The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1911-11-29

: In the mid Victorian days of
haircloth and wax flowers the
only task incumbent on young
housewife who wished to furnish
her parlor was to decide how
much stiff and impressive furni-
ture could be bought with the
amount of money she had for the
expenditure: Il
Then, after exact placing of
the funerea1 pieces of walnut, she
viewed the parlor with sacred
awe and shut it against every
day use.
Now the parlor has become
real living room and its princi-
pal qualifications are comfort
and charm. III
1t is not the architect or the
decorator who gives these, but
the woman who is making the
home
The usual idea IS an oriental
rug, mahogany davenport, a
center table, a bookcase, a loung-
ing chair and a rocker, topped by
a green shaded lamp of elaborate
design and a few conventional
pictures.
The. room thus furnished at
large initial expense looks like a
thousand other rooms, even
though each separate article has
personal beauty.
Before. selecting the furnish
ings it would be wiser to choose
a color scheme. If the woodwork
is of light oak, a soft brown or a
dull yellow will be most suitable

If the woodwork is of imita-

JACOB sWATzRURG
 IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
courtsd Young Woman in New York !. and Was Engaged to Marry Her.

Greenfield, Mass, February 24.-
 A Greenfield, Mass, despatch says:
 Attachments were placed Monday on the stock of Jacob c. Swatzburg, tailor. at 379 Main street, and the place closed, Among those who claim to be creditors is Isadore Keisen of New York He says that Swatzburg came to New York some time ago, courted his sister and contracted an engagement to mar " her. A short time ago, according to Keisen's story, he came to Greenfield and formed a partnership with Swatz- burg, paying him, he says, $50. Later he 1earhed. he says that Swatzburg has wife and six children in Holy6ke.
 Keiseh claims that Swatzburg told him that he was to open another tail- bring Establishment in Bellows Fals, Vt. Checks on a, local bank, 1t is al z legged, were given by Swatzburg and were not paid because he had no funds there.
 Mr. Swatzburg was former state policeman, residing in this city, who became involved in a similar case in Montreal and was sent to prison there, later returning to this city. He seems to have an uncomfortable desire to make engagements, there having been other cases of this kind in which he has been a principal.

eociALisTs' ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
 CONFIRMATION LAW.
Greater Scope Than Mayor Fishsr's- Makss State Supervising Agent.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 24.-The joint committee on judiciary and labor this afternoon heard more arguments in be- half of a workfngmen's compensation law and kindred sub5ects, with most of the time given up to the ideas of the socialist party, represented by Maurice T1i1quft, a lawyer of New York, who has been active in socialism both as a epeaker and writer.
 Ths socialists, with the Working mems Political league, have drawn up a bill to provide compensation for in- Juries to workingnen sustained in the course of their employment. In the course of an address by Mir. Hilquit he not only analysed the bill which he WIS interested in but criticized the bill of Mayor Fisher drawn for the Hartford Central Labor union. He pointed out that the socialists demand a law of far greater scope than that of Mayor Fisher,s. It places more up- on the state as a supervisory agent in enforcing the operation of a ,compen- eation law than any other bill under consideration. MT. HilQuit was ques- tioned Quits generally after his ad dress. Today's hearing began at a point where the subject was left off last week
 The political league also has a bill tn to provide for the regulation of trades unions and trade disputes.

 Prompt Action Is Proof of This Nations Cordial Feeling Towards Japan-Shows Confidence In the, Advanced Civilization of the Eastern People.

 CT ratification, would have continued until the same date a year later, had notSsthe government consented to it's expiration at the same time as the others.
 Means Much to Jap Revenues.
 Failure to have ratified the new treaty would have delayed the opera tion of the Japanese programme for U year beyond the time when it was planned to put it into effect. It would have meant a great deal to the reven-' ues of Japan and the continuance of the existing treaty with the United States for another year would not have benefited this government in the slightest degree, according to the rep resentations of the state department on the subject.
 Little Comment in Seattle.
 Seattle, Wash, Feb. 24.--News of the ratification of the Japanese treaty caused little comment here. Seattle, the nearest American port to Japan, has 10000 Japanese, including the truck farmers near the city. Except for petty disturbances at lumber and logging camps, there has never been any serious agitation against Japanese on Puget sound.

