POLL INJUNCTION
OFF FOR PRESENT
Vaudeville Magnate Withdraws
Application to Restrain
Hartford Stage Hands

Hartford. March 17-Attorney Wal
ter S. Schultz. Of the firm of Schultz
& Edwards. acting for S. 2. Poll own
er OF the Poll vaudeville circuit, in
connection with the $4,000 damage
suit and the application for a tenn
porary injunction against the stage
employees at his local theatres, local
NO. 400. the Musicians Protective I'm
ION and the Central Labor Union to
enjoin them from interfering with him
in conducting his theaters here, in
enforcing their demands for higher
wages. which application was brought
tuesday, gave out the information
yesterday afternoon that Mr.. Poll had
decided to withdraw the application
for a temporary injunction
The reason for the withdrawal Mr..
Schultz, said, is that the members of
the Musicians Protective Union at the
Poll theatres since the application was
made on Tuesday have been ordered
out on strike by the Central Labor un-
lon in sympathy with Mr.. Polls stage
hands, and that they thus refuse to
work for Mr.. Poll until the demands
of the stage hands are settled. It was
intimated that Mr.. Poll would ask for
an injunction later should there be
any interference with his business.
The hearing on the matter was to
have been held this morning, hav-
request Of Attorneys Thomas J. Spell
lacy and Augustine Lonergan who
represent the unions. It is understood
that the Injunction was to have been
asked partly on the ground that Mr..
Poll wanted to prevent the stage
hands from influencing the musicians
to strike, and the fact that they have
now done so before the hearing could
be held takes away one of the causes
for the applicat ton
The step by Mr.. Poll was the first
sign he made that he would fight the
matter in the courts and his with
drawal is not looked upon as a weak
ching on his part. That he has en-
gagged new orchestras is evidence that
he intends to keep his theatres open
and that he holds his men to what he
believes Is a valid agreement if they
want to go back into his employ.

sons Theatre went back to work yes

AS TO DIGGING CLANS
ALONG THE SHORE

Attorney General John H. Light
yesterday gave out an opinion In re-
ply to questions from Senator Amos
Dickerman of New Haven, concern
ing riparian rights. In answer to
Mr.. Dickerman's question whether
any person owning land fronting on
the tide waters of Connecticut has the
right to prohibit another person dig
ging CLANS or taking oysters between
mean high water and low water marks
the attorney general says that the law
is we'll settled in this State that the
right to the soil of proprietors of land
of navigable waters extends only to
ordinary high water mark. All below
that point belongs to the public, Ad-
joining proprietors have the right to
the shore, subject to the paramount
right Of the public. Among the most
important riparian rights are those OF
access to the deep sea and the right
to extend land into the water by
means of wharves.
In answer to Mr.. Dickerman's Sec
ond question whether the State leases
Or sells the right to persons between
mean high water and low water mark
to prohibit another from obtaining
clans and oysters from the same, the
attorney general says that the State
by suitable legislation has the power
to sell Or lease to a riparian owner
the exclusive right to take clans and
oysters from the shore between mean
high and low water mark.

Tuberculin Test for Cattle.
Medical Men and Dairymen Say They
Favor 1t.

