HAND ORGANS DISTURB 5TH-AvE
W. S. Gurnee omplains-POice Guard
Neighbor's House.

The hand organ man has been causing trouble in
5th-ave. AS result the police were called in yes
terday and embarrassing misrepresentation fol-
lowed.
The complaint was made by Walter S Gurnee.
of No. Alt 5th-ave. He reported to Commissioner
McAdoo that all manner of alleged musicians and
other noise makers were wont to collect in front
of the home of Mrs. George Lewis, at No. AL 5th-
ave- and pour forth their souls in tones of dole.
Now the Police Commissioner. acting the sup
position that Mrs Lewis distressed and that
the appeal in her behalf. ordered the Tender
loin station men to look after it, Accordingly a
policeman paced in front of No. AL yesterday after
noon and there was peace in that house.
But 1t seems Mrs Lewis did not appreciate the
attention. Persons passing and seeing the per-
sisent sentinel looked with suspicion the house.
Mrs. Lewis told a reporter last night that she was
not ill or nervous and that she enjoyed the pres
ence of the organ and their clan. She added
that she did not fancy being guarded by police
At the home of Mr. Gurnee II was declared that
the superabundance Of hand organ had become in
tolerabe.
And there the case rests.

sessions this afternoon and tonight The
morning was given over to reports of the ofl-
GERS Of the council, and Mrs. Flo Jamison Miller

what had been done. but of things that ought to

A report Of letters sent out or received gives

ahead and see what might be done by the coun-
Gil and its workers.
She then asked what the council had done
toward assisting to destroy "the white slave
traffic"
What are we going to do about it? Take the
children working in the factories. The young
cannot stand up to the life Of the factory grind

paupers, simply from the fact that their little

NOTES OF THE STAGE.
Miss Ritchie Teaches Practical Etiquette to
ROwdies in Box

Ever since "F9orodora'' was revived at the
Broadway Theatre the management has been an
noyed by audiences which have thought their own
conversation more amusing than the lines Of the
show. Last night a party of six occupied a stage
box, and from the moment the curtain went up
began TO disparage IN tones heard over half the
house the efforts OF the present company. When
it came time for Miss Adele RitchIe to sing Tact
at end of the first act. she started TO sing the
regular chorus. and then. nettled by loud
remark from the box. improvtsed a chorus
hecting most strongly on the party. This kept
them still for few seconds especially as the rest
of the audience became enthusiastic the
buke. but by the middle of the second act they
were worse than ever. Then Miss Ritchie stopped
acting long enough to say:
I have sent the price Of your box to the business
manager of this theatre. Unless you act with some
degree of decency and courtesy, shall insist that
your money be refunded and have you elected
from the house Not only the stage
disgusted and annoyed. but is the entire
