tribute to Both Political Parties
and Thus Tie Their Hands-fin

Washington, April 26.-Two ex.
tended speeches occupied the entire
attention af the senate yesterday.
Mr.. MeCumber, of North Dakota, dis
cussed his bill to prevent the mis-.
branding and misrepresentation of
food products which enter into inter-
state commerce. Mr.. Carmack, OF
Tennessee, one of the minority mem.
bers of the Philippine committee,
spoke in opposition to the Philippine
government bill now pending He
sharply criticised the president, not
only for the policy he is pursuing In
the Philippines, but for utterances
which, the senator declared, tended
to fan the flame Of instruction He
also denounced General Funston,
whom he characterized as the Gay
hawker brigadier from the wind
swept plains-the mightiest Samson
that ever welded the jawbone of an
ass as a weapon of war;
The house passed las private PEN
sion bills. including bills to pension
the widow of General William Lud-
low at $50 per month and the widow
of "Parson" Brownlow, of Tennessee,
at $50 per month. The remainder of

both political parties and tied their
hands. He warned the American
people that no relief could be hoped
for until there was a complete di-
vorcement of legislatures and con-
gress from corporation Hobbies and
influences. The point had been
reached, he said, where the attorney
general and even a member of the
supreme court had been chosen from
the employees of great corporations.

INCREASE OF PENSION
Mrs. isabella II. Thompson gets a
Handsome Raise.
Special to the New Dominion.

opeclal 10 the New Dominion.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-The
special bill giving Mrs. Isabella Fl.
Thompson pension of $50 pei. month
has just passed the house. Congress
man Dayton has had this matter in
charge for some time having interest
ed himself In the welfare Of his old
friend and one for who mhe has high
regard When school boy in Morgan
town Mr.. Dayton had room in Col
Thompson's home and the friend
ship then formed still exists. At the
same time Mr.. Dayton was member
of Mrs. Thompson's Sunday School
class in the Presbyterian church.
After Col. Thompson's death it was
found under the law that through a
mishap and the Colonel not having
any hospital record-that is wouldn't
go to the hospital but always stayed
at the fron-this widow would only re-
ceive privates pension. The matter
was called to Mr., Dayton's attention
and he has never ceased his efforts to
have justice done In the case.
The difficulty of having private
pension bills passed is very great and
Mr.. Dayton will have the thanks of
Mrs. Thompson and her friends for
bis efforts in her behalf.
Her friends in Morgantown will no
doubt be greatly gratified to learn of
the matter

f. NJ. g. p. BRIDGE.
Ordered Moved by the Government By
January 1st-Must Give way to Locks
and Dams.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company has been notified by
the Secretary of War that the steel
bridge below this city known as the
F. Nj. d z. Eridge, must be removed
by January 1st., 1908, in order that
the construction of the locks and
dams IN making the river navigatle
to this city shall not be delayed. 1t
will be remembered that some time
ago the Free Press contained an ar
tiele to the effect that this bridge
was several feet lower than the gov
eminent permitted. To raise it to
the height required would be prac-
tically impossible, and the railroad
company has long ago decided to
take away this bridge and construct
another says the Fairmont Free
Press.
The new one will be considerably
larger. 1t will be eight hundred
hundred feet in length and OF suffi-
cient width for a double track and
walkwav.
The railroad company place a
corps of engineers at work few
weeks ago making survey for the
bridge, and also for additional yard
room. In order to gain the required
height for the bridge they were com.
PEELED to make a survey two miles
below Rivesyiile. From that point
it will span the river. The engi
neers' plan are now in the possession
of the proper parties at Baltimore
under consideration. The time for
the contractor to begin work cannot
be far distant. The company intend
to greatly increase their yard room
here by adding additional tracks,
and at the time the contract is let
for the bridge, the contract for the
laying of at least a few miles of
double track to connect with the
Pittsburg branch. will probably al
so be let.

I
RIMS Piled up by the Varsity -Cour-
tesy Due Guests Prevented the Score
Being Made any Bigger.
On Friday afternoon ball game
was advertised to take place on the
Athletic Field between w. Y. u
and Grove City. The latter could
not deliver the goods. They cannot
play ball. If they can play ANYTHING
in the way of athletic games outside
of ping pong or fiddle winks it did
not develop on Friday
The only thing that prevented the
score from being made larger was
the locals felt that it would be viola
ting the eanons of good breeding to
rub it in harder on visitors. The
score was only limited by the wishes
of the locals.
All pitchers looked alike to them
and the ball was kept constantly on
the go. The only time that the Wis
itors seemed at ease was when the
game was called at the end of the
ninth inning.
There was lots of fun though.
Snider was caught between first and
second and it took seven men to put
him out. One of them had to catch
and hold him while the rest touched
him. Several rough tumbles were
experienced by the players in run
ming bases.

A New Departure.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway has recently put in service on
its Pioneer Limited trains the largest
and handsomest dining ear ever built.
1t is 81 feet in length from tip to tip,
and its body is inches wider and
higher than the usual dining car. 1t
seats SO people comfortably in nova
Bile chairs, and has kitchen large
enough to permit the working of six
cooks which with six walters and a
conductor make up the crew. The
dining cars heretofore in service did
not provide sufficient space TO properly
care for the large number of patrons
of the Pioneer, so that it became uec-
essary to have a larger car.
