BATTLE OVER CLERKSHEPS.
Lively Tilt Between RandelI of Tex
as and Weeks of Michigan.

Committee or Elections No.3 has never
been organized, it has no business to
transact, and consequently does not need
the services of 4 clerk" said Representa-
tive Randell Dem, Tex.).
THE gentleman from Texas has not
stated the facts in any respect" said
Representative Weeks (Rep., Michl.
Thus the question of vcraciy was
raised on the floor of the House yester-
day between the chairman of the CON-
mittee and cne of the minority members
1t created a lively discussion for a few
minutes. and by a decisive vote Dir. RAN
dell was sustained.
The House had under consideration the
report of the Committee on Accounts and
Resolutions. authorizing the employment
OF certain clerks TO committees and other
employees. When that section was
reached containing a provision to employ
a clerk az 81 a day for Elections Commit
tee No. 3, Mr. Randell. a member of the
committee, arose and offered an amend
ment 10 strike out the provision.
Mr.. Weeks tCck issue with him Mr.
Hemenway (Rep., md supported Dir.
RandelI's position and declared that even
If Mr.. Weeks were correct in his state
ment that there were three important
contested election cases before the COM
mittee he saw no reason for engaging
clerk at 81 n day. The vote was SO to 80
There was also another interesting in
oident IN connection with the considera-
tion OF the report of the Committee On
Accounts. Mr.. Loud CRep.. CALI suggest
ed that the Committee On Pacific Rail-
roads did not have sufficient business to
warrant the hiring Of a clerk.
This nettled Mr.. William Alden Smith,
the chairman Of the committee who
jumped 10 his feet and in somewhat
excited and angry manner declared that
he had meter known Mr.. Loud before 10
oppose anything that contained the word
Pacific"
The resolution was passed, carrying
with Il clerk to the Committee on Pa
cihc Railroads.

VERDICT ORDERED BY COURT.
District Wins Suit Because of Plain
tir's Contribut0ry Negligence.

After five days trial Chief Justice
Bingham, in Circuit Court No. 1, in
structed the jury, in the case of Abra-
ham Wolf VS.. the District of Columbia.
to return a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant. The action was to recover So, 900
damages sustained by the plaintiff for
the loss of his leg.
The evidence showed that the plaintiff
had visited Saengerbund Hall. on C Street
northwest, and that in going therefrom
to take a wagon standing in front of the
establishment, in the night time, he STUN
bled over carriage step. resulting in
such injuries to his leg that the limb had
to be subsequently amputated. The
was an unlawful obstruction in the street
for the maintenance of which the Dis
trict was liable. The District claimed
that the Saengerbund Society was re-
sponsible in the event of it's being com
PEELED TO pay damages. and gave the So
ciety notice to assist in the defence of
the suit.
Upon hearing of the evidence the court
held that the stone was not an unlawful
obstruction; that the plaintiff had been
guilty of contributory negligence in not
seeing the stone, and that upon the
whole evidence he was not entitled to re-
cover

THIEF MAKES A RICH HAUL.
LoOts n saloon Safe, Which He Found
Unlocked, of $500.

