WORK IS STARTED
ON WELLS' THEATER
Workmen began Monday morning
clearing away the ground at the corner
pf Carnegie Way and Cone street In
preparation for the laying of the foun
datlon of the new theater to be built
by Jake Wells and his associates. As
soon aa the buildings are torn down
and removed the excavation will begin
and within a few weeks the building
will have assumed a definite shape.
At present Jake Wells, who was In
{he city over Sunday to see to the
preliminaries In connection with the
work on the new theater, Is complet
ing his new house at Chattanooga. The
structure In that city la practically
ready for the opening In the fall, and
by the time the workmen are done
there the contractor will bring his men
to Atlanta and put a large crew at
work on all details'of the local struct-
uie. A heavy cement floor Is first to
be laid and after that the work can go
rapidly forward. Mr. Wells la confi
dent the people of Atlanta will have
an opoprtunity of Inspecting the new
theater for the first time on Thanks
giving day.
The new Wells theater on Carnegie
Way will be devoted to the same class
of theatrical performances which have
attracted thousands to the UIJou for
the past four seasons and with the In
crease In seating capacity the comfeve
of the patrons will be greatly Increased.
The Grand theater wll maintain the
same high standard which has char
acterised the productions In the past,
while the old Bijou theater wll be used
for some class of attractions which has
yet to be derided upon. It Is probable
that continuous vaudeville or high
class burlesque companies will be seen
there the coming winter.
There was a scene of tumult at Pied
mont.
Pour thousand people had .paid out
good coin to see Atlanta wallop the
Memphll, and they didn’t see It. They
didn’t even see the finish of a hard-
fought game, for In the ninth Inning
Umpire Campau, acting under Instruc
tions from the management of both
clubs, stopped the battle to allow Mem
phis to catch the train.
The fart that the game was to be
called early had not been extensively
advertised. In fact, few but dyed - In.
the-wool fans knew It.
And so when his umpc, who had been
having the very deuoe of a time of It.
signaled that all was off, a swarm of
angry men bussed out onto the Held,
after his umps' scalp.
Atlanta players and Chief Joyner
quickly ran out, surrounded the trem
bling Campau and escorted him to the
dressing room, protecting hltn from
harm.
The crowd still hung around, grow
ing more and more angry with the
passage of each minute.
Little knots of boiler-makers, shop
hands and other hefty specimens of
humanity were clustered about. Inside
and outside the park, waiting for the
appearance of the unlucky Campau.
"Here he comes!” they shouted.
A man In a blue suit of clothes,
little hand satchel, came out from no
body knew where. He had a heavy
black mustache.
"It’s Campau.’ they muttered. Then
they closed In on him.
The man In the blue clothes looked
up Inquiringly, then was startled.
V threatentni
Hit lilm,” shouted one
outside.
"Smash the robber In the face,'
hissed another.
’’He used to play In New Orleans, 1
grunted a third.
Then they came right In on the man
In blue clothes, and trouble was about
to odfcur. One of the hoodlums bran
dished his arms In air, all that was
neded to set the bunch of men In
frenxy of anger—
When the man In blue said:
"flack up, you thugs, I'm not the um
plre.
They scattered, for It really wasn'
the umps.
It was Chlpley Setse, Chief Joyner’s
private secretary.
But he Just did escape having a very
bad half hour.
