In TOBFRO' IS
FINE SUCCESS
COLLEGE OF MINES PLAY is PRE-
sENTED AT THE CALUMET
THEATER AND MAKES
BIG HIT.

The play, '1n Tobero." presented by
the Micomi club of the Michigan Col
Iege of Mines at the Calumet theater
Saturday evening, delighted one Of the
largest and most enthusiastic au-
diences of the season and was conced-
ed by all as an unqualified success.
Scenically the production was magni-
ficent C. F. Schaber and II. B. Kroe-
ger, who played the principal womens
parts, were extremely graceful and
womanly and their appearance was
greeted with applause.
The story OF the production has been
told repeatedly in these columns. 1t
deals with a college student of the NJ.
/ C. NJ, Harold Kellar by name, who be-
comes Disguised with his struggle for
an education and so tells his room
mates in the first scene. College ave-
nue. rooming house. He divulges his
plan of going TO Central America to
his fellows and after receiving their
jokes good naturally. falls asleep and
dreams the rest of the story. In Cen
trail America he becomes involved in a
revolution which ends favorably to all
concerned and Kellar returns to the
NJ, c. NJ
The members of the cast acted their
parts almost like professionals and the
whole production had few traces of
the amateurish. f. III. Gould who
took the part OF Kellar, the disconsolate
student of the NJ. G. NJ, and later dis
tlnguished himself as Cortez, fulfilled
every requirement of a very exacting
role. He has a pleasing presence and
! fine voice and altogether his work was
| of a fine finished character. r.. II.
/ Stillwell. as the bandit chief, present.
/ ed a ferocious appearance. and his
! laundering voice not only sent the
citizens of Tobero scurryng but set
some of the audience to quaking as
well. His bass solo i'm the bandits
song was very realistic.
The contrast between the Mcalde
and his wife was a very laughable part
of the play, while w. A. Rigby, who
] took the part of Harold Kellar's father,
displayed his parental authority very
| flttingly.
The songs that pleased most were
the Opening Chorus" by Odita, the
flower girls and troubadors Its Hard
TO Raise a Father" by II. Kellar,
Fascinating Sue" by Odita and Choir
us with the new IN. c. NJ sSong" as
the finale.
Schraber and Kroeger. as Odita. the
daughter of the Alcalde, and Athene
Emerson. the winner of the Boston
Transcripts School teachers beauty
contest. cleverly demonstrated their
ability to impersonate women in the
second act. in a scene entitled "Se-
crets." Schaber was chic and girlish
while Kroeger appeared as a queenly
woman. without trace of masculine
ness. Though he wore a harcm skirt
in this scene, he did il without burles-
quing his part in the least. even to the
"Salome" or Egyptian dance. Schaber's
dancing was exceedingly airy. Both
were accorded well deserved praise.
The chorus girls and the two lead
ing ladies appeared at the end of the
play minus their wigs and were greet
ed with applause and just as the cur
tain went down the college yell was
given.

NO MORE LONG LEASES
BY RIPARIAN BOARD

1t developed at a session Of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson and his
associates on the State Riparian
Commission at Sea Grit, Wednesday
afternoon, that the commission in
tends to grant no more long term
leases.
Last week, because of an obliga-
ton which 1t was considered the
state owed the company, the COM
mission voted to lease the United
States Metals Refining Company a
tract of 500 feet on the shores of
Staten Island sound for an indefinite
period, the company to pay s25 per
foot each year. At the same time
the company also made application
for an additional fifty feet, immedi-
ately adjoining the larger tract.
Yesterday the commission voted to
lease the additional tract for a twen-
ty-ive-year term, the yearly rental
to be $50 per frontage foot. How
ever the lease will include the privi-
lege OF renewal at its expiration, at
whatever terms and under what con-
ditions the commission may decide
ade justified.
The Philadelphia and Reading
railroad was granted a twenty-five
year lease of a tract of 500 feet on
Staten Island sound, at the r. e of
s25 per foot per year.

Master Builders Protest
Against City Electrician.

