uoesoN uPHoLps STATUTE.
Minimum Wage Law For Teachers -
Held TO 30 Constitutional.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 3O.-Judge A. N.
Hobson is deserving Of gold medal.
He 10 one district Judge in Iowa VINO
in recent years has held constitutional
an Iowa law. He decided that the Iowa
minimum wage law for teachers is
constitutional, and those who oppose
the law are bringing it to the supreme
court to have it knocked out at that
place. This will be one more added to
a fine string Of constitutional ques-
tons to come before the courts here.
Judge Hobson, however. in Clayton
county, recently held that there was no
law to compel county auditor to caN
together the county educational board
for the purpose Of fixing the salary OF
q deputy county superintendent. The
effort was made to compel the auditor
to act and he refused. 1t seems that
the law is lame at this point; tho IN
most counties the boards have met ana
fixed salaries and probably this Will pc
done in most counties.

DAVE MARION HIT
 IN NEW SHOW HERE.
Land Of Impossible A Un;qe Type Of BurEesque Which
 Will Supt rcede Old

Dave Marion brought his Land of Impossible" to Bridgeport last night for the first time and while he has ever been popular, the best effort of. his creative mind received an ovati on such has seldom been accorded bur leSque. In fact, the land A- 1-anosst- ble, is further away from the ola type of bIrlesque than is usually credited. The whole smacks of musical comedy Illusion and the spectacles which Irine K1ralfy first introduced here.
 There is a charming book, entirely original, with the exception of the cab-specialty portrayed by Dave him. self with the assistance of a comedy horse which is admirably worked by two of his cast for good effect. The lyrics while not heavy in point Of number are we'll selected and with the chorus blend throughout with the plot which is not distorted in the usual manner to provide routine for member of the company.
 Beginning with the opening scene which portrays Broadway and 42nd street there is a harmony of lines, lyric, costume, characterization which in conception and direction show the hand of rnaster-mind, seeking a more far-reaching purpose than the present financial gain. A ship scene closing the first act, with an effective ly staged illusion of a ship explosion and wreck, is a masterpiece. The second act in which specially prepared scenery shows a combination of the principal buildings of ancient Rome, Greece, Naples, Egypt is not only beautiful in it's co1oring and thought, but lends a novelty to burlesque which has long been lacking to elevate. It may be said that during the whole performance nothing savoring of the suggestive is apparent and the large attendance of women last night is a tribute to what elevated .buFlesque of this type will mean to contemporary opposition.
 Marion himself is the backbone of the piece, infusing that comedy for which he is noted, and utilizing his vocal speciality to the best advantage. Around him are finished and versatile comedians, dancers and legitimate artists whose efforts are such that few can criticize even in a friendly spirit. The Land of Impossib ible'' will long serve as a criterion to producers of high class entertainment for theft imitation.

Opposition to Pope
 As Receiver for His
 Hartford Corporation

Hartford, Nov. 7-AIthough there was opposition to. the confirmation of Col. George Pope as temporary re- ceiver of the Pope Misunderstanding Company at the hearing before Judge Joseph P. Futile. in the superior court today Col. Pope was confirmed as tenn porary receiver and a hearing on the appointment of a permanent receiver will be held in the supreme court De- cember 5.
 C. c. Barton, representing a stock holders protective committee in Bos- ton comprehending 25,ss6 shares, said his clients wanted representation on the board of receivers and asked for the appointment of Frank J. Tyler of Boston, who has been connected with the automobile business for many years MT. Barton declared that the interests which he represents object tothe present management Of tAe cos<4- pany which they say has been ex- trava gant.
 Lawyer Blodgett, of Boston, who said he represented holders of more than half the net indebtedness which in all is about $500, ,0O0, distributed in Massachusetts and New York, said his

clients did not ask for the removal of Col. Pope but believed that to get everything out of it possible there must be more money borrowed ana naturally from practically the same lenders. His clients-the banking in terests-wished for the additional ap- pointrnent of Charles Morss, of Bos- ton, a manufacturer and banker.
 Arthur L. Shipman, counsel for the company, said the Boston people were not familiar with receiverships in the Connecticut state court
 Attorney Nutter, of Boston, appear ed with MT. Barton for certain stock holders and said there is no doubt the creditors will be paid in full. He argued for all three receivers. MT. Shipman contended that very little money will be necessary to carry on the receivership and if any is need ed the loans will be amply protect ed. As a business policy any smash up is ridiculous, he said.
 Lucius F. Robinson spoke for a To- cal stockhoIder who holds more than one-quarter of the stock. He said there is no force in the charge of mis- management and extravaganza.
 Judge William E.- Heney, represent ing merchandise creditors to the ex- tent of $3OO,OoO said a temporary re- ceiver is all that is needed at this time.
 MT Barton said his charge of mis- management did not mean dishones- ty.

 As we gather on the day above ap- pointed in family reunions and in the House of God. may we forget that the legend of our seal remains yet true, and the sustaining help He gave unto our fathers He still gives to us,A Let us enter into His gates with Thanksgiving ad into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him and bless His name.
 For the Lord is God: His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
 Given under my hand and the seal of the state at the capitol in Hart ford, this seventh day of November. in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and thirteen, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty eighth.

Lion Resenting
 Iravesty On Hamlet
 Seeks Diet Of Ham

The inherent presence of mind which is often necessary to keep a theatrical audience from panic is well illustrated by reports of a happening, last week, at the Nixon theatre, in Philadelphia, where a captive lion be- came loose upon the stage and was only captured after a most thrilling experience behind the scenes. AL though the lion in it's wnanderinngs ap- peared before the footlightss owing partially to fear and partly to the knowledge that one false move upon their part. the performers in J Albert Halls Kid Hamlet act, now playing at the Poft theatre here, made nd outcry upon the brute's appearance and continued their part until the trainer could coax it from their pres ence.
 Tn the cant which had this terrify- ing experience are J. A. Hall, Betty Thaw, OrYille Mathews and William Kent The act which is one of clever up to- date travesty upon Hamlet, con- tains many lines which are novel and most appropriate was that which came directly after the appearance of the jungle king where Miss Thaw says ssHe is no more to be feared than a bull-dog." It is said that the audi ence little realizing their danger went wild with enthusiasm.
 In speaking of the incident yesterr day Miss Thaw, who has played with all the leading stars, her last 1egiti- mate effort being with Henrietta Crossnan, last winter: We had. be- fore going upon the stage for our act been discussing what would happen if one of the eleven lions caged by Miss Adgie should get loose.

 Though almost speeches. I man aged to utter my lines. The King in
 response returned my cues and though suffering from a seven inch gash in his leg inflicted by fall

 of PhiIad delphia's brave police to get
 away from the scene MT. Mathews, taking the part of Hamlet entered the room and the lion stalked directly to him. It was later decoyed from the stage by it's trainer.
 .aThe horror of the situation froze US all to our tracks. but in talking of the matter afterwards it seemed to us the best thing to do was to remain quiet.

SMITH MAY NOT BE SMITH

A strange resemblance between Ar thur R. Smith of New York, now in jail awaiting trial from Norwa1k on an arson charge, and some, as yet un- known person has started an investi- gation on the part of the authorities. There is a suspicion that he may be known in the criminal world and a rumor that he may be connected with the famous larson squad'' of New York and other cities. Police Chief William R. Pennington of South Nor
 walk went to New York today with
