Theatorium lnstalls Modern Fireproof
Operating Room.

During the past week Manager Hell
beck of the "Theatorium" has had a
large force of carpenters, decorators,
etc. at this house, and they have
made this ever-p: pular photo play
house look like an entirely new one.
The house has been repainted and re-
decorated throughout, and a new Pow
ers No. GA picture machine installed.
This machine is absolutely fireproof,
and is approved by the national board
of underwriters of America.
The operating room has been replac-
ed by what is known as an Asbestos
Booth the description of which fol
lows:
This style of booth is built Of inde-
structible mineral asbestos and pos
sesses greater fire resisting proper
ties than any other material suitable
for constructing operating rooms. Fire,
heat, or water have practically no
effect on it. The walls and roof are
made of asbestos panels, framed with
angle irons, and provided with spring
door, ventilator trap and port holes.
Should a fire occur at any time in
this operating room, it is confined en-
tirely to this room, and the audience
would know nothing about it.
Manager Helbeck is also making ar
rangements to have a large exit in
the rear, to be used in case of an
emergency.

TO REVISE ANTITRUST LAW.

washington, d. C.-RecOmmenda-
lions in favor of several amendments
to the Sherman Antitrust law were
practically decided upon Friday at
an executive meeting of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
held to discuss report on the hear
lngs during 1911 and 1912
The committee took no positive
action beyond requesting Senator
Cummins, of Iowa, to prepare it's re-
port, but the discussion among the
Senators present indicated that the
members were in substantial agree
ment for an amendment amAking to
the maintenance of the principle of
competition rather than the regula-
ton Of monopoly, as was strongly
favored by many financiers and bust
ness men who gave testimony.
There also appeared practically a
unanimous opinion in support of the
contention that the present law as a.
whole should not be disturbed, but
that changes should be in the form
of supplemental action to strengthen
the original intent of the law, which
is interpreted as meaning that all
combinations interfering with COM
petition should be held to be illegal.

THERE WILL BE NO TIME TO
WASTE
WASTE,

Chairman Underwood and the 9TH
er Democratic leaders may be right
IN combining the special session of
Congress to the tariff, but we trust
there will be very deliberate con-
slderatIon Of the question before
coming to a final decision. The
trust problem is so closely related
to the tariff that the two seem to
belong together in legislative treat
ment, and might properly be dis
cussed and acted upon at the same
time. The inclusion of trust Iegis-
latlon would not necessarily delay
tarlH revision. Bills dealing with
the latter will probably be ready for
introduction into Congress as soon
as 1t assemblies, and they could be
promptly put through the House.
While the Senate was considering
them, the House, instead Of marking
time and getting into mischief, could
devote itself to the proposed amend
ment of the Sherman Antitrust law.
Ihe reform of our currency system
may be too large a proposition to
dispose of at the special session. but
1t is not second in Importance to
either tariff or trust legislation. and
1T might be greatly advanced. if not
entirely concluded, by beginning on
it at once.
The advantage of taking UP these
subjects Immediately and together
is that the Democratic legislative
ana administrative program would
be put under way without delay. and
would not be hampered or held back
by difficulties which will no euro !

thousands OF dollars worth OF
goods annually if only the
many forces which make for the de-
velopment of trade between this
country and Scotland would cooper
ote, according to United States Con-
sui H. D. Van SAINT, writing from
Dunfermline, the birthplace of An
drew Carnegie.
Mr.. Van SAINT gives an illustration.
He says that a large or varied as
Sortment of American goods, if shipp-
ed together to a depot in Scotland,
Wauld gain wider distribution than
under separate shipments. He is
stoutly in favor also of landing them
on Scottish soil instead of sending
them by roundabout ways to London
or Hamburg. He is evidently of the
opinion that the former method
would better please the Scotch, as
well as save English or Continental
freights.
''The enterprise of American
agents in London and elsewhere in
the United Kingdom, together with
the work of the American consular
SERVICE" continues he, "have been
business where other countries pre-
yiously controlled the trade, yet these
could be increased through the CO.
operation and we'll directed supervis-
ion. The methods Of the big Amer
lean exporters Of steel, iron, machin-
cry, musical instruments, metals,
tools, drugs, and toilet articles, oil,
flour, canned goods, and meats could
serve as model for pushing trade in
lesser lines and where direct Ameri-
can representation would not pay.
Sales in interior points could be
made through Scottish agents, as at
present, and under American depot
management Scottish commercial
men would sell more than other un-
acquainted with the conservative buy
ing methods of the shop-keepers or
the tastes or needs of their Gus
toners.
To show the loss in time and post
age and the lack of understanding
of the needs of the trade in this dis
frlct, the following recent inquiries
from the United States as to trade
openings are reported:
