HOUSE MEMBERSHIP 433.

Washington. Feb. 9.-Maine will
for the next 10 years. That was set
tied this afternoon, when the House
by a good majority adopted the Crum-
packer Rurleigh bill for total mem
bership of 433. The victory was clean
cut and decisive all along the line 1t
was due in no small measure To the
efforts of Names representatives on
the floor. Every man of the four vas
there working with might and main
to help carry out the plans that had
been perfected by weeks of careful
tactful work.
Governor Burleigh. as 10 years ago,
now the ranking member of the caucus
committee, had very large share in
their arrangements as far as the franz
ing of the bill and the organization
for getting votes was concerned. His
figures of the strength that could be
depended upon held good through to
the final poll. Every hostile amend
ment was voted down.
Reps. Allen, Swasey and Guernsey
helped greatly in the fight. No more
helpful assistance was rendered than
came from Rep Elect Asher {. Kinds.
His wide acquaintance with the men,
bers of both parties and his knowledge
of parliamentary tactics served the
cause splendidly.
The bill now goes to the Senate for
approval there, but this is largely a
formalty. The Senate will pass it as
1t WAS passed by the House The
measure should become law within Il

THEATRICAL PITFALLS.
Into Which Even the Wise Ones
Fall.

Running a theater is an exceedingly
hazardous business, dependent entirely
upon the whims of the public, which the
producers are not able TO forecast with
any satisfactory accuracy.
AT the outset Of a season of thirty
weeks with a. New York theater," to
quote from Harry p. Mawson's article in
our next Sunday Magazine, ''the produc-
ing manager faces an expenditure of at
least $4,000. not including cost Of seem
cry, etc, and he cannot tell whether the
goods he expects to display are going TO
find a ready sale or not. The public is
tickle, and women make a successful
play. Need we say any more?
And. when We look back, one manager
in a past season produced fourteen con-
secutve failures, some Of them so bad
that they lasted only a performance or
two. Now, there are about twenty
first-class theaters in New York. the
weekly fixed charges are, at a low esti-
mate, 100000, and the seasons liabilities
over 100000. Add to this all the thea
tiers in the country-there are said to bs
5000 of all grades-and the figures mount
up to where the average person cannot
decipher them at all

ANOTHER FAILURE
cFrom s. F. Bulletin. May 1. 'oa.)


Among many late letters announcing favorable
| results there number from physicians, all
Hot Springs. Ark, telling Of the recovery OF two
physicians.
The same week a physician OF this city report
ed failure. He stated that he gave the Com
pound at the last moment in extreme case Of
Bright's Disease and that he had conhdenc.
in the treatment, and as the patient expired a
few days thereafter that Ii confirmed his opin-
ion The secret OF the several successes first re-
ferred TO lays in the fact that the physicians
realizing the admitted futity OF the orthodox
treatment put themselves their patients on
the Compound before they were in extremis. Not
in the last case, and the reason for the fall
ure is obvious.
Let us illustrate: We are told that there is a
physician In South San Francisco by the name
of Gardner who has never had failure In a
matbod "a bnf We win say that when his fame
causes patients TO be transferred TO his treat
ment after the attending PHYSICIANS have de.
clare6 the case hopeless that his failures Will
then commence. His successes have been In
cases that for him while there was some
thing 10 work on.
in is a fact that many cases of Bright's Dis
ease in eAtremis have been rescued. but there
is no certainty when the treatment Is withheld
until the last few days. When Futons Renal
Compound is administered In time IL matters
little whether the case be chronic or not, nesrly
nine -tenths get results, the text books 10 the
contrary notwithstanding.
we again say that the presence OF albu-
men, casts and dropsy in the chronic stage that
are supposed 10 make up an incurable case or
Bright's Disease is now no bar to recovery
IL is obvious that IL the treatment Is withheld
until there is recuperatfve power there viii
also be failures.
In view of the declared futility of everything
known up the development OF Fulton's Renal
Compound we ask in the name OF conscience
how there can be any question in the mind OF
any human being as TO what ought TO be given
in such cases and why there should be any delay
in giving the only! thing in the world that ofers
hope.
Fulton's Renal Compound can be had In your
city of James O'Donnen.

