Theatre Licenses Refused.

Police Commissioner McAdoo yesterday re-
FUSED to renew the licenses for the Victoria and
Lew Fields theatres, owned by Oscar Ham
merstein. on the ground that the theatres had
iailed to comply with requirements of the
Buildings Department. and ordered the police
TO see that the theatres were not openad. The
policemen were on hand, but so vas Hammer
stein with an Injunction from Justice Truax pre-
venting the police from interfering with the
performance at the Victoria. The police de-
parted and the performance went on. The Low
faelds Theatre was dark anyway. the 1T Hap
pened in Nordland" company having left it.
Hammerstein heard that the order was TO be
issued In the morning. and went to Mr. Nc
Adoo. The Commissioner told him that oertif-
Gates from the Buildings Department that the
victoria and the Lew Fields Theatre had COM
pheo with all the requirements had not reached
him. and that until they did he could not allow
theatres to be opened
He talked with Buildings Superintendent Hop
per over the phone while Mr.. Hau1merstein was
there- MI Hopper said that last January his
department informed Mr.. Hammerstein that the
skylights in the Victoria Theatre were not sat-
lsfactory and must comply with the law This
had not been done Until It was he would not
receive certificate for the theatre
Commissioner McAdoo then sent word to Cap
tain Flood, of the ATHEIST station, to see that
Hammerstein went to his lawyer. Emanuel J.
Blumenstein, and the latter went in search OF
Justice Truax to get Injunction.
Many people. those who wanted to see the per
formance and those who had gathered with the
report that the theatre had been ordered closed
and that trouble might result were packed
about the entrances Of the Victoria when
Rcundsman Fogarty OF the theatre squad, and
five men. and Roundsmau Waters, of the West

must not open He said It would, and with his
hat pulled down over his eyes and hands behind
his back, walked up and down, muttering,
Where is that lawyer?" Soon Blumenstein was.

This whole thing is due to Jerome" said
Hammersten Hopper never had any cause
to find fault with my Victoria until 1 had to
call Mr.. Jerome down. Then Mr.. Hopper sud
denly decided that the skylights in the roof of
my theatre would have to be moved to another

came under the music hall law license and
that 1t was not necessary to have skylights il
the roof was 30 feet from the stage. He had
put them in at the request OF Mr. Hopper's

theatre and granted a license. If the desired
change is made, said Mr.. Hammerstein it would

Announcement was made yesterday at the meet
ing Of the board OF trustees Of Columbia UNI
versIty that $4,000 had been contributed by an
anonymous donor for the purpose OF erecting a new

RECKLESS USE OF KNIVES AND RAzoRs.
A Protest Against Conditions in the Tender
loin Police Precinct.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: wish to call your attention to the reckless
use of knives and razors in the hands Of negroes
in the Tenderoin precinct. I have occasion to
pass by the West 30thst. police station frequently
between $50 p and midnight. and almost
nightly the victim OF negros knife Is carried
10 the station. I understand good authority
that the police of the West S0th-st. station accept
these cutting affairs in a matter-of-fact way and
exert themselves only in a perfunctory fashion
to catch the knife wielders
A few nights ago inoffensive French cook
from a nearby restaurant assisting sick
companion to his home. when he accosted
by powerful negro who demanded match. The
cook explained that he did speak English,
whereupOn the negro whipped out a and
slashed him most brUtaly. An artery IN tho mans
left was severed and he tainted from loss
OF blood on reaching the station. There were no
detectives on call when the came in, and
perfunctory search was made several hours later.
Commissioner McAdoo has expressed strong
protest against the carrying OF weapons yet in
one Of his important precincts razors reNolvers
and knives are carried abundantly are
pocket handkerchefs.
believe II these facts printed in The
TrbUne-whch has been so successful In its many
crusades-that something may lie done by the
police OF the Tenderloia precinct TO run down
these brutal negroes, W. L =.

NEW FINE ARTS SCHOOL.
National Academy Mast Raise $780,
900 to Cmry out Plans.

In the plan for the establishment OF great
school of fine arts, proposed by President Butler
OF Columbia University and involving the CO.
operation of the university, the National Acad-
envy of Design and the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art. it will be necessary for the National Acad-
envy to raise about 100000 for school buildings
Harry W. Watrous secretary OF the Academy
OF Design, told Tribune reporter yesterday that
a wealthy New Yorker interested in art had
promised to contribute any amount up 10 $780,
000 provided some one else would subscribe an
equal sum. Mr.. Watrous added that he thought
Columbia University would assist in raising a
part of the 100000 required
Kenyon Cox. a member of the council of the
Academy Of Design. in q talk with the reporter
regarding the progress being made in carrying
out the plan OF President Butler, said the de-
tails Of the scheme were being worked out and
would shortly be laid before the council of the
academy. AS soon the scheme complete
IN detail and the council had acted upon it, It
would be laid before the general meeting of the
academy. probably this month.
Mr.. Cox said the academy would have to raise
a great deal Of money as soon as the details Of
the scheme were settled. The academy had also
to consider its duty as an exhibiting society
which not connected with the Couub ia
University scheme and had to be provided for
Even the SlOO,OOO which the academy has in
vested for its schools would not be available
for the school buildings proposed, because the
academy would have its schools to run as before
on greater and more expensive scale than now
Mr.. Cox said the general idea was that Columbia
University would maintain professorships I'm
architecture, music and the history and theorv
OF art. while the academy would maintain pro-
fessorships in painting sculpture and decora tive
art, with assistant professors and instructors
so that the expense Of maintaining the art
schools of the academy would probably be con-
siderably increased. This increased expense
might possibly be met by increased income bur
the academy would not be justified in usinp, anv
part Of it's present funds for building ar Co
lumbia University. The funds specifically de-
voted to the academy schools. which were really
necessary now. would be more necessary under
the new arrangement with Columbia University
II it went through. He said
The whole possibility OF the scheme Is de-
pendent upon the ability of the National Acad-
envy to raise about 100000. The understand
ing, however, is that Columbia University will
aid in raising the money. l do not think the
Metropolitan Museum of Art has auv nart IN
the proposed arrangement between the NationaI
Academy and Columbia University.
