London, Feb. 3.-The war cabinet

About fifteen years ago one of the

BLAMES THEATERs
FOR SCALPINC
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Recommends that Eight
Houses Be Denied
Licenses.

James w. Breen, assistant corpo-
ration counsel, who has conducted
the city law departments investiga.
ton of the connection between thea.
ter owners and scalpers, has found
that eight downtown theaters have
been so open in their violation of the
anti.scalping ordinance that they
should be denied licenses.
Regarding Mr.. Breen's report Mr..
Ettelson said:
From the report It is apparent
that the best seats in many of the
theaters cannot be purchased at the
box Offices of theaters by the public
but on the contrary, must be bought
from scalpers ut price in excess of
that charged at the box Offices.
"Mr. Breen in his report says that
this Is especially true of the Colonial,
Palace, Majestic, Olympic, Illinois,
Powers, Blackstone and Auditorium,
and he recommends that licenses be
refused to the above theaters for the
year OF 1919.
In his report he states that the
managers and employees of the Grand
Opera house, La Sale, Garrick, Cort,
Princess. Studebaker and Woods have
during the last three months, made an
effort to cooperate with the municipal
authorities to make It difficult for
scalpers or brokers to obtain tickets
to sell at premium, and recon.
mends that these theaters be granted
licenses for the year 1919 In accord
ance with applications now on file.
In regard to the Colonial, Illinois,
Powers, Blackstone, Palace, Olympic,
Majestic, and the Auditorium | shall,
before any drastic measures are rec
| commended by me to the mayor, call
In the owners or managers, one at
q time, and inform them of the COM
plants that have been made and Of
the evidence we have gathered which
tends to support these complaints,
and give them an opportunity to pre-
sent, In writing or otherwise, any de.
Tense they may desire to make.
after this is done l will determine
what action shall recommend to the
mayor"

SAYS HARRISON
OUT OF THE RACE

James s. Mclnerney, clerk of the
Appellate court and one of the prin-
cipal hackers of the movement to
make Carter II. Harrison an indie.
pendent candidate for mayor, declared
for Thomas Carey for the Democratic
nomination for mayor
Mr.. McInerney's statement follows:
The situation In Chicago at this
time is of such nature that ! have for
long time seen the necessity of hav-
ing man of large capacity fill the
mayors chair and i'm view of this
thought was of the firm opinion that
Carter II. Harrison was that man;
as his great experience in municipal
affairs and his patriotism and ability
having been established and his hon.
esty unquestioned, myself with
large number Of other good citizens
Of Chicago felt that this construction
period after the war, when great
questions of public and vital impor
lance to the people of Chicago will
be solved that he was the man to I'LL
the bill.
However. since have just received
letter from Mr.. Harrison advising
me that his duties In France will not
be finished until after April I, and re.
questing me not to bother about the
mayoralty In his behalf, and after
looking over the situation in, the Dem
ocratic field. comprising two aspirants
and their respective abilities to fill
the position and the condition under
which their candidates. were launched
I have concluded that Thomas Carey,
with his vast experience in the city
council and as a substantial business
man, is better fitted to discharge the
duties of that Office than his oppo-
nent, and I have therefore concluded
to give him my humble support and
request my friends and all good citi'
zens to do likewise"

He estimates that the traction fund
