BILL
For Free Homes, Will Come up
This v eek, Says Flynn.

Washington, February l4.--Delegate
Flynn, OF oklahoma, says the commit.
mittee on public lands has decided to
call mp the free homes bill in the house
this week. Mr.. Flynn and other mem.
bers of the committee, say the bills
chances are good, as members OF the
house who have heretofore opposed
the free homes project, have been won
over.
The chief objection to the bill is the
old cry that IL it is passed the govern
ment will give away what it might
sell for from 10 TO 25 million doilars.
This is on the theory that all the pub
lie domain, including arid lands, will
ultimately be sold.
There is, however, other opposition
TO the bill on grounds that the COM
mittee does not consider. There has
been strenuous opposition ty farmers
Of the eastern and middle states to
developing the arid lands of the far
west at government expense, TO pro-
duce new fields OF competition with an
already greatly depressed agriculture
in the east.
There has recently appeared another
source OF objection to the bill. This
comes from the friends OF agricultural
and mechanical colleges that receiv,
gunport from the sales Of nublic land,
under the Morril law. IL is certain
that the government cannot give
away these lands and at the sam,
time derive from the proceeds of theil

 Although R. K. Munkittrick has an envia- ble reputation as humorist, yet he is not the quickest man in the world to see joke when it Is played on himself MT. Gibson, one of the editors of Puck and also a prac- tical joker arranged for a special jest to be administered to Mr. Munkdttrick.
 He had provided a trick telephone which emitted a shower of flour when anybody spoke into it.
 When MT. Munkittrick arrived it was suddenly discovered that the paper had gone to press and that his copy was too late. There was only one chance, MT. Gibson said, and that was to telephone to the printer and tell him to stop the press until his matter should be set up and in- serted. He asked MT. Munlnittrick to go to the phone at once.
 Then the staff sat still and held their sides waiting for the explosion. Finally MT. Gibson rushed to the telephone and found his friend deluged with flour, but still persistently calling "Hello" through the phone
 He led him back and carefully expained the joke.
 When he finished, Munkittrick calmly re- marked:

THE TRAP DAMS
 THROWN OPEN The Waters Wended Their Way
 to the Gulf. GREAT CROWDS PRESENT After Much Difficulty Governor Tanner Was Finally Reached and Con scented to the Opening ot the
 Great Canal
GREAT CROWDS PRESENT

IIockport Ills, January 1.-The bear trap dams situated the drainage canal from the Desplaines river were lowered by the sanitary trustees at Il :16 o'clock today and 100000 cubic feet of water per minute rushed with roar into the Desplaines riv- CT on it's way to the Gulf of Mexico.
 The opening of the drainage canal today was the culmlnation of an all-night session by the board of trustees and canal com missioners of Joliet. A special train calr- ried the trustees and commissioners from Chicago to Joliet.
 After fruitess efforts to reach Governor Tanner at Springfield by telegraph, com munlcasor was secured by telephone, and a conference was held with the governor. At 10:3O this morning he telephoned per mission to open the canal at Lockport.
 The trustees and commissioners crowded together, and about 200 spectators gained other points of vantage.
 Col Isaac l.. Taylor, president of the ca. nal commissioners: .'This is the moment of one of the greatest engh Fiaz feats of moderan times. We have after investigation, that the sanitar mission has completed what Governt ner has granted permission to ope canal. I take this occasion to sta this is but just the commenceme If . greater effort which will connect the great lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. By permis- sion of Governor Tanner of the state of Illinois, I hereby authorize you to open the canal"
 The mighty lever that operates the e~canal was lifted and sheet of water shot down the canal to the Des Plaines river. Gradu- ally the dam was lowered and the sheet of water increased in depth.
 Three feet below the surface of the water the dam was stopped and 300,000 cubic feet of water went pouring into the Des Plaines river with roar.
 The water was of the green color and bore but the fainest trace of odor, scarce ly perceptible.
 Owing to the filling of the derrick which operates the anti-friction rollers of the several gates immediately in front of the dam it will probably take a day or two to repair the damage and then the gates will be opened and lowered, allowing the water to run through the gates to the Des Plaines

NEED CLEARLY POINTED OUT

The police commission has made formal application for an increased appropriation for the police department, and if fayorably acted upon by the city council ten new men will be added to the present small force.
 The need Of more officers has been time and again pointed out, and it Is believed that the city fathers will grant the appro- priation without further delay.
 The following communication, signed by every member of the police commission, was presented to the city council last night and was referred to the police and sanita- tion committees:

