lottery for rooms in the new House

ordered to their desks members who in
their anxiety to preempt desirable
places crowded in front Of his desk,

were displayed on easles. Some Of the
members regarded the drawing with
much amusement, but others took
more serious view Of it and were con-
stantly calling for order.
Chairman of committees already
have been assigned quarters in the new
building and today's drawing was par
ticipated in only by the 333 members
who are not heads Of committees. In
terest in the novel proceedings was
shown by the fact that there were but
few absentees.
The selection for these We're made
by colleagues.
Much amusement was created by
several members insisting on tho.'-
ough understanding Of how the draw
ing was to be conducted. Mr.. Mann,
chairman Of the committee having the
matter in charge. was subjected to
fire Of questions, which occasioned
much confusion and which led to in
epiries Of the Speaker as to what bus
mess was before the House. Speaker

by directing the drawing to proceed.

box marbles corresponding with the
numbers of the seats of the members

which consumed over two hours time,
the House adjourned until tomorrow.

lodge Adams for cause, Mr.. Littleton
used his 18th peremptory challenge and

Since the announcement of the cur

would force reduction here. Lead

there would be no cutting of wages
in Philadelphia.

said, and contemplate no reduction. I

The report then takes up the finan-
cial returns from these so-called char

showing in specific instances that
amounts actually given to charity
were small, and that in cases theater
managers bought for S. or 80 the priv
ilege to use the name of Hebrew as

ments after the curtain rises. Henry
Leone and Anne Dale have the head
line act in an operatic comedietta, "A
Lesson in Opera Leone is a real
grand opera baritone and with Miss
Dale sings selections from the most
popular operas. They handle the
songs successfully and receive lots of
applause. Another of the high class
acts of the week is the acrobatic
stunt of Peterson brothers. This is one
of the greatest acroba turns ever
seen on a local stage and many feats
are performed which are almost un-
known. The comedy element of the
act is especially pleasing and results
in q scream from beginning to end. Mr..
and Mrs. Frederick J. Bacon. a banjo
team. have a highly entertaining act.
Southern melodies and variations as
well as some clever limitations form
the major part of their act. The Ber-
gere sisters have some high class sing
ing. consisting of solos and duets,
which win lots of applause. Lucas
and Garrett make a hit with their
feats of hand and head balancing and
complete the bill.
