WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The house
devoted most of the session today to
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill, but had not completed it at the
time of adjournment. Some politics
We're injected into the debate just at
the close, the feature of which was q
bitter denunciation of w. A. Stone, of
Pennsylvania, by Mr. Mahany Rep., n.
", for the formers position in favor
of the immigration bill. Mr.. Stone did
not see fit to reply. Before the district
bill was taken up several bills and
resolutions of minor Importance were
passed. The civil service refOrmers
won slight victory, when Mr.. Per
k1nS Qo) presented a resolution for
printing the hearings before the civil
service committee. Mr.. Grosvenor an
tagonized the resolution. Mr.. Perkins,
however, refused to withdraw the reso-
luton until the house by a vote of So to
80 had refused the previous question.
He then yielded.
At 12:30 the house went into commit
tee of the whole and resumed cOnSid

New Jersey as the home Of the trusts.
Mr. Dingley in reply declared that
the Maine papers were full of evidences
of the improvement in the lumber in
dustry. The clipping quoted was the
exception. 1t was, he said, another
proof that the gentleman on the other

Mr.. Pitney Rep., N. j. defended his
state. He declared that New Jersey

GAVE UP THE LITTLE HOARD.
Two Masked Robbers Compel Mrs.
VnnderVere to Pass Over
SlGO.

The most desperate robbery that has
been committed in this city for years
was perpetrated by two masked men
Monday evening at the residence of
Elmer VanderVere, 1914 Twenty eighth
avenue south. The sum of $3.50 was
taken, and the police authorities have
no clue to the robbers.
The act was a bold one, in view Of
the fact that it was committed at an
early hour. Mr.. Vandervere, who is
employed as a scaler by j. w. Day Il
Co., had not as yet returned from work.
Mrs. Vandervere was alone, and busy
preparing the evening meal. She heard
footsteps on the outside, and supposing
they were those of her husband, paid
no attention to them, other than 10
hurry in her arrangement of the meal
Then the door opened and Immediately
closed. Two masked men stood before
her, and a revolver met her gaze. One
Of the men Immediately made their
mission known, and commanded her to
hand over what money there was in
the house.
Mrs Vandervere was thoroughly
frightened and unable to move. She
pointed in a wild fashion to the bureau.
The robbers needed no second direc-
ton, but made a hasty search and in u
lower drawer found a small bundle,
which contained the money. Then with
a caution not to make any noise or say
anything about it. the two men left
the house. For several minutes Mrs.
VanderVere sat on the bed, still very
much frightened. She was aroused to
her senses by the crying Of the baby,
which, during all this time, had sat on
the floor gazing at the strangers in q
bewildered manner.
The mother picked up her child and
went to a rear window through which
she saw the two men in company with
a third, who had evidently been keep
ing guard on the outside, walking away
down the street.
When Mr.. VanderVere returned home
he was informed of the state of affairs
and he at once went up town and mott
fled the officers at headquarters. Two
of the city detectives went to work on
the case.
The money which was taken was
part of an inheritance. The rest had
been spent in furnishing the home and
, paying doctors bills for the children
of whom there are seven. About two
months ago Mrs. VanderVere was
frightened by some strangers hanging
around the house. She told her hus-
band, who advised that the money be
separated into small lots and bidder
about the house. He was afraid OF
banks, although his wife at various
times advised that it be deposited II
some bank. The money was thus dis
tributed about the house. Last Sunday
however, Mrs. Vandervere happened t;
think that in case of fire she would
not be able to gather it all up in TIM
to save, and so again placed it in on
lump in the bureau drawer. She nov
regrets that she happened to think o

CHRIST CHURCH RETREAT.
About Fifty Women Participated in
the Annual Service.

About fifty women were present at the
retreat conducted by Archdeacon Gilfllan, of
the White Earth reservation at Christ church
yesterday.
Mr. Gilfllan urged his hearers to live
wholly for Christ. The spirit of the world
was hostile to religious life. Church enter
tainments were foreign to true Christian
service.
1.-The world he said will say, we will
go to your entertainments; we will help you
to build your churches But the world shou d
not be listened to. Christians may not make
short excursions beyond the line laid down
by Christ as a rule for his service. 1t is

desert my Masters cause for while and go
over to serve the other side; he will not
know and l can soon return TO His serv-

MO THIRD TRIAL E0R NUM-.
Believed That the Case VIII Be
Dropped.

The third trial of A. H. Num- will proba-
ably never occur. A few days ago several
of the judges of the district court,
of Hennepin county, held an Informal
conference upon the matter, and it Is
said that the general sentiment expressed at
the meeting was that in view of the failures
which have thus far attended the prosecution
of the case, it was inadvisable to put the coun-
ty to the expense of another trial.
OF course the entire disposition of the mat
ter rests with County Attorney Peterson, and
no such action will be taken unless initiated
by him.
Several Of the judges when seen yesterday
refused to make any statement in the mat
ter beyond admitting that the subject was be-
fore them for consideration. Still the infor-
nation is from such reliable source that 1t
can scarcely be doubted.
