ANNUAL Benefit OF
THE STREET CAR MEN
Monster Vaudeville Bill to Be Pre-
sented at the Majestic and the
Family.

Next Friday night there will be a
most unusual bill presented at the
Majestic vaudeville theatre in this
city. 1t is the occasion Of the third
annual benefit of the street railway
employees and the proceeds of the
evenings entertainment are to be de-
voted to the sick and benefit fund OF
the street car mems organization
Wednesday evening of next week the
same bill will be offered at the Fam
lily theatre in Moline and the pro-
ceeds will go to the same fund. The
program will be the largest vaude-
Vile ever seen in the tri-cities and
the acts are all new to this section
of the country most of them being
brought down from Chicago for the
occasion by Harry A. Sodini, head of
the chain of vaudeville theatres
which includes the Majestic of this
city and the Family in Moline There
will be only one performance during
the evening.
The street railway employees have
for two years held an entertainment
each spring in order to raise money
with which 10 keep up their benefit
fund. This is used TO keep the wolf
from the door of such members or
employees of the railway company
who through sickness or injury are
unable to work. Last year Brooks
military band was brought here and
II played both here and in Moline to
large audiences. II is the aim of the
railway men to give an entertain
ment of such character that they
need not be ashamed 20 come back
each year with a request to the pub
lie 10 patronize them and Mr.. So
DIM assures them that their enter
tainment this year will be the best
they have had yet.

BOISE, Dec. 15.-According to infor-

mission consisting OF Judge John +.
MacLane and Attorney Frank Martin,
appointed by Governor Hawley to pre-
pare a revision of the tax laws OF the
state for approval by special session
of the legislature, has completed the
drafting of the first section of the pro-
posed measure.
The first amendment, it is said, is in
the nature of a repeal of the present
system of collecting taxes from publ
utility corporations throughout the
state by counties. The amendment is
said to provide for the collection OF
the taxes from these corporations

out on the subject He said yester-
day: CAS- for making public the
amendments to the revenue laws that
may have been drafted by Mr.. Martin
and myself at this time, we do not be-
lieve that it would be advisable, as
those who might take objection to the
amendments would probably bother
the commission with requests for
changes. The time when the entire
draft can be made public is so near at
hand that we believe that it would be
better to reserve our findings until
they are completed before making
them public. Mr.. Martin and myself
are spending nearly all of our time on
the matter, and are working hard to
complete the work"

es at the trial of the Camorrists is to
suspend the sitting. Yesterday whis-
tie from among the spectators was suf-
fcient to start a commotion that ended
only when adjournment was declared.
Giacomo Ascrfttore was under inter
rogation. Ascrittore is charged with
having falsely denounced Tomasso de
Angels and Gaetano Amedeo as the
murderers of Gennaro Cuoccolo and
his wife.
"One day." said Ascrittore, "Amedeo
being drunk, said there was much mis-
apprehension in the public mind re-
garding the Cuoccolo affair. He said
that only 1920 was divided among the
murderers. though some persons secur-
ed great profit by selling the furniture
from the home Of the Cuoccolos."
At this point whistle shrek start
led every one in the room. The law
gers sprang to their feet in Indignant
protest. and In the confusion the presi-
dent announced that the sitting was