Contending that a city electrician
is not needed at this time and that
public work can be better taken care
Of as 1t Is at present, the Master
Builders Association has filed a re-
monstrance against final passage of
an ordinance creating such an office.
The document, signed by V. P. Chris
Jefferson, secretary of the associa-
ton of contractors and builders, has
been placed in the hands of City
Clerk Wilbur LaRoe and will be laid
before the aldermen at their COM
mittee meeting tonight. 1t was
shown to Alderman-at-Large Will
lam D. Voorhees, this morning.
The ordinance to create the office
of city electrician was introduced
and passed upon its first reading at
the last meeting Of the Board Of
Aldermen. It is due to come up for
second reading and final passage at
the next regular meeting on Mon
day. An official OF the Master Build
ers' Association said today that the
remonstrance might cause the Ordi-
nance to be held up and a public
hearing to be held on the subject.
1t appears that some in the con-
tractors organization hold that the
Office should not be established al
this time, as they declare it is not
needed. 1t is stated some Of the
contractors contend that the work
of keeping the police and fire alarm
systems in shape can be better done
by a numebr of electricians, than by
one man. 1t is learned the same
persons are Of the opinion that the
work can be done cheaper the pres
ent way. The Public Service Electric
Light Company is now in charge Of
those systems.
From another source information
has reached a member OF the city
council that the association does not
want the office established because
one of its number who aspired for
the position seem TO have small
chances Of getting It.

INVESTIGATION
BY EXCISE BID.
Laid Over Application of
Joseph Scibienski Because
of the Police Report.
ALLEGED SUNDAY SALES
Want to Know More About
Charges Renewals Are
Granted at Meeting.

Because of a report to the police
that Joseph Scibienski had sold beer
on Sunday in Alexander Balinski's
place at 1928 Smith street, the Board
of Excise Commissioners last night
laid over his application for a trans
fer to himself of the license of Bal
inski at that place. The application
was laid over until the next meeting
on a motion made by Commissioner
Henderson seconded by Commits
sioner Tymrakiewicz, to give the
police an opportunity of learning
more about the complaint before
the transfer Is effected. AS Balinski
is reported to be very III and is not
expected to recover, a special session
may be called within the next week
to act thereon. Another application
was laid over, one referred back to
the applicant for correction and
eleven granted at the meeting, which
was of but short duration.
Referred Back to Applicant.

for the transfer to himself of the
saloon license Of James O'Toole and
for its transfer from 415 Front
street to "a Smith street was re-
baSh " LAS dppiiCdAty USllS
adjudged in improper order. The
board held that two applications
should be made, one from man to
mar and another from place to
place, SO that the board could act
on each separately. Upon the read
ing of the application it was an
nounced that Pfrrmann wanted to
withdraw that part Of the applica-
ton for transfer of the place to the
foot of Smith street. On motion the
application was ordered returned to
the applicant.
The application of T. E. F~arroat
for a transfer of his bottling license

Metuchen VIII View.

special to the EVENING NEWS.
Metuchen, Aug. 4:-Metuchen is
making preparations 10 let Aviators
Charles K. Hamilton, Lincoln
Beachey and Hugh Robinson know
that the brainy borough is some
town when they fly over there tomor-
row on their way to Philadelphia
from New York in the aeroplane
race for $4,000. A committee con-
sisting of Alexander c.. Litterst,
Truman T. Pierson and Mayor
Washington Wilson is stirring up
enthusiasm. AS soon as the airmen
hove in sight it will be a signal for
firing off of cannon crackers, shot
guns, etc, and the blowing Of fac
tory whistles. When the machines
leave Railway the fact will be tele-
graphed to the telegraph Offices of
the Pennsylvania railroad here.
The committee have requested
that everybody who can do so bring
with him some kind of thing to
make a noise and the Metuchen
police will turn out IN new uniforms
and will be expected to blow their
police whistles until they are hoarse.
Metuchen feels as though it knew
Hamilton, he having had the nerve
to twice fly ver the steeple of Par
son Mason's church. The second
time he tried it, however, something
ven wrong and he swerved off in
the direction of the abode of Mayor
Bill Gross. Of Sand Hills, later land
ing on the flats at South Amboy. A
fine place to get a good view of the
flying machines is the big yard ad-
Joining the Pierson building and the
Lyric theatre.
A great crowd will assemble here
1t Is expected that many people from
Perth Amboy and Plainfeld as well
as surrounding country will watch
the atrmen from Metuchen. 1t is
not known just what time the race
will start, but 1t is thought that the
start will be at moor This would
mean that Metuchen would be
reached about 1895 or 1910.
