REVOLUTION OF G. 0. P. IN HOUSE ABOUT TO BREAK Steering Committee Tactics Force Members to Defend Selves. SOME DEVELOPMENTS WASHINGTON. .Tan. 28.—For months raemoers of the house of representatives have awaited the revolution which threatens .1 to overturn the rpubiican steering e n imlttee. Just now, more than ever before, the revolution seems imminent for many reasons, the chief of which is that republican members find themselves unable to obtain for their constituencies any of the legislation promised in their pre-election campaigns. The recent developments which stand out so plainly as marking th£ flood-tide of the revolutionary movement, are these: Republicans in general, and especially several republican members of the house to give consideration to soldier reward legislation. For the third time now the steering committee has ordered that no member shall discuss such legislation on the floor, and has advised that the question be put off indefinitely by the appointment of a general and special committee to consider all proposals In the house. NAVY BILLS ALSO SUFFER. Republican leaders on naval affairs promised that inducements would be offered men to remain in the navy, and thus the “floating death trap.” of which Maj. Gen. Wood spoke, and which he described as a navy without men,'would oe avoided. The republican members of the naval affairs committee considered the question for months and then reported a bill increasing the pay of men. Within a few hours and with only slight consideration, the naval affairs committee was ordered to withdraw the bill and provide only fpr salary increases for enlisted men and warrant officers. They were quietly advised the senate would reinstate provisions for Increasing 6al- , ariea of commissioned officers, and that then the house could approve these provisions. In the meantime a record for "economy” in the bouse would be made. Republican members of the rivers and harbors committee considered the annual appropriation bill for four months and. i then prepared to report a bill calling for appropriations of upward of $20,000,000. The members knew to appropriate less would result in loss of all that has been accomplished in river and harbor improvements, and this just at the time the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Brack Warrior rivers and the many harbors were being used for navigation. Not a member of the steering committee heard this evidence, and yet in twelve hours lire committee members were advised to retire with their proposals and that not more than $12,400,000 should be appropriated. i Members of the ways and means committee entered upon a hearing relative to a loan of .$150,000,000 to prevent thousands of deaths occurring daily in Austria, Poland and Armenia. Republican committeemen were opposed to the loan, Out when the mass of evidence was put iiefore them they realized they never could tell American mothers and fathers they would not appropriate money, and they met to approve this appropriation. In ten hours the steering committee, without information, ordered that hill bo not approved. Republicans on the foreign affairs committee were advised to hold hearings on the Mason resolution, which would have provided money for a minister to the republic of Ireland, and thus would have recognized Ireland as an independent republic. These men, including Chairman Porter, have been asked by their Irish friends to abide by their promise to get the resolution on the floor. The republican steering committee refused to permit the resolution to be reported and Mr. Porter is forced to dodge continuously. Republican members of the judiciary -ommittee, with great enthusiasm drafted a sedition bill, as it seemed the legislat.ou would be popular. When it was een how drastic the legislation was the public mind became inflamed against it and the steering committee ordered the resolution and the bill buried, and the members of the judiciary committee who publicly advocated the legislation were left high and dry. AND ONLY THE HIGH LIGHTB! To recount all the legislation proposed by members and legislation in strict accordance with republican pre-election promises which have been buried because the steering committee will not permit it to be reported, would take columns, but these are the high lights. No member can now propose the most simple piece of legislation unless first he has appeared before the steering committee and received permission to represent the people who elected him. The revolution is imminent. All that is required now is a caucus, and members who proposed soldier legislation and who are insisting on abiding by election promises propose now to have that caucus called. The steering committee is threatening every member who suggests n caucus and believes it has the revolution conquered. What the next few weeks will hold In store is a matter of great interest in the house, and of considerable interest to tbe people who believe they have representatives in congress other than the steering committee. The conditions explain to some extent why only a dozen or so members of the more than 400 In the body appear on the floor with any regularity. Ask any of ,tbe members the reason for his absence and he will reply by asking, “What is the use?’’ The members of the steering committee are Representative Winslow of Massa- ! ehusetts. Representative Dunn of New York, Representative Longworth of Ohio, Representative Madden of Illinois, Representative Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, republican floor leader, is the guiding hand, as he is an ex-officio mem- i ber, and Speaker Gillette, also an ex- | officio member, sits in occasionally.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—Nobody—not even | a grownup—ever had a more strenuous two days of it tbau t Billy Helms in the first forty-eight hours in this world. Being born—that was his first adventure. Then he was adopted before his eyes were open and returned a prodigal to his mother’s arms before two days were up. Katherine Heims, Billy's mother, IS. is one of thirteen children who live at 2748 Warren avenue. She was barely in her teens when she married and when she whispered to her husband the news of the expected arrival of Billy, he disappeared. Katherine was left helpless. She feared

