MERGER OF VAUDEVILLE INTERESTS.
Klaw & Erlanger in Big Deal with B. F.
Keith and Others.

Recent rumors from Chicago of conference be-
tween KIaw & Erlanger. B. T. Keith and other big
vaudeville men was confirmed in this city yester-
day. and it became known that Klaw & Erianger'
the executive firm Of the present Theatrical Syn
dictate" have Joined with certain vaudeville
managers 70 form second vaudeville syndicate.
A. L. Erlanger will, II IS said. be at the head of
the new merger which represents capitalization
Of S4OOOOooO on corporation basis. Others In the
combination are B. F. Keith. Meyerfeld & Buck
the managers OF the Orpheum chain OF vaudeville
houses, and Kohl s. Castle. Of Chicago
The Ostensible object Of the new syndicate is 20
check the increase of new theatres all over the
country that threatens TO make vaudeville so COM
mon as to endanger profits 20 some managers and
in general 70 control the vaudeville field 1t Will
be noticed that Percy Williams, Mr.. Proctor. Mr..
Hammerstein and William Morris, the vaudeville
booking agent, are not in the combination: They
have not, they say, been asked 70 join tWhether
Il means war on them not they do not state
but the general sentiment seems 10 DC thaC II
does.
Another feature OF the combination. the presence
of Klaw & Erlanger, hitherto in no way connected
with vaudeville, caused much comment IL was
said that Mr.. Keith induced them to Join with him
by representing 20 them how such combination
could check the acquisition of new independent
theatres which are often gained by converting
second class or vaudeville houses. The Schuberts
regard this as the case. though they declare the
combination can do them no harm whatever.
Mr.. Keith's manager Mr.. Albee, said the merger
was solely for mutual protection. and in no wise
was 20 ware war any managers, or groups or
managers. But more interesting developments are
looked for nevertheless.

"THE DISTRICT LEADER. :"
Wallaok's Theatre.

Something describing itself on the programme as
q musical comedy drama" and called The District
Leader" was produced at Wallaoks Theatre last
night, with the proud author, composer ana stage
manager, Joseph E. Howard. In one OF the minor
parts Mr. Howard is a noted composer he Is
known as far north as 18th street. and as FAR west
as Chicago He has not composed any symphonies
as vet, nor any grand operas but popular sohss'
Oh myI II is made known that he does not per
form upon the plano other musical instruments
himself nor does he dash down inspired meiooies
upon menu cards. as Schubert Is said TO nave
written 'FIark Hark the Lark. His method OF
cornpositon is more modern; it consists OK dtcta-
tion He whistles his tunes 70 a musical stenog-
rnpher who sets them forth IN musical notation for
a listening world TO hear. There were moments
last night when even this method seemed super
nuous Il would have been much easier just
TO have bought the scores OF a few musical plays
gone before-"Fantana, is ii. something oy
Iuders? One gets them all hopelessly mixed!
The story Of THE District Leader, concerned
rival candidates for office IN New York. and twin
brother OF one of them, and treacherous party
leader and a reporter. and a soubrette. The scenes
were laid in the lobby of the Kaufman House. In
Chinatown and Union Square. Possibly the proud
author meant 20 emulate Harrigan and Hart but
at best he succeeded In writing rather fat. tame
and provincial (uhatever that isD melodrama To
give it serious attention would be absurd.

RAPS CIVIL SERVICE.
Justice MADDOX CriticiSes Questions
asked Candidates for Firemen.

Justice Maddox. in the Supreme Court Brooklyn
yesterday criticised the Municipal Civil Service
S,ornunission for some Of the questions which it
comnelled candidates for the position Of fireman to
answer Sixteen candidates from Richmond who
had rsssed the physical examination were before
him, seeking wrts of mandanus directing their
annointment though they had failed on the mental
test They said that the questions that had caused
them failure were not such fremen should be
called upon 20 answer.
While denying the writs. Justice Maddox said
that he agreed with them in their contention. His
words were:
Some Of the questions propOunded had nothing
whatever 90 do with the duties of fireman ana
the echeme Of appointment on fitness and merit IS
being put 20 a fair test What has fireman TO do
co,Insel with the difference between a grand and
a petit Jury or what majority in the Legislature
is necessary to pass a law over the Mayors veto?
I cannot conceive that, ana doubt II the members
OF the Civil Service Commission were aware OF the
questions. The Fire Commissioner should have
been.
Fire Commissioner O'Brien said last night that
the physical tests all that his department
responsible for. The mental tests. he said were
''up to- the Civil Service Commission.
Alfred J. Talley, Of the Civil Service Commission
said last night:
The municipal Civil Service examination has been
made as practical possible. There is mental
ton is practically test OF mans general intelli-
gence There are some questions OF government
asked with which every man, ana especially hre-
tions were approved by the State Civil Service
Commission.
