'SOLONS SOON TOACT
ON PRIMARIES PROBE
Resolution Aimed at Roger SuIIi-
van and Senator Penrose
Comes Up Friday.

Tho Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections win meet next Friday to
decide what to do with the Norris
resolution for an investigation into Sem
atorial campaign funds In the Illinois
and Pennsylvania primaries.
The resolution Is aimed at Roger c.
Sullivan. in Illinois. and at Senator PEN
rose, In Pennsylvania.
Because Of statements made to the
committee by Congressman A Mitchell
Palmer. who Is the Democratic oppo-
nent of Senator Penrose. the committee
Is more disposed to report in favor Of
an inquiry than 1t was.
Some days ago the indications were
there would be no investigation. But
the committee Is disposed to report the
resolution favorably. Mr.. Palmer sub
mitted letters and documents tending
to show large expenditures In behalf OF
Senator Penrose's candidacy by '.2ro-
tected interests and liquor interests in
Pennsylvania, in the primaries He
gave names Of witnesses whom he
wanted summoned
Whether the investigation win precede
the election or wait until next winter Is
uncertain. The disposition all along has
been to wait until after election, and 1t
is generally believed the Senate will
take the view that It will be fairer TO
ali concerned to wait.

adequate support for the quaintest and
most finished bit of character acting

Mr.. James gives 1t that definite, indi-
vidual touch which really makes it a
star part.
Mr.. Brickert is seen to good advan-

account of herself as Ulrica. In the
part Of Sir Isaac Mr.. Dobbins has what

an ability to repress that adds natural
ness to the role.

part in the character of Lady Cots

performance in the part of the worldly
wife Of Sir Isaac, and Mr.. Fillmore is
excellent as Adrian. Mr.. Meakin, Mr.
Andrews. and Mr.. Bowser fill out the
smaller parts acceptably.

Attempt to Rush Cotton
Warehouse Bill Fails

Congressman Lever OF South Carolina
made an attempt late yesterday to have
the House suspend the rules and pass
his bill for the establishment of a system
Of Federal inspection and supervision of
cotton and grain warehouses. The
necessary two-thirds vote to suspend
the rules was lacking. and the bill re-
mains on the regular calendar
The brief debate on the Lever bill
which came in the midst of Mr.. Henry's
hlibuster to obtain legislation to help
the cotton growers market their crop.
indicated that Southern members are
divided In their opinions as to what
the farmer needs. Mr.. Henry criticised
the Lever bill as a makeshift, and
voted against it. while Mr.. Lever con-
tended that Mr.. Henry. II a friend of
the farmer. should support the bill.
1t Is probable that Mr.. Henry will
renew his filibuster today. He Is seek
ing to force action on his plan for Fed
eral loans on the South's cotton crop.

J.. s. AWAITS DATA ON
SUBMARINE VALUE
Sinking of Three British Cruis-
ers May Influence Naval
Building Plans.

Naval experts in Washington are
eager to know more about the possi-
bilities of the submarine. Since the
blowing UP of three British cruisers in
the North Sea by one of the German
submarines, navy men who have been
swearing by the dreadnought are will
ing to admit they may have been mis-
taken.
In some naval circles the opinion Is
held that the blowing up the British
cruisers was a rare piece Of luck for
the Kaisers navy, and that 1t will
take more than one successful exploit
to prove that the submarine has to a
large extent nullified the usefulness of
the big battieship Of the dreadnought
type.
In others, 1t is argued that the Sub
marine has so far proved it's usefulness
that the dreadnought will have to be
dropped out. of consideration by the
great navies for purposes of first-line
blockade, or for any work that takes 1t
into the vicinity of the enemy's harbors
or fortified coasts which may afford a
refuge from which submarines may
operate.
Question Dreadnoughts' value.
According to this view. the dread
nought fleet which the United States
has built up would be of use only
about home ports. in friendly harbors.
or out on the high seas far enough
from land so that the submarine
would be unable to reach it.
Many efforts have been made by ex-
perts to devise nets or some kind of
protection for battleships against
torpedoes and submarines. These ef-
forts have failed because 1t has been
found any such protection impedes
the progress of the ship seriously.
The speed of the dreadnoughts is
slow as compared with some of the
fastest modern battle cruisers. The
swift cruisers are difficult of success
full attack by submarines because of
the cruisers speed. For this reason.
there is a large body Of expert naval
opinion that leans to the idea that,
with the development of the subma-
rine, the swift cruiser, not heavily ar
mored, but manned with powerful
big guns and possessing great speed.
Is the vessel to be built.
May Influence Congress.
Although the exploit of the German
submarine which sank the three British
cruisers is known in a general way, no
details Of what really occurred, beyond
the sinking of the British cruisers have
been officially made known. These de-
tails doubtless will not be known until
the end of the war. This will tend to
keep the naval experts in the dark as
to just what did occur. The submarine,
nevertheless, will have some vigorous
who will not wait on the official war
reports but, in the meantime. will ad-
vocate liberal appropriations for sub
marine construction.

MISS MADELINE JACOBS GIVES A LAWN PARTY

The lawn party and dance given last night by Miss Madeline Jacobs at her parents home on Beech street as one of ths notable affairs of a day given. as are most of the summertime, to the young people of school and college age. The Solon Jacobs residence is always a charming place for entertaining, and last night varied diversions were arranged for the young people who accepted the invi- ts tion of the lovely young daughter of the household.
 The lawn was glowing with lanterns wbich bobbed from the caves of the low roofed veranda, the trees and the sum nier house. These always give an aspect of g6yety and most of the guests spent the greater portion of the evening stroll ling about. sitting in little groups in the comfortable chairs and divans arranged for them or gathered in merry throng around one of the fortune -tellers who had been secured for their entertainment. In the glittering draperies of the East h. dian. and the coquettish kimono of the Japanese they found two mysterious expo ncnts of the occult. and the fortunes read by the Hindu, as well those divulged by the Hindu, foretold happy years and of novel incidents on the lives of those who sought their advice.
 The house, which has an excellent ar rnngement for dancing, was cleared for this purpose, and there were many who preferred to pass the evening in this fashion. Sandwiches, punch and ices were served during the hours of the party, which was one of the most pleasant of the summer and presided over by one of the most winsome of the youthful hos tesses. Her parents, MT. and Mrs. Solon Jacobs, with MT. and Mrs. w. D. Nesbitt. MT. and Mrs. Harry Jones, Mir. and Mrs. John Turner and Mir. and Mrs. Merrill Northington. assisted in entertaining the guests.

Lo and behold! That old skin had all peeled off! The healthy young skin underneath gave me a com plexion as pure, white and soft as a young girls.

Twins Need a Cab

T wonder if through the Corner you could secure a twin baby cab for delicate young mother with twin baby girls 1 year of age? The mother and young sister of 20 are struggling to make a living for themselves and the little twins, and one has to stay at home and care for them. If they had carriage to put them in it would mean less work most of the time. The matron of working girls home here vouches for the young woman and would be glad if there should be response to this worthy appeal.
 MRS. LILLIAN F."
 Are there more twins born In the twentieth century than ever before? have been told that this is true, and the suggestion is made that Mother Ma ture is trying to compensate to the race for the many childless homes into which babies are forbidden to come. However that may be, I can but note that the double blessing often falls into homes where there is insufficient pro- vision for it. We have here a notable illustration of this lamentable fact. The mother and the girl aunt do not mur- mur that there are two little ones to be
