Moon Captured by Earth Proved by Astronomer Lee
Prof T J J Lee of the Naval Observatory at Mare Island announced a mathematical proof that the moon is a planet captured by the earth from space, countering Laplace and Darwin theories. He linked the moon’s origin to a bottle neck like neck of space in the sun’s sphere of influence and described the gradual circularization of its orbit under nebular resistance.

Court Affirms Injunction Over Grand Street Theatre
Supreme Court Justice Gildersleeve ordered Ja cob P. Adler restrained from interfering with A. H. Woods's possession of the Grand Street Theatre. The Appellate Division upheld the injunction to remain in force while disputes between Adler and Woods continue since Adler recovered the theatre in June 1908 for two years at 25000 per year. Woods reportedly paid one year's rent in advance and deposited 10000 to insure the second year's rental as Adler and his staff moved in last April. Adler contends Woods breached terms of the case.
