Rose was dressed in male attire, and

she was the son of an Irishman who

that had had fatal results; her mother
was an American. Left alone in the
world, she has earned her living as a
violin plater at a muelo hall. The

CfHCAGO STRIKE
Day's Development Shows
That Both Sides Look for
Peaceful Settlement.
(Tailed Prens Lraft-d Wire.)
Chicago, Dec. 3. Settlement of the
Chicago garment workers' strike, which
during the eight weeks' struggle has
involved v,.0 workers and .lias cost
the city nearly $3,000,000, was tonight
believed to be near. If It is settled at
this time It will be a drawn battle.
'. The impression that peace Is Imminent
grew out of today's developments. This
afternoon a civlo committee on which
both Strikers and employes were repre
sented tentatively accepted a proposal
from Hart Shaf finer A. Mane, .'the big
gest of: the struck, firms., which later
was considered by a committee of the
labor unions, . This committee in turn
referred the agreement to a committee
of shop' foremen who are the advisory
board of the strikers. '.
While no definite statement of their
attitude is as yet obtainable, the im
pression is, general that they will ap
prove the . plana'. The plan. If they do
approve, -will then be laid before the
strikers in mass meeting for final- ac
ceptance - or rejection. . It ' Is believed
that the vote will be for peace.
Although only 16,000 of the striking
garment workers . are employes of the
Hart Schaffner,: & Mane firm, and al
though the other concerns engaged have
taken no active part In the peace ne
gotiations It Is pretty Well understood
that peace with the Hart firm will mean
ah end to the warfare which has cost
both employers and their workers dear.
The salient feature, of the proposed
settlement Is the abandonment by the
strikers of their former firm stand for
the "closed shop." On the part of the
employers, too, : there . are... big conces
sions, notably one that the principle of
collective bargaining by the workers is
to be established. As clearly as is yet
known the terms of the Hart Schaffner
& Marx firm are: ' t' .
. Settlement by arbitration, the firm to
select one .arbitrator, the striken one
and the two to choose a third. '
No discrimination against strikers,
but no' preference to be shown them
over ... others. -. '
Questions to be debated: Shop condi
tions, wages, , working hours. - 1 ,

itself. There - is 1 hardly anything to

most any - time. It Is, not perhaps in
such concentrated form but it Is here.
This is not the first trme New York
has decided aha did not want a fair.
Back in the 80's a committee was
formed to hold a world's fair here in
1883 If r my memory serres. General
U. 8. Grant was at tie nead of it, but
there - was not enough interest shown
and the project died a natural death. '
New York la too big for an affair

Washington, Doc. 3. -With an increase
of from 60 to 76 members of the repre

the 110 - census ; the present house la
beginning to wonder Just how to handle
the reapportionment proposition.
Under the present basts of representa- j
tlon one representative for every 193
U7 inhabitants the new house would,
have about 467 fitmbers If the census
officials estimate of a total population
Of about 82000,000 is right . f .
An assembly of tus size would be
tod unwieldy, however, according to
many prominent statesmen, for various"
reasons. Formerly tne question of 'get
ting more representatives in the politi
cal chamber would tax the ingenuity of
all architects.,-?t was necessary to re
model the chamber after- the reappor
tionment of 1900. when 86, members
were added and at that time the cham
ber was extended t to Just as large a
sire' as possible. '.There are now 400
seats in the chamber. It is barely os-
slble that a mlsapporttonment- measure (
will be passed at this session of con
gress, but the Democrats will endeavor
to, delay it until they are in' control
v They will then be able to dictate the
basis cY representation which will.' un
doubtedly be Increased. The suggestion
has been 'made that the , ratio be in
creased so as to maintain the house at
