Third Party in Congress, But

WASHINGTON, March l1.-There
win be no third party organization in
the house, according to the admission
OF progressives today. There may be a
few congressman who will style them
selves progressives or independents. but
they will not form any organization.
and ii was further learned that the
majority of the so-called progressives
will enter the Republican caucus to be
called shortly before Apri, l.
These progressves win refuse To be
bound by any of the actions OF the
caucus, and if any attempt is made to
bind them to a program they will walk
out. 1t is understood that the Repub-
hcans will make no attempt to en-
force any binding agreements on mem
bers who enter the caucus and, in fact,
lit will merely amount to conference.
There will be almost no opposition to
the designation Of James r. Mann. of
Illinois, as minority leader. Some at

himself as being heartily in favor of

'Postmasters of the second and third
class also should be placed under the
civil service and possibly even those of
the first class. This would effectually
prevent the employment of politicians as
postmasters and would work for greatly
increased efficiency"

5EsAN A REAL TREAT.

The big feature of the Grand vaude
vile bill this week is George Beban, in
his rewritten version of The Sign of the
Rose" All the intense pathos of the
flower shop scene is retained. the story
is entirely connected and interesting, the
support Is splendid, and Mr. Beban as
the grief-stricken Italian father is the
equal of his more pretentious work in the
three-act play. 1t is not necessary to
have seen the big play to thoroughly un-
derstand and enjoy the vaudeville version.
Last nights audience gave him a splen-
did ovation at the close of the act.
Beginning with McClain and Mack, in
the unfortunate opening position, and pre-
senting a snappy musical act. on to Lowe
and Sterling, a ragtime duo, featuring a
very pretty girl, then Bert Melrose, who
falls from the top of four stacked tables,
and who has a ridiculously funny line
Of silent comedy. then Nellie Nichols, well
known here as the girl who sings the song
wherein she wants to know what is her
nationality, and the O'Meer sisters and
a young man (name not given who do a
classy tight wire act, featuring dancing
on the wire, the bill has something all
the way which is pleasing For one
thing, it has more girls that are good
looking and shapely-and this helps lots.
This weeks bill is almost wholly good.

Indignation High0ver CharterFate'
*.+
Councils Act Denounced by Mayor.
Plot to Perpetuate Spoils Winner

Vised charter undertakes to i'm
prove upon some Of the provisions
Of the old charter as follows:
Street Repair Board.
(a) The sanitary tax Of 50 per
lot is abolished. This seems to be
a relic Of village days, to be re-
moved Us soon as the growth of the
city permits, and that time has now
arrived, and said tax should be
eliminated.
C5) The repair and construction
Of streets. sewers and bridges are
put under a new board called the
board Of public works, which board
is along the lines Of such boards
as the board of EDUCATION, board of
health. etc. The citizens from each
ward are given representation on
this board. and a hearing is as
sured On any and all complaints
that they may desire to make, as
well as on all protests against pro-
posed improvements which they
think the city should hear. But
the best idea Of the board of pub
liC works Is to provide an efficient
and continuous supervision of the
officers and employees in charge of
the vast work which the city un-
dertakes every year in connection
with streets, sewers and bridges,
and this board, so constituted, will
secure continuity Of plans and
methods of work.
Number of Boards Reduced.
(cD The number of boards is re
duced, and the same general pro-
visions are established for all, to-
wit: There is a head of each OF
the several departments, and the
boards will exercise supervision
over such heads of departments and
the other officers of such depart
ments ard the management there
Of but one board is not given
greater power than the other, all
having the same general authority
with reference to their particular
departments. Each regular mem
ber of the board, under this pro-
posed charter, receives IS for each
monthly meeting attended provid-
ed If more than one meeting is
held in d month 10 additional COM
pensation shall be paid. This will
secure the same results as are Sc
cured in large corporations which
fhkiT Hiraptn q
for each monthly attendance on
board meetings. 1t is believed that
this provision will be OF distinct
benefit 10 the city and secure full
attendance and greater efficiency in
the workings of the several boards.
For Initiative and Recall.
(d) This revised charter pro-
poses an initiative on basis of 10
per cent of the registered voters; a
referendum on basis of Is per cent
of the registered voters, and a re-
call on basis of % per cent of the
registered voters, the recall apply
ing not only to the mayor, alder
men, councilmen and other officers
elected by vote of the people, but
also to all board members and all
heads of departments. These per-
centages seem neither too small nor
too large, and will give the citizens
an opportunity to give these pro-
visions fair trial whenever de-
sired

VAN is BACK.

