TELLER TALKS.
Says He Will See That the
Present Congress
Shall Indulge in No Hasty or
Weak Legislation.
GOV. KOLB'S SENATOR
Presents His Certificate of Elec-
ton from Alabama.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The financial
question again came before the sem
ate yesterday as an incident to the
consideration of the pending District
OF Columbia appropriation bill, and
Mr.. Teller made an effective speech
to give the suggestive warning that
he would see to it, SO far as the pres
emit session of congress was con-
cerned, there should be no hasty OF
weak legislation on the lines now
proposed. In view of Mr.. Teller's
recognized position as an authority
among the element favorable to
silver, the statement was regarded as
having an important bearing on the
situation. Mr.. Teller's speech was also
noticeable in pointing out that a con-
stitutional provision existed against
the plan suggested by Mr.. German of
adding a financial measure to one of
the appropriation bills. Mr.. German
explained he had not intended to say
comprehensive revenue legislation
could be added to an appropria ton
bill.
Most of the day was given to the
consideration of the District of Col
umbia appropriation bill without
completing it.
ing all the external evidence of the
credentials of United States sena-
tor were presented by Mr.. Allen on
the opening of the senate. Mr.. Allen
announced that they were the Gre
dentials of Warren S. Reese of Ala
bama for the senatorial term. be-
ginning March next. AS the
credentials of Mr.. Morgan of
Alabama for the same term had
already been received, there was some
surprise and the clerk was directed
to read the new credentials. They
were of the usual form, style. and
closed thus: ''Witness his excellen-
cy, our governor, R. f. Kolb. and our
seal hereunto affixed at Montgomery,
Ala, this sth day of December, etc.
(Signed) R. F. Kolb, governor; J. G..

Reese credentials were allowed to lie
on the ia bic at present.
In the house an hour was devoted
to debate on the Pacific road bill, a
resolution was adopted calling on the
president for all correspond ence and

representatives of the British govern
ment and the remainder of the day
was consumed by the District of

A MAD PREACHER.
He Murders His Wife and Little
Daughter,
And Then Shoots Himself
Through the Head.
MARRIED BUT A WEEK.
But They Quarreled Over Money
Matters.

AURORA, Mo-, Feb. 2.-Rev. Bud
Ellis, pastor of the Methodist church
at Clay Hill, four miles south of this
city, shot and killed his wife, little
7-year-old daughter and himself at 9
o'clock yesterday morning, at his res

about trade he was going to make
to-day, when he pulled a revolver
from his pocket. He shot his wife
twice, in the neck and body. The bed
showed signs of terrible struggle.
After the dastardly deed he wiped
the blood from his hands on the bed
clothing. He then caught his little
daughter and shot her three times,
one ball entering her eye, another
going through her forehead and the
other pene trating her neck, each
making ugly, gaping wounds.
His revolver was now un1oaded, and
standing over the dead body of his
child, he removed the empty shells on
the body, reloading his pistol. Wash
ing his hands, he started on foot to
three miles distant. meeting several
neighbors on the way and speaking
to them pleasantly as if nothing had
happened.
Arriving at his brothers residence,
and after speakidg to him, he went
into bed room. Placing the pistol
to his breast he fred, the ball pene-
trating his heart and killing him in
stantly.
A letter was found in his pocket d'i-
reeted to his brother, saying: ''Me
and Ellen are dead"
He had made will two weeks ago,
leaving all his property to his two
children by his first wife. The wife
he killed he had been married to
only one week.

FOR UNIVERSITY REFORMS
A Comprehensive Bill Before the Mis-
souri, Legislature.

A Comprehensive Bill Before the Mis-
souri, Legislature.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 2.-The
most comprehensive bill of the pres
ent session relating to the state uni
versity is that prepared by Major
John Z. Bittinger of ST Joseph at the
instance of the board of curators and
presented to-day. It seeks to revise
the entire law governing the uni
versity and is as nearly complete as
the united talent of its friends can
devise. Every friend of the univer-
sity in both houses will support it and
with this assurance should become a
law.
An important provision is that re-
curing that not more than five
curators shall belong to the same
political party, provided that the
governor shall have power to re-
appoint for meritorious service, irres-
pective of party, any member of the
present board. AS vacancies occur
by death or resignation, he shall so
appoint as to attain as soon as posi-
bic the object contemplated in the
law. This section deprives the Wood
ward rider to the senate bill of any
force or effect.

