Theatre Company Amends Charter

Theatre Company Amends Charter.
A general meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Community Company
Inc, was held at the company's of
fees at the parochial hall in this city
on the 10th inst, with large number
Of stockholders present in person and
represented by proxy. A resolution
was unanimously adopted increasing
the capital stock of the corporation
TO $50, 200. The original capital stock
Of the company was $4,000 and this
amount was fully subscribed shortly
after organization. Many Of the
stockholders being OF the opinion that
larger and more pretentious build
ing than was contemplated should be
erected, it was decided to increase
the capital stock so as to provide the
additional funds. It is estimated that
the building now in course of con-
struction will cost. when completed,
about $4,000. Convinced that the
venture will prove an unqualified f.
nancial success, there has been a con l.
slant demand among the stockhol-
tiers for more stock. Now that the
capital has been Increased, the share
holders will have an opportunity to
increase their holdings, and the bal
ance of the additional stock will be
distributed among the many other
people who have expressed desire to
the head of the corporation expect to
place the entire $4,000 additional
stock in the course of few days

Especial Food Expert Of The Evening
Worldly

Worldly
Tho efficacy of publicity was mover
moro clearly demonstrated than by
The Evening Worlds expose Of tho
gouginG by retailers In tho prices
charged for cabbages, cucumbers,
onions and othef vegetables, which
brought speedy relief TO consumers.
Threo OF the leading cham stores In
Manhattan, which were charging 60,
100. and 12hc. a pound for Texas
onions last wednesday when tho
first edition OF The Evening World
appeared ON tho street were forced
at once TO treat consumers decently,
aud by nom they wero retailing
these same Texas onions at &c. a
pound, a price that gave them n
profit OF morn than 80 per cent ovor
the Wholesale cost. The prices on
other snlada and vegetables were
lowered in like manner to correspond
with tho lower Wholesale cost.
Another decline has been recorded
In creamery butter. and consumers
will get the benSft Of The Evening
Worlds campaign for fair prices In
tho lower cost OF fancy table cream
cry. The wholesale market Is load
ed with fine butter that can be
bought at Sac ITO Soc. a pound, ana
only retailers in high class neighbor-
hoods arc paying more than SIC. to
5Sc., but some technical qualities are
charged out at a higher price. Fine
to fancy creamery butter can be re-
tailed at SIC, and some very fne
creamery from the Pacific Coast that
costs SIC in the wholesale market
can be retaiied at 5Sc. to 59c.
With prime dressed steers selling
at 17c In the Wholesale market, the
lowest price in years has been struck
The manager Of Jne of the large
Western houses when asked To give

ported a similar condition Of affairs,
and the surplus will have 70 go to the

large Harlem markets was not opti-
mistic regarding the consumptive de-
mand this week, and said: The

poor besiness, and with so many of
the consumers going out OF town
from Saturday morning until Tues
day, butchers will only buy the
amount OF meat that they expect 10
sell"
The wholesale market on Western
steers dropped another cent, yester-
day 20 17c., while the common 10 me
dium kinds are selling at 13c. to l5c,
a pound. Veal, pork, mutton ana
lamb are also lower in tho wholesale
market.
Thare Ia some Improvement In the
congestion In perishable freight at the
New York terminals, with fewer
loaded cars held on track than flr
several months past. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has acquired a tract
.uf 700 acres at Kearny. n. j., on the
Lincoln Highway, opposite the army
base. This was formerly occupied
by a lumber company and will have
trackage for $50 freight cars. and Is
now used as the terminal for South
ern fruits and vegetables. This Is the
first effective step taken by any Of
the railroads TO solve the problem OF
freight congestion.
The wholesale market Is piled high
with vegetables and prices are in
variaibly lower, some items selling for
less than cost OF freight and packing,
now potatoes being the oniy excep-
ton. The latter market advanced 81

NOTED WOMAN ON TRIAL.
Miss Whitney Charged With Violating
Criminal Syndicalism Act.

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 27-The case of
Miss Anita Whitney, member of women's
clubs, lecturer and social worker, who is
charged with violation of the California
criminal syndicalism act, was set for
trial in the superior court here today.
The law makes it a felony to advocate
violence as means of accomplishing a
political or industrial change.
She was the first woman in the state
arrested under the law. She was said to
be a friend and sympathizer of Miss The
odora Pollak who was convicted early
last year in the United States district
court at Sacramento, Cal, and later fined
800 for violation of the espionage act.
Authorities here charge that Miss
Whitney was an organizer for the Com
