MOVIES" ALSO
ARE AFFECTED
Cost of Necessary Cartons and
Chemicals Is Increased

Americas pet amusement is menac-
ed in several ways by the European
war.
Unless hostilities in Europe cease or
problems which the war has developed
are solved in some other way, motion
picture theaters throughout America
will be seriously affected. ~
In the first place American manu-
facturers have been unable to produce
carbons Of sufficient lighting power
at an acceptable price to compete in
their own country with foreigners.
Investigations in the East, accord
ing To a theater manager, show a
scarcity OF these carbons and the sup
ply, while not in imminent danger Of
becoming exhausted, is being depleted
rapidly. The cost to the consumer has
already been advanced over 100 per
cent. Dealers are also limiting the
number to be sold to each customer
Equally important supplies affected
by the war. which are causing motion
picture producers considerable uneasi
ness, are the chemicals required TO de-
velop the negatives. Metol, hydro
quinine, potassium carbonate, iodide
OF potassium and citric acid, all Of
which are required in perfecting mega
tives are largely manufactured by the
Germans, Belgians and French. In
most cases these products have al
ready advanced from 800 to 500 per
cent, while in some instances the sup
ply has become exhausted, with no i'm
mediate hope of the stocks being re-
plenished.
Among the Producers.
Among the producers here and
abroad. the war has also been felt. The
Famous Film Players company has
abandoned the production Of it's new
film, THE Silver King" with Guy
Standing in the leading role. Mr..
Standing is an officer in the English
army and he has already left to join
his regiment. Many actors and Off
Gals of companies here and abroad,
especially the foreigners in America
were reservists and large. number
nave already lelt lOr inc 'front.' Mosl
of the Pathe company employees are
French, while the concerns large fac
tory in France has been requisitioned
by the French government as bar
racks for the soldiers.
The foreign studios of the Vita
graph, Eclair and GaumOnt companies
are also reported closed, most of the
men under 40 years Of age having
joined the army. The'ApeX company of
Germany has also been reported as
demoralized by the war. Italy is the
only film producing company in Eu-
rope that is not at war and although
films may be manufactured there, it
is probable that they will be delayed
in shipping or possibly never reach
American ports.
This will mean that American film
producers will be called upon to sup
ply the countless motion picture thea
ters in this country with virtually all
of their pictures.

DEATH OF CHIEF
SHOCK TO CITY
UntimeIy End of Louis voetsch
Casts Pail Over Community

The death of Louis Voetsch, chief Of
theBIoughton fire and police depart
ments at 1890 this morning, following
an injury sustained while on his way
to his home at $3.50 last evening cast
a pail OF gloom over the community
Seldom has the taking away of "A cop
per country resident been the cause
Of such regret as that of Chief
Voctsch or Louie" as he was familiar
" known by everyone in the Portage
Lake towns and his untimely end was
the topic on the streets today.
The accident occurred at the juno
ton of Sheldon and Dakotah streets, a
short distance from the Electric Light
station near which the Copper Range
railroad company was excavating for a
pipe line. The character of the ground
made blasting necessary and while
chief Noetsch was near the Shields
fountain, charge was exploded. De-
spite the fact that every safeguard
was taken to prevent an accident, a
number OF rocks were thrown over the
lighting plant and one OF the missiles
struck Mr.. Voetsch on the temple. He
was rendered unconscious from the
blow and remained in comatose state
until the end.
Chief NOetsCh was on his way home
to his supper and as has long been
his custom he rode on one of the
drays to avoid the climb up the steep
hill on Dakotah street on which he
resided The dray on this occasion
was driven by Robert Baker and "A
fellow passenger was John MacKay an
insurance man with offices on Huron
street. Baker stopped the horses at
the fountain and while the team drank
Chief Voetsch ioked with passing ac-
Quantances. one OF these was Prof
Leo Geismar, county agrculturist,
who was passing in an automobile.
Just as the chief uttered a remark, he
fell backward To the pavement. lmme-
diately Mr.. Geismar and MIR. Mackay
came To his aid and the first knowledge
Of an injury was the sight of gaping
wound i'm the temple. A motor truck
happened along and the injured man
was taken 10 the office of DR.. Turner.
County Physician Labine was sum-
mCned and after a consultation, or
dcrcd Chief NoetscE to be taken To st.
Joscphs hospital. 1t was apparent that
his wound was serious and despite the
efforts of physicians, he passed away
without reraiuing consciousness.
The late Mr.. Voctsch was born in
Houghton 40 years ago and he con-
tinuaIly made his hOme IN this city. At
tie age of Is, he entered the Hough-
ton fire department and in 1897 he was
elected to the Office of chief. During
this period, he was village marshal or
chief of police AS "A fireman. he was
known throughout the peninsula and
ne had been honored with every Office
In the Upper Peninsula Firemen's as
ISOLATION. AS policeman, he was
known as one of the most courageous
but considerable officials in the county
and because of this he had no long
record of arrests. lie was known by
every man, woman and child in the
city.
The late chief is survived by his
widow and five children. Earl, Howard,
Ralph Erma and Stella.
