VIII Be the Pockets of Senator
Frye Of Maine,
If Pacific Coast HarbOr Amend
ment Prevails,
SAYS "a COAST PAPER.
Telegrams From Santa Fe Fall
Like Snow Flakes
On Senators During Last Ten
Days Debate.

Washington May 12.-In the senate
Mr.. Canery said he did not consider
the connection Of Mr.. Huntington with
the Santa Monica harbor project as
prejudieial to it, but he did consider
that the representations of the two
California senators, the army en-
gineers, local commercial bodies, etc.
should be conclusive as between the
two points.
Mr.. Frye, chairman Of the committee
on commerce, next spoke. He had two
pages raise a huge map in the front
area just before the presiding officer
desk. which led Vice President Steven
son to remark. The presiding officer
has some difficulty in recognizing the
Senator from Maine"
Mr. Frye spoke OF the mistakes made
by the army boards in reporting on the
deep water harbOr.
They had overlooked the exposure of
san Pedro the terrific southwest gales
which would sweep over the leveled
tracks as a woman would sweep cut
with her broom. Referring to Santa
Monica, the senator said the proposed
amendment gave other roads than the
Southern Pacific ample rights
Mr. Huntington had Ouered to build
them their tracks at $40 900 a mile Why
was IL, then, he asked, that the tele-
grams from the Santa Fe road had
fallen like snOwhakes on senators for
the last ten days.
Was it the old fight between the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe2
They made that fight once and they
went into bankruptcy Mr.. Frye said
he happened TO have had a little ex-
perience ia this line, having been q
small stockhOlder and only few
months ago he had paid an assessment
on it.
The senator referred to the loose
statement of bribery. He would rather
have the Kindly feeling and respect of
senators than to own all the railroads
ia the world. One Pacific coast paper
had stated. he said. that if this amend
ment prevailed his pockets would be
lined with gold" With a gesture OF
intense depreciation, Mr. Frye said that
since his mother had put a pocket in
his first pantaloOns they were lined
with just enough gold and no more
than the needs of the moment required
Another issue had crept into this case,
he said. which was gravely unjust
He referred to the statements made
by Senators White and Berry concern
ing Mr. Huntington. Pausing midway
ia the middle aisle, Mr.. Frye exclaimed.
This saVOrs of the slogan of the sand
lots of the Golden Gate. where the
name of Huntington is conjured to
brighten babies with and used by dem
agOgues to make Weak-kneed politi-
clans tremble.

Washington, May 12.-The figures
showing the great disparity between

Senator PETER cOntended that his bill

Senator Morrill,. chairman of the

him and said.
"Cf course the senator from Kansas

point that our people make fla shis

there is not this apparent and real

Cleveland, May 12-The high tenn

mosphere both operated to prevent a
burst of oratory at the Methodist Epis-
copal General conference and the rOu-
tine business transacted was disposed
of with as little effort as possible. The
most important question disposed Of,
was the fixing of the time for the cleo

Resolutions were presented favoring

appropriate committees. without &C
ton.
At a meeting of the committee on
episcOpacy. a subcommittee reported
that it had examined the law bearing
on foreign episcOpates and has reach
ed the conclusion there was nothing to
prevent foreign bishops The question
of whether the church should exercise
jurisdiction outside the United states
was warmly debated all the afternoon
and laid over until the next meeting
The subcommittee recommended
bishop for Europe In response to a
previous request, the bishops reported
that they We're in good health and
capable of continuing in the discharge
of their duties. but that in view of the
growth of the church and possible con-
tingencies, the election Of two more
bishops was desirable.
The committee on itineracy consid-
cred the proposed change in discipline
Two Of the questions asked of an as
pirant for ministerial appointment both
before and at the close of his probation
are. win you promise to abstain en-
tirely from tobacco and Are you in
debt2" The bishops proposed to omit
these questions from the final eXami-
nation and allow the first promises to
stand. There was a long debate over
this in committee but the recommended
ton of the bishops was finally sustain
ed on the vote. The committee on re-
vision of the constitution decided
against shortening the time of prOba-
ton, which is six months.
The committee on state of the church
recommended the appointment of one
evangelist or more in each district con
ference for revival work.

Senator Quay got fla with a question
saying
rs there anything in the laws Of
Kansas to prevent the prosecution and
conviction Of a man who has paid the
United States tax for the sale Of liz
Mr.. Peffer-No: there IS no protec-
ton of that kind, but he knows he is
relieved from prosecution by the Uni
ted States authorities for selling. He
has the advantage IN his FAVOR 10 say
the least; and it is a good deal.
AIR Allison-But the senator from
Kansas must know that the fact that
a man has paid a tax and a receipt can
be produced is prlma tac1e evidence IN
Kansas and other states Of the viola
ton Of the state laws, and therefore it
furnishes additional testimony in the
states to the people who want to en-
force the law.

THE CHIEF SELLS A HORSE
Struck a Bear Market and Let Him
Go for rs Cents.


It was Chief GARDENERS painful duty
to sell a horse at public auction yes
terday afternoon
About two weeks ago officer Henry
Bernard picked the horse up in the
TenneSseetOWn neighbOrhOOd-
He ought to have had more sense, p"
said the chief yesterday as he looked at
the horse
But there was no lodging it. A feed
bill of $3.50 was already charged up
to the city on the animal and some ef-
fort must be made to get even.
The horse didn't look very saleable
as officer Bundy led him up seventh
street to Quincy. He looked more like
a Roentgen ray shadOwgrapn than
anything else, and although he was Of
fered to one Of Mr.. Bakers street car
drivers at a bargain there was no sale
The fire department wouldn't have
him, and two or three special officers
who hadn't anything else to do just
then were sent out along Kansas ave
nue. to rustic UP some buyers
The sale began at Sixth and Quincy
streets. 1t was the chiefs debut as
an orator and he was nervous. But
he couldn't hire an auctioneer for fear
he wouldn't sell the horse for enough
to pay the commission.
How much do I hear2 How much
do I hear2" he wanted to know, but ne
didn't hear anything.
"Gentlest horse on earth" said the
chief, family broke and wouldn't run
away Guaranteed not to be over forty
years old or money refunded at the
door"
The horse certainly looked gentle
enough as he stood there on his left
hind foot and his right fore foot with
his eyes closed, dreamily listening to
the CHIEFS musical voice.
A reporter who was present offered
five cents. It hadn't occurred to him
where he would get the five cents. but
he intended to use the horse to strike
matches on.
What do I hear. what do I hear?''
asked the chief for several minutes,
and it began to look as though the five
cent bidder would get the animal
A man who owns a mattress factory
rubbed a handful of the hair off the
horse and bid 80 cents
Forty cents If the halter goes with
him." said another.
