Lively Fight-The House Refuses

Washington, Feb. M.-When the House
adjourned this Afternoon 1t had finished
the discussion in committee of the whole
on the general deficiency appropriation
BILL with the exception of one paragraph
providing for payment to the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company Three hours
debate will take place on that item Mon
day.
Most of the session was devoted to dis
cussing domestic affairs of the House
Washing its dirty linen" as one member
put it. An innocent appearing paragraph
appropriating some $4,000 to refund
amounts deducted from the salaries or
members for absence, brought about a
family row, and, after long discussion,
1t was retained, although many members
protested against it
Then the House knocked out Of the bill
on points of order, provision for the
payment of annual salaries to its special
employees on the ground that they were
provided for the session only. An attempt
TO secure a months extra pay. for all
employees of the House, practice ire
quently followed at the end of a session,
also met with failure
1t was just before adjournment that Mr..
Bartlett of New York managed to get in
defense of the United States supreme
court for it's decision in the income tax
case.
Mr.. NIcMillin, DEM, of Tennessee, who
had criticised Justice Shiras last week for
his part in declaring the income tax law
unconstitutional, made some remarks that
might have become sensational had they
continued. He spoke of Justice Shiras as
that indvidualp and said he was glad
he had got it through his thick hide at
last" The matter ended with an agree
ment between Mr.. Dalzell rep, of Penn
sylvania, and Mr. McMillin to discuss the
judicial conduct in the income tax case
pro and con at a future day; and the
House, at 6:22 O'Clock adjourned until
Monday, after deciding that time was too
precious at this period in the session to
keep Washington's birthday as holiday.

II has been found these are the best, and,

horses go right along in the snow. They
usually take a fast walk, but sometimes
they trot a little.
They get so accustomed to the snow

We tried for awhile making snowshoes

white metal and stuck to the steel, using
a thick rubber coating for the bottom.
