Majestic Theatre.

OF all the musical teams seen at the
Majestic theatre this season it looks like
honors should go to the Fernando May
Duo at the playhouse this week. They
are refined entertainers on many instru-
ments. Mr.. May can get music out OF any
thing One of his greatest specialties IS
when he brings an old tomato can on the
stage and with a common piece OF string
and a lath for bow proceeds to get
sweet music from his improvised instru-
ment

Ramsay A. Morris. to whom the patrons
of the popular priced theatre are indebt-
ed for the scenic drama, Ninety and

GOLD UEA THEIR SEEMS TO
LESSEN CRIME IN CIT Y

Of the ten arrests yesterday three were
against negroes. who. instead of carrying
home a bottle to comfort them, were In
tent upon loading sacks Of other people s
coal into their bins. Another negro would
warm few potatoes upon his griddle that
were quietly slipped from groeer's bin.
but not one was tempted to the tottering
point with liquor.
AS to the white men they were repre-
scented on the docket by three drunk
charges. This, however, was a record
breaker. as there Is hardly ever less than
ten. Perhaps the solution of the whole
matter Is to be found In the fact that a
man can contain more without stumbling
extra fuel.

Master Rosen as Buster. and Jack Bell

little art as actors. Leila Cautna, as Mary

MINORITY ASKS
BIGGER VOICE IN
NEW CONGRESS
Democrats Want Seven
Instead of Six in
Committees.

Democrats in the House OF Represent
edves are striving, through the minor
fly leader. John Sharp Williams. -
secure q bigger voice in the delibera-
tions OF the new Congress than they
had in the last.
Mr.. williams had a conference last
evening with Speaker Cannon. IN which
he asked that the cOrnmittees>of the new
Congress so be slated that there shall
be eleven Republicans and seven Demo-
Gratis. instead OF twelve Republicans and
six Democrats. as was the case IN the
last Congress. Another request the
Democrats are making is that they be
allowed one-half OF the seating space
OF the House floor, instead of being
crowded 10 the far side of the chamber.
as was the case In the last Congress.
Conference Today.
Another conference will be held by
Mr. Williams and Mr.. Cannon this
afternoon in regard to the two things
the Democrats want
In the great Roosevelt landslide, tho
Democratic forces In the House were
greatly reduced. and the cutting down
of their representation on all commit
tees and the deprivation OF much space
on the floor of the House followed. In
the new Congress, however. thes Demo-
crass are forty stronger -han they were
iH the old They argue, therefore. that
they should be on the committees In tho
proportion OF at least seven TO eleven.
They believe they arc entitled to an
even crater representation than this.
but the seven-eleven combination Is all
they are asking.
Want Equal Division.
They are also equally anxious TO
have the middle aisle of the House
divide the two parties instead Of having
the Republicans occupying entire sec
tions on both sides Of the middle aisle.
They claim they will be better able to
secure recognition from the chair II
they have as much floor space as the
Republicans
Mr.. Cannon's decision on both the
points involved viii probably be made
known tomorrow.
