(Omaha Bee Correspondent.!
Washin?ton, ' Sept 21. (Special
Telegram.) Republican leaders in
the house who have been discussing
the probabilities of adjournment
have about reached the conclusion
that congress will not be able to get
away for a short vacation before the
regular session of the Sixty-sixth
congress begins, on the first Monday
in December, much before Novem
ber 1, and the present extraordinary
session may run until November 10.
There is much yet to be done if
the republicans insist upon carrying
to a successful conclusion the am
bitious program they mapped out
for the party at their first conference
and wfiich has been amplified at suc
ceeding conferences.
Floor Leader Mondell in review
ing what the republicans have al
ready put across in the way of leg
islation and what they expect to ac
complish before adjournment of the
present session said today to The
Bee representative:
"At the beginning of the present
special session of congress a con
ference of the republican members
of the house of representatives de
clared it to be the purpose of the
republican majority to proceed at
once to the "orderly, thorough and
careful consideration of a construc
tive program of legislation," and
this seems an opportune time to
call attention to the progress thus
far made in the carrying out of the
definite promise made at that time,
as the first, steps in that con
structive program. Wc hope that
the entire program thus far out
lined and suggested may be well
under way toward final completion
before the close of the present ex
tra session.
Demand Army Sale.
"In an effort to reduce the high
cost of living the house demanded
and compelled the sale of surplus
army supplies, including not only
foodstuffs but articles of wearing
apparel, thus not only aiding in low
ering living costs but ultimately
bringing several hundred million
dollars into the federal treasury.
The house and senate passed bills
strengthening the food control act,
extending its possessions and in
creasing penalties for hoarding and
profiteering. The house has just
appropriated large sums to aid the
Department of Justice and other de
partments of the government in the
enforcement of the laws against
profiteering and in the prosecution
of activities intended to leduce the
high cost of living. The house will,
within a few days, consider a bill
aimed to aid in reducing living costs
through the regulation of the cold
storage of foodstuffs.
"We promised prompt considera
tion of the appropriation bills which
failed of passage in the closing days
of the Sixty-fifth congress. These
bills, reven in number, the consider
ation of which ordinarily requires
trom three to four months, were
practically disposed of by two houses
of congress by the beginning of
the fiscal year, July 1, and as they i
became ' laws affected a saving of
over $900,000,000 as compared with
the same bills, as last considered in
the closing days of the Sixty-fifth
congress, and of over $1,685,000,000
as compared with the estimates of
the departments on which these bills
were based. Notwithstanding this
great reduction in appropriations it
is believed that every governmental
activity affected was adequately pro
vided for.
Return Wire Lines.
"The republican conference prom
ised the early return of the tele
phone, telegraph and cable lines to
their owners. They were returned
by act approved July 11.
"Early consideration of the reso
lution proposing an amendment to
the constitution , extending the
right of suffrage! to women was
promised. The resolution was ap
proved, within 15 days of the con
vening of the session and is now
before the states for ratification.
"Consideration of water power
legislation was promised. The house
passed the water power bill prompt
ly and it is now before the senate
for consideration.
"The conference included in its
program consideration of legisla
tion providing for the leasing of
public coal and oil lands. The senate
has passed legislation of this' char
acter and it is now before the house
committee on public lands and will
be considered in the house ' at an
early date.
Repeal Tax Law.
"Early consideration of tariff leg
islation was promised with a view
to reduction of domestic taxation,
and of providing adequate protec
tion to American labor and indus
tries. The house has passed a bill
repealing the obnoxous taxes on
soft drinks, soda water and ice
cream, and bills providing for the
, protection necessary under present
conditions Ivi metals, wjiich uur
pxnrriptire in the war Droved vital.
! such as tungsten, lead, and zinc
ores, as well as a bill protecting the
important pearl button industry of
the country from oriental competi
tion. Bills are on the calendar pro
posing legislation necessary to
maintain the coal-tar dye and other
vital industries built up during the
war, the protection of which is nec
essary to the public welfare. Fur
ther legislation for the reduction of
taxes and the protection of Amer
ican industries and labor "are under
consideration, i
"The conference promised meas
ures to conserve the welfare of our
returning soldiers. The congress
promptly produced more liberal
provisions for the vocational train
ing and rehabilitation of wounded
soldiers and made liberal appropri
ations for the same. The house re
cently passed a compromise bill
amending the war risk act, and lib
eralizing its provisions with regard
to soldiers, insurance and compen
sation for wounds and injuries.
Will Remedy Railway Problems.
"Early consideration of railway
and transportation problems was
promised. Committees of both the
house and senate have long been
continuously considering these ques
tions and the house committee in
charge of the matter will report its
recommendations to the house at
the very earliest possible moment
consistent with a thorough con
sideration of the tremendously im
portant questions involved.
"The consideration of a military
policy and measures necessary for
the earliest possible return of our
soldiers, was a part of the program.
The sharp reductions made in the
appropriations for the military es
tablishment compels the speediest
possible return of our soldiers, con
sistent with our national obliga
tions. The military committees of
the house and senate are consider
ing the manjr"problems of a perma
nent military policy and the house
committee will report and the house
will consider questions of this char
acter at the earliest date consistent
with careful and thorough Con
sideration of the problems involved.
Consider Budget Plan.
"The consideration of a compre
hensive merchant marine policy was
a part of the program. The com
mittees of the house and senate hav
ing these matters in charge have
been giving diligent attention and
consideration to the various phases
and features of this great problem,
and will continue their labors with
a view of final action at the earliest
possible date.
"Budget legislation is a promi
nent part of the proposed program.
Budget committees have been pro
vided and the interstate and im
portant questions involved in legis
lation of this character are being
carefully considered and will, in due
course, be placed before congress
for its consideration.
Fulfill Obligations.
"In the line of forward looking
and constructive legislation there
have been reported and are now on
the calendar of the house, bills pro
viding for the retirement of civil
service employes of the government,
and for federal cooperation with the
states in the vocational training and
rehabilitation of those injured in all
lines of industry, including agricul
tural pursuits. These measures are
scheduled for consideration as soon
as they can be reached in the de
velopement of the legislative pro
gram. "This brief outline of some of the
work accomplished and under way
necessarily omits mention of much
legislative activity and action of im
portance, but is sufficient, in my
opinion, to make it very evident that
the house is proceeding diligently
in the consideration or a construc
tive problem and has given a most
satisfactory earnest of the aim and
purpose Announced . by the repub
lican conference of legislating with
a view of aiding, restoring and sus
taining normal and prosperous con
ditions in trade and industry, and
among all our people.

