HULL BACK IN WASHINGTON.

Congressman Looks Thin After His
Recent Serious illness.
Washington, Jan. Hooking rather
thin after a serious illness of several
weeks. Representative Hull, Of Iowa,
chairman of the committee on military
affairs, called on the president Thurs
day. Mr.. Hull's illness was brought on
by exposure during a trip thru the
Philippine archipelago last summer,
Since the opening of the session Repre-,
sentative Hull has been unable to be at
the capitol.
1.-The committee on military affairs
will meet on Tuesday for the purpose
of looking over the field of prospective
legislation" said the representative.
THE proposed plan to establish con-
ce%ntration camps, where the militia
could be instructed in active soldering,
Is hardly advisable, because to make
the plan efficient the annual encamp-
ments would be six weeks or more in
length-too long for the average! citizen
who is a member of the militia to be abb
sent from his work"
Representative Hull will have a gen.
eral talk about military matters with
the president in the e future. At
their conference the applications for
army appointments of several former
rough riders We're considered.

PASSES CUT OFF.
st. Paul Lines curtaiI Amount Of
Transportation to Shippers.


st. Paul. Jan. 4.-The important st.
Paul lines share in an attempt to re-
duce the amount of free transportation
ifsued to influence traffic, which became
operative yesterday. 1t was asserted by
a representative Of n line that free
transportation has been cut of entirely.
Information from other lines indicates
that the move is less sweeping.
Orders have been issued to freight
men that passes given to secure ship
ments and to accommodate shippers
must be greatly restricted. Passes are
rot to be given except when refusal
means q definite and specified loss. The
new instructions amour to orders that
better judgment must be exercised in
granting passes, n that shippers must
be turned down" when possible.
Requests for passes that reached In
terested lines yesterday were uniformly
denied. Annual passes are still being
sent out, but the lists have been thor
oughly revised. One Chicago line has
dropped more thar 200 In other
instances mileage books are sent instead
CT passes, and to still others mileage
books are sent but restricted as to the
territory In which they are good.
The position Of the lines Is that while
traffic is SO heavy that 1t is impossible
to furnish cars to carry all the freight
offered, passes TO influence business are
useless Freight men are less sanguine
for the success Of the attempt after the
grain movement, which is still heavy,
subsidies.
"At present every line is IN constant
difficulties because of car shortage an
official said yesterday. "This attempt to
brace up transportation matters will be
successful until the volume Of traffic is
less. Then it is probable different lines
viii begin to break away from 1t"

struck by a heavy spar and badly

concerning the rescue of the passengers
and crew | am not able to state how
large the death list will be, but in my
opinion it will not be less than twenty,
and possibly may reach forty or fifty. A
rumber were injured by the falling tim

the Storage passengers persisted in this
manner. The housing Of the Onward

few, n while 1t may be possible some

MIR. Mccleary Receiving Many Favor

Washington, Jan. 4.-Congressman
McCleary, of Minnesota. who has been
active in securing arguments in sup
port of his measure providing that ma
tional banks may loan a portion of their
u upon real estate. is receiv-
ing more mail than any congressman in
Washington. He recently addressed let
tiers to several thousand bankers in diff
ferent states of the union, asking their
opinion as to the d~esirability of the leg
islation he proposes, and he is now re-
ceiving his replies. The banker to
whom the congressman's letters were
sent are promptly responding. and
thousands of other bankers in the coun-
try are writing of their own volition,
most of them expressing their approval
of MI. McCleary's by offering
suggestions on the subject.
Mr.. McCleary stated yesterday that
nearly every response he had received
been a favorable one, and he is now
engaged in classifying the arguments
for presentation to the committee. He
is very anxious to ascertain the position
of Mr.. Shaw, the incoming secretary of
the treasury, on the question under
consideration. 1t is reported that MIR.
Shaw has expressed his opposition to
the measure. asserting that it would
be unwise to in any ann relax the
restrictions concerning the investment
of bank resources. Nh. McCleary will
endeavor to secure a conference with
Mr.. Shaw as 10 as possible, and will
learn his wishes before pressing his
before congress.

experts, pointed to the existence in him

he was a victim.

when he assasslnated President Nc

both legally and medically-and fully
responsible for his act.

concluded his report as follows:
There has been found absolutely no

washington. Jan. 1.-THE first cabinet
meeting of the new rear was devoted to
discussion Of minor matters relative to
the various departments, anfong them
the overcrowded condition of some OF
the buildings. Lack of space IN the
navy and war departments is especially
eyident and there was some discussion
of the absolute necessity for a new
building. It was suggested that II the
department of justice and the state de-
partment could be accommodated n q
single building, thus leaving the pres
emit state, war and navy building for the
use OF the latter departments. the sit
us ton would be greatly relieved. No
conclusions, however. was reached. Sec
rotary Gage talked for some time about
the hardships imposed upon foreigners
deported under the immigration laws.
He instanced the case of a woman and
child now being held in New York be-
cause afflicted with a contagious dis
ease of the eyes. They are Assyrians
and the husband Is now in this country.
The case has excited sympathy in New
York. but under the law the mother n
child must be deported.

