HOLLYWOOD DECkED
WITH BRIGHT FLORA
QUANTITY AND QUALITY MARK
EXHIBITS
Fiesta" Parade Follows Entertain
ment-Mayor Harper and FlotiIla
Officers Expected to
Attend

The Hollywood plant and flower
show, which was opened at the Will
cox auditorium, Hollywood, yesterday
morning. is one of the best exhibitions
of its kind ever given in Southern
California.
Not only are there numerous ex-
hibits, but the quality and range of
flowers placed on exhibition are of the
highest grade.
Large attendance marked the occa-
sion of the opening day, while the in
terest taken in the event promises an
equally enthusiastic large crowd to-
day, when the exhibit closes.
This show is given under the auspices
of the civic section of the Woman s
club of Hollywood. The officers of the
club are Mrs. Graham Smith, curator,
and Mrs. Will c. Parcher secretary.
The committee on exhibit comprises
Mrs. j. b. Wilkinson, Mrs. S. P.
Rhoades and Mrs. Will c. Parcher.
J. ]. Gibson, president of the Holly
wood club, is chairman of the joint
committee in chaI-s of the celebration
Separate from this, following the
next day, Saturday, comes the floral
parade and fitting tournament, the lat
ter comprising the exercise of running
lances through rings while riding past
them on horseback.
Mayor Harper Expected
1t is expected that Mayor Harper of
Los Angeles and some of the officers
of the Torpedo f1otilla will attend this
latter occasion. The parade promises
to be a great event, the line of march
consisting of thirty automobiles, deco
rated with flowers, as in fiesta pa
rades, while there will be also pony
cars, tallyhos and other vehicles in
line.
But the beautiful flower show, at
tended by the best leaders of Holly
wood society and by many from Los
Angeles, Pasadena and elsewhere, is
the queen of the spring season.
The entries included over 200 anna
teurs, as well as quite a number of
professionals, and the result was a
room which had packed within it's
confines all the beauties of Edens gar
dens and the bowers of dreamland.
Music was furnished by two bag
pipers, the F'inlayson brothers of Pasa-
dena, whose rendition of Yankee Doo-
die" was greatly applauded.

drich had been settled. Senator Hey
burn. was given the floor and explained
his reasons for voting against the bill.
Before the roll call had been COM
pleted Senator LaFollette, who had
come into the chamber short time
before, made parliamentary inquiry
as to whether he could rot change his
vote of mo- to yes" in order to move
a reconsideration.
He was shut off on point of order
made by Mr.. Aldrich.
Then in order to take no chance, he
announced:
Il change my vote and do so for the
purpose of moving Il reconsideration"
But he was not allowed to make the
motion. AS soon as the Vice President
had announced the result of the vote
Senator Aldrich and Senator La Fol
lette demanded recognition. The for
mer was recognized and moved to re-
consider the vote by which the report
had been adopted. Senator La Fol-
lette fought hard for recognition and
made the point of order that Senator
Aldrich was out of order when he made
his motion. This point was not sus-
tanned by the chair and Senator Foraker
then moved to lay Senator Aldrich's mo-
ton on the table. Before this motion
could be put Senator La Toilette APP
pealed from the decision of the chair on
his point of order, but this appeal was
laid on the table on motion of Sena-
tor Foraker, by vote of So to 9. Before
this vote was taken Senator La Fol-
lctte had been recognized by the crowds
in the gallery, and they vigorously APP
plauded him. Senator Foraker then re-
newed his motion to lay on the table the
motion to reconsider the vote by which
the conference report was adopted, and
this was agreed to, 45 to II.
Aside from the fact that the final
vote on most important measure was
reached, the proceedings on the cur
rency bill were almost totally devoid
of popular interest. There was a COM
paratively large audience Of senator's.
but it was entirely perfunotory, owing
to the necessity of maintaining a quorum.
Spectators came in slowly, and it was
well nigh midday before the .doorkeepers
were compelled to turn applicants away.
Senator Stone, who occupied the floor
from Z o'clock until the recess, spent
mOSC VI HIS tllIle III IcduilS puDllC doCu-
ments and newspaper excerpts, and spoke
for the most part in so low tone of
voice that he calde out many remons-
frances even from the senators who sat
near him.
Senator Gore spoke with much dis
tinctness, and as he was unable to
read, commanded attention from the
galleries as well as from the occupants
of the floor
President Roosevelts first informa-
ton Of the collapse of the tillibuster
in the senate and the passage of the
currency bill, was communicated by
the Associated Press, and the Presi-
dents eXuberance was plainly mani
fest.
II will go to the Capitol as soon as
that bill is ready to sign," he said.

