mayor klefer has promised to pro-
tect the grounds with squad of twelve
special police, or more if necessary.
The grounds are now ready for the
picture. The amphitheater has been
almost completed and contains large
spacious aisles. SO that there will be
no danger Of crowding. Thirty or forty
experienced ushers will be employed to
direct people to their seats.
L. r. Hoffman, state director. has.
through the influence of George r.
Finch, chairman of the citizens COM
mittee, secured the use of the arnory
for special drills. An advertisement
has appeared in the daily papers call
Ing for 500 soldiers to take part in the
war dramas. and so hearty have been
the responses that all needed military
material has been already secured.
Members of the old National Guard
want only half chance to take q shot
at Spaniards, even on pictures. The
men secured are trained in infantry,
cavalry and artillery work. Besides
these the management will bring about
200 men, all Of whom are trained SOL
diers. Fully 1000 shots will be exchang-
ed during each battle, not including the
Quick-firing by small arms.
Chief H. N. Cook. of the fire depart
ment, conferred with the committee to
ascertain what extra precautions
against CONGREGATIONS should be taken.
His visit was the result of complaints
by citizens living In the neighborhood
OF the amphitheater. When they saw
huge guns and mortars hauled in
wagons drawn by four horses and saw
tons upon tons Of ammunition piled by
the roadside, they were worried. The
nearest occupied residence is more than
two blocks away, but still some Of the
citizens were nervous and expressed
their alarm to the fire department.
Chief Cook was assured that there
was practically no danger whatever,
even though strong wind might blow
during the show, but it was suggested
that as a precautionary measure and
to allay completely the fears Of all citi-
Zens, he might have a couple of en-
gines and a supply of hose in readiness
every evening. Chief Cook stated that
chemical, two engines and 10000 feet
of hose and also a hook and ladder
rigging.
AS far as any danger is concerned
the management insists that the spec
tators need fear none. They will sit
beneath the canopy of heaven and the
amphitheater will be one mass Of exits.
The enclosure will consist entirely of
canvas, twelve feet high and LOO feet
around. The heaviest missiles will be
shot 300 feet in the air before they ex-
plode, and the wrapping paper Of
which they are made will be burned