Billy B. Van and the Beaumont sis
ters, and a bunch of other girls and
comedians, are back at the Lyric, to be
there all this week
And they have brought with them "A
Lucky Hoodoo." Van is the same ire
pressible imp of old, and the whole COM
pany made friends of last nights au-
dience from the beginning.
IA Lucky Hoodoo" is in two acts. In
the first Van is a property man in a
vaudeville theater. He mixes the acts
up and runs the place generally to suit
himself and incidentally makes lot of
fun.
In the second act he is the office boy
of a seer Madame Holdemdigits, and i'm
personates the fortune teller, getting a
lot more fun out of this.
A big, bunch of well-costumed chorus
girls help Van and his show, and the
Beaumont sisters look splendid and sing
and dance well.
A, feature of the show is the song
''Loyey Lane" accompanied by the Tan
go dance, rendered by Miss Jeannette
Reynolds and Joseph P. Dolan.
The show is well worth seeing, not only
for its fun, but for its musical numbers
as well.

HARRIS BILL IS ON
Springfield, H., June 1o.--The poll
ticians in the House who serve Big
Business last night began the chIoro-
forming Of the Harris minimum
wage bill.
The bill is compromise measure
and hardly worth the paper it is
written on as a minimum wage bill.
1t provides merely for the appoint
ment by the governor of a commits
sion of three to investigate the wages
paid women and report to the next
general assembly.
The original idea of the Harris
bill was that it would be handy to
choke off the O'Hara low wages COM
mission and kill any legislation urged
by the O'Hara commission.
But poor, emasculated compro-
mise as it was, Big Business was
afraid of the Harris bill.
1t was passed by the Senate and
came up in the House last night,
Rep. Munro, Progressive, urged
that the bill be advanced to second
reading without reference to a COM
mittee.
Speaker Mckinley began gaveIling
Munro into silence. Reps. Elliott and
Zolla, both Progressives, ranged
themselves beside Munro, and began
shouting steadily for a hearing.
Speaker Mckinley ordered Door
keeper Keim to suppress" Munro,
Elliott and Zolla.
Munro ordered Keim away from
his seat. Assistant Doorkeeper Leon
ard came running to help his chief.
Munro jumped from his chair and
started for Keim. Lee O'Neil Browne
and a dozen other Democrats start
ed for the three Progressive men,
bers on the run.
The House finally refused to sus-
pend the rules and advance the bill

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-06-19

The same legislators who defeats
ed the Harris minimum wage bill last
night voted to raise their own salar-
les from 81, 900 to $1,750 a year.
But perhaps the legislators should
not be so greatly blamed for their
action in regard to the Harris bill.
Of course, it was wrong of them
to kill bill so obviously for the gen
eral good, but then they were in a
rather peevish state when the bill
was called.
Some rude persons had been TAX
ing unheard of liberties with our
honorable, if you don't care what
you say, legislators earlier in the
evening.
One such person had set off reg
ular Fourth Of July collection Of fire.
crackers in the hall to begin with.
You can imagine how this disturbed
gentlemen whose nerves always are
in rather bad condition.
Then another bright-minded per-
son scattered sneezing powder all
through the House, so that every
member who wanted to call another
member a liar had to sneeZe about
six times while doing it.
This naturally added to the peev-
ishness of the legislators and doubt
less many of them were scarcely in
their own minds when they voted to
raise their own salaries and voted
against even finding out whether
working women get living wages.
At least, it is charitable to sup
pose SO.