THE program offered at the Sun
and the Muse theraters is a
mighty well planned and bal
anced bill, and its big feature, Doug
las Fairbanks' latest production
"His Majesty, the American," will
gladden thousands of hearts before
many days go by. The picture has
been splendidly put on, and the
cast supporting Fairbanks is excep
tional. Margery Daw, who has been
seen before in numerous of Doug's
pictures, is with him again, and
Frank Campeau, Lillian Langdon,
E. H. Sothern's talented brother,
Sam, Albert McQuarrie, Jay Dwig
gins, "Bull" Montana, Will Gillis,
Phil Gastrox and many others help
Fairbanks in fine shape. The di
rection of the picture is credited
to Joseph Henaberry. It will be
a long long time before you will
forget what Doug, has done in "His
Majesty, the American."
Mary Pickford in "The Hoodlum"
is on the screen at the Rialto. The
latest she offers us is from her own
studio. She is first seen as a pamp
ered child of the rich. Her father,
a novelist, goes to the slums for
atmosphere, and instead of going
to Europe with her grand-dad she
prefers to go with her father. In the
slums she is very digusted, but later
we see her quite at home shooting
craps, and acting like the gutter chil
dren. She falls in love with a boy
living down in the poor district,
who has been in jail, and together
they go and try to rob the safe of
her Fifth Avenue home. The pic
ture is well directed. The star still
holds her place at the head of the
silver sheet artists.
Contrast of character and situa
tion, of locals and of types, is ex

are the two extremes of human so

other the down-trodden, suspected,
disheartened creatures of the slums,
haunted by the police yet continuing
to amble through life because they,
too, are human beings with a right

