AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

Pleasing variety to suit a wide range of taste is the distin,guis hing feature at the Auditorium for the last half of the week in the four numbers that opened there on Thursday. In the heavy dramatic sketch, The Trust Magnate, Montserrat and Cronin hold the topline place, with a strong emo tional number which is well handled, and lighter line in the three other numbers is seen.
 Ye Colonial Wizards, Kalna and La farlon, have a clever and entertaining act, in which the feature is the curi- ous levitating ball and the cabinet trick, in which Miss Lafarlon disap- pears from the cabinet, and is found in box across the stage.
 Na1on with an electrical musical novelty, produces some pretty melodi : ous and scenic effects which win the gavor of the audience. The fourth num- Der is an operatic songologue Nby Fred erick and Heston, in which they show a near Calone effect in one of their song numbers The moving picture films provide entertaining subjects of much merit.

Franklin Square Express Business
Hearing on Bill Which Gives Authority to Town and City Officials to Designate Where the Work Can Be Done Extension Down Shetucket Street Would Pro- vide Remedy Here.

such express business or in conducting, directing or managing the same, or any person in charge of any car used In such business, who shall disobey on violate any regulation or the order pre- scribiEg the same made according to the provisions of sections 1 and here- of, shall be fined not more than fifty dollars or imprisoned not more than three months, or shall be punished by both such fine and Imprisonment.
 H. K Punderford, general manager of the Connecticut company, asked MT. Craney if he could suggest any means of relieving the conditions he objected to. MT. Craney replied that he thought a general statute forbiddmg the prac- tice would be the proper method. MT Punderford inquired where Mir. Craney would have the. trolley express business in his city shandled. to which MT. Cra- nsy replied that all h9 could say was that tine company was responsible for the objectionable condition and that the company should be expected to remedy 1t.
 The attorneys of the Connecticut company and M. J. Leary, general traffic manager, were agreeable that the conditions in Franklin square in relation to handling express was an- moving and to be avoided, but that there is no way to overcome it without inconvenience to the public It was also stated by the officials of tho company that there IS measure now peIUlnE in the legislature which if passed will allow the company to extend its tracks through Shetucket street. at the foot of which the express business, it Is i'm tended, shall be handled.
 While agreeing that they desired to relieve such congestion as is caused in the square by their express business, the representatives of the company voiced the opinion that city ordinance rather than general legislation might be enacted to regulate the matter.
 MT. Leary spoke of a conference with Mayor Thayer relative to this matter and also that it had been practically agreed to build a station at the foot of Shetucket street and the effort to se cure franchise for the laying of the tracks is now being made.
 Some criticism was made by Attor- ney Robinson of section of the bill, in effect that 1t would lay motormen and conductors liable to the penalties pro- vided for, but MT. Craney haStened to explain that that was not the intent of the measure, and said later that he would withdraw the bill in preference to making such employees of the com pany liable to personally pay fines or to be imprisoned He said the intent was to have the act so drawn that the company could not escape punishment for the violation of it's provisions.
