The Third
House Was
a Hummer
Big Audience Simply Con-
VnlSed as Stunt After Stunt
TrOd on each Others Heels
Holman is the Star

From start to finish the burlesque
legislative session given by the Third
House last night was a gale Of laugh
! ter, veritable scream. Let 'er buck"
was the slogan. Hundreds of persons
were turned away, for the big house
chamber was crowded to capacity with
hundreds standing. The crowd even
extended out into the rotunda lobby.
The program was carried off with
snap and vim. Something new every
minute with almost continuous laugh
ter The speeches and manner Of IL
! Illustrating the foibles of senator's and
representatives, and their methods of
conducting business, were splendid
and full Of keen shafts of satire, wit,
irony and sarcasm-even wicked cru
city. Those who took the main parts
We're well nigh perfect.
Glen o. Holman, who impersonated
Speaker Macarthur, and later posed as
Representative Hagood, Is a genuine
humorist, actor and mimic. His arbi-
trary rulings and manner of giving
them were excruciatingly amusing.
The fun started with w. F. Drager
as temporary speaker, Hon. Allen Ea-
ton as the speakers personal page
and Speaker Macarthur as temporary
chief clerk, A fight developed over
election of permanent speaker. In
marvellous flights Of oratory McCourt-
ney nominated Holman, Huntington
nominated Charles Garland. There
were similar seconding speeches, and
the name Of Miss Harley was placed
in nomination. Holman who was de-
clared elected, was escorted to the
rostrum by Dollie Gray, senate page.
His speech of acceptance, a fine bur-
lesque Of Speaker Macarthur, was
punctuated with roars of laughter
The fun now became fast and furi-
Gus, starting with his appointment of
Senator Dan Kellaher and Representa-
tive John Westerlund, big fat men as
pages. His instructions on their du-
ties to Danny and Johnny We're side
splitting. Representative Schnoerr
was appointed sergeant-at-arms Miss
Williams asked that the courtesies OF
the house be extended to Theodore
Roosevelt, and that gentleman, i'm
persOnated by Miss Movie Lounsbury,
took seat on the floor, grnning de-
llghtedly. Speaker Holman's appoint
ment Of burlesQue committees started
fresh outbursts,
Then Governor West, impersonated
by Senator Joseph was escorted to the
rostrum amid cheers and applause.
and made a brief witty speech.
Now came perhaps the loudest
scream Of the evening, with the intro
ductlon Of new bills. The spectacle
Of Pages Johnny Westerlund and Dam
ny Kellaher skipping gracefully down
the aisles and gathering bills, and re-
turning them TO the clerks desk, Ia
one that will never be forgotten. II
was ludicrous in the extreme.
AS Clerk Macarthur started to read
the bills, Governor West" got up an
grlly and shouted, "Why should ! stay
here and listen to all this?"

Has Taft
PutupJOb
on Wilson
SpreCkIeS Points out That
Taft'S Order Placing Funds
in Banks, WiIICauSe Much
Trouble for Wilson
k%*%+%%+*%k%%*\+&%\&&&*

New York, Feb Possibility of
heavy financial storms confronting the
administration of President Woodrow
Wilson soon after his Inauguration
March 4, unless congress investigates
the cause and purport of treasury
circular No. g." is seen here today by
Rudolph Spreckles, the millionaire, of
San Francisco.
"The circular directs that customs
money be deposited in national
banks" said Spreckles today. 81 be-
lieve the order directly conflicts with
the law.
ut seems strange that the Taft ad-
ministration should issue such an or
der on the eve Of going out of office.
We have the right 10 question the me-
tive which promoted such action. I'm
less the order is promptly rescinded
we will witness a marked and unusual
increase iE del ob'ts, principally in
New York banks, the increase amount
ing to $2OO,OO0,0OO annually in New
York alone. When the new admins.
tratton takes office 1t will be obliged
to demand the return Of these funds to
the government. The effect of the
withdrawal Of so many millions is
bound to cause financial difficulties.
II believe the people are entitled to
know who is responsible for the plan,
and why 1t was put out at this tima
On the face of the order there is no
specific provision that the banks shall
give security for the deposits or pro-
Vision that they shall pay interest.
The funds affected by the order
were held in sub-treasuries previous
to February /, when the order became
effective. Spreckles maintains that
II the banks use the money they must
do so in such way as to have 1t sub
ject to quick call, In this manner, he
declares, It will find its way through
the usual channels to Wall street,
where 1t would be loaned on call.
Therefore, he contends, If millions are
suddenly recalled, the demand would
go directly into the call money mon
ey market in New York, forcing the
immediate withdrawal of enormous
sums.
Spreckles believes that the order
will be held Illegal, and that Presi-
dent Wilson will be forced to rescind
1t. 1t is known that the situation has
been personally presented to Wilson.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Prediction by
Rudolph Spreckles, a San Francisco
millionaire, in New York, that the
country is threatened with financial
difficulties as a result Of treasury
circular No. g." which directs that Gus
toms money be deposited with national
banks, caused the house committee on
expenditures in the treasury depart
ment TO start an investigation on its
own account. Acting Chairman Young
announced he would ask Secretary Of
the Treasury Macveagh to testify be-
fore his committee regarding circular
Assistant Secretary Bailey's expla-
nation of the order" said Young
"makes It appear that the new plan is
a spledld idea, but | believe that Mac
Veagh will soon tell more, in view OF
Mr.. Spreckles statement"

Stolen Goods identified.

Jewelry belonging to Ed. Baker, Joe
hReeso G..d Charles Birdsall was iden-
titled this morning, and pair OF
practically new shoes we're claimed by
Mr.. Baker There is not a reasonable
doubt existing but that these two men
performed the recent depredations,
and 1t was through the diligent search
and efforts on the part Of Mr.. Gains
and Chief Shedeck that they were fl
nally corraled.
Watches, stick pins, rings, necklaces
and many other articles of value were
uncovered when the officers ripped
the bed clothing to pieces in the lodg-
ing house where the men were arrest
ed. They evidently intended to secret
their haul until such time as they
could leave the city safely.
Mr. Gains and Chief Shedeck were
first attracted by the peculiar manner
in which the two men acted in front OF
the lodging house. While both would
approach the building, only one ven
tured inside The other would stand
about the entrance. Donning over
coats, Chief Shedeck and Mr.. Gains
entered the building after one of the
men had departed and the other was
on watch. They searched the room
occupied, and found the stolen prop
erty, and, while in this act, the one
who left, returned, and was immedi-
ately arrested. The arrest Of the 9TH
er fellow followed when the officers
regained the street.

animation this morning, both men de-