AT THE
THEATERS
IT IS refreshing to witness such a
bright little musical comedy as
"The Reckless Eve," offered as
headlincr at the Orpheum this week.
A bevy of attractive young women,
wearing a series of bewitching cos
tumes, is one of the striking features
of the act. The scene is in a New
York hotel and the time is New
Year's eve. Cecil Summers, as the
engineer of the hotel, makes the
most of the situation by throwing a
pal on the good cheer of the occa
sion. His appearance every few
minutes with the announcement that
the boiler is in danger of blowing up,
lends much merriment to the action.
His characterization is clever. Esther
Jarrett is a pleasing bit of feminin
ity as the heiress. The other princi
pals are George W. Stanley, Frank
Murphy, Al Gertiser, Jack West,
Elva Eddy, Dominick Buckley and
George Brown. There are seven
musical hits and the two scenes are
pretentious.
Hal Davis, a stock company fa
yorite in Omaha in years agone,
is here with Dixie Nelson in a
humorous skit, "The Unexpected,"
by Edmund Day. It is a story of
a man lyho won $50,000 on a horse
race because his fiance substituted
the name of her favorite horse for
the one on which he had placed his
money. There are amusing lines
and a thrilling finish in the act. Ed.
Alexander is rapid-fire painter of
scenes in oils. "Topics of the Day"
and Kinograms are offered as screen
features of the program.
Some kind friend should whisper
a few words of advice to Bob Mur
phy and Elmore White, suggest
ing that their "Peppy Arrangement
of Tunes and Steps," could be mate
rially improved by the elimination
of some questionable lines. They
appear to have talent for better
things.
Edwin George, in his "Comedy
of Errors," being a combination of

The vaudeville at the Empress
theater is very well chosen. One of
the most entertaining acts is "On the
Mississippi," full of harmony and
melodies of the south and beautifully
rendered. An act that- called for
loud applause was George and Lily
Garden, masters of the xylophone.
"Vim, Beauty and Health" give a
sensational performance. They show
what real training can do and the
audience showed their appreciation.
Morgan Davis and Lulu McCoy are
fun makers and give their little skit,

shows how people will suffer for the

a very convincing performance.
There's good reason why this
week's musical show at the Gayety

"victory" means to win and there
is no doubt about this organization
winning. A more satisfactory book

WILSON STARTS
ON LAST LEG OF
SPEAKING TOUR
Leaves Los Angeles and Will
Address Reno People
Tonight.
Los Angeles-, Cal., Sept. 21. Re
freshed by a Sunday rest in Los
Angeles, President Wilson will be
gin tomorrow another strenous week
of speech-making that will almost
complete his country-wide tour for
the peace treaty.
Leaving here tonight the presi
dent's special train is due late to
morrow afternoon at Reno, Nev.,
where he will speak tomorrow night.
His schedule for the week will take
him as far eajt as Memphis, Tenn.,
with stops at nine cities on the way.
Most of today, the president and
Mrs. Wilson spent quietly, leaving
their hotel only to attend services
during the morning at St. Pauls
Episcopal cathedral. A report that
they would take an afternoon ride
brought a big crowd around the
hotel but it waited in vain.
Interviews Committee.
During the atternoon Mr Wilson
saw the regional committee of the
League to Enforce Peace and later
made public a list of questions sub
mitted by them regarding the
treaty, together with his answers.
The replies were a repetition of
previous public statements answer
ing similar questions placed before
him during the past week.
With the league delegation was
Mrs. Florence Collins Porter of Los
Angeles, one of the five women
members of the republican national
executive committee, who told the
president that although she had not
been able previously to support the
treaty without reservations, she had
decided to do so after hearinsr Mr.
Wilson's address at the dinner here.
last night. Later she accepted mem
bership in the League to Enforce
Peace executive committee and an
nounced publicly that she favored
immediate ratification of the treaty
as it stands. '
Speaks Tuesday in Utah.
The presidential train will leave
Reno immediately after the address
tomorrow night. On Tuesday there
will be a brief stoo at Oeden. Utah,
but no address is on the official
scedule. He will speak Tuesday
night in the tabernacle at Salt Lake
City, Utah, and Wednesday after
noon at Cheyenne, Wyoming.
During the remainder of the week
there will be two stops a .day, the
president speaking at Denver
Thursday morning, at Pueblo, Colo.,
Thursday afternoon, at Wichita,

play has been running for two years,
he has succeeded in keeping tne
original star and cast together and
it will be offered here tonight, to

the reopening of the theater on Fri

ance agent in Spain.
Augustus Pitou will present Fiske

Anna Nichols, at the Brandeis thea
ter, during Ak-Sar-Ben week, one of
the brightest and breeziest come
dies, bringing the pictorial atmo
sphere of the Emerald isle and
plenty of wit and humor.
"The Gamblers," with Harry T.
Morey. now showing at the Strand,
is taken from the stage play writ
ten by Charles Klein, has an unusual
climax, which defies all past conven
tional rules, governing such things.
The play has a happy ending, but
distinctly not sugary. The just dues
are meted out to those who have
erred, and the moral law is logically
upheld. Harry Morey is decidedly
good as Wilbur Emmerson, and
Charles Kent, Eric Mayne, George
Majeroni, are worthy of mention.
Paul Scardon as the director has got
the most out of this play. This is the
last day of this feature, owing to
the manager having booked "The
Miracle Man," the picture of the
moment, which will run Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.

