''It it's good they'll come and if it's not, they won't he said Tho truthfulness of this statement ia duly proved at the Plaza Theatre this week The show is good and the large audi ences that daily pack the comfortable theatre appreciate this fact or they would not be there.

STEEL GAR CALLED TOMB
Wooden Kind Better Says a New Ha-
 ven Road StockhoIder.

New York, Sept. 6-That steel cars are more dangerous than wooden cars, because they act as a ''stee1 tonnb' in case of a collision, was the assertion of Philip Dexter, a member of the New Haven railroads stockholders committee, who arrived here yester- day on the Mauretania. He said the public was all wrong in thinking that steel cars were safer.
 'It is a, mistake he said, flor the public to clamor for steel cars. They are more dangerous than the wooden cars.''
 Asked his reason, MT. Dexter said:
 "In the event of a collision with the steel cars, the doors, windows, and and the people inside the cars are locked in a, steel tomb.''
 MT. Dexter went on to express his faith in the ability of Howard Elliott, the railroads new president, to achieve a much-needed and thorough reorganization.
 President Mellen devoted too much of his time to the Boston & Maine railroad, and not enough to the New Haven,'' he said. ''Mr. Elliott is a very competent man, and if given time, will probably bring the road up to date in every particular.
 A fellow passenger was George von L. Meyer, >ex-secretary of the navy, who is now chairman of the stock holders committee of the New Haven. PercivaI Roberts, a director of the road, was another passenger.
 MT. Meyer would not talk about the waIIingford wreck, but MT. Roberts said he believed the roads needed re- organization He declared that it had been ''damned'' by the public and now it was damned" by it's employees.

ATTRACTIONS 1.-THE THEATRES
POLES THEATER

Cuteness, refinement and a person a1ity are qualities which appeal to the theatre going public as is evidenced by the reception which has during the last half of this week been accorded to little Violet MacMi1an, dimfnutive queen of vaudeville, now appearing at the PoH Main street house! So small is she and with foot so tiny that she has gained the sobriQuet "C1nderel1a
 of vaudeville. She wears but a child s I2 E shoe and is the envy of all who see her tread upon the boards.
 Sayden Stevenson & Company, in cIuding two of the Poli Stock Com pany former stars-Stevenson and Miss Sylvia, Starr-in their hit The Love Specialist" present today that pleasing one act drama for the last time Miss Starr in her portrayal of the s'woman in the case infuses much dramatic talent as well as that neces- Sary Eghtness of tone which com mands appreciation from her audi ences. wherever she shows. In the PoH WiEk es-Barre theatre where she had a, long run she was idolized.
 Dunbar, & Turner, the f'Daffidils in their sUfragette characterizations are a roaring riot and with a "nutty i'm ish furnish the spice which is needed at all such banquets as the Dill thls week. Alverson & Weston presenting their tango dances show the class de man000 T George & Lilly Garden are the musi- cal wonders on the xy1ophones. The Petitel Family of acrobats present a novel and artistic representation or what is new in tumbling and feats of strength.
 For the coming week a particularly strong number of acts has been se- erred by Manager PoE including Norinpe Carmen and her Six Merry MinstreIs who will headline in a pre- tentious act of comedy, harmony and n1irth Such additional star acts as Prof. Emmett, John T. Murray, White, Pelzer & White, Harlan & Witt and inc great attraction the Monita f1ve' in a musical offering will also be seen.

MORGAN WITHDRAWS AS NEW
 HAVEN ROADS FISCAL AGENT
Railroads Executive Committee Notified That Banking Firm Will Terminate Relations at Expiration
 of Ninety Days

interviewers last night that if the New Haven desired to secure the services of the Morgan firm in it's financial business or if it should wish to make a new contract for a fiscal agency or to make other financial arrangem ents the firm was ready to stand back of the road and would do so after con- sideration of the offer
 MT. Morgan said that the action was purposeIy taken by the firm entirely of it's own accord and without con suItation with directors or the officers of the new administration. Howard Elliott, the new president of the road, was not consulted.
 That the action of the firm DOT tends the retirement of MT. Morgan from the directorate a gradual withdrawal of his personal holdings and interest in the road or those of the Morgan firm was denied last night by MT. Morgan.
 Syndicate to Stand.
 MT. Morgan said that the new issue of $67, ,552,40O per cent. debentures which has been authorized by the stockholders and underwritten by a Morgan syndicate, in which the First National Bank and the National City Bank are the other leading particf- pants, and is now awaiting the ap- prova1 of the Massachusetts Public Service Commission, would stand un- changed by the action of yesterday.
 The contract has been signed and all arrangements have been completed On this underwriting the mem bers of the syndicate are to receive per cent. commission. with one-ha1f of 1 per cent. to go to the Morgan firm as the syndicate managers.
 This commission was objected to in the stockholders meeting by ex-Sena- tor Bulke1ey of Hartford, the pres 1dent of the Aetna Life Insurance Company, and which he will oppose before the Massa achusetts Public Ser vice Commission.
 MT. Morgan was asked last night if the abrogation of the New Haven fis- cal agency contract meant that J! F. Morgan & Go. would withdraw from similar contracts held with other roads, notably the New York Central Lines
 He replied that he did not know. but that the termination of the New Haven contract was the result. of the special conditions in the road brought about through the entrance of a new administration in= it's management. It was implied that though such with drawa1 was under consideration noth- ing had been decided upon and that action would chiefly be guided by special circumstances such as obtained in the case of the New Haven.

Bryant said that the property owners in that section objected to resetting curb and gutters in front of their property unless the pavement was laid before winter sets in.

 William Collier, one of the foremost comedians on the American stage
 comes to the Park theatre next We'd nesday evening. in Who's Who?" a brand new farce written especially for him by Richard Harding Davis MT Collier made one of the biggest hits of his career several years ago in ''The Dfctator," by MT. Davis That was when MT. Collier was one of Charles Frohman's stars and he has just re- turned to MT. Frohman's management The play opens with a scene in the White Hope Saloon at Last Chance Arizona. Sarah Cooper is the proprie- tress of the place and she has her brother, champion prize fighter, and all the cowboys of the district under her thumb. ''Soapy Sam one of the cowboys is her favortte. She suggests matrimony to him and he tells her his story. His real name is Lester Ford and he's from Massachusetts He hates. being a cowboy and he longs to go back home, but he doesn't t. dare Seven years before when he first came west and had bought himself a full cowboy outfit, everything neatly marked with his name he was set up- on by a highwayman and robbed. A little later the same highwayman held up express train and killed a Wells Fargo agent. The sheriff found his gun bearing Lester F'ord's name and so when he was shot to pieces by the pursuing posse and kicked beyond recognition by his own pony he was supposed to have been Lester Ford and was buried under that name. The real Lester Ford, now called "Soapy Sam" on account of his liking for soap and water, had seen the grave and had read on the tombstone an in script1on -1'The WeIls-Fargo Never F'orgets.' Consequently as it was Lester Ford who was supposed to have robbed the express train he has never dared to claim that cognomen. Just then along comes lawyer from Massachusetts hunting, Lester Ford, whose father has died leaving him a fortune. He recognizes ''Soapy Sam" as the man he is seeking. "'Soapy" sticks to it that he is not Lester Ford only looks like him. The lawyer then confesses that he is the executor of the elder FNord's will and that he has embedded the funds of the estate Will 'Soapy'' for a considera ton, go back to Massac achusetts, pass himself off as Lester Ford whom he so much resembl claim the legacy and help the lawyer out of his scrape- "Soapy'' for reasons of his own, consents and the rest of the play is taken up with his subsequent adventures at his old
