TO HAVE THEATER
In EACH OF TWINS
Shubert- Belasco Interests Have
Definitely Arranged for New
Houses Here.

Charles Bradford, representing the
Shubert-Belasco combine of independent
theatrical managers who are opposed to
the trust, is In the city, perfecting ar
rangements toward the immediate cree
ton Of the Shubert theater in St. Paul
and, later on, the Belasco theater in
Minneapolis. ..
The Shubert theater in St. Paul will
be begun at once, as the independents
have no place to play their attractions
there, but in Minneapolis, where the
Auditorium is most adequate, the Be-
lasco theater will not be started until
next March, when the st. Paul play
housewil be completed. -.-s.~ :.
Mr.. Bradford and the Independents
Chicago attorney, Mr.. Lathrop, were
seen at the West hotel today, and they
spoke freely of the general local plans
of the men they represent, but no
amount Of persuasion would induce
either Of them to divulge the imme-
date location Of either playhouse. It
is known, however, that Mozart hall, st
Paul has been sold to the Shubert In.
terests.

Mr.. Bradford, solely for the purpose
Of performing one single little duty,
and that detail having been attended

sons were financially interested in the
new enterprise. -. MAX

HERRICK BY $4,000
Republicans Claim Ohio, but Democrats
Say They'll Win.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. Gone of the
hottest campaigns in the history of Ohio
has closed in haze of uncertainty as
to the outcome. The chairmen of the
two parties gave out estimates based
on poll of the state which are so far
apart as to add to the uncertainty
rather than to indicate a possible mid
die ground.
For the republicans, Senator Dick
said that his poll most conservatively
made, indicated that Governor Herrick
would be reelected by not less than
$4,000 plurality, while Chairman Gar
Der of the democratic committee an
nounced that an extremely conserva-
tive summing up of his poll Of the state
showed a certainty Of John M. Pat.
tlson s election by $4,000 plurality.
. This state Of uncertainty has char.
acterized the entire campaign, not
withstandihg the positive way in which
the campaigners have discussed politi
cal bossism, saloon regulation, insur.
ance legislation and railroad rates.
Governor Herrick' s reelection has
been opposed by the Antisaloon league
because it is alleged he had used the
veto power to force changes in the
Brannock law, providing local option
for residence districts. Also it has
been opposed by the democrats on gen
eral principles, but with the addition

friendship for George B. Cox, the re

NEW WAR MENACE
IN. BALKAN SNARI
But This Clash Of Peoples Will
Be Thru Busy Marts -
Of Trade. ~.

Washington, Nov. 6.-AT open breach
between Greece and Rumania will, &C.
cording to private information received
in this city, soon make the dangerous
situation in the Balkans still more
complicated. During the beginning OF
the last month Greece recalled its di-
plomatic representative from Bucharest
and Rumania was therefore forced to
withdraw her minister fronl.Athens.
The immediate cause for the breach
was the fact that the sultan recognized
the independence Of the Koetso-Wal-
lachs, a people living near the Greek
border in Macedonia, who number per-
haps 100000. They belong to the Ru-
manian race, but were claimed by the
Greeks to be under the command of
the Greek patriarch in Constantinople.
Accordingly bands were formed on the
Greek frontier and expeditions sent
among the Koetso-Wallachs to force
the latter to acknowledge themselves to
be Greeks and to register that way dur.
ing the census then being taken in the
interfereEand. the Koetso- WalIaehs were
forced TO ask for the help Of Rumania
That country, desiring to be represented
in any future partition Of Macedonia
gave its help, and its intervention led
to the present situation. ; r..
AS it is not possible for the two coun
tries to attack each other either or
land or on sea, the only damage they
can inf1ict on each other it Is stated
would be thru an economic war IL
which, according to statistics, Rumanis
! would have the advantage: -.
From 1901 to 1904, the Greeks ex
ported $3.50, 900 francs worth of good.

more than, !, 100000 francs. 1t is als(
pointed out that Of the S,057 ships whicl
visited Roumanian ports during 1908
1887 were Greek. There exists be
tween Rumania and Greece a CONNER
cial treaty effective until July, 1906.
