Shakespeare Censored.
The dramatic censorship In England
today, much as II is abused, is very
mild compared to what has been
known in former periods when many
Of Shakespeare's plays have been CEN
sored. Colley Cibber in his autobi-
ography tells us of one master of the
revels. who was responsible for the
licensing of plays in his days, expung-
ing the whole first act Of Cibber's
adaptation of Richard I'LL" on the
ground that the distresses Of Henry
VI. would remind weak people OF
King James. then living in France

TENNESSEE COAL DEAL
Gates Says 1t Was Forced Sale
To Aid Trust Go. of America.

Washington. May 27.-John W. Gates was
the first witness to appear before the spe-
cial House committee, OF which Representa-
tive Stanley, OF Kentucky, is chairman
The committee had determined that an IN
ycstigatlon OF the Tennessee Coal ana iron
deal. which IS said 10 have been approved
by President Roosevelt, should be the nrst
subject taken up.
Asked by Mr.. Stanley II the deal with
the United States Steel Company was not
prompted by the embarrassment or the
Trust Company of America Mr.. Gates said
he had heard that J. Pierpont Morgan mad
suggested the transaction to relieve the
distressed condition of a banking house.
"It has been stated on apparently good
authority" said Mr.. Stanley, that at the
time the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany was acquired by the United states
Steel Corporation a certain business hrm
Ohe name not given would have failed II
help had not been given, and that this
firm had among its assets the majority OF
the stock Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
COMPANY, and that advances were made
10 die United States Steel Corporation to
purchase this stock in order to avert
panic. What do you know about that"
I'm the exchange of this stock Mr.
Gates replied. mot dollar changed hands.
No bank gained any assets by it."
Did any member OF firm or bank make
a proposition TO the United States Steel
Corporation 10 accept the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company as comparatively
worthless property" asked Mr.. Stanley.
In other words, WHO flew the signal OF
distress"

JURYMEN JUST MISS MEAL
Counsel Were Prepared to Stand Treat
Verdict Spoiled Plan.

Twelve jurymen came near getting a free
luncheon at the Aston House as reward for
being compelled 10 come down 10 the Su-
preme Court on Saturday. on which day
trials are not held as rule. But the
civil code of procedure was partly respon-
sible for the dozen good and true and
hungry men not enjoying a repast at the
expense Of the COUNTY. Juries in criminal
cases always dine at the countys expense
when held over mealtime in deliberation.
Not so in civil cases

The jury got the case near , o'clock and
then rose the question of sending them out
first for luncheon. James w. Osborne, for
the plaintiff suggested that Justice Benton
instruct the court attendants TO take the
jury TO the Astor House The justice could
not see his way clear to do that unless
somebody guaranteed the payment of the
twelve meals.

fund that he had set aside for that pur-
pose to feed the hungry jurymen.

EDISON RIVAL ENCOURAGED

company Application was made 10 the
Public Service Commission several months
ago for permission to Issue slOo"'"n III
stock and $4,000. 900 in bonds, but the APP
plication was denied.
The Long Acre company went TO the
courts which ordered rehearing by the
Public Service Commission. After the de-
cison was announced Yesterday the Long
Acre company issued a statement saying
the company had been fully financed and
that construction work would be begun
at once.
James F. Shaw. Of Boston, the new presi-
dent Of the company, said that at least
100000 would be expended on an initial
plant and that later on the company pro-
posed TO erect generating plant in the
coal fields of Pennsylvania. at least ~
miles from New York. This. he said,
would enable his company materially 10
lower its kilowatt rates
1t does not follow from the position taken
by the commission that the Long Acre
company will succeed in obtaining author

Service act that no franchise shall he capt.

TROLLEY EXTENSION DENIED
Public Service Board Sets Precedent in
Case of Realty Promotions.

Yesterday decision denying an appica-
ton Of the Ocean Electric Railway Com

ciple where street railroads may be LAID
out TO benefit certain real estate promo
tons. when the streets themselves have not
been dedicated TO public use.
The application was for permission 10
construct and operate an extension about
mile long at Rockaway Beach. The pro-
posed extension was through land Of the
West ROckaway Land Company and OF the
Neponslt Realty Company. both of which
had entered into an agreement with the
railway company gbing their consent TO
the construction ana operation OF the pro-
posed extension.
commissioner BaSsett wrote an opinion in
which he said the application would seem
TO be premature. lie declared there was no

case that the streets on which the proposed
