u. S. LIKELY TO ACT
WITH BRITAIN IN
SHANGHAI THREAT

including that of the treaty port of
Shanghai.
Such an act on the part of Japan
would have been impossible few years
ago, when the European powers and the
United States acted jointly every time
there was a crisis in the Far East. To-
day common action of all the white
powers seems impossible, because their
interests are no longer similar.
France Has Special Interests.
France has her special interests in
China, which are more or less similar
with those of Japan. Germany Is no
longer in a position to take any mill
tary action anywhere, and Italy has
only small force and comparatively
small interests in the Far East. But
the interests of the British Empire and
of the United States there are similar
The interests of Australia and Canada
are as vital regarding the policy of the
open door as those of the United States.
Today Great Britain, which Is en-
deavoring to reorganize the empire on
the basis of a closer association with
her two most important dominions. will
have to act If Canada and Australia
judge that their paramount interests
are likely to be jeopardized.
Consequently the governments OF the
United States and the British Empire
are drawn together by the high-handed
methods of the Japanese government.
Although no common action has been
decided between the governments OF the
two countries, it is understood conver-
sations are being carried out in view Of
the possibility Of acting together.

THEATER MEASURE
PASSED IN SENATE
Bill Prohibiting Misrepresentation
of Seating Accommodations
Goes to House.

The Senate this afternoon passed the
Carey bill to prohibit nisrepresenta-
ton as to seating accommodations by
theaters in the District of Columbia.
The measure went through without de-
bate, and now goes to the House, which
has not considered it.
The bill declares that it shall be un-
lawful in the District of Columbia for
any person engaged in the management
or operation of theater to knowingly
misinform or mislead prospective pa
irons concerning the availability of
seats. 1t also provides that when all
seats are occupied the manager or op-
orator shall display near each ticket
window a sign giving notice that no
seats are available.
Where there is more than one HooI'
to a theater, the signs would indicate
on which floor the seats are all taken.
In theaters In which the seating ca
paclty Is 1000 or more, a public an
nouncement shall be made in the lobby
regarding the seating situation at least
once every 5 minutes during the time
that all seats are occupied.
Before reporting the bill to the Senate
the District Committee struck out the
provision which would have prevented a
theater from selling more tickets for
any performance than there are seats
available. Discussing this, the report
accompanying the bill stated:
The subcommittee recognized the
fact that motion picture theaters have a
continuance performance policy, so that
patrons may leave the theater at any
time This policy makes for constant
change In seating accommodations, and
many treater patrons prefer to stand in
the theater or the lobby with the hope
of thus getting a desirable seat"
The bill as amended Is intended to
assure prospective patrons Of accurate
information as to whether they win
have to wait for seats.

Trotsky, former Russian Soviet leader
now exiled from Russia and living IN
Istanbul, Turkey
This movement is not the big one"
the minister said, referring to the
Syndicalist and Communist general
strike which was slated to occur in
Spain yesterday, but which appeared
only in few places. The big move
ment is planned for February, but the
government is prepared to swamp it
with stern measures"
Would Abandon Strike.
Syndicalist leaders at Malaga, one of
the places where troubles did occur yes
terday, were reported to be preparing
today to publish note advising their
followers to abandon the strike
The cabinet met last night to discuss
the state Of the public order and ended
by agreeing that the situation was well
under control.
Seville dispatches reported an attempt
to assassinate the provincial governor
as he passed through a downtown street
on a tour of inspection.
The shot came from the roof OF
nearby building, police thought, but the
bullet went wild. The governor went
ahead with his tour.
The inhabitants spent panickv
night, however. Most people remained
indoors and there was scattered firing
throughout the city, as Extremist snip
ers and civic guards exchanged shots.
Warned Back on Jobs.
Gov. Sol, fearing that the situation
was growing worse, issued a manifesto
warning all municipal workers that
If they did not return to their Jobs to-
day they would be discharged
An unconfrmed report from the

trict said today two civil guards and

along a street in an automobile. He
returned the fire.
A group of people at San Sebastian

solution of the Jesuit order.
Exodus Under Way.

leadership chicle was brought into use
as the basic ingredient of the product,
the packages were standardized and
machinery was substituted for manual

Within 10 years after Wrigley began
the manufacture and promotion OF
chewing gum, what had been a bad
habit had become general custom.
Advertised on Big Scale.
Premium helped him popularize
chewing gum, and he gave away tons
throughout the country to help poten-
tial customers acquire the gum-chewing
habit He advertised on big scale.
When he invaded other countries he
used the same tactics.
Twenty-Five years after he had en-
barked In the business, the public was
paying $30000,000 year for his prod

brands upon which he had staked his
business success.
Selling his chewing gum on the road
during his early Chicago career, Wrig-
ley was twitted about his City of Chi
cago by a rival salesman who re-
marked that the town did not even own
it's own ball club-the Chicago National
League team, controlled by Cincinnati
interests.
The jest struck home, for base ball
was Wrigley's hobby, and the whim
born then was gratified 25 years later
when Wrigley and several associates
acquired the club from the Cincinnati
men who still owned 1t. A few years
later he obtained sole control of the
club and added to his base ball hold
ings the Los Angeles team of the Pa
cific Coast League.
Purchased Catalina Island.
His third major business venture was
the purchase in 1919 of Catalina Is
land, off the California Coast, which
he converted not only into popular
Summer resort, but into silver, lead
and zinc mining properties which pyra-
mided his fortune.

BASE BALL ONLY A HOBBY.
Owner Of Cubs Never Received Cent Of
Clubs Profits.

CHICAGO, January 26 LP-BaSe
ball has lost not only one Of its greatest
leaders but one of its greatest spenders
in the death Of william Wrigley tr., at
Phoenix, Ariz., today.
Taking up the national pastime as
hobby, Wrigley spent millions to give
Chicago a pennant- winning team and
always insisted he never realized cent
from his interests in the club, one of
the best money earners in all base ball
history.
Il bought the Cubs not only because
l love base ball but because / once was
ioshed about a large city like Chicago
having such poor ball clubs" he once
said In telling Of his interest in the
game. When I was on the road SELL
ing soap, years ago, the other statesmen
used to kid me about Chicago's weak
clubs and I resolved to buy the Cubs.
Spent s6,ooo.Oo on Team.
Altogether I think I have spent
S6,O00000 or more in building up my
team, but have never taken a nickel
Of the profits. 1t is purely hobby for
me, and as long as can afford such
an expensive hobby and give the fans
a good ball game than to attend
stockholders meeting and listen to
bumper reports, and I guess I play
hockey regularly to go out to Wrigley
Field"
Wrigley's death, which came as a dis
tinct shock to base ball and to Chicago's
civic leaders, who regarded him as one
of the stanchest pillars in this citys
civic life, removed from base ball Chi

1.-The passing of William Wrigley was
