new Y0RK'S THEATER
MEN PROTEST INCREASE

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Members OF
the United Managers Protective Asso-
citation, which includes representa-
tives from every branch Of theatrical
endeavor, met yesterday afternoon in
the New York Theater Building. They
protested against the proposed in
crease of the thcater war tax from 10
per cent to 20 per cent.
Marc Klaw, president of the associ-
alton, presided. He said the time had
come for the theatrical interests to
take definite action. The bill increas-
ing the tax has passed the House, he
saidS and is ready for submission by
the Finance Committee to the Senate.
Personal Appeals.
A telegram was framed to be sent
to every prominent actor and actress
in the country. asking for a personal
appeal to the White House to halt the
passage of the bill.
Mr.. klaw said:
almost every other industry has
had Government help and considera-
tion during the war period, and it
looks as though we are being dis
eliminated against.
IF this proposed tax becomes a
law 1t will mean that every theater
patron will have to pay 20 per cent
on his ticket, and 1t will mean the
closing down Of one-night stand
shows, which will not be able to
bear the expense"
Supported Drives.
William A. Brady called attention
to the support the theaters had given
the Government during the liberty
loan and war savings stamp drives,
s well as the charitable work 1t had
done in helping the Red Cross. He
said the industry should now "re-
ceive some consideration at the hanus
Of the Government"
John N. Golden sent a cablegram to
Bernard NJ. Baruch, in Paris, asking
that he take the matter up with
President Wilson and have him COM

fort must be made to prevent the i'm
position OF the new tax rate and that
the theaters should start petitions pro-
testing against the tax.
This is the only branch Of Govern
ment revenue, on which IT Is proposed
to increase the tax for war purposes"
was telegraphed to the Cosmos man
ager. The theaters have done more
than any other one organization, not
official in character, to promote the
country's welfare in the war"
Collect Petitions.
Morris Gest, of the Century Thea
ter, New York, is receiving petitions
from theater patrons all over the
country, collected by various theater
managers, protesting against the pro-
posed increase in the tax.
The following letter has been sent
to chairmen OF the Senate and House
Committees in charge OF they bill:
Dear Sir-At a meeting Of the the
atrlcal mS-Iagers and exhibitors held
at the Chamber OF Commerce of
directed to write to you and your as
sociates relative to the proposed in
crease of admission taxes.
You are well aware OF the volun-
tary offering of stage and screen to
every branch OF our Government for
the purpose OF aiding to win the war
for the past four years. The selling
of bonds, United States stamps, Red
Cross work. community war work, re-
cruiting. and labor needs. We have
cheerfully given time, money, and loss
of revenue. The original tax was a
hardship. but this would be much
more so. especially in Washington,
where the burden would fall on SOL
diers, war workers, and Government
employees. We. therefore, ask for your
consideration and assistance not to
increase the tax for admissions.
Thanking you for your valued assist
ance in behalf Of the people of the
entire country and of the Capital, we
are.
Sincerely and loyalty,
"a JULIAN BRYLAWSKI,
Chairman.

-An the moving picture interests

"If Congress insists on pushing
through this unjust tax look for the
collapse OF many movie enterprises.
The whole thing Is rank injustice"

outrageous. Beginning tonight, q

Ject OF debate in every one Of Polls

Il think this additional tax is un-
fair and hardly called for by existing
conditions. This additional tax will
run up the total tax on moving pic

pictures as their chief relaxation will
feel this extra tax severely"
Lawrence Beatus, manager OF

BERLIN (via London), Jan. IL
Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg,
two Of the chief leaders OF the Sparta
cides, and both active in spreading
Bolshevik propaganda in Germany,
have been slain, it was officially an
nounced today.
Liebknecht and Nine. Luxembourg
were arrested at 43 Mannheimer-
strasse in Wilmersdorf, a suburb, at
$50 o'clock at night. They were
brought into Berlin to staff headquar-
ters. which are located in a hotel.
There their identity was established
and they were ordered to Moabit
prison temporarily. News of the ar
rests spread and a great crowd col
lected. the people forcing their way
into the hotel.
Liebknecht was rushed out through
a side door and was warned he would
be shot IL he tried to escape. He was
put into a motor car. The great
crowd impeded the departure OF the
motor, and one spectator dealt the
Spartacan a blow in the head, which
bled profusely. The machine finally
got under way. the driver taking a
roundabout course for protection.
Near Meueze Tiergarten the auto
mobile broke down, and an officer
asked Liebknecht IL he felt able to
walk to Charlottenburgerstr for
a cab. When the escort had gone fifty
yards, Liebknecht broke away, mean
while stabbing his guard with a knife
clasped in his right hand. He refused
to halt and several soldiers fired.

trial in Russia. The uneducatet
masses of that nation proved a fer
tile field for its growth, just as the
uneducated masses of Hindus and
Mohammedans are proving in India
THE story of the discovery or in.
vention of this new doctrine was
told to me some 10 years ago by
Jugut Singh, we'll educated Sikh
who had formerly been in the gov
eminent service. Sitting before the
fire in front of my tent in East Afri-
ca, which by the way has attracted
great many Sikh colonists, this
man told me how the Hindu occult
lists always cropping and delving into
the intricacies of metaphysics and
specializing on the manner in which
the human mind reacts to certain
suggestions, hit upon the pan for
control of national affairs by the
working classes.
"Of course, there is every reason
to doubt the sincerity of the aims
of these delivers into the occult, be-
cause the plan will be in absolute
conflict with the caste system, but
you must remember that industrial
ism has come to the front in India
of late, whereas the greater part OF
the population formerly was en-
gagged in agriculture. Scores Of big
industrial plants are now in opera
ton in Bombay, Cawnpore. CAL
cutta, Kerachi and even Lucknow
and many other cities.
The usual differences between
workers and employers are intensi-
fed in India by the intolerant and
oppressive attitude of the parsee
and other wealthy classes to the
workers. The old days when the
workmen found harmless amuse-
ment and entertainment in such
forms as the dances in the moon
light are gone forever. Nowadays
they have ready access to unlimited
supplies of liquor at low prices. A
few stiff drinks of arrack. rakki or
some of the other fiery liquids SOLD
in the drinking places are likely to
put the most peaceful laborer in the
proper state of mind for any form
of agitation.
"The latest development in the
Indian situation, the menacing at
titude of the Afgi.ans is due in part,
at least, to the same cause, boil
shevism. The late amir, Habibullah
Khan, was staunch friend of the
British government in India and
