 The official standing of the incom- ing house is as follows: Republicans, 215; democrats, 214; prohibitionist, l.; progressive, l; progressive-protec- tionist, 1; socialist, 1; independent, l; vacant, 1.
 The vacancy exists in the Fifteenth New York district, which is overwhelm- ingIy democratic. It has been generally believed Governor Whitman would call an election before next Friday, which would make virtually certain a tie at 2l5 be- tween the democratic and republican membership on the opening day of the session.
 REPUBLICAN MEMBERS ILL
 Republican leaders are worried over the illness of three of their members and the statement of fourth that he does not favor Representative Mann for speaker. Representatives Hill of Connecticut, Hol- loway of New Hampshire and Graham of Pennsylvania are i'll. Representative Heintz of Cincinnati recently stated in a letter that he did not favor" MT. Mann.
 All of the newly elected democratic and republican membership probably will be summoned here for caucuses week or 10 days before Congress is recon vened Several former progressives now enrolled as republicans, it is understood, will decline to be bound by caucus rules.

ADJUSTMENTS
Booth Tarkington as a Dramatist


 Because of his outstanding success and great popularity as novelist the work of Booth Tarkington as a dramatist is com paratively unknown. However, MT. Tark- ington has achieved the distinction of having his latest play published in Harp CTS Magazine, the publishers of that con- servative periodical believing that ''Mis- ter Antonio is worthy from the stand point of good literature.
 Tarkington first gained fame as a play wright with the highly successful The Man From Home.' which he wrote in collaboration with Harry Leon Wilson. This was in 1906, and the following year he wrote Cameo Kirby for Nat Good win. Your Humble Servant which was written in 1908 for Otis Skinner. and the same year he completed "Springtime." |" His activities as dramatist then lapsed for several years, only to be revived with Mister Antonio" which Otis Skinner fs presenting with marked success. and which will be seen at the Jefferson the atre for one performance on Wednesday evening, March 14.
 While he did not write Monsieur Beaucaire' in dramatic form himself, the stage version was practically a free adaptation of Tarkington's charming TO- nance.
