REPORT ON
THEATERS
IS READY.
Experts May Demand Remod-
cling of Houses at Meeting
Later in Day.

The report of the special COM
mittee Of experts appointed by Dis
trict Commissioner Keller to inspect
all theaters and buildings where
large crowds gather, will be pre-
scented at a meeting Of the commits
sioners this afternoon.
Numerous recommendations. in
GLIDING remodeling Of several build
ings, are made in the report Of
the experts, it was said this morn
ing.
The commissioners also have re-
ceived from Corporation Counsel
Francis M. Stephens new regula-
tons which give them authority to
take pre-emptory action in closing
any building that has been inspect
ed and pronounced unsafe and not
sufficiently protected against fire.
Just what action the commission
ors will take this afternoon on the
report Of the special committee Of
experts, is a matter of speculation.
None of the District heads this
morning would commit himself as
20 what was planned at the meet
ing.
Theater Man Protests.
Gust because one or two buildings
in the District are believed unsafe
or not fireproof Is no reason why
all other structures in the city
should be looked upon with suspi-
cion," declared one Of the local thea
ter managers this morning.
''If there is any building here that
does not meet with the regulations
of the building inspectors office, the
Commissioners should name q. The
apparent delay in action by the Com
missioners has caused much uneasi-
ness to hundreds of Washingtonians
who are depriving themselves of the
pleasure of seeing performance
Just because Of this investigation. 1t
also has caused the theaters much
loss. II there is anything wrong
with any one or two theaters, and
the District Commissioners intend to
close them or order their remodeling,
they should do so today. The public
Is entitled to know the places con-
sidered safe"

REMEDY FOR BOOTLEGGING.

Neto York bootLeggers, accord
ina to suit filed in Brooklyn,
.O0,tLdn't haze the least objection
to raids by the police ESQ far as
fear of the courts is conce1ned)
If the police didn't drink up all
the booze and even call tn friends
to help dispose of the stock.
In this particular case the cops
raided little store, personally
disposed of large quantity Of
booze, carried more dtUay to their
homes, ate a whole ham, and
treated everybody tohO Wdlked
IN to grub and cigars.
Judging from .Uhat zoe notice
of the Laws operations against
Bookkeeping in greater, NeU York,
zoe are of the opinion that the
cops took the snrest method OF
discouraging illegal establish
ments. Thirsty and hungry cops
who become lavish in their hOspi-
tality after a few drinks, and
treat the whole community, are
like boil Wesvils. quite destruc-
tue.
We suggest that the enforce
ment department Of the Govern
ment employ thirst squads. Moth
ing is liable to make a bootlegger
madden th1n to haze his goods
drank up right under his eyes
WITHOUT getting cent from 1t.
And the stuff North SIS per
