HAD BEEN OFIEEED BEST OF IT Vate Following Left ia Control In dicate Victory for Peterson. Iiiishnell, 111., March 22. (Special.) Kepublicans of the Fourteenth con- pression.'il district met in cenvention here at 11 this morning. i!ock Island county is represented by thu two con testing delegations, of ; which Zi'X rep resenting the Yates faction came last night and .It) representing the Iowden faction came, this morning. Jloth have been exceedingly active in but ton-holing- the other delegates in an effort to secure favors at the hands of the convention. Th convention was called to order by Chairman J. F. Crawford, of Han cock 'county, chairman of the congres sional committee. Clarence F. lluck, of Warren county, was made tempor- irv chairman, and Dr. W. O. Ilutler, of Hancock county, and 1. H. McClel- la"nd, of MeDonoiigh count-, were made 1fiiiporary secretaries. 15y agreement in ' advance Hock Island county did not participate in the tem porary organization. The committee on credentials, com posed of delegates from the five coun ties not contesting, was appointed to pass ujn the merits of the contest ants from this county and is now at work. 3Ur Seat Both. The best that has been offered to either faction from Hock Island coun ty is to seat both in convention and give each delegate half a vote. This both declare they will not accept, bu.t will leave the hall and refuse to par ticipate. The fight is a most bitter one. J lie lates ie:eg:ites are led iy a steering committee, at the head of which is ('. .1. Searle and Col. C. I.. Walker. Tin Lowden faction is being looked after by I,. (.'.'islanding and IS. I.

At 3 o'clock the credential commit tee reported favorably to tin seating of 21 members of the Lowden delega tion and 20 ' members of the Yates delegation, thus giving the former the control of Kock Ilani"s policy in the convention. When the rejxirt was presented W. A. Meese spoke for the Lowden dele pates and declared that lie and his followers had come to the convention for a principle and would not consent to a split of the delegation. C. .1. Searle i-poke for the Yates men and declared they were willing to abide by the will of the convention. The ques tion upon the adoption i f the report of the committee was then put anil carried 57 to 27, eight from Mercer and l'. from McDniough voting against. The Lowden delegation thereupon left the hall. March 23. John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist. March 24-20. Ireland Brothers. The Holden Comedy evening pave "Over the company last Pacific" at the Illinois theatre. Acrobatic parts by the Swallow family, of this city, was a feature that met with generous i plause. Otis Skinner has obtained the Ameri Thoro io no GubatiituHa for K0O0) Absolutely Pure a PJlattos9 off ffloaHh can rights, for the latest plav b- Jean Kichepin, the French dramatist. The name of the play has not yet been I.e'p.!. but it will probably be "The Wanderer. The scene is laid on the French Canadian border a half cen tury ago. Lizzie Hudson Collier will probably create the leading female role of Toiuette. Mr. Skinner will bring out the play immediately after the close of Ins engagement with Ada Kehan. in May. It is predicted that the salaries of actcrs. an! especially of mushroom stars, will be much lower next season, says the New York Sun. The mutual protective association, recently form el by the managers, it is really inten ded to bring down the pay of actors. In the past three or f.-.ur years the prosperity of the theatres has leen greater than it ever was before. Man agers have earned so much money that they have taken all kinds of risks, and have made stars out of many ac tors who happen to have been success ful in iie or two plays that had long runs, and have then paid them twice as much as they were worth. Now salaries are expected to .fall. It is these young men and women who were made into stars 1 hat are likely to find themselves compelled next year to accept lower salaries. The managers who have atways got the best results out f the actors were not the men who paid the largest salaries. David Jielasco and Austin Daly never paid Iheir actors salaries which are large when compared with those paid by other managers. Hut nobody would deny that for all-round excellence there are no performances today that compare with those given by the Delasco companies. The same was true of the Daly company iu the lifetime of its manager. The reason for this is that Ilelasco is able to teach his actors to do what ever he wants of them. The same thing was true of Austin Daly in his time. So Ilelasco and men like him are in a measure free from the vexations that the other managers have been compelled to struggle with. These managers have been for years at the mercy of the actors. Competition I made it possible for the actors to keep ilaries 5i:gh when they knew that one manager would pa 3- tnem more even if another did not. The recently formed union is to keep the managers from paying- an iclor a higher salary than the union thinks he is worth. When one manager has refused to pa 3 an actor more than he is legitimately entitled to ask, it is piejxtscd to have the other mana ges also refuse to take him. The ef fects of this new association are to be noticed first next spring, when en gagements for the following season arc made. An I it is saf? to say that many an actor will have his pay cut.