THE CURRENCY BILL
IS FINALLY. PASSED,
Democratic Fi|ibuster In the Senate
Suddenly Conapses-- -Par|iamen-
tary Wrang|e--- adjournment.

Washington, May 31.-Just 10 min
utes. officially, before the hands of the
big round clock in the chambers of the
two houses of Congress pointed to the
hour of midnight, the first session of
the Goth Congress came to a close. In
the House thee losing hours We're
characterized by singing of songs by
Republicans, in honor of Speaker Cam
non and by Democrats in the interest
of William j. Bryan. The excitement,
which was great at times, finally sub
sided and the session closed with gen
eral good fellowship among the mem
hers The Senate was extremely quiet
during the closing hours, held together
only by the necessity Of remaining in
session for the engrossing and signing
of bills.
The last days of the Senate will be
memorable on account of the filibuster
of Messrs LaFolIette, Stone and Gore
against the emergency currency bill, by
the remarkable interpretations of the
rules which go far to establish cloture
in a body noteworthy for the freedom
of debate, and by the final passage of
the CURRENCY bill.
President Roosevelt and several of
his cabinet were ut the Capitol during
the evening.

Currency Com=
mission Meets

Washington, May 31.-Thc currency
commission appointed yesterday by
Vice President Fairbanks and Speak
err Cannon under the terms of the AL
drich-Vreeland bill held its first meet
ing today and while the meeting was
only for organization, there was a gen
eral discussion of plans 1t can be
stated that ii the outline submitted by
Senator Aldrich is perfected by the
work OF the commission the country
will be given the benefit Of such a
thorough investigation and complete
an exposition of currency and banking
as it mas never before received
The commission organized by elect
ing Senator Aldrich chairman and
Rep. Vrecland vice chairman, thus
recognizing in the two executive otfl-
GERS the co-authors of the law under
which the commission was appointed
Arthur Shelton, clerk of the Senate
committee on finance, was chosen sec
rotary of the commission. The meeting
took place at Senator Aldrich's COM
mittee room and lasted for about two
hours.
Senator Aldrich expressed the opin-
ion that the country would expect
from the organization n very complete
presentation of the financial subject
based upon investigation to be made
not only in the United States but also
in the financial centers of Europe, and
no dissenting voice was heard in the
entire membership of IS representa-
tiyes and senators. 1t was the general
opinion that the commission would
continue it's existence for at least
three or four years and the opinion
was expressed that the commission
would prove as important for this
country as did that of the bullion
commission for Great Britain.
The discussion today resulted In the
arpointment of a committee of six TO
formulate a plan of action. AS first
amounted. the commission consisted of
Senators Aldrich, Hale and Teller ana
Representatives Vreeland, Burton and
Padgett. Senator Teller subsequently
declined the Office and Senator Bailey
was substituted in his place. The COM
mittee will meet in New York about
the middle of June and will prepare its
plans to be presented to meeting of
the full commission to be held at some
seashore resort in New England about
the 18th of July.

That the ocean mail bill, which passed
the Senate on March 20, without Il diVi-

ate in the postofice appropriation bill
by vote of i6 to II, is not killed by
the action of the House in failing to ac-
cept it by the narrow vote of 145 to

Retail Dealers of Sioux City
May Make Deliveries Thru
One Company
PLAN WOULD REDUCE EXPENSE
Grocers Would Be Chief Benefciaries
Under Plan Proposed - One Com
pany Suggested to Make Deliveries
for All Concerns Prompter Serv-
ice Predicted.

