SCHAEFER PRAISES
CLARK GRIFFITH

The directors of the Washington
baseball club were mighty lucky to get
hold of Clark Griffith for manager next
season. He is by all odds the best avail
able man they could possibly have OBJ

interview the other day. Continuing
Schaefer said: II don't have to toss a

being attended to.

CHICAGO. July 17.-Progressiye
Republicans of Illinois who will sup
port Col. Roosevelt for the presidency
today voiced the opinion that there
would be no third party in the field
for state Offices. This view was
based upon the action OF the confer,
ence held here yesterday In refus-
ing to incorporate on the call for the
state convention a provision for a
state ticket. This action was imme-
diately followed by the withdrawal OF
Charles f. Merriam, former Repub-
iican mayoralty candidate of Chicago
and four other district representU
tives, who had been fighting for 4
third party ticket for every state and
county office. Merriam announced
that he would continue to fight for
progressive principles, but that he
would remain within the regular Re-
publican lines.

be held in Chicago. Aug. 3. and Ia spe-

THEATER CHARITY FUND
REACHES TOTAL OF S4,l0l
Not All are Contributors, but
Should be, Says Com
mitteeman Koch

City Treasurer Koch is seeking to
devise some. means whereby all the
theaters OF the city which keep open
Sundays viii contribute to the city's
special charity fund. A state law for
bids the operation OF the theaters on
Sunday, but some OF the larger the
aters established the practice OF CIV
ing q portion Of the proceeds or their
Sunday performances to charity.
The special charity fund was later
created by Mayor Breftmeyer, with
City Treasurer Koch as q member Of
the fund committee. The fund was
established February, 1910, and John
Anglin, secretary OF the committee,
reported, Wednesday that since then
the sum Of $4,1O1.20 has been receiv-
ed, and all but 1924 disbursed.
80 many new theaters have sprung
up and they do not contribute TO the
FUND.-" said Mr.. Koch. We cannot
compel them to contribute, because
the matter OF a voluntary contribution
Ia entirely separate from the law, al
though In the past we have eased our
conscience because theaters have con-
tributed TO this fun.
II is very unfair for some theaters
not to contribute when others. by SO
doing, really obtain certain privileges
for all. I know OF an instance where
a theater was contributing 500 year
to the fund, and because the city
raised the theater's assessment IS the
manager got angry and refused to con-
tribute any more TO the fund
