NEW YORK, July 1O.-The theatrical
situation throughout the country par.
ticularly as it affects the NUMBER OF
theaters which are idle, in receiver
hands or otherwise involved, TO the
loss of small stockholders. is attract
ing attention here, as consequence oi
conditions in Providence. r. L., where
no less than five theaters are now Oh
fered for sale or lease.
This loss to stockholders applies not
only to the larger theaters. but there
is certain 1evulsion of feeling golhg
on all over the country as to an idea
heretofore prevalent that fortunes were
easily to be made in moving picture
theaters.
Many Theaters sprang Up.
Many theaters have sprung up
throughout the United States IN re-
cent years. and now that the enthu-
siasm Of promoters is dampened land
lords are looking for responsive
tenants for many of them. Theaters
which originally cost 100000 to
build and equip have been bought for
a fifth of that amount. and new own
ers have possibly made money on them
on that cost basis, but more frequent
ly they have not been able to 40 so,
and there are many instances where
such buildings have been turned into
storage houses or garages. Motion PIC
ture houses have been subject to the
same conditions and investors have
suffered the same hazards, although in
lesser degree.
Last season efforts were made to
bring tire two big theater syndicates
of the United States together for the
purpose of reducing the number of
theaters. so that there would not be
more time to fill and more theaters to
cater to than the syndicates could pro-
vide attractions for. The attempt to
get together failed then. but it is said
in theatrical circles that it is bound
to come sooner or later, and when it
does still more theaters will be idle.
In these circumstances, theatrical men
here, including E. F. Albee, vice presi-
dent of the B. F. Keith theatrical
circuit company. and A. L. Erlanger
have issued warnings to the public.
Providence is not alone, as big and little
cities all over the country report similar
conditions as reported there. Mr.. Albee,
who Is also general manager of the United
Booking Ofices. has been gathering data
on what he says he believes to be the
overproduction of theaters. and he de-
dares that New York, Philadelphia, Bos-

Summary Of War News
AS Issued on Sunday

London, April 1.-THE French Of
fensive in the Woevre, which, it is be-
lieved, is only a prelude to big gen.
eral offensive in the east continues to
make progress, according to official re-
ports from Paris. although the Ger
mans reiterate that all French attacks
have been repulsed.
With the two general STATS in direct
conflict, 1t is difficult to guage the re-
suits of the fighting. Military experts
here, however, express the conviction
that the Germans will be compelled to
send reinforcements to strengthen
their wedge, which penetrates to st.

North Dakota Has More
Coal Than Any State
Pottery Makes a Hit

II would seem that the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco is
giving North Dakotans as much good
information regarding their state as
1t is giving people of other states in
formation of this great common
wealth.
In the following article, sent to The
Forum by Will Holbein, secrtary of
the North Dakota commission. 1t is
shown that this state has more coal
underlying it's surface than any other
state in the union, thing that is not
generally known. a.
1t is safe to say that the average
North Dakotan does not realize the
vast coal beds of the state, and that
North Dakota has the distinction OF
having more coal deposits than any
other state In the union. This is a
fact. For number OF years the state
authorities on this subject have claim
ed that North Dakota had 100000, ,000,-
600 tons of Ignite coal, but the gov
ernment geological survey goes these
authorities one better and have esti-
mated that North Dakota has $685.
O00,000.000 tons of Ignite coal This
fact was learned by visit to the pal
ace OF mines at the exposition at F'ris-
20, where the geological survey has q
fine display, showing the resources of
the various states in the union. The
following table will show conclusive
iy that North Dakota leads in coal, as
she does in many other things:
State Tons of Coal
North Dakota ......... SOS, 900, 900, 900
Wyoming .............. $4,000, 600, 900
Montana ............ $4,000, 900, 900

STEAMER
MINI. HIT
A ROCK
Passengers and Grew All
Safe - Taken Off BY
Steamer Cana.
WIRELESS SUMMONED HELP
Believed Vessel Can Be
Floated Divers Go to
the Rescue.

Koke, Japan. April 12.-The Ameri-
can. steamer Minnesota, plying be-
tween Japanese ports and Seattle,
struck rock at $50 last night, off
Iwajiina, near the southwestern en-
trance of an inland sea.
In the wireless message, Captain
Gariick has asked for the salvage of
the steamer. He says that all the
passengers and the crew are safe.
The Minnesota sailed from Nagaski
Sunday morning, bound for Kobe, Yo-
kohama and Seattle. She passed
through the straight Of Shimonoseki
safely and was in the inland sea when
the accident occurred.
Wireless teIegraphy was employed
by the Minnesota in calling help. A
steamer Immediately responded, said
to be the Cana and tooff Of the pass
engers, the exact number of which was
not ascertained. The passengers had
just finished dinner when the crash
came.
A salvage steamer with a tender and
divers was sent from Moi, and will
reach Nne scene or the wreck tomorrow
morning. The Japanese cruiser
Yakumo also heard the calls for heIp
and speeded to the rescue. She ar
rived on the scene and found the en-
tiras - or the Minnesota working
desperately at the pumps.
1t is believed that the Minnesota
can be floated, but beyond the fact
that one of her holds is pierced by a
rock the amount Of damage is un-
known.
A report received says the Blue Fun
mel Line steamer Cana, for Seattle,
rescued the passengers of the Mime
sofa.
From details later by telegraph, it
appears the Minnesota mistook her
course during storm. Thick
weather prevented her from sighting
the lighthouse.
According to newspaper dispatches
published here there were 335 first
class passengers, mostly Americans,
aboard the Minnesota. together with
twenty 1.-TWO second and forty-four
third class passengers The crew of
the steamer numbered 277 men. Twen-
ty-nine of the first class passengers
were bound for Japan.
The Minnesota on her outward trip
left Seattle Feb. s. for Yokohama,
where she arrived Feb. %. She was
at Nagasaki on March 3, at Hong
Kong on March IL, and sailed from
Manila on her return trip April 4.
