CONFUSION IN THE HOUSE.
Requests ofthe Speaker for Order
Pass Unheeded.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The sundry
civil appropriation bill consumed the
time of the house today. There was a
fight over the New York custom
house provision and over the
Worlds Columbian exposition amend
ment. There was great confusion, the
speaker being obliged over aud over
again to sppeal to members to preserve
order, and directing the occupants Of
the galleries to do so. But request and
command were equally unavailing.
There was a constant din, and few
members who were removed more than
a couple of feet from the diSputantS
could hear word of what was uttered.
The bill to prescribe the number of dis
trict attorneys in the judicial district of
Alabama was passed over the presi-
dents VetO-11S to 81. The senate
amendments to the postOffice a0propria-,
ton were nOn-cOncurred in, and the bill
was sent to conference.
AT s O'Clock the house paid tribute to-
the memory of the late Senators Kenna,
OF West Virginia, and Hearst, Of Cali
fornia. After the eulogieS had been de-
livered, the sundry civil appropriation
bill was again taken up, and the senate
amendments relative to the worlds
fair were unanimously non-concurred
in. The bill was again sent TO confer
ence. The senate amendments TO the
Indian appropriation bill were non-con-
Cured in. The house passed a joint
resolution providing for private clerks
for representatives not chairmen of
committees and adjourned at 1910 a. m.
Friday morning.

NORRIS GIVEN UP.
His BOndsmen Won't Be Respon-
sible Any Longer

Frank p. Norris, of st. Paul, who was
indicted by the Hennepin county grand
jury for forgery several months ago,
and who has since been out on bail, his
case being continued from term to term,
is liable to get into still deeper trouble,
as the sheriff has taken him into GUS
tOdy at the lnStigatiOn OF his bOndsmen.
They stated that they wished to with
draw from his bond. At present, how
ever, they are waiting fnTther develop
ments, while the prisoner reposes in the
custody of the sheriff.
The hearing i'll the matter of the
claims against the Educational EndOW-
ment association was taken up yester-
day morning before Judges Lochren
and Hooker, and will probably last for
several more days, as there are numer-
Gus claims yet to be heard.
Judge Hooker filed OIL order yester-
day denying the demurrer interposed in
the suit of Betty Weitgner and others
against Ole A. ThingStad to recover
damages for nOn-fulfillment of con-
tract. The order settles a much-diS-
puted question of homestead rights,
deal concerning the homestead of the
defendants being made and the wife
refusing to enter it.
Judges Smith and Hooker have filed
a decision in the suit of the Pioneer
Savings and Loan Association against
A. +. Fuller. The suit was small one
involving the question of permanent
improvements.
James BrOthertOn has begun suit
against the Edgemoor bridge works to
recover $40, 100 damages for personal in
juries sustained while working on
bridge over t5e Mississippi at this point.
The Great Northern is garnished in the
action.
Thomas Cleary, thirty years old, who
claimed TO be news agent, was COM
mitted to the insane asylum yesterday
by order of the probate court.
Herbert K. Barrett has begun divorce
proceedings against Melrose a. Barrett

bate court for letters of administration

"Salyation is cheap" is an assertion
that has been dinned into the ears of
church goerS times innumerable. Now
Minneapolis people seem determined to
see just how cheap 1t is. They want
the Mills salvation meetings, but they
don't want to pay tor either meetings
or salvation. The Mills committee has
$1,000. Ii will need $1,000 at the very
least. Where the other $4,000 will come
from they do not know. The finance
committee has made thorough canvass
of the wealthy pew holders, of the men
who were expected 10 throw in $50, 500
and 500. The committee has not even
received nickelS. AS last resort, an
attempt will be made to raise the money
as the People party raises campaign
funds, by collection after speeches to
work up enthusiasm. a special com
mittee OF five has been appointed to ar
range for that meeting. 1t will be held
next Tuesday evening either in the
Swedish Tabernacle or the Plymndth
church.
The Mills meetings canvasSers were
turned loose yesterday, 400 of them.
They are working according to charts,
supplied by the pOstotfice.
Evangelist Mills and his assistants
will be quartered at the Hampshire
Arms, Fourth avenue south and Ninth
street, while in the city.

THE SUFFERING POOR.
The Records Show They Are Still
in Want.

The Records Show They Are Still
in Want.
The poor people of the city are still in
hard straits, as the records of the poor
department for the past month will at
test. Supt. Snyder stated yesterday
that there would be no let up in the
suffering of the poor people until May;
in fact, their condition would grow
worse during the next two months.
When the warm breeLeS of spring come
along the unfortunateS will have an OPP
pOrtunity to work In the free air, and
will not need coal and wood, as at pres
ent, 10 keep them from suffering the
pains of cold.
The report of the poor department for
February shows that during the month
5Sl applications for aid were made at
the Office. Groceries were given to ~
families and 80 loads of wood were dis
tributed. The number of families as
sisted was 299; adults 329, and children
493. Two old and decTepit people were
sent to the poor farm, making the total
number of persons present at that i'll
StitutiOn at the present time, SO. The
department mad filled s pauperS'
graves during the months, and assisted
IL people 10 leave for their homes i'll
various parts of the country. The num-
Der OF patients at the city hospital at
the expense of the city is 43. OF which
81 were sent there during February.

