ALDERMEN WOULD STOP
 TICKET SPECULATION

New York, March 7-The committee on amusements on the board of alder men has unanimously voted to recom- mend the passage of two measures designed to do away with ticket spec uIation. One of the proposed ordin- ances would require theaters to print the price of the tickets on the face and to agree that they would not be a party to their sale above the face value.
 Another ordinance would give the police commissioner power to revoke licenses of all places that connived at ticket speculation.
