JUDGE ORDERS
PROSECUTION OF
ELEVATOR men
Hanley Claims Combination
Was Formed by Manag-
ers to Cut Prices.

Mandan, N. D.. March 31.-Judge
J. M. Hanley issued sweeping order
in case that will be watched thru
out the state, when he ordered States
Attorney John L. Cass of Mercer
county to prosecute the managers Of
every grain elevator in Mercer coun-
ty..
Evidence brought out during the
trial Of a case involving q farmers
elevator company proved that the
stock of the company presumed to
have been held by many farmers was
in reality owned by three men.
Evidence also tended to show that
this company paid lower prices for
grain than elevators in other towns.
However when farmers drove from
Stanton to Beulah to market their
grain, prices were at the same fig
ures as the Stanton elevator.
Charging that this is sufficient
ground to bring action, Judge j. M.
Hanley ordered the states attorney
to bring suit against practically every
elevator in Mercer county on the
charge of the violation Of the North
Dakota differentiation or trust
law. which provides for the prosecu-
ton of persons who form combina-
tions for the restraint Of trade.

THE CONFUSION OF
TONGUES
(From the Chicago News.)

Alien speech has erected barrier
of suspicion between peoples. and sus-
picion begets fear and fear begets
hate. But the world Of late appears
dimly to discern that alien speech is
less a menace than is alien thought,
and IL this discovery is pushed the
solution Of world problems will be
greatly simplif1ed.
When it is definitely disclosed to
the masses that an autocrat is not a
Russian or a Prussian, not an Eng
lishman or a Turk, but an enemy to
the human race. and that true dem
ocrat is citizen Of the world and
Of no one country. his mission being
ito do good" the brotherhood Of man
will be almost established.
There will be then q new alignment
Of forces. Tho German democrat will
fear the Russian democrat far less
than he fears the, German autocrat.

true. The British democrat will war

the play Osbourne wrote under date of
September l2 from Gilroy. Cal, regret,ng
his inability to leave his little mountain
ranch:
An interesting fact in regard to Treas
ure Island Is that 1t was the turning point
in r. L. SIS literary life. Up to that time
his books, though greatly praised by crit
les, never sold beyond the first edition of
700 or 500 copies. Indeed three of them
were so little valued by their publisher that
for lump sum Of $3.50 Stevenson bought
back the copyrights of 'Virginibus Pueris-
que, Travels with a Donkey and the
Inland Noyage'-books that subsequently
earned tens of thousands. As a boy used
often to ask him why he did not write
something interesting | remember 1t be-
ing thought quite a joke-my inability to
read his books.
AS most people know. Treasure Island
was directly inspired by a small map l
drew a boy. When the map was finished
II. l.. s. happened to lean over my shoulder
and added. tremendously to my delight and
not a little TO his own, the crosses for
buried treasure and the delCousy romantic
names now so well known. Then he said
enthusiastically: m have to write a story
all about il And said Yes, something
really interest ng-who IL was that buried
the treasure and why the little island was
called Skeleton Island-and not like your
other books And he said: oh, no
nothing SO stupid or tiresome. but full Of
pirates and buried treasure and the things
everybody likes"
These were not the exact words but
I can remember the gist Of that conver-
sation as though II were yesterday, and
Stevensons eager. manting. whimsical
face The next day | was electrified to
have the first chapter read aloud to me
the first chapter of my book. The 9TH
ers followed in almost daily succession.
That the book was marketable or had any
future outside the family circle did not
occur to r. l.. S. until considerable time
afterward Yet this was the beginning of
his success. the actual turning point in his
literary life"

1t was about ten years ago that a pa

O. He was very tall, very blond and pale
and dlsconsolate, and an absolute stranger
in the big city. He had saved up a few
dollars after several years OF hard work
as a reporter on the Leader, one of the

he had Immediately invested in hall bed

and made four carbon copies of a play
which he had brought with him, and which
he fondly hoped would create sensation
and bring him fame and fortune. After
making four carbon copies of the play he
sent it to four managers at once. william
A. Brady, one of the managers who re-
ceived it, wired his acceptance. This play
was Clothes" and Brady wanted it for
his wife. Grace George. The author was
Avery Hopwood.
oh, yes these things happen. and this in
cident can be verified by Hopwood himself
He is still tall. but not quite SO thin and
no longer pathetic. Clothes" made money
for everybody connected with it. even the
author. He kept on writing plays. some
of them successes and some of them not
but he struck, all things considered. good

in collaboration, was the first of the year

THE two questions most frequently put
L to me are:
win the movies last?
VIII the speaking stage come back to
its own?
There seems to be a haunting doubt re-
gardtrg the permanency OF the motion pic
lures perpetually hitched to a lingering.
chimercal hope for the speaking stage.
Both are measurably erroneous ~
The pictures will last for as great a dis
tance OF time as present vision can cover,
and the speaking stage will come back only
in the very large cities.
New York. Philadelphia. Boston and Chi
cago are about all" for the speaking
drama, and the number two, three and
four companies are done for and might az
well be forgotten. W.
This being the case, II is not much of an
object to a manager to take the long
chances that go with making a hrst-class
production. Pretty much everybody knows
that three-quarters Of the profits of a big
success have always been derived from
| the road" Now that there is no road"
| the percentage against the producing man.
| agei is increased tremendously.
He no longer merely CANDLES, but plays
| against a brace game
| There are various reasons for this situa-
| ton. In the first place, chickens teeth
| are dense crowd compared with good
| plays. In the second, nobody can hold an
original cast Of really desirable actors and
actresses together, and no part Of the coun-
| try will stand for substitutes. Then, too.
| a production that has been banged around
| on the railroads for little while becomes
| rusty. and the leading lady's gowns after
! being packed and unpacked and dragged
| over dirty stages for any length Of time
| inevitably lose their freshness
This is where the motion pictures come
| in They always have the original cast,
the scenery IL ever spick and span and
the dresses just from the modistes atelier
The temptation to a producing manager
to 20 into the movies is strong. He may
work for long time and spend ton OF
money on a stage production. and sell it.
perhaps. II he puts the same care, energy
and producing reputation, with little more
cash investment into a picture ne can
sell it sure.
