THEATRICAL MEN
AND MAYOR OISAGREE
Question of Construction of City
Ordinance to be Settled
in the Courts.v
The misunderstanding between Mayor
McCarthy and tho theatre managers con?
tinues and when the case against the
Academy of Music Is called in tho Police
Court this morning, tho Mayor will con?
tend that the managers have violated the
ordinance by allowing' persons to stand
In the foyer, the space Imm-dlately In
rear of the orchestra and balcony seats.
The managers, through their counsel,
Mr. Allen O. Collins, will contend/ that
the sdnse of the ordinance Is not to pro?
hibit a reasonable number of persons
from stand'tng in the foyer, but that a
proper construction of tho law moans that
persons may not stand or sit In the aisles
of the theatres.
Pending a settlement of the qucs
Uon, however, tho managers will not al?
low any one to stand in any part of
either ot the theatres, and only persons
holding coupon Uckets will be admitted.
A conference was held yesterday af?
ternoon at tho City Hall, with the Mayor.
Manager Wells, Manager Rex, Chief
H/ulce and Fire Commissioners Frlschkorn
and Lecky present. The City Attornoy
was asked to attend, but he declined,
deeming It not the timo to give an opin?
ion on the matter. No agreement was
reached at the conf?rer ? ;
Manager Wells said last nif:lit that It"
would be suicidal In "him to "run up
against the law." He said that the man?
agement of both theatres desired to keep
within the law? and -to provide all com?
forts, conveniences and safety to the pa?
trons of the theatres. If their construc?
tion of tho ordinance In question Is a
wrong one. they are perfectly willing and
more than anxious to accept an?l abide
by tho proper construction.
"We want to do nothing but what is
right." said Mr. Wells. "Our Interests He
In this . city. Wo are tax-payers, and
havo much at stake and It. would be ab
surdfor. us to evade any of the laws. We
cannot agree with the Mayor on the con?
struction of the ordinance, but we will
carry out his sugg???tioii pending a settle?
ment, by the courts."
There Is a case against the Bijou Thea?
tre now pending in the Hustlng Court
The. case against the Academy, If Justice
Outchlleld decides with tho Mayor, will
also bo uppealed.

REMARKABLE CASE.
Mystery Surrounds Identity of
Man Who Died at Asheville.
(Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
ASHKViLLE, N. C, Novomuer oil.?The
mystery which surrounds the personality
of a man named C. H. Asiludth, who died
in this city aibout n. month "ago, remains
unsolved, ibut has rather-* been Increased
by the particular Inquir?a? by the persons
?whose addresses were found, among his j
effects after his death, and It Is now
the intention to publish his.picture in the
London (England) papers, In the hope
that some clue to'his'Identity "may bo ob?
tained. ? f
The dead man, who apparently was a re?
fined and well educated man, ?jamo to t-bis
city from Norfolk, Va., In a critical
state of health, accompanied by a phy?
sician, who. said that his -patient was a
waclthy man, of a distinguished English
family, and this impression was furthered
lby_thp man himself. During his Illness
ho wrote to parties In Norfolk, and on
his death inquiries were made of them,
'but no satisfactory Information was ob?
tained ,from that source. A telegram was
received from ah insurance agency, re?
questing that the body be embalmed and
held pending tho arrival of cable advices
from his relatives in England. This was
done, but as yet no Instructions In re?
gard to the disposal of the body have
ibeen received, tho insurance company
later, writing that the .?supposed rela?
tives' in England have advised them that
they know nothing whatever of the man.
It is Je3rned tf>at the man arrived in
Norfolk with the same air of mystery
about hlmi, as when he came here, and it
is the "theory here that some vi?ry power?
ful motivo must have actuated a man
who knerw he was about to die to cause
him to conceal his identity.
The name of Asqulth Is a noted one In
England, and It Is hoped that tho publi?
cation of the photograph that has been
taken of the corpse may lead to his iden?
tification.

j FIGHTING WAS KEEN.
World's Fair Officials Have No
Easy Time Deciding Awards.
(Special to ? The Times-Dispatch.)
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 30?"The friendly
competition" entered Into by the world's
manufacturers at the. Exposition has
turned Into a regular free-for-all fight,
and Its fury has centered around the type
writer award, which was finally decided
to-day, when the Exposition officially
awarded tho Oliver Typewriter the gold
medal as a mark of Its practical ' supe?
riority. Each exhibitor presented a score
of claims why he should get honors as
against all comers, and the competition
became so keen that each Arm felt the
entire standing of their business was tied
up In the receipt of the prized medal. All
the typewriter exhibitors being American,
they displayed a Bpirit of Yankee fight
that made decision hard. Somo of them
even went so far as to anticipate results,
and announced several weeks ago that
they had won in the contest, though the
official award was only made, to-day, and
as a result tho Oliver Typewriter people
are being congratulated on winning a
great victory.

HAVE FURTHER TIME.
Law Plainly Stated as to Pay?
ment of Poll Taxes.
Some confusion seems to exist aa to
the requirements in relation to prepay?
ment of poll taxes as ft qualification for
voting in next year's election. ? It has
been eroneously stated that yesterday
was the last day on which poll taxes
might be paid as a prequlsite to
voting. Asa matter of fact, thero will
bo no regular election In Richmond until
tho Tuesday after the first Monday i)
November,.. 190?. One may qualify him?
self to vote by puylng his cpaltatlon tax
any time up tp May, which is plx
months before election,
As prepayment of capitation tax at
least six months ?before elections Is re?
quired. It may be well to noto that a
primary election for United States Sena?
tor, Governor and other State officers
will bo hold In tills State lu August or
September next, and as tho Richmond
primary Is a legolized one the poll tax
must be -paid at least six months before
that primary. This would require puy
ment of poll tax before February or
March.
The only election held in the spring or
early summer now are those for Mayor
and Counollmen or Aldermen, which are
In June of alternate yours.
As these officials wore chosen this year,
there will be no spring or summer elec?
tion In this city In 1905, save the primary
In August or September.
