THE SENATE.

Soon after the Senate convened today a
report was made from the committee on
Indian affairs of an investigation made by
that committee of the conduct of ". \.
Jones. commissioner of Indian affairs. with
respect To the leasing of certain Indian
lands Of the Standing Rock reservation.
South Dakota. The committee reported
that there was no foundation for the charge
made. and that the conduct of Commits
sioner Jones was entirely unselfish. The
report was agreed to.
Mr.. Simmons IN. c. then addressed the
Senate III support of the bill for the esta b.
lishment of national forest reserve in the
southern Appalachian mountains. He ex-
planned that ten forest reserves had been
established in the United States, none of
them east of the Mississippi river. He said
the establishment of the ten forest re-
serves In the west was made from the pub
lie domain, while cash would have to be
paid for the proposed reserve He did not
believe, however. that there was any diff
ference between appropriating cash from
the treasury and appropriating property Of
the government.
Mr.. Simmons said it had been suggested
that there might be some Job in the pend
ing bill This, he knew, was not true and
there Was no foundation in fact for the
suggestion. The measure was essentially
national in character. and it was advocated
as a national proposition.
The Naval Bill Taken Up.

Consideration was begun of the naval ap-
preparation bill.
The bill reported TO the Senate carries
appropriations aggregating s7s.168.s3

construction of buildings at the Charles
ton. s c., navy yard.

All of the committee amendments were
agreed TO except that providing for the
construction of two h-st-class battle ships
two hrst-class armored cruisers and two
gunboats. which went over at the request
of Mr.. Hale.
Another amendment offered by the COM
rnittee provided for the appropriation of

TO.

vldtng for the erection Of a testing Iabora-

them about the room, instead Of allow
ing them to rise vertically to the cell
ing. The circulation of this heated air
also produces a current which draws
the air from the room and brings 1t in
contact with the hot surface Of the
generator, thus further increasing the
radiation of warm air. The generator
is built up Of a series of thin metal
plates, with an opening at the bottom
for the insertion of the lamp chimney.
It is supported by vertical post and
arm, the latter being hinged
to permit the heater to be elevated for
the removal of the lamp. As the sleeve
which carries the supporting arm Is adj
Unstable on the post. a lamp OF any
size can be used. and as there Is no
between the chimney and
the generator the lamp can be instantly
removed If occasion requires.
