CONCESSION TO
THEATER OWNERS
COUNCIL COMMITTEE WORKING
ON NEW ORDINANCE. -
Stores Will Be Allowed in Street
Front of Theaters, Under Certain
matte Sprinklers Not Yet Settled -
Old and New Houses.

Good progress in the preparation of
the theater building ordinance was
made by the special council committee
this morning. There will be another
meeting Friday afternoon to complete
the report for the council.
Section was revised so as to per-
nit stores in the street front Of
theaters. The stores are not to ex-
coed so feet in depth and must be in
closed in fire-proof walls. >&...
There was some debate regarding
the style of skylight or ventilating
shaft over the stage. 1t was repre-
scented that the automatic devices
would freeze in winter so that they
could not be opened, and 1T was pro-
posed that the shaft be covered with
a belfry tower with slate some dis
lance apart, so as to permit the pas
sage of air. The committee decided
in favor Of an automatic skylight, to
of a rope, the skylight to have one
tenth of the area Of the stage. g.-
No definite action was taken with
regard to the sprinkler systems. The
local theater managers contend that
automatic sprinkler systems are un-
satisfactory, as there are occasions
during ordinary performances when
sufficient heat is developed to melt
| the fusible plugs. Building Inspector
1louSAIol Is qultS Alls1ete1t LII SP11llh.
lers on the STAGE While he does not
recommend any particular system, he
says that all the New York theaters
are equipped with such devices, and
argues that If they are feasible in one
city they should be in others.
Another section over which there
will be some controversy will be the
Zone which exempts the houses already
built from the provisions Of certain
sections. There have been strong rep.
RESERVATIONS that there should be nc
determinations between old houses
and new ones. This question will pro-
woke lively discussion at the nex1
meeting Of the committee.

struction of single piece.
The chairs are deep and cushioned in
leather. The wood is finished in a
weathered oak tone and placed in a
collection of factory made furniture it
would be difficult to pick out the work
of the amateurs by the finish and con-
struction. The furniture, in truth,
shows better construction and finish
than much of that turned out by the
factories of the country. Large
crowds have visited the rooms where
the furniture is on exhibition. It will
remain on exhibition for a few days
after which it will be shipped to st.
Louis to be placed in the Minnesota

Health Department Left Out.

There is some dissatisfaction among
the aldermen, particularly those on
the board of health, over the failure
to include some member Of the local
health department on the commission
to Investigate the Minneapolis water
supply and make recommendations
for its improvement. It is understood
that the waterworks committee will be
urged to include either Health Com
missioner Hall or DR.. J. Frank Corbett
in it's recommendation to the city
council, but if the committee does not
meet again before the council meeting
motion to that effect will be made
from the floor Of the council.

THE UNIVERSITY
ANOTHER FLAG RAISED
VARSITY FRESHMEN HOIST BAN
NER, BUT ALLOW SOPHS TO
PULL 1T DOWN WITHOUT A
STRUGGLE.

For q third time the university
freshmen have raised their green and
white banner and allowed the sopho-
mores to pull it down without a
struggle.
Some time last night the freshmen
placed their banner on the main build
ing. This morning two "sophs'
climbed the pole and took down the
flag. They were very modest about
their exploint and concealed the BAN
ner.
This is the fourth class banner to
be raised within week, and so FAR
neither class has attempted to keep
it's colors flying after they were raised.
Several seniors caused excitement
to-day by displaying large book beer
sign on the Pillsbury monument. 1t
was removed by the authorities.
There Is a hitch in the negotiations
between the girls teams Of Mime
sofa and Nebraska over a game to
be played in Lincoln. A letter from
the Nebraska management asked that
Minnesota come the latter part of the
month, as Nebraska wished to play
Missouri on the date suggested by the
gophers. The Minnesota girls are OPP
posed to keeping up practice so late
in the season, and Manager Deerine
has telegraphed that Minnesota viii
not play later than April l6.
H. w. Wilson has given $25 to the
rhetoric department for a prize to the
third man on the central league de.
batting team. The prize will be giver
each year and will be known as the
Wilson prize.
This makes the number of prizes Of
fered for debate and oratory, thirty
five, and the total amount about
$1,000.
The April meeting of the university
regents will be called tomorrow. AS
several members will be unable to at
tend, the meeting will probably adj
journ until commencement week. The
executive committee will meet and
transact routine business.

TWO MILLION .INS.
SCARCELY A DROP
AUDITORIUM PLAN AS SEEN BY
INSURANCE MAN.
Lewis E. Gordon, Secretary of Hart
ford Life Insurance Company, Says
Minneapolis Should Produce Re-
uuired Amount With the Utmost
Ease-NIoyement Will Benefit All
Companies. a.

1.-TWO million dollars in insurance is
not a. drop in the bucket out Of the
business Minneapolis is capable of do
ing said Lewis e. Gordon, secretary
Of the Hartford Life Insurance COM
pany Of Hartford, Conn, in reference
to the plan for securing music hall
by obtaining that amount OF insurance
for the Northwestern National Life In
surance company of Minneapolis.
"At present the companies Of the
United States do not begin to insure
the people. I think Mr.. Johnston. our
northwest manager, has taken exactly
the right stand on the matter, and I
approve Of his action. We believe
in being broad-minded in such matters
are great numbers Of men in Mime
apolis who can carry large policies
and should, who have not taken any
thing like the amount of insurance
they are able to carry. The movement
will, I think, be Of benefit to all in
surance men in Minneapolis. We fire.
auently talk insurance to a man and
other company gets hold Of him and
writes him. Our agents run across
men interested by agents Of other
companies and write them. It Is
about an even thing. The talk over
this project will be something Of an
educational factor in calling the at.
tention Of people to life insurance and
it's merits, and I think it will prove
beneficial in an indirect way to al
agents. AS said before, two million
of insurance is not a drop in the
bucket in the Minneapolis field"

WITHERsPoON COMING
Famous Basso Ballad Singer viii Be Here
April Is.

OF the six artists announced to appear
this season at Apollo club concerts, none
has excited the interest of music lovers as
much as Herbert Witherspoon, the cele-
brated young American basso. Krehbiel,
Henderson, Aldrich, Finck, Philip Hale
and Apthorp, all unite in paying great
homage to this gifted artist. Mr.. Wither-
spoon has a bass voice Of fine quality and
Of sufficient range. It is well equaized
and is under perfect control. The singer
delivers 1t with freedom, without forcing,
and with admirable management Of the
breath. His employment of head tones Is
mastery and his mezzo voice singing is
highly finished. His full tone is sonorous,
warm and penetrating. His enumeration Is
clear and perfectly ineligible.
The Apollo club will present this IA
nous ballad singer at the First Baptist
church Friday evening, April Is. Char
lotte Demuth, a charming violiniste, will
appear on the same program. .4-
