Allentown, Pa, January i9.-After hav Ing examined forty witnesses in Its en- deavor to prove that Mrs. Catherine Bech- tel was guilty of being an accessory after the fact in the murder of her daughter. Mabel, last October, the commonwealth closed it's case at o'clock this afternoon. The proceedings today were taken up entirely with the examination of experts on blood.

 The managers of the theatres declared tonight that it would be impossible for them to meet the demands of the enabling act in sufficient time to do business dur ing the remainder of this season. and sew eral of them declared that they had no in- tention of trying to reopen their doors.
 The manager of one theatre declared that he thought he could be in shape by February l. but was not sure of it.
 The passage of the ordinance last night put two of the downtown theatres out of business, as their construction is such that they will be unable to comply with the law without tearing down the build ings In which they are located and erect ing new structures. All of the other houses will be able to meet the demands of the law, but 1t will be at great expense for several of them.

Chicago, January 1s.-The city council tonight took action that will in all prob ability result in the closing of nearly all of the theatres in Chicago for the remain der of the present theatrical season.
 Last night the council passed an ordi- nance setting forth what must be done by the theatres of this city before they are allowed to remain In continuous operation.
 It convened tonight to consider the pas sage of an enabling act that would allow the theatres to operate for the remainder of this season without being compelled to fulfill all the requirements of the ordi- nance as some of the conditions are of a nature that will require the practical re- construction of some of the playhouses. After long debate the council decided on the following essentials, which the thea tres must meet before they will be al- lowed to reopen their doors:
 A steel curtain.
 An automatic sprinkler system.
 A bond of s25, 900 guaranteeing the per- formanee by August 1. 1904, of all the re- quirements of the ordinance

 'will you be one of the delegates at larger"
 T don't know. That Is for the con- vention to determine. We all must abide by its decision. If the republicans Of Ohio should think me worthy of such an honor, l would, of course. be very glad to go, provided the sentiment of the re- publicans of Ohio Is in favor, as l think it is, of the nomination of President Roos- evelt.
 T believe in the man; I believe in his administration: I believe he will be the strongest candidate who can be named, and I believe he will be triumphantiy elected, and I believe there should not be any halting or hesitation on the part of Ohio republicans about supporting him. If, with this understanding as to my po- sition, the republicans of Ohio should de- sire me to represent them, l will of course be glad to do so."

CIamOr For Three Hours at
 LehIgh Co' Meeting
ULTERIOR MOTIVE IMPUTED
Strenuous Opposition Is Advanced Against the Adoption of the An nual Report of President
 and Directors.

Philadelphia January 19.-Stockholders of the Lehigh Valley Railroad company for three hours today clamored for a dividend at the annual meeting of the company. Numerous speeches were made, in which the policy of the administration was questioned, and intimations were thrown out of ulterior motives on the part of officers and directors in failing to declare dividend, when the profits for the past year appeared to warrant such action.
 Strenuous opposition was advanced against the adoption of the annual re- port of the president and directors, be- cause of a clause authorizing a great con- solidation mortgage securing bonds to the amount of $15o.O00, GOO. The same clause also provides that prior mortgages shall not be extended at maturity, but are to be replaced by the general mortgage.
 Demand Meets DisapprovaI.
 D. T. Stotesbury of Philadelphia called for stock vote upon the adoption of the report, which demand met with disap- proval on the part of the minority
 It was claimed that the proxies were to be voted only for the directors, and could not be utilized in the adoption of the report. President Thomas, who occupied the chair, ruled otherwise. and the report was voted upon, Simultaneously with the election of the directors. The count showed 457.767 shares in favor of the re- port and LII against it. President Thomas and the old board was reelected.
 fC o1,a made by the various stockholders, in- cuding the imputation that it has been the idea of the management of the com pany to prevent the payment of a dividend as long as possible.
 In a statement to the shareholders Pres- ident Thomas assumed entire responsibil- lty for the mortgage clause, saying he had acted in the interest of the stockholders. Does Not Want to Perpetuate Control.
 T deny" he said, that the purpose was to perpetuate control Of the road The property is not so valuable that can commit a dishonest act to retain it. The board and myself are unwilling to rest under the imputation that we are trying to destroy the property, or give it into the control of others. Whatever our faults, the statement that we are en- eeavorirg to do anything but that which is best for the Lehigh Valley company is unqualifedly false.''
 A resolution urging the incoming board to resume the payment of dividends was adopted.
 Another resolution demanding the pay ment of a quarterly dividend of 1 per cent was not pressed, President Thomas stat ing that 1t was not under the province of the stockholders to declare dividend
 The company has not declared a divi- dend for eleven years.
