AGAINST AMERICANS
VENEZUELAN COURT DECIDES
IN THE oRINoCo CASE.

CARACAS. Venezuela, March II. via
The high federal court of Venezuela
has handed down a decision. from
which there is no appeal, against the
Manoa Company and the Orinoco Com
pany, Limited, American concerns. annul-
ling the famous Fitzgerald concession I'M
der which these companies claimed rights
in Venezuela.
The claims of these companies consti-
tute one of the matters which are now
being discussed automatically between
Washington and President Castro Ru-
dolph Dodge. representing the Ornoco
Company, the present owners of the Fitz-
tie American legation here against this
decision.
The United States cruiser Tacoma ar
rived at La Guaira today. Her coming is
considered inopportune and it is liable to
create some local excitement.
The finding of the court declares that
lhe Fitzgerald concession is Cancelled on
account of the failure Of the concession
aires to comply with the terms of their
contract. Disinterested Americans and
other foreigners say the decision is strict
ly in accord with the law of equity and
the facts. Mr.. Dodge asserts that the
American government will insist, even to
employing force. that the finding of the
court be reversed.
An outbreak of some fatal illness at La
bubonic plague The authorities have or
dered that careful investigation be made
and an accurate report sub itted to Pres
ident Castro.

CINEMAToGRAPH PLAYS.
Noted French Playwrights and
Actors Are Emploved.
Cablegram to The Star,

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. March 23.-Alfred Capus. Vic
tOrien SardOu Henri Lavendan, Edmond
Rostand and Maurice Donnay are writ
ing plays for the cinematograph, and
Sarah Bernhardt Rejane, Baftet. Jeanne
Granier, Mounet Sully, Coquelin. lie
Bargy and Guitry viii act them. This
will surely be something new.
The cinematograph has undoubtedly
damaged theaters. Why should not play
wrights and playactors turn the new in
vention to account? The idea first came,
it seems, to NJ. Henri Lavedan. and his
fellow-dramatists are taking it up en-
production Of the plays, and NJ lie
Bargy undertakes to stage them NJ.
Alfred Capus says that he is now writ
ing" a cinematograph play for Nj. de
Feraudy of the Francais and Mile. Eve
Lavalliere, that quaint little person Of the
Varieties.
The play will be '.series Of very short
life" AS it is merely to be seen in dumb
show. it would be a work of supereoaga-
ton for NJ. Capus to write complete
dialogue. But he sketches an outline,
the actors playing it before the recording
camera fills in the canvas more or less
with their own words. In fact, the prin-
ciple seems to be that Of the charade.
The beauty of the cinematograph play
for the actors is that after the final per-
Torrance before the camera their work
is over. According to NJ. Capus, they are
to draw $40 each per rehearsal and $500
for the final performance. M. Capus re-
fuses to look down upon the cinemato-
graph. Shows of this class are now
signing regular contracts with the Society
of Dramatic Authors, and the best
dramatists are writing for them.

LONDON, March 23.-The announce

that the time is coming when money

Even now it is possible tc ride in trains

tain restaurants where customers can
pay so much a month for daily lunch OF
dinner on the continental plan. A hotel
company possessing large establishments
in London, on the south coast and In
the provinces, undertakes for an annual
payment to house and feed one the whole
year round, with full liberty to charge
from hotel to hotel as business or in
clination dictates.
1t is a wonder that some of the big
restaurants have not started this system
for their regular patrons. 1t may be
objected that all these services have to

chased. But that is not quite so. Pay

indeed, it will hardly be wanted at all.

LONDON. March 23.-In the house OF
commons the other day Mr.. Claude Hay.
representing a north OF Ireland constitu-
enCy said he was much scandaliZed at the
progress which the Irish language was
making. In voice tremulous with sup
pressed Indignation he inquired whether
the Bank of Ireland was not accepting
from its customers checks signed in Irish
and whether the postmaster general and
the collectors of the inland revenue were
not receiving postal orders and checks
signed in the same language.
Mr.. Runciman. the financial secretary to
the treasury. told Mr. Hay that the bank
was master of its own affairs in trans
actions between its customers and itself
With regard to the post office and the
treasury his answer in effect was that all
these departments Required was to be
satisfied that the signatures were genuine
Mr. Runciman added that the que stior
whether Irish was in the future to be the
commercial and banking language" ap-
peared to him to be one which should be
decided by the commercial and banking
community rather than by the govern
ment.
