POPCORN VENDER
IN SUDDEN DEATH
Passing of George Christanthoponios
is Strangely Coincldent With
That of A. II. Thompson.
P0sTM0RTEM ORDERED BY JURY
Attending Physician is Unable to De-
termine Cause-Passes After Ill
Few Hours.

STRONGLY coincident with the
tragic death of Albert H. Thompson,
who conducted a popcorn stand at
Second avenue and Nineteenth street,
was that of George Christanthopoulos,
proprietor Of the popcorn stand at
Twentieth street and Third avenue,
who expired at II o'clock last night
at st. Anthony's hospital. He was
taken suddenly i'll three hours before
while in his popcron stand.
An inquest was conducted at
Wheelan's undertaking parlors this
morning by Coroner r. C. J. Meyer,
but after hearing the evidence the
jury determined it would be neces-
sary to hold postmortem to learn
the cause of the mans death. The
postmortem will be conducted this
afternoon, at which time the jury will
reconvene to render verdict ac-
cording to the findings Of the physi-
sian.
Chrisanthopoulos was on duty at
his stand as usual early last evening
and appeared to be in the best OF
health. At 1880 one of his patrons
stopped at the stand to find him sit
ting in cramped position on chair
AS he spoke to him and received nc
answer the patron became alarmed
and summoned the notice.
Being unable to restore the sufferer
to consciousness, the police summon
ed DR.. A. n Mueller The stricken
man was carried out into Spencer
square and revived. His nephew
James Kaffalos, who is employed in
the kitchen of the Rock Island club
was called and told to take charge OF
the stand. Chrisanthopoulos was
placed in the city ambulance and
taken to st. Anthony's hospital. Short,
ly after arriving there he lapsed into
inconsistencies again and sank
steadily until the end came at II
o'clock.

The distance is Approximately l79
miles one way. The National old
Trails road will be the official cours,
of the race. The fact that Gallup
people recently drove to Alt1quer-
que over this road on an automopiie
excursion, making the distance III
nine hours indicates that the nigh
way Is right for speed. Mr.. Leonard
will go over the route shortly to gam
er information for the promoters OF
the race.
The total purses. Mr, Leonard said
Yesterday. would be $1,000 rms
amount VIII pc Spnt iHfce Why's, w"
to the winner. $500 to the driver I'm
lshing second and 500 to the driver
finishing third.
Route Is shorter.
Because the course Is shorter IMAM
the Albuquerque Magdalena route

said Mr.. Leonard
A long list of entrants is probable.

tatlon, gained through the successful

ers came from widespread parts OF
the state for that event Because or
the success of that race fully as many

Broadway Rentals.

Inasmuch as Broadway rentals range
from $4,000 70 $4,000 a year. It is not
surprising, Gays the New York Tribune,
that many managers prefer 20 have
somebody else run the theaters, even
though il means q division Of the prof
its earned by a production. The $500
or SIS. 900, Of course, must be spread over
a period Of not exceeding forty weeks.
Adding the general operating expenses
to this amount, the cost OF maintaining
a theater during the season is frequently
as high as s, 500 a week. This amount
includes only the thester and its at
taches; the production is another mat
ter. Thus, when an attraction receives
81 per cent Of the receipts and the house
20 per cent, II Is necessary to play TO
average 10000 weekly before the own
er or lessee Of the thester can make any
money.
