"STREETS OF TOXIC"
At Methodist Church Great Success
Will Be Continued, Today.

THE New Minister" presented at
the Green street Methodist church, on
Thursday evening, was a decided hit
and drew a large audience. Thirty
people were in the cast and there was
not a dull moment during the produc-
ton. The play gave a vivid descrip-
ton of the methods used by church
societies to secure the particular kind
of minister they wanted, the ball
club desiring a minister who could
play short stop, and the choir want
ing only a musical genius.
The part of the new minister, Rev.
Homer Alexander Brown" was admir-
ably taken by Mr.. Bragg. During the
action of the play Is musical num-
bers were rendered in a charming
manner, under the direction of Miss
Cassie Bradford, with Miss Leila
Hutchins as pianist
The play was given in connection
with the streets of Toxic Bazaar
which was opened in the vestry of the
church, Thursday afternoon. The yes
try was transformed into a small Jap
anese city, the streets being desig-
mated by rows of blossom laden cher
~ trees; and the decorations used
were artistic japanese articles. AL
sorts of fancy goods, embroidery. and
Japanese goods were on sale at the
booths, where trade was heavy dur
ing the afternoon and evening. The
sale was a great success and will be
continued, today (F'riday).

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE declination OF
Judge Lands to accept jurisdiction in the
suit of Elsie De Wolfe designed to test
the constitutionality of the income tax
law. Is regarded by the attorneys con-
cerned as tending to expedite decision by
the supreme court of the United States.
w. Bourke Cochran of counsel for the
plaintiff will file an appeal, three weeks
hence, upon his return from vacation
in Europe.
Today's proceedings were brief Miss
De Wolfe sued the Continental and Com
mercial Trust and Savings Bank for in
terest on bonds, which interest the bank
withheld because she had not filed GER
tifcate of ownership as required by the
income tax law. Levy Mayer, for the
hank. demurred to the effect that the
limited States district court did not have
iurisdiction. 1t was a matter of con-
tract between plaintiff and defendant and
should be adjudicated by the courts OF
Cook county.
Judge Lands upheld this contention
without prejudice to the constitutionaity
IT was sought to involve. All points OF
the plaintiff were noted and clear rec
ord handed to Attorney Cochran for use
in his appeal.

PLAY PROVES PLEASING.
Roger Williams Club Presents 1.-THE
Cotter's Saturday Night

THE Cotter's Saturday Night was
presented, Thursday evening, at the
First Baptist vestry, in connection
with the Christmas sale of the Roger
Williams Club. The play, filled with
the old Scotch melodies, drew full
house. The action of the play was
small, but in a very realistic way the
home life of a Scotch family was rep
resented, all the representations re
1ecting credit. Among the many mu-
steal numbers, one in particular, duet
by Miss Lucille Davies and Mrs. Ralph
Conant, received great applause. And
Miss Ethelle Garside rendered several
solos in a very acceptable manner.
The entertainment was given un-
der the direction of the Misses Ethelle
Garside and Bessie Weston. The sale
of fancy goods will be continued in the
vestry, today (Friday).