GERMS OFTEN SUICIDE.
Rather Than Take Water They Kill
Themselves, Says Prof. Russell.

Chicago, Jan. According to bac-
teriologists Of the American Society of
Naturalists, some kinds of germs have
so great an antipathy for water that
they actually commit suicide to escape
the fluid. At Thursdays meeting of the
society it was proclaimed as an estab-
lished fact that water is in itself an
agent deadly to many kinds of germs,
and that milk also has destructive at
tributes within itself.
The information was brought out by
Professor H. L. Russell, Of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, who read a paper on
1.-The Toxicity OF of Water Toward Ger
tain Pathogenic Bacteria" Professor
Russell described the results Of expert
ments, which proved to his satisfaction
that toward some forms Of germ life
water acts as q poison. He said, also.
that the consequence Of the suicide Of
the bacteria In water is the publication
Of the water. The waste substances
thrown off by the life processes of the
germs form, when IN solution, poisons
which destroy the germs that produced
them.
President Sedgewick disagreed with
Professor Russell, but h latter was
upheld by DR.. Jordan. Of the University
Of Chicago.
An interesting discussion in regard to
heredity was brought up before the
morphologists. e. B. Meek and F. w.
Lutte, in a paper on The Inheritance
of Color in Pointers" proved that the
markings of dogs could be traced to
their ancestors with mathematical ex-
hnyP irhovlfnH fvnpN tho
parents, one-eighth from the great
grandparents, etc.
The convention ended Thursday night.
The next convention will be held at

CROWLEY SUES LAWSON.
Catholic Priest Asks $4,000 for Al

legged Damages by Publication.
Chicago, Jan. 4.-Monsignore Martin
ELI, papaE delegate to the United Staes,
with Bishop Scanned, OF Omaha, and
other prominent Catholics. will be CALI
ed upon to testify in the superior court
in a suit for damages to the amount of
s25, 600 brought against Victor F. Law
son. publisher Of the Chicago Daily
News, by Father jeremiah Crowley
who was recently for a time under the
ban Of communication. The direct
representative of the pope, with the
other officials of the church, are to be
asked regarding Father Crowley's
standing.
Father Crowley's claim for damages
is based on In article published in the
News last Monday. In the hearing OF
the suit the charges OF gross immor-
atty brought by Father Crowley
against nineteen priests of h Chicago
diocese will be a feature. These charges
were brought by Father Crowley just
previous to the making of Father Peter
J.. Muldoon a bishop. and as a result OF
the controversy which followed the
priest was communicated He was
restored to his priestly Office on Christ
mas day.
The News article stated that Father
Crowley was doing penence in a mon
astery In the diocese Of Dubuque pre-
paratory to the removal of the ban OF
accommodation. 1t was represented
that he had withdrawn his charges
again the Chicago priests, and he was
reported as %repenting OF his action in
making the charges. This article, he al
leges, placed him in humiliating, false
and dfsgraceful position before the
world, and particularly befor the mem
beers OF the Catholic church.

Washington, D.. c., IAN. 4.-The ac-
ton Of the board of directors OF the
Panama Canal Company in deciding to
offer it's property and franchise to the
United States government for $40, 00o,-
600 may, 1t is feared, a delay in
congressional action on pending canal
measures, as a number of senators have
determined to defy public opinion so far
as to advocate a further investigation
of the project. Whether or not they
will be able to do so remains to be seen,
but it is anticipated there will be q
lively fight owe this question.
Soon after the I~nteroceanic Cana
commission reported in favor of the
Nicaraguan route the Panama repre-
sentatives saw at once it would. be nee
essary for them to make q large cut in
the price they wanted to secure for
their property. This price was 10000
900, which vas considered out of all
proportion to the value OF the props
erty.
The Panama lobby instantly set to
work in connection with the transcon-
tinental railway companies to delay the
enactment by congress of a law provid-
ing for the construction Of q canal by
the Nicaraguan route.
An attempt win be made to secure
the adoption of an amendment to the
bill now pending. leaving to the presi-
dent of the United States the selection
Of a route. The president, 1t is said, is
anxious to shoulder this responsibility,
and this may have it's effect on con-
gress.
The latest offer OF the Panama Canal
Company may, it is said. delay action
on the canal bill. 1t will be taken up in
the house on Tuesday, and those who
are well posted assert that the Panama
company will not he successful in Sc
