LOTTERY CHARGED.
c. ". Petersen Accused Of Violating Law By
Forming Suit Clubs.

G. W. Petersen, the well known
tailor, is charged with conducting
lottery by forming suit clubs in which
the members pay so much weekly and
draw suits by lot. The case is in
municipal court and hearing is set
for tomorrow. The case against Mr.
Petersen was brought by Village At
torney Maurer on complaint of some
of the clothing dealers of the village.
The case has attracted considerable
interest from the parties connected
and the fact that suit clubs are so
common all over the country that the
public generally had no idea they we're
contrary to law.

MRS. L'MoYNE To-N1GHr

There is no doubt but the appearance
of Mrs. LeMoyne at the Grand tonight
in "Among Those Present" will be a
theatrical treat. and it will really be a
shame if she is not greeted by crowd
ed house. The Courier ournal Of Tues
day said III regard ID her.:
without discussing in detail the So
cial questions, involved in her play. there
is nc doubt of the extravaganza and
other follies that it ,illustrates-it can be
stated that Mrs LeMoyne makes an in
terestiug study of the chief figure. 1t
would be difficult to find one of this
gifted woman's contemporaries who
could make the portrayal so vital with
human nature, so finished, SO natural,
Sc splendid in every phase. The comedy
scenes are carried with a lightness of
touch that are retreshingly delighting -
The Times said: "Mrs. LeMoyne S
work is marked by ease, grace and the
subtle comedy which is one of her chief
charms. Her reception was enthu las
tic. Her company is of the merit SIZE
always requires.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRITICS PRAISE MRS. LEMoYNE.

1 CklIICS PRAISE INKS. LEMOYNEs
No actress in the present generation
has received more spontaneous and en-
thusiastic praise from the severest
critics of the land than Mrs LeMoyne
who will be seen in this city at the
Grand on Friday night, in Glen Mac
Donougn's new play, "Among Those
Present +" The roster of critical COM
mentators on her work includes all the
principal newspapers in the United
States in the cities which she has visit
ed since her stellar career, and all have
been highly commendatory. Clyde
Fitch, the well known playwright, de-
declares that's is MRS. Kendall and
Mrs. John Wood rolled into one."
The New York Sun said: "She is
much like Mrs. Kendall in the distinctive
ness and naturalness of her methods. F"
The New York Dramatic Mirror said:
"Mrs. LeMoyne has made one of the
most pronounced comedy successes since
the days of Agnes Booth in The Young
Mrs. Winthrop" Yet with all these
complimentary comparisons the efforts
to classify Mrs. LeMoyne are Lot COM
pleted. Her position upon the stage is
unique, and by virtue of her strong per-
sonality, her delightful elocution. her
spontaneity and n4turalness, she re-
mains in class ali her own. Prices

WAS PRAYING FOR HIS MOTHER
Crown Princess Louise's Missing Sor

George eldest son of Crown Prince Fred

several hours his tutors and the household

rumor was that the prince had been alb
Quoted by agents of his mother, the former
Crown Princess Louise; but the boy was
found praying in the cathedral that his
mother might return.
The socialists are using the crown prin-
cess episode for political agitation. and the
unpopularity OF the Saxon monarch appears
to have been considerably heightened. The
carriage of Princess Mathilde, sister of the
crown prince, was surrounded by crowd
in Wilsdruffer strasse one OF the principal
shopping streets of Dresden, one day last
week and cries of "Give us our Louise,'
were raised. Princess Mathilde was SO
frightened that when the police reached the
scene she was escorted into a shop and
eventually went out by the rear door and
took another carriage home. Several SINH
lar incidents, showing the unpopularity of
.he royal house, have occurred since the
agitation caused by the elopement of the
Princess Louise, but none of them has been
mentioned in the newspapers of Dresden.

NO SELECTION MADE.
Commission Inspects Site for Repre-
sentatives' Office Building.

The commission appointed to select site
for the new office building for the House of
Representatives met today, but reached no
conclusion. Adjournment was taken until
2 o'clock Monday. There are four squares
Immediately south of the Capitol grounds
from which the selection Is to be made, and
the engineering features of each of these
squares were discussed before the commits
sion in every detail this morning by Mr..
Bernard r. Green and Capt. Sewell of the
army.
The members of the commission then
went out in the rain and made a personal
inspection of the four squares in question.
There seems no doubt that the square on
top OF the hill will be the one selected. AS
the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel will touch
on the east side of this square as it pene-
trates the Capitol grounds. these features
were also made topic of discussion before
the commission. and representatives of the
road were before the commission. 1t is un-
derstood the tunnel will go no nearer the
proposed office building than ii. will to the
library building, and no apprehension of in
jury to either structure is felt. Although
the commission has thirty days in which TO
sion will be reached Monday
When the selection has been made the law
provides that the Secretary of the Interior
shall acquire the site. either by private sale
or condemnation proceedings.

of the committee are Messrs German,
Blackburn and Tillman.
Messrs. Money, Dubois and Tillman were
not present at the meeting today. Senator
Bacon attended the meeting of the com
mittee on foreign relations and could no.
be present until after l o'clock. Various
matters were discussed in an informal
way and the committee did not take for
NAL action on any subject.
They will wait until hearing from the
republican steering committee as to their
intentions before formally naming a sue
cessor to Senator Rawlins. The demo-
cratic committee will also be called on to
confirm the placing of Senator Clark of
Montana on the committee on foreign rela-
tions. Senator Clark was placed on that
committee upon the withdrawal from it of
Senator Bailey, and upon Senator Bailey's
suggestion. The democratic steering COM
mittee had not acted on the matter and
there is a strong sentiment on the part of
many senators unfavorable to the filling of
vacancies in that manner.
Senator McCreary of Kentucky Is strongly
urged democratic member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations. While a mem
ber Of the House of Representatives Mr.
McCreary was at one time chairman of the

garded as particularly fitted for such an

THE TWO TREATIES.
Were Not Reported by Senate Com
mittee Today.

The Senate committee on foreign relations
met today to act upon the Panama canal
and Cuban treaties. After some desultory
discussion the. committee adjourned until
Monday morning without acting upon the
treaties.
When the committee assembled 1t was
found that the democratic membership was
rather attenuated In numbers. Mr.. Clark Of
Montana, who takes Mr.. Baieys place,
was absent, Mr.. Rawlins' seat was vacant
and Mr.. Money was absent on account of
the recent death of his daughter. AS it was
understood that Mr.. Money desired to be
present when the treaties were considered
and that he would be here next Monday it
was suggested to postpone reporting the
treaties until the next meeting.
1t Is believed that the Panama treaty will
be considered IN the Senate ahead of the
Cuban treaty.
