the city unharmed would be like pro-
viding drawingroom accommodations
for her majesty's soldiers.
"For these reasons I think the de-
struction Of johannesburg would be
necessary as military measure for the
Beers. The loss involved would be at
least $3.50, 100000 and Of course the
setback and paralysis Of johannesburg q
industry would be infinitely greater. I
hope, therefore, that something may be
done to satisfy the legitimate aspira-
tions of both belligerents before such a
catastrophe to civilization happens.
"But the Beers will sacrifice Johan-
nesburg and it's beautiful buildings and
modern adjuncts to o'civilization if they
are forced to do it. Then it will be a
fight to the last drop of blood for the
possession of Pretoria. -

Fashionable Hotels and Restaurants Treat

New YORK, March 15.-The police
have carried out their threat and ar
rested the proprietors of most of the
fashionable restaurants, including the
proprietor of the Imperial hotel, on the
charge Of having music in their restau-
rants without concert hall license.
The police also visited such places as
the Hotel Majestic, the Marie Antoi-
nette, the St. Andrew and the Empire
and ordered that the music be stopped.
Intense indignation was manifested
by some of those who came under the
severe hand Of the police and they were
enraged that they should be arrested in
the same class with offenders like pro-
prietors Of the Tvoli, the Bohemia, the
Cairo cafe and other places of similar
reputation.
