In the Hands of . Committee Clerk-What
to Do With It.
WAsHNoToN, June 19.-[Special. i The
silver bill il now in the possession of the
clerk of the committee on coinage, weights
and measures, and he has no authority to
surrender its custody except upon the order
OF the house or the speaker. No such order
has been made by the house, the resolution
merely expunging tho statement of the
transaction from the journal, and the
speaker is not likely to recall it. There il
no record on the journal that any reference
to the measure has been made and therefore
it is doubtful whether motion to discharges
the committee Of the whole from further
consideration of the measure would be in
order, or even whether the committee on
rules can report resolution fixing . day
for its consideration. The journal of
Wednesday, however, not having vet been
approved, some method may be devised to
cut the Gordian knot which binds the silver
bill, and also relieve the house from its di-
lemma.
The senate committee on appropriations
has made several increases in the amounts
of appropriations for land Office expenses.
As reported in the legislative. executive and
judicial bill, the amounts given the sur
veyor-Reneral Of South Dakota is $13, 700 for
salary and clerks, an increase from 5000;
the allowance for Washington has been in
creased from 5000 to 81, 500 for clerk hire.
Montana remains the same as originally re-
ported, $500. North Dakota has an in
crease from 5000 to $1,000.
Senator Squire wants a larger appropria-
tion for the agricultural college in Wash
ington than is provided under the general
appropriation for this purpose. The amount
now recommended is $1,000. When the bill
providing for the appropriation for the ag-
ricultural department comes up for consid-
Grafton, Mr.. Squire will offer an amendment
to the bill to increase this amount to $15,-
600.

Death of Mrs. Hibbard from the Careless
Handling Of Kerosene.
= BrrrE, June 1s.-JSpecial. The little
town Of Whitehall, about hfty-two. milas
from this place, on the Bozeman branch,
was the secene of q terrible tragedy shortly
after 6 O'Clock this morning. Mrs. Hib-
bard, a young French woman, undertook
to hasten the breakfast fire by pouring
kerosene upon it from large can. In some
way the oil was ignited, and in All instant
the unfortunate woman was enveloped in
burning fluid. Frightened beyond control,
she ran screaming into the yard and made
such frantic efforts that the attempts of her
husband to save her were futile. Her
clothing was burned entirely from her body
by the time she could be brought within
reach of assistance and nothing could be
dcne to save her life. She fingered on un-
til IL o'clock, suffering the most horrible
agony until almost the last moment, when
death came to her relief. The entire conn.,
munity is in mourning over the sad affair."
as Mrs. Hibbard was general favorite.

ceived reprimand from Judge Henry, who
stated that the value of the property stolen

WAsHINGToS, April IS.-Enloe,
Of Tennessee, rising TO n question Of
personal privilege, had read an ar
ticle from = New York paper, de-
claring that a gigantic fob had
been discovered in the southern war
claims bill, introduced by him. The
article states that Thomas, OF Wis
eonsin, chairman Of the committee
on war claims, had denounced the
bill rs one of the most imam Us jobs
which had ever been foisted upon
Congress.
Thomas said that he had not can
vasSei any members OF the commit
tee. He had stated that II the bill
passed IL would lie infamous, be-
cause he could prove that n number
Ofclnims in the bill were claims OF
persons notably disIOyal.
Ef'lDe said the charge in the ar
ticle that he had brought the hill
before the House in n surreptitious
manner was n falsehoOd.
Thomas reiterated his statement
that a number Of the claims In the
bill were those OF dislOyal persons
and that a number Of them had
never been examined by the COM
mittee.
BatterwOrth moved that the House
go into committee Of the whole for
the consideration OF the legislative
appropriation bill. The motion was
defeated-yeas ll2. nays ZIG.
The court OF claims bill was the
first on the calendar. Thomas, Of
Wisconsin, offered a resolution that

with the recommendation that il be
recOnimitied with instructions TO
the committee on war claims to in
quire into the loyalty OF each
claimant.

The Turks are said to be especial.

