MR.. HARRITY's CASE.
senator Jones, Chairman of the National
committee, Submits the Correspondence
10 Members of the Committee.


COMMITTEES, Submits the Correspondence
to Members of the Committee.
Washington, April 9-Senator
Jones, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tlonal Committee. has submitted the
correspondence and other papers bear
Ing upon the effort 10 secure the re-
moval OF Hon. w. f. Harrity, of Penn
sylvania, from the position OF member
OF the Democratic National Committee
from that State to the other members
with view to securing their votes
upon the question.
The movement is the result of the
action of the Democratic convention of
the State of Pennsylvania and of the
executive committee of the Democratic
committee of that State, in which Mr.
Harrity's removal was urged on the
ground that he is not in harmony with
the Democratic party of the United
States, and Mr.. Guffey was recon-
mended as his successor. The infor-
nation regarding this action was for
warded to Senator Jones by Chairman
Garman, and Mr.. Jones was requested
TO take the matter up. The latter for
warded Mr.. Garman's letter to Mr..
reply in which he asserts that the
charges upon which his removal is
sought are unfounded and defends his
record as Democrat. Mr.. Harrity's
letter was then submitted to Mr.. Gar
man, who made no reply. These are
the principal papers constituting the
record of the case, which has been
sent through the mails in printed form
to the various members of the national
committee within the past day or two.
The members are requested to send
their votes by mail to the chairman
and the case will not be decided until
all the votes are received. Hence final
action probably will be postponed for
several weeks.

part remarkably well. Mr.. RosteH has
many essentials Of a great actor and in
the two plays presented during his en-
gaEemont he has proven himself a con-
scieutious student CT the legitimate drama
He has that art of cultivated force, at
all times held in reserve until necessary

| 1t was estimated the total sale Of tick
cts for the children's home entertainment
at the Auditorium last night was 200.
The directors think they cleared 500. 1t

vices. Thos. Shaw donated the use of
two pianos.
Shaw's orchestra is entitled to especial
mention. The grand march and fancy
hoop drill by sixteen pretty little girls
dressed in red, white and blue was one
Of the most delightful features of the
evening. Much credit is due Hattie Obrist
Clark for the admirable drill as she train
ed and drilled them till they executed
every vancouver perfectly. The solo and
choruses, Columbia, was beautifully rem
dered, led by Mrs. Clark who always
delights an audience by her singing. She
fully sustained her reputation as an ar
fist. Miss Hossfeld in the three tableaux,
Columbia, Liberty Enlighting the World
and Peace, with her splendid Grecian
features and perfect form, could not have
been eXcelleG. Mrs. Walden, accompanied
by Henry Huffman, rendered two solos in
her beautiful and charming manner and
was received by the audience with great
favor. Miss Wood gave a reading fol-
lowed by J. D. Caldwell in an inimitable
parody. The reading by Miss Millison,
The Romance of the Ganges, was the
work of a true artist, assisted by seven
of Paramount college girls, who grace
fully assisted in the tableau vivant.
f. B. Walden ably rendered that
patriotic song, THE Star Spangled Ban
ner," and awakened patriotic sentiment
in every auditor. The tableaux, Good
Bye and the Return, by Mr.. and Mrs.
Naylor, assisted by Carver brothers, was
affecting. Mrs. Naylor looked every inch
the splendid mother. Col. H. w. Lewis
rendered the solo, 1.-The Hungry Army
in his usual felicitious manner and re-
ceived much applause.
The duet by Mrs. Childs and Mrs. Hat
tie Obrist Clark. Brave Boys are They"
pleased the great audience and it showed
it's appreciation by prolonged applause.
