FATHER OF PHRENOLOGY.
Gall, Vienna Physician, First to Find
Disposition in Skull Formation.

The first public notice of the ''F'ath-

August IA. 1898.
Gall was a practicing physician of
Vienna, and early in his career he be-
came firm believer in the idea that
the talents and disposition of men are
dependent upon the functions of the
brain, and, furthermore, that they may
be inferred with perfect exactitude
ard precision from the external APP
pearances of the skull.
Gall was an able man; he set forth
bis theory in graphic, unctuouS man :

all Europe at the top notch of excite

An unusually large number of early
attractions have laec licked for tn

ing Pictures have been secured fol

special matinee of the talking
pictures will be given Tuesday after
noon The program will be changed
at each performance. The evening
movies commence at S:15; the mat
inee at g. The pictures are the new
est sensation of Thomas A. Edison,
he whom they call the Wizard of Men
10 Park.
The production of ''Salome," which
comes to the Grand on Wednesday
night, is said to be a masterpiece of
stagecraft. The story deals with the
intrigues scandals and love affairs of
the court of King Herod. The beau
tiful music of Jules Massenet wildly
portrays the story.
From a standpoint of scenic invest
ure it is doubtful if anything more
pretentious has ever been taken on
tour. The seven scenes from the mag
nificent interior of King Herod's
chamber to the starlit view of Jerusa-
lem present a picture as pleasing to
the eye as the music is fascinating.
So elaborate are the stage settings
that the company carries a sectional
extension or apron to use where the
regular stage is not large enough to
accommodate them.
The cast includes Joseph F. Sheehan,
Madame Antoinette LIE Brun, Mile
Lydia Sturtevant, Charles Swickard,
Harold Gels. Lawrence Wallace, Connie
Glyn Cocklin, William Young and
half dozen others. There is a chorus

Utah Senator Says 1t Is Idle
Dream to Believe That Price
Will Decrease.

Discussion Of the sugar schedule,
which was begun yesterday in the Sen
ate, was resumed today. Senator
Smoot spoke in opposition to free sugar.
The Utah Senator predicted the price
of sugar would be reduced by the re-
fners until the cane and beet sugar
producers were destroyed, and that the
refners would then reap their profits
by boosting prices to higher levels than
ever
He said it was AN idle dream" to
think sugar would be permanently
cheaper He declared the American
sugar refiners had in their grasp the
entire sugar business of this country,
and added:
I do not say that there is any illegal
combination among the various sugar
refiners today. l do not know. But l
do say that there is no real effective
competition. ! believe that before the
ink is dry on the signature to this BILL
if it becomes a law, there will be an
effective understanding among the sugar
refiners by which they will act to-
gether to drive out any foreign COM
petition.
Claus A. Spreckels has been quoted
as boasting that the American re1ners
have nothing to fear from free sugar,
because sugar. could be refined more

desire to suppress the legislation. it is

IN the amended and more effective form.
ProSressives of both parties are de-

Democrats both expected their regular

BILL AIMS BLOW At
CAMPAIGN FUND EVIL
Clapp Measure, O. KID by Sem
ate Committee, in Line With
Times Recommendation.
By IUDSON c. WELLIVER.

The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections has reported favorably
the bill by Senator Clapp to prohibit
members of Congress soliciting cam
paign funds.
This bill, which is looked upon as a
hrst step toward ending the existence
of the Congressional campaign commit
tees or both parties, was introduced by
Senator Clapp following the investiga-
ton of campaign funds, their origin,
and methods of collection. A year or
more ago The Washington Times called
upon Congress for legislation that
should end the scandal of Congressman
and Senators hustling campaign funds
in the money centers one day and then
hurrying back to their seats to vote on
legislation in which givers of the funds
might be vitally interested. That move
ment has now spread to the whole
country, which has recognized the iu-
propriety of such a political organiZa-
ton as the Congressional campaign
committee. The demand for abolition
of these committees-Republic and
Democratic alike-had been seconded by
press and public.
Progressives Want Limitations.
Senator Clapp's bill. as first intro
Guced, would have put these commit
tees out OF business II passed, for n
provided that members should not
solicit campaign funds and should not
serve on any political committee, and
that, further. campaign funds raised
in one State should not be sent to and
used in another.
AS reported, the measure includes only
the first of these three propositions; but
the end is not there. When II comes
up in the Senate the proposition to pro-
hibit interstate traffic in campaign
funds will be offered as an amendment
and it is generally believed it will carry.
