ALL MUST BOW TO THEM Conspiracy to Restrain Trade Charged Against Klaw, Erlanger and Others Playwrights, Man agers and Actors Coerced. NEW YORK. Jan. 31. The grand Jury today returned an indictment against the so-called theatrical, trust, charging con spiracy In restraint of trade. It was handed up to Judge Foster in the Court of General Sessions today. The members of the alleged trust affect-' ed by the indictment are Abraham Er langer. Mark Klaw. Samuel F. Nixon, J. Fred Zimmerman, Charles Frohman and Al Hayman. Messrs. Frohman and Hayman are now in Europe. Methods of the Trust. The indictment sets forth in detail the acts of the so-called trust and its efforts to prevent certain meatricai enterprises from playing in any other than independ ent theaters. Some of the witnesses be fore the grand jury testified that in cer tain cases the combination compelled them to make contracts with the trust to do the booking of plays, charging 33 1-3 per cent of the net receipts for the book ing. The indictment alleges that the trust controls more than 500 of the prominent theaters In the country. As an instance of the alleged evil of the trust, the case of Sarali Bernhardt was cited in the indictment. When she came to this country in 1905, it was alleged, she was forced to play in independent houses through the country, and insome cities where she could not get the houses she was forced to play under tents. At that time she said, according to the in dictment, that, if necesary. she gladly would come to this country and prosecute the men who forced her to this incon venience. May Irwin is alleged also to have suffered by reason of the combina tion of theatrical managers. Abraham Erlanger and Marc Klaw ap peared in court and were admitted to Ua.il In tl0 each. Pleading to the indictments was put over for one week. Nixon and Zimmer man are said to be in Philadelphia. Nature of .Conspiracy. The District Attorney's office tonight gave out a Btatement reading: "The grand jury today filed an indict ment in Part 1 of General Sessions, beforis Judge Foster, charging Marc Klaw and Abraham L. Erlanger, composing the firm of "Klaw & Erlanger, with the crime of conspiracy. The charge is that they and others conspired to monopolize the the atrical business, both as to ownership of theaters and as to the production of the attractions. The conspiracy is in the form of a written agreement, entered into in 1896 and 1900, whereby the conspirators pooled all their theaters and attractions and divided the profits of business, where by they agreed not to allow any theatri cal attraction to be exhibited in any of their theaters unless the owner of the at traction would agree to play that attrac tion only in the theaters controlled by the conspirators. Coerced Whole Show Business. "They also agreed that they would not allow any of their attractions to play in any theaters other than they controlled, and they also coerced actors and play wrights and owners of attraction? to play such attractions exclusively in theaters controlled by the conspirators, and they refused to allow any of their attractions to play in any theaters other than those which they controlled unless the owner of the attraction would enter into a con tract to supply such attraction exclusively in their theaters, and they refused to send attractions to theaters unless the owner of such theaters would make a contract with them to give them the ex clusive control of the bookings of the theater." The statement relates the Bernhardt in cident' and concludes: - "They have been enabled to crush any owner of any attraction that they did not like or any owner of a theater that would not comply with their demands. They can crush the owner of an attraction by refusing to allow his attraction to be played in their theaters, and. controlling, as they, do, five-sixths of the best thea ers, no owner of an attraction can prof itably combat them. In the same way, they have been enabled to crush compe tition by refusing, to send them attrac tions." Trust Kings Cry Malice. The following statement was Issued by Al Hayman and Klaw & Erlanger: We were not surprised at this indictment, as it has been Btreet and table talk for over a year. The malice and motives which In spired It are tales for another telling and will be subject of wonderment to the Ini tiated. If any one doubts the demoralization of the present District Attorney's office, he need only notice the freedom with which grand Jury proceedings were published daily. Certainly the witnesses and grand jurors themselves would not talk about what happened In the grand Jury room. Every business institution which develops to large proportions Is in danger of being denominated a trust, and an Indictment for being a member of a trust seems to be the badge of success pinned on successful busi ness men by their unsuccessful competitors. It will not be long in this fair land before every successful business man will be indict ed for being a member of a trust. The stig ma which used to go with an indictment has been entirely eliminated by proceedings such 4 these. BAY STATE GAS ROW SETTLED Rogers Pays Receiver $1,500,000 to Withdraw Suits. BOSTON, Jan. 31.