The tulip was first made known

Swiss naturalist, who was born in
Zurich, March %, 1916.
Early in the spring the Turks eel

TIE Denver Ne:cs Of the 18th
inst. has the following paragraph in
relation TO this city:
"Salt Lake is very busy with it,
municipal improvements and seems
possessed OF an energy not her own,
At least one to which her people have
long been unaccastomed. Sewer work
is in progress, street railways are be-
ing extended, paving districts organ
lied, business blocks and new resid-
ences contracted for, and many i'm
provemenis md enterprises all Of
value 10 the city in process OF COM
ple;ion. Il IS expecied that Congress
will appropriate money to turn a por-
ton Of the military reservation into An
attractive park. The lake shore is in
process Of improvement for the bath
ing season, and within a year or two
at far, hest, beautiful Antelope Island,
with its sandy beach, fresh water
springs and freedom from dust and
mud, viii be connected with the main
land by a railway built upon piles. All
this progress is due to the late Gentle
victory, which has transform ed Salt

into an active, growing, busting

ing forward to the position it is des-
tined to occupy in the Rocky noun
tain region"
An this progress is not due 20 the
late "Gentle victory. Before that
"victory'' occurred, a sewer system
had been far advanced toward COM
| pletion, and this city had one
Of the best electric street rail-
way plants in the world, which
was being rapidly extended he
| fore the victory happened. Iur-
| ing the last two years OF Peoples
Party rule z "builjing boom"
gained tremendous headway, and
what Is now seen are the results OF
that movement 10 q very great tx
tent. Was a GENTLE victory"
gained over the War Department,
which Is TO result In Transforming
the Fort Douglas military reserva-
ton into a PARK? Plans for the
| iulprovement Of nearly the whole OF
the east shore Of the lake were in
process OF maturity or execution
| long before the "victory," while
the Antelope island scheme is at
least ten years old.
The organization Of paving dis
tricts was not possible until the

for them n few weeks after the
"yictory'' transpired. But the old
| City Council had iegun making
arrangements for paving. If the
Nelrs desires 10 be disabused in re-
gard 10 the credit due the Gentle
! City Council for public spirit and
improvements, it should read the

papers Of this city almost daily for
some time past, in which the pres
ent city government is censured for
inactivity and lack Of enterprise and

The BLACK Mountains. KY the
Scene OF "a Desperate Encounter.
LOUISVILLE. April ia special
to the Times fIOm Harlan Count
House says: a deadly fight Oc-
CURED this morning at leo O'Clock,
seventeen miles east Of here, up in
the Black Mountains. between a de-
tail Of state troops, consisting Of
sixteen pr.vates, Lieutenant Milton
and Sergeant Pullian and about
thirty outlaws who were forth
fed in an oil barn. Five Of
the soldiers Were wounded. 1t Is
not known how many Of the out
laws were killed, as they still have
possession Of the barn. Corporal
Blantin was sent in after reinforce
ments, and knows but little, as lie
left Immediately after the firing be-
gan. Troops have surrounded the
barn and Il will lie impossible for
those inside TO make their escape.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Gai-
Their, who Is commanding officer,
WIS informed that q body OF lawless
men, some OF whom had been in
licted for various oflenses, were at
the above mentioned locality and re-
fused to surrender 10 the authorities.
He was asked for n detail Of men for
the purpose Of arrcsting them. His
men left the camp yestetd1y after
noon, expecting TO find the men they
were pursuing in n private house
about SIX hundred yards heyond the
barn from which they had
fired. An attack was not
looked for at that point,
and came so unexpectedly that ii
demoralized the sOlGiers for a mo-
ment or two, but they soon rallied,
surrounded the harm, and began
firing into Il from every direction.
Afterwards it was thought best 10
cease action and hold tine fort until
rrinforcements arrived with more
ammunition. Ii Is believed that
severe fight will take place
as soon as additional troops
reach the place, for the outlaws are
fortified, well armed with Winchest-
er rifles, and swear that they will
not surrender, that they are de
termined, and want revenge for
those who have been shot down.
