GLOVER CASE MAY
REACH HIGH COURT
Believed There Will Be Test of
Congress Authority to Pro-
tect Its Members.

Far-reaching questions of authority
will be raised in the House when the
Glover-S;ms case, involving the right
of the House TO punish for contempt,
where House member is assaulted, is
taken up for consideration. Moreover,
these questions are likely to be raised
in the Supreme Court of the United
States, for it is generally believed that
the case VIII find its termination there,
and that there will be a test of what
the authority of one OF the bodies of
Congress is with respect to the protec-
ton of its members.
1t is open to serious doubt. in the
minds of some of the ablest lawyers in
the House, whether the courts, even the
Supreme Court, has any authority to
interfere with The right of the House 10
punish in order to insure protection OF
its members from assault for what they
say on the floor.
1t is argued that Congress Is 4 CO.
ordinate branch of the Government,
that the Supreme Courts authority dee
not transcend that of Congress. and that
IL is a proposition which cannot in Tea-
son be maintained that the House or
Senate has not all the necessary power
TO see that whatever steps needful are
taken in order to insure its business
being transacted without outside inter-
ference.
If former Senator Bailey makes an
argument in the House as counsel for
Mr. Glover. as ii has been stated he
would, House lawyers anticipate ne will
make a great effort. The la wyers on
the House committee in charge OF the
case expect this, and. as they are u.it
in believing the House has power to
punish for contempt, they are making
unusual preparations.
Judge Prouty. of Iowa, who is one
of LAWYERS on the House commit
tee, expects to see the case carried to
the Supreme Court. In cases of this

GAYETY.
.'The Cracker Jacks.7

Lots Of fun, numerous catchy songs, ard
twenty pretty girls are among the many
reasons why Bob Manchester's Cracker
Jacks" which opened its annual en-
gagement at the Gayety yesterday, should
pay to full houses during the remainder
OF the week The show is decidedly above
the average burlesque performance, and
the merriment so evenly is distributed
among the principals that it is difficult
TO pick the winner" All of them were
warmly received by the capacity audience
which greeted them yesterday.
Johnnie Jess, Leo Kendall, Dan Niblo,
Jim Doherty, and Pat Maloney, all old
time favorites with Washington audi
ences, have lost none of their ability as
fun makers, and kept the house in a
constant uproar.
Beatrice Harlowe, playing the part of
an actress, proved that she was one in
reality, and was responsible for the song
hit of the show. Her fetching costume
in her number, international Rag" won
a number of well-merited encores. Fran
ces Riley and Dan Niblo, in a singing and
dancing speciality, won the favor OF the
gallery gods. Eta Hastings and ZeIla
Rambo rounded out the supporting cast,
and were clever in their parts.
The chorus is unusually young and
pretty, and made no less than a dozen
changes during the performance. The
entire show reflects a decided advance
in burlesque, and is a sure cure for any
one with the blues"

In no uncertain language does II tell the

shut our eyes to the facts set before US,
nor close our ears to the voice raised In

every mother ought to heed It's lesson,
for unfortunately three-fourths OF them
are guilty OF Just the sins OIL omission

of the man to whose room she comes,

and his wife a true helpmeet- So bent

Those indescribable pangs OF embarrass-

Not alone for the ignorant one who at
tempts to send the contents OF the

elimination OF the finger bowl, but from
q standpoint Of sanitation.
IF we are bound to have this institu-
