House Does Business With
Senate Amendments to
Philippine Bill.

Washington. Feb. 27.-Mr. Payne (N.Y),
chairman OF the ways and means commit
tee, asked unanimous consent IN the
house that the senate amendments to the
Philippine tariff bill be disagreed to and
that a conference with the senate be re-
Quested. To this Mr.. Richardson, the
minority leader, objected. He demanded
the regular order, which required the con-
sideration Of these amendments in the
house, making the point Of order also that
the amendments must first be considered
in the committee Of the whole.
Mr.. Payne controverted the point of
order, but admitted that one Of the
amendments, at least, was subject to that
point. AS Mr.. Richardson disclaimed any
Intention of using. obstructive tactics and
agreed that the debate should proceed
under the fve7in1nute rule, on Mr..
Payne's motion the house went into COM
mittee OF the whole and took up the
amendments seriatim. Mr.. Payne moved
that the committee recommend noncon-
currence In the first amendment to reduce
the rates on goods coming into the United
States from the Philippines to rs per
cent of the Dingley rates, while Mr.. Nc
Clellan IN. W moved nonconcurrence
with an amendment to reduce the duties
to 25 per cent Of the Dingley rates.
Mr.. Payne indicated a" willingness to
concede the 25 per cent reduction Of the
senate, DuC ne ufGeu uOncOHcuTfeuce III
order to simplify the phraseo1ogy.
Mr.. Mcclellan said he would be glad
to see free trade with the Philippines,
and his amendment was designed to i'm
prove bad bill by adopting the tariff re-
ductions urged by Governor Taft.
Mr. McClellan's motion was lost, "a to
1O7.
The house finally nonconcurred in all
the senate amendments, sent the bill to
conference and adjourned.

HIS PHANTOM TEAM
Arthur Westfoss Rose in His Sleep
to Go Driving.
TRIED TO WALK OUT "A WINDOW
A Hotel Clerk Caught Him and Saved
the Trouble of Scrubbing
the Sidewalk.

Hallucinations destroyed the sleep Of
Arthur Westfoss as we'll as that OF other
guests at the Union hotel, liz Nicollet
avenue, last night. Westfoss was labor
ing under the delusion that he was in
another land, and sang and shouted joy
ously, to the extreme disgust Of other
lodgers. Then OF sudden he came back
in his dreams to his old home on the
farm. He saw before the barn door his
team and wagon, and he started out Of
the barn to get into the wagon and drive
to town. In doing SO he stepped onto the
window sill in his room, which was on
the third floor, and thrust his foot
through the glass.
He about to step out into space
when the night clerk pulled him back.
The police at headquarters, across the
street, were notified, and Westfoss was
given lodgings and carefully watched at
the station during, the remainder of the
night. He explained to the officers his
delusions of the night, which were varied,
and both appalling and ludicrous.

SHY OF HOTEL FIRES
Travellers Decline to Take High-up
Rooms These Days.
THEY CARRY ROPE FIRE ESCAPES
Local Hotels Feel the Effects Of Re-
cent Frightful Losses in
the East.

The Park Avenue hotel horror In New
York, and several other bad hotel fires
of recent occurrence, in which there has
been an appalling loss of life, have given
the travelling public bad scare
Minneapolis hotel men say that 1t has
had a noticeable effect on their business.
The majority of those registering at local
hostelries want to know, the first thing,
if they can get room on or below the
third floor. Numerous instances show
that they Will change hotels rather than
take chances. 1s
The fact that the Park Avenue hotel
was supposed to be fire proof. is given as
one of the reasons.
In several instances, cautious travellers
have undertaken to provide themselves
with the means of escape. Humorous
features are not wanting.
''See that grip?" said the clerk of a
leading hotel, as he pointed toward a
bulging satchel which lay near the desk.
Belongs to the man who just registered,
and he's got just 100 feet of rope inside
Of it. That's what makes it so fat. Now,
this man figures that if he would awake
during the night to hear the wild alarm
Of fire, it would be the easiest thing in the
world for him to hitch that rope to his
bed or the doorknob and slide down to
safety. 'Tain't a bad idea, after all, but
I'd hate awfully to trust myself at the
eHu VI tuat rope Unless Lue uIe was
dangerously near me-
Fred L. Black, a Cleveland travelling
man, who claimed the grip little later,
explained how he came to adopt such q
safeguard. ~
"I've had so many horrible, realistic
dreams about being caught In fires since
reading the narrowing details Of" recent
hotel holocausts,' said he, "that I am
possessed of premonition that I will
have narrow escape from cremation one
Of these days. 1t amounts almost to a
conviction, and don't believe in dreams
either, ordinarily. So I just thought I'd
give myself fighting chance for life"
Mr.. Black has a patent reel on which
the rope is coiled, and which slowly un.
winds when a mans weight Is attached tc
the rope. He believes that if there were
statute requiring every hotelkeeper tc
provide each room with some such means
| of escape, there would be far less loss OF
life in hotel fires s- 50 ~

MORE LAKE HOMES
Coming Season Will See Large
Number Completed.
SOME PERMANENT RESIDENCES
The Demand for Cottages Is Ex-
pected to Exceed the
Supply.

. . /. J.. u 4 { + B " I ~ l.
The approaching season will see many
new cottages built at Lake Minnetonka.
For many years the popularity Of the lake
cottage as opposed to hotels and club
houses has been growing and each season
has seen the addition of many charming
summer homes. Recently the demand for
permanent homes has become even more
pronounced. And there is a constantly
growing colony who live at the lake the
year around.
The amount of money which will be ex-
pended at the lake this season in resi-
dences will mount high into the thou
sands and will probably overtop by large
margin any former seasons building op-
erations at Minnetonka.
Fred B. Long, the architect, is making
plans for a handsome residence for Frank
Barney at Arlington Heights, Wayzata, to
cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
Titus Mareck will make an important
contribution to north shore architecture e
with beautiful house, the lower part OF
which will be made Of boulders. The
residence will occupy a prominent site
overlooking the lake near Markville. 1t
will cost about SAC, 900.
At Excelsior, Dr.. Schroeder is having
plans made for beautiful home-0ne OF
! the finest at that end OF the lake. 1t will
| be located on rising ground near the Site
| OF the old Sampson house.
| The old Benton mouse on OrOnO pOlnt
has been practically reconstructed by Ell

Carpenter since last season.
| w. H. Dunwoody is also remodeling his
| cottage at Orono point;
Plans have been let for the construc-
| tton Of four modern cottages at Fa1rVleW
and Meadville park. H. w. Jimmerson,
the plumber, will build at Fairview park.
| George A. Putnam and Franklin Lyon will
both erect cottages at Meadville park.
Plans for many other cottages are said
| to be on foot. and the demand for those
already erected for rental purposes bids
fair to exceed greatly the supply by the
! time the season opens.

bred, combining in his character hon
esty, loyalty, devotion, and compassion
By virtue of being citizens the young
people of Americac were we'll born; under

cause they possessed these qualities they
were bound to exercise them in protection
of the flag and the government.
donald Simpson accepted the beautiful
banner in behalf of the school and him
self. He said it was an emblem of that
unity and freedom which willing patriots
risked fortune and life to obtain; that
nothing could better serve to fit pupils for
the responsibilities and duties Of citizen
ship than to have continually before them
the loyalty, unselishness and courage. Of
the men of the revolutions; and that the
flag. presented as 1t was by the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, would
doubly suggest the lessons of that time.
He then presented the flag to, the school.

chapter, addressed the pupils, giving an
