ADJUSTMENTS
Tim Murphy.

Tim Murphy, the old reliable in the
fun-making line, appeared last night at
the Jefferson in Cupid and the Dollar
for his third performance here this sea-
son. An excellent audience was present
to laugh and force the star into the in
evitable curtain talk. Miss Dorothy Sher-
rod. unfortunately, was sufferer from
tonsiltis and could not appear in her
role of Virginia Stratton. Miss Frances
Llewellyn assumed the part in manner
entirely satisfactory, and the performance
glided off without hitch.

somewhat of lone figure on the stage
of today, Harry Beresford and himself
standing aloof from the realists who are
destroying the old type of comedy, but he
holds his own.
The same familiar faces surround Mr..
Murphy. His supporting company is as
nearly perfect as supporting companies
come to be. Edward Lester, Charles H.
Martin, Richard V. Sterling, o. ]. Griffin.
Miss Dorothy Davies and Mrs. Aubrey
Powell appeared to perfection in their,
respective parts, and the performance
passed off smoothly and tremendously.
Cupid and the Dollar has been seen
twice before in Birmingham, and call
for no comment. 1t tells the story of a
self-made man of America, whose daueh-
ter becomes enamored of an English
lord. The aristocratic mother of the lord
desires that the old mans wealth be
welded into the family. but abhors his
unoouthness and suggests that he re-
turn to his country without his daughter

loyal daughter naturally is indignant and
breaks the engagement with the noble
man. The father then, only DESTROYS of

Calls for Rate Court.
President Taft's program calls fol
a railroad rate court. This court
which it is proposed to have perma
nent headquarters in Washington
will take over all Of the work now go
ing to the federal courts through ap
peals of the railroads from the Inter
state Commerce Commissions decis-
ions. The understanding is that the
court is to consist of five members, at
a yearly salary of ten thousand dollars
each 1t is pointed out that such a
court will not only III time become ex-
perts in railroad rate matters. but that
they will expedite all matters coming
before it.
At present some appeals have been
delayed two years before final decis
ion is made by the courts. The Taft
plan is to limit the proposed court to
sixty days in passing upon cases that
come before it. The court, too. will
have power to hold sessions outside OF
Washington in order to meet such con-
ditions as would arise for instance, out
of a case involving a number of Chi
cago railroads, and in which it would
be necessary to go over countless
numbers of books of record OF the
roads. In such a case the court would
hear the case in Chicago.
Another Good Reason.
There is another good reason adj
vanced in behalf of the proposed court
1t Is that it would relieve the largely
congested calendars of the federal
courts throughout the country.
1t is to this court that it is pro-
posed to give the right to issue in
functions restraining railroads from
putting into effect higher rates, which
are complained of, and which upon
the evidence at hand appear to be ex-
cessive. The Mann measure also pro,
vides for the issuing of restraining
orders but the legal work when the
railroads contest the commissions or
ders he leaves with the federal courts
which have no jurisdiction.

Wallace Teegarden has accepted a

ny.
With a total membership of $50,
Post c has only % delinquents in the
payment of their semi-annual dues.
This small number has until the last
of January to pay their annual dues
before they cease to be members. The
delinquents this year were fewer in
number than for several years past.
Post G boys are regarded as very
prompt in payment of dues. They re-
alize the importance of always being
in good standing. Accidents happen
to any one and at most any time.
The wholesale trade in the city of
Richmond during the year 1909 was
greater in volume than any previous
year in the business history of the
city. A few houses report the largest
volume of business ever done, while
others report business for 1909 up to
the standard. Richmond's standing
as jobbing center is not only becom-
ing more impressed on those already
doing business with the Richmond
wholesalers, but the representatives OF
it's merchants are reaching out farther

of America.
The American Association clubs
who led in the crusade against
Brien, late president, are evidently

past ten days several players have
been exchanged among the quintet.
The latest was Pitcher Packard. sold

1t is pretty certain that the Boston
Red Sox will be seen at Huntington

lease on the property permits. BY

George Tebeau has succeeded in
ousting Joe O'Brien from the presi-
dency of the American Association.
But the sponsor of Chivington is
threatened by the three O'Brien sup
porters. This trio will demand Te-
beau's resignation from the board of
control. Tebeau was elected a direc-
tor for a long term of years while
he controlled Louisville, the latter be-
ing one of the four clubs represented
on the board when a ten year agree
ment was drawn in 1891. While Te-
beau's name is incorporated in the
agreement as a director. his foes
claim he lost the office when he sold
Louisville to Grayson last year. Kan
sas City, which Tebeau now owns,
has no representative on the board.
On this ground Tebeau's foes threat
en- to begin ousting proceedings if
Tebeau will not consent to retire. Te-
beau enjoys the right of might, for
ne was elected to the craftsmanship
at the recent meeting by vote of five
to three.
