SEATS NEARLY ALL SOLD
FOR THE BARNUM BENEFIT

Manager Jack Blackwood of the Be-
lasco theater yesterday announced that
of the seats on sale for the Barnum
benefit only four rows on the first floor
remained unsold and that the seats in
the balcony and gallery were fast be-
ing taken up.
The program has been completed and
will be a wonder. George Ade, the
playwright and humorist, will make his
first appearance on any stage at the
benefit. and while his address will be
short one it will be full of the Ade-
isms for which he is popular.
Rev. Robert ]. Burdette, whom every
body knows is one of the most efficient
funnysmiths in the country, will be an
other star OF the program.
OF the other lights the only objection
that can be made, and IL Is one that
does not amount to much, is that there
might be a few more women on the
program. Miss Alice Nielsen, the sweet
voiced soprano OF the San Carlos opera
company, has rendered her services for
the occasion, and her singing alone Is
worth the price OF admission.

POOL ROOM MEN
IN COMBINATION
Form Organization to Elevate Moral
Tone Of Business and Inclden-
tally to Protest Against
Increased License

Pool room men are combining for the
betterment of their trade and plans
now being outlined include the taboo
ing of all gambling in the pool rooms
the Punishment of Japanese from the
business and the equalizing of the
license on pool tables.
AT a meeting held at Eagles hall
Saturday forty-five proprietors of nooI
rooms We're present and a committee
was appointed to draw up a constitu
ton for permanent organization. Mr..
Allen was appointed temporary chair
man and Mr.. Schenck secretary. Mr..
Simpson was appointed chairman of
the committee on constitution.
The present taxes on pool room own
ers are over 5000 more than last years
and they feel this is too much. At
present the rate is $3.50 a month for the
flrst four tables in a room and 81. so for
the rest. The owners wish to have a
uniform rate of $3.50 a table prevail and
the committee will consult with the citv
authorities on this phase of the ques-
tion.
Then. too, they declare that their
business is not so bad as 1t has been
pictured, and they want to raise the
moral tone of the places by wedding
out Objectionable characters them
selves. A raise in rates is also being
considered and will be taken under
consideration. The owners feel that II
the present prosperity demands a raise
In their taxes 1t ought also to bear an
additional raise in prices.
