MANAGERS PUSH WAR CN SIDEWALK TICKET NUISANCE to Pass Will Urge Alder Evening World Measure to End ‘‘Hold-Ups.” i PUBLIC IS HELPLESS.| Speculators Are More Defiant Than Ever as Their Days Are Numbered. "The theatre managers of New York | who are helping The Evening World In the fight against the sidewalk ticket | wpeculators are preparing to send a/ strong delegation Monday afternoon to] the public hearing by the Board of| | Aldermen on the ordinance pre: ed by Alderman Redmond repealing th Present ordinance permitting the nul- wance, At the same time the speculators @re not idle, and they will be on hand in large numbers, fortified with law- yers to plead their case and try to show they should be adiowed to c tinue In thelr trade of charging Pageous prices for tickets and annoying theatregoers A trip along the side the most important theatres last n' gave the impression that the specu- Jators are not sufficiently impressed by the prospect of being put out of busi- yess to pause in thelr “holding up" the Worst at Hippodrome.

They cluttered up the walk all along the block occupied by the Hippo- rome, and if you managed to get by the group at the corner without your tat being jostled over your eyes or your shirt-front soiled as they’ thrust th tickets under your nose you were cer- tain to be sorrounded two or times before you reached the door of | the building. Theatregoers alighting from carriages | and automobiles met with no better | treatment than did those on foot. Bawl- ing at the top of their voices, the spec- wiators would rush about, thrusting thelr full fists of tickets before them and making a walk by the building al- | most like running the gantlet. | At Other Theatres. ato! | 4s not known. three |! ‘AUGUSTA SELB I MALE ATTIRE GAN WN PHILADELPHIA Waiter Here Wants -ermit to Open Fruit Stand as “Man.” Former Police Augusta Selb, the woman who ren @ restaurant for years in § | Posing as a man, because she sald @ had an ‘easier time ea in a woman, has and has applied to the police for permission to wear trousers and run a | fruit stand, | She also told the Philadelphia police | how her husband died’ nineteen years | ago; how she masqueraded as a man for years.
