City Attorney Bond called attention
to the state laws on requirements OF
picture theatres, among which is q
section regarding ventilation. and
specifying suction fans to bring In
air and wall fans to keep 1t moving.
Mayor Robbins suggested since the
members of the ordinance committee
had resorted to the expedient OF at
tending the picture theatres to ascer-
tain conditions, it would be wise
thing for the remainder Of council to
do so on some night whom the thea
tres are crowded.
Chief Miller asked exoneration from
blame in case fire broke out In any OF
the buildings, and the council did not
have the ordinance he suggested, re-
garding the maximum sale OF tickets
being limited to the seating capacity.
Frank Howells, member of the
ordinance committee of which Joseph
Waterman is chairman, replied that
conditions are not as bad as repre-
scented, but admitted the crowd which
usually stands in the rear waiting
for seats, should be kept in the lobby
until seats are provided.

Little was accomplished by the dis

irony which emanated from a number
of councilmen, and the body switched
to the motion picture theatres. Again
the police came in for their fair share
Of the blame.
The question arose over report OF
the ordinance committee that no or

that only the number of tickets could
be sold to fill the houses, and in the
committees opinion on no such ordi-

switched to the quality or alleged lack

PRINCE CAN'T ACT

SAYS IT WOULD BE UNSUITABLE,

MOURNING AND SORROW.

Washington. Oct. 2S,-The following
statement was issued today by Sir
Cecil Spring Rice. the British am
h&ssador:
"A statement has recently Appeared
in the New York Press to the effect
that II. r. III. the Prince Of Wales had
consented to be honorary sponsor of
ball to be held at the Biltmore
Hotel in New York, on November 2.
In aid of the Prince of Wales fund.
and had signified his intention OF send
ing personal envoy to be present.
The British ambassador at WASH
ington has received His Royal High
nesses' command to let 1t be known
that the above statement Is absolute
ly without foundation.
Sir Cecil Spring Rice wishes to
add that while the many generous Of
fers OF help to the wounded soldiers
and the bereaved families in England
are very highly appreciated. he feels
Obliged to disassociate himself from
any effort to raise money for those
purposes by means of an entertain
ment or festivity OF any kind. He Is
confident that any British subjects
who have generously offered to col
iect funds in this way will readily
understand hts feetzg that II would
be unsuitable for him to be connected
with any such festivities at this time OF
widespread sorrow and mourning"

OHIO'S GREAT BATTLE
FOR FREEDOM FROM RUM

Especial TO The Richmond Virginian.)
Columbus o.. Oct. 2S.-Wtth the
election less than week off the inter
est in the qGadranEular battle is very
pronounced. and the respective bat
tie lines are intact The four things
to he voted on are: Home rule on
the sale of intoxicating liquors, limita-
ton Of the tax rate and for the c1as-
sification of property for purposes or
taxation, to extend the suffrage to wo-
men. and prohibition of the sale,
manufacture for sale and importation
for sale of intoxicating liquors as Il
beverage. The Statewiders and the
stiffra gists are making a determined
aht, though It is not unified effort
entirely, for all suffragists are not
prohibitionists and all prohibition
lists are not suffragists, and the voter
can vote for one and against the
other. However. there is a marked
unity Of purpose on the part of
large contingent of the equal suffra-
gists and the Statawders, and the
suffragists will get strength from the
home rulers. or as Il would be call
ed in Virginia Local Optionists.'
Among the prohibition orators Is
a noted Virginia lady, Mrs Hortense
Ropp. known as the silver-tongued
orator Oh IEb W. ~ i. IL

held in Memorial Hall. here, on last
Saturday night. The hall holds ten

and optimism pervades the ranks OF
both the equal suffragists and the
