Mas Rei1Elardt to Pro-

By William c. Dreher
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, March 5.-German opera,
German plays and German motion pic
lures are to invade the United States
soon in an extensive campaign planned
by Benjamin Blumenthal. Through his
Berlin agent, S. Nachman, Blumenthal
has completed contract with Pro-
fessor Max Reinhardt, most famous of
all German theatrical managers, who
will go to New York to superintend
the production there of a. number of
recent Berlin successes. as we'll as a
program of revivals.
Mr.. Blumenthal also plans to take
a number of German and Austrian
composers, including Leo Fall, Oscar
Strauss and Franz Lehar to America,
and galaxy of famous German con-
ductors with them.
One of the most elaborate of Mr..
Blumenthal's plans for the revival of
German drama and music in America
is to take over an entire opera COM
pany of first-class reputation, to play
q season of German opera in the larger
cities.
The motion picture end OF the cam
paign is even more elaborate. 1t ia
planned to send German and Austrian
films, which have been specially pro-
duced on large scale. not only to
America, but to England, Canada and
Australia as we'll.

Chase Gen, Thief
Negro Sn,ashes Windo,u
With Brick; Is Caught
With Ring in Pocket

A negro who had wrapped a red
bandanna around a brick flung the
missile through a jewelry window at
1853 West 125th Street at 8 o'clock last
night. Then he thrust in his hand
and seized several >rings.
Herbert S. Seigison, proprietor of
the store, came running out flourish
ing revolver and the negro fed, run
ming toward Seventh Avenue, about $50
feet away. 1t was just about theater
time and many persons were on the
street. Hundreds took up the chase.
Louis Reiner joined the hue and
head off the fugitive at Seventh Ave-
nue., where Traffic Patrolman Meenagh
arrested him. The prisoner, who was
locked up at the West 123d Street
Harris, of 144 West 144th Street, for
merly a clerk in the Postoffice.
According to the police diamond
ring valued at 5000 and still affixed to
a card was found in his pocket, as
we'll as two similar but empty cards,
each marked $500.
Seigison said that about $4,000
worth of rings were missing from his
window and until late at night a
crowd that was needless of the down
pour helped Mr.. Seigison hunt for the
missing jewelry on sidewalks and in
cutters.
According to the police, the negro
not only admitted the theft, but said
he had been carrying the brick around
in his handkerchief for two days, wait
ing for an opportunity to smash shop
window and steal something. The
trouble was, the police say he told
them. too many people used 125th

LONDON, March 5-Reports from
Portugal by way of Spain to-day are
that there have been serious disorders
in Lisbon and Oporto as the result
of the strike of railway men and
postal workers.
According to the dispatches, riots in
the market places in Lisbon over the
shortage of food and the high prices
brought call for troops to assist the
police. Many of the strikers were
killed when they clashed with the
troops, the advices add, and much
Property damage resulted.
The Portuguese Minister here denied
report that Bolshevik government
had been established in his country.
All telephone and telegraph wires be-
tween Portugal and the outside world
have been cut and no news has come
out of the country IN three days ex-
cept that brought by few travellers.
One reason given for the uprising is
the recent decision of the Premier to
close all gambling saloons. The ex-
planation offered in Portuguese circles
here, however, is that the Premier de-
cided on this step to minimize the
dangers from an outbreak which was
regarded as imminent

Seven Pastors
Accuse "Dry"
League Chief
Two Directors Are Ready
to Support Charges of
Freeman Against Ander-
son, Asserts Cuvillier
From a Star Correspondsnt

ALBANY, March 5.-Seven ministers
of the gospel, two Of them directors
Of the Anti-Saloon League, have offered
to testify against William H. Anderson,
state superintendent of the league, be-
fore the Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee, according to Assemblyman
Louis A. Cuvillier.
"These clergymen," said Cuvillier to-
day, Twill corroborate much of the
testimony that the Rev. William H.
Freeman has offered to give. We do
not intend to make public the names
of these ministers until we have their
formal statements before U.S."
Some of these ministers have been in
conference to-day with members of the
Judiciary Committee, while others have
written of their willingness to testify.
Their testimony, it is said, will go far
toward proving the charge made by the
Rev. Mr.. Freeman that the Anti-Saloon
League was interested in prohibition
only as means of government OF
private conduct by coercion"
Cuvillier charges that there is a
SUBTLE, underground attempt being
made by certain legislators to sup
press the Investigation, which was
ordered by the Assembly Monday night
by vote Of 81 to So.
but I'm not worrying" said Cuvil-
her. "They will have to 60 through
with it,"
Fear Anderson's Testimony
One of the reasons advanced for the
attempt to suppress the investiga-
tlon is fear that Anderson may testify
to the report in circulation a year ago
that two legislators during the last
session received $4,000 each in the
shape Of retainers from liquor men.
Both men have introduced "wet" legis-
lation.
Cuvillier declared that the investi-
cation would reveal that the league
in addition to coercing legislators
and other agents of the government
existed largely for the purpose of
paying fat salaries to the leaders in
the movement. He said he was as
sured of large number of witnesses
to substantiate the charge made by
the Rev. Mr.. Freeman--a Presbyterian
minister of Carlisle, Schoharie
County, and former worker for the
league-that the league hoodwinked
devout church members.
1t is believed the investigation of the
league and it's officers will not get
under way before the end of the month,
as Assemblyman Louis M. Martin, chair
man of Judiciary Committee, has an
nounced that the Anti-Saloon League
inquiry will not be taken up until the
Socialist trial is ended. But this does
not mean that intended witnesses for
