M'CALL SETS WEDNESDAY
Estimate Board Also May APP
prove Subway Contracts Then.

This will he an important week IN the
transit situation. Chairman Mccall. II
the Public Service Commission. who spent
yesterday at his home studying the pro-
posed contracts for the dual transit sys-
tenn and the arguments that have been
made for and against their execution.
said he expected TO be able 10 announce
his decision on Wednesday.
II is the general belief OF those who
nave talked with him that he has found
nothing wrong with the contracts. and It
the worst may suggest only few minor
changes, which probably would be readily
assented 60 by the companies. The I'M
preston Yesterday was that the commits
sion would probably be able to approve
the contracts the same day Chairman Nc
Call reaches a decision. That would mean
that they would go TO the Board OF rs
tirnste at its regular Thursday meeting.
There is some difference Of opinion as
10 whether that board should take lmme-
date action or course, all the members
Of the board are thoroughly familiar with
every detail Of the contracts ana nave
made up their minds on them long ago.
President McAneny. however. believes
that out OF Difference to public opinion
the Board Of Estimate and Apporuon-
ment should take several days Tor con-
slderation and give public hearing. Such
a hearing. however. could not be more ~
tcnsive than the regular hearings OF the
hoard and should not take more than an
hour OF so.
OF course there is the chance That
Judge I-acombe in the Federal Court 20
morrow may grant the Injunction asked
for by j. Aspinwall Hodge on behalf of
certain minority stockholders OF the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company which is
designed 10 prevent the ratification Of the
nrop,sed mortgage OF tl1O.00o"0 by the In
terborough- Metropolitan company by the
majority of the stockholders OF that com
pany.
Such an injunction. IL granted, would
probably deter the marlborough officials
from signing the contracts But II would
not act in any way To prevent the city
officials from approving and getting them
into shape for signing. However those
interested in the contracts did not express
any fear last night that Judge Lacombe
would find II necessary To hold up the
signing OF the contracts by granting an
injunction.

SECOND DEGREE MURDER
VERDICT FOR STRIKERS
Five of Ten Italians, Tried for
the Murder of Capt. Craw,
Get from 8 to 80 Years.

Hackensack. y. j., Feb 22-Five Of the
ten Italian strikers who have been on
trial In the Bergen County courts al
Hackensack for the last two weeks on the
charge OF murder were convicted of MUIR
are Antonio Ferraro. Mariana De Lucia
Constantine and Antonio Celia and An
tonic Mancini The other five were ac-
quilted and were promptly released.
The ten men were tried for the murder
Of Captain Andrew j. Craw in the strike
riot at the Susquehanna Railroad coal
yards at Shadyside. near Edgcwater. on
December II. at which time dozen other
detectives were badly wounded. Detec-
tive Clarence Mallory was killed at this
time. Justice Charles W. Parker, Of the
Supreme Court. who presided at the trial
pronounced sentence on the convicted
men. despite the objections Of the three
lawyers for the defence.
When Ferraro received the ntermedi
ate sentence OF fifteen TO thirty years he
smiled and said. Il thank you" Justice
Parker remarked 10 De Lucia who re-
ceiyed similar sentence. that the mass
Of evidence pointed to him a. the leader
Of the strike riot and one OF the three
men who were seen 10 leave the body OF
Captain Craw. one witness said he saw
De Lucia fire shot at Captain Craws
head as he lay dying on tie ground. The
Celia brothers received from ten 10 thirty
years each and Mancni eight TO thirty
years.
Constantine Celia is only nineteen years
old and understood. The court expressed
regret at his conviction on such seri
Gus charge. but said that the evidence
showed that he. though the youngest was
the widest OF all the rioters and the most
excited and ungovernable.
1T was this boy remarked Justice
Parker who chased General Superin-
tendent Stone OF the Erie over high
trestle during the riot and shot al the
ofiicial three times. This same lad also
shot Lieutenant John V. Ryerson in the
breast with a 32-calbre revolver ana fred
at three other detectives"
The jury received the case at O'Clock
last evening and reported at II o'clock
this morning. The five defendants ac-
quilted were Nicola lossa Ferdinand Fer

At THE GRAND:

Robin Hood and his merry men in
vaded the Grand last night. The De
Koven Opera company played to a
small house that should have been
larger. Most of the audience agreed
the operetta was the best that had
been in Topeka for years. It has been
somewhat neglected since the days
when it was the most popular Of the
famous Bostonians' repertoire.
Misha Ferenzo as Robin Hood was
a distinct disappointment. He sang
Of brown, October ale, when he
should have praised red Italian wine
with a foreign accent. Fancy the
big Saxon speaking browen English
an italian may take almost any role,
speaking Broadway slang would be
no more incongruous. The bowman
who led his jolly band through the
groves of Sherwood forest is one of
the most distinctly English characters
in history, fiction or folklore. Feren-
20 has a fair tenor voice-but he
should choose another Of De Koven's
many works.
Perhaps the opera is a favorite be-
cause it tells Of the most picturesque
time imaginab1e-there isn't a man
who had read robin Hood, without
q thrill for adventures longing to
know more about Friar Tuck, Little
John and Alan a Dale. Harry Smith
has chosen the tales surrounding him
most adapted to the stage-De Koven
has written his most charming music
Tor the opera And people flock to
see Robin Hood -
The plot is well known-Robert of
Huntington, defrauded of his title by
the sheriff Of Nottingham, is made
captain of a mad band of outlaws:
captured by the sheriff, disguised as
a tinker: and rescued in time to wed
Maid Marian. almost forced to marry
Guy Of Osborne.
Joseph Parsons, as Little John, had
the most notable voice in the cast
his splendid solo. Brown October
Ale," was repeatedly encored. Jer-
ONE Daley, as Will Scarlet, gave the
armorer's song delightfully."- Enrica
Clay made a jaunty Maid Marian
slightly too large for the part. He
lena Morrill,. who sang Annabel. the
coquette. was as dainty as Dresden
china. Sara Maxon as Alan-a-Dale
lacked the boytsh charm which some
clever actors hHve been able to instill
into the part; 20 Promise Me-" writ
ten by De KoSen especially for the
opera. was prettily given. Miss Mar
on is a concert singer-felt a bit
strange in Alan's doublet and hose
rockingham, who created the role
twenty years ago. made funny little
F'riar Tuck. Branson was a rfdfcu-
lous sheriff
Ine chorus deserves nothing but
praise-the voices were unusually
good. The scenic effects and cos
tunes were artistic. Except that
Robin Hood said tree" for three.
and rolled his RS far too deliciouslv.
the opera left pothing to be desired.

BIG CHRISTMAS TREE.
One IS Feet High to BE Set Up in
Grant Park.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Grant park is to be
turned into a fairyland Christmas eve
for the children Of the poor. They are
to have a mammoth Christmas tree, per-
haps the largest ever used for the pur-
pose. The committee in charge of the
arrangements announced today they
would not be satisfied with tree less
than Is feet high.
It is to stand in the center Of the
park upon a broad pedestal covered
with frost and Illuminated by hundreds
of colored bulbs. Widely known ar
lists and architects are collaborating
on a decorative scheme.
The festival will begin at shutdown
with the ringing Of chimes in the art
institute. A great chorus will sing
carols on the terrace of the institute.
Then a rocket will signal the illumi-
nation of the tree, the park and the
building along Michigan boulevard.
