THRILLS AND ROMANCE
"The Cat and the Canary" Was Orig
inally a BurIesque.

The Cat and the Canary" will be
presented at the Majestic theater Fri
day and Saturday. matinee Saturday.
John Willard wrote it to entertain
the public and as it has attracted huge
audiences for over two years now. il is
assured he did just that. The Cat
and the Canary" if the truth be
known, was first written as bur-
lesque on the thrill play. 1T proved
so thrilling in spite of its burlesque
situations. that they were straight
ened out and it was made into three
act play.
Just thrills. and comedy and ro-
mance-that is what is aimed at in
telling the story of "The Cat and the
Canary" and Mr.. Willard does not
wish any one who "seks anything else
to come to see hi play.

CITY LOSES
TAX CASE To
SANTA ROSA
Supreme Court Holds Hos
pital to Be Charitable
Institution.
WAS A TEST CASE
Decision VIII Have Wide
spread Effect on Taxa
ton of Hospitals.

The City of San Antonio cannot
collect taxes from The Santa Rosa
Jnfirmary. This was determined We'd
nesdsy when the Supreme Court held
that the fact that the Santa Rosa
accepts pay patients does not remove
81 from the status Of a charitable in
stitution. This means that the claim
of the city for taxes amounting TO
several hundred dollars cannot be en-
forced.
The decision in the Santa Rosa
case is of statewide importance as
it affects other charitable and frater-
nal institutions. Had the claim OF
the city been upheld it would have
meant that the city's Golfers each
year would have been swelled by the
collection of taxes from hospitals and
fraternal institutions which have
heretofore claimed exemption on the
ground that they were operated Dor
charitable purposes.
Trial Court Il Sustained.
Suit was instituted against 3he
Santa Rosa for the collection Of
these taxes during the Black admin
iStration. Judge Robert W. B. Ter
rell in the trial court held that it was
a charitable institution and thus was
exempt. Appeal was taken to the
Fourth Court Of Civil Appeals where
the trial courts decision was reversed.
Appeal was then taken TO the su-
preme court with the result thar the
appellate court was reversed and the
decision of the trial court upheld.

The Supreme Court refused a man

sought 10 compel Judge Robert W. B.
Terrell 10 recognize him as prosecutor
in the excess fee suit against Tom
Newton, county attorney. Judge Ter
rel had already entered an order so
recognizing McAskill and the Supreme
court held that there was no necessity
for issuing the mandamus.

BETTER ENFORCEMENT.

There will be immedis,.s and violent protest
against transferring the prohibition enforcement de-
partment from the Treasury department to the De-
rartment of Justice. The transfer has been recon-
mended by the conference of senior circuit judges,
Chief Justice Taft presiding. The reasons advanced
by the judges will be the foundation of the protests
The reasons given in part as follows:
"All the appropra tions for such enforcement
should be expended under the direction of the attor
ney general In that the attempted proseeu
ton of trivial. futile and unimportant which
crowd the doclets through the ll.advsed zeal
and practical ignorance of prohibition agents
be avoided and only those taken up and
pressed which will really deter the principal offend
and in the preparation of which district
torneys will have personal responsibility
The adoption of this recommendation would
separate a small army of enforcement officers from
the payroll. 1t would, however put the enforcement
department in control of who know something
of law, thereby protecting the general public from
the activities of certain class of officers who
imagine that enforcement simply means pryng into
everybodys business 1t would also center attention
upon the of supply instead of letting the big
go while the little offenders being hailed

of large proportion of the citizenship. The judges
have requested Attorney General Stone to incor-

processes of the law will endorse the recommenda-
tion.
