Illinois Capitol brief notes that Charter Bill 15 was rescued with a 9 to 56 vote and sent to third reading in the Illinois House during the Springfield session. The measure advances in the legislative process with further debate and approval anticipated.
The consolidation measure narrowly survived a defeat with 69 yeas and 66 nays as Browne’s motion to strike the enacting clause failed. The bill moves to third reading amid a fierce clash, with several Republicans pledging to oppose final passage. Chipefield urged duty to the people while Browne argued against limiting Chicago’s representation.
Edward Hope chairs the house committee on enrolled bills and is accused of delaying Lantz’s measure to extend Chicago election commissioners’ jurisdiction to all Cook County. The bill, advanced to third reading last Tuesday, has not left Hope’s committee. Roger C. Sullivan’s reform aims allege county election fraud in rural areas. Weber, a Republican leader in country towns, opposes the bill amid Senate maneuverings and Potter amendments narrowing the bill’s scope.
The house debated and moved several measures including a 10,000 tuberculin test funding, a six round boxing bill, and a big hat restriction for Illinois. A quorum dispute led by Kirkpatrick threatened to stall business as leaders blamed the senate for a Friday absence. New appropriations seek 5.78 million for buildings and monuments statewide.
A Waldorf scene recounts a six year old girl guiding her foreign mother through a travel delay, the child politely handling tickets and bundles. Other items praise relief from eczema with Cuticura products, and include brief humorous vignettes about a hotel news stand, Mrs. Howe’s wit, a railway accident report, and assorted ads and quips.
The piece promotes a simple chemical test to detect impurities in paint materials and warns of adulterated white lead. It urges homeowners to request House owners Painting Outfit No 4 from National Lead Company in New York, which includes color schemes and specifications. The Dutch Boy Painter trademark is touted as a purity guarantee.
A collage of 1900s quips and ads notes resident doctors billing Mrs. Tooter for nervous prostration, a colonel bragging about Texas deer antlers between trees, and a hatchery success report. Also mentions Marine Eye Remedy ads, the world’s oldest man rumor, Allen’s Foot-Ease promotion, and a postal sample offer.
A natural conclusion features a debate about Bangs success in his new work. One speaker doubts him, saying he has no chance due to lacking spirit. A second speaker comments on Misa Adele’s mobile face and occasional automatic expression.
