CHICAGO THEATERS TO FIGHT.
Will Seek Injunction Against New
Anti-Scalping Law.

CHICAGO. January 3.-All of Chi
cago's large downtown theaters, with
the exception of two, are operating to-
day without licenses, as majority OF
the playhouses purposely refrained
from making the required 1915 applica-
ton, with view to seeking an injunc-
ton to prevent the enforcement of the
anti-scalping ordinance. which became
effective January ].
Theaters which failed to make appli-
cation face the possibility of being
closed, it was declared.
The stipulation in the application
blank which the theater owners de-
clare to be unfair forms the basis OF
their: opposition. When signed by
theater proprietor it becomes virtually
contract binding him not to sell
tickets knowingly to others for the
purpose of resale. In the event OF
violation of the agreement revocation
of the license takes place automati-
cally.

Parallels Arabic Crisis
The situation as II exists TO-DAY was
described in official quarters as paral-
Icing the crisis which was caused by
the sinking of the Arabic close on Ger
maay's assurances in response to the
representations of the United States on
the destruction of the Lusitania.
While the American officials are
keeping their minds open until they
have all the facts in the Persia case
officially and know whether Americans
were endangered in the sinking OF the
Glengyle. the gravity of the situation
Is not minimized and the declaration of
Ba Zwiedinek, the Austrian charge,
that he was confident the final expla-
nation would be satisfactory has not
lessened the tension.
One new fact developed today in the
Persia case. The American consul at
Alexandria reported that the ship car
ried one 4.7-inch gun. but did not state
where the gun was mounted. This
may become a factor in the case. The
Hague convention. however, provides
that merchant ship may carry "A gun
mounted on her stern for purpose of
defense without being considered an
armed ship.
Guns Location Important.
The official view here is that the ques-
the Persia will depend entirely on
where it was placed. II mounted for
ward officials realized the Austrian
government could contend the Persia
was armed for destruction of subma- :
rines and had instructions to ram or
destroy the submersibles The dispo-
sition is not to assign the incident OF
the gun TO a place in consideration of
officials consider that the Austrian
submarine campaign in the Mediter-
rsnean has brought on just such a
crisis as did the German subma rine
campaign in the declared war zone
around the British Isles. Coming close
on the concilatory assurances in Aus
trias Ancona note. the continued sub
marine activity, principally around the
entrance to the Suez canal. has alarm
ed and amazed American officials. who
have grave apprehensions over the de-
velopments Of the next few days.
Secretary Lansing also said that some
action would be taken formally to no.
tfy Turkey and Bulgaria of the at
tttude of the United States toward sub
marine warfare, so that all the central
power belligerents operating in the
Mediterranean might be informed.
Depends on Nationality.
Mr. Lansing was asked today wha
the attitude of the State Department
would be IL investigation developed
that Austrian submarines in the Medi
terranean were commanded by Ger
man naval officers. The Secretary sale
the department was inclined to let thu
nationality of the vessel itself deter
milne the responsibility, taking tn,
view that submarine flying the Aus
