AN INTERNATIONAL TRUST.
Scheme on Foot to Combine Theater Interests of Europe and
 America.
THEATERs EXEMPT FROM ANTITRUST LAW
Representative of American Syndicate on the Way to London to Pass Upon the Legal Aspects of the combine-lnterest Involved Valued at s1oo, 1000, 900.

New York, July 1S.-Plans for the formation of a gigantic international theater trust, which is to control a majority of the important playhouses
 of America and Europe, were re- vealed when it became known that Levy Mayer of Chicago, the general counsel for the Klaw & Erlanger syn dicate, sailed for London on the Kron- prinz Wilhelm this morning. Mir, Mayer goes for the purpose of pass ing upon the legal plans. The inter- ests involved are valued at $100,000,- 000
 A. l.. Erlanger said here:
 T will say that it is true that We are about to make our interests co extensive with Europe and America. can see no reason why a homoge- neity of management and ownership will be highly beneficial to the public. the players, the producers and the owners. Whether some of the principal amusement interests of Flu rope and America can be welded into one necessarily requires a con cert of thought and action on the part of those who are the leaders abroad and here in that line. Our counsel sailed Tuesday morning on the Kronprinz Wilhelm to make the arrangements. It will take some time to work out the proposition
 The new international theater trust will, If completed, not alone con trol most of the best theaters in Flu rope, but will also have under con trol the highest talent in legitimate and vaudeville fields. Conferences have been under way for some time In London, at which the managers who now have the control of the for eign playhouses have been inviting American cooperation in working out the deals of the proposed enterprise.
 The move is the outcome of the recent decision of the New York courts. Klaw & Erlangr, Hayman, Frohman and Nixon & Zimmerman wre indicted for the violation of the antitrust act. The direct charge was conspiracy against trade and com merce' The courts decided that the aters and amusements are not trade or commerce" and, therefore, their combination was not violation of the law. The indictments were quashed
 The decision paved the way for the | formation of the United Amusement company as an adjunct to the pres ent Klaw & Erlanger interests. The syndicate at present owns or con- trols about 500 theaters in the Uni ted States, affecting in ownership and booking contracts interested to be close to s50,000O0O.

ALAMO OF NEW GUINEA.
Grass That Makes Fierce Warfare on
 All Other Kinds of Vegetason'

Dr poeh. the Austrian antnropo- iogist who has spent a long time in New Guinea studying it's natives anu it's geography, tells of remarkaoie variety of grass that makes herce warfare upon other kinds Of vegeta- ton so that practically nothing else grows where it gets foothold.
 The natives call it alang. It has q tall, thick and tough stalk, but us greatest peculiarity is its roots, wnlcn spread out through every particle or earth they reach and give it matted texture something like felt There IS really no room left for the the roots of any other kind of vegetation.
 Fields of alang cannot exist Tn TOT ssts because the plant does not thrive n the shade. Neither can any kind of tree make headway in patch or alang.
 The two kinds of vegetation are an .agonistic. One will not grow where he other exists. Large patches oi alang are found surrounded by tim Der and remain there like islands, for no trees will grow in them. Between the alang and the forest is sort oi neutral zone, for the shade of the high trees prevents the development of the grass.
 The New Guinea natives help to ex iend the area covered by this grass Each year they make a new clearing in the forest for their little planta tions. As soon as these are aban doned the alang takes firm lodgmen' there. It has won just so much ter ritory from the forest and it yields to no corners.

WRIGHT kOI 4 SUCCESS
The Tennesseean Failed to Glove the Mailed Fist as Ambassa-
 dor to Japan.
CAUSED FRICTION BETWEEN TIE NATIONS
Gen. Wright Was Faithful in Dis charge of His Duties but Lacked Tact in Dealing With Sensitive Japs-o'Brien Expected to Right Matters.

Washington, July 19.-The admins tration hopes for a better understand ing and an early adjustment Of ques. tions involving the proposed immi- grafton. amity and trade treaty with Japan soon after the arrival at his new post at Toldo of Ambassador Thomas O'Brien
 The information that the services Of Gen. Luke Wright, of Tennessee, the retiring ambassador, have not been as satisfactory as the administration might wish. became known here Thursday. The first intimation in this connection which came to Washington was brought in mail advices from Manila. Tn fact, there was an asser- tion to this effect published in Ma nila daily paper. Inquiry in official administration circles confirmed the assertion.
 It seems that while Gen. Luke Wright has been faithful and true in the discharge of his duties, he has ig- nored the elementary principles of diplomacy to glove the mailed fist and show only the velvet covering. From what can be learned as to the i'm pression of the state department, Gen. Wright has been persistent and con sistent in insisting upon the rights of Americans in Japan and the correct ness of the position which the United States has assumed in the San Fran cisco school and other controversies in which the two countries have been involved
 It appears that he has shown cer tain amount of self-assertiveness and combativeness, which has had the ef feet of divorcing from him the coop eration and ready response which rep resentatives from this country have been received in the past,
 The president was glad to accept the resignation of Gen. Wright, who is to return to Memphis, Tenn.
