plans. Mr. Duffeld explained the
scheme to give the play called "A Day

was the unanimous opinion that a
mistake had been made in annOunc-
ing the time for the affair as the mid
die OF March and accordingly it was
changed until the first part of April.
Another scheme which met with the
approval OF all was that the affair
be enlarged to such an extent that

that the show will be we'll worth the

SENATE ACAINSTIT
River and Harbor Bill Has Not
Much Chance Of Passing
Present Congress.
ECONOMY HELD NECESSARY
Senators Hale and AIdrich Will Fight
It-LOwer House, However,
+ Is Favorable.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate
budget committee has set its face
against river and harbor bill at this
session of congress.
That such measure will pass the
house without diffculty is unquestion-
ed. A different situation prevails in
the senate on account of the condition
of the treasury and the desire of sena-
tors to reduce expenditures as much
as possible. However, should the
house bill reach the senate promptly
a determined effort will be made by
the advocates of waterway improve
ments TO force its passage.
Senator ROies Penrose of Pennsyl-
ment in explaining the origin Of ru-
mors regarding the river and harbor
bill.
Hale and AIdrich Oppose II.
1T is the opinion Of such leaders rs
Senators Hale and Aldrich that it
would be folly to pass river and har-
Dor bill carrying $50 100000 or $40.
100000. in view of the present condi-
ton OF the treasury" said PenroSe
The matter has had consideration ny
the recently created committee on PUB
lie expenditures. of which Senator
Hale is acting chairman. and while
no definite action was taken the situa-
ton was pretty thoroughly gone over.
AN opinion exists that if we pro-
vide for projects now building under
continuing contract provisions it viii
be about all the present congress rea-
sCnably can be expected TO do. Should
we do but this the sundry civil bill
will carry in the neignbo-hood of s15,-
100000 for continuing work of river
and harbor Improvement.

"Of course. conditions may change
as to the treasury deficit, in which
event a river and harbor bill in all
probability would be given respectful
consideration"
Senator Frye of Maine. chairman of
the commerce committee, and an I'M
compromising friend of waterway i'm
provement, takes 2 diametrically OPP
posite view of the situation
The only way a river and harbor
bill can be defeated" said Senator
Frye. is to have it reported so late
in the session that it might be talked
to death. 1t certainly cannot be de-
feated by votes. l have heard rumors
about disposition on the part of
some senators to postpone considera-

WHAT RIrkIN DREW.

Recently Robert Pitkin, the comedi-
an of "The Time. the Place and the
Girl" which will be seen here next
Sunday at the Illinois, went into a
clothing store to purchase an overcoat.
He finally found one to fit him and
took it, and feeling in the inside peck
ct. he found a slip of paper with the
name of the girl who sewed on the
coat. For a joke, he sat down and
wrote her a letter with all the elusive
ness necessary in such case. and in
due time received a reply which, how
ever, was void of the romance usual in
such cases. Here was the reply: Il
am a working girl, that is true, but
make good living and l do not care
to support a husband, as l would have
to do if I married some silly noodle
who gets mashed on a girl he never
saw. Permit me to say that l do not
know how my name got in the coat,
