Fort SCOTT, Kan, March i1.-At 9
o'clock last evening, as the pastor of
the Second United Brethren church of
this city dismissed a congregation who
attended his revival meeting, one of
the large oil lamps fell on Miss Addie
Lorton, young lady 19 years old.
The bottom of the lamp bowl had
burned through, and the oil fell on
her face and chest and was ignited by
the burning wick. Before the people
near her could smother the flames her
clothing was burned and her face and
neck and chest were roasted. The in
jury is SESly to prove fatal.

A FIGHT ON POSTAL SUBSIDIES
The House Spends a Day on the Post
Office Appropriation Bill.

The House Spends a Day on the Post
Office Appropriation Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE House
witnessed the perennial attempt to cut
off the appropriation for special mail
facilities between Boston, via New
York and Washington, to Atlanta and
New Orleans. This appropriation has
been carried in the postoffice bill since
1879. This year it amounted to $780,,
600, and coupled with it were appro-
priations for special facilities between
Kansas City and Newton, Kan, and
Chicago and Council Bluffs, Iowa.
The latter items, however, went down
before points of order. An attempt
subsidy, also on a point of order, but
Mr. Payne of New York overruled the
point. The motion to strike out was
defeated-93 to 116. The postoffice
bill was not disposed of.
During the morning hour a bill was
passed making years continuous
residence in a Territory a prerequi-
site to obtaining a divorce in such
Territory. This bill was offered by
Mr.. Gilbert, Republican of Massa-
chusetts. The bill was aimed at
Oklahoma Territory, where but ninety
days residence is required. "As a
result" said a report on the bill,
ceases are not Investigated as their
Importance demands. Scandal and
immortality result. The bill will
abolish these temporary divorce col
Onies and establish in the Territories

all the States"

A Doub1e-Headed Convention.

GAINESVILLE, Ga, March 1.-The
Republicans of the Ninth Csngression-
al district had an exciting circus here
yesterday. The two factions engaged
in d fight, the whites on one
side, and the blacks, with sprink-
ling of whites, on the other. The
convention ran with two chairmen,
two secretaries and two committees
on credentials. Two speakers were
frequently on the floor at the same
time, and everything was in state
of confusion. The convention broke
up without expressing any preference
for presidential candidates.

is Too Rash.
HOAR AND SHERMAN

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE crowds
which filed the Senate galleries yes
ter1ay in anticipation of an exciting
Cuban debate were not disappointed.
Two new phases of the subject made
their appearance and each afforded
debate which aroused Senators and
spectators to a high state of interest
and excitement
Mr.. Lodge, Republican, of Massa-
chusetts arose to question of personal
privilege and in vigorous words re-
buked the Spanish minister, Senior
Depuy DeLome, for his recent criti-
cisms of Senators. Senator Teller
added his opinion that repetition of
the minister's action should be fol-
lowed by his dismissal. Senators
Gray and Hale maintained that Sena-
torial privilege and prerogative should
not be strained to close the mouth of
the Spanish minister. Mr.. Lodge did
not press for any definite action,
The incident was hardly closed
when the subject came up in another
form. Mr.. Hoar had asked that his
resolution, postponing the entire
Cuban subject until April +, go over
until to-day. This aroused Mr.. Sher-
man to an energetic and feeling pro-
test. He declared that Mr.. Hoar's
resolution was a reflection on the
| committee on foreign relations and
was an effort to shelve the Cuban
resolutions after weeks of discussion
and overwhelming votes in both
Houses The two venerable Senators.
Sherman and Hoar, engaged in u Wig
Orous colloquy.
Mr.. Morgan and other senators were
drawn into the personal conflict and
for half an hour it waged, sometimes
with deep earnestneSs, but more OFTEN
| with amusement caused by the energy
| of the white haired participants. Mr..
Sherman finally withdrew his objec-
ton andS Mr.. Hoars resolution went
over'u ntil to-day, but not before Mr..
Hoar had made brief but telling
speech against what he termed the
meddling policy of Congress in foreign
| questions.
The Dupont contest was then taken
up and Mr.. Turpie, Democrat. of In
diana resumed his speech against the
claims of Mr.. Dupont to- seat in the
Senate. Mr.. Turpie had not concluded
when, at 4,35, the Senate went into
executive session and soon after ad-
| journed.

Theatrical syndicates are all the rage

large number. I do not know whether
this latest proposed syndicate is ''all on

right manner, with the right men at the
head of it and sufficient capital to tide
over the few necessarily dull months at
the beginning, it ought to succeed. There

WASHINGTON, March 11--Senator
Chandler, from the committee on priv
ileges and elections, presented to the
Senate the views of the majority OF
the committee, consisting of the Re-
publican members, recommending the
adoption of Senator Aliens resolution
providing for an investigation OF the
Alabama state and legislative election
of 1924.
The report gives in detail the par
ticulars concerning the organization
of the Kolb legislature and the cleo
ton by it of Mr. w. S. Reese as United
States Senator to hold the seat occu-
pied by Senator Morgan.
The committee says that the investl-
CATION should be made and the facts
made known. If the charges are well
founded, the report says, it may be the
duty of the United States Senate to
GUST Mr.. Morgan from his seat The
committee takes the position that
there can be no doubt of the right OF

New xork,s New LIQUOR Law.

ALBANY, n. Y, March 1.-THE
Senate voted closure in the Raines ex-
else bill "a to "A. The bill was put on
its passage and adopted 81 to Is. Ac-
cording to Senator Raines, the effects
of the bill will be to prevent corrup-
ton in excise boards, to stamp out
low gin shops, and to greatly reduce
Sunday selling and other violations of
law by saloonkeepers. Although he
expects the number of drinking
places to be reduced from twenty five
to forty per cent, he holds that the in
crease in the license fee will prevent
loss of revenue.