Some one entered the saloon of Charles
Schlegel. pa Ninth Street northwest
shortly before s o'clock Tuesday night
and on finding the safe invitingly open
and no one behind the bar. made off with
over $500 in money. The loss was not
discovered until yesterday morning.
According to Mr.. Schlegel, he is in the
habit of closing his saloon at o'clock in
the evening. and opening early in the
morning to cater to the market house
trade. On leaving the saloon at 7:i5
o'clock Tuesday night Mr.. Schlegel not
only forgot to lock the safe, but also
the front door. On several occasions he
had left the safe unlocked, SO that the
bartender could open it in the morning
to get the money left at the saloon over
night by market men.
About S:i5 o'clock Tuesday night Jo-
seph Crauser. iaborec employed at the
White Lot, entered the saloon to get a
drink. Finding no one in charge, he
knocked on the floor, thinking the bar
tender was in the cellar. Receiving no
response, he walked to the rear window
and was told by the occupants of the up
per part of the house that the saloon was
closed.
The bartender was sent for. and the
front door locked. \ quantity of silver
in the bottom of the safe, the cash regis
ter, and s. gold piece that had been left
on the top of the register were not dis
turbed. There is no clue to the thief.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The stock of tn,
Snap Hook and Eye Company of America
underwent remarkable drop today. On
Monday it sold around $40, while at one
time today it could be bought for 81.
Later it recovered much of the loss.
Reason of the slump.
This condition of affairs in the stock
of the company came about, according to
certain curb brokers, by the departure of
the secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany, w. Alexander Ellis.
The Snap Hook and Eye Company OF
America was first traded in on the curb
about six months ago. 1t has been quoted
at from 30 to As. Not much was known
on the curb about the concern, except that
it manufactured hook and eye.
1t was known that the company had an
office at rs Broad Street. and that it had
a factory. That was all that the curb
spectators cared to know, until they
were unable to make deliveries of stock
which they had been commissioned to Dus.
Then they wanted to know lot.
Could Not Make Delivery.
One of the firm of Bunnell C Buchanan,
of Al Broad Street. said today:
I'VE sold sixty shares of the stock ON
Monday to man named Bryan. When we
went to make the delivery for Mr. Bryan
he told us that he had assigned his
CT ntract to w. l.. Hess. We went for Mr..
Hess and he told us to deliver the stock

Senator Heitfeld of Idaho. who has just

at the pardon by President Roosevelt and
the subsequent release of Sergt. L. X.
Crawford, n-commissioned officer of
the regular army. Crawford was SEN
fenced to thirteen years in prison for

from the bull BEN in 1899, an incident
of the aftermath of the Coeur d'Alene
riots. President Mckinley commuted the
sentence to six years Imprisonment of
which Sergeant Crawford had served two
years and three months.
Some time ago Governor Hunt. of Idaho,
Democrat, pardoned Paul Cochran. who
had been a leader of the miners during
the time of rioting. The Republican press
of Idaho bitterly criticised Governor
Hunt and Senator Heitfeld for the par
don of Cochran.
Senator Heirfeld who never disguised
his warm sympathy with the victims of
the bull pen,' strongly urged Craw-
ford's pardon, and was attacked by the
Republican press for it. He said yes
terday morning:
President Roosevelt evidently arrears
to take the same view of the Coeur
d'Alene trouble that the Idaho state ad-
ministraton did. l am a little curious
to know what the Republican rapers will

NEED OF MANY BANKING LAW CHANGES
TO MEET DEMANDS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Charles A Conant, Special Commissioner Of the War De-
partment, Says Institutions Should Have Branches
to Meet Competition.

branches and to issue currency in order
to give them ample resources, stability
and the prudent management arising from
large powers and competent officers.

branches in the United States 10 do do
nestle business. Dut believed that sucf
branches should he permitted to receive
deposits and do foreign exchange busi-
ness. II was suggested that branches in
the United States should be limited to
the reserve cities.
The change in the basis Of note issues
recommended by MIR. Conant was the re-
duction Of the deposit required under the
national law with additional require
ments of a % per cent cash reserve
against circulation and safety fund
raised by taxation upon the note issues.
Need of Currency.
Mr. Conan: declared that the body Sc
cured system would not result in the is
ste Of any circulation at Manila, be-
cause OF the greater profit of lending
money directly. There was the strongest
need of currency at Manila, and if
the present issues OF the Spanish Fill
pino Bank should be suddenly retired un-
der compulson Of law something like
panic might occur there.
Mr.. Conant favored putting the Span
ish Bank under substantially the same
regulations as national banks in the is
lands, and believed that both should
be encouraged to issue the paper ne
dium OF exchange to the amount required
by the needs Of trade.

