Timet, of Feb. 27, printed a front page story and cut of Minnie Burke tripping gayly down tfao Capi- tol stops on her toes. Miss Burke won a bet by doing the Btunt, which attracted cou- aldorable attention among tho senators. We quote The Timet: "She performed la the historic spot where presidents hnTo taken the oath of office since tho Capitol was erected. iBut she made a new bit of Jlstory for tho spot.

An •unprecedented Injunction has been granted to Aaron Hoffman, dramatic writer, y Judge Ba/. in tho V. 8. District Court lor the Northern District of Now York, on Feb. 13, 1014, in an Injunction brought by Hoffman against Bam Lo Traunlck, a Ger- man comedian, using tho stage name "Sena- tor Murphy," and against Jean Bedtnl, a theatrical manager. Bedlnl has boon pro- ducing a play entitled 'vTho Mlsohlof Mak- ers," nnd a feature of tho performances was a topical monologuo recited by "Senator Murphy" (i-o Traunlk). It was shown In the anion that the Murphy monologue con- sisted of a, collection of gags culled from thirteen copyrighted monologues, written hy Aaron Hoffman, undor the title "Tho Ger- man Senator" and "Tho German Politician." Hoffman's monologues wcro used by tho Into Cliff Gordon, 'Who, nt tho tlmo <if his sudden death In 1IH.1. 'ia<l become ono of tho most successful comcdlilrm on tlm Ameri- can stage, and was receiving $500 a week for reciting tbo clever, funny nnd Intightor arona- lngs sarcasms, roalaprops and witticism)) written for hlin by Hoffman. Trrrbtigli Cliff Gordon, "Senator Murphy" (In Trounik) became acquainted wlni <Hoffinan'B mono- logues. He attended repeated recitals given by Gordon, and from memory ho took down tho best passages, from which ho mndo up a composlto reproduction of Hoffninn's -ma- terial, This composite result wait resetted by him Id Iledlnl'H show. In oho final decree, which has lust been rendered by Judge Hay, It Is •adjmigcii that tbeso monologues are tho original crcntlons of Aaron Hoffman, and that Hoffman Iras valid copyright in them. The composlto anonologuo onado up by Lo Traunlk Is declared to do an unlancful repro- duction, and ho and Hedlnl nro adjudged guilty of Infringement of Hoffman's copy- rights. An injunction Is granted porpetually ro- etralnlng the reproduction, recltnl or use of Hoffman's monologues, or of any part there- of, or of any abridgement, compilation, or- ruDgement, Imitation or version of said monologues, -Hoffman is awarded $1,000 damages nnd $005.78 coals. This Is the first known enso whore a comic monologue has been protected by tlm courts, and wbeie both tho actor and manager of the attraction bavo been mulcted In dimingea.
