Mr.. Hepburn Sprung the First In Dis.

more and Mr.. Bailey Made
Most Sensational Ones.

Washington, Feb 22.-Two distinct
sensations occurred in the house yester-
day. During the consideration of an
amendment 10 the deficiency appropris.
ton bill to prevent haEing at the naval
academy Mr., Hepburn Of Iowa used en-.
ceedingly strongly language while in
Weighing against the practice Of hnzing.
charging by indirection that the habits
Of tyranny and oppression formed by
the officers Of the army and navy ~
their academies was responsible for the
sailors 10 enlist In the navy and for the
large number " desertionS from the

officers stood by each other when in
trouble. saying that the commanders OF
the rs vessels Of the navy lost since the
civil war had without exception escaped
punishment Mr. Cannon OF Illinois
and Mr.. Dayton Of West Virginia warm
ly defended the navy.
The stir caused w Mr.. Hspburn's
speech. however. was mild compared
with the row which waa kicked up Later
over some items In the bill for eHIrH
compensation 10 employees Of the house.
Mr.. Dinsmore Of Arkansas exposed the
fact that one Of the employees Of the
house. while occupying one position.
was drawing salary for another and the
difference between the salaries was IA
b. made up in one Of the items in ths
bill.
This led 70 a general ventilation Of
the domestic affairs Of the house, durinl
which Mr.. Bailey Of Texas. declared
that the situation was scandal upon
the integrity Of the house. He charged
that there were employees Of the hous'
who were dividing their salaries with
others who preferred no work and chal

his allegations. He offered 10 produces

NO MORE PAVING.
City Has All It Can Attend to
This Year.

There is no chance for any more pave
rnent in Topeka this year 1t is now too
late for any future petitions to go
through the necessary routine in time
to be put on the tax rolls
There are seven blocks Of pavements
still in the hands of the council, but it
is thought that this will be cleaned up
in time to be put on the tax rolls for
this year. The seven blocks which are
hanging on the ragged edge, as it were,
are located on Kansas avenue, Fillmore
ard West Sixth street
If these seven blocks are rushed
through, as they probably will be, it will
make a total of Sc blocks petitioned for
and allowed this spring and summer.
This breaks all previous paving records
of the city of Topeka.
At the council meeting tonight City
Clerk Squires win try to get the first
of his assessment ordinances considered.
This ordinance is 20 pages long, and
gives the amount of pavement tax due
on every number Of property included
in the first sixteen blocks Of pavement
acted upon by the council this spring
After being read to the council, and
adopted, it must be published in the
city paper. It Is then ready to be spread
upon the tax rolls.

could arrange to occupy it. They were
successful in keeping the affair quiet
until last week when by a blunder of a
delivery man the secret was out.
Young Stephenson had been looking
at a number of locations preparatory to
renting a cottage to set up house keep
ing Last week he went to one OF the
furniture stores and placed an order for
furniture to furnish a house. He was

the furniture nor the wedding but IN the
investigation which followed a complete
confession was wrung from the young
people.

her father and stepmother Several
years ago she went to live with her
grandfather's family, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas Main at MinOnk, Illinois.

GOODMAN INTRODUCER
Gov. Stanley Hears From New
York Harvest Hand Scheme.

Elias Goodman, introducer. That is
the way the New York alderman who
proposes to send 5000 people to Kansas
to help in harvest, styles himself Gov
ernor Stanley received a letter from the
benign alderman today He said:
LAS the introducer of the preamble
and resolutions I am DESTROYS OF aiding
the committee as much as possible IN
the work involved, therefore take the
liberty of requesting that you kindly
inform me whether in your opinion, the
suggestions are worthy of serious con-
sideration, and, if so, what steps should
be taken to insure the results cOntem-
plated. Any views you may express
will be gratefully received.
To the New York aIderman's hand
written letter Governor Stanley replied.
thanking him for his kindly interest
and stating that Kansas was getting
along fairly well with her harvest con-
sequently he deemed it inadvisable to
unload 5000 of New York's unemployed
upon the state at this time.
Goodman's preamble and resolution,
of which he sent a copy, read.
Whereas, There is an unusual and ex-
traordinary demand in Kansas and
other western states for unemployed
men and women, as announced in the
press dispatches, and
Whereas, There are thousands in our
city, worthy and capable, who would
doubtless avail themselves of the op-
portunity, if it were possible for them
to reach the place or places at which
this prOffered employment could be &C
cepted; therefore
Resolved, That our committee on
public charities be and it is hereby in
structed to confer with the department
of charities to arrange some plan or
method for making prompt and
thorough investigation so as to ascer-
tain the exact conditions; to learn how
many men and women will be given
work If they are sent west, and how
long such work will continue; to recon-
mend appropriate action. and, if needs
be, suitable legislation that will result
in placing such would-be employees in
position to accept the situations that
may be formally offered them.
