Til A BUSH BROTHES, THE The many varieties of entertain-1 ment for-whieh-vaudeville is so popular are promised in todays bill at the Marlow theater. Singing and musical specialties, lancing, comedy and novelty are included in the five acts of Association vaudeville and The Glorious Trail, a chapter cf American history with Ken Maynard will be the screen offering.

The Ruby Girls, a trio of attractive misses, present an act that embodies a series of contrasts which are artistically' and entertainingly blended into a rather novel offering of song and dance. A group of different steps are introduced which show the evolution of dance from the days away back when mother was a girl right down to the eccentric and speedy dance of the current age of flapperdom. 'One of the girls, also, is a talented pianist and singer. Carl Armstrong and Charlotte Earle have. a.

comedy offering in which they depict two characters that have embarked on the sea of matrimony and encountered' some rough sailing. Carl portrays the play-boy type of husband and his comely partner enacts the unsophiscated, trusting wife. They bring into play a brand of patter that is replete with unusual -wH-and humor- For those who appreciate Sweetsounding music the Spanish Trio have a delightful Offering. Each member of the group hails from the sunny land suggested by the title. They are accomplished musicians and the different instruments they use are handled in a masterly fashion.

Frank Peg Jones surprises everyone with his agility as an acrobatic dancer and the number of steps he executes. Jones has but one leg. Garbed as a veteran of the Civil war Jones delivers an excruciatingly funny monologue that is richly filled with bright and snappy witticisms.

West of Chicago was questioned for two hours tod-' by the late lands committee winch has be. re it his nomination as secretary of interior. He was asked particularly about his connections with the Samuel Insun utility interestj and his consideration of protests over the renewal of the Salt Creek royal oil contract to Harry F. Sinclair, negotiated by his predecessor1, Hubert Work. The secretary said he had invested about $67,000 in stock of the Insull companies over 26 years, which he sold for $118,000 when he took office in the cabinet last July.

He said he now had no investments in public utilities. 1 Capper Rer4. Mr. West said he had received a protest from. Senator Capper, republican, Kansas, a week after taking office, against the renewal of the Salt Creek royal oil contract to Sinclair and on advice of E.

C. Finney, an assistant secretary of interior, had replied that the entire question of the contract was then in the hands of the department of justice. Chairman Nye of the committee excused Mr. West after the two-hour examination this" afternoon, but no committee action on his nomination is expected pending the questioning tomorrow of Mr. Work, former secretary of interior, and other government officials in connection with the Sinclair contract renewal last February.

Wall Lead Quia. Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, conducted the questioning of the secretary and centered his attention on what he termed the failure of Mr. West to answer particular questions in Cappers letter concerning the Salt Creek renewal. Mr. West, who sat across the committee table from the Montana senator, replied that the letter of Senator Capper came to him within a few days after he took office.

He said he read the Capper letter hurriedly; that "it was all new to me and I called in Judge Finney in whom I had great confidence. When Mr. Fin-ney presented him with a reply he said, he signed it without reading it. The reply said the case was in the hands of the department of justice. "I assumed the letter was answered.

he said. I didnt read the letter of Senator tapper again. Nor did he write to me again. -i Why No An wot? Senator Walsh inquired why he had not replied to these two questions in the letter and which he contended should have been answered. The questions were: Was the existence of the optional agreement in-the' Sinclair contract disclosed at the time the execution of the original contract was announced in the press? "Is it true that the state of Wyoming received 31 cents a barrel more for its royalty oil than was received by the government for its oil from the same fields under Sinclair lease? The Montanan that Mr.

West should have made inquiry about these questions. you ever make any further inquiry into the protest of the White Eagle Oil company which was presented by Senator Capper? asked Senator Walsh. -Yes, I did, answered West. "When? continued Walsh. "Soon thereafter I asked about the protest, West said, "and was assured that the case was entirely in the hinds of the department of justice and when it acted, iheri I would act.

After World Exploded. Mr. West explained how he had cancelled the Sinclair contract by wire on the day he had received the opinion from the attorney general that the contract was void. That Was last October" 17, this was two days after the New York World had published the protest of the White Eagle Oil company, Walsh explained. West said he had done law work for the Insull interests since 1897, but principally in small kriminal cases.

He declared he had served on a salary basis, and that the total fees collected by his law firm from the Insull companies in 26 years had amounted to $24,585. After he had been dismissed. Senator Walsh called the secretary back to ask if he had sat as a member of the water power commission in the recent hearing of the application by the Insull interests for rights on the Cumberland lie replied he had sat as one of the three members on that application, which is still pending. The secretary declared that he and Mr. Insull had almost always been on opposite sides jn repubti.

Smith an he and Senator Denecn supported the late Senator McKinley fr the republican nomination.
