BAND STAND LOCATED.
viii Be in Chesney Park Which Also
Will Be Improved.

Commissioner Holman has decided to
improve Cnesney park. Not only has
he decided to answer the prayer of the
people in this vicinity but he will erect
a big bandstand in the park and fur
nish the southwest and southern dis
tricts of the city with free open air
band concerts this summer
"Chesney park has always been neg
lected,' said Mr.. Holman today. 1T
is in a pretty part of the city and is a
park that will be one of the best in
the city if kept up in good shape. We
will erect a bandstand, level off the
ground, plant flowers and shrubbery,
make good walks, build benches and
make it a pleasure park equaled by
none.''
Chesney park is located just south of
Central park. 1t is bounded by Nine
teenth, Eighteenth, Lincoln and Bu-
chanan streets. 1t is on the route to
the Country club, is in a thickly popu-
lated district and is thickly wooded.
With the improvements contemplated
it will be a popular place this summer.

REFORM RULE ADOPTED.
1t Has Almost Unanimous Support of
the House.

Washington, June 1S.-The house
has passed with only one lone mem
Der voting in opposition a strongly
worded reform" rule, designed to cor
rect an acknowledged legislative abuse
the "smothering'' of legislation in
committee. Democrats, Republicans
and Insurgents" Joined hands har-
moniously in adopting the rule.
Representative Rucker Democrat
MissourD, was the lone member who
stood out against it. He assailed the
new rule and was Joined in his de-
nunciation by Representative Sims
democrat, TennesseeO The latter
however, did not vote against its
adoption.
minority leader, supported the rule
''as a forward step in reforming the
rules of the house" and asserted that
he himself was the author.
Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, and Representative Smith OF
Iowa, from among the regulars
leaders, supported it also as some
thing which a majority of the house
demanded.
Insurgents" like Murdoch of Kan
sas and Norris of Nebraska, advocated
adoption of the rule as another epoch
in the emancipation of the house."
Obtaining five minutes to oppose the
1
he would not accept the proposition
because it had the support of the Re-
publicans.
IF you should find the Republicans
steering toward heaven would you re-
fuse to go that way?" shouted Mr..
Stanley of Kentucky, amid shouts of
laughter.
''If 1 saw them going that way
would doubt like the devil if they
were going to heaven" said Mr..
Rucker.
Mr.. Murdoch, of Kansas, uncom-
promising, scarcely looked at the
speaker as he took his place in front
of the membe with his back to the
speaker and told them the new rule
would prevent absenteeism, would do
away with the practice of pigeon hol-
ing proposed legislation, and would
take from the speaker the arbitrary
right of recognizing members on sus-
pension day.
Representative Norris of Nebraska,
said the new rule did not go far
enough to suit him. Step by step he
said however, had been taken from
the speaker, and now another step in
