Monopoly of Gable
Business Impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three ystems-She
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-wiI continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, oPerat-
ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
trans Atlantic cable business:
1-BETTER SER VICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and econom-
icaI working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
2-PUBLIC GEES. The
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and is now untitled. It will
continue to lie dormant and unutilized
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means of new kinds
Ofcable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalist its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic

Changes Hands
a. B. Young Leases Washingtons g
Z Handsome Playhouse for Ten
. Years for Presentation of High
Class Vaudeville.
(By A-R-W-TEE.) }

washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-Paper
are being signed this week by which
Andrew B. Thomas. well-knowr
manager Of this city, takes over tel
year lease on the new and beautiful
howard Theatre. At first negotia
tions were entered into on a fiye-yea,
oasis, but Manager Thomas having
faith in the future, literally ':took the
Dull by the horn," and insisted upon 8
ten years tenure, and carried his
point. The terms of the lease are not
to be made public at this time bur
the figures would startle an amateur
IN the business. It is understood that
Ford Dabney was also a connection
for the house, but finally decided not
to push his bid, having some other big
plans in view.
The policy of the Howard. under
the direction of Mr.. Thomas. will be
to present the highest class vaudeville
obtainable, together with motion pic
lures of the latest subjects. Road
shows Of quality will be played when
they can be secured, and singers. dra-
matte readers and artists Of every line
OF talent will be given an opportunity
to make bookings for entertainments
at the Howard. Mr.. Thomas has had
brilliant success at the Minnehaha The
atre, demonstrating that he knows
how to give the people what they want.
There is no reason~why his larger VEN
ture should not be as successful in
proportion. 1t is expected that the
theatre will be turned over to Mr..
Thomas about the first of October,
after which announcements Of the
grand opening will be made. The en-
ployes will be coIored from box office
to stage door. Two performances
nightly will be given and the admiss-
ion will be ten and twenty cents.
The New Howard Theatre was open
ed on the 22d of August, 1910, under
what was thought to be favorable
auspices, but after few big nights, a
FROST set in, which note even the
strongest attractions have been able
to dispel for more than a fieeting NOM
ent. Every form Of amusement has
been tried, but with the same dis
asterous result The house cost about
100000 to put up, and the Benedict
and Rosenthal management is said to
have lost an immense amount of mon
ey in the thirteen months that the
place has been in operation. The peo-
pie have refused to "stand for" the
inferior melodrama, by even more in
ferior talent being offered, and exist
ing 'eontracts, covering period Of
several months, will be cancelled. If
anybody can cut the jinX out of the
business at the Howard, >Andrew B.
Thomas is thought to be the man.

Tor alleged cheating in favor of the
Democratic organization candidates in
the recent State primaries and the
signing OF an order by Judge Duffy
calling for the opening of ballot boxes
the troubles of the Democrats are in

Inc examination Of scattered pre-
c1ncts throughout the city show evil
dences of general fraud for Democratic
candidates in the recent primaries,
and the general opinion is that men
high up in the Democratic organiza-
ton will be indicted for directing tho
big steal.
The order for the opening of tho
ballot boxes used in the spring elec-
tlon may show that Mayor Preston did
not defeat j. Barry Mahool for the
Democratic mayoralty nomination bv
10000 majority, and may also show
that Preston did not defeat E. CLAW
Ilmanus, the Republican nominee, pv
less than 500 majority.
All these disclosures forbode evil
days for Democracy, and Republican
success grows brighter daily. Dis
reimbursement and other anti-Negro
measures are being forgotten by the
