ON War TAX BILL
Republicans of House viii Be-
rate Measure in Confer
ence Tonight.
WORK WELL UNDER WAY
Underwood Expects to Complete Con-
sideration of Bill Today and
Introduce 1t Tomorrow.

The Republicans OF the House will
meet in conference tonight to. discus!
the Democratic war-reVenue bill They
will condemn the measure on the ground
that II the Democrats had handled pub
lie expenditures properly, there would
have been no necessity for emergency
revenue legislation. Whether the Repub
licans will decide to vote against the bill
in a body has not been determined.
The Republicans call their party gath
erings conferences" as distinguished
jority. In the last Congress the Republi
can conferences were open to tn,
press. 1t has not yet been decided
whether this practice will be followed
tonight
Chairman Underwood. Of the Ways and
Means Committee, today will submit 4
the Democratic members of the organi'
ration a tentative draft on the revenue
bill. The bill as made up comprises al
of the features Of Schedule A of tht
war-revenue act Of 1893. together with
the specific levies on beer, wines, gaso
line, and tobacco licenses. embodied ir
the resolution passed by the Democratic
caucus Tuesday.
will be enacted in Its entirety will be
decided today. This schedule, which
provides taxes on all form of negotiable
paper, yielded in 1893 approximately S36,
600 900. II is estimated by the Secretary of
the Treasury that the same taxes now
would produce about $4,000. 900 a year.
Chairman Underwood does not agree
with this estimate. He claims that II is
too high. Mr.. Underwood points out
that a large part Of the yield Of Schedule
A in 1888 came from the taxes imposed
on transactions in stock exchanges. These
exchanges are now closed, and probably
VIII remain closed indefinitely, thus
cutting on revenue from that source for
the present. This may force the COM
mittee to increase rates on certain other
forms Of negotiable paper Just what
paper will bear the larger rates Of taxa
ton will be determined today.
Opposition has developed to levying a
tax on checks on the ground that this
particular form of tax is vexations to
the spirit and generally annoying. This
tax would produce anywhere from three
to four million dollars a year.
It is Mr.. Underwood's expectation that
the Democratic members OF the Ways
and Means Committee will complete con-
sideration Of the revenue bill today. The
measure will be introduced tomorrow,
and the Republican members Of the COM
mittee will be invited officially to inspect
1t Monday. Chairman Underwood plans
to call up the bill in the House for dis
cussion Monday or Tuesday.

FRITZ Schef Inaugurated New
Season at BeLaSco Last Night

| themes Of matrimonial entanglements Of
one kind or another, and even though
Miss Schen plays her role with a dash
and charm which is quite captivating,
one must still regret a vehicle for her
which gives her such stinted vocal op-
| portunity.
Featured with the star are Charlotte
Greenwood and Sydney Grant, to whom
we are indebted for the comedy Joys Of
the evening, and they are many. Miss
Greenwood, whose grotesque anatomy
furnished the biggest laugh in The Pass
ing Show" threw the capacity audience
into cachinating fits whenever she am
bled upon the stage last night In her
Long, Lean, Lank Lefty number she
scored big personal hit, and Mr.. Grant
shared honors with her in their THE
Bensonhurst Gavotte'' duet and dance.
Involved with Miss Scheff in her ma
trimoniaI mess are Theodore Babcook,
husband of the first part; Charles Pur-
cell, husband of the second part, and
Claude F'lemming, husband of the third
and last part, each of whom are ex-
cellSnt in the widely varying types of
character which they portray.
Miss Lillian Tucker sings the most
lifting Of the song numbers, 'Dru-
ella" with a good deal of charm, be-
ing also one OF many attractive young
women in the production who know
how to wear stunning frocks charm
ingly, to say nothing Of the sartorial
delights Of Miss Sheff's appearance,
which is one of the features of an
evening of frothy and diverting en-
tertainment
MI. T. Daniel Frawley, under whose
personal direction Pretty Mrs. Smith" is
produced, was present last evening to
see It's first performance since the piece
was remodeled- 1t was originally offered
In Los Angeles by Mr.. Morosco as a
VENICE Tor Kitty Gordon. and later in
both Boston and Chicago. In All 81 which
places it was found tiresomely long. In
lis remodeled form IT will tenant the

engagement at the Belasco, which ends
on Saturday night OF this week.

By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

An audience of midwinter size and bril-.
lance greeted the inaugural of the new
season at the Belasco Theater last even
ing and paid homage to FRITZ Sche1 In
the title role of Pretty Mrs. Smith" a
romantic comedy in three acts, with q
musical setting.
The piece is produced by Oliver Moros-
co, who, in collaboration with Elmer Har-
ris, is responsible for the book, the lyrics
being credited to Earl Carroll and the
music to Henry James and Alfred Robyn.
The story narrates the trials and tribu-
latiOns Of the unfortunate Mrs. Smith,
who annexes three husbands before she
becomes aware that she is a bigamist.
Husband No. one is a missionary and is
supposed to have been drowned at sea
before she trots out the second edition
in the form of a foppish poet, who, in his
tu}n, is a self-confessed suicide, making
way for the more manly personality OF
husband No. three. -.-
While Mrs Smith is at a Palm Beach
hotel the religionist. the fop, and the
current number find her and demand
that she make a choice. whereupon the
gay little lady finds that her last ven
ture is her best one, and the poet ana
minister retire with both grace and gal
lantry.
The story is interpOIated with numer.
Gus musical numbers Of an exceptionally
lifting quality. and the piece scintiIlates
with clever comedy lines. furnishing an
evening of such forgetfulness of the
sterner things of life that one is quite
obvious to the too great length of tbs
performance. H.. ....-.-..-
Miss Schen returns to US with nothing
of her old time piQuancy and charm
missing. She is as petite and magnetic
as, ever, and her vocal trills have lost
nohe of their clear and brilliant quality.
The musical setting Of the new comedy
chords her, however, but four vocal op-
Tortunities, which but serve to make the
auditor wish for a greater chance for
the little prima donnas exquisite voice.
