First Theatre Site
Still Under Dispute
Communicated.

(Communicated).
My Dear Editor:
As the Civic League ia actively in
terested and earnestly desires to hold
tn cOrIect historical facts, may | ask
space in your valuable paper to correct
p slight error in your article of last
evening sCapital, announcing the plant
ing of the Shakespeare Elm on the site
of the 81 first theatre of America -
there having been much controversy on
the subject, the public mind seems
more OF less confused.I therefore, wish
to give few historical dates.
First, the locality of the first theatre
built in Annapolis is unknown, thus /
take exception to the WORD" first"
Secondly. after consulting such well
known authorities as DR.. Elihu Riley :
Ancient City, Ridgelys Annals of An
napoIis and the Maryland Gazette, the
site on West Street, (the oldest known
locality was chosen as a suitable spot
1t was in this theatre ''on Saturday,
18th. of February 1869, new theatre
was opened by company of comedians
with Romeo and Juliet and Richard the
Third" quoted from DR.. Riley on page
l47, of the Ancient City.
While Annapolis claims the honor,
land | believe justly sol of having the
first theatre in America June 18th.
1852, prior to Williamsburg, Virginia,
Sept. 5th. 1852, it is known that a reg
ulafly organized company played in
New York as early as 1892" Whether
they were professionals or amateurs is
unknown. The third theatre, so often
spoken of as the first theatre, was To-
Gated on the present site of the Presby
terrain Church.

RAILROAD PLANS SOME
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
Rumors OF Improvements Contemplated Have at
Last Been Confirmed. Work Already in Pro-
gress on Track Extensions. Santa Fe viii Ex-
pend Thousands in New improvements

located at Clovis, N. NJ. Con-
struction was commenced in
1914, and the building was oc-
cupied on October s of the same
year. 1t is Of the most modern
fireproof construction and cost
$4,000. not including the furh-
ishings The equipment is COM
plete in every detail, including
refrigerating and ice. making
machinery capable of producing
one thousand pounds per day.
As at Mulvane, the hospital To-
cation at Clovis was chosen be-
cause the various lines from the
east, west, north and south pass
through Clovis, permitting pa
tients to be taken to the hospital
without transferring them from
one train to another. 1t has a
capacity of fifty patients. That
it is in q healthful location is
attested by the results obtained
in the treatment of the various
cases brought there
For the eight months ending
June 80, 1915, the Clovis hospital
treated 26S patients, a daily
average of II being cared for.
This was a highly credible shOw-
ing for a new hospital, and the
average daily number treated
during the past year mas been
gradually increasing. DR.. H. A.
Miller is in charge, assisted by
DR. A. H. Cecha.
The plan originally adopted
for obtaining the necessary fund
was the deduction of specified
amounts from the wages of all
employees of the raildroad COM
pany, varying from 25 cents to
81, according to the total month
ly wage, and that plan, having
been found to be satisfactory, is
still being followed. The Clovis
Hospital, aside from the value
of the ground, cost $S2. $40. 43.

DEMOCRATIC PR MARES
BRING MANY SURPRISES
Never Before Has There Been So Much Interest
Manifested Generally in Local Election as
That Last Saturday. Over 1900 Votes Cast.
Commissioners go Down to Ignominious Defeat

The scenes enacted at the polls
last Saturday were perhaps only
equaled once before in Curry
county and that was at the time
of the vote for the location Of
the county seat. The strongest
battle was waged over the choice
for sheriff. county clerk and
Probate Judge. While the latter
named Office does not come under
the class ifica.ion of a financial
plum. yet the issue was whether
the people would uphold or con-
denim the official action of TWO
of the members Of the old board
of county commissioners. They
took the latter course and nomi-
mated c. V. Steed by an over
whelming majority. The same
might be sad of the race be-
tween Cook and Hitchcock for
county surveyor. The latter
was generally conceded to have
been long affiliated with the
gang" and consequently came
in for a good strong defeat. The
office of sheriff was the big bone
of contention. The forces Of
Dean and Moye were about
equally divided and it was not
until the last returns were in
that the result was delinately
known. The surprise feature in
this race was that Moye beat
Dean by 10 votes in TeXico which
was considered a Dean strong.