SOME OPPOSITION- IN COUNCIL SXayor and Clerk Instructed to Nego tiate TermaOtber, Mnnlci pal Affairs. The I. L. Mitchell estate has ac cepted the proposition of the city for the purchase of the property occupied as the cit.v hall at the corner of Third avenue and Sixteenth streets fur $15, OO0. The price asked originally was $17.- 'MH. The acceptance was read at the meeting of the c'itv council last even ing aiui was accompanied b- a war rant - deed. The mavor and the clerk were instructed to negotiate terms and report to the next meeting of the al dermen, when tho matter will be pass ed on definitely. There is a division of the council on the advisability of closing the deal, the opposition holding that it is a poor in vestment owing to the fact that there is not sutlicient frontage in the event the municipally decided to build, as il will doubtless, a few years hence. The present quarters are inudequatc for the uses of the citv' and improve ments will have to be made if thev- are to be longer occupied as the home of the municipality. Mayor McConoehie is not in favor of purchasing the pro perty. Aid. A. (I. Anderson, chairman of the finance committee, thiaks it would be a good investment. He figures that on the basis of the rental received now from tenants other than the C1I3- the latter could meet the interest of the principal and have at least $2ui) to $?.0 velvet each year. He holds further that the property will not deteriorate in value, and going on' this theory hould there be a decision reached, 10 years hence to erect a new city hali the prepertv' could be disposed of, per haps at a profit, surely not at a loss. and a new site acquire. I. In the mean time the city would have the use of the quarters free of expense. Twelfth Street Scwrr Overtaxed. lropert3 owners asked permission to have a 10-inch pipe laid on Four teenth street between Ninth and 1'enth avenues to connect with the Fifteenth street sewer. Aid. Naab protested against further taxing the Twelflh street sewer. lie was sec onded by Aid. Kckhnrt. who said that the newer overflowed whenever there was a light rain, and he felt that it was an injustice to have those who have paid for its bem fits to have any additional connections made. What was needeil for the southwest section of the citv- was a storm drain, but it would never be secured as long as the council allowed petitions. Aid. Hirkal replied that at t'ie l;:-t rreet'iig a con nection was per'iiii an ! h" object ed to such partiality e'ng display ed by the aldermen. Aid. Kolil.ius fa vored allowing the petition, but only with the expres-s condition that the property owners interested jmy Iheir proportionate share when the storm drain improvement was undertaken. The "petition was referred to the sew er committee and city attorney by a vote of 7 to o. Damage Tr.im standplp-. F. L. Dli.-s had a communication ba fore the council complaining of dam age to his property from overflow from the standpipe on Thirtieth street. He owns houses adjoining t he reservoir north and south, ajid stated that he had difficulty in holding ten ants owing to fear of being Hooded. He cited numerous instances wherein the cellars had been filled and the watr flowing into the living apart ments, damaging furniture and cloth ing. Mr. llliss said he had been prom ised relief by members of the water works committee. Thev- having fail ed to do as agreed, he appealed to the council. If the latter did not give the matter the desired attention he would resort to other means. It was order ed, on motion of Aid. Kohhins, that an electric regulator be placed on the standpipe. This apparatus will cause the ringing of a gong at the reservoir pumping station when the water in the standpipe reaches a given height. Objoct to Frame Bullitlnir. William Klockau. the wagon maker, wants to erect a - new sHop on his premises, corner of Fourth avenue and Sixteenth street, promising to cover it with corrugated iron and pro vide a gravel roof. Aid. F. K. Kobbins. of the fire and light cminiiUtc. ro j ported that his conmrf.ee. fecl.r.g that it was about time : I...': -V. ':!-'. ! be called on permitting further fr:M;i strnetures in the fire limits, had agreed to put it up to the council to pass on the petition of Mr. Klockau. The latter was present. He said he was not financially able to put up a brick budding now. but if the council would allow him to r, on with 1J I- I luuuiiijjuuru j in rov emeu i , 111 a irv. years he hoped to build a shop that would be an ornament to l!:e locality. AM. Eikhart produced the citv" ordi nances showing that the consent of j.ll the owners of property in a block in which it wn-s proposed to construct 1 frame building wns-. required before the council legally had the right to irant a petition of thp nature of Mr. Klockau's. Aid. P.irkel did not think ?t was fair for the council 1 prevent Mr. Kb ckau in providing accommoda tions for the carrving on of his busi ness. He was satisfied he would erect 1 hui'ding in every wav satisfactory to the owners of propertv- in that neighborhood. It was decided finally, on motion of AM. Kennedy, that Mr. Klockau's petition le granted when he furnished the clerk the signatures of the proertv" owners iu the block sanctioning the proposed improve ment.