erecting stands at the Capitol and White

the District revenues.
These are only a few of the changes
proposed by various members of Congress
which will be carefully considered by the
appropriations committee. Undoubtedly
some. if not all. of them would find sup
port i'm the House. But the fact that the
Senate would be slow to rip the organic
act and the partnership arrangement to
pieces, as acceptance Of any or all of these
proposals would do, indicates that the
District bill appropriating for the ex-
penses Of the District for the fiscal year
1913 will probably hang between the two
houses from the time of its passage until
late in the session and will be the sub
ject of prolonged and animated discus
sion.

from The Star asking if he would con-
firm or deny a published report to the
effect that Mr.. Hichborn and his wife

reply set forth that any alleged interview
with him on the subject was without

VERDICT
BRINGS Jury CENSURE
Judge Briscoe Cannot Under
stand Why First Degree
Was Not Found.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October %
Severe criticism of the jury for not
bringing in a verdict Of murder in the
first degree was voiced late yesterday
afternoon by Chief Judge John p Bris-
coe, presiding over the court of Prince
Georges county. in passing sentence upon
Harry w. Phibrooks. convicted of man.
slaughter in connection with the death of
Frederick Springmann, prominent farm
er of Kent district. AS he called upon
the prisoner to stand up for sentence
Judge Briscoe declared he could not un-
derstand how twelve sensible men could
have adduced finding of manslaughter
in the face of the evidence presented. The
court also grilled Philbrooks, declaring
that Philbrooks' record had been thor
oughly investigated and that it was TO
fault of the court that his neck had been
spared. Judge Briscoe thereupon i'm
posed the maximum sentence permitted
by the law after conviction Of manslaugh-
ter. sending Philbrooks to the peniten-
tiary for term Of ten years.
All through the verbal caStigatiOn of
the court the prisoner maintained an atti-
tude of absolute Indifference, and when
penitentiary in Baltimore he laughed and
joked with the guards, promising them he
would take pleasure In visiting Kent dis
trict again ten years hence.
No Eyewitness to Crime.
The crime for which Philbrooks was
convicted occurred about o'clock We'd
nesday morning. October II. There was
no eyewitness to the affair, and the only
story of its occurrence was that related
by the accused man.
PhiIbrooks was a hired hand on the
Springmann farm, and according to his
testimony at the trial, he became involved
in a struggle with his employer on the
floor of the barn. He declared that
Springmann tried to hit him with a club
and then grabbed him about the neck. To
save himself the prisoner said he choked
Springmann until the latter released his
hold. He thought his employer had
tainted but when he found that the latter
was dead he placed the body on the floor
and notified Mrs. Springmann.

MIXED FOURSOME AT
BANNOCKBURN CLUB
Unusual Interest Displayed in
the Regular Monthly
Contests.

The members of the Bannockburn Golf
Club are holding mixed foursome tour
nament this month, and, judging from
the great interest shown, another tour
ney will be held in November.
In the Bannockburn foursome a side
is composed of a lady and gentleman.
The partners strike off alternately from
through the green. During half of the
month the pairs. while playing with an
other pair, are permitted to turn in
as many nine-hole medal scores as they
may wish. The two best scores are
selected by the committee and the pairs
are arranged in tours for match play.
A handsome prize is offered by the
club to the two best nine-hole scores at
medal play and to the winning pair in
each four at match play. No pair will
be awarded more than one prize.
The result of the qualifying rounds to
October ID, with arrangements for match
play in the first four, is as follows:

DIR. Thomas j. w. Brown said 1t was
the intention of the green committee TO
hold qualifying rounds during the first
half of each month, but so much In
terest has been shown in this kind or
play that it was decided to fix November
as the last day for turning in qualify
ing cards for second mixed foursome
tournament.
These Journeys are open to members
of the club and their guests. 1t is in
teresting to note that no form of play
has ever created nearly as much interest
among the woman members of the club
as these competitions, and some exciting
matches are expected in the next few
weeks.

