BBIDGrisSr AGAIN COrilT ASKED TO STOP BROAD WAY BOXD SALE. Attorney Duniway Asks Restraining Order, Saying Advertlsment Is Illegal. Ralph R. Dunlway and Frank Kier. ran. with their supporters, have not yet given up their fight to stay all prog ress of the Broadway bridge. Attorney Duntway filed If the Circuit Court yes terday a supplemental complaint. In which he asks that the city. Mayor Simon and City Auditor Barbur be re strained from selling 1500.000 worth of bonds today. Dunlway says the bridge case Is a suit In equltv and that the court should take cognisance of it. He contends that the advertisement In the city offi cial paper that the Broadway bridge bonds are for sale, that bids may be submitted and that they will be opened January 14. ls Illegal. He complains further that the City Council passed, on December 14 last, the ordinance which authorizes the sale of the bonds, but that the clty'a advertisement sets forth that the bonds are to be sold by virtue of an ordinance passed last June. The Ladd & Tllton Bank la made a party to the suit. Mr. Dunlway said last night that he had not made formal application to the 1 1 A a rn.t r.

New Bills Open at the Vaudeville Houses Orpbeuin. PUNKT FRANK TIXNBT, blackface monologlst, ls back at the Orpheum this week, and if audiences are any Judge his Is the head-line act. His appearance here last season made his name and memory synonymous with royal entertainment, and he's Just as good this year. He holds his side-splitting "rehearsal" with the orchestra di rector, plays the same chunes at the piano, dancing and chatting fresh stuff glibly the while, finishing by murder ing "II Trovatore" on a wailing, shriek ing" blg-plpe. An act that pleases ls little Amy But ler, about as big as a full-grown pea nut, who sparkles and wiggles and laughs along like Tennyson's brook let. Miss Amy who gets over some new songs and some old ones also, is bounded on the East by a nice lad with a very high tenor voice, on the West by a tall youth with a richly deep bass voice of unusual beauty, on the North by a baritone and the South by another tenor. Amy's voice Is of the in-growing sort, but she's a mighty attractive, if small chunk of magnetism without any spine and no stays In her corsets. Charles E. Evans, of "Parlor Match" celebrity, makes his return to the foot lights in a farce-comedy called "It's Up to Tou, William." The members of Mr. Evans' support ing company give excellent accounts of themselves, and Mr. Evans is himself reminiscent in a long, lanky way of that dea nof vaudeville humor, Cressy. An act that combines educational value and real beauty is presented by "Maxim's Models," a bevy of men and women who pose In faithful reproduc tions of famous paintings. The Reed Brothers, a couple of ani mated bunches of strength offer feats of skill in gymnastics and general ac robatics that are genuinely good. They manage to stuff a lot of comedy In between lines, and on the whole make good. Swain's Cockatoos, a remarkable col lection of educated birds, are seen In an highly unique act. One feathered wizard counts, tells the time, and all but talks In, to say the least, an un canny way. And Dorothy Kenton, a banjolst, comes out in an aborted color scheme that would make the rainbow and Mel ville Ellis turn all colors with envy. Aided and abetted, by the orchestra, Dorothy hands out the usual things In banjolng which women do. The Grand. POR good, hard work and skilful cycle riding the three Roehrs are to be congratulated. Their act leada the Sullivan & Considlne bill at the Grand this week. Against all seeming laws of gravity they whirl about the sides of a revolving globe. Featuring their act is the remarkable loop-the-loop "which they essay at great hazard. w Just preceding the Roehrs Is Mabel McKlnley, niece of the martyred Presi dent. She makes a hit with the audi ence In offering it the chance to take part In the programme by Joining In the chorus of the catchy song, "Yum-Yum Tree." To anyone . who sings the chorus alone, she presents an autographed copy of the air. Of Interest, too. this week are Ham mond and Forrester, who give rapid fire foolish chatter and song which entitles them to the right to call them selves "Laughsmlths." Pathetic to an extreme ls the drama surrounding an erring mother as pre sented by the emotional artist, Emily Dodd and her company. Instrumental music, both classic and popular, forms the act of Fred and- Elsa Pendleton. They win great applause. The remaining feature is a tight rope act by the Roslares, man and woman. They open their act with an artistic arrangement of the stage, rep resenting a garden. Then hammocks and vine-covered walls are pulled away and on the bare ropes, which re main, the pair execute several feats, including a Dutch dance In costume. YEAR'S SEARCH ENDS HERE Charleston, W. Va., Youth Accused of $1600 Bank Theft, Is Caught. ' Nearly a year after his alleged flight from Charleston, W. V., with 1660 be longing to a bank, L. I. Melton, 21 years old. was arrested by Detectives Hellyer and Maloney yesterday morning at Sixth and Burnslde streets.

SASDSTOXB QCABRY AT TENIXO. Fully Equipped for Operation. For Sals at a Barsaln. . A, McMullen, Singer Bldg.. N. I. BULLETIN NO 22 Competition By Charles V. Weston, President, ' : South Side Elevated Railroad Company, Chicago, HI. 7 Most of us are convinced that the public utility business is a natural monopoly. The majority of latter day economists admit this to be the case. Public service utilities, requiring special and permanent fixtures in streets and other public places, cannot be operated with high degree of success from the standpoint of either the managers or the public, except as non-competitive concerns. Therefore, it may safely be ad vanced that public utilities, whether in public or private hands, can best be conducted under a system of legalized and regu lated monopoly. . In the rendering of public service, competition means a duplication of investment; it means a duplication of service and of expenses, all of which spell ruin to the enterprises involved. The pressure of competition leads owners of the competing utilities to combine in order to escape insolvency. With com petition there always is the frantic effort to pay interest on wasteful investment ; service is skimped, to the disadvanage of the public. Whereas, if only one system had originally been given monopolistic privileges under proper public control, both the company and the public would have been the gainer. Study of the history of competition in public service under takings leads to the conclusion that no matter what provision a franchise majr contain against consolidation, it is only a ques tion of time when every franchise holder seeks the safe haven of monopoly and that, from the standpoint of the people and from the standpoint of the business itself, monopoly franchises, under proper public control, are the best. v rortiana Kaiiwav, Light & Power Co.
