HE theatrical firm of Belasco & Thall of this city {s now in abso- lute control of nine of the largest playhouses west of the Missour! River. The final arrangements were completed in Chicago yesterday by Mark Thall, whose brief telegram to his partner, Fred Belasco, informs him that the two playhouses required to complete the chain of theaters in the Belasco & Thall circuit have been acquired, The telegram is as follows: CHICAGO, June 24. Fred Belasco: Have arranged two theaters. Leave for New York Wednesday. MARK THALL. The acquisition of these two houses per- | fects the arrangements which the enter- prising firm has had long under contem- plation in order to place it in a position to provide the very highest class of en- tertainment at popular prices. Fred Belasco, in an interview at the | Central Theater last evening, had no hesi- | tarey in announcing the success of the | irm’s necotiations. “Don’t imagine for an instant,” said | Mr. Belasco, “that we have formed a | trust in order to control territory or freeze out other combinations. In having a large number of theaters we will be enabled to deal better with our patrons. KX E. | | MEMBERS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO THEATRICAL FIRM THAT HAS SE- CURED FULL CONTROL OF NINE ACTOR WHO WILL BE GENERAL D x5 THEATERS, AND THE VETERAN IRECTOR OF THE NEW CIRCUIT. - San Francisco is pecullarly situated in the theatrical way. It costs money to bring the best attractions out here and then a constant change of faces is demanded, Su 1 them a short season. But now we are so placed that we will be able to offer long engagements and at the same time keep bringing_out new people. Then another thing. Take the scenic features in an elaborate production like ‘Uncle Tom's | Cabin’ They entall a heavy outlay as { things now stand. With our chain of theaters all can be shipped on to the other houses and with very little expense made to serve in the production at them. At NEW EXGHANGE DOPTS LIS Merchants of the City Hold Well-Attended Meeting. About 300 of the leading merchants and business men of this city met at the rooms of the Merchants’' Exchange yesterday af- teruoon to consider and adopt the code of by-laws prepared to govern the new Mer- chants’ Exchange, which it is proposed to form, and which is intended to take in all the commercial bodles of San Francisco. The by-laws had been prepared for some days in advance by a committee appointed for that purpose, and the charter mem- bers had been furnished with printed cop- fes. The meeting was called to order by George W. McNear, president of the pro- vislonal organization, who stated very briefly the objects of the gathering. The first business was the naming of a com- mittee of three to nominate a ticket to be voted for at the election to be held on July 16 to choose a permanent board of directors for the new exchange. On motion of E. B. Pond, the chairman was directed to name a nominating com- mittee of three, with the recommendation that it nominate as directors the sixteen entlemen who at present constitute the goard of directors of ,the exchange. These entlemen are Henry F. Allen, Willlam .5ubcock. Thomas Brown, Andrew Carri- an, B. Faymonville, E. W. Hopkins, L. Kauttman, ~ George 'W. MoNear, . Leon Sloss, Claus Spreckels, William H. Crock- er, R. P. Schwerin, ¥. W. Van Sicklen, Willlam H. Talbot and F. W. Zeile. Adoption of By-Laws. The meeting then proceeded to the adop- tion of the by-laws for the new organiza- . Inasmuch as all the members had been supplied with coples and had read them carefully, it was moved by A. Ger- berdipg that ihe reading be dispensed with. General Thomas Clunie objected to this method of procedure, the matter be- ing somewhat important, and the secre- tary was instructed to read the pamphlet, the members to follow him and make any objections they might consider well taken after the reading, Secretary Friedlander had got as far as the fourth section, when General Clunie discovered that he was the only man pres- ent who had not familiarized himself with the by-laws, and he arose to withdraw his objection, Further reading was then di; pensed with, and after an objection to the clause allowing the board of directors to spend money for purposes of the ad- vancement of the trade of the ety had been made and voted down, the by-laws as a whole were adopted, They are de- signed te cover the wrnla purpose of tc- new organlgation, which 1s to unite the business eommunity of Ban Franciseo more closely and to insure the harmani- ous working of all influenees tending te the inerease of its eommerelal greatness.

Captain Seymour and his men are searching for a lone robber who has been operating south of Market street. The latest victim s J. E. Murphy, an attor- ney, who liyes at 255 Natoma street. Shortly after 1 o'clock Wednesday morning Murphy was held up within a few feet of his home and made to dis- gorge at the point of a revolver. The robber, after taking all the money he had, amounting to $6 G0, ordered him to make himself “scarce” under penalty of being killed. “I had left some friends at Fourth street,” sald Murphy when telllng his story to the police, “and was Wwithin a short distance of my home when the rob- ber, who was masked, ordered me to throw up my hands. Realizing that he meant business, I.did as he told me, and as my hands went up he proceeded to search my pockets. Finding some silver in the pocket of my trousers he ordered me to ‘“‘shell out,” which I did. After I had handed him the money he noticed that I had a watch and demanded fit. “I reluctantly passed him the time- plece, which {s worth about $2, but after exemining it he handed it back to me with the remark that he was not in the habit of taking ‘cheap stuff.’ He then ordered me to move on and I lost no time in reaching my home.” Murphy describes the robber as being about five feet eight inches in height and weighing in the neighborhood of 150 soun s. The description of the robber ts that of the man who is responsible for several hold-ups committed on the South Side during the last .two weeks. Verus cures piles or $50 reward.
