COMPLETE TIEUP OF PLAYHOUSES
 IS THREATENED

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-A repett- ton of the nation wide stage strike of 1919 may result from the breach of relations between the Actors Equity association and the Produc- ing Managers association, which was precipitated today. The rup- ture was caused by the demand of the Actors Equity association that Lee and J. J. Shubert be expelled from the Producing Managers as- sociation for alleged violations of their agreement with the equity and discriminatory treatment against equity actors.
 Lee Shubert tonight character ized the complaint about the Shu- bert interests as silly and based on six dinky chorus girls"
 The Shubert interests employ more than 1000 actors, controlling about 75 per cent of the New York play houses and a like percentage throughout the country.

COURT INACT|ON RESPONSIBLE
 FOR CUBAN SITUATION --CROWDER

HAVANA. Jan. 13-Major General Enoch H. Crowder, special representa- tive of President Wilson Investigating conditions in Cuba, in a statement to- night after referring to the failure of the electoral board and courts to func- ton within the prescribed limit, de- clared:
 If these agencies continue to fail, Cuba in due course of time. will be confronted with ad interim provincial and national administrations, and after the first Monday in April next with a total paralysis of the legislative power"
 General Crowder until tonight has maintained absolute silence since his arrival here on the cruiser Minnesota week ago. His statement, which sets forth what has been accomplished thus far at the instance of the presi- dent" follows:
 Blares Cuban Judiciary
 As President Menocal has so fear lessly stated in his admirable letter to the central electoral board, the ur- gency of the present electoral situa- ton lies in the fact that already, through the failure of the electoral boards and courts to function within the prescribed time limit, we have to- day an ad interim or provisional
  of the municipal districts of Cuba.
 "If these agencies continue to fail Cuba in due course will be confronted with ad interim provincial and na- tional administrations and after the first Monday in April next, with a total paralysis of the legislative power, due to the fact that on that date one half of the seats of congress will become vacant.
 'The electoral boards have func- toned and posted their provisional re- turns. What Is lacking is the action of the Cuban judiciary on the con tested election eases. of which there are 0 great number, involving prac- ticallv all of the colleges of Oriente and MatanZas and a large number of the colleges of Santa Clara, including whole municipal districts and a small CT number of colleges in other prov inCcs.

German Students
 Establish Bureau
 To Assist Worthy
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-The central com mittee of the German student associa- ton today announced the establish ment of an economic bureau for student self-help. the primary purpose of which will be to guard against plutoc- ratization of university life, which is threatened "by certain political parties and various interests who are Subsi- dizing students for their own ends"
 The bureau will organize employ ment agencies for undergraduates, es- tablish national sickness and accident funds. arrange for advancing loans and establish a statistical bureau showing openings available for graduates.
 A circular letter sent out from the association's headquarters says the at tendance of the universities, which is approximately 50 per cent above that of pre-war days. must be curtailed "in the interest of German national econ omy as regulated by the treaty of Yer l sailles." It says this reduction must be effected, however, by other means than the exclusion of poor students.
