Senator Tuttle and Representatives
Laws and Burns are engaged In pre
paring several bills which they will
Introduce at the session of the legisla
ture which convenes on anuary 9. The
charter revision committee did not con-
ault Senator Tuttle relative to pro
posed amendmenta and It Is reported
that he has some Important amend
ments that will be Introduced. One Is
for repealing the police commission,
and It la understood that this haa the
Indorsement of Representative Laws.
As there Is no police commission at
present, and probably will not be for
some time to come, the repeal of the
law will meet the approval of a large
majority of the people.

that seems dangerous and reckless, but
thav never make a mistake. Herbert

Impression prevails that he hasn't
bone in his body, when he ties him
aplf into n double bow knot. Weaver
and Jones, the female impersonators
made a decided hit. Their wardrobe is
beautiful and of the latest fashion and

the most attractive features of the bill
Is Wheelan and Holmes, presented as
an acrobatic Chinaman and a Japanese
soubrette, and to see them none wouia
