CATHOLIC LADIES
ENTERTAIN
MUSICALE AND DANCE-CROWD-
ED HOUSE-PROMEN CON-
CERT AS SUCCESSFUL AS RE-
CENT BALL.

Two big dances in one night and
both with crowded floors go far to
show what Wenatchee's population
is. At the Commercial Club the
dancing floor was carrying all the
couples there was room for and half
as many more were sitting out dur
ing every dance.
The management was unable to
secure Orchards orchestra and had
to make the best of it with other
music. Miss Vaughn devoted herself
to the work during the concert and
dance both, and went far toward
making the success of the evening.
The concert program had an acct
dent of some sort. Mr.. Brownell
had to do all the singing, and the in
strumental work was limited to Miss
Vaughn's playing ana that of a visit
or from Vancouver. The other num-
bers were not put on. The encoring
was sufficient to show how much
their music was enjoyed. Miss
Vaughn created some amusement and
a good precedent by stopping her
accompaniment while some late ar
rivals tramped across the floor. When
they were seated she and Mr.. Brown
ell resumed the music.
All those present united in prais-
ing the rooms of the Commercial
Club The ventilation is very good
and the club has one feature that
none Of the other halls have-there
are so many retiring rooms. That
was mentioned several times last
night.
This is the second successful en-
tertainment this winter that the
Catholic ladies have given and their
reputation for providing a good time
is getting on firm foundation. Next
Tuesday it is they who will serve the
noon lunch at the Commercial Club.

 Societies.

Lisbon. Jan. 11.-In connection with the firing by sentries upon a group of men prowling around Necessidades palace two nights ago. and the arrest of a number of republicans, the po- lice announced today that they have discovered widespread revolutionary conspiracy. Additional arrests have been made of ringleaders, and the police have seized large quantities of explosives. arms, masks and complete disguises.
 Several have confessed that they are members of secret societies band ed together in a plot to overthrow the government
 The plot was unearthed as se- quence of the murder at Cascaes, not far from Lisbon. of one of the -revo- lutionists, who. while attempting to steal quantity of cartridges at the customs house, which were intended for the revolutionists, was stricken by his fellow conspirators on the ground of treachery.

UNDER THE POLICE NOSE
Robber Held Up Stenographer in
 Frisco Office Building.

San Francisco, Jan. 11-Within one block of the Central police station a masked robber threatening death if he was betrayed. held up and robbed Mrs Grace F. Stilson, a stenOgrapher, as she sat in the office of R. B. Austin in the Pacific building. one of the 1arg- est office buildings in the city. Ac- cording to her story, the thug carried revolver, which he held in a rhen- acing manner. at the head of Mrs. Stilson while he gave a command that the money in the safe be placed upon a desk for his disposal.
 The frightened stenographer surren- dered all the money in the> safe, amounting to $325 to the robber who then left the office, admonishing his victim as he was leaving not to make any Owtcry. under penalty of being killed.
 Mrs. Stilson waited several minutes before notifying those who sat in the next room. Detectives are working on the theory that the robebr is a client of the firm. and it is thought that he watched his opportunity from a win dow in. a hotel opposite the Pacific building

THE REPUBLICAN WHIP
Will Henceforth Direct This Detail of Legislation Un- less Democrats Devise a Counter Rule For Relief of the Oppressed.

Washington. Jan 1.-The ancient custom of the house of representatives in use for fifty years was overturned today by Representative Dwight of New York, the Republican whip, when he instructed the pair clerks at the speakers desk to cease pairing re- publican members except under pre- scribed conditions
 The move was declared by the democrats and insurgents to be di- rected against the latter and is in- tended to give the organization addi- tional leverage when close votes oc- cur
 Representative Garner of Texas, the temporary democratic whip, said that Mir. Dwight had instructed his pair clerks to make no pairs excepting on Mir. Dwight's approval. This, MT. Dwight denies, but the upshot of the matter was that MT. Garner invoked as counter move a long buried and hitherto unObserved rule of the house and members will hereafter be re- quired to make their pairs in writing at the speakers desk.
 Under the order attributed to Mr. Dwight. he would be able to control the voting of .absentees or those de- string to be paired. which, it was pointed out, would nC Q work to the advantage of the house insurgents. since the republican whip is working in harmony with the regulars.
 The move of the democrats, if suc- cessful. may result in greatly limiting the proposition of pairing as well as perhaps nullifying the effort of the republican regulars to embarrass the insurgents It might also aid any -insurgent who might be laboring un- der official displeasure and dsscrim- ination by enabling him to arrange a pair at the speakers desk!
 No caucus of the house republicans on the Ballinger-Pinchot committee has been called. according to the statement of Representative Currier of New Hampshire chairman ef the cau- GUS. One may be issued at any time, however. and insurgents may not be bidden to take part in it. The demo- crats probably will caucus on the sub ject the latter part of the week.
 The 1Olnt senate ana mousse Ttpup- lican caucus tomorrow night in the house chamber will result in no fight between the regulars and insurgents. Nothing but the selection of a new republican congressional committee can be considered under yhe call
 Following the secret meeting of the republican insurgents at the home of one of their number last night the twenty-two who were present were loath to discuss the details of what occurred. No definite plan for the future has been adopted. but the re- calcitrant republicans say they will await developments with confidence in their ability to meet the issue.