TRAGEDY BARES LOVE TRIANGLE Loyal Wife Wins When Affinity Is Shot Mysteriously. LOUISVILLE. Jan. 28.—The details or Louisville's most unusual love triangle have just come to light. The outstanding figure in the case is Mrs. Virgil Duvall, the wronged wife, a mild, pleasant-faced little woman who tearfully admits that she has known of her husband’s infatuation for Mrs. Eleanor Schaffner for nlup years, and tha. during that period she had borne her faithless husband three children, that her home might be kept intact and for the sake of three children born before. And now again, with the stork knocking at the door of the modest little home of the Duvalls, the wife is willing to forgive—if she can not forget—the scandal in which her husband is involved. If possible, she says, she wants her husband “to do the right thing by his family—for the children's sake, so that all seven of them will not have to fact, at their tender age, misery and want and degradation.” On the night of Jan. 20 Mrs. Schaffner staggered through the door of her home in Lawton Heights, bleeding and exhausted. She said a negro highwayman had shot her. At the hospital it was found that three bullets had pierced her abdomen. Then the police learned of the woman's Infatuation for Virgil Duvall, whose home was nearby. It was a most unusual love affair, the neighbors said, since Duvall was only about 35 and Mrs. Schaffner giving her age as 48. The police now say she Is at least 54. The officers hunted Duvall up. He admitted to having been with Mrs. Schaaffner the night of the shooting, but at first denied all knowledge of the tragedy. Later, it was shown, that the day after the shooting Duvall visited Mrsr. Schaffner at the hospital, accompanied by his wife, and had been there three times more before he was arrested. Duvall finally corroborated the woman’s story of the negro highwayman’s attack and claimed that Mrs. Schaffner was shot by tbe negro when he engaged him in a duel, at the entrance to a lumber yard where he and Mrs. Schaffner were seated.

the little baby was coming into a hard, bitter world, fatherless and helpless. She decided she wanted to provide a home for the baby—a better home than she could give him. So she advertised before the baby was born for a happy married couple to adopt the baby. She found foster parents for tbe baby —the Bollinger family at 1961 Warren avenue. Then last Monday baby Billy was born. The mother bold the baby in her arms just a moment, kissed him and sank into unconsciousness.

ROADS MUST BE SOLIDLY BUILT , Will Not Stand Traffic Unless Base Is Good, Says Expert. Special to Tlie Times. LAFAYETTE, nld., Jan. 28.—“ Practically no type of road surface lias vet been devised (lint will hold up for any length of time under heavy traffic, unI less the drainage and foundations are i properly cared for," said Prof. G. E. i Martin of Purdue university, speaking j today before the sixth annual road school, in session here. “French roads were in excellent shape until American traffic reached them, and it was possible to maintain them In fairly good shape under our heavy traffic, but it was an expensive operation. Several es their main roads failed utterly because of poor foundations anrr poor drainage.” Prof. Martin was a commissioned officer ;n the engineering corps In France. “Tlie main lesson learned from our war experience secerns to tne to be that proper eare must be exercised In the selection of our road surfaces and in do. sign and construction of our drainage, and foundation structures. When this has been done it still is necessary to provide for adequate maintenance of the road after it has been built. Tbe day's program was occupied largely with talks by various speakers, showing the value of the grave], brick, concrete, macadam and other kinds of roads. Nearly 200 county surveyors, highway superintendents and contractors are attending the school.

She says: “I am convinced that many cosmetic*, by overloading the skin and pores, tend to age the complexion. Mercollzed wax has just the opposite effect It keeps the pores clean, permitting them to breathe, and removes dead particles of cuticle which are constantly appearing and which give the complexion that aged look. Whenever my skin begins to get the least bit off-color, muddy or faded, I go to my druggist's for an ounce of mereolized wax: I apply this nightly, like cold cream, for a week or so, washing it off mornings. This is what keeps my complexion so fresh, white and velvety. “The absence of wrinkles and flabbiness I owe to the use of a simple face bath prepared by dissolving one ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel.
