Maury, Mr.. Johnson said today that
Maury was inclined to believe that
the company had a perpetual fran
chise, but that Thomas j. Study, city
attorney at that time, declared the
company did not have perpetual
franchise and that it's rights expired
with the contract. Mr.. Johnson also
said that Maury insisted that going
value should be considered and item
lied in the report on valuation, but
that again the city attorney objected,
saying there was no going value
after the franchise had expired.
Maury claimed that the attitude of the
city attorney and former board OF
works on this point meant confisca-
ton of property. The board declared
that no prospective purchaser would
pay for going value" when it knew
that the contract was about to expire.
Nevertheless this item was valued at
$4,000 in Maury's report.
Mr.. Johnson said that the city and
citizens were not legally or morally
obligated to the company inasmuch as
the company had to take the risk OF
disposing of the property when it Sc.
cured the first contract covering a
period of seven years and again, aft.
erwards, when it secured the present
contract covering the period of TWEEN
ty years.
City Has "Weapon."
In section of an act concerning
municipal corporations passed ny the
1909 General Assembly, City Attorney
Gardner believes that this city has q
weapon" if it wishes to again at
tempt to find the value of the waite,
Gil power to examine the company's
books. In part it reads as follows:
Such common council shall have
the power of access to all records
pertaining to any such investigation
and power to compel the attendance
Of witnesses and the production Of
books, papers and other evidence al
any meeting Of the council or OF any
committee thereof and for that pur
pose such council or committee may
issue subpoenas and attachments in
| any case of inquiry or investigation
X any witness shall refuse to testify
as to any fact within his knowledge OF
to produce any books or papers with
in his possession. the clerk of the
body shall forthwith report in writing
to the circuit court-relating the facts
OF the refusal"
In case of a refusal to comply with
the order of the court requiring all
witnesses to testify or to produce
books and papers, the judge shall
have the power to commit witnesses
or otherwise punish them for con
tempt.

OFFICERS BULLET STOPS HIM

New York, May 1S--John Kane,

he had shot and fatally wounded a
white man last night, shot or stabbed
two men to death, fatally wounded
another man and inflicted more or less
serious injuries upon six other per-

Kane's mad career was brought to
a halt by a revolver bullet which

his lung. He was taken to a hospital
in a dying condition. His victims
were:

The scene of the negros outbreak
was on the upper West side The
trouble started in a Ninth avenue ele

BENNINGTON LOST
TO ADAMS HIGH
BY 1873 SCORE
Local Nigh School Students
Played Wretched Ball
GAVE SCOTT POOR SUPPORT
Bennington Pitcher Handicapped by
General inability When in
Need of Help

Bennington high school was over
whelmingly defeated on the old athlet-
ic field yesterday afternoon by Adams
high school, the score at the end of
the eighth inning when the game was
called, being 10 to 8. Hackett, the
Bennington catcher, was utterly UNI
able TO hold Pitcher Scott, and to his
misplays and the poor work of Moore
at short the large score made by Ad-
ans was principally due. With even
ordinary support behind the bat and
in the field Scott could have won his
game. He was hit for only nine safe
bingles,. one of them good for two
sacks but he struck out IL and gave
five free tickets On the other hand
Bennington hit Clancy, the Adams
southpaw for seven safeties, two of
them good for extra sacks and Clancy
gave free transportation to eight bat
tsrs
The game opened inauspiciously for
Bennington. Raidy the first man up
hit a grounder to Moore and the Ben
nington shortstop began his comedy
Of errors. Then Scott proceeded to
strike out three batters, but in two
instances Hackett dropped the third
strike and the batter went 10 first
When the inning was over Adams had
scored four runs with only one safe
hit being made Adams made two
hits and Bennington made three err
rors in the second inning and the res
ult was three more TALES for the
Mauuaghguatte IL, I,
two bases on balls a double error by
Moore gave Adams two more Ad-
ans made no hits in the fifth but a
FOase on balls and three infield errors
by Bennington added another pair of
TALES for Adams. The sixth was a
merry-go-round for the visitors. Two
Adams batters made two hits apiece
during the inning and five errors by
the home team staked up seven runs.
I In the seventh Adams made a run and
earned it, the only one of the 49,
Bennington did not score until the
third inning when the home team
got to- Clancy in good shape Hur-
ley, who succeeded HOLSTER at sec
ond base, started things with a hit
after lockwood had been passed. An
error by Clancy helped the runners
along An infeld fly by Hackett re-
tired lockwood but left the base full

of the game there was a prolonged
kick up by the Adams coach which
held up the game until every one pres
ent was thoroughly disguised, When

In the fourth Bennington scored
i one. lockwood, who was hit by a
/ pitched ball, making the circuit of the
bases on series of errors.

HAcKETT MONDAY EVENING
Well Known Actor at the Bennington
Opera House

Theatregoers have welcomed the
announcement of James X Hackett's
coming to Bennington on Monday,
May % at the local opera house in his
latest successful presentation THE
Kings Game" which has been des-
cribed as a satire on the romantic
play. In taking on that definition it
bears the same relation to the other
Hackett successes that Arms and the
Man" the Bernard Shaw satire did
in the Mansfield repertoire
The action of ''rhe Kings Game is
centered in a small European princi-
pality of the imaginary ilk, Aristo
cratic anarchists are plotting against
the king, who is the central parsonage
in the satire. He Is q fun-loving mon
arch as played by Mr.. Hackett; keen
to see things in their own settings,
and alert to the doings of everyone
about him.
The leader of the anarchists is Bar
on Won Trump. With his daughter,
they plan to kill the king by hurting
bomb at him during a parade which
| is to pass the streets of the capitol,
To a young workman who resembles
the king, the duty of throwing the
deadly bomb has been assigned, but
when the time for the explosion oc-
ours, it is the real king who throws
a fake" machine at a fake" king.
Woven with much intricacy is the
love story which concerns the king
and the Baron's daughter When
the final curtain falls, it is evident
/ that the turgid atmosphere has been
cleared and the king returns TO his
throne, while the girl, who has learn
ed to love the king, realizes his NOR
tality and from hater of kings be
comes a sympathizer with their han
dicaps.
Among the many successes in which
James X. Hackett has appeared the
best known have been "The Prisoner
of Zenda," Rupert Of Hentzau," "ThC