SHE LOVED THE WAITER
 ONLY KS \ FATHER
The Extraordinary Statement of Miss
 Roberta de Janon.

Chicago. Jan. 11.-Roberta de Janon, the young Philadelphia heiress arrest ed here on Monday with Frederick Cohen. the hotel waiter. with whom she eloped on December 29 became nervous tonight after spending twenty four hours in the police station.
 The, girl who related to the police a remarkable story of her attachment for the waiter, as an adopted father grew weary of watching for the arrival of the detectives from Philadelphia who are to take her to her grand fathers home from which she fled in disguise.
 Information reached the authorities that the Philadelphia officers would not arrive in time to return with the girl and her elopement partner on the night train for the east.
 As Miss de Janon is merely being held and there is no charge against her she was permitted to attend the the ater in company with detectives. Later she was returned to the station to await the arrival of officers. Cohen remained in a cell at the Chicago Avenue station.

PLENTY OF PEOPLE
 RAISING CATTLE THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A
 BEEF SHORTAGE. The Prevailing Sentiment Among Stockmen Assembled at Denver.
The Prevailing Sentiment Among

Denver. Jan. l14-There is no short age of beef in America. nor any prob ability of shortage according to the National Livestock association.
 President H. A. Jastro and Vice President Murdo Mackenzie of Trini- dad, Col. vehemently denied the state ment that there was a shortage at the afternoon session. which was turned over to the beef producers as sociation. They opposed a campaign of publicity urging the farmer and homesteader to raise cattle, and they declared that so long at S2G0, 00O, 900 worth of beef fs exported each year there is no danger of shortage.
 The price of beef in Chicago is regulated by the price received for surplus cattle shipped abroad" said
 MT. Mackenzie. The howl that the present prices are putting beef be-
 yond the reach of the poor man is un
 warranted. True, if the consumer de- maids choice cuts he must pay for them. but beef and good beef is with in the reach of all. Had it not been for the increase in the value of their lands. the cattlemen could rot have continued in business at the prices that have prevailed in the past At the present prices stockmen are just beginning to realize a fair return on their investments. What we should advocate. is better cattle-not more of them. It is a terrible mistake to urge farmers and homesteaders to enter the cattle business
 Short addresses along similar lines were delivered by R. J. Sheehan of Rongis, Wyo, and A. F.. Deriqueles of Denver.
 John w. Springer. in an address said that he wanted removal of the duty on hides and an increase of power for the interstate commerce commission. He made the statement that the prince of presidents. Theodore Roose- welt, is behind the association in ev- cry fight. and is still backing it with his influence" His words were re- ceived with wild cheers.

BOSTON ELECTION
 UNDER NEW CHARTER
FITZGERALD OVERWHELMINGLY CHOSEN MAYOR.
The Reform" Government Beaten
 Beyond Recognition.

Boston, Jap. 11.-In the first party less election he'd under the new char ter former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald was elected today to fiff the mayors chair again, this time for a four-year term.
 He received 46,96S votes, and a plu- rality of 1928 over his nearest op- ponent, James J. Storrow, a banker, former president of the chamber of commerce and a former chairman of the school board.
 The most remarkable feature of the election to many was the small vote of 1.7s3 given to the present mayor. George A. Hubbard. who received 3S.- 000 votes two years ago. being elect ed on the reform" ticket over Fftz- gerald. The fourth mayoralty aspir- ant. Nathaniel H. Taylor. found only 629 supporters
 The campaign. noteworthy in many ways. was easily Boston's greatest. A record vote of 9s,125 was cast, more than s4 per cent of the registration.
 Mir. Fitzgerald won his victory in spite of the fact that not one of the daily newspapers of the city support ed him. He based his campaign on a plea for vindication, his previous term in office having been conspicuous for the exposure by the finance commits sion of graft among number of the subordinates in the city hall. Like Mir Storrow, he is a democrat in na- tionai politics, and has been a demo- cratic leader in local battles.
 Under the provisions of the new charter. the ballots bore no party designations.
