ommends that Congress be asked to ap-
propriate for one clerk at a salary Of

ancient records. and whose duty shall
be TO keep a proper file OF these records.
and produce them for use of any party
who is entitled TO access to them.
L have long been OF the opinion" said
Commissioner West. that there should
be more concentration in the work Of the
Commissioners. and last May. nearly FIVE
months ago. I submitted a formal motion
20 my colleagues TO provide for daily ses-
sions in the belief that by such action the
work OF the Commissioners. not only as
such work relates directly to individual
requests and complaints, but also TO gen.
eral administration. would be greatly ex-
pedited The motion never was acted
upon. and is still held by Commissioner
Macfarland for consideration When Mr.
Macfarland and Mai Judson return to
the city. I shall renew the motion. in
view Of the recommendation made by
the committee, and hope that It will re-
ceive favorable action. In other words.
l would like to eliminate a lot OF red

RIBBON FLASHED In THEATER
Practical Joker Victimizes Newly

Embarrassment TO Couple.

II Mrs Daisy Isabelle Joyce Elliott
and her newly welded husband. Jackson
Elliott, OF the Associated Press. can find
out who advertised their marriage at the
Columbia Theater last night that indi-
vidual Is going 70 have something happen
to. him which will astcnish him. SO far
the miScreant has elUded capture. but
that does not signify that he Is safe.
Mrs Elliott. with her husband and
three friends. were az the playhouse last
night. occupying one Of the lower boxes.
When their attention was drawn toward
the stage during the first act some in
dividual lowered a strip OF white ribbon
about q foot I'm width and tastefully
draped IL so that It hung directly over
the bridal pair.
T.-e act closed and the lights flashed
up. Mrs. Elliott. blushing and much
confused was seen with her equally
abashed spouse behind d wealth OF ribbon.
At that moment tactless leader OF the
orchestra struck up the wedding march
from "LOhengrin." At the same moment
Mr. Elliott. who is naturally retiring.
struck out FOR the fCger. announcing be-
tween his grinding le-th that he was
going TO commit brutal and cold
blOOded murder in about five seconds.
A friend met him In the hail.
Congratulations, old man." said the
friend grinnins cheerfully.
Mr.. Elliott fixed him with an eagle eye.
If l thought YOU hung that blessed
ribbon over that box, said he. Il would
strike you without mercy"
Meanwhile. Mrs. Elliott. braver than
her husband. faced the music. After a
time the curtain went down and the
couple were granted peace for the rest
OF the evening
Both declare that the end Is not yet.
