Maurice Kent, formerly Of this city.

Mortified, Mimi, who was drafted,
from the Birmingham, Ala, Southern
league team, by the Brooklyn National
League club, has reported to the latter
club at Memphis, Tenn, for spring
practice and, according to reports from
that city, is considered by the Brook
Ign management as its most promising
recruit. In a game with the Memphis
team recently Kent worked in the box
for five innings, allowing but one hit
and striking out three batters. His
work, say the Memphis papers, is such
as to warrant the prediction that he
will occupy regular berth with the
Trolley Dodgers this season.
Last season Kent won fourteen
games and lost eight with the Birming-
ham club, ranking seventh among the
pitchers of the Southern league, which
boasts several great box artists. in

The playwright has provided

mighty power of trusts in an attempt
to crush the judiciary not favorable
to the monied Interests, as seen IN

and differing. materially, from the
usual plot. is the noticeable absence
Of lovemaking.
The plot Of the story is well and
logically told. the situations are clear-
ly drawn and not overdrawn. Charles
Mackay. in the leading role, gave a
very careful impersonation Of Wilbur
Emerson, the active head of the bank
ing system under surveillance, whose
love for his aged father, the nominal
head Of the institution, makes OF him
a character to be admired Joseph
Adelman. as James Darwin, the prose-
cutting attorney, was most natural in
his portrayal of the shrewd lawyer
who. for the political power that it
would bring him, was willing to sacri-
hce his old friends, even on a techni-
cality. Miss Lillian Kemble gave a
finished Characterization of Catherine
Darwin, the wife of the attorney and
the former sweetheart of Emerson.
FRANKLIN George was very good as
George Cowper, who suffers the pangs
Of remorse after having been used as
the tool Of Darwin to betray his own
associates. The remainder Of the sup
porting company was able turnout.

ENTER INTO STIPULATION
TO THAT EFFECT.
MUST BE ALLOWED
PER CENT EARNINGS

to Stipulation-VaIus to Be Deter
mined by Inventory = City Council
Not Ready to Authorize Stipulation.

The Marshalltown Light. Power and
Railway Company is willing to have
the city examine its books If the city
will agree that the public utilities COM
pany is entitled to an income of per
cent on the value of its property. A
stipulation to this effect has been pre-
pared The owners Of the company are
willing to sign 1t with the condition
mentioned included. The city council
has not yet authorized City Solicitor
+. E. Northup to enter into the stipula-
ton. and it may or may not do so.
Northup and the members Of the city
council had a conference on the ques
ton this forenoon, but nothing came
of it. The council wants to wait a
time to see what comes of the state
ment made by Jones & Hovey a short
time ago that they expected to make
a formal proposition to the city in a
little while to be included in a new
franchise.
Would Terminate Suit.
Such a proposition, provided it con-
Eained the things in the way of street
car extensions and rates for gas and
electricity that the council members
are holding out for, would probably
result IL :he snit in the federal court
being dropped. This case, which is
based on the Hull ordinance. is set for
trial in May. The members of the
council thought this forenoon that it
would be best to wait until it was
shown whether Jones G. Hovey were
really serious in their intention to
make some proposition that contained
the things the city wants before they
took any action regarding the stipula-
ton
Earnings Based on Inventory.
The stipulation provides that the S
per cent income that the company is
entitled to is to be based on the value
Of physical property of the corporation.
Any value the franchise may have. or
the good will of the company. is not to
be included.
1t also provides that the value Of the
property Is to be determined by an in
ventory made for the company, and
subject to approval by the city or
whomever it may employ for that pur-
pose. In case the company and the
city can not agree on the invoiced VAL
ue OF the property. the federal court
will decide the value.
City Solicitor Northup thinks the
is not unreasonable. Mayor