We are badly in need of this number of men. as with the pres ent force we cannot give to the citizens and their property the protection that they are entitled to.
 We have at the present time two men on First avenue in the business part of the city: two men on Second avenue, one man on Third avenue, and one man on Fourth avenue: one man at the depot; two men from the depot going south on Twentieth street and working east as far as Twenty second street and west as far as Eigh- Sfr In, ha itclri rfc of ha. nit we have two men working the eastern part of the city out to the limits, and north and south sides of the railroad, and only one man two hours and half of that time; two men in the western portion of the city from Eighteenth street to the limits on the west, and they work both north and south of the railroad, and only one man for two hours and a half of that time; and one man working Fourth avenue to the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham railroad tracks going both east and west.

RAILROAD MEN
 REGISTER A KICK Find It Difficult to Secure Suita-
 bIe Houses In the City. HAVE OTHER GRIEVANCES
Street Tax and High School Fees Tend to Work Against Birmingham In
 terest-Need of Small Cot tages Pointed Out

The recent agitation of the question Of the removal from the city of a number of railroad men, because of the proposed change dn the run of freight crews on the Louisville and Nashville system has de- veloped the fact that there is a sentiment among the employees themselves favorable to the change. because of certain conditions existing in this city.
 In the first place the contention is ad- vanced that good houses at reasonable rental are hard to secure, and that con ductors and engineers are compelled to go to Woodlawn. Ayondale and other suburbs in order to rent houses suitable to live in
 These men are subject to call at all hours of the day and night, and many of them are compelled ito put in telephones in order to be in communca tion with the office an expense that falls heavy upon them.
 It is claimed that the Southside districts where many railroad men formerly re- sided have become infested with negroes, making the property undesirable.
 Another sore point with railroad men is the High school fee and street tax, which ihave been the subject of much comment among- other classes.
 
 prominent conductor said:
 Conditions in Birmingham are unfavor- able to railroad men, inasmuch rents are high and houses in favorable locations are hard to obtain There is also a fee charged at the High school and street tax is inn posed, all of which work hardship upon many of the railroad employees. Personally l like Birmingham, and 1 believe that a large majority of the railroad people like the city, but I find strong sentiment prevalent among them favorable to the proposed change. There are some conduct ors and engineers who own property who of course object to the change.
 T believe that if the owner of the prop erty adjacent to the railroads and even back for several blocks would build small cottages and rent them exclusively to white people, they would be able to se- cure most desirable tenents among rail- road employees, who are now compelled to seek other locations.

MOTION TO RECONSIDER
Senator Moves to Bring Back the Sa.
 moan Treaty Ratification

Washington, January 17-In today's ex- ecutlve session of the senate Senator Jones of Arkansas moved to reconsider the vote by which the Samoan treaty was ratified. He based his motion upon a statement which he said he had seen in the press to the effect that~the American flag had al- ready been run up on the Island of Tutula
 If this report was true, he thought the senate should know of the fact and have an opportunity to deal with 1t in accord ance with the treaty.
 Senator Frye rephed that the report to which Senator Jones referred was without foundation.
 No action was taken on the motion, but it was decided bo recall the treaty, which lad been forwarded to the president with notice of the senates favorable action up- on it.
 The senate also received the favorable re- port from the committee on foreign rela- tions with the eNbradition treaties with Peru and Chili, the Bolivar treaty with Mexico and The Hague peace treaty.

A WINDOW BROKEN OPEN

Huntsville, January 17.-(Special)-A re- port comes from Courtland that Green Etheridge, a prominent politician and ex- sheriff of Lawrence county. has been ar rested on Ithe charge of entering the office of the circuit clerk and destroying a large batch of indictments.
 Etheridge was indicted by the grand jury on five charges of selling liquor without li- cense
 On Sunday morning last the clerk of the circuit court discovered that some ore had entered his office and stolen all of the in- dictments from his desk. A box of ashes setting under a window showed where the man had entered, as he had stepped in it.
 Suspicion pointed to Etheridge, and the officers found him at home with his shoes covered with ashes.
 The circuit clerk, having received an in timation that Etheridge intended to steal the indictments, took the indictments in his case away, and the papers destroyed by Etheridge were those of other parties.
 As a result of this, some of the prisoners in the Lawrence county jail have been re- leased, the charges against them having expired by limitation. yf
