ORGANIZE THEATER TRUST

CHICAGO, July l6.--The Daily News says
that plans for the formation OF a SlOO,00lCO
trust in worlds theaters became known
today. The International Theater trust
will according to report, not only control
the best thoaters in Europe, but have
under contract the highest talent in lesitt-
mate and vaudeville folds, The attempted
formation of this new theatrical undertake
ing is expected to grow out of the recent
decision Of the New York courts that thea
ters and amusements are not trade and
commerce. and that therefore their COM
bination is not a violation of law"
A. L. Erlanger is quoted as saying: Il
will say that It is true that we are about
to make our interests co-eXtensive with
Europe and America, l can SEQ no reason
why a homogenety of management and
ownership will not be highly beneficial to
the public, the players, the producers and
the owners. Whether some of the prin-
cipaI amusement interests of Europe and
America can be welded into one necessarily
REQUIRES a concert of thought and act on

were at so weet Jackson boulevard, Chit

several hours later. Two other passen-
gers on the Burlington train, whose names
were not learned, were slightly hurt They
were able to continue their journey. The
other passengers on the Burlington sleeper
escaped with a severe shaking up. The
Great Western engine was damaged, but no
ono on that train was hurt
Ulrich, who was about rs years old, was
caught in a trap in the toilet room Of the
sleeper. He was preparing to retire and
was locked in when the collision occurred.
The Great Western engine crashed into the
wash room and within two feet of Ulrich
who evidently had been stunned by the
force Of the compact. II was only with
the greatest difficulty that Ulrich could be
reached and when removed from the toilet
room he was unconscious. He had sus-
tained fracture of the skull. was badly
scalded and had inhaled a good deal OF

discredited here, and would ordinarily have
invited angry comments against the source
of information. is quietly left without edi-
torial comment in the leading Japanese

tude may be sought in the fact that despite
the war talk which is being transmitted
here from America. the impression con-
tinues to prevail that the friendly relations
existing between the United States aud
Japan is too deep-rooted TO be destroyed
by any anti-Japanese sentiment, which,
however loudly voiced, is known to be
