wants Overjoyed.

Paris, Dec. 26.-The household of
Sarah Barnhardt was jubilant this
evening over the remarkable improve.
ment shown in the condition Of the
famous actress. The deer gloom
which had settled down upon the
family and faithful followers of the
star was almost entirely dispelled by
the continued optimism of the doctors,
who have permitted Madame Bern
hardt to sit up in her room twice
during the last "a hours.
Madame Berrhardt had Christmas
dinner last night with the members
of her family and a few intimate
friends. She. ate a small piece of
turkey and talked cheerfully. and
hopefully of her return to the foot
lights.
She was beginning to believe, she
said. that she would be spared TO
act 10 years more. She confided to
several friends that she expected to
assume her role in the new Guitry
play. that was about to be produced
when she was stricken, within three
weeks.
The physicians smiled when Mad.
anne Bernhardt indulged in the
three weeks talk. merely saying, Per
haps.'' They frankly stated on the
other hand. that the divine Sarah's''
condition was very weak, her long
years of hardfwork on the boards hav.
ing told upon her. and that it was
quite possible it would be many
months before she was able to appear
in public. There are not lacking. in
deed. those who think Bernhard may
never act again.
The few old and faithful servants,
hardt around the world through for.
tune and adversely, = presented a
touching picture tonight. They were
overjoyed at the prospect of their
mistress return to health.
Just think, Madame Sarah sat up
again tonight" said the old butler
II will make bet that madame will
be back on the stage in a month -
and such an ovation as she will re-
ceive"'
Scores OF prominent people continu-
ed to call at the Bernhardt home to-
day to express their happiness over
her improved condition and there was
unrestrained rejoicing among the ac-
tors and actresses of Paris, many OF
whom went to her residence with
flowers and filled her room with
roses. Many cable messages arrived
from American friends and admirers
including actors and actresses on the
American stage. Madame Bernhardt
was especially pleased with the Amer

Chicago Graft
Gang Attacked
City Looted Of Millions, Muni-
cipal Voters League
Charge.

Chicago. Dec. 26.-The Municipal
Voters league in statement made
public today charged Mayor William
Hale Thompson and his supporters in
this city council with responsibility
OF alleged waste of city funds III
what is declared excessive payments
to five real estate and building ex-
perts employed by the city.
In 1920, the Municipal Voters
league charged, five Thompson real
estate experts got away with
$2,74e ,666 from the city treasury and
drew total of $3,2S7 ,634 in three
years, according to the city control
ler.''
'Chicagos city hall gang is be-
leved to have cost Chicago more than
the Tweed ring cost New York." tho
statement continued.
Commenting on the city codncils
responsibility. the statement said:
Nothing so dastardly and servile,
nothing so degrading in its tenden.
Acies, and SO deadly to the ideals of
aldermen, has occurred in the council
since the league was organized 81
years ago. 1t was the act of a
gutted, pliable, incompetent Thomp
son council.
The Pennsylvania and the New
York state capitol CRAFTS, the robbing
of San Francisco by Ruefs machine
and other gems of official brigandage
show no such clear, quick and neat
profits to subordinate individuals rs
our experts got.''
Suits have been filed in court
against Mayor Thompson, the city
controller and the five experts for re.
covery of part of the alleged wasted
money paid the latter.
In concluding, the statement asked
'why not clean out such a council
root and branch. saving only the
handful of honest men in it?"
