Special to The News : Last Tuesday evening the people of this city had the opportunity of attending "Tho Little Tycoon , " an American-Japanese comic opera in two acts. Every seat in the Audito rium was taken at an early hour , and those coming in late had the privilege of standing. Mis Lena Roam of Osceola , la. , had the leading role of The Little Tycoon. From the time of her flrst appearance until the final curtain Miss Ream held sway over her audience. Her beauti ful soprano voice rose above the full chorus In obligate , while her lighter passages wore most satisfying. Also iior ability as an actress showed that she was especially lit for comic opera. Miss Ream was ably supported by a ast of local talent , as follows : Ar thur Miller as tho-Great Tycoon ; Har old Fletcher as Gull-Gull , Interpreter to the Great Tycoon ; Miss Jennie Hall as Miss Hurricane , chaperon for the tourist maidens ; Mrs. Charles Molick as Dolly Dimples ; Irwin Harris as eneral Knickerbocker ; Fred Sellery is Lord Dolphin , and Howard Steven son as Teddy. A chorus of twenty-five voices sup ported the principiils. Their costumes n the choruses as tourist maidens , Japanese maidens , hobgoblins , brig ands and college tourists were espe clally fine. The manner in which they sang the choruses from memory showed evidence of hard work in re hearsals. The opera was staged by Mrs. Os car Thompson of Detroit , Mich. Wayne Normal Notes.

Mr. Taft Has Decided on His Message Recommendations. Washington , Nov. 27. Yesterday's conference at the white house sufllcot to fix the president's policy In regari to the amendments to the interstate commerce law. As a result of the conference ferenco the president will make the following recommendations on the sub jcct In his coming message : "Tho creation of a separate inter state commerce court , ono Judge o which shall have the power to stay the proceedings of the Interstate commerce merco commission sixty days. There after no Injunction shall bo allowed against the order of the commission unless granted by the whole court o five members right of appeal from this court to bo direct to the United States supreme court. "To give the interstate commerce commission the Initiative power to bring complaints against unjust class ! Icatlon of merchandise for transpor-1 atlon , | "To/give the commission power to Ix rates after a complaint Is lodged , J mil power to readjust classifications vlien rates are determined to be un- list. "To give the rommlsslon the power o suspend , modify or annul any chang es In rates or regulations which tin- > ese niidtio burdens on shippers ; to ompel connecting carriers to unite n forming a through route and to ( Ix ho rate and apportion It among car- lors ; to prescribe rules and rogula- Ions under which shippers hall have he privilege to designate the route > ver which their shipments shall bo carried to the destination beyond that of the first carrier. 'To prohibit any Interstate railroad company acquiring stock In any com- lotlng railroad ; to prohibit any rali- road engaged In Interstate commerce , iftor a certain date , holding stock In any competing railroad ; to prohibit any railroad company engaged In In- orstato commerce from Issuing any additional stocks or bonds or other obligations except with the approval of the commission , based upon n limi ng by the commission that the same are Issued , first , for the purposes au- .horized by law , and , second , for a irico not less than par for slock and lot less than the reasonable market value for bonds , such price bolng paid Ithor In cash , property or services , and if property or services , then at the 'air value thereof as determined by ho commission. "To permit railroads to agree upon .raffle rates and make contracts with espect to rates that shall not bo pool- ng contracts , but shall constitute agreements as to rates , provided al ways , that such agreements shall re- olvo the approval of the Interstate commerce commission. "To regulate the railroad and com mercial and telephone lines among , ho same lines as prescribed for the railroads. " There has developed an opposition among the members of the Interstate commerce commission and certain members of the committee on inter state and foreign commerce against the creation of a separate interstate commerce court of five members. President Taft throughout the confer ence contended that It was the only method by which cases appealed from : he Interstate commerce commission could bo expedited. Attorney General Wickersham was of the same opinion. Representative Mann , Judge Knapp and Mr. Lane contended that It would not hurry matters. President Taft and Attorney Gener al Wickersham went deeply into the matter of giving the commission the [ > ewer to Judge whether stocks and jonds Issued by the railroads arc in consonance with the value of the road and , also of changing the law so that ono railroad company cannot hold stocks or bonds In a competing rail road , and that the railroads shall not Issue additional stocks or bonds other than at par value and a reasonable market value , respectively. "MARRIAGE IS TOO NARROW. " The Milliner to the " 400" Leaves His Elderly Bride. New York. Nov. 27. Mrs. Ada Jaf- frey McVicker Tappo , snowy haired and 55 years old has separated from iier hansome young husband , Hermann Patrick Tappe , 30 years old , the milli ner to the " 400. " Two years ago this matron , who had entree Into the most exclusive circles , renounced her relig ion and espoused the Catholic faith to marry a buyer for a millinery bouse. "Yes , we are going to bo separated , " Tappe said. "In fact , we've been separated arated for three or four weeks. The papers are not filed yet , though. But I'm going to give my wife $12,000 a year and the house up at 53 East Thirteenth street. She's happy ; I'm happy , that's all. " "I don't believe In marriage. I should never have married. I was too young , and she was too old. I couldn't live with her any longor. I wasn't happy. Now , I can love all women , French women , all women. When you cannot love you cannot bo happy. " SCIENCE TROUBLES NOT ENDED First Church Trustees Adopt a Reso lution Indorsing Mrs. Stetson. New York , Nov. 27. The Christian Science dispute at the First church is likely to be reopened through a re solution , adopted by the board of trus tees , indorsing Mrs. Stetson. The trus tees declare that she always has been and Is now absolutely loyal to the teachings of Mrs. Eddy. Although they reluctantly accept her resignation both as n trustee of the church which she built up and as a member of the congregation , they apparently regard her as a martyr. "Tho Indorsement Is so flagrantly against the wishes of Mrs. Eddy and the Mother church that I am sure the Boston board of directors will take some action regarding the local trus tees , " indignantly explained ono of the officials of the church after the meet- Ing. "They bbvlously wore insincere when they indorsed Mrs. Eddy's letter - ter desiring a united church. This action is like throwing n glove in the face of the Boston board of directors. " No action was taken regarding the disposition of the * $100,000 residence of Mrs. Stetson , which adjoins the church. Dr. John Franklin Crowell , a trustee , said after the meeting : "She owns the house and may do with it as she pleases. " Mrs. Stetson's salary of $5,000 a year as rector emeritus has been dis continued.
