ELECTRICIANS WAR ON MOVIES' WORK Disagreement Over “Talk- jes” Installation — May Spread From New York. By the Astociated Press. NEW YORK, August 2.—Disagree- ment between two unions as to which should have the work of installing talk- ing movie equipment in theaters has halted work here and in several other ecities. Motion picture companies fear that hundreds of theaters throughout the country may be affected. ‘When most of the large movie com- panies recently got together on the use of & single sound reproduction de- wice for use in all their films, installa- tion of necessary theater equipment was begun at once. The Western Electric Co. said today that some 400 theaters already have been equipped fully for the “talkies” and that the company has orders for equipping 600 more. | Done by Building Electrician. The installation work, which takes about two weeks for one theater, was being done by electricians of the build- ing trades union. A protest now has been made, however, by the stage elec- tricians, on the ground that because the equipment is being put in theaters, | it falls within thelr preserve Both unions are members of the American Federation of Labor and movie men believe that unless that hody adjudicates the quarrel quickly, stage electricians everywhere may make Hike demands and installation work will | be held up in all the 600 theaters| awaiting equipment. | Held Inter-Union Affair. Leaders of the unions could not be reached today to comment on the dif- ferences or to predict how long a tie-up eseemed likely, or how likely it was to spread. ‘The Western Electric Co. preferred not to issue any statement on the d that the trouble, while affecting was entirely an inter-union affair and must be settled between the unions. ——e U.

While the Lorton Reformatory flying squadron was conducting an organized chase that began Sunday morning and ended Tuesday morning, when the sup- posed fugitive floated down the Poto- mac on a log, the object of their search was calmly cutting grass and doing odd jobs here in the city, it was revealed today.

The dogs followed the trail to the | | ratiroad tracks, where they lost the scent, so the officers took the animals along the tracks toward the city. Some miles further on they picked up what the officers thought to be the trail of m: fugitive and continued toward the o fleeing colored man upon several occa- sions, the officers followed, and on Mon- day night they had the man cornered on a small islnad just off Gravelley Point. The man was chased there after he was found in a vacant house on the Virginia side of the river by one of the officers, who fired at him as he fled toward the river. He swam to the island. Monday night they watched the island and on Tuesday morning called for the assistance of the police boat. Thelr quarry, however, straddled a log and went floating down the river be- fore the boat could reach the scene. A few minutes after he had landed at a point some distance down the river & motor boat took him aboard and headed for the Seventh street wharves. This morning Lieut. Rothwell and Headquarters Detective Dennis Mur- phy went to 525 T street and found knowledge of the fact that he was pursued by bloodhounds, shot at, float- ed down the river on a log and then was rescued by a motor boat.

He had arrived home Sun- day and been in the vicinity ever since. ‘The question which is now puzzling the police and members of the work- house flying squadron is: “Who was the fugitive that they chased for two days and nights and why should he have sought to elude them?” The question remains unanswered. . o Coast Gets French Opera.

By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.—8ome 547 descendants of Mark Hopkins, the California pioneer, have lost in United States District Court here their fight for a share of the vast estate left by the capitalist when he died in 1883. The suits, all filed by North Carolina relatives, charged that Moses Hopkins, Mark’s brother and administrator of his estate, had concealed $1,000,000 when the estate was first distributed. The proceedings were dismissed on the ground that the estate had been fully adnfinistered and that the complainants had failed to show that they had been barred from advancing their claims at the time of administration. The court also held groundless charges of the North Carolinians that Timothy Nolan Hopkins, adopted son of Moses, continued the concealment of assets. The suits were instituted after the death of Moses. Meanwhile the will of Mrs. Emily Hopkins, widow of Moses, which was filed in New York July 7, last, has been held up by litigation involving the Mark Hopkins estate. She distributed $3,474.- 881 to 45 heirs. Mark Hopkins died intestate. and his | widow and two brothers, Moses and Samuel, inherited his estate.
