the amateur production may surpass that

Those on the Academy stage List night
wore short dresses In the first act, or to

es below the knees, u mode of costuming
which has been seldom adopted by ama?

some of the best voices In Richmond.. _

well, but played tho Marquis with tine

The best rendered- nmnbor in the entire
opera was that of. the song, "lu-Dream?

sweet, well modulated voice, ? sud was
very graceful In her :bearlng, tippearhig

WARNS GERMANY
IGAINST TRUSTS
Minister of Commerce and Labor
Delivers Speech in Prus?
sian Diet.
(By Aiisoclated Press.)
BERLIN, November 30.?In the Prussian
Diet tho last two days have boen do
voted ito an animated debate on tho bill
appropriating ?17,5<)0,000 to toko over the
shares of the lllbernla Coal Company,
which the Dresden Bunk bought on behalf
of tho Prussian government'. Tho 'bill
passed Its first, reading and was referred
to a committee,
Herr Moell?r, minister of commerce and
Industry, dipped into the? trust question
as it exists In .the, United States, and
warned Germany against copying the
American system. "For nevera! years,"
he said, "wo In Europe wore under tho
spell of thoso powerful American organi?
zations. We believed thie, Americans had
discovered tho philosopher's ?tone. After
time had elapsed and wo observed what
hod becora? of thoso trusts, wo wero In
a position to regard them moro calmly,
We Germans were most- dazed by the
greatness of tho steel trust. Wliat shape
did matters take with that concern? In
order to effect an organization, It was
compelled to resort to crazy overcapitali?
sation."
Minister Moeller, continuing, said tho
iron' works hud 'been capitalized to double,
to three-fold and finally to ten-fold their
actual value, and that tho company Is no
longer master of tho competitive situation
hi its otwii country. JAh manugement of
prices caused now works to ho estab?
lished, which won* bettor equipped than
tho older one*), and produced groator
amount's hy cheaper methods. The steel
trust, ho added, controls ?t pr?sent only
46 lier cent, of tho country's production,
againsit? TO or 80 por cent, at tho ?tart,
"Against sucli eotparimont?," tho min?
