A DOCKING SYSTEM.
Congressman Will Lose Their Sal
aries When absent

aries When Absent
WASHINGTON. April 1S.-An era of
business is rapidly being inaugurated
In the house Of representatives. The
quorum counting rule has been the first
step in that direction. Further steps
are now contemplated by which absen-
teeims will be brought to all end. The
house will then have system by which
members can he compelled TO attend,
and when i'll attendance can be counted
to make.a quorum. 1t will be the most
stringent system for enforced attend
ance and enforced voting that congress
has ever had, the system under Mr..
Reed having lacked the plan of with
holding the pay of absent members. 1t
is believed by parliamentary authorities
that the new system will make it almost
out of the question to break quorum,
and that the house from this time for.
ward will always be ready to do bust
ness. The judiciary committee, made
up of the leading lawyers of the house,
has presented report 10 the effect that
1t is the Imperative duty of the sergeant
alarms to execute the old law for the
deduction of pay for absent members.
This report supplements the recent
action Of the Democratic caucus in
tIucting the sergeanr.at-arms to exc
cute the law. 1t is in lie with then
general movement to enforce attend
ance with every law and rule which will
aid In the transaction of business.
The report of the judiciary commit
tee, after reciting the old law, says:
Under the provisions of this law there
can be no question that member Of
congress is not entitled to receive pay
for any day when he is absent from the
house, unless he can assign as the
reason for his absence his own sickness,
or the sickness of some member of his
family, and it is purely question for
him to consider whether. if he desires
to attend to his personal business. it is
worth more to him as his daily pay or
salary as member OF congress, or it he
chooses to absent himself on a trip for
pleasure, whether he prefer that OF to
draw his per diem salary or the amount
of salary he would have been entitled
to receive if lie had been in attendance
at the house.
The report shows how the failure to
dock" salaries grew up during the
war, when many members were officers
in the army and were necessarily alb
sent.

THE HIGHWAYMEN,
Van Dorsent and II all in the Police
Court.

Court.
Van Dorsent and Hall. the men ar
rested by Detectives Hankinson and
Stavalo charged with being the princi-
pals in the Reed robbery, were ar
raigned in the police court yesterday
morning before Judge Holt. Van Dor
sent, who acted as spokesman. said he
was DESTROYS of being tried at once, so
the case came to trial at about 10
O'Clock. The state introduced its wit
neSses and showed the strength of its
side of the case. Van Dorseut, when
this had become apparent, rose and
asked the court to postpone the case
until today. stating that he had come
to the conclusion he needed an attorney.
Judge Holt granted the request, and
Van Dorsent and Hall were taken back
to the lookup.
The prisoners now know what sort of
a case to put up. Reed called at the
lock-up again yesterday and positively
identified Van DorseDt as the man who
hit him over the head with slungshot.
He also identified Hall as the man who
was with Van Dorsent. The detectives
went through several grips found in the
house where the two men were arrested
and found dozen or more receipts for
room rent from landlords in all parts of
the city. The detectives propose to
make search of these various places
hoping thereby to find additional proof
of the guilt of the two men.

NEW USE FOR GAS.
How the Coming Street Car Motor
will Be Propelled

will Be Propelled
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The coming
motor for the propulsion of street cars
will be gas, according to the report of
United States Consul General Mason, at
Frankfort. Germany. He shows that,
while the Germans have not built nearly
as much street railway and cable and
trolley roads as we have, they have in
vestigated the subject Of an ideal motive
power with their usual thoroughness,
and, after exhaustive experiments, have
determined that the gas motor is the
cheapest and best of all means of power
propulsion. The trend of the best ex-
pert opinion is in that direction, and
this has come at period when cleo
tricity seemed to be on the point of re-
placing and Supersedlng all other forms
of motive power. The report tells of
the great expense of the cable in con-
struction, the noise and danger of the
trolley, and of the high operating cost
and unreliability of the underground
electric railway system, and then, COM
ing back to the gas motor, he describes
experiments that have been made with
it in Europe. Practical trials have
been made at Neufchatel. Switzerland,
and at Dresden, and the results in both
cases, while perhaps not wholly con-
elusive, have been so favorable as to be
worthy of examination.