PASSENGERS REFUSE
TO move UP FRONT"
Conductor Orders Car Stopped
Until Order Is 0beyed,
But Loses Out.

A rule of the Capital Traction Company
that passengers must "move up front
to secure the easier operation of pay-as-
you-enter cars. and the refusal of passen.
gers to comply with the order, delayed
traffic on the 14th street line early last
night when the conductor of a north
man to stop the car at P street until the
order was obeyed.
The incident occurred shortly after S
o'clock. when the traffic is heavy. All the
seats in the car were filled and there
were at least eighteen persons hanging to
the straps. a majority of the passengers
near the rear entrance being women.
The conductor called out to the passen-
gers as the car passed Thomas Circle:
make room up front, please
But the words had no effect. In the
meantime several more woman passengers
boarded the car. and there was slight
surging of passengers to the front Of the
car. where a few already were standing.
This did not satisfy the conductor.
Move up 'front.'" he said. sharply, re-
peating the order. Not a person budged.
Again he gave the order. with the same
result. Either the passengers did not
hear him or they did not want TO near
him.
Finally he opened the rear door again.
stuck his head into the car and shouted
you must move up front on this car or
I will give the order to stop until You
do" This was like throwing down the
gauntlet to the passengers, and there We're
murmurs of protest.
One passenger said: stop the car.
then
Car Comes to Stop.
There was a sharp ring and the motor
man brought the car to dead stop.
This car won't start until you move up
'front.'" said the conductor.
The conductor waited for moment and
SO did the passengers. Another minute
and the car in the rear had to come to a
stop, and still the passengers refused to
bulge There was another tense moment
Of waiting and the conductor showed
signs Of nervousness, as he realized the
passengers were willing to block the en-
tire line rather than yield to the reguia-
ton He gave two signals and the cars
moved ahead. It was not until one OF
the passengers remarked, Nov that we
carried our point I'll move up 'front.', that
several others followed his example The
contested condition at the rear entrance
continued. however.
The officials of the Capital Traction
Company maintained that the conductor
was right in attempting to have the
regulation enforced.

DOES NOT REMEMBER
HOLDING Up OFFICER
But Brigham Young, Navy
Yard EmpIoye, Admits He Is
Addicted to Cocaine,

II don't recollect a thing about 1t. From
the time l left my home yesterday even
ing after snuffing some cocaine until !
woke up in the station house this morn
ing my mind is a blank.
Brigham Young, navy yard employee,
gave this explanation to Judge Pugh in
to testimony that he had drawn a loaded
revolver on Lieut.. Fathers of the fourth
precinct last night and threatened to
kill him.
Fathers told the court he was stand
ing at the corner Of AZ street end Mary
land avenue southwest about 1890
o. clock last night, when Young walked
up to him and demanded to know what
he was doing there. When the policeman
told him to move on, he testified, Young
drew a revolver, pointed it at Fathers
and informed him he proposed to shoot
He looked like wild man. Fathers
testified. He covered me with the gun
at every step I took. 1 finally persuaded
him to move op. then followed him into
a saloon. A civilian helped me throw
him down and we took the gun out of
his pocket"
Sentenced in Court.
When asked by the prosecuting attor-
ney if he were addicted to any drug,
Young said he had contracted the cocaine
habit from the use of cough medicine
containing the drug; and the habit had
gotten a hold upon him. After confer
ence between Assistant United States At
torney Ralph Given and Judge Pugh
Young was adjudged guilty of assault and
carrying concealed weapons. and was sem
fenced to Imprisonment for year less a
day in each case.
II do this in the hope that the treatment
you will receive at the hands of ply
sicians in the employ of the District will
permanently cure you Of this affiiction.' -
Judge Pugh told him. You can't have
your liberty in the condition you are in
now. Help with all the will power at
your command to aid the doctors in their
treatment, and make a man of yourself
again.
