MAKING. ALL MATCHES SAFETIES NOT A TRUST PLOT
Diamond Match Company Fears State Regulation Offers to Assign Patents
 As Proof of Good Faith.


 Exclusive Service The Survey Press
 Bureau.)
 Is the Esch bill to prohibit poison ous phosphorus in matches. which is now pending in Congress Machia- velian scheme to place the small and struggling independent companies in the grasp of trust notorious in the past for merciless practices? The in stinct to fear the Greeks even bearing gifts" has naturally caused many to look for sinister connection between the ownership of the patent for the most widely used substitute for white phosphorusN by the Diamond Match Company, and it's hearty support of the proposed legislation for the pro- lection Of match workers.
 Eight companies have already con- tracted for the use of sesqui-sulphide phosphorus under terms that allow them to produce an unlimited number of matches and to employ any other form of non-poisonous phosphorus of which there are several. But to make all suspicion impossible the Diamond Match company has voluntarily re- mitted royalty of 4-10 of cent granted by these contracts for the use of. sesqui suphide for every thousand matches beyond the amount which a
 
 basis of it's percentage of the num- Der manufactured for the year ending June 30. 1910. As the president says in his letter, however, "there still remains the prob lem of how We can best formulate a proposition in respect to granting li- censes in the future" to existing man ufacturers or to any other, companies that may later on desire to acquire permits. He offers to assign the pa tent in trust to any department or bu- reau of the Federal Government or to any official of any department and his successor in office, in order that licenses may be granted on such terms as may appear in the discre- tion of such department, bureau or individual equitable and fair.'' If no department, bureau or official will ac- cept such an assignment the company offers to execute it in favor of any corporation. association. or individual who can give reasonable assurance that applications for licenses will be promptly and justly treated.
 The cause that explains this re- markable offer is the fear of the man ufacturers that if Federal legislation is not passed the agitation about the dangers in the trade to the workers will result in State legislation that will differ throughout the country and cause unnecessary inconvenience to the business. In fact such action has al- ready been recommended in New York by state official. When such an evidence of good faith is given there is no excuse for failure to follow the example of all the other countries of commercial importance by prohibiting the use of a needless and terrible poi son in the manufacture of matches.

THE THEATRES
POLI'S.

The fame of George M. Cohan of he famous Conan family is known all over this country and in the greater part If Europe AS pro durcr of m 1sical comedy there is no n11n living to-day nor did tn ere ever live a man of the ability of this same George M Cohau and none will dis pute that statement In Conan you have a young man who writes every word of the book of his plays, who writes every line of the music, who submits designs for costumes, scenery and effects and who rehessarses his companies As a dancer and come dian himself he likewise stands alone and of his dancing ability it has been said by an eminent critic that Geo. Conan has pair of legs worth mil lion dollars
 Having all this in mind it is a pleasure to note that Manager Poli win offer as the headline of most attractive bill next week the swiftest musical comedy that George Cohan ever wrote and the one he considers his best effort 1t is called The Governors Son." was originally play ed by the Four Cohans as a vaude- vile offering, was later elaborated i'm to a three act musical comedy and now reverts to vaudeville, bigger success than ever.
 For the present offering Messrs. Klein and Welch who produce it in duced MT. Cohan to stage it for vau- devfile and the master hand of the producer is in evidence all through the act 1t has all the Conan snap and swing and the company having satisfied the hard suited Conan will surely satisfy vaudeville audiences. Seven of the best songs of the three act production have been retained as we'll as the singing and dancing en- semble numbers and that the pro ducers have spared nothing in the way of salaries may be adjudged from the fact that Willie Dunlay ap- pears in the Cohan role and Dunlay tour as star of .The Honeymoon CTS" and for the former Josephine Conan role there has been engaged Rosie Green that celebrated dancer and comdienne who was 1atterly featured in .'Follies of 1910."
 Not the least important engage mentl for the act is that of the fa- nous pony dancers who were seen with Conan in 'The Yankee Prince" The act has been a tremendous hit everywhere especially on the Poll circuit and is expected to repeat it's success here As a special feature of the bill Manager Poli has engag- ed Taylor, Krantz and White. ''F'ir- teen Minutes of Musical Foolish ness" and one of the cleverest sing ing trios now appearing in vaudeville. Other acts of recognized ability to appear include J. Warren Keane the Entertainer of New York's 400," in a series of clever trick assisted by a charming pfaniste: Marseilles, in a spectacular exhibition of contortion work and equilibrium; Wren and Brock a clever duo of musical com edians; The Peerless Marks, a juve- nile team of singers. dancers and inn 1tators who aroused the Hammer stein crowds. and The Kratons' who have no superiors on the vaudeville stage as hoop rollers. The Poll Peerless Motion Pictures will close the bill and the usual capacity crowds are expected.

Sci, 100000 EACH YEAR
is SAVED FOR SHIPPERS
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION DECLINES TO AL
LOW INCREASED RATES.
RAILROADS WILL APPEAL


Washington. The interstate COM
1lerce commission refused to grant
increased freight rates On both East
ern and Western railroads. Proposed
advances in class freight rates in Of
fetal classification territory, aggregat-
ing among all the railways in the ter
titory approximately $27,000,0O0 a
year, we're disapproved by the com.
mission.
This is sweeping victory for the
shippers. The commission instructs
the Eastern and Western roads to
withdraw the proposed tariff increase.
II such action is not taken by March
10, 1911, the commission will further
suspend the rates for term OF three
years.
In the Southwestern rate cases the
railroads are allowed a substantial in.
crease in rates on any commodity.
In allowing these increases of the
Southwestern roads the commission
takes the ground that they are per.
mitted because Southwestern roads
have not prospered in proportion to
their business and revenues, compar.
ed with the Western and Eastern
roads.
The commission before declined to
disturb the commodity rates on South
western roads, schedule of which
was filed some time ago by the South
western roads.
