CHARGES AGAINST MIR. sMooT.
Result of a Poll of the Senate Com
mittee

A poll of the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections, develops that a III
jority will vote to sustain the charges
against Senator ReSd Smcot, but that the
full strength of the opposition cannot be
held for a report recommending the ex
cusion of the senator. which would re-
quire only majority vote of the Senate.
In view of the showing, those vino be-
lieve the charges against the Utah sena-
tor were proved, are seeking an agreement
by which a report can be made In favor
of unseating Mr.. Smoot, and without TAX
ing into consideration the constitutional
questions involved. If this is done it would
leave to tie Senate the determination or
the question whether majority or two
thirds vote Is required to unseat him.

Moscow, Monday night, via. st.
Petersburg, January 2.-Except for
the numerous military patrols in the
streets and the pillars Of smoke lazi-
1y floating above the ruins of factor

there is little to recall the nightmare
Of the last ten days. AS if by magic
IN twenty-four hours the appearance
Of the city has changed. The store;
everywhere Lave been reopened and
the streets are crowded with holiday
shoppers making belated purchases
fer the Russian Christmas, whica,
according TO the Julian calendar,
falls on Sunday.
As the early northern night fell,
the guards were doubled, but the
electric street lamps bril- iantly
lighted the shop windows, reassuring
the people.

Large and Refined Audience
Well Pleased With Piece.


Otis Skinner presented His
Grace de Grammont' at the Gennett
last night to one of the largest and
most fashionable audiences of the
season.
The play is romantic comedy and
the plots and intrigues of the love
makers Of the gay court of Charles
the Second form the basis for the
story. Charles the Second of Eng
lend is in love with Elizabeth Ham
ilton, who loves and is loved IN re-
turn by the Count de Grammont. De

RINK NOTES

There was a good attendance at
the rink last evening and also In the
afternoon. There will be no music
today, but there will be music Thurs
day afternoon and night.
One often hears as he walks along
the street that skating is dying out,
but it is thought that if these people
would 90 to the rink and see for
themselves that they would be other
wise convinced. 1t must be remem-
bered that the rink is a very good
place for person to 90 on a dreary
day and also very good place to be
amused.

OTIS SKINNER AT GENNETT
IN This GRACE DE 6RAMMONT'

captiyates the audience the passion
ate impetuous de Grammont is not
the part In which Mr.. Skinner is best
adapted to show his efforts. Rich
morfd remembers him in 'sThe Har-
yester'' and "The Liers' In parts
widely different from that of the
Iouick-tempered Chevalier and those
parts were better suited to Mr.. Skin
ner's style of acting.
Mr.. Skinner was at his best IN the
scene in which he SO violently de-
nounces the King in his own audi
ence chamber.
The cast was excellent. Miss Crews
portrayed the character of Eliza
beth, a young girl, innocent and out
of place amidst the hardened, world
wise habitues of Charles court in a
manner thoroughly worthy Of the
support Mr.. Skinner required. Miss
Eustace also deserves mention as
Lady Castelmaine, in love with
Charles. but who is willing to sacri-
flee everything for the sake of Eliza
beth.
The production as a whole was ex-
cellent and one of the best that
Richmond will see this season.

a bonus of $50 on December 18th.
When the Fry Brothers occupied
their factory we donated them 5000
which was agreed upon by the As
ISOLATION last year.
Seventh. After hard battle we
gained the victory to get an option
on the Boyce farm, Of $4,000 on 80
days, for which we paid $500. AT
once we began to solicit and by the
assistance of the board of Public
Works and City Engineer we have
got nice map which makes the mic
est addition to the city of Richmond,
and of which the Association feels
very proud.
Eighth. The Association declared
a dividend on the Overall stock of 4
per cent and beg to say that this
factory is our first effort in the way
Of the location Of factories, and it is
good one. We have now one year
and fifteen days to continue before
the option expires. l hope in that
time we will have chance to sell
TO good advantage so that this assoc
citation can give vote of thanks by
which we can return the money to
the stockholders.
Ninth. The Association has made
a strong effort from time to time to
locate bridge across the Whitewa
ter river at the intersection of South
II street and in view of which the
County Council has increased the
levy from 2 to per cent on the hun
cred for the new bridge. And the
County Commissioners have agreed
Ia build this bridge in 1907.
Tenth. The Association is at
present making an effort o have
south ii street widened from its
present width (50) feet to- (6S) feet.
This is favored by the association
from the fact that the location of the
rev bridge will make this street a
prominent one and for the convent
ence Of the several factories located
in this part of the city.
Eleventh. BY the efforts of the
Association the Common Council
have improved Liberty Avenue add
ing another beautiful thoroughfare,
in the south part of the city.
In conclusion, / desire to express
my thanks to the Board of Directors
standing committees, secretary and
treasurer. and all the members of the
Association. for their kind support
in my efforts in carrying on the work
of the Association, and also wish to
thank you for the honor You have
conferred on me by again choosing

We have been fortunate so far in
keeping the cold away but the indi-
cations are that within the next few
days we will see little real winter.