Cattle breeders, milk producers and
other individuals scattered through
out Connecticut were heard yesterday
on a number of bills making it I'M
lawful to admit cattle into this state
without having the cattle accompan-
led by a certificate of freedom from
infectious diseases, such as tuberculo-
sis. The hearing was before the COM
mittee on agriculture.
Representative c. H. Peck Of STRAIT
ford objected to the incubation of
animals by tuberculin. He said that
travel and full of tuberculin, they
fall down. He said, ST shall oppose
it not only here, but on the floor of
the House also. A man in the agrl-
cultural department at Washington,
D. c., said it was absolutely worth
less
Commissioner on Domestic Animals
Heman O. Averill interposed that the
appropriation had run short. If the
General Assembly would appropriate
more money there would be more cat
tie to condemn. He was in favor of
a larger appropriation, but felt that
he must as an executive keep within
the appropriation.
DR.. 1T. F. Stoll of Hartford said that
tuberculin \properly administered was
harmless to COWS and human beings
He said that the commissioner had no
power to order disinfection of stalls
and that he should have. He said
he spoke for the Hartford Medical So
ciety, the Society for the Prevention
of tuberculosis, and all babies in Con-
necticut who did not feed on mothers
milk.
E. G. Seeley Of Roxbury, member of
several medical societies, and former,
ly of the state board of agriculture,
opposed use Of tuberculin.
Vice-President John B. Lunger of
the Travellers Insurance Company, ap-
pearing for the Society for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis. said the So
ciety wanted a bill passed to protect
the people from the incoming of dis
eased cattle, to see that diaries were
inspected and that the powers of the
commission be increased for that pur-
pose.
DIR. r. P. Steddon, from the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington,
tories requiring the tuberculin test for
all incoming cattle. The test by tu-
berculin is considered very desirable
by the bureau Of animal industry. It
is correct that 95 per. cent. of the ca
ses where applied in a competent man
ner, it has no Injurious efr<ct on
healthy cattle. 1t is required for cat
tie brought into the country
In reply to questions from the op-
position DR.. Steddon answered that
cattle after travelling thirty-six hours
tests are taken under way
The president Of the state dairy
mems association, E. G. Warren Davis
of Norwich, said that the association
is practically unanimous in support of
the bill.

The survival of "Uncle Toms Cabin
is something to marvel over, but it is
an assured fact. The elaborate reno
walton of the old play by Manager
Washburn Of the Stetson Company,
in a new pictorial dress with up-to-
date methods plentifully displayed
throughout it's half dozen acts, judging
from the box office receipts, wherever
this company plays, furnishes ample
proof that "Uncle Toms Cabin" is
still potent. Special scenery for every
scene depicted, enlarged choruses OF
genuine negroes from the cotton belt,
modern up-to-date specialties, two
male and female quartettes. band OF
Alabama pickaninnies, improved light
effects and mechanical illusions will
be seen in the Stetson production OF
this famous play. The presenting
company in some instances is double
one and contains the names of num-
erous footlight favorites. The Stetson
Company is booked at the Park Thea
tire, matinee and night, Monday, Mar.
20.
A chorus of fifty absolutely fresh
faces is one of the novelties which
JOS. M. Gates promises in his new
musical play Bright Eyes" which
will be the attraction at the Park
Theatre for two nights, Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 21-22. The selection
of such a chorus is a very difficult
matter, but Mr.. Gates has given it
his personal attention and by care
fully looking over the choruses of a
few reigning Broadway hits and i'm
porting fresh faces from various parts
of the country he has, he says, sue
ceeded in gathering together a lot Of
girls whose faces are not familiar to
the jaded theatregoer and who can
sing and dance as well as look pretty.
Bright Eyes" is by the authors Of
Three Twins" and like that very sue
cessful play it is founded on a popu-
lar farce. The authors Charles Dick
son, Otto Hauerbach and Karl Hoschna
who are responsible respectively for
ed their new effort on Mistakes Will
Happen which was very popular sew
eral years ago. The book is said to
be clever, the situations more than
laughable. Mr.. Hauerbach's lyrics are
hailed as bright and clever and Mr..
Hoschna's music as the most tuneful
and catchy he has ever written. The
company which will be seen in
Bridgeport in Bright Eyes is headed
by two of the cleverest funmakers
on the American stage, Cecil Lean and
Florence HolbroOk who originated the
leading parts in the play during it's
New York stay last season. Others in
the cast include Vera Finlay, P. Lyn-
dal, Herbert Sallinger, Frank Brown
lee. Florence Courtney and Arthur
Conrad.

Situation Clearing.

The tension over the Mexican
situation, due to the fighting OF
the contending parties so close to
the international line as to cause
the death Of a number Of Ameri-
can citizens and the wounding
of others, non-combatants, has
been for the time relieved by the
evacuation of Aqua Prieta by
the rebels, said to have been
caused by a desire to avoid pos
sible Intervention on the part of
the United States, and the assu-

occur at other points along the
border is problematical. The en-
broilment that the invasion OF
Mexico, even for the purpose OF
stopping fighting so near the line,
might lead the United States in
to, is contemplated with much
concern. That it would be re-
garded as an act of war is little
doubted. The ultimate conse-
quences might be exceedingly
grave. The joinder of federal
and insurrecto troops to resent

be an impossibility, and the NOR
