Civil War Enters Sedatc Town
With Debut of Two Ash Cans

chase Of two ash cans by the Fire De-
partment without having a requisition
for them filled out before the cans we're
delivered.
They also discovered that the town
manager had failed to have letters
painted on the town automobile, indi-
eating that it was the town car, and
that he had permitted a coal dealer
to fill the town coalbn with seven tons
of coal when the original order was
for five tons.
Councilman Ralph Sherwood cited
these things as examples of Hunters
failure to cooperate and said they were
marks of incfficiency. The town manager
replied that the ash cans had to be
bought in a hurry as the bottoms had
fallen out of the antiquated cans
which had been in use for seven
years by the fire chief. Having been
in town but few months he said
further that he had been attending to
more important business than having
the town car lettered.
Manager Hunter since coming here
had spoken before a number of women s
clubs and had made a good impression.
The women rose up in his defense.
Through binding snowstorm they
scurried from house to house, obtain

stein Passed From Family

The Manhattan Opera House, once
the pride of Oscar Hammerstein, has
been sold to The Scottish Rite Masons
of this city for sum said to be about
100000. The transfer of title will be
made Tuesday and the building will
be converted into temple,
Within a few months extensive al
teratons and improvements will begin
The building itself is to remain. Since
the death of Mr.. Hammerstein the
opera house has been the subject of
continuous litigation, and in 1921 was
sold to the impresario's two daughters
Mrs. Stella II. Pope and Mrs. Rose H
Tostevin, to satisfy a lien and judg-
ment.
The Manhattan Opera House was
opened by Oscar Hammers ,'n in 1905
with the intention of making it the
home of grand opera at popular prices
His plans were changed, however, and
the house began it's career with grand
opcraoof a ype intended by Mr.. Ham
IHeISIelH 10 TIVaI tHc iueSt cilOTtS OF
the Metropolitan
Many new operas were given for the
first time on the Manhattan stage, and
the house was the scene Of many brill
liant gatherings.
Mrs. Emma Swift Hammerstein con-
trolled the property for time after
MIR. Hammerstein's death, suit being
brought against her by the two daugh-
ters. Several weeks ago suit was
brought to have Mrs. Hammerstein
evicted from the three-room apartment
in the building, in which she had been
living. This suit was successful.
1t is the plan Of the Scottish Rite
Masons to leave the auditorium as it
is and hold assemblies and ceremonies
there. Upstairs will be constructed
rooms for a library, lounging quarters,
banquet hall and kitchen.
The Scottish Rite Masons' organiza-
tion now has 900 members, and they
have been looking for home for long
time, Several sites were considered and
negotiations partly completed, but they
fell through. The Rites home has been
recently in the Masonic Hall, Sixth
Avenue and West Twenty-t third Street.
1t is intended that the new building
will also be headquarters for all
Scottish Rite Masons of the Northern
jurisdiction with welcome always for
members of the Southern jurisdiction.
The sale marks the passing of the
last of Oscar Hammerstein's theaters
from the control of his family.
