PUT WALLACE IN
COUNCIL CHAIR
PEASE MAY GIVE WAY FOR
HARM0NY'S SAKE
New couneiImen Caucus at City Hall.
Mayor-elect Harper Is Called
Into the Game by Nom
Partisans

IL begins to look as though A. J. Wal
lace, non-partisan and Republican
councilman, may be presiding officer
of the new council instead of Niles
Pease
Pease is inclined to balk at the COM
mittee slate fixed up for him by the
Republicans, and apparently the chair
manship can go only to a man who Will
swallow the slate ticket Pease, for
harmony's sake, has offered to give
way.
All afternoon yesterday the new coun-
cilmen caucused at the city hall and
last night they met again
The quartet of -partisans-Pease,
Wallace, Dromgold and Wren-had a
long interview with Mayor-elect Har-
per, to whom Mayor McAleer has prac-
tically turned over the inner sanctum
under the city hall tower for conference
purposes, but none of those present will
say what line the discussion took.
Politicians argue that this interview
was either plan of pacihcation sug
gested by the new mayor or it was in
the nature of an ultimatum delivered
to Mr.. Harper The latter has been an
active harmonizer, and majority opin-
ion around the city hall inclines to the
belief that Mr.. Harper sent for the four
non-partisans and suggested way to
reach an agreement promptly on the
committee chairmanships, which seem
to be the bone of contention.
Mayor-elect Harper had hardly fin
ished with the councilmen than DR..
Edelman, Commissioner Schwamm, Eu-
gene German, Nathan Cole jr. and
Capt. Cake entered with a delegation,
while Attorney Dockweiler, represent
ing the liquor interests, also fitted
about.

Republicans Meet Again

The afternoons deliberations of the
councilmen failed to bring about a
perfect understanding and in the even
ing the members of the next council
held a secret meeting in the council
chamber. They locked the doors as
soon as most of them had arrived,
Mayor-elect Harper and Fire Commits
sioner Anthony Schwamm forming
the vanguard into the hall. Later Mr..
Harper and his secretary repaired to
the office to write the inaugural mes
sage. The first corners were Repub-
licans and none of the non-partisans
participated.
The rock of division appears to be
that certain non-partisans want the
committee plums and will yield very
little to the Republicans. Yonkin still
holds the balance of power and is in
position to have most everything he
wants, according to which side he
leans.
Way They Split
The situation as outlined by one of
the council is this:
Mr.. Pease has refused to be die
tated to and it looks as though Wal
filled and get the gavel. If he does
it will be because he will swallow
the committeeman dose.
There are twelve committees, but
all the important ones must be cared
for first. The legislation, finance, sup
plies and public utilities are the COM
mittees on which all the members want
seats, and there are not enough jobs
to go around.
There is a great scramble for the
supplies committee, which buys i'm
mense amounts of goods and is in a
position to favor the committeeman S
friends.
1.-The utilities committee will fix the
rates for the corporations that get
underground and overhead privileges
based on their annual reports soon to
be filed. Hence many are anxious to
get on it,"

The BLACK CROOK. !"
A Spectacular Romance Given By Good Cast
AZ Colonial Theatre.

THE Black Crook interspersed
with vaudeville and acrohatie fea
tures was given by a good east on sat
urday night at the Colonial Theatre.
IL is a spectacular romance introducing
fairies, demons spirits etc. and some
of the scenery was very pretty as
we'll as weird.
The story is an old one. and has To
do with q certain magician who deals
with the occult and whose crooked
ways have. perhaps, caused him to he
known as THE Black Crook. He is
old and weak, yet wants to live long
and he enters into a compact with
one arch fiend, Zamiel. who exaets of
the Crook a compact if the latter
would live-of n single soul for a
single year.
The Crook attempts To win one soul
for the arch fiend's kingdom, but fails
in this through the interposition of
one fairy, Stalaeta, who saves the vic
tim and restores him To his sweet
heart. The last scene shows the dam
nation of the Black Crook and the
triumph of virtue and goodness. Some
of the scenes are uncanny, but they
are relieved by the introduction of
various stunts of vaudeville by Mr..
Mack, Miss Carlisle and others.
The four Donazettas who give an
exhibition of tubmling are the best
ever seen here. They do some hair
splitting stunts in mid and are
clever acIobats. The audience was
small but appreciative.
