Washington, Oct. 13.-Attorney Gen eral Wickersham has responded to all inquiries regarding his views on the dismissal of the removal proceedings in the Panama libel case at Indianap- oils that he has nothing to say and will not have pending a report from the governments counsel.

Elder, assistant district attorney of Kings county (Brooklyn). who has repre- sented the state in a fight to enforce the anti-betting laws on the race tracks.

AT BROADWAY THEATER.
A Stubborn Cinderella.

A fair sized audience found pleasure in the musical comedy, A Stubborn Cinderella at the Broadway theater on Wednesday evening" It was not all that could have been desired in the way of a musical comedy, but it pass ed off well the music being pretty and tuneful, although it lacked the polish of a big orchestra. The chorus was large and noisy, but gave up much of it's time to dancing, which was clev- erly done, being rather better than the singing.
 The piece was by the same authors as The Time. The Place and The Girl and to some it seemed to follow along similar lines, with plenty of action and many songs. There was generous ap- plause. but 1t was not as insistent as in many musical plays. so that en- cores were not numerous. There was a feminine display, but no one could be found who had selected the eight prize winning beauties worthy of big salaries for their looks
 It was much better than some of the musical productions and number of the songs were of the kind which lin- ger2d in the whistling repertoire. AL though it is called a musical produc- ton, the comedy is emphatic and Har- " Stone as Mac, the part which was taken by Jack Barrymore in the orig
 
 show his peculiar ability as an enter taner.
 The cast is d good one. and Harry Stone as Mac leaves nothing to be de- sirei. As the college youth of good family, slightly dissipated habits, but withal corking good fellow. he is a big success. Grace Edmond as Lady Leslie is a young woman of pleasing face and figure, and was at her best in the last art, when she sings Whea You First Kiss the Last Girl You Love. Lillian Goldsmith as Lois is one of the big hits of the show and is the typical college girl, as those out side the walls know her. She is sprightly and perhaps exaggerates the way college miss would act. but in this very fact she seemed to shine the most Lester Crawford Is natural in his part. and his breaks are humor- ous n the extreme. Francis Pieriot as Fat and Charles Richards as the calamity bowling engineer. both SCOT ed hits. and William White as the puff fng self conscious guardian of the destiIiies of Lady Leslie is pleasing and funny
 The chorus is a nice apearing lot and the ballads are well executed. The scenery assists as a factor In the suc- cess of the show

 $24o,ooo DAMAGES CLAIMED
Attorney for the Plaintiffs Outlines His
 Case to the Jury.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 13.-Attorney Daniel Davenport, for the plaintiffs in the big labor union suit of D. E. Loewe ct al against the Hatters' union of Danbury, in which damages of S240,000 are claimed because of an alleged boy colt, occupied two hours this afternoon in outlining his side of the case to the characterized the American Federation of Labor as "a great crusading. propa- gandizing propaganda"
 He traced the evolution of the labor union from small llloeal to central bodies and then into the great central organ ization. the Federation of Labor.
 He explained how the United Hat ters' union of North America was af- filiated with this body. He explained the nature of the Sherman antitrust law enacted in 1890 and it's relation to interstate commerce trade, saying that anyone who sustains damage to his business in violation of the law govern ing traffic in goods between states can sue the party who has injured his business no matter where such party is located, with the proviso that the defendants must be brought to trial in such cases in the district in which they reside.
 He said that the hats made by the Loewe firm were largely sold in states other than Connecticut. He told of the losses sustained by the firm by reason of the alleged boycott. At the time of the outbreak of the trouble it's husi- ness amounted to $400,000 year; aftes the trouble began it dropped to $260.000 year. the losses of the firm in profits in two years by reason of the alleged attack upon their business being $40,- 000 Attorney Davenport assured the jury that sufficient evidence would be forthcoming during the trial to sub stantiate the claims of the plaintiff as set forth in the complaint. In re- ferring to the answers of the defend ants he said that about all they ad- mitted was that they were residents of the district of Connecticut.
 Mir Davenport made allusion to statement made by J. A. Mofett in a labor convention in 1907. but Judge Platt suggested that this be omitted until the admissibility of the evidence was passed upon.
 It is understood that when the case is resumed tomorrow D. F.. Loewe will be called as the first witness for the plaintiff
