THEATER UPHELD
AS MORAL FORCE
University of Minnesota Savant
Sees Much Good in Mod
ern Drama

If there be any who are not converts
to the theory that the drama is a moral
lesson. as well as a source of joy. they
should have heard the lecture delivered
yesterday afternoon by DIR. Richard
Burton of the University of Minnesota
on "The Modern Drama" under the
auspices of the California club.
A large audience of men as we'll as
women greeted the speaker
Doctor Burton attributed the preju-
dice existing among certain English
speaking people against the stage to
the influence of Puritanism, which in the
seventeenth century was so strong as
to close all public theaters for nearly
20.years. Only within the last quarter
of century has the theater. which he
characterized as the house of the
drama, come into its own in the matter
of appreciation.
Doctor Burton did not hesitate to de-
clare that as all the best blood of liter
ature a few years ago went to fiction
SO now. 1T is going to plays, and as a
result the minds of people are turning
more TO appreciation and discrimina-
tion In the matter OF plays. The sub
Ject matter did not determine the worth
OF the play, Doctor Burton said. II
might be of the mean. the petty and
the squalid, but if the master mind
We're back of the subject matter, bring
ing out the worth of even the meanest
al part of the scheme of life, it would
be worth while.
Audiences no longer demand sensa-
ton and dramatic denouement, he said.
but are delighted with verisimilitude.
as in the opening scene of What Every
Woman Knows" or the closing scene of
''Shore Acres"
Of The Easiest Way he spoke in
terms of praise. saying that. while he
deplored the strength and plainness of
the language used by certain charac-
ters- the plays vitality and bigness and
truth were wonderful
OF Ibsen he is a great admirer-at
times After declaring that Ibsen was
the Shakespeare of the nineteenth CEN
tury he said that certain of his plays
did not appeal to the tired businessman
nor to him.
Doctor Burton urged that the public
band together and endeavor TO raise the
standard of plays and accept the drama
as part of their cultural development
just as much as reading.

SECOND HUSBAND NO
BAR TO INHERITANCE
Mrs. John Boyle Married Again,
Thinking Spouse Dead

A lucky windfalI has come to Mrs.
Elizabeth Campbell. wife of William
H Campbell. a policeman of New York.
Judge Graham having yesterday ord
cred distributed TO her and her two
children the $4,000 estate of John
Boyle, a gardener in Golden Gate park.
who died less than a year ago.
Boyle was her first husband. and
legally she is still Mrs. Boyle. as she
married Campbell without getting a
divorce from the gardener. Her excuse
for this was that Boyle deserted her
and her two children in 1877, and after
waiting 10 years without getting word
of him she concluded he was dead and
accepted Campbell as a second hus-
band.
1t was after Boyle had actually died
that she heard that he came TO Cali
fornia more than 20 years ago and
had accumulated some money. Judge
Graham six months ago received a
telegram from her attorney. as the re-
suit of which depositions were taken
in New York establishing that Mrs.
Campbelf' was really Mrs. Boyle. As
no will was left by Boyle, Judge
Graham under the law was bound TO
order the estate distributed to the
widow and children. Notwithstanding
the fact of the remarriage and the
estrangement Of many years.

OWNERSHIP OF PET DOG
OCCASION FOR DISPUTE
Boston Terrier Claimed by Two
Persons

A Boston terrier, the pet of the One
Hundred and Fifty-eighth coast artil-
lery, was the subject of dispute as
to ownership in Police Judge Shortall's
court yesterday.
Morry Abrams claimed the dog and
said its name was Buddy" that 1t
was % months old and that he lost it
a year ago last June.
He saw it in Fillmore street two
days ago with Sergeant H. ]. Flexsen-
har and promptly claimed it, and OBJ
tanned a search warrant. Flexsenhar
said he got the dog when a puppy four
months old and 1t was now 16 months
old.
j. !. Sparrow, dog expert, backed
up Abrams, saying he had clipped the
ears of the terrier and identified 1t.
Flexsenhar was so grieved at the pros
pect of losing his pet that the Judge
decided to refer the matter to two
veterinary surgeons to determine the
age of the canine and the case was
continued.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-Just what
constitutes negro in the United States
may be a question which the United
States supreme court will be asked to
settle in the near future. One-six-
teenth negro blood in an individual
classifies him as a negro in the Dis
trict of Columbia, according to a de-
cision by Justice Daniel T. Wright of
the district supreme court in the case
of Isabel I. Wall, an s year old
child. who recently was barred from
a white public school because the pria-
cipal had information that she was
of negro parentage. The father of the
girl attempted TO force the board of
education to reinstate the child, but
failed, Justice Wright deciding she was
a negro. The case was appealed to

LIABILITY ACT IS
upheld BY COURT
Supreme Bench Sustains Judg=
ment Given to EmpIoye Un=
der 1907 Amendment

The 1907 amendment to section 1870
of the civil code, known as the en-
ployers' liability act, was upheld by
the supreme court in decision writ
ten by Justice Sloss and handed down
yesterday. The amendment, which was
adopted by the state legislature three
years ago, provided that the employer
should be held responsible for acci-
dents to an employe caused by the
negligence of employees in other de-
partments.
IN ruling on the amendment the
court declared that it was loosely con-
structed in that it did not define what
should constitute a difference in de-
partments. However, said the court,
It was clearly meant to be remediable.
The decision was rendered in the ap-
peal of Arthur Let's, who conducted
the Broadway department store in Los
Angeles. from a jury verdict giving
Miss Frances Augusta Judd $4,000
damages. Miss Judd was employed in
the store. AS she was leaving Febru-
ary 2I. 1908, the elevator boy closed
the door on her skirt and started up.
Miss Judd was permanently injured.
