the most important additions to exist
ing laws are:
A newspaper or other periodical may
be in part composed of advertisements
which are permanently inserted in, or

weight han the text of UGH publica-
ton.

MAY IMDICT THE
THEATER MAGMATES

New York. Jan. 29.-It is generally
believed enough evidence has been Sc
cured by the grand jury to warrant in
dictment OF the heads OF the theater

The contract of the combination
formed by Al Hayman, Charles Froh-
man, Nixon & Zimmerman and klaw
& %Ilrlanger. was the principal piece of
evidence against the syndicate. 1t was
signed on August 81, 1896, to run for
Eve years. when 1t was renewed. Last
June 1t waS renewed again.
Members of the combination were to
pool profits. Each company that the
syndicate controlled got 70 per cent. of
the gross profits of the house, and 80
per cent. went to the manager of the
house, out of which he had to give a
third to the trust. In the contract
there was a clause that they We're not
to allow any opposition attraction to
play in their houses on the circuit. nor
would any of the houses controlled by
the trust be allowed to book any in
dependent attractions.
The syndicate had about fifty houses
on its circuit when the agreement was
signed. Now it has all but about 100

pei the board to admit japanese to the
public schools for white children; it
also ~appropriates $4,000 for the en-
ployment of special counsel.
ASsemblynlan Grove l.. Johnson, au-
thor of the resolution, arraigned Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his entire course in
the matter, saying that the federal gov
eminent was attempting to infringe
on the rights of the state.
THE trade of the orient is their
song" said Mr.. Johnson. Before the
rebellion it was 'WeFTl lose the trade of
the south Let the't rad of the orient
go, but let us preserve the right of the
state Of California to settle its own
school question.
IF the president has his way the
state win become the mere province OF
q centralized power, and the dream of
Alexander Hamilton viii become true.
Courts very rarely decide against their
own jurisdiction. 1t is my experience
as a lawyer for forty years that the
courts fear the power that appoints
them. In the United States supreme
courr, presidents in the past, and Pres
ident Roosevelt in particular, has an
ally, and this body will decide as he
wants, at least this has been the course
of procedure in the past"

w are prepared to prove:
THAT the copper trust, SO called, haA
created an artificial scarcity of copper
by storing large quantities at Butte,
Mont; Hoboken, N. j.; Perth Amboy,
n. j.; Bayonne, N. j.; Bisbee. Ariz.;
Canarea, Mexico; Houghton, Mich, and
other places known to our association
and refusing to sell it except in small
Quantities.
We submit that the present danger
to he trade is not so much the high
price Of copper as is the fear that the
price being held at an artificial height
may be lowered suddenly should the
copper combination succeed in selling
its stored up produce =: sc present