Sioux City. Dec. 19.-What would
YOU think il Your groceries and your
meat were delivered to you by a nice
new painted wagon, one of the large
that belonged TO delivering company
under contract to fetch and carry for
all the grocers and meat men in town?
Such a company is among the posi-
bilitics, altho no steps have been taken
toward It's organization But it is one
OF the schemes for improving business
conditions, that are taking form in the
minds of ID. A. Magee and others who
are back Of the movement to re-organ-
ze the Sioux Civ Retail Merchants
association.
The delivery bill of the retail grocer
is. perhaps, his heaviest expense. The
average grocer is really unable to say
just what his delivery bill does amount
to, but 1t has been figured out by some
careful business men at IL per cent of
the total business cost. It Is claimed
that. in towns where the mutual de-
livery system has been adopted, the
cost has been reduced to 6 per cent.
A small grocer may have hardly
enough business for one horse and
wagon. but he has to main
tain the horse and wagon never
theless. Another man may have
too much business for one outfit
but not enough for two. If company
should be formed by the grocers and
others interested. the cost could be APP
portioned according to the service rem
dered and, it is claimed, deliveries be
made more promptly and satisfactor-
lily.
Members of the Sioux City associa-
ton will hold another meeting the first
Thursday evening in January to try to
arrange for a social evening and din
ner to bring the retailers together.

Will Drain Stretch of Territory
Twelve Miles Long, OF Vary
ing Width
TO COST NEARLY 100000
Great Main Ditch Will Flow Into Will
low Creek, Four Miles West of Ma
son City - Many Against Project
But It Is Not Likely That 1t Will
Be Abandoned. ,nai =
Special to Times-Republlcan.

Mason City Dec. 10. = Preliminary
work for the construction of one of
the largest drainage systems in the
west, is now almost completed here.
The proposed new ditch and its ac-
companying laterals will drain q
stretch of territory twelve miles long,
six miles. 1t will drain n total area
of $4,000 acres, and its cost will range
from $4,000 10 100000. The most
westerly lateral extends to a poin.
near Ventura, and the Hancock county
in Grant township, over six miles
north of Clear Lake. The great main
ditch will flow into Willow creek at
point about four miles west of this
city. Counting the main ditch. the
main and sub-main things and the
numerous laterals. the total length of
the big system will be many miles.
The value OF this ditch When COM
-pleted will be almost incalculable, not
only in the way OF increased crop
raising possibilities of the land drained.
but also in the matter of greatly in
creased land values. Yet a large num-
Der of those who own land which will
be served by this system, are strongly
opposed to the project Fifteen land
owners signed the petition for the
construction Of the system. and those
against the project say that $50 land
owners will fight the matter to the
last ditch. Those objecting, have
called into the controversy the city
engineer here He gives it as his opn
ion that the last two miles of the main
ditch will be thru quicksands which
will render 1T impossible to keep free
from silt and clay washngs. This Is
because, he says, the fall will not be
sufficient to keep the ditch clear.
should the process of blocking be once
commenced. The preliminary expendi-
lures have been almost $4,000, and 1t
is not likely that the project will now
be abandoned.

NO FATHER OF HIS SON.
Unfaithfui Wife Deals Husband
Cruel Blow in Court.

NVQCl 0lOW III SOuI -
Des Moines, Dec. 19.-"Your honor,
we object to the modification of this
restraining order, giving John Canter-
berry permission to visit his wife and
her 4-months-old son, for the reason
that he is not the childs father.
This bold and startling statement
was hurled straight at John Canter-
berry as he sat in Judge Brennan's
court yesterday afternoon. Johns wife,
Fay Canterbury had deserted him for
an affinity, had sued him for divorce.
and had secured an order of court re-
straining him from visiting her on her
little son. And it was to modify this
order giving him permission to. see the
child at least, that Canterbury was
in court.
Up to this time he had never doubted
but what he was the father of the lit
tie boy. He had loved the little chap as
his son and was even then fighting for
permission to see him. When his wife's
attorney made this assertion, he
gasped, as did the attorneys, the
court and the onlookers.
Every one in the court room was as
founded at the declaration, coming
practically direct from his wife. Judge
Brennan was the first to recover from
the shock. Looking straight at Attor-
ney Sellers, the court demanded:
"Who authorized you to make such
statement as that?"
Mrs. Cantenberry, your honor" an
swered the attorney.
'well, have my opinion of her"
And with these few words Judge
Brennan turned to an order lying on
his desk and modified the injunction,
giving Canterbury permission to visit
the little boy every Sunday.
