LYRIC THEATEh

Pauline Bush, the leading lady of the "101' Bison Company, former CO star with J. Warren Kerrigan, is fea- tured at the Lyric today in 101" Bison's greatest three-reel drama, The Hopes of Blind Alley"

 The old maids have come in for their full share of the motion picture scenarios, and here is a brand new comedy woven about the romantic conquest of an old maid, entitled "An Old Maids Romance" It is a comedy scream, but interwoven are some pa thetic scenes that make it a great picture story.

NOMINATIONS
 ARE HELD UP
BANKING COMMITTEE REFUSES TO CONFIRM NOMINATION OF
 THOMAS JONES, CHICAGO.
Warbure's Nomination Is Also Post poned as a Member of the Federal Reserve Board.

Washington, D. C.. July 9.-The ad- ministration met defeat today in the
 first stage of it's fight to have the senate confirm the nominations of Thomas D. Jones, Chicago, and Paul
 M. Warburg, New York, as members of the federal reserve board. The banking and currency committee voted to to report unfayorably the nomination of Mir. Jones and post poned indefinitely further considera- ton of the nomination of Mir. War burg
 The Jones report will be submitted early next week and debate over his
 confirmation will be resumed on the | floor of the senate in executive ses- sions. The committee will take no
 further action on the Warburg ap- pointment unless the New York
 banker decides to accept the commit tees invitation to submit to question ing. The next move, according to
 committee members, must come from MT Warburg.
 The committees action was taken
 in the face of the presidents deter
 mined effort to have the appoint ments approved. In his conference
 with newspaper men today the presi-
 dent made it clear he would keep up
 the fight.
 Senator Lewis of Illinois is con
 ducting the fight for Jones confirma- l ton. It was understood he counts on
 a majority of two to put the nomina-
 tion through, but a half dozen sena- | tors might delay confirmation for
 many weeks if not defeat it entirely.
 A real campaign to put the Jones nomination through might cause the senate to abandon it's work on anti l trust legislation.
 Opposition to Jones was based on
 the fact that he is a director of the | International Harvester Company,
 now being sued under the Sherman
 antitrust act. Senators Lee of | Maryland, Hollis, Pomerene and
 Shafroth, all democrats voted for ia I
 vorable report on this nomination, | while Senators Hitchcock and Reed | democrats, and Bristow, Nelson, Mo
 Lean, Crawford and Weeks, republi
 cans, voted for an unfavorable re-
 port. There was little criticism of l MT. Jones other than that he was a
 director of the Harvester Company. | Objection to Mir. Warburg so far is based on the fact that he has refused | the committees request to appear and submit to questions about his business connections. Committee members hold that unless the senate
 has an opportunity to gain necessary information about nominees it hardly can be expected to make confirma- tions.
 The first test of strength on the Warburg nomination may come Mon day, when a resolution will be report ed from the senate rules committee increasing the membership of the banking committee. This resolutions appearance may lead to debate which will disclose some of the feeling in the senate toward the nomination.

"The Price" at the Airdome Last
 Night Presented by the Geyer
 Stock Company.
 A real society drama was presented last night at the Airdome by the Geyer Stock Company. The play was The Price" a very beautiful play, full of life and many very pretty scenes.
 The Geyer Stock Company is an exceptional one, and is ably handled by Mir Frank R. Dare, who has been seen here at the Airdome in previous summers with several excellent com panies, having once presented here his own company. This company is fast getting into much favor, and each member is all right in his or her part The leading lady of the company is Miss Agnes Geyer, who handles her roles with rare ability. The leading business is taken care of by Mir l.. Harris, while the comedy is taken care of by B. Nj. Bumpas, who is an excellent comedian. Mir. O. l.. Prather is no doubt well remem- bered here, for he has appeared here several times with other attractions.
 The Geyer Company travels in it's own beautiful Pullman palace cars, one of which is a complete stateroom affair, and very beautifully equipped throughout, having every luxury, such as their own dining rooms, their own private staterooms, and a beautiful suite of parlors, including a splendid
