CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Authoritative
announcement that legislation for All

The Worlds Richest Man
From Tit-Bits.


 The distinction undoubtedly belongs to the Czar of Russia, of whom it has been said that he has so much money that nobody can count it. And it is fact that the wealth that is his as controller Of the Russian church, and as ruler of all the Russias including that of the members of his extremely wealthy family, would certainly be too great to count, including as it does all the wealth of Russia, which is estimated at, ae7, ,O00, 900 600.
 The Czar's personal wealth. according to one statistical genius. works out. at G110OO0 day, and should Russia get down to it's last cent-or rather kopek- in the royal eXchequer, Nicholas, single handed, could keep the entire Russian army in the field for several weeks.
 Most of the Czar's wealth is derived from landed possessions, of which he has nearly 10,000,0O00 acres, three-uuar- ters of which is rich timber and yielding big rentals The other quarter is mining land. Siberia S mines are owned by the Czar while his jewelry and art works are of fabulous worth. The Czars state income is about e, ,0OO, ,000, out of which, however, he has to provide for the ex- penses of his household, which includes the. upkeep. of more than a hundred palaces, to say nothing of the Russian court, with it's S0,O0O servants, 23O auto- mobiles, 5G00 thoroughbred horses, and an army Of several thousand soldiers and detectives.

 Manager SemOn

This week promises to be a banner week at the Lyric, as two big feature acts have been booked for the entire weeks stay This is the first time that two acts have played all week, and it is believed by the management that the two big numbers for the week will prove altogether pleasing and en- tertaining.
 Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman, those we'll and favorably known enter tainers, will present "fhe Society Buds" a pretentious musical number. This act will be the big headline act for the entire week. As co-entertainer for all week with this big number there will be Al Herman. "The Chester field of Minstrelsy."
 In addition to these feature acts there will be six other acts on the bills for the week.

FRITZ KREISLER
 AT THE JEFFERSON

Fritz Kreisler at the Jefferson on Wednesday night.
 This should be remembered by music lovers and students of the violin.
 A certain writer speaking of Fritz Kreisler and his concerts wrote:
 "Kreisler is such many-sided man; besides his music he is a painter, he is a great composer as well as technician; he is an author, too. His book, Four Weeks in the Trenches Is very well written. In Boston recently it is re- corded that the Symphony hall there was crowded to overflowing when Kreisler appeared. In Carnegie hall, New York, the building was packed to overflowing. At the Metropolitan opera Sunday con cert, when he appeared, there was not a seat to be had. In Los Angeles. Denver, Salt Lake City, Houston and New Or leans, capacity houses have been the rule. do sincerely hope that Birming- ham will show herself equally as appre- ciative as her sister cities"
 "One other thing should like to men tion, and that is the. programme for MT. Kreisler's concert. It is distinctly not a high brow programme. This was done Intentionally. because so many people ob- ject to to classical music. The pro- gramme comprises the most beautiful se- lections and is one that will appeal to all music lovers.
 T regard the appearance of Kreisler here $ one of the most momentous in musical history. He is pre-eminent in his art. Many will ask. What is the charm
