DlSTILLERS COMBINE,
Sixty-SeVen Kentucky Whisky Firms
Enter Into an Agreement.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The largest COM
bination of whisky and distilling interests
yet attempted has been concluded in this
city under the title of the Kentucky Distill-
ers and Warehouse Company. Sixty-seven
firms making Kentucky whiskys have en-
tered into the agreement. The new COM
pany will be capitalized for So, co., 600. In
corporation papers will shortly be filed in

mental in bringing about the combination
were George r. Sheldon, of the Manhattan
Trust Company, and S. NJ. Rice, president
OF the American Spirits Manufacturing
Company. Levi Mayer of Chicago has
acted as counsel in the drawing up of all
papers He becomes general counsel of the
new company. The board of directors will
probably be determined upon tomorrow. 1t
can be stated that S. M. Rice will hold some
executive position. The combination is said
to be somewhat in the nature Of a sequel to
the recent absorption of the American Spir-
its Manufacturing Company by the Stand
ard Distilling and Distributing Company. OF
the $32,O00OU0 capital stock, $12OO0,O00 Will
be cumulative Z per cent. preferred and
10000 common. A cash working capital
OF $l,5C0,000 is assured. Disullery properties
having more than 40 per cent. of the total
capacity for the production of the standard
brands of the State of Kentucky will be ac-
CURED. The. companies already in the new
agreement have more than one million bar
rels of whisky in bonded warehouses. The
new company is expected to produce l5,OOO,OOO
gallons of whisky annually al an average
net profit of $l500,000 The total net revenue
the new company is placed at 81, 3lO, 600
The production of whisky will be concen-
trated in the best plants. None of those
mentioned as interested in the formation of
this combination, nor Mr.. Mayer, their
counsel. had anything to say when ques-
toned to-day regarding the new company.

ATLANTIC LINER ASHORE.
Steamer RhynIand Stranded on Cotton
Patch ShOaI.

PHILADELPHIA Feb. 1.-The trans
atlantic liner Rhynland, Captain Hannah,
from Liverpool, for this port went ashore
on Cotton Patch shoal, about four miles
north of Fenwick's island live-saving sta
ton, during last nights storm. AT a late
hour tonight she was still stranded, but
lay in an easy position, and it was hoped
to get her off with the next high tide. The
tug North America went to her assistance
this morning and succeeded in moving her q
short distance. Later in the day the tug
went to Delaware breakwater and brought
back the lighter LOttie. Part of the
steamers cargo will be taken off, and when
this has been done there is little doubt she
will be safely fioated. The Rhynand's pro-
peller is broken and it is thought her rud-
der has been carried away. There are
forty-two passengers and a crew of seventy
nine men on board and all are well.
FenWicks island light is about twenty
five miles below the breakwater, which
would indicate that the Rhynland was a
few miles out Of her course when she
grounded This is easily accounted for by
dense snoWstorm was prevailing and the
island light could not be seen. The fact
that a big steamer was ashore on the shoal
became known about midnight when a pa
trolman of the life-saving station saw her
light. He gave the alarm, and the station
crew went to her assistance. 1t was found.
however, that the steamer was in no dan
ger. Her identity was not known until this
morning, when the tug North America went
to her.

Ish's tonight as Stuart Robson's leading
woman in THE Meddler" 1t has not been
so many years since the beautiful California
girl, Lille Arlington, attracted attention by
taking to the stage. Her stage name of
Marie Burroughs was a good mouthful of
syllables to attract attention, and her quick
rise TO the position of leading woman
brought her before the public as one of
the coming American actresses. She was
with Palmers old Madison-square Company
for time, and when +. S. Willard came to
America she was further advertised by be-
ing given the first place in his support. Col

because of her beauty. her art and her great
taste in dress, the actress combining every
thing TO make her popular favorite. From
leading woman she became a star, with her
own company, appearing in Pineros THE

The first great failure of playwright
Charles Hoyt's career came in Washington
this week, where lis new play, "A Dog in
the Manager" was produced Monday night
at the Lafayette-sQuare Theater In this
city the playwright has many personal
friends who will read this news with more
sorrow than they care to express Many of
Hoyt's close friends are said to have pre-
dicted that "A Dog in the Manager would
be fasco. The fact that this astute and
brilliant playmaker went to the expense of
costly production for something which he
himself should have been able to see would
not pan out can be explained only by the
fact that Others about him were not honest
IN giving the play their approval, and led
him to believe ii contained elements of
success. Some criticisms first
performance say that "A Dog in the
Manager" if written by an amateur. would
never have been accepted by any manager.
1t is understood that the play will be with
drawn at the close of this week. The only
other failure HOyt has ever written was "A
Runaway COLT which he constructed hur-
riedly for Captain Anson's starring career.
1t now comes out that "A Dog in the
Manager was also written in hurried man
ner and al a time when he was under
great nervous strain following the death of
his wife and baby. Those who know Mr..
HOyt intimately say he should not have at
tempted TO write play at this time while
he is under the constant care of a physician.

ELWOOD, Ind, Feb. Another advance
of % cents box has been made in the
price of tin plate. The officers of the Amer
lean Tin-plate Company sent out notices
yesterday to all their mills announcing that
hereafter the price will be 1926 a box of
one hundred pounds. This advance, like the
one announced Jan. 5, is caused by an adj
vance in the price of steel and pig iron. 1t
little more than covers the rise in those raw
materials. Since last July there has been
an advance from $3.50 box, the price be-
ing 1915 when the American Company was
organized. There was little more than Is
cents box profit in the manufacture of tin
plate at the last price named, but it is es-
timated by people in the trade that there
is now a profit of a trihe more than 40
cents. That amount on 100000 boxes, which
the company will turn out this year, will
enable it to pay its preference dividend