ABATE CHILD LABOR EVIL ROOSEVELT SAYS NATION' MUST ACT IP STATES DON'T. VSays Outcry Against Federal Inter ference Comes From Those Who Benefit by Abuses. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. A letter from President Roosevelt to Mrs. Maud Nathan, president of the Consumers League, was read at the meeting of the league in this city today. The Presi dent wrote that, if state authorities did not do their duty in matters of so vital importance as child labor, there was no choice except for the National Govern ment to interfere. The letter in part fol lows: ' "You are doing a work that should ap peal peculiarly to every good citizen, for those you befriend are greatly in need of friends and are not powerful enough to stand up for themselves. I am par ticularly interested in your efforts to improve conditions under which girls do their work in the great shops, and I have an especial interest in your effort to com bat the evils of child labor. "There is much outcry, chiefly, I think, from the beneficiaries of abuses, against interference by the National Government with work which should be done by the state government. The state's authority should enact reforms when possible, but if the state authorities do not do as they should in matters of such vital import ance to the whole Nation as this of child labor, then there will be no choice ex cept for the National Government to in terfere. I am striving to secure either final action or else a full and thorough investigation of the matter by the aut'noity of Congress at the present time." 1M0 GAMBLING IN ARIZONA Law Passed Repealing License, Mak ing Offense Felony.

DEEP ITER HONEY House Opens Debate on Rivers and Harbors. NEW POLICY IN OPERATION No More Piecemeal Appropriations. Railroads Becoming Friendly to Navigation Burton Opposes Niggardly Policy of Past. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The river and harbor appropriation bill occupied practically all of the time of the House today. After a short colloquy over the division of time and the pa ternal advice of the Speaker to allow the chairman of the committee of the whole (Currier of New Hampshire) to control the general debate, the debate was begun by Burton of Ohio, chair man of the rivers and harbors com mittee. Speeches were made by Bartholdt of Missouri and others. In providing for the completion of new projects, a radical departure is made in the bill from former methods. "It has been thought best," Burton re marked, "to undertake no new im provement unless the whole amount required for its completion is appro priated or authorized." Railroads Changing Policy. RansdeU of Louisiana said the rail roads were beginning to realize that water must be improved to re lieve the freight congestion" which is alarming the public. The result, he said, is a decided change in the at titude of the railroads toward water improvement. He spoke of the recom mendation of President J. J. Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad, that a 15-foot waterway be provided - from Chicago to the Gulf, and said that the far-sightedness of that railroad offi cial was thoroughly well known. The deep-sea channel from Charles town Navy-Yard, in Boston harbor, to the ocean, 35 feet in depth and 1500 feet wide, the authorization for which is carried in the bill by an appropria tion of $4,400,000, was 'justified by Law rence of Massachusetts. He argued the necessity for such a channel in view of the great growth of foreign commerce being carried in deep-draft vessels. Billions for War, Little for Trade. Ransdell, discussing the practice of reporting river and harbor bills only once in every two or three years, asked, speaking of the Navy: My heart and the heart of every Ameri can swells with a Just pride when we con sider the glorious record of our Navy. But Is It giving to commerce a square deal when it receives for its rivers and harbors prac tically the only appropriations made for commerce, 3 per cent, and war and Its re wards in this peace-loving Nation of ours receives 40 per cent a year of our total an nual appropriations for all the purposes of the Government Burton, resuming, said that during the last five years (the Navy nad alone re ceived a total of $490,000,000, almost as much in five years as the rivers and har bors had received during the entire 118 years of our national life. He remarked that if Congress were properly to im prove all the meritorious waterways, the expenditure would be a billion dollars, Instead of the fli'e hundred millions that have been expended. -'.'The policy of the Government in the past," emphatically declared Burton, "has been nigrgardly and parsimonious , in the extreme." Needs of San Juan Harbor. Resident Commissioner Larrinaga, of Porto Rico, made his maiden speech in support of a policy of improvement In that island. With a slight Spanish ac cent he spoke of the "penny-wise, pound foolish policy" of the committee on rivers and harbors, as far as Porto Rico is concerned. He said: The island has 17 lighthouses around the coast and in the neighboring small islands. Coast navigation is therefore very safe. The battleship Louisiana, Which took the Presi dent to Porto Rico, had to land "him at the Port of Ponce, on the south coast of the Island, as the vessel was coming from Pa nama from the southwest. The President drove across the island in automobiles to reach San Juan, the capital, on the north em coast, but the Louisiana could not come around and enter the Port of San Juan to take the President and he and his party had to re-cross the island to take the Louisiana at Ponce. And why is the port of Ban Juan not prepared today to receive the largest battleship of the United States Navy? Sim ply because the executive council would not have it. The Board of Harbor Works had been one of the most successful organizations in the island. It administered its funds independently, of any official influence. This was, of course, what caused its ruin. The Executive Council could not afford to have such a self-governing body within its autocratic organization. "This is the reason why the harbor of San Juan could not shelter today one of your large battleships from a cyclone in case of need." NOT ON HAGUE PROGRAMME Disarmament and Drago Doctrine Will Require Direct Vote. WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. It may be stated by authority that neither the question of international disarmament, including the kindred subject of re striction, nor the Drago doctrine will be placed updn the programme of sub jects to be considered at The Hague conference when it convenes next June or July. The programme is regarded as closed at this moment, nor will it be formally added to before the meet ing takes place. But every effort will be made to have the conference consider the two sub jects named, though this can only be accomplished by the act of the dele gates themselves, properly supported by their principals. It will require an affirmative vote of the conference to take up for discussion any new sub ject beyond those contained in the programme and it is the hope of the Washington Government that these all important subjects will receive the fa vorable consideration of a majority of the delegates, enabling them to be dis cussed.

