BeeAess Day Now
An Accepted Fact
Restaurateurs Find Patrons
Reconciled to 1t, and
Hotels Will Follow

The Society Of Restaurateurs, Of
which J. J. Cavanagh is president,
made yesterday the second beehess

diners Of the necessity of saving beef

cd substitutes.
Except for poultry, no meat vas TO
be obtained in any Of the restaurants.
The hotel men who instituted the beef
less day last week nave taken the
restaurateurs' plan under considera-
ton. and probably will adopt II eventu-
tlly. An entire revision of their Gull
nary and buying systems will be nee
ossary. however, and delay IL inevi-

Reports were received from San

By all the laws OF chance, the rath-
or stupid farce that underlies "Furs
end Frills" At the Casino Theatre
ought to have turned out brilliantly
once il was retailored in the current
musical fashion. But the knees OF
the gods never run true TO form in
the theatre. and Mr.. Hammerstein's
venture appears to have been born at
a moment when they were shaking. Or
rather than blame any of the Fates,
say that "Furs and Frills" is without
wit in all of its two acts 20 recommend
il, either in its writing or its playing,
and can claim attention only by rea-
son of the Light and cheerful music
that SilviO Helm wrote to accompany
IL. The melodies are, indeed, roses
blushing on a desert air. for what sur
rounds them is dull. dun and empty OF
inspiration. IL was not OF my fortune
to see Goat Tales" the original Of the
affair al the Casino. but, II at all il
lesembled the heavy frolic OF last
night. | must, even az this late day,
call my fortune good.
The narrative of "Furs and Frills"
hangs about coat. II is a very beau
tiful coat and i one of the bright
spots Of the performance, bespeaking
an opulence each Of the many times ~
appears on the scene that only the i'm
imaginative paucity Of the text bellies.
II involves several wives and several
husbands and a stenographer in the
usual Misunderstanding, tries itself on
the back Of each Of the estmable la
dies. and even after It's laborious wan
derings ends the second act quite as
fine and eye-taking bit Of stuff as II
started out 10 be in the beginning. OF
those who are in its path. so much
cannot be said. but of them Ernest
Terrence as stingy Scot and Ruby
Norton as Stenographer appear the
most promising Miss Norton sings
with a whole-hearted gusto that is re-
heying in the midst of so much that
is tagging. Beatrice Allen. who takes
on some importance IN the cast by rea-
son Of her ownership OF the coat IN the
beginning of the first act, IS pretty and
graceful. but scarcely can sing or dance
to the same standard.
On the other hand. the chorus IS
small enough to be interesting Is well
set up and costumed. and Mr.. Ham
merstein has varied the usual wooden
courtenancc Of the chorus man by the
employment of youngsters. The set
tings in the first act are inviting, show
ing q blue glass dome with snow swirl
ing outside. The second act is an at
tempt at smart decoration. but ends
only in being kind of purple spotted
ness.
incidentally. for the third or fourth
time Of still early season the fash
ionable scene is put in Washington
Square.

The tense relations between pro-

in the first act Of war yesterday. Two
men were arrested in The Bronx for

According to Commissioners Onion

Some time ago a number OF small

The Havemeyer refneries OF the
American Sugar Refining Company IN

indefinite period, throwing more than
two thousand men out Of work. This is
the second large sugar refinery in
New York 70 close in the last three
weeks
As in the case Of the Arbuckle re
fnery. which closed down on Septem-
Der i9. the reason given IS the in
ability Of the. retineries TO obtain raw
sugar. However. in statement issued
bv Ralph S. Stubbs. general manager
Of the operating department OF the
Havemeyer rehneries, yesterday, II
was said that there was nothing un-
usual in the closing Of one Of the big
refneries Of the American Sugar Re
fning Company, the only difference
being that il decided to close the Will
lam sburg plant this year instead or the
one in New Jersey, as Ia customary.

done in order to make repairs and i'm
movements. The company IS retain
Ing on us payroll all the mechanical
force and so per cent OF the laboring
force. 1t is endesvoring TO obtain work
as harvest workers for those thrown
out OF employment.
Earl D. Babst, president OF the
American Sugar Refining Company,
said last night that there was no rea-
son why the closing OF the refinery
should have the slightest effect on the
price of sugar, so far as local con-
sumers are concerned.
