Will Total Two Billfin
 In addition to the total there were authorizations for expenditures in fu- ture years including naval, good roads tariff commission and other eXpendit- ures to bring the total to approximate ly two billion dollars but these a. mounts do not properly apply to the appropriations for the fiscal year.
 In addition Congress enacted an unusually large amount of miscellan- eous legislation, including reorgani- zation of the Patent Office; provision for trial of space system in place of weight system for payment of rail- road mail service and leaving to the interstate Commerce Commission de termination of the method and rate of pay; creation of a National Park Blu reau in the Department of the lnteri- or; establishing warehouse regula- tions for cotton and grains and pro viding a new grain grading law; eX- tension for a year of the government war risk insurance bureau; uniform law making bills of lading negotiable.
 Proposed legislation which failed Of enactment and has gone over until next winter includes the Immigration bill; the corrupt practices act to limit campaign expenditures for election of the President, vice president and members of congress; 9 vocational education bill passed by the Senate; conservation legislation including the public lands water power bill, the Shields navigable streams water pow er bill which failed in conference, the oil leasing bill including relief for California oil men; a flood control bill which passed the House; and bill to establish citizenship for natives of Porto Rico.
 Four treaties were ratified by the Senate The most important was the long pending Nicaraguan convention providing for the acquisition of canal route and naval station rights in the Bay of Fonseca for s3,000,000, and that ratified in the closing hours providing for the purchase of the Dan sh West Indies for $25,000.000.. An other was the treaty with the Repub lie of Hayti providing for an American financial protectorate. The much disputed pending treaty with Colom- bia after several years of considera- ion was favorably reported from the Foreign Relations Committee with an amendment reducing from S25.000,000 10 s15,000, ,000 the proposed amount to be paid for the partition of Panama. The treaty. however, was never taken ID in the Senate because of un relent- ing opposition to it on the part or many senators and it remains on the calendar. The committee at the time of adjournment still had under con sideration the proposed treaty with Denmark for the purchase of the Danish West Indies for $25,000,000 A treaty with Great Britain proyiding for protection of migratory birds on both sides of the Canadian border was ratified. Death claimed four members of the congress during the session. Senators Shiveley of Ind, and Burleigh of Me, and Representatives Brown and Moss. both of West Nir- ginia. Representative Witherspoon of Mississippi, died just before the session began.

IN the case Of The ElOpers, at
least, there would appear to be a great
deal for nearly everybody who has
come into intimate connection with
this production has been either mar
ried or engaged. It was while with
this show that George Stoddard, who
wrote the book not only Of The Flop
ers," but of THE Royal Chef" The
Isle of Spice" and many other sue
cesses. became engaged to and later
married, one of the girls playing d
minor part. Nor was Mr.. Stoddard the
only one to hear the call of Cupid
through The Elopers." The general
manager Of the show married one OF
the ladies of the chorus and the man
who originally made the Chicago pro-
ductiOn was wed on the eve OF the
original Chicago opening. A little later
on Oliver Bingham, the stage manager,
became engaged, and so it has been
going on ever since-marriage engage
ment, engagement, marriage. The
ElOpers" comes to the Illinois theatre
next Sunday, matinee and night.
