County Court
The San Francisco call., 1908-09-29
By Walter Anthony

The Girl Questions" twin sister. OF
sisters rather, arrived last night at the
Van Ness theater in another Broadway
show. The Time. the Place and the
Girl"
The reviewers task is difficult in the
face of such a performance that of
last night, for one cannot forever be
saying the same thing over again in
different way, and musical comedy
if it really is a musical comedy
is a musical comedy. and that's about
all there is to it unless it is a musical
play. which is the same thing only a
little different.
The Time. the Place and the Girl
is a musical play. 1t has a story or
two. some heart interest and a comedy
couple; but principally it has a chorus
and John Z. Young, slang comedian
and chief butcher of English.
Young is new to San Francisco; or
was new last night. But the show
woke up when he blew in 1t had
gone a little slowly until then, as a we'll
hammered play should in order to give
its star a chance TO shine. Young did.
His first speech relating to matrimony
and the way to manage a wife was.
in Young's own parlance, a long, loud
scream. Thereafter there was no dull
ness in the play except once when
Margaret, the soubrette, who signs her
name Lillian Goldsmith on the program,
essayed a song. Otherwise the SOU
brette was acceptable enough with her
shrill, piping little voice and consid-
cradle grace.
You have never seen anything better
of its kind-than the finale of the
second act, which troops all the girls
on the stage, and the chorusmen. too.
though nobody notices them. The cos
tuning is gorgeous and the singing
and dancing is finished and nimble.
Some novelty business is introduced
with tambourines and bones" and the
act ends with a well arranged riot of
color and sound
John Z. Young's conception of the
role Of the gambler is from Nevada and
New York. He has the spirit and the
walk and the talk of the square
sport" and his humor is convincingly
hearty. OF course, he falls in love
with a beautiful girl. and she is that
at least, she being Elizabeth Goodall,
who plays the head nurse at Sana-
torium What sentimental business
she has to transact is done with pretty
sincerity and a mixture of sophisticated
banter. Mabel Melvin is a widow, Mrs.
Talcott, stopping at the rest cure home,
and is statuesquely graceful and anna
zonian. AS in the preceding play, the
company - not particularly strong in
voices, bat collectively does excellent
ensemble work under a firm baton. The
piece is of the best of its kind and is
busy all the time.

KANSAS CITY MAN is
SOUGHT BY DETECTIVES
j. c. Frey Alleged to Be Wanted
on Charges of Defraud-
ing Hotels

Kansas City detectives have been
securing the hotels of the bay cities
for ]. c. Frey of st. Louis, who is
wanted, it is reported, in number
of cities for Systematically defraud-
ing hotel keepers. Frey was in this
city about three weeks ago and stayed
at the st. Francis. He carried little
baggage. and to insure itself against
possible loss, the management request
ed that he settle with the cashier. The
amount then due was s35 Frey begged
leave for time and it was granted
1t is said that he gave the name
of Charles Weymouth & Co. of Sacra-
mento as a guarantee of his capa bility
of meeting his expenses, but this firm
refused to acknowledge responsibility.
Frey. however, settled with the st.
Francis and left the hotel, presumably
to take up his abode in Oakland.
His father. who died a short time
ago, was a prominent railroad official.
and the son, through the assistance
of his mother, engaged in the hotel
business.
The visiting detectives declare that
he has made wholesale practice of
eluding payment of his hotel bills. and
that there await him number of
charges Of defrauding an inn keeper.

