Rev. Sam Jones Barred From the
Dallas Opera House.
He Spoke to the Multitude From q
Carriage-The Mayor Took
Hand.
JONES GETS HOT

Rev. Sam Jones seems to be up
against 1t in Dallas. Texas. Closely
following his experience Of a few
nights ago when the anti-Prohibitiou
people turned out the lights on him
during the middle of his lecture, he
was Sunday night deeply chagrined
when he went to the opera house to
fill an engagement TO learn that it was
locked and barred, and the crowd
could not get in. The fortress, it
seems, was captured by the enemy.
Says a Dallas special telegram of the
trouble:
Although the opera house had been
rented on Friday last for Sam jones
for tonight as a sequel to the turning
out of the lights on Jones and his au-
dience at Turner hall on the night pre-
vious. when Jones appeared there to-
night to fill his engagement he and
his audience were refused admittance.
There was tremendous crowd in
waiting, but the doors had not been
opened nor the opera house lighted.
After being denied the privilege of
speaking in the opera house, Jones ad-
dressed the immense crowd from a
carriage at st. Paul and Main streets,
half a block away, and used vigorous
language. He promised his audience
if they would remain away from the
polls on February II and let the liquor
men carry the election by default, he
would buy tent capable Of seating
is, 900 persons, return TO Dallas IN a
few months and wonld guarantee to
carry Dallas county for Prohibition.
He said Dallas was now grabbed by
the whiskey men, who were thorough
ly organized; that if the Prohibition
lists would carry Dallas county, they
must take time and organize thorough.
ly, also.
While Jones was talking Ben L. Ca.
bell. mayor of Dallas, appeared at the
opera house, and, speaking through
the keyhole, demanded that the doors
of the house be opened. Parties Cd
the inside replied that the doors would
not be opened; that the opera house
should not be used for political pur-
poses. After some parleying, Mayor
Cabell and others succeeded in getting
the house opened to the public and it
was soon filed Rev. Sam Jones, how
ever, refused to go inso the building.
He remained at his carriage until he
had finished his address, and was then
driven to his hotel.
The incidents of tonight and last
Thursday night have intensified the
bitter feeling already existing over the
Prohibition issue.

NEW HAVEN DECISION SECRET.
To DO Given Out Ts-day--It VIII he .
surprise, says President Hall.

NEW HAVEN. March is.-President John
NJ. Hall Of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, when he returned to
this city tonight from the meeting Of the
directors Of the company in New York
to-day. where was considered the joint
schedule Of the employees for moro pay
and shorter hours. refused to make any
statement about what decision the directors
had reached on the demands OF the men.
He said that the decision would be COM
municated TO the two chairmen Of the joint
committees some time tomorrow morning
All that President Hall would say tonight
was to brand a. ridirulous the story that
the company intended TO apply to the courts
for an injunction to restrain the employees
Of the road from interfering With the opera
tions Of the road In any way. He added:
.The decision Of the directors will be sent
to the grievance committee tomorrow
morning. We have decided to have 1t
come from the committee first. II the
committee doesn't give II out will make
1t public in the afternoon. The decision
will surprise you when you hear IT.
There 10 an opinion among railroad men
in this city tonight that the action Of the
board Of directors was pot favorable to the
employees.
A man familiar with the financial con-
dit ion Of the New Haven rosd said tonight
that the increase, according to the new
joint schedule. would mean an additional
expense OF $500 900. and that this, with
the increased COST OF coal IN ths past se ason
would he more than the comrAny could
stand. Under these circumstances tho
new schedule Of wages could not be asoer-
tanned.
There will be q meeting Of the grievance
committee in this city tomorrow morn
ing at which the communication from Mr..
Hall will be discussed.
Val Fitzpatrick, tho head Of the train
men, was asked tonight what course would
be taken in case q Joint schedule was re-
fused He hesitatod about replying and
finally said the matter would be referred
to the men to determine the best action to
pursue.
A representative Of the company. who
would not be quoted by name, made thi'
statement yesterday:
"a reply to the men has been sent. and
fhere is every reason to think 1t will be
satisfactory TO them
| o. NJ. Shepard, general superintendent
for the New York Division, was asked II
the company had any preparations made
for possible strike.
