in this act, the President Of the Senate
shall have power to preserve order, and
no debate shall be allowed and no ques-
ton shall be put by the presiding ofii-
Ger, except to either house, on a mo-
ton to withdraw and upon questions
upon which the two houses have disa-
greed as aforesaid.
Mr.. Edmunds said that the PROPOSE
ton Of Mr.. Sherman was that, in case
the Senate and House Of Representa-
tiyes disagreed in their constitutional
and automatic capacity as the Govern
ment ofthe United States, there should be
q consolidated count Of the heads of 70
senators and 1926 representatives, and
that the majority Of all per capita
should determine the result. II were

this case. The Senate of the United
States might just as well propose to
the House Of Representatives a bill
which declares that in case Of disagree
ment between the two houses in respect
Of the identifcationof . vote that then
and there the judgment Of the House
of Representatives should prevail and
be done with it."
Mr.. Sherman thought that was what
the bill already did.
Mr.. Edmunds begged his pardon.
The bill now said that in case one OF
these equsls-one representing the SOW
ereignty, purity, and independence OF
the States, and the other representing
the mass of the people Of all the States,
without regard to State lines-diss-
greed, that nothing should be done in

of New York, after it had been made
public and generally known in the coun-
try that the election in the city of New
York had been carried by overwhelm-
ing fraud, do not believe the people
of the United States would have been
satisfied with any result that depended
upon the vote of the State OF New
York but then, again, fortunately for
the country, we were able to avoid the
difficulty by saying that however New
York might be counted it would not
change the result.
Several times" Mr.. Sherman con-
tinued, "that condition of affairs exist
ed. until inally in 1877 we came to a
point that did really threaten the
very. existence of civil war, or
might have done so under certain
circumstances, where the votes
disputed did change the result, where
a change even to the extent Of one vote
might have changed the result. That
was happily averted by the continuance
of the Electoral Commission-because
cannot call it much more than con-
trivance, and | suppose the senators
will not call it anything else Il did not
support it at the time)-by which solu-
ton was found for this difficulty with
out strife. think this is vital ques-
ton that we ought to decide. We
ought to approach it without re-
gard to party utilization, and try
if we can to decide this most difficult
question Of American politics. The
objection / have to this bill under con-
sideration is that it does not solve any
of these questions. 1t does not settle
a single one Of the questions that have
arisen in the past, or that are likely to
arise in the future. This bill makes
the distinction between the returns
of votes Of electors from States
where there is one return and

An Aid to Justice.
Composite Photography as Means Of
Testing Signatures.

A novel application of a recent scien-
tfic discovery was made before the or
phans court by DIR. Persifor Frazier.
During the audit of the account of Sa-
muel Clark Jr.. as administrator of the
estate of his father, who was large mill
owner in the northeastern part of the
city. some questions of checks and char
ges upon partnership accounts arose. in
connection with which it was necessary
to settle the validity of some sigma
lures.
Instead of resorting to the old and I'M
satisfactory method of the testimony of
handwriting experts, DIR. Frazier was in
duced to try the principle of composite
photography. This principle was dis
covered recently by an Englishman
named Gallon. and consists i'm producing
photograph which is an embodiment
of number of originals. 1t is
done by taking photographs of each sub
ject separately, giving each plate, how

time requisite for its proper develop
ment. In this way only the features
which are in all of the originals appear
distinctly in the composite while the eX-
ceptions and irregularities are lost. The
discoverer obtained remarkable results
in securing types of criminals, persons
afflicted with pulmonary troubles. family
lkenesses. etc.
DIR. Frazier was given eighteen checks
admittedly signed by the decedent,
which he divided into three groups, ac-
cOrding to the size of the handwriting.
Some checks were used in two groups, so
that each one of the three composites
was made up from about dozen checks.
The result was that in each one of the
plates the signature "Clark & Co." was
quite distinct, the only indistinct and SUI
perfluous lines being about the first two
letters. Judge Hanna, before whom the
audit took place, said that the plates
We're certainly trustworthy guides, and
that he regarded the discovery asa very
important one in connection with the

"A LAKE FOR AUSTIN.

A plan is being discussed of removing
the stumps and snags from The large space
overlooked by the Cedar. 1t is only q
question of time when something must be
done with this large tract of overflowed
land, for it grows worse each year. The
stencil arising from decaying stumps and
weeds is almost uncomfortable, at times, by
people living in that vicinity. The first
step is to take out the stumps, which, can
be done more easily and at less cost in
the winter than at any other time. This
could be done at q small expense during
the coming winter; two men and q team
of horses. with derrick, could do the
work. We believe enough money could
be raised BY subscription to pay The ex-
pense. Let q subscription paper be start
ed at once. and by spring al the insight
~ stumps and snags can be removed.
