TRUST FORMED BY
7HEA7ER MANAGERS
NO MORE FANCY SALARIES TO BE
PAID ACTORS
Western Stock Association Is Organ
lied at Meeting and All Large
Cities in the West Are
Represented

What is looked upon by actors ana
actresses who will probably be chiefly
effected as a virtual trust among the
stock theaters of the Pacific coast was
formed last night, when the Western
Stock Managers association was or
ganized.
Oliver Morosco, manager of the Bur-
bank is president of the new concern;
John h. Blackwood, manager of the
Belasco, vice president; Dick Ferris,
manager of the Auditorium, treasurer
and William Fenn secretary. George
l.. Baker of Portland was appointed
manager for oregon, Washington and
Colorado and Fred Belasco of San
Francisco for Northern California. The
directors are II. w. Bishop, Oakland;
Alex Pantages, Seattle; Charles w.
Aliskey. Sacramento Harry Haywood,
Spokane and George b. Hunt, san
Diego.
Denver, Seattle, Spokane, Portland,
Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco,
Los Angeles and San Diego are all rep
resented in the association, and the or
agnization comprises practically every
stock theater of Importance on the Pa
cifc coast.
Competition for the best talent has
been keen of late years among the
manag gers of the stock theatefS, anu as
result some of the actors and
actresses have been receiving fancy
salaries. That this will no longer be
the case was practically admitted by
the officers of the new organization
last night They frankly declared the
keen competition of the past had be-
come a burden and that the elimina-
ton of this feature was the chief OBJ
ject of the alliance.
rr.t-- +n entire
stock theatrical business of the west,
and with the representation at last
nights meeting it seems assured this
plan will be realized.

.LANTERMANS
CASE ARGUED
WRIT OF PROHIBITION DELAYED
AWAITING BRIEFS
Attorneys for Defense Say Police
Court Has No jurisdiction in Trial
Of coroner-Prosecutor
Present Pleas

Attorney Earl Rogers, representing
r s. Lanterman. coroner of Los An
Eeles county; e. J. Fleming, city pros
ecutor, and w. ]. Ford, his assistant,
yesterday appeared before Appellate
justices NJ. T. Allen, " e. Shaw ana
J. W. Taggart to argue for and against
the granting of a writ of prohibition
by that court, the issuance of which
would prevent the police court from
trying the coroner, who is charged with
being intoxicated while in office.
The ground on which the writ of
prohibition is sought is that the police
court has no jurisdiction in the case.
Lanterman's counsel contended that
his offense is punishable by fine and
Imprisonment and that forfeiture of
his office is a part of the sentence.
Therefore. they say, it is outside of
the jurisdiction of the police courts,
as the limit of their power is with
the imposition of a fine, not exceeding
$500 or six months in jail, and they
have no legal authority to oust
county official.
Ford Presents Case
Mr.. Ford presented the case in behalf
of the city, covering exhaustively every
point that could be made against the
issuance of the writ. Mr.. Fleming
took little part in the argument, saying
he was satisfied with the manner IN
which the case had been placed before
the court by his associate.
The contention of the city prosecutors
is that forfeiture of office is no part
of the sentence imposed for a mis-
demeanor such as that with which
Lanterman is charged. They maintain,
however, that the coroner must vacate
his office Immediately upon conviction,
whether sentence is imposed at that
time or at a future date.
In this contention they say they are
upheld by many decisions of the SUI
preme court, which, they declare, has
decided that forfeiture of office follows
as a mere legal result of the action,
and the only duty devolving upon the
court is to impose the fine or penalty.
The court, after hearing the argu-
ments, granted ten days TO each side
for the fling of briefs. 1t was said
by the prosecutors last night that they
hoped to file their briefs within two
days after counsel for the coroner had
filed theirs, so the case may again be
taken up within the next two weeks.

FARMERS PERFORM
REMARKABLE
FEATS

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 21.-Crop
reports from over the state indicate
that Pennsylvania farmers will ac-
complish some remarkable feats dur
ing the present year, if the rural cor
respondents of the Philadelphia pa
pers are to be believed. Stories are
corning in by the dozens regarding
the products eff Pennsylvania disci-
pies of Luther Burbank, and in many
instances the "plant wizard" of Cal
ifornia is hopelessly distanced.
From Wilkes-Barre comes the ver-
acious story of a wise agriculturist
who has perfected succotash plant
by crossing sugar corn with beans.
The resulting plant is said to afford
a remarkably fine quality of succo-
tash.
Another Burbank, residing in Ris-
ing Sun, has taken the lemon tree,
the soda bush and the rye plant,
crossed them in a scientific manner,
and produced cross between a tree
and a bush on which grows the finest
quality of rye highballs.
Abraham Sell (the name. it is
hoped. has no special significance) is
a corn farmer, and has so improved
his own private brand of corn that
the stalks have been growing so rap
1ulN lIldl lHt HOlSt llltN
bles a battle Several persons resid-
ing in the vicinity of Sells field have
been driven almost to distraction,
and threats were made to have Sell
arrested for disturbing the peace, un-
til he succeeded in perfecting a me-
chanical device which prevents the
CORN from growing at night, thus all
lowing the ne'ghbors to sleep.
Less startling, but equally wonder
full is the story that comes from a
truthful correspondent at Morphy's
Cross Roads, where John Slavin has
crossed the common Irish potato of
commerce with the butter bean and
thus produced buttered potato.
At Coatesville, it is reported that
an investigating agricultur,st has eff
fected cross between ordinary oats
end the burning bush, thus growing
oats already cooked. Next year he
will attempt to graft the milk weed,
to the end that the morning dish of
cereal may be ready for eating.
