citation, which eontended that the struc-
ture was not only far from being an
ornament, but was really an eyesore
and an infringement on the building
line, 7as established by the city ordt-
nances. After looking the situation
over MIR. Shipman decided that it was
a clear violation of the ordinance, and
he gave the owner of the building,
David C. Seymour, five days in which
to take the balcony down.
Mr.. Seymour consulted his lawyers,
MacLear & Fort, who in turn con-
suited the city's legal department. The
result was thai Mr.. Shipman was in
structed to give the owner of the build
ing thirty days notice to be safely
within his rights. This was done, and
the thirty days will expire Monday
morning at s o'clock.
Mr.. Shipman said today that he pro-
posed to go ahead with the work Of
removing the balcony as soon as the
time limit is up, and as his depart
ment has no other equipment for hand
ling such a structure he proposes to
utilize a fire truck n take the thing
down. From the appearance of the
balcony today the owners have not
made any move to observe the order
issued a month ago, and as Mr.. Ship
man has not been served with any
restraining order it looks as though

THEATRE COLLAPSE
WILL COST ABOUT $4,000.
MasOns and IrOnwOrkers Blame
Each Other for Damage.

Examination today of the collapse of
masonry and mammoth Orders at the
Jewish Theatre, in the course of con-
struction at Charlton and Montgom-
cry streets, reveals the fact hat the
damage amounts to more than $4,000.
Whole portions of the structure, which
covers a large plot, which will cost
more than $50. 900, will have to be re-
built. Inspectors from the building de-
partment, in charge of John Nungesser,
were early on the scene, and gave
directions for snoring up the walls,
fearing further disaster. In the mean
time the masons are busy placing
blame for the collapse on the shoulders
of the iron-workers, with the iron
workers hurting 1t back as fast as it
anne.
The trouble began yesterday after
noon when two 100-foot steel t~russes,
each weighing three tons, tumbled from
the piers at the top of the structure
where they were placed to support the
roof. They did not fall to the ground,
but tore away great masses of brick
work and endangered h lives of a
score of workmen.
Guy lines calculated to prevent a
further collapse were secured to the
Orders and various parts of the struc-
ture. The strain proved too great, for
at II o'clock last night many yards of
brick-work on the facade Of the build
ing were torn away, falling to the
ara,,n1 NTH q crasb that aroused and
greatly alarmed the sleeping neishbor-
hood. Sc far as could be learned. there
was no damage to surrounding prop
erty.
Samuel Deutsch has the contract for
the brick-work. The Goeller Iron
Works is installing the structural steel

husband works at night, and Mrs.
Effert, in order to be free to amuse her
self, has been in the custom of locking
little Robert in the chicken coop with
the chickens. Thursday, the authorities
alleged, she locked the child in at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. He was res
cued six hours later to the clucking sur
prise of his feathered companions, who
had grown used to him. At an early
hour, when the mother appeared. she
was taken into custory.