REDUCE RAILWAY MAIL PAT House Committee Compromises on Cut of $4,000,000 a Tear. "WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. A com promise of the proposed reduction in railway mail pay was agreed upon to day between representatives of the va rious railroads which have mail con tracts and the House committee on postofflces and post roads. The propo sition to compromise was made through Representative Hedge, of Iowa.

Through Mr. Hedge the railway men agreed to accept this cut, providing the flat rates on routes over 80,000 pounds a day be increased to $20 a ton. The committee agreed on $19 and this was accepted. In addition to reducing the price per ton which railroads are to be paid for hauling mail, which will amount to at least $3,000,000, the committee has ap proved a cut of $1,000,000 in the price to be paid to railways for the rent of mail cars. The committee also de cided that the weight of mail bags must not hereafter be added , to the weight of mail jin computing the amount carried.

MANY WRONGS OF IDAHO Price of Cordwood and Lumber Raised by Forest Reserves and Settlers Driven to Canada Allege President Usurps. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 Rayner"s ad dress on the expansion of executive pre rogatives. Senator Lodge's brief reply and an extended discussion of the ad ministration of public land laws by Hey burn constituted the day's proceedings in the Senate. , Heyburn continued his criticism of the special order of the Secretary of the In terior which forbids the issuance of pat ents to land until after an examination of the ground by a special agent. Hey burn asserted that the creation of forest reserves had raised the price of wood for fuel in his state 75 per cent and the price of lumber generally from S3 to t a thousand feet. He said 18,000,000 acres of land in Idaho had been converted into forest reserves. He could make no ex planation of the policy being pursued un less It was "greed of power." Carter interrupted the discussion, to state that last year not less than 150.000 settlers on land in Western states mi grated to Canada. The reason was, he said, that settlers were tiring of the in creasing restrictions and . embarrass ments being thrown in their way by the administration of the public land laws. His statistics showed that 10 years ago but 47 settlers migrated to Canada in a year. " Heyburn had not concluded when the Senate adjourned. Rayner Crie9 "Usurpation." Rayner accused the President of usurpation of functions not conferred on him by the constitution and began by describing as a most dangerous and in sidious attack on the institutions of the country Secretary Root's recent speech on the enlargement of Federal power. He said the President was "laboring under 1 the honest impression that he was re sponsible to the country for the legisla tion of Congress. He then gave several instances of this tendency. He accused the President of having practically carried the Santo Do mingo treaty Into effect without consult ing the Senate. He declared the Presi dent's criticism of Judge Humphrey's many other painful and serious f 1 , ,1 ailments rrom wnicn most momers. suffer, can be avoided by the use of Mothers Friesfl. This great remedy a God-send to women, carrying Iflpilfclllli' Great Annual Clearance Sale Corner Third and Morrison Streets decision on the packers' case an invasion of judicial prerogatives. He expressed disapproval of the President's intrusion in writing to Governor Guild, of Massa chusetts, to commend the latter's refusal to commute the death sentence on Charles 1m Tucker. He suggested that Mr. Guild might have replied that he did not request the President's opinion. He said that the President's letter was a practical announcement that the acts of state officials were subject to the appro val or displeasure of the Federal Gov ernment. Interferes With legislation. He condemned the President's inter ference in regard to the rate law and the sealevel canal. He predicted that the Schley case would yet be reopened. He said the President's construction of his prerogatives had caused a new school of scribes to edit "the unwritten constitu tion." He continued: The President is the prophet of this new creed. But one thins be has no right to do, and that Is to use the vast public patronage at his disposal to compel obedience to his views. Another thing he has no right to do Is to make compacts with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, or its commit tee to accomplish or prevent legislation.

In my very extensive practice I have learned a few truths that are undeniably of interest to EVERY MAN. First of all I find that the very serious and so-called "in curable" cases are due usually to NEG LECT and DELAY. "Again, I know that many men suffer FOB YEARS and prac tically RUIN THEIR HEALTH FOR EVER trying to dose themselves with some patent nostrum that never could cure. And further, it is evident that many men will run to what they call "cheap" treatment. NO TREATMENT AT ALL is what "cheap" treatment means in nine cases out of ten. The last state of the man is worse than the first. Just before you go a line further in this announcement, stop and ask yourself as to whether YOU are following in the foolish footsteps of the man who NEGLECTS himself f Are YOU trying to cure yourself with nostrums f Are YOU looking for treatment that will not cure? If you are, it is certain that vou will regret it. It is NEVER TOO LATE to get on the right path, but at the same time remember that you cannot get there too soon.
