(Special to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Senator Han- na is slightly better to-day, but condition is still sufficiently grave to cause his physiclans much anxiety.

After a Ittle time he recovered his senses.

Museum, the Madison Square Theatre, the Princess Theatre and the Vaudeville Theatre. The reasonable requests of the Departments have been either neglected or ignored and further delay would be unwise. I therefore suggest, as agreed upon by the Departments, that you take action at once and forthwith close for the use of the , :blic the theatres above named. I have advised the Police Commissioner of the action and requested him to co-operate with you in carrying out your orders. Respectfully, GEORGE B. M’CLELLAN, Mayor. The attractions playing at the above houses are: Grand Opera- House, Lawrence D'Orsay in “The Ear! of Pawtucket;” Vandeville, “Can. Madison Square, “Ths Secret of Polichinelle;” Princess, Kyrle Bellew in “Raffles: Hurtig & Seamon’s, vaudeville; Huber’s, freaks. MAYOR M’CLELLAN EXPLAINS HIS ACTION. | specific reasons for closing the six theatres uamed. He said: | “It {s not necessary for me to go into details. Let it be understood that! § the managers of these theatres were unfair in their treatment, of the repre- manded. They did not act in good faith, and there was nothing else for the |} at once, They had ample time to make the changes, they had every con- | sideration. They chose to ignore it all. | “These theatres will remain closed until they have complied with the |f | recommendations of the Committee of Three—that is the Commissioners of | the Fire, | with these demands it will give the Mayor great pleasure to announce the fact to the public and allow them to reopen. | “Many of the managers—in fact, fairly with us and have obeyed our orders. Everywhere the changes that | | we recommended are now under way, except in these six theatres, which | we now close to the public. | “You can say for me that the city Is not going to be trified with in |this matter. To make sure that we ere not, I shall continue in office this committee of three, and once every month it will institute an investigation in every theatre {n the city, closing those that do not instantly act on the recommendations of the committee. ' M’ADOO WILL ENFORCE ORDERS. Police Commissioner McAdoo when asked what he proposed to do about | the order of the Mayor closing six theatres, said: “IT have received no orders yet, but you can say for the Commissioner of Police that if the Mayor orders any theatres in this city closed they will be closed if it takes every poltceman in the city to do it.” Dr. Darlington got back to his office at 1 o'clock and immediately made Mayor McClellan was asked by an Evening World reporter for the | {ia’h da sentatives of the city.

He sent sanitary policemen to each theatre with formal notice of the Mayor's order, and as- signed policemen to go to each theatre te-night to sec tnat it did not open. MANAGERS OUT WITH PROTESTS AND EXCUSES All the managers whose theatres are ordered closed came out prompt- ly with protests against the Mayor’s action and with excuses for their al- | leged failure to obey the orders v/ the city authorities, | “This comes a8 a great surpriee,” said Sam Shubert, proprietor of the Princess and the Madison Square Theatres, “I will get in communica- tion with Mayor McClellan at once and see what can be done. We have hur- ried to get things into shape and all we ask is time. I hope the action will not be so drastic as th John H. Springer, lossee of the Grand Opera-House, said: “It is an out- rage to close our house. We have twenty-elght exits, which is more than any New York theatre. Five demands were made by the city that we sub- | Stitute chairs for the gallery benches; put sheet iron along the fly gallery and stage rigging; have an automatic asbestos curtain; cover the shelves beneath the stage. “Were these changes made?” was asked. SAYS MATERIALS WERE ORDERED. “The materials have been ordered,” said Mr. Springer, “but have not arrived. Mr. George Gould, for the Gould estate, owner of the structure, told me to go right ahead and I have done so, but there has been go great a demand for such materials that our orders, although placed a week ago, have not been filled.” G. H. Huber, proprietor of Huber’s Museum, said: “If the Mayor says shut down, I suppose I will have to comply. Yesterday men began co put in a new brick, proscenium arch, and I have ordered an automatic skylight to go over the ‘stage. Everything else asked by the authorities has been com- plied with. “Because we are small we are easy picking. My museum seats lees than 600, and we have no trick gallery, The opening into the stage is only 20x18 feet. Our old skylight worked downward on pulleys, while the new one will operate in either direction, Mr. Huber said that he had already complied with many of the requests of the city authorities. “All of the exits have been !ndicated by red elec- tric lights. I have removed all the drapery from the boxes and theatre entrance, while an additional exit was made by the transforming of a win- dow into a door, The stationary gate at the entrance was taken away and the present ticket-taking arrangement can be cleared off the floor in a few reconds.” PROTEST FROM THE VAUDEVILLE. The Vaudeville Theatre is owned by Al Hayman and leased by Winchell Smith. “I do not think we will hmve to close,” said a young man who refused to state his name. “T think that we will be able to an- nounce before night that there will be no change in the present programme. There are but 250 seats in the orchestra and 120 seats in the baloony. Already we have cut extra ‘isles as required, removed the draperies, fire- proofed the scenery and contracted for an asbestos curtain. Is that. not enough?” Ben Hurtig, of Hurtig & Seamon’s, said: “Just because we are up has in Harlem they want to close us. Why don’t they get after the Broad- way firetraps?” When Mr. Hurtig was assured that there were other theatres on the list he was less angry. “I was told by Health Commissioner Darlington,” he said, “that I would have from two to three more days in which to com- plete the work I now have under way. There are fourteen men working in the theatre, and 1 am doing all that I to carry out the orders of the city authorities.,” ABEL ON THE WAY BACK 10 NEW YORK | paying attention to Miss Eleanor An- dereon’ under the name of “J.
