TRANSFER no THE GRAND.
John a. Daley Makes Argument for
Theatrical Change.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
If the awful disaster at the Chicago
theater shall result in the transfer of
the theatrical exhibitions to the Grand
opera house, it will be magnificent ex-
ample of one community reaping a ben
eft through the sufferings of anOthers.
The writer is one who will not enter
CraWford's opera house. Concentration
of three exits into the narrow declivit-
Gus main exit is a fearful menace, and
the disaster threatening this commu-
nifty is much worse than that at the
Iroquois in Chicago 1t is possible to
lose an equal number of lives at any
crowded entertainment in the Crawford
opera house, and six hundred lives out
of this smaller community would mean
a much wider spread calamity.
All elements of disaster lie in the
Crawford opera house. Let US see to it
that the movement for transfer of at
fractions be forced at an early day.
The allusion to the Auditorium is mis-
leading and not properly qualified. 1t
should be remembered that there is or
dinarily no considerable amount of
rapidly igniting material in the Audi
torium and in the few cases in which
such conditions do exist, they are where
they could and would be easily reached
by the fire department, which is always
on the spot; the remote contingency,
that might be feared, being that the
fire department should be already en-
gagged at the breaking out of a fire in
the Auditorium
The contention that the theater should
be on Kansas avenue IS too silly to
need refutation. Indeed it would be
better for the theater going public that
it be on Topeka avenue.
AS matter of interest, and confirma-
tory of the desirability of quiet and or
derby movement, 1 viii say that at the
close of a performance to full house at
the Grand opera house. having been
seated in the front balcony, 1 took out
my watch and noted the second at the
fall of the curtain, and was the last
person of the audience to leave the
house, at exactly two and a half min
utes from the time of the fall of the
curtain. This through the front exits
only.

way. He did not call the executive
committee of the county committee to-
gether moro than couple of times, but
ignored the committee and engineered
the campaign on his own hook and wit
the advice of some of the candidates.
The prohibitionists will endeavor to
have the campaign so conducted that
the members of the committee will
have an interest in it. To this end
and as a forerunner of what may fol-
low the committeeman from the Third
ward, in caucus held Friday for the
selection of two men to fill two Vaean-
cies in the ward delegation, the COM
mitteemen from the Third ward refus-
ed to be dictated to by Chairman Phil
Ups. Philips wished to elect J. G. Sion
ecker to a place On the county central
committee from the Third ward. Sion
ecker desired to be on the committee.
Philips appeared at the caucus with a
proxy, which he was allowed to pre-
sent He then attempted to have a
voice in the caucus for the reason that
he lived in the Third ward. The COM
mitteemen held that as nine commit
teemen are allowed from the Third
ward and as seven committeeman were
present and there were two vacancies
to be filed, that the nine committee
ships were represented. Philips thought
that as he lived in the ward and was
chairman of the county committee that
he should have a voice in the ward
caucus.
The committeeman refused to allow
Philips to take any part in the caucus
by reason of his being a resident OF
the ward Philips then announced that
he would leave the meeting and that
he would not vote the proxy he held.
The first small caucus in the campaign
with only seven votes in the caucus,
was about as stirring and exciting as
any of the larger meetings that may
follow. Philips announced to the com
mitteemen that a scheme had been
planned to defeat his wishes.
Phillips candidate, Slonecker,was not
elected and Charles Roush and ]. G.
Smith were unanimously selected by
the committee as the names that should
go before the county committee to MI
the two vacancies in the first precinct
of the Third ward.

MaYor of New York.

New York. Jan. George B. Nc
Clellan became mayor of New York

hall accompanied by his secretary, j ohm
II. O'Brien, and walked through lines
of Democrats under an arch of plants
and flowers to the mayors public re-
ception room, where he was greeted by
the retiring mayor. The ceremonies
were not elaborate and speeches were
brief After shaking hands with his
successor Mr.. Low said:
Colonel Mcclellan, the hour has
come when I am permitted to give the
city into your care, in obedience to the
will of the people. Anyone who has
been mayor of New York will always
be ready to honor it's chief magistrate.
Mr.. Mayor, I am glad, as one of the
great body of citizens, to salute you

Colonel Mcclellan responded briefly.
Then Mr.. Low retired to his private
office, and Colonel Mcclellan took his
stand behind the table in the public
office, and Misunderstanding began. All
the Democrats in town seemed to be on
hand. and long lines, reaching to the
city hall steps, were formed by the
police. 1t took a long time for the
Democratic enthusiasts to file by the

Atchison. Kas.. Jan. 2.-The police
have come to the conclusion in the W.

Lockett made the bad money himself,
and that he did it in the little shantx

from Ed Williams. There were pots
and kettles and other utensils in the

the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
