At Normal Monday Evening.

AT Normal Chapel on Monday evening
was heard one of the most beautiful re-
citals of the year, given by Miss Jeanie
Barron Hurst, professor of expression of
the Normal faculty. As an interpreter
of great workS-Miss Hurst has proven
herself to be master of high rank. In
giving Lohengrin, most difficult and
lengthy work, her remarkable memory
was at all times her faithful servant
Her enunciation was clean and clear,
her voice pure and her emotion at times
intensely dramatic.
The recital was interspersed with mu-
steal selections from the opera, played
upon beautiful grafanola, loaned by
Prof. Stott, of Eastern Normal
1t is TO be hoped that Miss Hurst will
give Richmond audiences frequent OPP
portuniies of hearing her wonderful in
terpretive recitals.

"The Dawn of a Tomorrow

The Dawn of Tomorrow" drama
tization OF Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett's beautiful story of optimism. will
be revived by the Poll Players next week,
with Miss Frances Nelson in the big
role Of Glad that was created. in the orig
inal production by Eleanor Robson and
afterward played by Gertrude Elliott in
the United States and London.
The play tells the story of an English
nobieman who. condemned to a living
death by his physicians, plans to take his
own life. He DISCUSSES himself and goes
into secluded corner of Londons slums,
where he may lend it all among people
who will not recognize him In London's s
most squalid section, however. he meets
Glad, a daughter of the tenements, who,
notwithstanding her poverty, refuses to
see anything but the bright side of life.
Under the influence of the girls cour-
ageous and contagious optimism the
would-be suicide regains an interest
in life, with mental and physical
health. The romance of the play
is furnished by Glad's love for young
man who has been brought up thief and
never taught to distinguish between right
and wrong. The wholesome influence of
one sunny-minded girl upon the lives of
many people is one of the charms of the
play.

ABSENCE Of PENALTY
RENDERS LAW FUTILE
No Way to Force District Corpora.
tions to Publish Financial
Statements.

Local business and mercantile cor
porations. other than insurance COM
panfes, which are required by section
617 of the Code OF Laws to publish an
nually in a newspaper within twenty
days from the first of January report
showing the amount of their capital
stock and existing debts, need not fear
prosecution by the District authorities
for failure to observe the statute Ac-
cording to Corporation Counsel Conrad
Syme there Is no law by which the
Commissioners could compel prosecu-
tion to be made. as the statute in aues-
ton, he declares. is more directory
than mandatory, and the question OF
whether or not publication shall be
made is one apparently primarily to oe
determined by the corporations them
selves.
In statement setting forth his in
terpretation of this section OF the cooe,
Mr.. Syme said:
Provision of the Code.
The code provides that all manufac-
turing, mercantile and other business
corporations, except insurance COM
panies, shall annually, within twenty
DAYS from the 1st of January, make a
report which shall be published in
newspaper in the District. which shall
state the amount of capital and the
proportion actually paid, and the
amount of existing debts. and that this
report after being properly verined
shall be filed in the office of the re-
corder of deeds of the District. NO
penalty. however. is provided for
failure to make this report, except that
the law enables any creditor of cor
poration or any other person interested
nptifion
against the corporation to compel such
publication to be made.
las no other penalty is provided, and
there is no other method of compelling
this publication by law, there appears to
be authority other than that indicated
to compel the publication as the provision
stands. 1t is more directory than manda-
tory. and the question as to whether or
not the publication shall be made is one
apparently TO be primarily determined by
the corporation itself. Under the old
law the penalty for failure to make this
publication was that all of the trustees
and severally liable for the debts Of the
company then existing, and for all that
should be contracted before such report
was finally made, thus imposing upon
Them, so far as the debts were con
cerned, all of the liabilities of part
ners. THIS penalty was repealed by the
act of June 80. 1902.
enforcement Not contemplated.
So far as know this matter has not
been taken up by the Commissioners. 1t
has not been referred to me in any way.
There is now no law by which the Com
missioners could compel these publica-
tions to be made. The only method by
which general annual publication of the
capital stock, assets and liabilities of these
corporations could be compelled would
be an act of Congress requiring the pub
lication to be made and providing such
penalty for a failure to do so as would
compel the publication"
