Such a report is absolutely without the least foundation and is not only annoying to the owner of the rink, but does Mr. Shlaes a deep injustice, ps he never for a minute contemplat ed securing the lot. He is here doing business in a legitimate manner with his theaters and attempting to se cure as good a living as possible, and l:e extends to anyone else the same privilege and never for a minute con- that he is making the rink a success.