Medical Scientists From Every
Civilized Nation Assemble to
Discuss tuberculosis

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-Medical
scientists representing every civilized
nation united today with their brothers
in America in an effort to solve the
problem of how best to cope with
tuberculosis. The occasion was the
official opening of the sixth triennial
congress on tuberculosis. The great
auditorium of the new National mu-
scum was filled with men who have
consecrated their best talents to the
study of tuberculosis. representatives
of the sovereigns of foreign countries
and high officials of government. When
Secretary of the Treasury Cortely you,
as the personal representative of the
president of the United States, Off
cially declared the congress open there
were grouped on the platform such
distin guished men as Dr. Robert Koch.
discoverer of the tubercular bacilli; DIR.
A. Calmette of Paris DR.. r. w. Philip
of Edinburgh, founder of the first tu-
berculosis dispensary; DIR. Simon Won
Unterberger. honorary physician to his
majesty's court of st. Petersburg, and
many others. Among the members OF
the diplomatic corps present was WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese minister.
When DIR. Koch arose to respond in
behalf of the German government there
was remarkable demonstration in his
honor, men and women waving hats and
handkerchiefs for nearly five minutes.
The official welcome on behalf of
the United States government was ex-
tended by Secretary Cortelyou. Then
followed the response of the official
representatives of 80 foreign countries.
When his name was called. DIR. Koch
declared that the German takes a par
ticular interest in all that tends to the
solution of the tuberculosis problem
and that his government would watch
with the keenest interest the delibera-
tions of this congress. The tubercu-
losis situation in Germany has become
distinctly favorable through the last
three decades, the mortality from tu-
berculosis in Prussia having been re-
duced practically one-half.
I'VE are active in trying not only to
maintain but enhance the diminution, .
said the speaker. For a more thor
ough study of tuberculosis in all it's
aspects and in order to find new ways
tuberculosis, the Robert Koch stiftung
has been created. All nations, he
added, would be benefited by the work
of that institution.
DIR. Lee, the Chinese delegate, de-
clared that notwithstanding tubercu-
losis has strong hold upon his coun-
try his government was doing little
for the prevention of the disease. He
expressed the hope that the next con-
gress would be held in China.
AT the conclusion of the responses to
Secretary Cortelyou's address. the con
gress adjourned and will not again
meet in general session until October
3. The afternoon was devoted to the
deliberations of the various sectional
meetings, where number of addresses
were made.

cess last night, was so dashing and so
romantic an Irish soldier of fortune
that he would have carried through

brought him all he deserved in the way
of applause. In his songs he was
lucky, for they had plenty of melody
along with the catchy element which
has become SO necessary in modern
light stage music. The melody made
them of the sort that one is apt to
hum or whistle for several weeks after
he has heard the tune.
1t was pretty production, roman
tic musical play is what they call it.
That is a queer mixture-some good
dialogue with lots of comedy and a
thread of romance; then several of the
elements of the musical comedy, in
cluding the chorus. And this was very
good last night The chorus got a
good chance both in costuming and in
songs. 1t was both pretty and melo-
dious.
OF the comedians, Ferris Hartman
was happy as ever over his work and
so made every one who heard him
ready to chuckle from the first. Fred
Kavanaugh as Lord Kilkenny and Wal
ter de Leon as Toby were both funny
And Zoe Barnett as Dolly Primrose was
an adorable little barmaid.
Sybil Page and Christina Nielsen both
sang well and at the same time handled
dialogue parts nicely, (which many who
sing well can not do. In spite of this
queer mixture, where regulation dia-
logue stops suddenly for music. with a
thread of plot which the regular mu-
steal comedy has net, the production
carried its feeling right through It's
amusement with its vein Of romance
and the feeling which its music
brought. 1t was a pretty thing and
the audience liked it.

The Western distilleries company
was yesterday denied an injunction to
restrain the internal revenue officials
from compelling the company to mark
all distilled spirits alcohol" The de-
cision was rendered in the United
States circuit court.
According to the new regulations OF
the internal revenue department all dis
titled spirits must be marked as alco-
hol The local company sought to en-
join the internal revenue officers from
enforcing the regulation.
1t was set forth in the application for
the injunction that a rival concern in
Ohio had been granted an Injunction
against the internal revenue officials

on the part of the federal court in this
state to issue a restraining order would
be a great hardship to the petitioner

Of Attorney Cramer b. Morris on the
charge Of enbezzlement. The charge

WHO gave attorney Morris $4,000 to

Startling developments have occurred
IN the case of Attorney Morris. who
has disappeared. SO far as can be
discovered today there is at least s17,-
600 owing TO persons who trusted him
with their money to make safe invest
ments.
That they have been slow to awaken
10 the possibilities that the attorney
might have gone away for good is
due TO the remarkable confidence which
these clients .reposed in him. They ac-
cepted his word with the interest he
paid them regularly, and never took

Among those who had loaned money
through Morris and who received in

houser, Mrs Knight, Mrs. Kramer of
San Bernardino and Mrs. Marshall of

against Norris of about $500 and there
are others.
The first woman to be aroused by the
situation was Mrs. Amy ID. Kramer. a
young widow who fled attachments

A few days before his departure
Norris tried 10 negotiate a peculiar in
