no provision as to the salaries to be
paid its officers. That matter as in
borough is left TO the discretion of
the governing body"
Borough Collector Alfred T. Kerr
says he thinks that the change would
be a benefit and he intends to look
into the question thoroughly before
the election.
Would Affect Office Holders.
All of the present borough officials
from the mayor, members of the
council and Board of Education down
to the smallest office holder, will be
de facto If the change goes through,
although they will hold office until
January l. If next Tuesday the vote
is majority for the City, It means
that at the general election in No
vember a new mayor, council and
Board of Education will be elected
to take office January /, '09
1t was also learned yesterday that
many of the property owners in the
first district may vote against the
change because they fear that they
will have to pay for sewers which
will probably be built later. Many
property owners think that, If a sew
er is built at one end Of street or
in another part of the place, they
will have to help pay for it. Under
the city law the city would pay one
third of the cost, and the property
owners who were directly benefited
would have to pay the remaining
two-thirds.
The general impression is that the
election will result in the borough
being changed to a city and the OUT
come is awaited with interest. AS
yet no one has been spoken of in
connection with the nomination for
mayor if the change is made, al
though one man said yesterday that
as the officials have only served one
year Of their term, 1t would be no
more than right to re-nominate them.
Another said that. he could guaran-
tee that most of them would not be
|renominated,

LATE NIGHT SHIFT
Printers Report at11 O'clock
To Do Congressional
Work.

a shift OF employees drafted from the
regular force was put to work at the
Government Printing once last night
at IL o'clock. This force will continue
TO report at that hour FIR the remainder
of the Congressional session.
The new shift is TO handle the odds
and ends left over from the Record and
bill forces and TO Obviate the working
overtime Of the regular night forces,
as has been done heretofore TO get out
the COMPRESSION i printing.
It is admitted that the new arrange
ment is the result OF complaints recently
made by some Of the labor unions. which
have appointed committees to mCke in
designations in regard TO the alleged Vio-
lauons OF the e.ght-hour law.
The Office claims now to have all The
compositors necessary, with the eXcep-
ton of competent machine operators,
but is in need Of pressmen and press
feeders-a class Of employees that has
been hard to obtain in sufficient num-
bers since the winter rush has been on.

CURRENCY BILL
AGREEMENT NEAR,

As a result of the first meeting OF the
Senate Finance Committee to consider
the Aldrich currency bill, 1t is given out
that prospects are good for an early
agreement. After the meeting this
morning Senator Aldrich predicted the
committee would get together on a bill
and would make a report probably next
week. The committee will hold daily
meetings until final action is taken
Senator Aldrich was asked about the
reported opposition from Western bank
ers.
"Such opposition is not serious" said
Senator Aldrich. "Of course. some
bankers who want to issue money with
out Government control, without reserve,
and without limitation are opposed to
this bill If a banker in Chicago or
elsewhere wants TO issue money with
out limitation he is quite apt to op-
pose this measure "
The discussion tins morning was on
general principles and not on details.
II was to ind out whether there is SEN
timent in the committee for asset cur
rency or for a central bank. There was
found to be no asset currency senti-
ment.

The dynamite bombs were placed in

the terrOr-stricken.
An alarm Of fro had been sent in soon

There are several Italian families
among the tenants IN the house. and the

FUCHS PORTRAITS
NOW ON EXHIBITION
Artist Shows Attractive Pic
lures of Beautiful
Women.

Unusually attractive and of great pop
uIar interest is the exhibition of pOr-
trait work OF Emil Fuchs now on view
in the northwest room of the lower floor
OF the Corcoran Gallery Of Art. The
exhibition OF fourteen works in oil with
but three exceptions are portraits OF
women.
Il IS in the pOrtrsiture OF women that
Mr.. Fuchs has shown his greatest abll-
ity. The treatment of drapeTies. the
combination OF color, and grace of ar
arrangement are potent factors in the
work OF this painter. and in the pOT-
traits Of women who are in the full
charm Of youthful beauty re has found
his congenial task and evidenced
skill which endows his work with an
attractive quality which appeals strong
ly to those who find In the pictorial
side Of portrait painting its highest
charm.
In technique, Mr.. Fuchs has reached
a degree Of craftsmanship which has
been excelled by few. In tho under
standing OF those qualities which are
necessary in the production Of Dor traits
for exhibition purposes, or for large
decorative spaces he has learned the
lesson well. His brush work Is free
and mtrammeled. Viewed closely the
portraits show extreme breadth %
treatment, seen at q proper distance
they are finely modelled, and possess a
briIliancy which marks a force in paint
ing without which pictures must fail TO
adapt themselves 10 agreeable decora-
lion.
In his arrangement Of color, the
artist recognizes that pleasing arrange
ment and breadth of treatment must
also be combined with pleasing color
or the other qualities viii be handi-
capped by a color schme which dis
tracts and protests. In this particular
Mr.. Fuchs is conservative and ex-
tremely sound. In none of his pictures
has ne experimental to such an extent
that a desire is created for change in
his cOlors. Harmony exists 10 a
marked degree.
In the selection Of his sitters. or in
the personality Of his patrons Mr.
Fuchs has been most fortunate. 1t NAV
be that this exhibition has been selected
with the idea Of making it effective as
an exhibition OF portraits of beautiful
woman. If so, It Is in this direction an
exceptional success. In presenting the
charms Of wOmanhOOd Mr.. Fuchs has
succeeded far better than many who
have worked along the same lines, and
in doing this he has touched the side
OF happiness and OF sweetness of tenn
permanent, in a mastery manner. The
exhibition will be open daily until
January %.
