The ReUieU' of
The Ri0LtO
fRX Dixie Hinesl

| NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The long
expected announcement from the of
fees of the Messrs. Shubert, in re
vaudeville ct al, has come, and now
the entire theatrical world, includ-
ing that vast group of vaudeville pat
rons, awaits the next move. II brief,
the Shubert's announce the incorpo-
ration of a $20,000,000 company to OPP
pose the present vaudeville syndicate.
The strength of the opposition lies
in their control of theatres in impor-
tant cities in the United States and
Canada, at present devoted to dra-
matte plays and motion pictures. The
incorporators, with the Messrs. Shu-
bert indicates that the plan is a.
far rea ching one. The Dupont money
is said to play an important part in
view of the fact that Edward J.
Bowes, manager Of the Capitol thea =
tire, is named. The Capitol is one of
the most important moving picture
theatres in America, and Dupont Is
said to be the financial hacker Frank
J. Godsol, prominent in the Goldwyn
company, also a Dupont subsidiary
is also interested, and others men,
toned are men of affairs and pron1i-
nent in their world of endeavor The
plans announce the imm ediate release
of at least fifteen or twenty theatres
in important cities east of Chicago
and st. Louis, with a gradual increase
in the vaudeville chain when the
field is open. 1t is no flash in the
pan, this Shubert proposition, and the
vaudeville, motion picture and dra-
matte world is keen1y interested. It
means a bitter fight for supremacy,
even more bitter than the fight ten
years ago when Klaw & Erlanger and
other legitimate producers fought II
out with the Keith interests. A truce
was declared at the time by the Keith
people paying to the legitimate man
ayers a large sum of money for all
their rights, contracts and leases, with
the provision that the legitimate man
ayers would not re-enter the vaude-
vile field for at least ten years. This
limit expired a couple Of years ago,
which means that the field is free
and clear for a fight of magnitude,
and from all appearances that is the
sort OF fight this is TO be. 1t is not
improbable that vaudeville and mo-
ton pictures will be closely linked
up on the prospective programs.
Another important contender in
matters artistic is the Palafs des Art
bureau formed by combination
headed by ivan Bankoff, the Russian
dancer. This bureau will conduct i'm
portant musical and dramatic event.
It's first stars are Lydia Lipkowskf.

PRICE REDUCTIONS
TO START BUILDING
Cornell Wood Board Has Been Re-
duced So per 1000 Square Feet.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Cornell
Wood Products company, of Chicago,
one of the largest wall board manu-
facturers in the world has taken the
lead in acting on the resolution adopt
ed by the National Building Materials
conference, calling for substantial re-
auctions in the cost of building mate
rails, to meet the necessity of a ma
housing shortage.
The Cornell Wood Products COM
pany has just announced a second re
duction of $500 per 1000 square fete,
making total reduction of $500 per
1000 square feet in the price of Cor
nell panels in 46 days.
In a recent interview John r. Buck
ley, sales manager, said:
The lowering of prices on Cornell
wood board should clearly indicate the
desire on the part of our company to
cooperate closely with the national
building materials manufacturers and
the building and lumber trades as well
to bring about a much needed revival
in construction work this spring. The
shortage of houses is becoming par
ticularly acute, and everything posi-
bic should be done to relieve the sit
uation.
The erection of our new mill at
Cornell, Wisconsin, which has increas
ed our production over rs per cent,
will enable US TO serve the trade
promptly, and keep step with the in
creased demand for wall board that
will naturally result from this general
price reduction"

After the liberation of Serbia from
the Austrians in October, 1918, King
Peter returned to Belgrade with his
army and entered. actively into the
reorganization and reconstruction Of
his shattered country. Failing health
however, compelled him soon after to
seek retirement to private life. The
affairs Of state and court were turned
over to his son, Prince Alexander, who
became prince regent Of the new state
Of Jugoslavia.
Early in 1919, the king was removed
to a quiet retreat near Athens, Greece,
where he lived for year or more IN
a small six-room house overlooking
the Bay of Phaleron,
To meet his long cherished wish
that he might die on his native soil.

brought the invalid king back to his
beloved Belgrade. He avoided society
and kept aloof from all court and pub
lie functions.

immediate attention and all cases are
disposed OF as rapidly as they are

RUSSIAN PEASANTS
SLOW TO SUBMIT
Lenine Expects Them to Resist Die
tatorship for 40 Years.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-Nikolai Lenine
bolshevist premier of Russia, expects
the Russian peasants to continue their
resistance against the dictatorship of
the proletariat for 40 years but says
the communists will continue that
government until they submit, &C
cording to the delegates Of the Span
ish socialist party who have just re-
turned from Moscow,
The Spaniards went to Russia to
present statement of the conditions
under which their party would affili-
ate with the third internationale. On
their return they told a representa-
tive of the Times about their inter-
view with the bolshevist premier.
Asked by Senior de los Rios and
Senior Anguiano. who made the trip
to the soviet capital, when the soviet
dictatorship would be replaced by a
regime of freedom, Premier Lenine
said:
I'VE have never spoken of liberty.
We are exercising the dictatorship of
the proletariat In the name of the mi
nority because the peasant class in
Russia is not yet with us. We shall
continue to exercise the dictatorship
until they submit 1 estimate the die

tatorship will last about 40 years"
Senior de los Rios and Senior Angul-
ano, who disagree as to the expedi-
ency of adopting the dictatorship of
the proletariat idea, spent two months
in Russia. While both were disap-
pointed by conditions there. they were
full of admiration for the possibilities
OF the Russian revolution Their re-
port will be presented at a Spanish
national socialist congress April 9,
when the question OF affiliation with
Moscow will be decided.
The Spanish delegates presented the
three objections of the Spanish social
lists TO Lenine's twenty-one points
terms of admission to the third inter-
nationally and brought back a stir
ring appeal from the executive com
mittee of the internationale to the
Spanish proletariat to disregard the
hesitation of their chiefs and give
adherence to the communist body.

June 2s, 1920, and an appeal was ar
gued in the U. S. supreme court on
January It'll.
The volume OF important adJunica-
lions In the court Of claims during the
past fiscal year" says the attorney
general, IF equalled. has certainly
never been exceeded. Since the origi-
nal act OF February "a, 1855, providing
a forum in which citizens of the Uni
ted States might have their claims
against the government adjudicated,
the duties of the court OF claims have
steadily increased under legislation
enacted from time to time enlaT ging
its scope, until today it is recognized
that its importance is not exceeded
by any other tribunal. Every conceiv-
able issue between the citizens and
their sovereign founded upon contract,
express or implied is presented in
that court, and in addition. under the
so called Dent act of March 2, 1912
agreements entered into during the
war of an informal nature may be
brought to the court of claims for
award of fair and just compensation.
The small percentage of the decisions
of the court of claims reversed by the
supreme court of the United States
testifies to the character of the de-
cisions rendered"
Among the claims alredy filed in the
court are: $60,O0o.OOO for shipping:
$20,0o0,o00 for railroad requisition;
S26,000000 for patent infringement:
S2,200,000 for aircraft engines and
