L4 " DONOVAN ADVOGATES STIPEND ABANDONMENT " Comesticat Congressman Opposts Pay for Represeatatves. (Special to the Herald.) Washingten, D. C., April 18.—Con- gressman Donovan of the Bridgeport district in Connecticut is in favor of having members of congress serve without salary. He thinks they would ‘make better representatives of the country if Uncle Sam paid them no stipend each month, and he stands e.ready at any time to vote for such an innovation. His views were outlined yesterday, Just before the house was to vote on the proposal for a change in ‘“mile- age” allowances to members of con- gress. For years it has been the cus- tom of the house to vote appropria- tions of twenty cents per mile, each way, for each member of congress for travel allowance for .each session of congress, Recently there has been agitation, in connection with ‘“econ- omy” programs, to cut down this al- Flowance for traveling to actual ex- penses. The house committee on ap- propriations recently recommended | this change. Yesterday’'s vote was to determine which travel allowance plan was to be adopted—actual ex- penses or twenty cents per mile each way. Extremist on Matter. “You know, I am an extremist on this matter,” he replied, in answer ~» to the question as to how he would vote. “I am not in favor of any mileage allowance or travel allowance and I would vote not to pay any sal- aries to members of congress.” “Why?” he was asked. “I think if they served without sal- ary their votes would not be influ- > enced by money considerations and they would be more inclined to vote what they thought was right.” “You don’t think the absence of salary would make them more open to temptations of outside financial considerations?” he was asked. “I don’t think they would be tempt- ed as much as when serving for a salary,” replied Mr. Donovan. Congressman Donovan - cited the fact that until a few years ago mem- bers of the English house of com- mons served without pay. ““And they gave England the best government she ever had,” added Mr. Donovan.

DILLINGHAM, Supt., ¥ Bridgeport, Conn, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1914. “Bulbul,” a comic opera, - full of pleasing situations and enriched by good songs, was presented by the High school dramatic cast last eve- ning in the school auditorium be- fore a large audience. This was the first musical production that the high school thespians had ever attempted -and their efforts were crowned with success. The operetta wil} be repeated this evening at the same place- One of the pleasing events which occurred “behind the scenes” was when, just before the curtain went up for the first act. Miss Mildred Weld, faculty adviser for the cast, was pre- sented with & gold -pendant by her proteges. ‘The operetta “Bulbul” is staged in a pleasing manner and the first act takes place in King Iamit's palace. Leon- ard Maler, as the royal king, was good in hig part and was applauded for his song ‘“‘A -Mild Mannered Monarch.” Vocal ability and cleverness in danc- ing was demonstrated by the maids of honor chorus. Miss Katherine Mills, in the role of Lila, one of Bulbul's friends, sang two selections with ability. Soon after this feature the plot of the operetta begins to unfold when King Iamit tells his beautiful and much sought daughter, | Bulbul, that she must marry Prince Caspian. Miss Katherine Buol, as the king’s daughter, does not take kindly to this parental order and denounces her father in song. Then enters Prince Caspian incognito- Smitten with the fair daughter, of the royal monarch he determines to win her love without telling her who he is, and in a peddler's disguise the erstwhile prince sing in chorus. Ida, the courtchaperone, is admirably acted by Miss Mildred Robinson and ! Vincent Glynn does well as Prince Caspian’s friend, Alan. Of the many songs of the evening the one entitled “Love is such a funny thing,” by Cas- | pian and Bulbul, made the biggest hit. Act I closes with a dance by the court dancer, Miss Corrine Goodwin. She is a graceful dancer. In the second act, which takes place in a room near the palace ball room, | the Housemaid's chorus come into prominence. Also in this act Caspian tells Bulbul of his identity and how much he loves her. The inevitable happens and she becomes his be- trothed, while Ida and Iamit and Lilla and Alan, who® have been secretly fond of each other, also decide to embark upon the sea of matrimony. ‘Thus endeth the play and all live happily ever after. i All of the participants did well | pleasant. in their respective parts and showed the effects of Miss Weld's careful coaching. Maxwell Porter and Miss Rachael Parker, who managed the production, are also deserving of | credit. An orchestra, made up of Messrs. Ohman, Gross, Anderson, Holmes and Kopolowitz, did well as did the High school orchestra which played between the acts. The cast is herewith given: Characters Represented.
