several
catchy songs, one of which, $50 Long,
Mary" is now famous throughout the
world.
The company contains the usual at
tractive Cohan chorus while the at
traction in every respect can be re-
garded as one of the important offer
ings of the season. It's only engage
ment in this vicinity will be in Oak
land. as it is not booked for San Fran
cisco this season.

James E. Kerr Claims Contract Con
cerning Stock Was Not Kept

James E. Kerr, a broker, has brought
suit for $3.50 against Stauf & Cooper
and Leon Goldman, mining men, whom
he accuses of having secured that
amount from him through fraudulent
representations concerning mining
stock of the Kaiser Goldfeld Mining g
Company. He says that the money has
been appropriated by the defendants to
their own use and that they have failed
to keep their agreement with him.
Kerr sets forth In his complaint that
he paid $3.50 to the defendants as the
purchase price of 5000 shares of stock
in the Kaiser Goldfeld Mining Com
pany at 24A cents a share. He claims
that the defendants agreed that the
stock would be listed at once on the
San Francisco Stock Exchange Board,
and promised him that he would secure
the return of the money invested within
thirty days. Neither Of these events, he
says, has come to pass.

OUGHT TO BE DEFEATED

The municipal campaign in Cleve-
land, o., is attracting more than or
binary attention, because President
Roosevelt has thrown the weight Of his
influence to the republican candidate
in order to defeat Mayor Tom johnson.
Johnson, reputed to be millionaire,
has been heretofore almost invincible
because of his great fight to compel
the street railways of Cleveland to
give a cheaper and better service,
Realizing Johnson's great strength
with the masses, the republicans have
nominated Theodore Burton, one OF
their strongest men and a representa-
tive of the Cleveland district in Con
gress. Burton, who is one of, if moi
the strongest representative Of Ohio
in the lower branch of Congress-, act
ing upon the advice Of President
Roosevelt, accepted the nomination.
This interference of the President
in a purely local election is considered
highly obnoxious by many of the citi
zens of Cleveland and especially il
this true of the colored voters. Bur

against the strongest democrat in tn

Upon the hill where Walden stands
Imposing, grand and bright
'Tis here the colored youth aspires
For nobler deeds to do,
They'll ever be to thee, Walden,
Devoted, staunch and true.
In this our land, and foreign climes,
Thy graduates now dwell,
Of college days and happy hours
With pride and joy they tell.
They live a life of service for
The betterment Of man;
To those adrift upon life's sea
They lend helping hand.
But some that once were bright and

With hearts that teemed with love,
Have finished their work below,
And dwell in realms above.

should have the right to pay their re-
spects of honor to him as the execu-

be debarred from an exercise OF this
privilege, if they so desire it.
This city is called by people in this
section OF the country the Athens of

is the seat Of many notable institutions
Of learning among which are the well.

dreds Of young men and women within
their walls who are being educated and

when they shall have finished and

Will be the home-makers, the educa-

also be contributing indirectly to the
betterment OF the civic life OF the

allowed a student representative to
help make up a citizens delegation or

ing impression for good upon the stu

Yes. 1t would be an impelling incen-

students to act well their part. Ii
would be deserving tribute of good
will toward these institutions which
are doing so much to prepare men and

The city would do itself much credit
to assign a place on It's program for
delegation of some of its worthy
colored citizens to pay their tribute OF
respects to the President. This would

We should not let the opportunity go