HOHENZOLLERNS
WILL RULE A6IAN,
HUN AGENT SAYS
Ex-Kaiser However, Refuses
to Break Long Silence as
to Future Plans of .
Monarchy.
Amerongen, Holland, Sept. 21.
(By The Associated Press.) The
former German emperor has refused
to' break his long silence so far s
the public is concerned, even at the
behest of the monarchist leaders of
Germany. Ignatius T. Lincoln the
German agent, who was at one time
a member of the British parliament ,
and was interned during the greater
part of the war, returned hastily to
Berlin today with his guest, "Herr
Anderson," after a conference at
Bentinck castle this morning.
It was believed that Lincoln came
to Amerongen in the hope of ob
taining some direct word from the
former emperor which he could de
liver to the Hohenzollern support
ers. But if he did, the nature of it
was not disclosed. Last night Lin
coln informed The Associated Press
that he expected to have a startling
statement to make Sunday. But
just before hastening by automo
bile to Utrecht, after the confer
ence, he said he had not been au
thorized to talk, and gave The Asso
ciated Press the following written
statement: '"
"I am sorry that I am unable to
make a statement to you before my
departure from Amorengen. The
fact is there is nothing to say. I
came here in a private capacity and
return to Berlin in a private ca
pacity. Few Pleasant Chats.
"If 1 may make a suggestion, were
I in your place, I would not tele-,
graph anything that could put official
construction on my sojourn in Amer
ongen, as such statements would
most likely be refuted by the per
sons with whom I have had a few
pleasant chats of a purely personal
and private nature."
Lincoln apparently based high
hopes on the conference today. It
is known at Amerongen that while
the monarchists in Germany do not
consider the time ripe for any re
vival of the Hohenzollern claims,
they have been somewhat disturbed
by the reports that the former royal
family seems content to settle down
in Holland and have recently bom
barded the former emperor and for
mer crown price with information
purporting to show that the greater
part of the population of Germany
will, sooner or later, urge a limited
constitutional monarchy, with a Ho
henzollern king.
Willi am Hohenzollern, however,
while keeping in ciose touch with af
fairs, apparently has decided to pre
serve silence both for the sake of
himself and his eldest son. Recently
one of the Berlin monarchist news
papers sent a special envoy to
Amerongen backed with pleas from
some of the former emperor's mostv,
trusted aides, -urging him to make a
statement. But this envoy, too, who
spent considerable time at the cas
tle, had to return to Berlin unau
thorized to speak.
Hohenzollerns Still Popular.
One of the many German mon
archists, who has recently been in
Holland, explained the situation to
the correspondent.
"In Germany," he said, "the Hoh
enzollerns are still immensely popu
lar, particularly the crown prince.
Perhaps the former kaiser may
never return to the throne, but the
belief of our party is that one of the
Hohenzollerns, sooner or later, will
rule Germany again and with the
consent of the allies, who would ap
preciate their efforts of such a gov--ernment
combatting bolshevism.
Since his departure from'England
and his arrival in Berlin, Lincoln has
identified himself with the German
faction favoring the return of the
Hohenzollerns.
The general impression around
Amerongen is "that something im
portant politically is brewing ' in
Germany and that Lincoln was here
to inform and assist the former em
peror concerning the latest develop
ments. Bitter Against Britain.
Lincoln expressed the opinion
that the bitter feeling against Great
Britain would not end for a long
time. Regarding'the United States,
Lincoln said the feeling in Germany
was different and that he knew posi
tively that efforts looking toward
better relationship were under way.
A London dispatch under date of
July 1, said Lincoln would be de
ported to Hungary. The British,
government revoked his naturaliza
tion certificate early this year, fol
lowing his conviction and sentence
to three years servitude on a forg
ery charge.
Lincoln was arrested in Brook
lyn, N. Y., in August 1915, on a
charge of forgery preferred by the
British consul in New York. Lin-,
coin declared that he was a Ger
man spy and that England really
wanted to try him for this offense.
He was deported May 27, 1916.
