Without the formality of vote the
house at Washington yesterday after
noon adopted the river ami harbor
bill, carrying anappropriation of $780,
100000. The opposition to the meas
ure was not strong enough to secure
a roll call. This measure provides
for appropriations which are reck-
lessly extravagant, says the Chicago
Tribune correspondent. and which
were distributed in such way as to
command majority and defeat every
amendment except those acceptable
to what may be called the combine.

all probability it will be expanded to
the extent of several million dollars.
which may put this bin in danger of

REHEARING OF CRIMINAL
CASE IN SUPREME COURT
That Question Involved in Argument Of Coun-
Gil Case Yesterday.

The case of Louis Counsel, the con-
demned negro rapist of Fayetteville,
was reargued in the Supreme Court
yesterday.
This is the first time Criminal case
has been argued consecutively in the
Supreme court since it's early establish
ment.
1t has been against the custom of the
court to grant rehearing in a criminal
case, even though life was involved, and
if this is reheard it will set an import
ant precedent for the court.
Judge Douglas signed the order plac-
ing the case on the docket again, and in
this order he said that he would not un-
place it on the docket so as to give the
court the privilege Of passing upon the
question. Yesterday counsel argued both
the question of rehearing and also the
case on it's merits.
The court heard argument on both
questions and when it makes it's decis
ion it will decide whether a criminal
case can be reheard, and will at the same
time pass for second time on the mer-
it's of the case involved.
Counsel, who was convicted of rape,
perior court. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme court, but the decision Of the
lower court was affirmed. An effort was
made for executive clemency. The Gov
ernor granted Council several reprieves,
but finally declined to interfere with the
death penalty.

BARELY ESCAPED
ASpHYXA|T|ON
A Teacher at Baptist Female
University.
OPEN WINDOW SAVED LIFE
The Gas Was Turned on When she
Was Aroused.
MISS JESSIE DAVIS THE YOUNG LADY
Was Dazed and Did moi Know What Had Hap
pened. Unable to Meet Her Glasses in
Primary Department. Thought
She Had Turned Off Gas.

Miss Jessie Davis, teacher in the pr
mary department of the Baptist Female
University, narrowly escaped death by
apryxiation yesterday.
An open window undoubtedly saved the
life of the young woman, who, when
awakened yesterday morning, was in a
semi conscious condition, and the deadly
fumes of gas were pouring out of an
open Jet.
Miss Davis responded to treatment,
though she was not able to meet ner
classes. Yesterday afternoon she was
getting along nicely, though suffering
from a severe headache, which was nat
uarI
Though the gas jet was wide open
when the discovery was made yesterday
Miss Davis is under the impression that
she turned the gas off when retiring.
She occupies a. room in the Adams build
ing and the matron Mrs. Emshaw, is in
the habit of cutting off the gas for the
whole building at bedtime, which is
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night the gas
The supposition is that Miss Davis failed
unthoughtedly to turn the valve on the
Jet in her room Early in the morning
the gas for the entire building is turned
on again. Then it was that the escape
began in Miss Davis room. Fortunately
for her a window was up.
1t is not known how long the deadly
fumes of the gas were turned loose in
Miss Davis apartments. She was
aroused shortly after seven o'clock and
was so badly dazed that she could not
tell what was the matter. She succeeded
norusing help. Mrs. Emshaw was first
to the room. She detected the odor Of
gas in the hallway.
Miss Davis teaches the primary de-
partment. Her home is in Alabama. 1t
is thought she will be able to resume her
duties today.
