GrinneIl. Iowa, Dec. lS.--The private

Herzog has been arrested at Toledo

crooks who have beer operating along

operations extended over a large por-
ton of Iowa. Some time ago Herzog
was arrested at MaTshalltown. where
he had been under surveillance for
some time by the marshal and Tama
county officials. The charge against
him vas that OF receiving stolen goods.
The grand jury quashed this particular
charge, when he was Immediately ar
rested again for being concerned in
the larger criminal scheme. The de-
tectives are of the opinion that Muir

burglars recently sent up, were men,

to have supplied these men with
money while in jail.

FIRE AND
Iowa Man Accused of wrecking
Threshing Machines.

Grirnell, Iowa, Dec. 1S.-One Of the
most remarkable cases on record is
being tried in the district court at
Belle Plaine. 1t is called the case of
the State against William Peterson,
charged with maliciously destroying
property belonging to Tharp G. Pitts.
The latter ran several thIeshing out
fits in Benton county. and in some
way, ii is said. incurred the enmity Of
Peterson. Soon after this Tharp &
Pitts lost one of their machines by
fire, burned while standing alone in
the field. A second machine was Don
after destroyed in a more sensational
manner. A stick of dynamite was
concealed in a bundle of grain and
was fed into the machine. The ex-
plosion wrecked the machine and the
men had a narrow escape with their
lives. a third attempt was made by
putting stones in bundles of grain.

In the House.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The house de-
cided that express companies must
pay the tax Of / cent on each express
receipt. This provision was contained
in an amendment offered by H.. C.
Smith OF Michigan and 1t was adopted.
The vote was 122 to 106.
After the general debate on the bill
had been closed the bill was read for
amendment under the five-minute
rule. Mr.. II. c. Smith, in offering his
amendment to require a tax of ! cent
upon express receipts, with a provision
designed to compel the express com
panies to pay the tax, charged that the
express and the telegraph companies
had been unpatriotic in refusing to
bear their share of the war taxes by
compelling their customers to pay the
tax. He made a direct reference to a
senator of the United States who is
connected with one of the express
companies, and declared that when
the law was passed that senator had
advised the company not to a the
tax.
The house also fixed the tax on beer
at $3.50 per barrel. A determined eff
tort was mace 10 secure Il sun great
er reduction. but the way and means
committee overwhelmed h opposition.
Only about half the war revenue re-
duction bill was completed.
In the Senate.
Throughout nearly the entire legis'
lative day the senate was in secret
session discussing the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. No business of impor-
lance was transacted in the brief open
session except the adoption OF the
house resolution providing for a holi-
day recess to extend from Friday, Dec,
81, to Thursday. Jan. 3.

Some months ago a government PEN
sioner died in Ireland. His widow
sent in a bill for funeral expenses
amounting to ss2.67. The government
auditor found some flaw in the bill,
declined to 20. X" it and ordered an
investigation. The red tape and Incl
dental expenses OF the investigation
cost something like $4,000, but the wild
owls bill has finally been thrown out.
The government is out more than ST.

be something to keep the clerks busy.

In the House.
In the House..

Washington, Dec. 12.-The debate on
the war revenue reduction Dill opened
in the house. Mr.. Payne of New
York, chairman of the ways and means
committee, spoke on behalf of the ma
joritv inc Mr.. Swanson of Virginia on
behalf of the minority. The house ad-
journed early to permit the hall to be
decorated for the exercises il connec-
ton with the centennial celebration to-
day. Before the war revenue reduction
bill was taken up a resolution was
adopted for the appointment Of a spe-
cial committee of five members to in
vestigate the death of Oscar L. Boose
Of Bristol, Pa, who died recently, it is
alleged as a result of hazing received
while a cadet at West Point. This
course was taken over the head of the
military committee which reported in
favor of allowing the war depart
ment to conduct the inquiry.
In the Senate.
The first speech in opposition to the
ship subsidy bill was delivered yes
terday by Mr.. Clay of Georgia, one Of
h minority members of the commit
tee on commerce, which reported IL to
the senate. He is recognized as one of
the most vigorous opponents Of the
bill In the senate, and during nearly
two hours was accorded close atten-
ton by senators on both sides of the
chamber. Mr.. Hanna, who expects to
reply to Mr.. Clay's argument, gave
him a particularly attentive hearing.
In the early part Of the session a
lively colloquy was precipitated yer
the reference to committee of the
Grout oleomargarine bill, Just passed
by the house of representatives. 1t
finally went to the committee on agri-
culture. This was a victory for the
friends of the bill. There vas also a
sharp debate over the Montana sem
atorial case, but no action was taken,
the matter by consent going over tenn
porarily. To-day no business session
of the senate will be held as the day
will be devoted to the celebration of
the centennial of the establishment of
the seat OF government in Washing
ton. An order presented by Mr.. Cock
rell Of Missouri was ratified by the
senate directing that the vacancies on
the committees of the District of CO.
lumbia, geological survey, Indian af-
fairs, mines and mining, Pacific ISL
ands, territories and railroads be filled
by the appointment of Senator Towne
of Minnesota. The resolution offered
Monday by Mr.. Hanna for the appoint
ment by the president pro TEN of a
committee OF three senators to make
the necessary arrangements for the
inauguration of the president of the
United States on March 4 was adopted
without debate.
