PICTURE War
MAY BE ENDED BY BIG MERGER
OF COMPANIES.
Likely 20 Result in Putting About
30 Per Cent of the shows out Of
Existence.

New York. Jan. IA SIS 900, 90 0
merger. according to an announce
ment made last night. will end a
moving picture war that has been in
progress for many months. The
merger Is a consolidation of the in
terests of moving picture material
manufacturers and operators and
will result. II is stated. in crowding
out of business nearly so per cent of
the moving picture places now in
lexistence.
Before the consolidation. which
occurred January 1. the moving pic
ture interests were divided into two
camps. The Edison company headed
what was called the association. and
THE Biograph company the independ-
ents. The so-called association,
through a contract made by the Ed,
son company. practically controlled
the output OF films made in the
United States. but the independents
were able to hold their own by i'm
porting films.
George Klein, OF Chicago, repre-
|senting several foreign manufactur-
ers and a leader of the Independents,
Is credited with bringing about the
merger, which is to be known as the
Motion Picture Patents company
This company took over all the
patent rights of the Edison, Bio
graph, Armat, jenkins, Pross, Vito
graph and Campbell companies.
These patents include everything per
tanning to moving picture operation
and projection.
1t is planned, II is stated, to do
away with the sale outright. of films.
which hereafter can only be rented
from the film service association.
Should this plan go into effect, It IA
likely that within thirty days the
number of moving picture places will
be reduced about one-half.
The Film Service Association,
which is to have a license from the
Motion Picture Patents company, TO
secure its films, will hold the con-
yention here next Saturday.

A Back Number.
Looking at the Indian chief
In a greasy blanket rolled.
II is quite beyond belief
That he once was bad and bold,
That he terrorized the land
with his warwhoops loud and free
And could always turn a hand
In a bloody scalping bee.
Now he looks a very jay
Any woman small could chase,
II he got the least bit gay,
With a broomstick OF the place.
Buried is his tomahawk.
And his pride has had a fall.
So the naughty chief must walk
Softly IL he walks at all.
Nothing doing any more
For the man OF copper hue.
To be frank. his day Is DER.
And the red may we'll be blue.
Once he ruled this favored land:
Now he would be more or less
Thankful for a place 20 stand
Or a permanent address.
Gone his glory and his reign,
Gone the chance for him 20 scrap.
Should he venture to complain
We would wipe him of the map.
Right or wrong. we hold the soil
over which he once had sway.
Quietly his blood may boil.
But We own the U. 8. A.

The Montgomery Advertiser of
Sunday contained the following,
which will be read with interest
here:
Notice was received at the Com
mercial Club yesterday that the bust
ness men of Pensacola desired the
help of the Montgomery trade insti-
tuition to help them to get the re-
Gently abandoned navy yard back in
operation again, to which work the
Commercial Club will assist
But whether the Pensacola people
will want this help long remains to
be seen, for something far more val
liable to the town, from a business
standpoint, is in store for them. The
representative Of the Chicago finan-
Ciers, who are backing the Chicago,
Pensacola and Pacific Railroad, now
in course of formation, passed
through Montgomery yesterday on his
way to Pensacola to take a look at
the navy yard with an eye to leasing
or buying it from the government as
a terminal for the railroad.
AS the business of the railroad will
depend almost entirely on its trade
with the Orient, the road must have
a maritime town for terminal, and
the town must have a drydock TO
accommodate the boats that may
have suffered damage on the trip
across the Pacific ocean or in the
Gulf. The government abandoning
the Pensacola navy yard is cGnsid-
cred by the promoters of the rail-
road as a God-send, for they have
ready-tO-use and complete plant for
naval repairs TO be used at once, pro-
vided its construction is suitable.
At ~.H
which now has it's right-of way COM
plete, will not be started until the
Panama Canal is a more assured fact
than it is at present, but the belief is
so strong that the canal viii eventu-
ally be completed that the railroad is
going to considerable expense to have
all in readiness for quick touch with
the situation.
1t was said by a Pensacola man in
recently that real estate
in that city has jumped almost to
double its former value.
The telegram from the Pensacola |
Chamber of Commerce reads as fol- |
lows:
Montgomery Commercial Club:
please wire your senators and
to file protest and CO.

he Pensacola navy yard. Work costs /
ess here than at any other navy /
