Prices of Admission.

The attention of all is directed to the fact that
an error was made in the published admission prices.
The bills and window cards stated that an admission
fee of $1.00 would be charged for automobiles, and
this charge has been eliminated. Grand stand seats
were advertised at rs cents extra, when in fact rs
cents will admit adults to both grounds and grand
stand. The general gate admission for adults will
be so cents, and children under fifteen years, 25
cents; grand stand admission, 25 cents. The gate
admission will be 25 cents extra for persons occupy
ing seats in automobiles, but no charge for the car
itself.

PALMER APPEALS
FOR RED LAWS
Urges Congress to Speed AC-
tion on Bill Now Pending
in Legislature.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan 4.-Unable
10 prosecute the so-caIIed parlor
bolshevists. long haired men and
short-haired women who encourage
agitators and promote sedition as a
pastime, Atty. Gen. Palmer Sunday
issued an appeal to congress for
prompt action on the bill submitted
by him several months ago which
would strengthen the hands Of the
department Of justice dealing with
American citizens considered dan
gerous to the nation.
Coming on the heels of the most
successful nationwide raid ever
made in this country on centers OF
radical propaganda, Mr. Palmer's
statement was regarded with unusu-
al interest by representatives and
senators here for the recOnvening Of
congress Monday.
Nab City OFFICIAL.
AT least one Of the men taken in
the raids is a city official and num-
erous others are natives OF this cOun-
try or have taken out citizenship
papers after long residence. 1t is
these that Mr.. Palmer desires to
handle through the federal courts
rather than TO leave ,hCir punish
ment 10 state tribunals and in the
absence OF a federal law he is un-
able 20 do so.
In order that the department Of
justice" Mr.. Palmer's statement
said, may deal forcibly. effectively
and quickly with seditionists who ar
American citizens but who are seek
ing TO injure or destroy the govern
ment. hope very earnestly that con-
gress Immediately upon recon
Nening on Jan. will enact into a
law a measure adequate 10 meet the
grave situation now confronting us.
No Reason for Delay.
There exists no reason for further
delay in the enactment of such a
law and I confidently expect that
there will be none. That seditionists
should be punished is denied by no
loyal citizen and that our present
laws are inadequate is questioned by
none familiar with the facts.
Several months ago in appearing
before senate committee / made
clear the fact that the department
OF Justice was unable TO proceed pro
perly against seditionists because OF
a lack of statutory definition of the
crime, and ] also suggested the kind
of a law which / thought would meet