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
1t Involves Property Of Mining
Company.


An important case was taken up for
argument before Judge Jamison yester-
day morning. 1t is that of Moses
Thompson against Henry &. Stocker,
George l.. Matcham, Nicholas GALES,
James G. Stout. Robert L. Lang, Nor
ton f. ScOfeld, the Century Investment
company, the Standard Gold Mining
and Milling company. The complaint
in the case set forth that Moses Th9mp-
son and Nicholas GALES were owners of
the mining property in question in
November, 1899, the legal title
being i'll Thompson, and GALES
was the equitable owner OF the UNI
divided one-fourth interest. The title
to the property was subject to trust
S16.500. and Thompson and Gales had
incurred other debts. the whole aggre-
eating about $4,000. Messrs. Thomp-
son and GALES applied to StOcker &
Matcham, of this city. to assist them in
securing funds on their property TOR the
payment OF debts. They were advised
10 form corporation and to convey the
property TO such corporation in consid-
Grafton of stock to be issued to Thomp.
son and GALES. This corporation was
organized Nov. %, 1890. under the name
or the Standard Cold Mining and Mill
ing company, the incorporators being
the gentlemen mentioned above. The
capital stock was S2.00J,000, and LOCO
of SO each par value.
The complaint alleges that the de-
PENDANTS, by q combination, COLLISION,
conspiracy and fraud, defrauded Moses
Thompson out of bis property and are
now wrongtully possessed of his three
fOurthS interest in the property, worth
100000. The complaint further alleges
that the only consideration received by
Thompson therefore is the reduction
of the late partnership debt in the
amount of $4,000 and the sum of 81, 200. 20
received from the Century Investment
company. $1,000 of which went into the
| development of the property owned by
the mining company. hummer Il Malt
man and Ii. L. helm, of Chicago. are

The cheap and irresponsible dailies

GLOBE detective bureau is the only in

termined to give up all further pursuit

called by his superiors. One of these
papers took it all back in an evening
edition last night. Sheriff Eye was
indignant ut the report he had quit the
game,
Gentle James would never quit the
trail of a criminal so long as there was

stated yesterday that lie had no inten-

ceived no word from Grygla. His

POOL ROOMS MUST GO.
HOLT DECIDES F0.3 TIE AYTI-FO0L
ROOM ORDINANCE.
TIE LAW rs A VALID ONE.

Conductor John Sullivan Dies of
Injuries Received at Merriam
Junction-An Important Mine
Owning Case-The Two High
waymen Identified by Reed,
the Victim.
The pool rooms of Minneapolis must
go. Their fate was adversely decided
by Judge Holt IN the municipal court
yesterday morning when the court de-
clared the anti-pool room ordinance
valid, and denied The motion of defend
ants attorney to dismiss. The court
upholds the complainant, and its denial
is based on a number of supreme court
decisions on the subject of gambling.
Judge Holt, in the decision filed, cites
the case Of the State against the Mu-
mcIpal Court of st. Paul, 81 Num-. 329,
THAT the city's charter gives it the
power to restrain and prohibit gambling
of all descriptions"
The action was brought OH test case
furnished by Gilbert o. Hastings, his
motion 10 dismiss being put Oil the
grounds that the complaint did not
allege sufficient facts to constitute an
otfrnse. Referring to the power dele
gated to the council by the charter for
the prohibition of gambling, Judge
Holt says:
ut is conteided that this means
gambling as defined by the penal code
only. and that the otfense aimed at by
the ordinance is not such gambling.
Assuming that the otfense here CON-
planned of does not come under the
provisions of the penal code, l never
theless am of the opinion that the ordi-
nance is valid.
