New York Public Service Says Proof to Purchase Rutland Stock Is Un-
 satisfactory
ORDERS ANOTHER HEARING
Commission Asserts It Is Within It's Function to In quire Into Purposes of Deal.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 6-The public service commission, second district, has notified the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad company and the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad company that the proof submitted by these companies on ap- plications asking that the New York Central be allowed to purchase the majority stock Of the New York, On tario & Western company and the New Haven to purchase the stock of the Rutland Railroad company is not sufficient and satisfactory to the com mission and a further hearing has been called to the end that the appi- cants may give further proof as to matters concerning which the com mission desires further enlightenment.
 The commission deems 1t essential rected and those who took part in the negotiations. should be produced as witnesses and full disclosure be made of the purposes of the contracting parties.
 The commission points out that three important matters are involved in each of these applications:
 1-Protection of rights Of minority stockholders.
 2-Control of comparatively small railroads by great systems.
 3-Possihle elimination of competi- tion by absorption of competing line.
 It is pointed out by the commission that the control of comparatively small roads by great trunk line sys- tems has been a fruitful source of complaint in the past and that the public service commissions law pro- vides that no transactions such as contemplated shall take place in this stata unless authorized by the com mission.
 The commission asserts that it is clearly it's function to inquire into the purposes of the deal; that is what the seller and buyer had in mind in en- tering into neEotiations and consum- ma ting them especially in view of the great power of the contracting par ties to use the smaller roads for utter for purposes.

THE NEW LYRIC
FATHER AND THE BOYS"

FATHER AND THE BOYS''
 The offering for the current week at the new Lyric theatre, William H. Cranes great comedy success, 'sFa- ther and the Boys. opens this even ing, and judging by the advance sale of seats, there will not be a vacant seat in the theatre at the time Of
 ringing up" The desire to see this play enacted by the Frank Carpenter Stock Company is so strong that the sale Of seats for the entire week, in fact, exceeds anticipations, and the biggest houses of the season are ex- pected-
 In Father and the Boys", the prin- cipal character will be assumed by James Devtne, who has already found a vast amount of favor as the comed- ian of the Carpenter Stock Company MT. Devine, in each separate and dis tinct character in which he has been seen, has acquitted himself ~Tith entire credit, and his many friends antici- pate that in Father and the Boys he will surpass himself.
 In Father and the Boys Miss Cleveland and MT. Conness have good those of the past several weeks. They afford the players brief respite from the cares of more serious roles, and they are therefore glad to drop the royal mant eS for a while. MT. De- vine, who has been chosen to take the leading character in Father and the Boys, Is a comedian of exceptional ability, which has been demon strated often enough here so that people have come to know him and to like him. He Is a member of the Knights of Columbus, of White Plains lodge, B. P. O. F., and also holds affiliation with a number of other fraternaI bod ies- He is a college bred man, and possessed a natural gift of humor which makes his work come exceed ingly easy to him.

 The entire original stage settings and accessories of Father and the Boys has been procured by MT. Car. penter. and will be shown in the local production. This in itself was an added expense, but both Messrs. Car penter and ISham are Ce' 'ermIned that nothing is too good for their patrons, and they spare neither pains nor ex- perse in keeping their word to pro- vide only the best to be had There will be the usual matineeS Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the reg ular Lyric scale of prices will prevail Get your seats early, however, for the demand ensures crowded houses for every performance, and you may get left if you wait too long.

PARK THEATRE
Nazfrnova Tonight

Nazimova is to be seen in ''The
 Marionet at the Park theatre, this evening. In this announcement there is much of interest, but there need be none of misgiving, for tho play Is a comedy and partakes not a. all of the characteristics usually a-S- gociated with 'Nazimova play" Her eerie personality has proven, how ever, to be just as potent in Wolff as in Ibsen, and her first comedy incur sion has shown a broadness in her art that has been hidden until now. The story Is one of a beautiful and a very young wife, who submerged her good looks because she did not re- cognize them, and dressed unbecorn- 1ngIy until she found that men, even Husbands are attracted by attractive ness, and then started out to win the love of a husband who had mar ried her only for her "dot.' Of course, she wins. but there are stony roads to travel before she does so. And there is much in the nimble Frenchman's play that is amusing in both situation and dialogue
