GAY CLOTHES FOR MAN.
Philadelphia Taiors to Lead Revolt
Aoajnst the Sombre and Sedate.


Gray evening suits for men, heavily
braided day and walking suits, new
art ideas in legs and sleeves, curios as
vest buttons and gay colors for fancy
yests-these are some of the ideas
that the merchant tailors of Philadel'
phia are advancing in their revolt
against London styles. War is on to
the needlepoint and the Quaker city
knights of the thimble and shears are
calling on all true patriots to stand
by them in their effort to create gay
and good-humored American style of
dress for men in opposition to the
sombre costumes inflicted every year
by "Lunnon."
To give their new movement an i'm

prs of Philadelphia are conducting an
exhibition in one of the display rooms
of a Broad street hotel. To show how
much greater is the merit of the New
American styles" over the English
creations, about fifty London suits are
exhibited alongside those made here
The English suits are all upon the
general lines that have prevailed for
half a century-stiff, somber and un-
compromising. If this exhibition
brings the success that it's promoters
expect, the Philadelphia tailors intend
to become the fashion settlers for the
nation.
In one case every button is hand
carved dogs head, and in another
golden half eagles are used. In the
wide variety displayed there is four

CONRIED FIRES OUT RUBBISH.
THEN POLICE LET THE IRVING
PLACE THEATRE OPEN.

Building Department Furnishes Reason
for Holdup OF L~icense-TwO Other Man.
ayers lacked Up-Trouble for Police
OflcIaIs Who Let the Houses Open.
There came near being no performance
at the Irving Place Theatre last night
Late Yesterday afternoon word was re-
ceived at the office Of Police Commissioner
Bingham from Supt. Murphy Of the Build
ing Department, saying that there was a
violation Of the building laws at the theatre.
He said it had been brought to the atten-
ton OF Heinrich Conried, the manager,
but that he had done nothing to remedy
it. The Building Department advised the
Police Commissioner to see to it that the
theatre was not opened.
Manager Conried was notified by tele-
phone and he talked long and vigorously
with the office Of the Police Commissioner
He was told by Secretary Slattery that there
was no use in arguing, because the Building
Department had ordered the Police Depart
ment to see that the theatre wasn't opened.
Mr.. Conried was advised to get busy and
correct anything that was wrong at his
theatre.
Then Mr.. Conried communicated with the
Building Department and an inspector was
sent up to the theatre to point out just
what should be done. There was a lot of
stuff stored under the stage and the build
ing inspector told Conried that it must be
taken out before any performance was per-
mitted in the place
Conried. after much trouble, rounded
UP a gang Of stage hands and the stuff was
dragged out from beneath the stage and
placed elsewhere. This satisfied the Build
ing Department n word was sent to Police
Commissioner Bingham at his residence
that the police order closing the house could
be withdrawn.
Acting Inspector Hodgins had already
got together a squad OF cops to guard the
doors OF the theatre. He was notified to
call of the guard and did 30, much to the
low Of Herr Conried, who had the box Office
opened and saw his seats begin to fill.
Herr Conried's lawyer, Mr.. Dittenhoe
called at Police Headquarters yesterday
and asked for leniency on the part Of the
Commissioner about the Irving Place
Theatre. The Commissioner said he had
no desire to be arbitrary and some blame
attached to both sides, but the past laxity
in getting licenses would haye to cease.
When a license is applied for a sum OF
$500 is Deposited and a receipt given for it.
But on the receipt, stamped In red ink,
is q specific statement that he receipt
is not a~lioense andthe Commissioner blames
Mr.. Conried for not getting a license.
Herr Conried did not &C to the Yorkville
police court in the morning in response
to the obtained by Acting Inspec-
tor Hodgins. Instead, he sent n of his
counsel. I. M. Dittenhoefer. who had with
him the $500 check Mr., Conried gave for his
