'OIL' DECISION

APPLAUDS JUDGE GR0SScUP'S

Railroad Msenate Offers Suggestion

Ry Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK. July 2s.-Concerning
the Standard Oil decision George j.
Gould has expressed unqualified salts
faction.
Il think" said Mr.. Gould, that
marks the turn in the business situ-
alton. Looking at 1t from the stand
point of railroad credit nothing does
more to hurt this credit abroad than
the huge fine assessed by Judge Lam
dis. The foreign investor felt that
at any time his property might be con-
fiscated through no fault of his own.
Judge Grosscup's decision again az
firmed the American motto of fair
play"
Mr.. Gould added that he thought
the one to answe- for corporation mis-
deeds was some one individual, not
the innocent stockholders.
1t was reported today that following
Mr.. Gould's return there Will be a
series of conferences between repre-
sentatives of the Could interests, E.
II. Hartman and Kuhn, Loeb d Co.,
and that as a result the Gould roads
will receive strong financial support
and Mr.. Hartman and Kuhn, Loep q
90 will have a share In the manage
ment OF the Gould system. Negotla-
tions looking to that end are said 70
have taken place before Mr.. Gould
went abroad.

SUES FOR $50 BOARD
BILL FOR DOG KEPT BY
WOMAN FOUR MONTHS
Los Angeles Judge Must Decide Diff
cult Problem Involved In Odd
Case to Be Tried Be-
fore Him

What is the legitimate price that
should be charged for the boarding,
rooming and frills of q dog?
Not common, "ornery'' cur, whose
commissary departments are hidden
under a few inches of soil in numerous
backyards, but canine of royal blood,
albeit repugnant of countenance.
The question must be decided by JUS
tice Stephens, in whose court a COM
plant yesterday was filed by Mrs. Auda
D. Johnson against Mrs. Eva Guder-
yohn, in which she demands $50 for the
care, keep and board of a Boston ter
rier named Royal"
For four months Mrs. johnson has
tickled the palate of Royal with deli
cious morsels, bathed him with sweet
scented waters and kept the omnipres-
ent and disturbing flea at a safe dis
tance.
Twenty dollars a month, Mrs. John
son believes, is little enough to charge
for her labors.

GIRL PROPOSES AND IS
ACCEPTED; THEY'RE WED
Mailed Her Offer of Marriage for Fear
she Might Pop the Question
to the Wrong
Twin

ST LOUIS, July 2S.-1-rs. Edna
Conner Hale, East Alton leapNyear
bride proposed by letter because she
was afraid that If she asked l.. n.
Hale to his face to be hers sne mlshl
discover that she had not popped Ile
question to L. H. Hale at ALL out TO
Hale's twin brother, ~,
The Hale brothers look so much anKe
that when they are together it Is haro
to tell which is the other ana When
they are separated it is hard 10 tell
them apart.
Miss Cooner did not want to go to
all the trouble of asking man to be
her husband only to find out that she
had asked the wrong man, because In
that case she would have TO do the
work ali over again. But she was con-
fident that q letter addressed to l.. II.
Hale would reach the right spot.
Model Leap Year Proposal
So she took her pen in hand and
wrote like this:
'Dear Mr.. Hale: Will you permit me
to express to you the deep respect ana
esteem which 1 feel for you, ana 10
ask YOU, for the sake of our past nap
piness, to become my husband? nave
long wished to express this desire, out
mad NOT Lle COuIdSC. MY AoFS 40 o. -
indeed, and since it is for you only l
feel that we could live long and
happy life together Hoping for an
early reply, I remain,
YOUR SWEETHEART"
The right Hale got it. When he called
that evening he said something about
it being so sudden, blushed prettily
and whispered Yes"
Told Secret to Best Friend
And so they were married. That was
a week ago at the new Baptist church
in East Alton. The Rev. A. w. Judd of
Bunker Hill said the ceremony in the
presence of a large number of their
relatives and friends, none of whom
knew that it was a real leap year af-
fair. After the wedding the happy
bride told her best girl friend about it,,
with a strict injunction not to tell any
body That is how everybody heard
of it.
Miss Cooper was a school teacher be-
fore she turned her attention to WOO
ing. She gave up her position in the
East Alton schools last spring.
The couple have returned from a
visit to Mr. Hale's parents at l1ldo-
rado, Ill, and have gone to hGusekeep-
ing in a cottage in East Alton.

