PRINCETON BOYS
TO TRY PLAY ON
FACULTY FIRST
Triangle Club Gives Ills Honor,
the Sultan" at College
Tomorrow.
Ispeoial to the Newark start

PRINCETON, March 17.-With the
faculty of the university in attendance,
His Honor, the sultan the musical
comedy to be presented in Newark
Washington, Indianapolis, st. Louis,
Chicago, Pittsburg and New York this
season by the Triangle Club of Prince
ton University will have it's first
night" tomorrow.
On Saturday night, the ''undergrads'
witness the play in a body n then he
production is pronounced ready for "the
road" After the faculty n under
graduates have passed judgment on the
play, there is usually no trepidation
about the audiences on the trip.
Most of the company this year have
had previous experience, out those that
haven't had learn a great deal in two
nights about self-assurance and stage
fright, and when the club sets forth
by special train from Princeton next
Wednesday for its first stand" His
Honor. the Sultan" it is expected. will
rank above anything the Triangle Club
has before attempted.
The music, exceptionally good, is by
e. p. Nevin, 1912, who inherits a com
poser's talent; the lyrics are the work
of J. F. Thompson, 1911, himself a
clever actor in the title role; the book
is a snappy farce by Cyrus Mccormick,
1912, of Chicago, whose right toe
brought him into prominence last fall
when he more than held his own in a
punting duel with Mr.. Coy, of Yale, on
the gridiron at New Haven. Besides
being an athlete, young Mccormick is
a clever writer and he has conceived
situations that permit of b~roadness and
wholesome fun.
1t is an Oriental piece and the gaudy
tunic and red fez are conspicuous in the
color of the production. The girls
have learned some intricate dances. the
soldiers mechanically obey a cruel sui
tan. a German newspaper correspond
ent exceeds the limit of precociousness,
the opening choruses and f1nales fur
nish some tuneful harmonies and al
together the production is well bal
anced. Seventy-five undergraduates
will be taken on the trip. Two COM

SAY INFLUENCE
Is USED To DELAY
ASYLUM CHARGES
RumOr Declares Politicians Are
at Work to Hold Up Re-
port of Indictments.

On the heels of the we'll authenticated
ordered drawn by the grand jury in
connection with its quiz into the affairs
of the County Hospital for the Insane
at Overlook gossip today had 1t
politicians of more or less importance
have been busy with the members OF
that body trying to induce them to re-
consider it's action and prevent the final
step which MAKES the bills operative,
namely, the signature of the foreman.
This may be withheld until the last
moment, just before the jurors go into
court with their other indictments. At
the same time the jurors themselves
may decide to reconsider the whole
matter and vote it down.
Another session has been called for
next Tuesday afternoon when, it is
understood. the regular criminal grist
will be taken up for the grinding, and
the asylum probe, several loose threads
of which are still to be taken up so as
TO weave a web harmonious with the
whole, will be resumed later in the
week. After another hearing or two
the testimony, both on the cost of con
struction, the line in which indictments
for fraud are said to have been found,
and the general acknowledgment of the
Institution, will be whipped into
tangible shape.
The business committee of the grand
jury visited the public institutions Of
the county, outside of the city limits,
Yesterday, and made quite a long stay
at the Overlook asylum with an eye
to using the information gathered first
hand, particularly as to the copper gut
tiers, when they get busy again in the
quiz. What they saw in the other
public buildings win be used in the
presentment when they are discharged,
early next month.
Other Developments.
Besides the interest shown in this
investigation by the grand jury, the
asylum has had attention drawn to it
self in several other ways. One re-
port is that DR.. Daniel NJ Dill, its
superintendent, has been ordered by the
committee on county hospitals Of the
Board of Freeholders to stop the visit
OF liquor delivery wagons on the prem
Uses. 1t had been the practise of GER
tain of the employees to have the
liquors delivered to them, and the COM
mitiee now deems it advisable to end
the practise.
Another thing that keeps the asylum
in the limelight just now among the
politicians is the fact that many Re-
publican lights are looking with favor
upon the possibility of securing the
berth of asylum warden, which win
probably be created by the ~freeholders
as an outcome of the investigation.
BENJAMIN Bailey, a brother-in-law of
John r. Flavell, secretary of the Re-
publican County Committee, is a can
didate for the job, and so is Charles
Steadman, warden of the Jail during
former Sheriff Frank H. Sommer's ad-
ministration. Bailey was at n time
a freeholder.
