"45 Minutes From Broadway" Monday

"45 Minutes From Broadway" Monday.
George NJ Conan has given the stage
an entirely new type of thcatrlcal
offering. 1t is rather well eXerlpllhed
in Forty Five Minutes From Broad
way" which Cohan e. Harris Will pre-
sent at the Opera House MondaJ night
featuring Scott Welsh in the role OF
kid Burns" and Frances Gordon as
Mary" together with the original cast
and production. The proper term
would seem to be musical Grama,
for it is a type of a piece which has a
we'll defined plot whose unfolding not
only holds the interest of the theatre
goer, but reveals surprise after sur
prise. 1t is logical and convincing, and
while the interpolated musical numbers
scored a deserved success, one feels
that they are not essential to the sue
cess of the piece. So entertaining and
interesting is the story itself that one
could well dispense with the nuslcal
part of the play. Yet these musica
numbers are possessed of such tune
fulness and wit that the playgcer who
has once heard them is never content
on a second visit to "Forty-flVe
Minutes From Broadway (and it is an
axiom of the Cohan & Harris office,
that once a theatregoer has seen the
Conan piece, he invariably returns the
second or third time), to have even a
bar or note left out or passed over.
The seats are now on sale, five hundred
of the best lower floor seats at $1.O0.

PERKINS AND
THORN TESTIFY
Tell What They Know About
the Tennessee Coal and

Washington. Jan. 29-George w.
Perkins of the firm of j. p. Morgan
and company, and Oakleigh Thorn.
president of the Trust company of
America, appeared before the special
committee on the judiciary at its meet
ing today to give testimony in the in
vestigation of the presidents author
ity in allowing the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company by
the United States Steel corporation.
The sessions were held behind closed
doors. 1t was the understanding that
both the New York brokers were to be
examined concerning the control Of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company
at the time of the merger. Perkins
was subpoenaed while Thorn was a
voluntary witness. according to the
information given to the members of
the committee. 1t Is said that the
Trust Company Of America held a
large amount of the Tennessee con-
Germ stock as security for the loan
at the time of the merger. Thorn was
expected to testify as to the exact
amount of stock the bank held and
to seek to show that the merger was
not necessary to relieve his institu-
tion of financial distrsss. Perkins
was said to he familiar with whatever
business necessities there were for
the murger during the financial strin-
,gency Of October and November last.

Minded and Insane Asylum.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 29-The su-
preme court this morning handed
down its decision in the case brought
to test the validity of the law by
which counties are required to- pay
500 a year for each patient in the
state asylum sent from such county
The supreme court affirms the lower
court and holds the law constitution
al. The court says in its decision
that 1t is entirely within the power
Of the legislature to levy tax for
the maintenance of state charitable
institutions, and at the same time re-
qu1re the counties to pay fixed
sum per patient, thus paying in pro-
portion to the number of patients. The
same decision applies to the state
school for the feeble minded at Graf
ton. The law passed upon by the
court was enacted by the legislature
two years ago. Under its provisions
between $15O.000 and 100000 has
been paid in by the counties, although
several of them. have paid under pro-
test and some of them have refused
to pay at all, awaiting a test of the
law in the court. The affirming of the
decision means that the state reve-
nues will be increased to the extent OF
100000 or more and that much more
money will be available for the bien-
nial appropriations of the coming
period.

NO DOLLAR VALUE -

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 26.-Radical
changes in the corporation laws are
favored in the report submitted today
by the committee Of corporation law
Of which Francis Lynn Stetson is
chairman. Tho committee has pre-
pared and caused to be submitted to
the legislature amendments to the
corporation laws permitting the for
nation Of companies having capital
stock dividend into shares of any
value In money and has issued stock
certificates representing merely the
corporation interests in the entire
capital stock without the Implication
Of any nominal or par value in money.
This is sometimes called stocks with
out the dollar mark. The abolition of
the money denomination Of shares, the
report says, which we believe deceives
those who promote corporations, of
the advantages real or seeming of ex-
aggerated capitalization which un-
doubtedly is possible under the ex-
listing laws and at the same time it
would compel investors to fix their at
tention upon the actual values. The
amendment would not apply to busi-
ness corporations now existing.
