 Theater Work Held Up.
 On Tuesday work on the new Crown theatre vase stopped by Building In- spector James F. Ryan. The order was issued after the fall of staging and the tumbling down of a section of an old brick wall. Inspector Ryan said he would not allow the construction work to proceed until after different plans have been submitted for the proper protection of the public and the work men on the joD
 brick wall had been left at eith- CT side of the proposed theatre build ing and it was the intention of the promoters to use these walls for the permanent construction. These were sidewalks of two old buildings It was doubted from the first if these walls would be substantial enought to hold tAAC IA0eif II OIl SlI uCtuIe- NnlCn II IS proposed to erect, and Inspector Ryan has been watching the walls for sev- eral days.
 Tuesday a portion of one of the walls fell. The building inspector observed this and determined that he wouId he lax in his duty if he allowed the work of building a theatre with the two walls standing to proceed. He ac- cordingly notified the foreman in the employ of the contractor 70 stop work rl H~H1 .l,..- Hartford, acquainting him with his stand
 Mir. Ryan said today: These walls must come 1oWn. It is clear that thev are not substantial enought and new walls with a frmer foundation under each must be built to insure the public against possible calamity some day"
 The building inspector said emphati- caIIy that his position was final.
