NEW TARIFF ARRANGEMENT
German Federal Council VIII Dispose
OF Provisional Agreement
in short Time.

BERLIN, April 2s.-The provisional tariff
arrangement between the United States and
Germany viii be disposed OF by the federal
council In a few days. Then the Reichstag
will take up the matter and pass the
bill prior TO It's adjournment which has
now definitely been fixed for the week be-
fore. which is Sunday
The Lokal Anzeiger says il hears that
there is considerable opposition developing
among the conservative parties to the fea-
ture OF the arrangement prolonging Il
tacitly. Neither party denounces 1t. The
conservatives profess to fear this will mean
an indefinite continuance Of the provisional
arrangement, giving the United States all
the advantages Of good commercial treaty
without giving any Of the equivalents
which It should have to give in order to get
a treaty. The conservatives add that this
feature may postpone the conclusion of a
treaty TO the distant future.
PARIS April 9.--Ambassador White has
Joined Consul General Mason in recon-
mending that the American government
propose the appointment OF joint tariff
committee similar to the one which has
been in session at Berlin, with the hope Of
reaching a basis for the avoidance Of fu-
ture tariff complications with France.
The American Chamber Of Commerce of
Paris has forwarded similar recommenda-
tions to Secretary Root. The chamber is
convinced that unless a reciprocity treaty is
negotiated soon the French government
will not be able to resist the demands of
the manufacturers and that a tariff war
against the United States will be inaugll-
rated.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The supreme
court Of the United States today decided
in effect that the railroad commissioners OF
the state OF North Carolina can cempel a

passengers on other lines from any par
ticular part OF the state.
The opinion was delivered by Justice
White in the case OF the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad company against the corporation
commission Of North Carolina. The com
missloners directed the company 10 make
connection at Selma at 2I5 p. m, with a
train on another line. The company re-
sisted on the ground that the order could
not be complied with without putting on a
special train. This, II was contended,
amounted TO taking property without due
process Of law. The supreme court OF
North Carolina held against the railroad
and It's decision was affirmed by today s
action on the ground that the order does
not anect rates. but u = proper act OF
regulation.

KANSAS CITY MAN CONTROLS BUSINESS
w. J. Burgess DispOses of Hts
Interests to o. ID. Woodward
and Retires from All But

KANSAS CITY. April 29.-(special Tele-
ram)-Negotations are pending between
o. d. Woodward and w. ]. Burgess, mem
bers Of the theatrical firm Of Woodward &
Burgess for a dissolution Of interests.
Whether the deal succeeds or not, Mr..
Woodward will remain in Kansas City, he
said today This is taken in local theatrical
circles to mean that the business will be
divided, Woodward taking the local inter
ests and Burgess those controlled in
Omaha The disposition Of the theater in
Sioux City is not known.
The firm controls and manages the willis
Wood and Auditorium theaters here, a
house at Sioux City and the Burwood and
Boyd theaters in Omaha.
Up until the present season the firm had
things pretty much their own way I'm Kan
sas City. The Willis Wood. one Of the
most costly play houses in the west. housed
practically all Of the best attractions on
the road. while the Auditorium was fortu-
nate in having a stock company Of great
drawing ability. The present season, how
ever, is said to have been rather dlsap-
pointing. The new Shubert has been max
ing serious inroads in profits at the willis
Wood and unfortunate selections I'm the
personnel of the stock company has done
much toward destroying the popularity
once enjoyed by the Auditorium.
Woodward Buys Burgess Holdings.
Word was received in Omaha last night
TO the effect that Mr. Woodward had pur-
chased all the interest of Mr.. Burgess in
the Woodward & Burgess Amusement COM
pany and would continue till July in con-
troll of all the theaters managed by that
firm. After July l Mr. Burgess will have
control of the Burwood theater in Omaha.
The engagements booked at the theate-s
will be filled under the management OF
Woodward & Burgess for the rest Of the
present season.
The partnership between Messrs. o. D.
Woodward and w. J. Burgess was formed
IN 1896. the first venture being in ownership
Of the Woodward Stock company, which
was installed at the Creighton theater. The
managerial firm at that time was Paxton
& Burgess Mr.. W. A. Paxton, jr., being
the senior member of the firm. In 1891
| Paxton & Burgess secured control Of the
| Boyd theater also and the Woodward Stock
| company was made a permanent feature
at the Creighton. Later ventures took the
! frm to Denver and to Kansas City Mr..
| Paxton soon retired and the Woodward &
| Burgess Amusement company was formed.
1t has operated in Iowa, Kansas, Colorado,
Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota and Ne
