WASHINGTON, Dec. IA nation
wide poll of the members of the Amer

Gill the members would choose under
the optional feature of the DILL prob
ably will result from demand of the
senate finance committee for an esti-
mate OF the immediate financial obliga-

Sentiment of the committee for such
q poll was expressed at a hearing to-
day at which the legislative commit
tee OF the Legion appeared to urge
immediate action on the bonus bill by

ordered the hearing on the theory
that IN working out a plan for tax

Extent Of the Obligation.
1t was pointed out to the Legion

immediate obligation to the United

of $1,500,000,000. The government is
in no position to pay this sum or any

Thereupon Senators Mclean, OF

MONOGRAM
THEATRE?

The Monogram Theatre, known as
the House OF Filth" is still living up
to its record The management has
made no move to improve the sani-
tary conditions either by proper ven
tiation or by disinfcction. 1t is diff
hcult to understand why the depart
mcnt OF health does not order this
place closed. The city authorities
should not permit the health OF thou
sands OF people to be jeopardized for
commercial purposes. The Monogram
is no, only known as the flthiest
public amusement place on the street,
but it holds the reputation Of permit
ting the vilest use OF language possible
in its manner OF entertainment
1t is alleged that as a result OF the
unsanitary conditions of this rat
trap" that a number OF women and
children have contracted disease
These conditions have been brought
to the attention OF the authorities and
will be continually pressed until they
are remedied. The ordinances required
by the city health department for
places OF amusement have not been
complied with, it IS alleged. The
WHIP will continue its crusade until
this alleged theatre is made properly
habitable for its patrons.
Another feature OF the Monogram
which has caused it TO stand out As a
house of filth has been the character
OF the acts and their use OF language.
at times obscene in its expressions
This has made il an eyesore to decent
and respectable people and has oc-
casioned much unsavory comment. 1t
is no place for young girls and boys
to visit whose moral persuasion is
likely to be influenced by the charac-
ter OF shows they see and the vile
jokes that are permitted on the stage
The idea uppermost in the minds Of
the managers is to garner their un-
holy gold at the expense oil the NOR
ality OF the community. In their ex-
acting of the pound OF flesh he
shows no regard for ..cr the com
fort or the n'~-. nealth OF his audi