Supt. Gross appears to be peculiarly
unfortunate in his selection of guards
for the workhouse. Three more prison
erS escaped yesterday forenoon, and all
through the carelesSneSS of one of the
guards. When the usual morning
"devotions' had been gone through
with. w. T. George, a guard, was
delegated to take three prisoners with
him and clean out the snow that filled
the stone quarry adjacent to the work
house. The prisoners who were sent
with him were John Patterson and
William Wright, cOlored, and William
Hawley. white. The former two were
sent out to the bastile ten days ago to
serve out ninety-day sentence for lar
ceny. and Wright was doing the same
time for yagrancy.
George hustled out wheelbarrows for
the prisoners and ordered them into the
quarry, while he stationed himself on
the outside TO watch. George, how
ever allowed his vigilance to flag as the
morning advanced, and the prisoners
took advantage of it. While his
attention was diverted to some
point other than the quarry,
the three precious fellows dumped
their Wheelbarrows into a SnOWdrltt
and put Off. Patterson and Wright
climbed through the snow to the top OF
the quarry and hid themselves in huge
drift, and when the opportunity came
they dug through the piles of white UNI
til quite a distance from the quarry.
HaWley, however, was less fortunate.
lie is a man of large build, and when
the alarm was given he was seen stuck
ing out of snoWdrift with the broad
est portion of his anatomy exposed.
A guard, who came upon the scene
when George yelled for aid.saw HaWley
sticking back foremost from the snow,
and took a shot at the magnificent tar
get with his rifle. That he hit him is
certain, for the target disappeared with
a sudden plunge, and all that could be
found of HaWiey was some Of his lie
blood which stained the poetic white
ness of the SHOW pile. He, 100, managed
to get away, whittier no one knows.
lie disappeared in the snow like a
pebble. Inc TWO guards lranlpeu Dach
TO the workhouse, unhappy and crest
fallen, and related the circumstance to
Supt. Gross. The three prisoners had
escaped. and escaped easily, and the
fuming of the superintendent was OF no
avail. A searching party was organ
lied. and the prisoners were traced q
long distance by the footprints in the
snow. Nothing but the footprints, and
the trhe OF blood which was shed by
Hawley, could be found, however.
The luckless guard, George, was dis
charged by the superintendent without
parley, and the police were notified to
keep a look out for the prisoners. 1t is
thought they will venture into the city
for food and shelter. If they do they
will once more shovel snow at the
workhouse, for they are old offenders,
and well known to the police.

BROKERS SWAMPED.
A Receiver Appointed for the
Firm of Laughlin & McManus,
of Philadelphia.
The Firm Possessed Of City War
rants for Which No Appropri-
alton Was Made.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-Jonn s..
Hopkins, cashier of the Peoples Ma
tlonal bank, was today appointed re-
ceiver for the firm of Laughlin q Nc
Manus, brokers. Dissatisfaction among
the members of the firm regarding its
management is said to be the reason for
this step. The primary cause of the
failure was due to the firm having its
assets locked up in the certificates of
Indebtedness issued by the public
buildings commission. The latter
body, in anticipation of reimbursement
out of the city appropriations, issued
between 100000 and 100000 OF these
certificates. The refusal of city coun-
ellis to make an appropriation to the
commission for this year rendered IL i'm
possible for the holders to be reim-
bursed. The chairman of the stock eX-
change at p. m. made this announce
ment:
"Laughin & McManus announce
that they have placed their business in
the hands of receiver and that they
have no unsettled contracts or indebt-
edneSS"
The Indebtedness of the firm is be-
lleVeu 10 Do cnleIy among tne DdnkS.
but the amount has not been ascer-
tanned. 1t is expected that statement
of assets and liabilities will be published
tomorrow.
SANDUsKY. o., March 2.-There was
a run on the Sandusky Savings bank to-
day, about $50. 900 being drawn by small
depositors. The National bank and
business men stood by the threatened
bank and before the bank closed the eX-
element ended. The bank is perfectly
sound and no trouble is anticipated for
tomorrow. The late failure of Post,
Wickham and others was the primary
cause of the panic.

ney II. K. Taylor, assignee of the

THOSE BOSTON SCHOOLS.
They Don't Seem So Wonderful as
Director GiePtsen Thought.


DR.. Charles NJ. Jordon, superintendent
of public schools, returned from Boston
yesterday morning. He had storm eX-
periences on the way. His train was
stopped by wreck and the passengers
were transferred two miles in open
sleighs. Supt. Jordon is laid up just
now in consequence.
When Supt. Jordan went away, Di-
rector GjeTtsen suggested that he take
a week or more to look over Boston
schools. Mr.. GjertSen was then enthus-
iaStic over the wonderful ideas to be
acquired in Boston's most admirable
manual training department. Supt.
Jordan says of these wonderful Boston
schools:
I'm Boston their manual training
schools are all mixed up at present. The
only real training that is taught is in
the seventh grade, corresponding to our
third grade. Boston scholars are not
carried as far in manual work as we
carry our scholars, but radical changes
are being considered which will be put
in operation as soon as possible. They
Will build large school building to be
devoted to manual training entirely. l
think their equipment will be more
complete than ours, but | do not know as
the results will be any greater Our
system is much less expensive. How
ever. think | have gained some new
ideas in regard to manual training~in
the lower grades, and, after considering
the matter, may bring it to the attention
of the board OF education, but probably
not to enable any changes to be put
into effect this year"
Supt. Jordan's first object in going to
Boston was to attend the meeting of
superintendent. At that meeting the
SO-called Cambridge SYSTEM" which
provides for allowing bright pupils to
90 ahead Of their grades was discussed.
DR.. Jordan will investigate it.
He was also interested in paper on
Cleveiand school management. Down
there the superintendent has absolute
power to hire and discharge teachers,
and another official has the same power
over buildings and employees such as
janitorS. DR.. Jordan thinks the plan
too deSpotIc. DIR. Jordan Investigated
and found that Boston's stringen. tru-
| ancy law works well, but teacher told
him that the children of wealthy par
ents practically enjoy immunity from
! its provisions.
