SHUBERTSOPEN
THEATER WAR
AnnounceWithdrawal
From Trust—-Will
Be Bitter.'
New York, April 9,—The opening gun
of what theatrical managers say will
be the greatest theatrical war ever
known waa dred last night wh£n I.ee
Shubert announced that ha had with
drawn from the Theatrical Managers'
Association and with hla brother, Jake,
and Max Anderson, would* form an ln-
depetfdent organization.
With the severing of syndlcste ties
rival today of David L. Erlanger froi
Europe action would be taken to either
make the breach complete or bring the
Shuberta to terms.
The coming theatrical war Is the re
sult of activity on the part of the Shu
berta In building and leasing additional
playhouses. They have become the
moat powerful rival of the syndicate
and could they get the backing of sev
eral Independent managers like David
Belasco,'Harrison Grey Fisks, Walter
Lawrence and James K. Hackett, they
might
would present a front that
danger the life of the syndicate.
Primary
Asheville, N. C., April 9.—In the sec
ond Democratic primary. P. C. Cocke
defeated 8. G. Bernard for police Jus
tice, their votes being 417 and 381, re
spectively. Police Justice was the only
office for which there waa not a nomi
nation at the' first primary.
on Everything Ex
cept Oil.
Washington, April 9/—Unless thero Is
a decided break In the ranks of the reg
ulars, the Payne tariff bill, which has
been before the house since March 17,
will pass that body this evening sub
stantially aa reported from the ways
and means committee, by a safe ma
jority.
The final vote on the passage of the
bill is not expected before 6 o'clock at
least, because of the separata votes on
lumber, hides, oil, barley, steel wire and
the motion to be mado by Minority
Leader Champ Clark to recommit the
bill with Instructions. The Indications
are that, with the exception of the vote
on oil, the ways and means committee
will win out. The committee, It will be
recalled, waa defeated on the oil
amqndment and tha sentiment In the
house Is so strong against the Standard
Oil Company, that It Is believed the
Norris amendment, making the duty on
petroleum 1 per cent ad valorem, will
be adopted by a big vote.
The amendment to place rough lum
ber on the free list has many advocates
and there Is a small chance that It may
be ndopted.
All tho committee amendments of
fered yesterday were carried and the
substitute for section 8—the maximum
and minimum tariff—and the drawback
revision, which were presented In the
ouse last evening, will probably be
adopted. These two amendments slm-
jly make clear the language contained
n the sections as originally reported.
The new drawback provision limits the
time for the drawback to one year. In
stead of three-years, and virtually re
moves the drawback on grain.

That Is the View Held by
Eastern Railroad
Official.
Baltimore, April 9.—J. B. Nell, fourth
vice-president and treasurer of the Bal
timore and Ohio, has just returned
fr6m an extended trip thru the South.
"The Industrial situation In the South
Js good and Is advancing; but It Is
greatly, behind similar enterprises In
the North,” he said. "The character id
labor may have something to do with
this condition. The black labor Is not
all that Is desired, and'liaa not yet been
brought to the degre of skill possessed
by the white labor In other sections.
The same Is true In the farming sec
tions. Best results are not always pro
duced. because of the uncertelnty of
those on whom depends the work of
cultivation.”
