BARRED FROM
OWN THEATRE

A funny incident occurred Sunday
afternoon at the new Majestic theatre
in Madison avenue.
Manager William J. Counihan,. of
the Plainfield theatre, and owner of
the local house. together with Michael
l.. Shannon, who is to be the local
manager, visited this city on pleas
ure trip, coming from Plainfield in
Mr.. COunihan's automobile. They
decided to visit the new local play
house, thinking it an ideal day for an
inspection with no workmen on hand.
The Majestic was reached but, to
his surprise, Mr.. Counihan was not
admitted. The new watchman at the
place, an old and painstaking man,
would simply not be told that Mr..
Counihan owned the place and no
amount of argument on the part of
Mr.. Counihan or Mr.. Shannon could
persuade the watchman to let them
enter. Messrs. Counihan and Shan
non were about to board their auto
and return to Plainfield, when they
espied woman living across the
street who knew Mr.. Counihan. She
tried her best to make it clear to the
watchman who the parties were, and
the theatrical men were at last ad..
mitted, after nearly an hours delay.

near the city hospital Saturday, May

some action toward giving the people
of that district better protection from

ST TRANGERS
SEARCH FOR
MONEY HERE

Two Asyrians garbed as priests are
canvassing this city for money to as
sist in church work in their home
country. The men have evidently
just arrived in America and cannot
speak word of English. BY some
it was thought they represented them
selves to be Armenian priests of the
Roman Catholic faith.
+ 1t was so understood at St. Mary's
rectory and Mgr. O'Connell has asked
the NEWS to state that these men
have no authority to collect from any
Roman Catholic family, that in order
to do SO written permission must
be secured from both the bishop of
the diocese and the local pastor.
These men have not this permission.
1t was stated that the men have
the endorsement of Recorder Pick
ersgill. The recorder, when asked
about them, stated that they went to
him for permission to go about the
city to get money. He could not
make them understand him so he
took them before an interpreter who
explained that the men seemed to be
high class Asyrians and that they
claim to be identified with the Episco-
pal church and are after money to
go back home to build schools and
churches for that denomination. The
recorder gave them each a brief note
and they departed.
Nothing more is known about
them. They have lots of papers,
most of them in some strange Ian
guage, but no credentials from any
body who is recognized as an author
ity hereabouts.
