RUNS ON "ANyT' PLATFORM.
BarnhiH Says "Not Votes, hut
Homes for womcn.''

John B. Barnhil, Democratic candi-
date for Representative-at-large in Illi-
nois on an anti-suffrage platform, claims
that the pledges OF support extended to
him far surpass his expectations. His
plank is Not Votes, but Homes and
Husbands for Women Commenting on
the support which has been promised
him, Mr.. Barnhill said last night:
1T is most gratifying to me TO find
that, my platform appeals as strongly
to women as to men. Not alone the
women and men of Illinois assure me
support, but in Washington also my pro-
posals are well received by both sexes.
Il know of no sadder sight than you
can see as you go through the depart
ments in Washington and note the thou
sands of women whose silvery locks pro-
claim more eloquently than words that
they were victims of an inverted civili-
zation.
THE great majority of these women
undoubtedly would prefer to have homes
OF their own, but the most enlightened
nation on the globe is distancing all
other nations in its efforts to drive wom-
en- from the home and the leading fem
inists act the part of applauding angels
when they see this tendency"

CALLS PROGRESSIVES
:. "BUMBLE BEE" PARTY
Representative Payne Fires Parting
Shot at Murdock for "Buzzing"
in the House.
ALL FACTIONS In NICE MX-UP

4 new name yesterday was given the
political party OF which Theodore Roose-
welt is the head and front. In the course
of a debate in the House. Representative
Payne, the veteran Republican member
from New York, called II the humble
bee" party.
Representative Murdock. of Kansas. the
Progressive leader. had been buzzing
around all day, and his performance had
got on Mr.. Payne's nerves. The Demo
Gratis had been having a row over ap-
preparations and Progressives and Re.
publicans were drawn into the contro'
Versy.
Representative Fitzgerald. of New York
the appropriations chairman. complained
that Democrats were voting against tho
Appropriations Committee and the Pro-
gressives were following the lead ''oi
their arch enemy, Mr.. Mann"
1T is true" said Representative Mann
that the Republicans and Progressives
think and act together on a number Of
things. And eventually We are going Il
get together and then woe unto you
Democrats
The gentleman is partly right" said
Mr.. Murdoch. The Republicans and
Progressives will get together, but the
Republicans will come over to u.s.
Democratic laughter greeted this proph-
esy. Mr.. Murdock criticised the Demo-
cratic party and its treatment OF Lou
isiana. declaring that New Orleans had
been deprived of a reserve bank. that the
sugar industry of the State had been
broken and that the tolls repeal bill had
destroyed the advantage OF the canal to
that city.
The Republican party yesterday at
tempted a swat at the New Orleans
mint said Murdoch. The Progressives
stood against the Democrats when they
We're against Louisiana and next fall we
will get the first foothold in the solid
South. There will be a Progressive Con-
gresham from Louisiana on this floor
after March 1. l9l5'' -
You stand as much chance in Louis
lana as anywhere else" said Mr.. Mann.
Mr.. Payne then jabbed at the Pro-
gressives.
Il don't know why the gentleman from
Kansas was voting to continue a mint
at New Orleans" said Mr.. Payne. but
the cat is out Of the bag. He thinks the
Democratic party has been treating New
Orleans badly and that by getting a half
dozen employees in the New Orleans mint
he will carry the State for the Bumble
Bee party. He doesn't realize his party
was biggest at the bCrninS and has been
growing smaller ever since. My friend
has not interpreted correctly the returns
from New Jersey. The Progressives are

THE gentleman will not run for Con-
sress I'm the old Kansas district. Why?
He knows what the result would be IL
he runs for the House. but he proposes

De left behind, but he has an idea that
'uuping for the Senate is a bigger funeral
for the House"

low journalism that Miss Dorothy Arnold
New York heiress. had been at her home

No trace of Miss Arnold. who disap-

son. John, and John S. Keith. the family
lawyer. declared most emphatically that
the report from Pittsburgh was without
foundation.
Heretofore. I have refused to have the
privacy of my home invaded" said MIR.
Arnold. but the statement of District
Attorney Jackson is so outragcously

you that no word has como to us from

DISTRICT DAY
George Tax Bill, Amended to
XII Organic Act, Comes
Up Tomorrow.
STRONG FIGHT IMPENDING
Vote of Members Means Conclusive
Test of Sentiment Toward
National Capital.

Unless District day again is displaced
in the House to expedite the progress
of appropriation bills, tomorrow will
witness the most conclusive test in years
Of House sentiment toward the National
Capital.
The George tax bill, emasculated in
committee Of most of its commendable
features, and carrying amendments de-
signed to make unnecessary Federal aid
toward the maintenance Of the District,
: Is next on the calendar of District busi-
ness. AS reported by the committee, the
pill will be opposed by Mr.. George and a
large following in the House, irrespective
Of partisan affiIiation.
Seeks Repeal of Organic Act.
The amendments seeks to accomplish
the repeal of the organic act of ISIS, by
liking a rate of taxation so high that
HE resultant revenues shall be sufficient
10 support even an extravagant District
administration without financial assist
lnce from the Federal government
This is to be accomplished by fixing
4 tax-rate of Is cents on the dollar to be
levied upon real estate and all forms
sf tangible and intangible personality.
As now administered the tax rate is 10
.ents on the dollar on real and tangible
personal property. "A very restricted
taxation Of certain forms of intangible
personaI property is-provided under the
existing administration Of the law.
As originally framed by Henry George,
ir.. following an exhaustive survey of
tax conditions, the bill provided for a
flexible tax rate to be fixed by the
Commissioners in conformity with the
requirements of the budget. 1t made no
provision for the taxation of personal
property, tangible or otherwise, leaving
In operation the existing law on that
point Mr. George takes the position
that the original bill was promised upon
an investigation dealing only with real
sstate taxation, and that any changes to
the personal property law should be
promised upon a similar investigation.
willing to Compromise.
By way of compromise. it is understood
Mr.. George would be willing to have the
bill instruct the Commissioners to fix the
same rate Of taxation for tangible per-
sonalty as for real estate. Whether Mr..
George is willing to acquiesce in further
changes 10 the original bill is problematic.
The bill also privdes for new and neces-
sary tax machinery. This part the COM
