A MOVING PICTURE
man IS ARRESTED
Theatrical Trust Lands the
Man Who Showed Out
lawed Film Here.

Charles c. White, moving picture
promoter of Chicago. who was discov-
cred showing a "Ben-Hur" film at the
Arcade theater in this city April Is,
by Klaw and Erlanger representa-.
tive, was apprehended at ST. Marys,
Ohio. today by Pinkerton detectives
and was taken to Toledo to face a
charge of violation of the copyright
law and an Injunction issued three
years ago by the United States court
Of appeals.
The copyright covering the Play of
"Ben-Hur" is leased from Harper
Brothers by the Klaw and Erlanger,
Theatrical trust,) giving them control
over the play and moving pictures as
we'll. Several years ago the Kalenl
Film company attempted to show
moving pictures of the play and suit
was instituted by. the trust with the
result that an injunction was issued
prohibiting exhibition Of the pictures
and ordering the destruction OF the
films then owned by the Kalem com
pany. Several films escaped destruc
tion, and it is alleged that it is one OF
these fugitive films that White has
been showing.
Edward Cooke, manager of the Ben.
Hur" company. stated today that mas
much as White had been told in this
city that the exhibition of the film was
a violation and had then continued
to show it. the Klaw and Erlanger at.
torneys would push the case as hard
as possible in an effort to get limit
sentence passed on White. No prose
cution of the Arcade management will
be made.

National Road.
AN INSPECTION OF
THE ROAD is MADE
Attorneys for the Commits
sioners Tell Traction Men
to Act Quick or Litigation
Will Follow.

After two hour conference on Fri
day morning without either side be-
coming satisfied with the proposition
of the other, the county commission
ers with their attorneys and oficials
of the Terre Hante. indianapolis &
Eastern Traction company, including
general manager Todd, vice president
John Appel, general superintendent G.
X Jeffries and general counsel Ferdin-
and Winters. went on an inspection
tour of the National Road improve
ment west of the city, in the afternoon.
Before the conference with the Off
cials the commissioners and their at
torneys, including H. U. Johnson, T.
J. Study and J. F. Robbins held con-
ference in which the commissioners
determined to stand by their original
declaration, which was not to modify
the specifications for the improvement
SO as to effect the contract or the
work in any way, which was refusal
of the comrany's request to be allow
ed to use the center of the highway
as far west as Easthaven avenue and
to locate their tracks on the remain
der of the improvement on the south
side of the forty-six foot highway.

The company several months ago
was ordered, to get ON the section Of
the highway to be improved at the ex-
pense OF $55,0OO to the township tax.
payers, but has neglected to comply
and now the commissioners are seek
ing to compel the company to do SO.
On Thursday attorneys of the county
conferred with the traction oficials at
indianapolis and there again informed
the company that the commissioners
would institute mandamus proceed
ings to compel compliance with the or
der. unless the company removed the
tracks willingly.
The result of this conference was
arrangements for the meeting held to.
day The company was instructed to
send officials who could take definite
action. This was the reason why all
the high moguls of the company were
here today.
Unless an agreement is reached
soon the attorneys for the commits
sioners undoubtedly will file the man
damus proceedings which are ready
for fling in the circuit court
Attorney Winters for the road holds
that inasmuch as the company's
tracks have been located on the road
for several years the commissioners
have no authority to change this loca
ton and if the case istaken into the
courts, this will probably be the com
pany's defense.

attack upon the city by insurrectos.
General Miranda, commanding 300
rebels at Adjusco, has served notice
that after the arrival Of 5000 rein

the city.
President Diaz is taking stern mea-
sures to prevent an uprising in the city
and troops with machine guns are be-
ing massed on an eminence command
ing the city. The streets are being
patrolled nightly and the slender gar
rison of defenders is being worked to
the utmost. The plans Of defense are
being worked out. Captain w. G. Per-
ry, former member of the Louisiana
legislature, and Major G. 8. Douglass
are forming a foreign legion for the
defense of foreign lives and property
in the event the capital Is attacked.

commissioners near Juarez.
I'VE have nothing to do with Ma

even if Madero does sign treaty Of
peace. We are here awaiting thou

been operating about Cuernavaca and
when they arrive we shall open new
campaign.
