STATEMENTS

Editor, The Palladium:
The statement contained in the
article signed Management Coliseum
Company in your issue OF yesterday
that any person whatever was ad.
mitted to the Red Cross dance with
out paid admission is false, and the
manner of it's insinuation is under.
handed and cowardly.
The statemet that banquet was
held and paid for out Of Red Cross
funds is a malicious falsehood, and
entirely worthy Of the mind that con-
ceived it. ., ST..
1t is a pleasure to state that Mr..
c. A. Gaar, the Manager of the Coll.
scum company is not responsible for
the aforementioned falsehoods. They
were written by NJ c. Henley.
There can be no justification in fact
for either of the statements mention
ed. as the truth could have been
ascertained without any difficulty.
Both statements are false and dis
tinctly libellous.
The gross receipts to date in cash
from the Red Cross dance, amount to
$577.16, from which is deducted $40
to the Coliseum company and SO paid

To the Citizens of Richmond:
In reference to the statement issued
Yesterday by the management of the
Coliseum and published in the Pallad-
ium, we have investigated the two
statements contained therein and find
them to be incorrect. We find that
there were no free admissions and
that none of the funds we're used for
other purposes.
In making the charge Of $40 for the
use OF the Coliseum, we felt that
amount would only cover the cost for
the one night and to have donated
the full $50 would have been unfair to
the other stockholders.
Each stockho older of the Coliseum
will be called upon for a personal
donation and we expect each one to
give what he feels he can. We be-
lieve the Red Cross campaign is for
a very worthy cause and will gladly
join in doing what we can to make
it a success.
