CLOSING UP FRANCES TAVERN.
After May i 1t VIII he Merely . Historical
Landmark.

Fraunces's Tavern will pass out OF active
business existence on May 1. After sat
isfying both the thirst and appetite Of men
whose names are famous for nearly a oen-
fury and a half, this old tavern at the cor
ner of Broad and Pearl streets Is to be-
come merely a show place. The present
~lessees, Glintenkamp & Precht will turn over
their lease to the Sons of the Revolution.
The exact date Of the old tavern's start
Ia obscure. The first authentic date in
this connection is May 8, 1893, when the
Chamber of Commerce Of New York city
time owned by Bolton & Sigel. and the
extract from the minutes of the Chamber
Of Commerce reads as follows:
May 5, l7~es-ordered and resolved that
the member Of the Chamber do meet at
Bolton a Slgel's precisely at the usual hour
70 o'clock. Tuesday. the eth day OF December.
1893.
Resolved, A proper room for the meet
ing Of members Of the Chamber OF Com
merce Is to be provided and the treasurer Is to
have bread and cheese. beer. punch. pipes
and tobacco provided at the expense OF the
members present. so that it doth not exceed
one shilling each man.
1t was Frances Tavern on December
4, 1883, when In the "long room Gen.
George Washington bade farewell to his
Generals, but previous to September 20,
1910, the place bore the name OF the Queens
Head Tavern, near the exchange, On the
latter late Samuel Fraunces took possess
sion, and for the first six years his road
was easy. Then came the Revolutionary
War, and during Its progress the tavern led
q %precarious existence.
The tavern passed through many hands
until fifteen years ago, when Glntenkamp
& Precht became the landlords. Charles
G~lintenkamp at once began TO unearth
ali Of the historical articles he could find
about the building. Former owners had
not been 80 careful, and many articles OF
great value had been destroyed or ruined,
these as possible, withthe result that to-day
Frances Tavern resembles very much

@. F. U. QUITS THE DRAMA.
VIII No Longer support MIR. Hoppe in HIS
Theatre OF Labor.

Theatre OF Labor.
The dramatic critics Of the Central Fed
Grated Union decided yesterday to cut
loose from the Theatre OF Labor. julius
Hoppe, the founder Of the Theatre Of Labor,
waited outside TO hear the result and dis
appeared after he learned OF it.
The matter came up IN a report Of the
executive committee declaring that the
institution was inimical to labor and rec
ommending that members OF the Theatre
of Labor who were delegates TO the unions
in the c. F. U. be directed to withdraw.
When the recommendation Of the ex-
ecutive committee was read q number Of
the delegates violently opposed the recon-
mendation. Delegate Abrahams Of the
Pressmen's Association declared that it
was the height OF folly to cut loose from
the Theatre Of Labor.
~The other theatres are given over to
the c~apitalistio plays he said, 'and we
need a theatre for labor plays. The other
theatres poke fun at the workingmen and
at the unions, and we want the dignity Of
labor upheld
The delegate then proceeded to denounoe
sTbe Music Master which be said was a
distinctly capitalistio play. 1t made the
walking delegates tough characters and
made it appear that they were arrogant
and o~yerbearing. Abrahams said that
Richard Wagner was a union man and a
friend Of the working people. The members
OF the Actors Protective Union, which
objected to the Theatre Of Labor, were
only vaudeville artists, he said, and a
nothing to do with the legitimate drama.
: Delegate De Veaux of the Actors Pro-
taotiv Union said that the members OF
his union knew their own business. They
did not want any instructions from out
siders. The Actors Protective Union was
the only bona ide labor union of actors.
He asked what Mr.. Hoppe was anyway.
Was he a Snowman? he started in, De
Veaux said, with plays by Oscar Wilde,
and her when they did not take tried to

raj Iron Workers, who was a delegate to

The delegates began to get personal
and the chairman declared that he would
cut off debate on the subject, Michael
Fitzgerald Of the Letter Carriers, said that
II any one wanted to see q Theatre OF Labor
he would onfV have TO come to q c. F.. U.

was Surprised by the shout Of applause
Finally the recommendation Of the

SAVANNAH, GA, February TO-
Major casslus II. Gillette, United States

In the trial of tho Greene Gnynor case.
Major Gillette said on tho stand that
the mattresses sunk by the defendants
In Cumberland Sound were no more
than bundles of brush; that they were

Price that tho government paid for them;
that instead OF supporting tho stones

DO you mean, Major, to say that the
government paid for eight mattresses.

court.

government never paid Greene and Gay
nor Tor those mattresses at ALL
Major Gillette said that the govern
ment had been paying at the rate of
*5,tCO for something it could have secured
In the open market for sfO. That, he
said, was what the work done by Greene
and Gaynor under Carter, amounted to-
All the advertisements. specifications,
contracts, etc. were but part of the
scheme, he said. They were intended
to confuse tho main issue, to veil the
real purpose, which was to make the
government pay nine prices by shutting
out competition and leaving no alterna-
tive to the acceptance of Greene and
Gaynor. the contractors Without any
authority. Carter purchased n brush
heap and paid for properly constructed
mattress of eight courses, said Major
Gillette.

a letter from Carter to Colonel Craig

he dlsapproved the use of log and brush
near Fernandina. Florida.
Major Gillette explained that the Te-
redo is extremely plentiful in Fernandina
waters and exceedingly destructive to
wood. The governments contention is
that. despite this knowtedge and view of
Carter, thes latter recommended logs and
brush for Use in the jetty work.
