DEMOCRATS FAIL TO
. REACH AGREEMENT
ON CAMPAIGN FUND
Auxiliary Committee Decides
To Forward $1,000 and
Continue Collection.

The appointment of three members OF
a finance committe to assist National
Committeeman John Costello has not
brought peace into the turbulent ranks
OF District Democrats, the auxiliary
committee of the Democratic national
committee voicing Its Independence ct
a meeting last night at the Raleigh
Hotel, at which It was decided to for
ward 1000 to national headquarters and
to continue the quest for funds until
al least 500 shall have been contributed
for each Of the thirty three members.
william Nick. Clayton announced that
many loyal Democrats were questioning
the authority of others than the ma
tionai committeeman to collect funds.
John 8. Miller. chairman OF the COM
mittee, asserted that the right Of the
organization to collect funds was clear
and that its rights had been determined
by Congressman Lloyd, who had taken
the question up with New York leaders.
Others asserted that Costello did not
know the duties Of his office and scoffed
at tho idea OF national committeeman
Il ying to interfere with others In the
collection of campaign funds.
Only $500 in money was available last
been promised and Robert N. Harper,
the treasurer. offered to advance the
balance Of a 1900 check. The primary
business OF this committee Is to aid
the national Congressional committee
So declared NJ. l. Weller, who took a
pointed shot at John Costello for at.
tempting to draw to himself and as
sociates the exclusive right Of collect
ing funds.
Mr.. Clayton Is q member also Of the
several organizations with which Cos.
tello's opponents are connected. These
are also collecting funds and insist thai
they will continue to do SO. The ap.
pointment of three members of q
finance committee was obtained to head
of this indiscriminate collection Of
funds, but the effort has not been sue
cessful.
The District Democrats cannot vote
but they are a valuable source OF cam
paign funds. On this account the ma
tional committee is deeply interested II
the squabble here and has undertaken
to straighten out the tangle without
involving itself In a local fight

There is a charm and a rich flavor of
humanity to The House Next Door. d"
which the Columbia Players will pre-
sent this week.
THE House Next Door is a comedy
in three acts by ]. Hartley Manners,
The story of the play is interesting.
The Cotswold family occupy an old
family mansion largely through the
goodheartedness of Sir Isaac jacobson.
a rich and influential Jew, whose
grandfather was a chalrmaker on the
estate, but who gained vast estates
through industry and perseverance.
Sir John hates all Jews, and especial
ly resents the fact that a son of a for
mer dependent of his family has been
honored with a title. And his ill-temper
is not decreased when he discovers that
his son and daughter are anxious TO
marry into the family which he holds
in such contempt. From the very out
set the contrast between the father, is
beautifully limned. Love interest. des-
pite the dominant character of Sir
John, is assertive throughout the piece
and the lovers, OF course, triumph in
the end. Frances Nelson will play
Esther jacobson and Violet HsminE.
Ulriea cotswold.

pared At Home without Expense.
Grace Benson, famous for the mar
yelous beauty of her hands and arms
In a recent interview, says. III / could
tell every woman about the prescrip-
tion that has caused all this talk about
my hands and arms they could every
one of them make their hands and arms
Just as beautiful as mine. / am glad
to have the opportunity to give my re-
ceipt free to the world. II will help
every woman to improve her personal
appearance"
When l asked her If she would allow
me TO publish the prescription, she
quickly answered.: Certainly, only
too glad to have you do it." Turning
to desk, she wrote It on a slip of
paper and handed II to me. Here II is:
go TO any drug store, get an empty
two-ounce bottle, also a one-ounce bot
tie of Kulux Compound. Pour the entire
bottle of Kulux into the two-ounce bot
tie add quarter of an ounce of witch
hazel, then hll with water. Apply night
and morning"
She further said: This prescription
makes the skin transparent and removes
all defects, such as freckles, tan, sun
spots, roughness and ruddiness. A
single application works a marvellous
transformation. Where low collars are
worn 1t can be applied to the neck with
equally as startling results. 1t is abso-
lutely harmless. and will positively not
stimulate or produce a growth of hair.