and there are defects for which the
actress should not be held responsible.
Her voice, for instance, is lily suited
to emotional work. On the whole,
however her playing of the part is
distinctly praiseworthy. Incidentally
Glory's hair and Glory's costumes, par
ticularly the costume of the final
act, are vastly becoming to their
wearer.
Richard Vivian gives us a meritori-
GUS handling of Horatio Drake; Harry
Glazier is good in the badness of Lord
Robert Ure; Charles Ruggles is effec-
tive as Brother Paul, Jacques Kruger
Father Lumplugh, and William Yer
ance is fussily amusing in the part of
Archdeacon Wealthy.
The role of Poly Love is admirably
handled by Florence Smythe and Miss
Eleanor Carey is, think the best Mrs
Calender have ever seen. The parts
of the "Three Graces" have been en-
trusted to Miss Fanchon Everhard,
Miss Dorothy Bernard and Miss Lillias
Piper. These three charming young
women do their best to be naughty but
succeed only in attaining to a kinder

ing, if 1t Is not exactly what Hall
Caine meant when he created the char

IL HO IuOU SC0LS is 6ApeTlly managed,
the minor roles are in competent hands

of the third act, is UP to the Belasco's

Last nisht after the performance of
"Gayest Manhattan" at the Grand,
Director Lytell called the members of
the company together and read an in
vitation from Manager Frank Lawton
OF the Log Cabin in Santa Monica can
yon, inviting them to be his guests to-
day at the new pleasure resort. There
was no need to ask for a show OF hands,
for the unanimous acceptance was
never a moment in doubt. Director
Lytell then explained that the invita-
ton had been given and renewed from
week to week ever since the company
hearsals and performances, however,
prevented an earlier acceptance.
A special car leaving the Hill Street
depot at 9:3O this morning will take
the Gayety company direct to the can

<ITNHE CHRIsTIAN." which is re-
revived at the Belasco this
Il week, was, I believe, the first
of the Hall Caine novels to be pre-
sented in stage form. AS the story
remains, in many respects, the best
of the Manxman's output, so the play
is in all respects the best that mas
ever come from his pen. Frankly
noeIodramatic. this play which has as
it's central figures Wlllfui woman
and an Episcopalian priest In whom
asceticism, begotten of defeated love
10 IN the end, conquered by love trl-
,IInnhant. has already had consld-
erahle life upon the English speaking
stage and doubtless will continue lons
after many of the ephemeral successes
of the day have been torgotten. Dc
that as it may, this drama has peen
60 frequently presented upon local
stages that it's quality should pe Wen
known to Los Angeles theatergoers
Thus. in revival, the audiences chlel
concern is not the play, but the play
ers. ,yoAo,.+
In. the Belasco presentation Hobart
Bosworth Is cast as John storm anu
lane GREY as Glory Quayle. ABOUT
tbasa two characters the conflict of the
drama RACES and consequently upon
their shoulders falls the brunt or the
production. 1 have long regarded tne
part of John Storm as one OF the most
difficult of realization written into any
play within the past ten years. MI:
Bosworth, however, addressed himsen
to its mastery with earnestness, dlgnlty
ond eenuine force. For the time he
ohliterates its most glaring absurdi-
ties, permitting us to appreciate tneir
triviality and falseness only In the
retrospect. Bosworth is persuasive
preacher as well as capable actor.
Both accomplishments stand him IN
good stead in this role.
Miss orey's Acting
Miss Grey, too, acquitted herself
finely. Whatever you may think OF
her Glory Quayle you must credit her
with giving her own Interpretation or
the part. She avoids many or the pit
falls into which her predecessors
stumbled: one in particular which al
ways proved unfortunate for MISS
Viola Allen, who originated the part
in this country. This is her reception
az brakes kiss in the first act Miss
Allen, as I remember 1t, became tre-
mendously indignant at this anront
and stormed so gustfully that the incl
dent was exaggerated out of all meas
ure. Miss Grey INDUCES in no such
heroics.
She approaches her big scenes care
fully and yet with confidence. One OF
the best things she did last night was
her acting in the brief scene with
Father Lumplugh in the second act
Here she played with admirable re-
straint and yet conveyed TO her auai,
ence a picture of a woman suplected
to almost excruciating mental torture,
In the scene with Mr.. Bosworth, too,
in Glory's apartments, her acting was
excellent. There are flaws, OF course
