KICKS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Resolution Adopted by the House
New Militia Bill Reported.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SIN the House
to-day Mr.. Myers, from the committee on
militia. called up a bill to promote the
efficiency OF the militia. 1t provided for an
elaborate system of national defense, in
Guiding in the militia all able-bodied citi-
zens of the United States between the
ages of eighteen and forty-five, the or
ganized militia TO be known as the Ma
tional Guard and the unorganized as the
Reserve Militia. The morning hour ex-
pired without action on the bill.
Mr.. Bailey, from the committee on
judiciary. as a matter of privilege pre-
scented a resolution providing for an in
vestigation by that committee of the
charges against Augustus ]. Kicks. United
States judge of the District Court of
northern Ohio.
Mr.. Grosvenor criticised this resolution
for an Investigation as a piece of indecent
haste. No notice had been given Judge
Kicks by the committee, he said. He sub
mitted that a Judge of the District Court
of the United States should be treated with
as much Difference as a man charged with
being drunk and disorderly in a police
court.
Mr.. Bailey in reply said if Mr.. Grosvenor
was a friend of Judge Kicks he would
want the charges investigated Immediately.
If there was a faint on Judge Ricks's
judicial ermine 1t should be removed or he
should be removed. The resolution was
agreed TO without division.
On motion of Mr.. Mccain a resolution
instructing the Commissioner of Labor to
investigate the effects of machinery on la
Dor, wages, ETC., was agreed to.
Among the bills laid aside with favorable
recommendation in committee of the whole
were bills appropriating $4,000 for a build
ing at South Omaha, Neb., and 800, 900 for
a building at Pottsville, Pa. !
The fight of the day came on the bill
approDriating $1,000. 600 for the erection OF
a public building at Chicago on the pres
ent site. Mr.. Dockery made a point of or
der against the appropriation, and on Mr..
Blacks motion it was stricken out.
Mr.. Black then. after a brief statement
of the urgent necessity for a building at
Chicago, moved that the bill be laid aside
with a favorable recommendation, and it
carried-141 to 2.
Mr.. Jones made the point of no quorum.
a call of the roll disclosed the lack of a
quorum. Mr.. Maddox moved to adjourn.
This was resisted by the friends of the
Chicago building and defeated-i9 to SO. Mr..
Bankhead moved q call of the House. The
next call developed the lack of a quorum,
and at $40 p. m. the House adjourned.

Democrats OF Color Urged to Attend
the Indianapolis Convention

WASHINGTON Aug. 8.-Robert G.. Still,
as chief Of the American bureau Of organ
ization of the Democratic congressional
committee, has issued an address to the
Democrats of color of the United States.
The address says in part:
THE National Negro Democratic League
will convene in Indianapolis, Ind, on the
14th inst. 1t is hoped that negro Democrats
from every State and Territory will be rep
resented to evidence by their presence and
voice their loyalty to the politics and prin-
ciples of the administration. At no time in
the history of the negro Democratic party
has there been greater necessity for coun-
selling together to determine the future
cause and policy of the negro in America.
1t is a matter of congratulation to note the
answering fealty shown TO the Demo-
cratic party by our people in Alabama in
the recent election. Possibly for the first
time was the negro vote directly appealed
TO. and its response was evidenced by a re-
turn of large Democratic majorities in every
negro county in the State. This open APP
peal to the negro is and shall be especially
gratifying to you and the negroes gener-
