.COCkRELL HOPEFUL.
lie feels Sanguine the Income Tax
Provision viii Pass.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. q
Senator Cockrell, Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions, was at the Capitol to- day. He
said he would probably call the
committee together soon after the
reconvening of Congress and that the
urgent deficiency bill, which con-
tains the provision for an appropria-
ton to put the income tax into oper.
alton, would be taken up as soon as
practicable.
Mr. Cockrell is not apprehensive
as to the fate of this provision, and
while hs does not hope that it will
go through the Senate without some
opposition, be does not count upon
antagonism sufficient to materially
delay the passage of the bill. He
says that effectual opposition to the
appropriation OF money Tor The exc
cution OF any law would be most
exceptional, and he does not believe
that any considerable number of
Senators will engage in it, either in
committee Or in the Senate whatever
their convictions In regard to the
merits of the law itself may be.
Mr.. Cockrell says he thinks it
probable that the bill may be made
the basis of q few speeches in oppo-
sition when reported to the Senate,
but he does not count upon anything
like a flibuster against it.

Jno. Simpson: 81 think it is all
right to wear them
DR.. Frank Spence: "It's all right
in the girl wearing boomers if she
thinks So"
Coroner Ned Rodes; "I'm not
stuck on them.'s
John Arnold: 81 think other
costumes could be worn by the
young ladies for bicycle use much
more appropriate than the bloom
ers.' The split skirts, extending to
the ankle, are much less c%onspicu-
Gus and as little in the way of the
rider as the 'bloomers.'"
Riley Hall: Ladies' wearing
apparel is something I'm not very
familiar with"
OllieRouse day clerk at the Ringo,
said: II can see no special harm
in the costume, though it doesn't
look exactly proper"
Charley Criswell's eyes twinkled
at once upon being ''braced" and
replied: 81 think female bicylers
out of order. | have no special
objection to them wearing 'bloomers'
or even tights for that matter.
Whenever the young ladies of Mex
leo begin to wear fbloomers' they
should also put on the coats and
vests. I'll furnish the shirts and
collars"
Sam Locke, the bachelor Assist
ant Cashier of the Savings Bank,
who is authority on bicycle riding
and all that pertains to it, as we'll
as s cool headed admirer of the
feminine sex, answered the ques-
ton briefly: 81 want to see it
right away. I'm anxious to see
what they look like.
B. B. Tureman at first tried to
evade an answer, but being pressed
for a reply said: 81 am not an
advocate of bicycle riding by young
ladies at all. Probably, since the
loom and other machines of domes.
tic use are Yearly things of the past,
it is necessary for some muscle
strengthening machine to be used
by the ladies, but yet | don't like
it. l think, however, if they ride
bicycles they should have a special
costume as they do for other things,
and the sb~loeTners' are a good dress
for the business"
Otis Purdy; 81 think this is a
free country. If they put them on
let them go. Put side pockets in
them, and with hands in their
pockets let the girls stand up against
the piercing public gaze"
Elon bearing looked shy and
said: "Get out Get out! The
weather is fine, isn't it?" When
urged he made a side remark that
"Bloomers would have been the
things down at the lake last night.
The wind was very strong" said
the popular young jeweler, land
the girls skirt formed regular sails.
The girls could not we'll shift their
skirts or tackle the wind, so we

it much thought. I'll try to write

The Armenians, oppressed by
Kurds and Turks, said: We cannot

by the Kurds, they resisted them;
there were some killed. Orders were
sent to exterminate them. They
read: whoever spares man, woman

10000 Kurds also are said to have
been massed there. Then they adj