 Will Oppose Seating Lorimer.
 All of the opposition to setting a time for avote came from senators who have announced that they intend to vote to deprive Senator Lorimer of made the unfinished business an exec utive session was ordered on the Jap anese treaty. It had been reported that the senate was to resume legislative session and that it would continue all night in an effort to force a. vote on the Iorimer case Senators who sup port MT. Lorimer finally decided they had accomplished enough by placing the resolution in it's present adyant- ageous position.
 Notices of future speeches in oppo- Sition to Senator @Lorimer were given by Senators Stone, Lafollette, Owen and Crawford. All are anti-Lorimer senators.
 Adopted Sutherland Amendment.
 On the conclusion of Senator Rev. eridge's speech in opposition to the H. linois senator, business was disposed of in short order. The Sutherland amendment to the resolution calling for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people was adopted by a vote of 50 to 37.
 Tuesday was fixed as the time for voting on the resolution itself.
 The Canadian reciprocity bill was received from the committee on finance.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Tne new Jap anese treaty of trade and navigation was ratified tonight after a two hour executive session of the senate, held at the conclusion of a day crowded with many other important matters. While the apprehension of western senators that the treaty might let down the bars to coole labor was not entirely remov- ed, these senators contented them selves with expressing their Solicitude. They interposed no objection to ratifi- cation.
 Can Now Treat With Other Powers.
 The action of this government in promptly confirming the new agree ment is expected to do more to prove the feeling of cordiality that this coun : try has for Japan than anything that has been done for many years. H is regarded as a manifestation of highest confidence in the advanced civilization of that nation. The effect will be to permit Japan to enter at once upon a reorganization of it's fiscal system and upon making a new tariff with all na- tiops.
 Japans treaties with other powers will expire July IT next. That with the United States, by re&son of it's lat

BREWERS FAILsTo GET
 THEIR BARRELS BACK.
Thousands of Dollars Lost in Year
 Want Penalty Imposed.

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 24-"Some people think it is all profit in the brewing business" said N. w. Kendall of New Haven before the excise com mittee this afternoon.
 They are all wrong," he continued Our losses on quarter barrels which are destroyed or not returned are enor- mous In 1908 our company charged off the loss on barrels $5,174; ths next year $9,S4s. Where did they go to? They were destroyed by irresponsible parties"
 Hoops for Junk, Wood Makes Fires.
 Mir. Kendall said that the wood burns easily and the hoops are knocked off f0t junk. In an unlicensed place one of his drivers had found more hoops thGn he could carry away. Adetective was employed at an expense of about $4 Ca week and the losses still contin- ued.
 &1o Fine Per Barrel.
 MT. Kendall appeared for bill which provides that every person who uses, traffics in, disposes of, destroys or de- tains barrels used in the manufacture of and sale of malt liquors without per mission shall be fined $10 for each re- ceptable so used. H. H. Spooner of the Connecticut Temperance union said he was of the opinion that breweries should keep a record of barrels issued and so prevent losses.

FEW WOMEN PROVE
 CROOKED IN POLITICS
Judge Lindsey for the suffragists- Colorado Conditions Falsely Shown, He Says.

Albany. N. Y., Feb. 24-"Occasion- ally woman in politics is found to be corrupt, said Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the juvenile court of Denver, speak glsts in the assembly chamber today, but where one woman is found crooked there are about 100 men,"
 Took Exception to sBarry's Article.
 Judge Lindsey took exception to statements in an article written by Richard Barry on the conditions to be found in Colorado, a suffrage state, and said that many of them were falsehoods.
 "The recital of things which have been done or have not been done in the suffrage states" he said, "and the ad- vancement of the theory that as wo- men have not passed certain laws they should be disfranchised, might also be applied to the state where men alone vote. It would be logical.
 A Deliberate Lie.
 Another statement has been made to the effect that the women of Colo radO have not tried to get through the Legislature bills regarding child la bor. This is a deliberate lie. Last year had seven of these bills drafted. Three I gave to woman in the leg islature and the others I distributed among four senators. The women got the three bills passed. but the senators could not even get theirs out of com mittee." - Women Good as Probation Officers
 He referred to women's work as po- lice and probation officers and said he believed each had done more good than forty men could have, Or would have done "The net results of wo- man suffrage would be good,'' he declared
 He was asked: Would it not be better if the women in this assembly were at home attending to their chil- dren?"
 suffragists Really True to Their
 Homes.
 Judge Lindsey replied to this say ing that until the bill placing the ques- ton of woman suffrage before the vo- ters- passed the legislature, women would be false to their homes and children if they did not utilize some of their time in trying to bring about it's passage.
