COLLEGE OF BISHOPS
 LOSE VANDY FIGHT

Nashville March 21-The Tennessee supreme court today decided the case in volving the control of Vanderbilt univer- sity in favor of the university board of trust, and against the college of bishops of the Southern Methodist church. Tht court held that the board of trust was q self-perpetuating body.
 The court holds. however, that the board of trusts selections are subject to confirmation by the general confer ence, or the church board of education, but sit until rejected.
 The Asheville general conference selec- tlons for the board of trust are denied their seats, the trustees elected by the board of trust in June, 1910, namely, Claude Waller and Tsvpert F. jackson, of Nashville, and J. A. Robins of Me- Kenzie, Tenn, are seated. pending re- jection.
 The court held that Commodore Cor nellus Vanderbilt and not the Southern Methodist church. was the founder and original patron of Vanderbilt university.
 Under the decision the college of bish- ops veto of the acceptance by the board of trust of Andrew carnegie's million dollar gift to the medical department is without effect.

Neil O'Brien's MinslreIs


 Nell o'Rrien proved his right to the title of "one of the leading opponents of the blackface art by his clever and original work in tho minstrel pro- gramme given at tho Jefferson thea ire yesterday afternCon and night He was the distinctive hit of the show, his number smile, Just Simply smile was the feature of the first part md his portrayal of the negro politician in the travesty, Parcel Post" Was highly dlverting
 He has gathered together very capable company of singers and dan- eers and the performance goes with the snap that makes 1t enjoyable. The sing ing numbers were very well rendered especially the selection by Leslie Bar ". When the Twiiisht Comes to Kiss the Rose Good Night" and that by Ed die Ross. Play He That Banjo Rag The jokes of the comedians had the unusual advantage ci being new and original, feature rarely noticeable in the present-dav minstrel offerings.
 The staging of the opening scene was on an elaborate scale and had the add ed novelty of beins shown in the finale of the performance
 Of the speciaIt'es in the afterpart the sketch Parcel Postp with Neil oBrien in the leading role was by far the best of the production, while Ed die Ross caught tine audience with his clever monologue and bango speciality. The Story in Dan'ing" was very en- tertaining and decided novelty in the | terpsichorean art. The closing feature l Good Night White Folks with the boy contra-tenor. Master George Ha- gen, was quite a departure from the usual minstrel performances and proved very acceptable. c. II. NJ.
