The House to Dispose of the Contest
To-day.


To-day.
Washington, June 3.-The somewhat no.
ted contested election case of Murphy VS..
Elliott, from the Charleston, S. c.. dis
trict. was the principal matter before the
House to-day. Elliott's election from that
district has been contested three times
in the Fiftieth Ffty-first and Fifty
fourth congresses. The contestant in this
case was elected to the Fifty-third con-
gress. The majority report of the com
mittee in charge of the case recommended
the seating of the contestant, and was
advocated by Mr.. Overstreet, rep, of In
diana. The minority found that Elliott
was entitled TO retain his seat and their
view was urged upon the House by Mr.
posing of the case the House at $3.50
o'clock adjourned A vote will be taken
the first thing tomorrow
Quite a contest preceded the cOnsidera-
ton of the election case over the appro-
priation in the general deficiency bill to
pay the amounts to victims of the Ford S
theater disaster recommended by the con-
greSsiOnal committee which investigated
the claims. They were added in the Sea-
ate and Mr.. Sayres, dem, of Texas, NOV
ed to strike out the names of several ben
eficiares, the deaths of whose principals
were asserted not to be due to the disas-
ter. or who had not been injured in it,
according to the report by the board of
war department officers who investigated
the matter.
The motion was warmly advocated by
Messrs. Sayers and Cannon of Illinois, and
opposed by Messrs. Henderson and Upde-
the committee making the awards. By a
vote of 1913 to SO the House agreed to the
motion, and these claims, if the Senate
agree, will go back to the committee.

SOME LEAP YEAR LAWS.
An Act of the Scottish Parliament
Passed More Than 600 Years Ago.

From the Philadelphia Examiner
Probably few spinsters who have been
trying to gather up enough courage to
take advantage of their customary prlvi-
leges during leap year are aware that in
two countries a least and more than 600
years ago, laws were passed which gave
women the right OF proposing marriage.
| These enactments were even further than
this They also stipulated that If she
man whose hand they sought should re-
fuse, he should incur a heavy fine.
A searcher among the ancient records
of Scotland has recently discovered ar
act of the Scottish parliament, which was
passed in the year 1888, which runs as

rein of his maist blissit Begeste ilk for

A year or two later a law almost SINH
lar to the Scottish enactment was passed
in France, and received the approval OF
the king. 1t is also said that before Co.
lumbus sailed on his famous voyage to the
westward a similar privilege was granted
to the maidens Of Genoa and Florence.
There is no record eXtant of any fines
imDosed under the conditions OF This
garding the number of spinsters who took
regulations in France, but the custom
seems to have taken firm hold upon the
popular mind about that time. The next
mention of it is dated nearly 400 years
later and it is a curious little treatise
called Love, Courtship and Matrimony,"
which was published in London in 1903
In this quaint work the privilege" is
thus alluded to:
albeit it now becomes a part of the
common law in regard to social relations
of life, that, as often as every leap yeare
doth return, the ladyes have the sole
privilege during the time it continueth OF
making love either by wordes or lookes
as to them 1t seemeth proper, and, more
over, no man will be entitled to benefit
of clergy who doth in any wise treat her

of the unwritten laws Of leap year that
