Almost 100000 francs had been re-
allied at the end OF the second days

famous stamp collection of FerraH de
la Renotiere. the money realized will
be used by the French Government for

bequeathed by Ferrari.
A cent Hawaiian stamp OF the first
issue brought the top figure of the day,

Mr. Hampden is arranging for his

PLAY PRODUCERS TO
HAVE SUPREME HEAD
But Leader Must BE From
Within the Theatrical
Business.
VOTES FOR T.
Only Seven More Yeas Needed
to Call Biggest Mind to
Rule Business.

The Theatrical Producing Managers
Association Is to have a supreme head
like VIII Hays is to the producers and
exhibitors Of motion pictures. and Judge
Kenesaw M. Lands is for organized
baseball.
This was decided to be a practical car
tainty when meeting was held yester-
day at the offices OF the association ard
twenty-eight managers voted unant
mously for the innovation. Twenty-Five
managers were present and every one
voted to call to their aid one great mind
whose word weuld be the law and the
whole Of it in the matter of the conduct
of the producing end OF the great busi-
ness of presenting plays on the stage.
Three others voted aye by mail. There
were no dissenting voices heard.
This leaves the association only seven
votes short Of the necessary thirty-five.
or two-thirds of the membership of the
body, whose consent is necessary to
amend the bylaws. to permit the cleo
ton of a single head Of this artistic In
dustry.
The revolutionary proposal was made
several weeks ago that the bylaws be
changed. AS originally presented the
resolution read that the great mind
might come either from inside or outside
the play producing business. There was
feeling among some OF the managers
opposed to the idea Of bringing an out
slider knowing nothing Of the mighty
technical business to rule over the des-
TIMES of the managers.
IT..
cided to amend the resolution to the
full knowledge of the play producing
business. He must be a man expert
enced in all lines of the enterprise. 1t
is Said that Abraham 1. Erlangcr and
associates stood firmly against calling
to be leader one VINO was not versed
In all the intricacies OF the game, great
as he might be in other lines of en-
deavor.
But when the resolution as offered
was amended to read that an expert
enced man be called to lead them Mr..
Erlanger and his allied managers were
unanimously for the proposition. This
does not mean that the supreme head
of the managers must be from their
own ranks. He may be outside their
fold. But 1t Is likely that when the
man is picked. II he is rot in the Pro-
ducing Managers Association he will
quickly be elected to that organization.
No names were mentioned yesterday
as the future theatrical Lands. Before
the amendment to the resolution was
made Bernard NJ. Baruch was discussed
as possible head OF the business. But
he took himself out of the limelight inn
mediately by saying he could not accept
the place II offered TO him. The name of
James ]. Davis. Commissioner of Labor
in President Harding's Cabinet. also was
mentioneds at that time. Suclf men as
these, leaders though they be, would
automatically be barred as having no
experience In the business.

For the rest, the entertainment was
as bizarre bird OF passage as ever
came to roost on Broadway. This be-
ing the season of things that are diff
ferent. of ''Chauve Souris' and trans

been decided by Mr.. Hitchcock to pre-
sent one of those different things. but

result may be conceived as a cross be-
tween a Neighborhood Playhouse bit of
aestheticism and 1.-The Perfect Fool"

The patrons were treated to an act
of the sheerly interpretative type. such
as the "Faun and Nymph" dance by
Felicia Sorel and Senia Gluck, and then

Gus mixture can be best conceived from
the fact that Miss Rosalind Fuller had
the assistance of a Japanese tenor, Yuji
Jtow. in singing Scotch ballad.
And over all art was rampant. When
ever Hitchcock couldn't think of any
thing else he would bring on a pretty
young woman and have her kiss him.
Miss Eva Clarks tones do not seem
quite so smoothly sonorous as when she
first appeared here In "Sunkist." but
when it somes to kissing she is in splen-
did voice.
Hitchcock's own voice, which used to
be an asset because 1t was as bad as a
liability, is more of an asset than ever
But he has reached the stage where he
seems to believe that anything he does
is funny. AS matter Of fact, when

in the audience.

