Appropriation of $85,000 Not Eliminated As Per Amendment.

NEW GRAFT WITNESS HAS BEEN SECURED

(National New Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 13. Despite vicious attacks by representatives of the public service corporations before the committee on cities and towns of the senate, alleging that the consolidated Shively-Spencer utilities commission measure would abridge contracts between the companies and the state; the caucus program was strictly adhered to. After all objections and arguments were patiently listened to the committee announced its intention of favorably reporting the bill Thursday after adding a clause making its name the "Shively-Spencer public utilities act." C. L. Henry, of the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Traction company, led the argument against the measure, insist4no that an aHriitinn ahnuld hn ma.de

Beasley, of Terre Haute, representing the Randall-Morgan interests, said the law would be unconstitutional because it would break the existing contracts between the state and the companies, and pointed out that .the street railway act of the state lves the company the right to sell their bonds in other states at the prices fixed by the laws of those states and in other ways gives the companies privileges regarding the issue of stocks and bonds. The Shively-Spencer bill as it will come out of the' committee will carry most of the Spencer provisions and 'will make the salary for the commissioners $6,000 as against $5,000 in the 'original Spencer measure.

ON NATIONAL GUARD. .NDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 13. Representative Keegan was not backward in letting It be known that he desired the National guard to be wiped out of existence, when he attempted to amend the general appropriation bill by eliminating the sum of $85,000 for the national guard's maintenance. Adjt. General McCoy and Quartermaster Garad were successful in heading off Regan's argument and only twenty-two members of the House voted for the amendment. Just a few minutes before 44 votes had been registered against a motion to lay the amendment on the table and that indicated that the national guard iras doomed, ' Keegan referred to the national guardsmen as "face powder soldiers. Representative Branaman defended the national guard system and declared that a certain class who were against "the ' whole military system of the country are usually regarded as "undesirable citizens." ' This brought Keegan to his feet on a point of personal privilege, but Branaman assured him no personal reflection was. intended in his remark. Representatives Duncan, EBchbach and Fleming opposed Keegan's amendment. ; Representatives Lyendecker turned a pretty somersault, by first supporting the amendment and later making a speech against it. He proved to be the real comedy man of the side show. The economy brigade suffered defeat during the general appropriations discussion and voting. Every amendment purported to cut the appropriations was lost with one exception. This was the cutting out of the position of assistant - superintendent af public buildings and grounds which carried $1200 per year. Representative Cravens was in the chair and sent the bin to engrossment after several hot fights had been ' safely referred without bloodshed. , A Stock Measure.

The Theaters

THE GENNETT. When John Philip Sousa licks his new production of an operatic character into shape, trims off the rough edges and changes its title from "The Glass Blowers," to "The American Maid," as he announced his intention of doing, he will have something that will make a popular appeal. It does that now, however. For last evening's audience at the Gennett, while not large for some incomprehensive reason, was one of the most appreciative and enthusiastic of the local season. John Philip Sousa understands the American temperament. And contents himself by giving it musical compositions of the status which fits in with that temperament's calibre. He understands its patriotic character. And its sentimentality. And plays to it. "The Glass Blowers," contains all the elements of popularity from this point of view. And this was attested last night in the reception given it here. "The Glass Blowers" is original in plot. Here is a composer and a librettist who have gone outside the conventional plots located in mythical European principalities or treating of types unfamiliar to the average American. While the labor conditions touched on are naturally burlesqued or at least made farcical, they nonetheless are known so well to the average theatre-goer that the comedy of it Is at once recognized and its anomalousness understood. The introduction of the moving pic-

ture Into the third act fits in so easily

with the action that, skillfully manag

ed and with the assistance of the or

chestra, the illusion of reality Is almost complete. The picture shows the action in the battle of the Spanish American war, to which the masculine principals are sent as officers, and which it would be impossible to other than suggest through the ordinary medium of theatric presentation. This is the first demonstration of the practicability of the union of the two forms of dramatic procedure and that it is successful, and adds much to stage realism, was seen last evening. The only specially notable principals were Miss Edna Blanche Showalter, as "Annabel," Miss Showalttr showing herself possessed of a voice of operatic calibre, and whose song "The Crystal

Lute," caused her to be repeatedly recalled; John Park as "Jack Bartlett," the young American millionaire, who pretend to go to work to please his sweetheart, and who has an excellent baritone of unusual range; and Miss Dorothy Maynard as "Geraldine," whose dancing was noticeable. The settings, costuming entire mise en scene were stunning. Elaborate in conception and arrangement they had the merit of freshness, since the company is just starting on its tour, the light effects in the last act, showing dawn over a Cuban landscape, elicting rounds of applause from the audience. ' The music was of that color and type which has endeared Sousa tn the American public as a composer.

i iie orcufBirauon is sh.hu uj, ue melody alluring and the effects made . through those accentuation of indivi- ;

dual instruments which no one understand better than Sousa. While the humour was a bit forced now and then, there were many clever lines, the choruses were well done and the dancing was effective. Both Sousa and the librettist, Mr. Liebling, were present which added interest to the affair. E. G. W.