Banking conditions in the Philippine
Islands were discussed al considerable
length yesterday before the House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs by Charles \.
Conant, of Boston. the special commits
sioncr Of The War Department on banking
and coinage in the Islands.
MIR. Conant pointed out that the bank
ing business of the islands was now prac-
ticaIly in the control of the branches of
the two great English banks, the Hong
kong and Shanghai and the Chartered
Bank of India. and Of the Spanish Filipino
Bank.

He declared that an American bank was
needed not only at Manila, but with
branches Mt HonSkong. Nagasah. and
other points in the Orient. Such i bank
would do much to promote American
trade and 10 facilitate exchanges with
IT, q rited States. He recommended that
the national banking law be extended to
the Philippines with several important
notifications.
The principal notifications were the
ability to establish branches and diff
ferent basis for note issues from that un-
der the national banking system. Small
banks without the power TO establish
branches would be helpless in their COM
petition with ihe great English banks
and the other foreign banks in China and
Japan, some of which received direct aid
from their home Governments.

Committee on Elections Fails TO Sc
South CarOIinn Interstate and
West Indian Exposition Gets Its
Appropriation.

The House yesterday passed the gen
eral pension appropriation bill without
division and without amendment.
When the measure was taken up for
consideration under the five minute rule
sMr. Jenkins (Rep., Wis., offered an
amendment. affecting the general pen
sion laws by eliminating proof of mar
riase under certain conditions.
Mr.. Barney. in charge of the bill,
raised the point of order that under the
rules of the House no amendment could
be offered to an appropriation bill affect
ing general legislation. Mr.. Bartlett
Dem., Ga.), Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.). and
Mr.. Underwood Dem. Ala.) supported Mr..
Barney's point, declaring that the Re
publican majority made the rules of the
House, that Democrats were not RESPONSE
bic for it, and that the rules should be
followed.
Mr.. jenkins declared that the Demo-
Gratis had for two days been indllging in
"Duncombe" talk about bringing the
North and South together, the good feel
ing between the cid soldiers or both
sides. and the proposition to open the
doors Of the Federal homes 10 Confeder-
ate soldiers yet wien it came 10 doing
something material 1or the old soldier
they raised technical objections.
Mr.. Bartlett Dem, Ga.) replied hotly
by asserting that the South had accepted
the issue of battle and it had no favors
or charity to ask. The State of Georgia
provided fer her own soldiers cut of her
poverty and never would he vote 10 allow
Confederate shelter in Federal homes.
MIR. Underwood said it was so appar-
ent that Mr. Jenkins amendment was
cut CT order that the Republican member
in charge of the bill had raised il.
Mr. jenkins admitted that he had in
trcduced a bill covering the provisions
contained in his amendment. but that the
Committee On Invalid Pensions had failed
TO report it. Mr.. Underwood said the
Democrats should not be blamed for that.
He resented Mr.. Jenkins charge of '-pun-
combe" talk by the members of his party.
Mr.. Lacey, the chairman of the Com
mittee OF the Whole, sustained the point
of order, and several other amendments
weIe likewise ruled out. The bill was
discussed until 2:50 O'Clock, when it was
passed.

MR.. DANCY'S SUCCESSOR.
He VIII BE Il White Man, and VIII
Soon Be Named.

The President viii soon make nomina-
tion for the office of collector of the Port
Of Wilmington, y. c., now held
By Jchn c. Darcy, colored. who will sue
oeed Henry P. Cheatham as Recorder of
Deeds in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Dancy viii assume the Recorder
ship as soon as his successor at Whining
ton is appointed. The President has de-
cided to appoint white man to the posi-
ton. B. +. Keith, of Wilmington, has
been urged for the place, and probably
will be appointed.
1t is probable that there will be con-
siderable reduction in the working force
in the office of the Recorder OF Deeds for
the District before the end of the pres
ent month. The force is said to be far
in excess Of the number usually engaged
in the recording of deeds and other docu-
ments filed in that office.
The increase was made necessary by
the volume of business done in the Of
fee during the incumbency of Henry p.
Cheatham.