Against Keiths
Tells of Alleged Contract for
Half Profits OF Syracuse
Playhouse.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw YoaK HRslLD.
SYRACUSE. N. ". June l5.-Testimony
Of LAWYERS about preliminary arrange
ments for the erection of the million
dollar Keith building here featured the
opening OF the trial of the Shubert in
terests against e, A. Albee. head of the
Keith enterprises. to recover approxi.
mately $1.000.o00 as half Of the profits
of the local playhouse since 1t was
built.
The Keith interests lost the first
legal battle when Justice Jerome Cheney
ruled that the Shubert attorneys could
testify Their evidence was taken over
the objection of Keith counsel on the
claim that 1t was confidential.
Attended by an assistant and ste
nographer and with a crew Of messenger
boys flowing In and out OF the court
room during the afternoon after his ses-
sion on the stand Lee Sbubert ran his
business In New York from the court
room during the entire day. After his
session on the stand he turned the jury
box into an office and divided his att
tention between the testimony OF other
witnesses and telephone calls and tele-
grams.
Mr.. Shubert was the first witness
called to tell Of the alleged verbal agree
ment between himself and the late A..
Paul Keith. He related how his COM
pany controlled the Grand Opera House
here and booked Keith vaudeville, split
ting the profits and losses In consid-
GRAFTON of canceling the Keith lease Of
the Grand. he maintained his interests
were the share equally In the profits
from the new theater.
Joseph l.. Rhinock. treasurer of the
Shubert organization. was sworn to
identify a mass of documentary evidence
including letters, leases, contracts, &C.,
which showed the close association of the
two companies here.
William Rubin, local counsel for the
Shuberts, admitted that during the time
of the cooperative arrangement at the
Grand he was on the payrolls of both
companies. AS a result the defense OBJ
jected to every question put to him. He
finally was able to state that he had a
conversation with Il. Il. Albee in August,
1910, when he was shown the plans of
the new theater. He declared he told
Mr.. Albee at that time that the Shuberts
claimed a one-half interest and swofe
Albee replied that their share would
have to be reduced to rs per cent.
The trial will be continued tomorrow.

1T is impossible to look on people
now as We did twenty years ago. We
are new beings. We have proved be-

fore the war we bowed our heads when
accused Of being materialistic people
mot people OF ideals"
Fother Martin declared that the war
had finally erased any doubt that the
world may have had of Americas IDEAL
ism. To the graduates directly he said:
You mast realize with humility that
you merely have the tools which your
distinguished professors have given
yod. You are just beginning. But It
is up to you to think and act for your
self-the result and end of all educa-
tion-and it will be up to you humbly
to lead the way for the great minority.
Despise not the opinions of others. but
rather judge them and test all theories

the delight of all the boys. Binko's proper
name was Frank MacDonough and he was an
officer of the law. Blinko was as slow as an
Erie Canal nag and the boys were not long
in ascertaining this fact. One night slender
and agile young fellow was vending his way
homeward when he happened to run into
Blnko.
"And what have ye in that there waist of
yours, young MANI Blinko asked
"Nothing," the youth replied. Just then his
blouse moved
so, it's pigeons yer have Come right
along with me-"
But" the youth pleaded won't you let
me 20 home to get my coat?'
Blinko consented. In the mean time the
maid in the youths home engaged Blinko in
conversation, while young William slipped out
the back way, went around the block and was
waiting for Blnko at the corner. Finally
Bllnko thought it was time that the youngster
had got his coat, but upon looking down the
street he saw his little prisoner standing on
the corner. Nevertheless Binko has the
honor Of being one of the first uniformed no.
lcemen TO patrol the Bronx. Shortly after
MorrlSanla was annexed to New York CITY
the Chief of Police sent a number of his
veteran patromen up to the Bronx These
patrolmen were the first policemen to guard
the property and to protect the lives of the
residents of Morrisana West Farms and
Westchester.

A{os, for the Lads Who
Could Not "Feather''

Some time ago a study of the market prob
lem in New York City was made, and one of
the conclusions arrived at was that the aver
age housewife Of to-day despises the idea Of
travelling any distance to do the ordinary mar
kcting. But, then, our mothers didn't think
anything Of rising at in the morning, of
taking q good-szcd market basket with them,
of riding in a rickety bob tailed horsecar and
of sailing down the Harlem to Peck's Slip, the
distance totalng with the return trip around
thirty-fve miles.
The "Huckleberry Road continued oper-
ating until 1892, when the Union Railroad
Company took over its franchise and property.
About 1885 General Piercy, one of the candi-
dates for Mayor, made the extension Of the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad Companv's lines
north Of the Harlem River campaign issue
BY 1887 the suburban branch was running.
and, according to the statistics for the fiscal
year of 1890, the road carried 4,141,219 pas
sengers. Thus the Bronx was linked with
Manhattan, while the scent fare also paid
operating charges, leaving, it is said, large
surplus to be distributed among stockholders
