OF THEATER FIGHT
Continued from First Page.)

on the advice Of Acting Attorney Cen
eral Russell, Mr. Thomas this afternoon
went to the office OF District Attorney
Baker and there made a charge that
members OF the sO-called theatrical truss
are causing dispatches to be sent out
from New York with a view TO creating
a public impression that the proposed
new theater cannot be built in Wash
ingtOn. He exhibited newspaper clip
pings of two OF the alleged inspired
dispatches. The specific charge is that
the trust asserts that the new theater,
even II built, could not secure bookings
OF any talent, thereby tending to dis
credit IL in advance.

Despite the fact that Coroner hewitt
today signed a certificate Of death due
to natural causes, certain bruises dis
covered upon the head OF William
WindeIhutt. the German octogenaFiaE
whc was found dying in a stable Of

At the mOrgue this morning a scene
of CHASTITY sadness was enacted when
the old mans Withered and shriveled
bcdy was brought before Coroner
hewitt for a final decision as to the
cause Of his death. Upon Winder-

showing that before he finally sue
