RIGHTS OF THEATERGOERS TO
THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
Has the purchaser of theater tickets.
at box Office of any of the local houses,
any privileges to secure courtesies at
the hands of the attendant?
AS each year goes by 1t appears that
the treasurer and his assistant are be-
coming more autocratic, especially so
at the higher-priced houses. When the
prospective purchaser reaches the win
dow at the box office, and in the most
condescending manner requests the at
tendant for good seats in any part CT
the house, he is met by chilling stare.
and the stereotyped question suappingIy
asked, How many?" and is returned
tickets within the convenient reach of
the Official
If the seats are not to his liking, and
he protests. he receives a Greenland re-
ply to the effect, 1T is the best in the
house. and the conversation is cut short
by the employe whistling one of the
popular airs of the day. The incident
happens daily and the worm Is now
turning.
l want to know why We should not
receive the same treatment as we do
when We enter a store to make a pur-
chase. How would the theaters survive
without the generous patronage OF the
public? They are the ones who should
be anxious to secure trade.
Respectfully,
A THEATERGOER.

he Editor of The Washington Times:

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
In spring time it is not unusual to
sec darky women outside the market
with branches of fruit trees laden with
blooms 70 sell.
They don't seem to realize that by al
lowing these blossoms to come to ma
turity the fruit would be far more prof
liable than the flowers. Nor do they
seem to consider the great damage done
the trees when thus shorn of their
branches.
Such wanton waste certainly seems
worthy the interference OF the authori-
ties. The people, too, can do much to
aid in its suppression by refusing to
purchase such wares.
These wares too, in many instances
are stolen goods. since trees on their
own places are not robbed as often as
are wavside trees and those on other
peoples places F. s. X

Van Auken was one of the victims of
Chief Conroy's raid Wednesday night, and
when e. M. Schugens pleaded guilty yes

sentence, Van Aullen entered a plea of not

Listed.
Hennepin Av. Property Is Showing
Unwonted Activity With
Prices Firming Up.

The Withdrawal from the market of the
property on Hennepin avenue between the
library building at Tenth street and
Eleventh street closely follows the
Journal story Of the desire on the part of
certain interests to give over the present
building to- societies which have had a
home in the structure and to erect new
building for the library proper. Lots
which would naturally be the site of such
building have been offered for sale for
years and the owners have been willing to
sell. providing the price was forthcoming
The fact that agents who have had the
properties for sale no longer list them,
has deep significance, indicating that
those interested in the new library
project have probably secured the CO.
operation of the owners pending efforts
to secure the necessary funds for the new
structure -