GLADSTONE's IDEAS.
The Grand Old Man Quoted rs Favortns
Liberal Money Theories.

The Grand Old Man Quoted rs Eavortne
Liberal Money Theories.ss
LONDON, Feb. 2-Robert Even. the
noted financial writer, has attracted great
attention in his latest article by his re-
marks upon Mr.. Gladstone'a beliefs in
money matters. The question Mr.. Even
presses is, namely, Shall the currency of
the country be issued By banks or by the
government itself? and Mr.. Even is very
clear in his mind, and he says Mr.. Glad
stone is equally clear that the govern
ment should do the issuing. He opens
by attributing much of the blame for the
depressed condition of trade in England
and sthe frequent monetary disturb
ances, panics and scares" there to "the
antiquated and awkward working money
laws of England The banking act of
1914, he says destroys free banking and
established ''the monstrous Bank of
England monopoly" The change to O
gold basis, made in 1915, he attributes
to the desire of the tories after the defeat
of Napoleon, to throw the burdens in
ders on to the backs of the common peo-
ple." This change to gold bases, he
says, increased the national debt enorm-
ously, iniuriously contracted the currency
and spoiled trade. He cites the fact that
none of England's colonies have imi-
tated the Bank of England system as
evidence that the system is not as good
as it pretends to be, and urges that the
Bank of England be treated as an indie
pendent banking company instead of as
the sole government bank, and the issue
of notes be made by the government
itself through British national bank in
connection with the treasury. On this
point he writes as follows:
"a national bank could issue national
notes upon the security of the govern
ment, than which nothing could be bet
ter currency or circulating medium.
These notes would be legal tenders and
pass for ready money over all the three
Kingdoms rs freely as coin. Mr.. Glad
stone has frequently said he thought the
government should have the benefit of
the note circulation or the issue of illegal
tenders'
"If the treasury will take its banking
business into its own hands and issue ma
tional notes, as already proposed, for, say
e100, 100000, or such an amount as par
Lament may authorize, in denominations
of 10 shillings, 81, So, and upward, and
lay aside or cancel consols for the same,
these national notes would be far safer
and steadier circulating medium and
measure of value than the sovereign or
than gold bullion, which ductuates like
other metals"

MISSOURI SOLONS.
The Phipps Department Store Bill En-
crossed in the House.


crossed in the House.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. a.
Phipps' bill fixing a license tax of $50
upon each line of goods over two car
ried in department stores went to
engrossment by an undivided vote.
The entire afternoon in the house,
was consumed in the discussion of
the cigarette bill. It was a hard
fight, and at last the bill went to
engrossment somewhat amended.
It is made misdemeanor for any
one to sell or give cigar to any child
under the age of Is years. A second
section providing that any boy under
IL years old using tobacco or smoking
cigar or cigarette in any public
place, might be fined from So to $5 for
SO doing, was stricken from the bill.
The desire was to incorporate the
New York law into the statutes of
this state, but the defeat of the
second section eliminates the strong
est feature of that law from the en-
crossed bill.
Senator Pears introduced bill pro-
viding that the state librarian and
the reporter of the supreme court
give bond, and it fixes the amount of
the bond.
Senator Pears introduced bill Gre
ating the Office of building commits
sioner for the state university.
Some time ago the senate adopted
a resolution calling upon President
Jesse of the state university to fur
nish certain information, as regards
the number of teachers, professors,
and their salaries, in that institu ton.
President Jesse has not yet complied
with the request Senator Goody-
koontz introduced supplemental
resolution asking why the previous
resolution has not been answered by
information asked.
The senate has passed the Macon
road law by a unanimous vote. This
bill was recently defeated in the
house, but it was done without an
understanding of its provisions and
effect. Since then the bill has been
SO amended as to apply only to cities
of the third and fourth classes.
