THEATRICAL MANAGERS
INDICTED IN new YORK
Charged With Controlling Many
Houses and Companies.
KLAW AND ERLANGER BRILED
Samuel Nixon, J. +. Zimmerman,
Marc Klaw, Abraham Erlanger,
Charles Frohman and Al Hay
man Named as Conspirators.

ndAA Ndu1cO as OO1SplrACOrSs
New York City.-A blanket bill OF
Indictment, charging six members of
the so-called Theatrical Trust. with
conspiracy in restraint of trade, was
returned by the Grand Jury. The
theatrical managers named in the in
dictment are Samuel Nixon and j. F.
Zimmerman, composing the firm of
Nixon & Zimmerman, of Philadelphia
and New York; Marc Klaw and Abra-
ham Erlanger, of the firm of Klaw &
Erlanger, and Charles Frohman and
Al Hayman, all of this city.
OF these men only Messrs. Klaw
and Erlanger were in town. Nixon
and Zimmerman are in Philadelphia,
and Charles Frohman and Al Hayman
are in Europe.
The Indictment, filling seventy
typewriter pages, was handed up to
Judge Foster in Part 1. of General
Sessions. Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger
had already been summoned by their
counsel, Alfred Lauterbach, and bail
in the amount of $1,000 each was fur
nished by big Tim" Sullivan, who
gave as security the Dewey Theatre,
in East Fourteenth street, which he
said was worth 100000.
The Indictment sets forth in detail
the acts of the so-called trust. The
charge is that the managers have
conspired to monopolize the theatre
cal business both as to ownership of
theatres and as to the production of
theatrical attractions. Under the
statutes, such a violation of the In
terstate law is a misdemeanor.
The conspiracy, it is charged, takes
the form of written agreements en-
tered into in 1896 and 1900 by the
indicted managers. By these agree
ments the several managers agree to
pool theatres and attractions and di-
vide the profits of the business. At
the time of the organization of the
so-called trust, the indictment points
out, it controlled fifty theatres
throughout the country. At the pres
ent time it absolutely controls 500
of the 600 prominent ones.
The indictment also charges that
by means of the combination, the
managers have coerced actors, play
wrights and owners, and. have COM
PEELED owners of many theatres to
give the syndicate exclusive control

payment for which the syndicate has
extorted from twenty-five to fifty per
cent. of the profits Of the houses.
AS an instance OF the methods of
the syndicate, the case of Sarah Bern
hardt is cited. In her last tour of
this country, in 1905, permission was
refused her TO play in syndicate
houses, for the reason that she was
! appearing under the direction of a
rival firm of managers. In her tour
Nine. Bernhard played only in in
dependent houses, and was frequent
ly forced to appear under tents.

OF Accident-Sixty Perished In.
stantIy-Victims in Pit 600 Feet
Deep.
Charleston, ". va.-With a deto-
nation heard for miles around. coal
dust and gas in the Stuart mine, near
Fayetteville. exploded. bringing a ter
rible death to the eighty men who
were at work more than 500 feet be-
low the surface. There is no chance
tina any of the men will be taken out
alive, for it is thought that the ter
rifle force of the explosion snuffed
out their lives instantly. 1t will not
be possible for the rescuers to reach
the bottom of the shaft for forty
eight hours.
Most of the men were Americans,
and many OF them were married and
had large families. There were a
dozen negroes and fifteen or more
foreigners.
,. The rescue work was hec1n as
soon AS the wrecked parts of the
shaft house could be repaired. About
two hours after the explosion three
men were lowered into the shaft.
Before descending sixty feet two of
the men were overcome with foul
air, and the third was barely able TO
give the signal to his comrades at the
top. All further attempts were abap-
doned for the time.
|. Air was suDDlied to fhe mine by
several large fans, but the mechan-
ism was damaged. and the fans were
idle for about two hours. Tue fans
were then started again. and If the
men were not all dead by the force
of the explosion, it may be that thev
will have air enough to survive until
the TescuerS reach them.
The scene about tho mine is pa
thetic, men. women and children cry
ing for their dear ones and imploring
those on the ground to go to their
rescue.
The Stuart mine is a shaft 56S
feet deep. The development is in the
SewaII seam. which ranges in thick
ness from four to five feet. The
mine is located on the White Oak
Fuel Comnany's private land, con
Meeting with the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad at Carlisle. The man.
ager is F. F. Dixon. The mine il
owned by the Stuart Colliery Com
PAW.
The bodies lie 500 feet below the
surface of the earth.
Fifteen men had Just left the mine
and were far enough away from the
mouth to escape injury when the .ex,
plosion occurred.
The echo of the explosion hat
hardly died away before the men OF
the outside began to arrange rescue
parties. 1t vas found that the force
of the explosion had put the veDtiiat
ing fans out of commission and dis
arranged the cage so hat it tool
two hours to get things in condition
for the first venture.
Superintendent Dixon. Tom Davi!
and James Whistle started down il
the cage, but had not gone far wheI
they found themselves overcome b!
the fumes and had to give the hoist
ing signal. Dixon vas the only ont
who had sufficient strength to let i
be known to those above what wa
wanted, and but for him the three
would have persisted. They were
drawn back and no further attemp
has been made to go into the mine.
