BERLIN WARNS
ALLIES OF Peril
Populace Inhamed Against
Military Control
Officials.

Berlin.-Germany accepts, uncondl-
tionally, the allied demand for thor
ough inspection of her alleged mill
tary preparations for war OF
revenge, but by inference puts the
responsibility for anything that hap
pens to the military control off,
Gals in Germany on the allies them
selves.
This is the high spot in the German
note of acceptance. The note was dis
patched to Paris June %, on the tenth
anniversary Of the murder Of the Aus
trian archduke at Serajeyo. which
started the World war.
The note first answers the charge
that German militarism is reyiving;
points out the terrific load which the
measure imposes on the German
government; and then expresses Ger
many's wishes regarding the meth
DDS of the control officers.
These wishes are that the military
control officers be instructed to take
into account the infiamed popular SEN
timent against them in Germany, and
avoid any public provocation.
The note expresses the expectation
that this will really be the last "in-
spection," and that, after it, the whole
disarmament and security question be
turned over to the League of Nations.

AMBITIOUS SCHEME
FOR RAIL MERGER
Missouri Pacific Said to Plan
Big Combination.

New York.-Perhaps the most am
bilious scheme of railroad consolida-
ton ever attempted is now being
planned by the Missouri Pacific rail-
road, according to well-informed rail
executives.
The plan calls for the creation of a
single system, by ownership control
or utilization of existing lines, that will
stretch from Chicago, through St.
Louis and Kansas City, to San Fran
cisco on the Pacific coast, with net
work of lines throughout the states
of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ar
kansas, Texas and Louisiana.
Assuming the Missouri Pacific man
agement will be successful in its at
tempt, the sentire system, with total
mileage of some 1900 miles, will be
larger than any of the existing sys-
TENS in the country.
In 1923 the combined gross revenues
of the roads mentioned totaled $27S,-
093, 100, one-fourth of the total area
of the United States.

BEGINS WAR ON
OIL COMPANIES
Attorney General Charges
Violation of Anti
Trust Law.

Washington. Additional legal pro-
ceedings directed at leading oil COM
panies are in prospect, but no Grim
inal action is in contemplation, 1t was
stated at the Department Of Justice.
Attorney General Stone regards the
suit started in the Chicago Federal
court, dealing with the pooling of pat
ent rights for Cracking processes,
as hitting at only one phase OF the
gasoline situation.
Mr.. Stone expects to confer within
the next week or two with commit
tee of attorneys general of various
interested states.
The question of whether the dlsso-
luton of the Standard Oil company,
as provided by court decree, has been
completely carried out will be one OF
the matters under consideration.
Chicago.-A petition in equity filed
here by direction of Attorney General
Stone charges fifty of the most i'm
portant oil companies in the Unlted
States with violation of the Sherman
antitrust law and prays for an inJune-
ton to restrain the companies from
further violations.
The complaint was forwarded by
the attorney general to United States
District Attorney Edwin Olson, who
filed it in the Federal District court.
The primary defendants named are
the Standard Oil Companies of Indi-
ana and New Jersey, the Standard
Development company, the Texas
company and the Gasoline Products
company.
Attorney General Stone charges that
the companies have combined to con-
troll production of gasoline by pooling
of patent rights in violation of the
antitrust law.
In substance the complaint sets
forth that the defendants are utilizing
processes for cracking" gasoline, thus
greatly increasing the output from a
given quantity of stock The bill al
leges that the Cracking process has
been known for the last thirty years
and that the original patents covering
the invention have long since expired.
In spite of this, it is charged, the de-
PENDANTS have pooled patents on unim-
portant improvements and thus have
been enabled to "extort huge sums
from the manufacturers of gasoline in
the guise of royalties and by means of
certain restrictive covenants con-
tanned in license agreements"

This variety of dancing necessarily requires a versatile com pany of dancers and Ross and Fay have done so for their splendid act. It is not all dancing, however, as there is mirth and melody thrown in for good measure. Other acts in- dude Nevins and Gordon in Horse ScnSc,' clever skit which offers comedy, songs and dances with a real novelty in building a horse upon the stage. Howard Nichols is called The Ace of Hoops," and has hoop rolling and juggling act that has no equal today in vaudeville.
 Russell and Marconi offer Little Bits of Big Hits" a musical comedy skit in which these two men have taken a mammoth amount of musi- cal ability and turned it into novel channels. Instead of offering straight musical act of whichc they are very capable of doing the play is turned into an oddity. Little Bits of Big Hits is mostly for fun but there is a bit of real music too.
