iris is the roll of honor for the week
at the Grand opera house. The other
members Of the Ulrich stock company
do not distinguish themselves beyond
their ordinary performance, but 10
these four belongs the credit OF pre-
senting difficult play in distinctive
manner.
How Hearts Are Broken" is the tale
of a deserted wife and babe. 1t is an
intricate plot. and could easily have
been made blurred mass OF inconse-
ouential incidents that somehow
righted themselves in the last act, afteI
the manner Of melodramas. But the
acting of the four saved it from that
fate and made it a real play.
Blind Bill, the fiddler, believes that
Mona has murdered her child. He
seizes the hand of the guilty person,
who manages to elude him. Then her
actions convince him that Mona is
guilty He tells his tale at her trial,
and she Is all but convicted. Leslle
King makes the grief of the old blind
fiddler almost Warlieldian in it's inten-
sity. Mona is the daughter of his old
comrade, and his story means death or
Imprisonment for her. Yet he must tell
the tale-the judge so orders Then
comes the aged mother; after many op-
jections by the prosecutor, her EVIL
dence is taken. To shield her child, she
swears that she took the babe from Its
cradle and hurled it into the storm

guilt which she believes is her daugh-

private life Mrs. Frank Frayne. She
is an actress.
This is surely emotion, yet it is as
nothing to the fierce storm Of Mona
Fancher's passion. She Is bereft of her
child and even her mother believes
her guilty of its death. She prays for
condemnation as means OF reunion
with the loved babe. And Florence
Barker was equal to the part. AT times
there were real tears In many eyes that
watched her. It Is no small matter tc
move q Los Angeles audience to the
sobbing point.
To Charles Gum fell the only smil-
ing role in the play. He moves through
the scenes the emblem of judicial WIS
dom and great heartedness In con-
trast to the others he seems less of ar
actor because it is his part to be calm
where they are frenzied with grleI

climax to the play.
1t Is not always easy to criticise th
offerings of the Ulrich company. The
are not always good; sometimes the
are far in the other direction. But Il
this instance, so far at any rate as tn
principals are concerned, there is moth

RELIEF FROM HIGH EXCESS RATE
Travelling Men Seek Relief From Com
mission.

The travelling men of Georgia are ex-
periencing new hardship in the re-
quirements of the railroads as to excess
baggage. Where the trip is over more
than a line, the passenger with excess
baggage is required to recheck it at
each junction point, and charged To-
cal tariff in each case, the total of
which is in excess of the through rate.
This matter has been brought to the at
tention of the railroad commission liz
a letter written by Mr.. Lawson Staple
ton, of Americus, to Commissioner O.
b. Stevens. The commission has es-
tablished rates on excess baggage, but
they apply to each line separately aud
not to two or more lines participating
in the same haul. The question will
come up, therefore as a new one for the
commissions consideration.

FIGHTING THE
BIG TRUSTS.
Publicity Strongest Weapon
Sec. StrauS Says.
ALL BUT STANDARD OIL QUAIL
Department of Commerce and Labor
Brings Great Metropolis to Bay
by Threats of Giving to
World Their Secrets.

Washington, D. G. June 12.-Secre-
tary of Commerce andl Labor Straus
has made public many of the secrets of
the corporations with which his bureau
has to deal. They include the tobacco
trust, the lumber trust of the North
west, the Standard Oil, the United
States Steel Corporation, canals, cotton
exchanges, coastwise navigation, and
other enterprises.
The secretary says that publicity is
the great deterrent of violation of law
by corporations. He claims boldly this
heresy of printing the secrets of privil-
ege and power, but what is more he
has the authority to do it and is still
doing it. One of the subsidiary
branches of tue Department of Com
merce and Labor is the Bureau of Cor
porations, the inquisltion of the govern
ment. The grand inquisitor of this
modern tribunal is Oscar S. Straus; his
principal aid is Herbert Knox Smith,
Commissioner of Corporations; his rack
of torture is that new terror-publicity
Work Corpor ,tion Bureau.
Mr.. Straus gave the following out
line of his work and his aims:
1.-The Bureau of Corportions has di-
rect supervision over the rgreat enter
prises o. this county. 1t can inquire in
to their secrets, examine their books,
and expose the evils they practice. It's
authority is unlimited and unquestion-
ed
Yet this bureau is not designed for
destructive purposes. 1t does not seek
of trade and commerce, except in so far
as they are violating the law and are
themselves destrOyers of equal oppor-
tunity. Rather it's mission is construc-
tive, helping to build up more and
greater business on the basis of equali-
ty, of opportunity and observance ofthe
law by all alike.
The mere fact that this department
possesses the power to investigate, and
the knowledge among corporations that
exposure through publicity is certain,
have served to change violators of law
into observers of law without the neces-
sity of prosecution. The spirit of vol
untary corrections prevailing in many
places.

whom the verdict was rendered rs Mr.
r. S. Broadhurst, who several years

The contention of the plaintiff was in
substance that this money had never
been paid over to Mrs. Doughtie and
was still in possession of the defendant,
Mr.. r. L. Broadhurst.
This was denied by defendant, who
submitted documentary evidence to
prove the assertion that he had settled
in full with Mrs. Doughtie. The trial
of the case was largely one of fact, and
has aroused a great deal of interest
