washington, Jan. ~. Senate. An
effort was made In the senate today BY
Mason OF Illinois to obtain consider
alton for joint resolution which he
introduced extending the thanks Of
congress to Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley for his brave and able
conduct while In command Of the
of Santiago" The effort. however,
was not successful. Mr.. Mason's reso-
luton. in addition to the thanks OF
congress provided that Admiral
Schley should be presented sword,
that bronze medals commemorative
of the battle of Santiago should be
distributed among the officers and men
under the command of Sch1ey during
said battle" and that $4,000 be appro-
priated to meet the expenses of the
resolution. On motion of Hale the
resolution was referred to the com
mittee on naval affairs. The resolu-
ton introduced yesterday by Teller
providing for intervention on the part
Of this government in behalf OF the
Boer commandant, Scheepers, sent
enced to death by the British South
African authorities, was postponed in
definitely, as Scheepers already has
been executed Teller made brief
but caustic speech on the course Of
Great Britain in the Boer war and de-
clared that If the facts Of this case
were as he understood Great Britain.
in putting Scheepers to death, Is guilty
Of vile assassination :" The depart-
ment of commerce bill was under cons
sheraton during the greater part OF
the session, but no definite progress
made.
House.-The consideration Of the
urgent deficiency bill, which has been
under debate in the house since Mon
day. was completed today, but owing
to the 1ateness Of the hour passage of
the bill was postponed until tomor-
row. A successful effort was made to.
increase the pay of rural free delivery
carriers from $500 to $500 per annum.
Hill of Connecticut made the motion
to increase the appropriation for this
purpose. It. was resisted by Cannon
and Loud, chairman of the postofice
committee on the ground that the
method was irregular, but the mem
bers with rural constituencies sup
ported it, and it was adopted, 100

CITIES HAVE POWER.
May Compel Bicycle Riders to Carry
Lights at Night.

Des Moines, Jan. 24.-The right of
cities to enact ordinances regulating
the privileges of vehicles on streets
is upheld by the supreme court in the
case Of Des Moines VS.. w. S. Keller,
the defendant having been convicted
OF violation of the city ordinance
requiring bicycle riders to carry a
light after dark when riding on the
streets of the city. The defendant was
fined the minimum amount under the
city regulations and the case appealed
to test the validity of the ordinance.
The court says: THAT municipal
corporation has absolute control of its
streets is generally conceded, and it is
equally true that it may enact such
ordinances governing the use thereof
as shall be necessary in its Judgment
to protect the public. Bicycles are
now generally treated as vehicles hav-
ing common right to the use of the
highways.
THE noseless, swift and light char
acter of a bicycle distinguishes lt.from
all other vehicles used on the high
ways. In the night on a paved street
it is silent as death. it glides along
without any of the noise made by
horses drawing a carriage. Its APP
proach is generally unheralded and
pedestrians who are called upon to
cross street are usually without
warning of it's proximity until a swish
advises them that it has passed
"A requirement that bicycle riders
use lamps during the night is but
just and reasonable exercise of con
troll over public highways. for the pro-.
lection of others whose rights thereon
are as great as theirs. =

CHARLES THOMAS SET FREE.


Des Moines, Jan. 22.-Charles
Thomas, charged with the murder of
MaDel Scofield, was discharged by
Justice Duncan upon the conclusion
of the presentation Of the states tes-
timony When Judge Spurrier an
nounced that the state had made it's
case and rested, William McHenry,
for the defendant, fled motion to
dismiss. The motion was as follows:
"Now comes the defendant, Charles
Thomas. and moves the court, the
state having rested, for dismissal
of the information.
First. Because the evidence in
this case fails to establish the allega-
ton of the state that Mabel Scofield
was murdered. "a
Second That ii the evidence does
establish the fact Mabel Scofield was
murdered, the state has failed to show
that reasonable grounds exist for be-
lieving that she was murdered by this
defendant.
Justice Duncan ruled in the first
portion Of the motion only; that he
was satisfied that evidence had not
been submitted TO prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that crime had
been committed. or to create a pre-
sumption in his mind sufficiently
strons to warrant him in committing
the defendant. He ordered the action
dismissed and the defendant dis

GETS scHLEY APPEAL.
President Receives Document Con-
tanning $4,000 Words.

washington, Jan. 23.--Admiral
Schley's appeal to President Roose-
welt for reversal of the findings Of
the court of inquiry was taken to the
white house by his counsel. 1t is a
document of about $4,000 words, and
although information concerning its
contents is denied both by white house
officials and by Admiral Schley's at
torneys, it is understood to contain a
critical examination of the evidence
and series OF reasons why it is held
that the court erred in finding the adj
nliral guilty on all but one Of the
counts in the precept.
There is good authority for the state
ment that President Roosevelt will
consider the appeal on the merits of
the case and will not attempt to take
the ground that it is not his duty to
review the evidence or do anything
but ascertain if the proceedings were
regular. 1t is also known that the
president has set out to read all the
testimony offered before the court
and all the official dispatches bearing
on the case. The legal phases of the
case the president will turn over to
Attorney General Knox for investiga-
ton, but the question Of the ade-
4quacy of the testimony and Of the
justice of the verdict the president
intends to settle for himself.
