THE STAGE

Edwin T. Emery, whose scenically
beautiful Oriental dancing legend,
The Awakening of Buddha,'' is the
headline offering on the Miles bill
this week, is a playwright as well as
a producer and the theater-going pub
lie Is likely to hear more of him in
the near future. When Daniel Froh-
man was in San Francisco, where
Mr.. Emery halls from, few months
ago. Emery submitted TO him the
manuscript OF play which he called,
The Love Pirates" based on a do
nestle incident OF real life that &C.
Cured In San Francisco. Mr.. Frah-
man looked 1t over I'm his hotel and
asked permission to take il back TO
New York with him. Recently Mr..
Emery was informed that the play
had been accepted, and he goes To
New York In about two weeks to at
tend the first rehearsals. The story
revolves around love affair between
the pretty young wife of an aged mil
lionaire and her step-son, who is OF
ner own age. In some respects IL is
reminiscent Of The Thief" Among
the stars who have been considered
as possible selections for leading wo-
man are Edna Goodrich, the divorced
wife OF Nat Goodwin, and Helen
Ware, who starred in The Third De-
gree" For several years past. Mr..
Emery has represented the Beiasco
interests on the Pacific coast

How Duluth & Mesaba Line
Was Acquired.

Oil King Thus Obtained Control
of Property, Which Now Pays
$500 Year on Each Share.
WASHINGTON, No,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The
winding ways OF finance as traversed
by John ID. Rockefeller were made
clear to the Stanley investigating
committee OF the house today.
How the oil king, for million-dol-
lar loan secured control OF the Du-
lufh, Mesaba and Northern railroad,
and it's interests in the Minnesota
Ore field, later valued at nearly ten
million dollars, was explained by c.
II. Martz, the engineer who construct
ed the line.
After the road had passed into
Rockefeller's hands MartZ asserted,
he was instructed TO make report,
to show that the road was valued at
nearly 100000.
This report was 10 be submitted
TO the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission said Martz, In
order to show that the freight rates
charged on ore represented a reason
able return OF the money invested In
the road and were not exorbitant.'
Under whose instruction did you
pad this report?"
Under instructions from George
Wildwood Murray, personal counsel
for John ID. Rockefeller, and his asso=
ciate, Joseph e. Cotton"
An interesting sidelight was shown
when Martz told OF losing nineteen
shares OF stock In Duluth, Mesaba
and Northern railroad.
"In order to raise money to build
a branch line | was told that we had
10 use all the railroad stock as Sc
curity In New York. | turned over
part OF my holdings. 10 shares, with
out indorsing them"
Where did those shares go?" de-
manded Gardner.
II understand they went TO Mr..
Rockefeller's Office" he said. Later
| was told that Mr.. Rockefeller OBJ
jected to having his employees hold
stock in his concern and | was offer
ed s25 a share for the stock. l final
ly settled on $40 share. That stock
now pays about 5000 share year
in dividends"
Martz said that he had never re-
ceived any return from the shares,
which he supposed to be in Rookie
feller's office.
did You ever make any EFFORT TO
locate that stock?" asked Gardner.
mo, | was informed that so long
as I did not make any investigation

HAS PLAN TO REDUCE
JANITORSHIP COST

Wholesale economies in the janitor
service in the public schools are
planned by the Board of Education
committee on janitors and supplies.
In the regular meeting OF the com

had recently contracted for janitor
service i'm his store with "A firm en-
ploying a large force Of men, and the
system. he said had resulted in a saw
ing OF rs per cent. while the store
presented better appearance than
ever before lie thought the board
could profitably contract for this ser
vice for the schools, and dispense
with the services Of the large force
OF assistant janitors now on the rolls
The other members seemed TO think
the suggestion good one. and will
look into the matter.
Goldberg's suggestion followed one
made by Supervisor Stewart for the
employment of supervising engineer
at a salary of about $500 per year
10 exercise general supervision over
the engineers in the schools. under
the direction of the supervisor. The
committee thought the idea a good
one and may recommend it's adop-
ton. The installation Of time clocks
i'm all the high schools was recon-
mended.
The committee will submit report
Thursday night. on their investiga-
ton OF the high school lunch rooms
In the Eastern and Western high
schools the committee found that the
lunch rooms were badly crowded al
certain hours and the methods in the
Eastern are declared to be rather hap.

that Mrs John Sebert the present
