Some unknown parties entered j.
Morgan's barn Wednesday night and
borrowed his ponies When Percy
Morgan went out to feed the ponies
in the morning he found them gone,
and thinking they had got loose, be-
gan looking for them. But upon a
closer inspection Of the barn a bride
was found missing. One of Rad
cltffe's teamsters on his way. to Sand
lake found the ponies near McDer-
motifs old shanties on the deer skin
creek, and telephoned word back
from Sand lake where they were. 1t
looks as if somebody was going that
way and didn't want to walk, and at
ter riding the ponies as far as they
dared, turned them loose. The trick
was mean one and the eulpits would
no doubt be given the full extent OF
he law if caught.

SUFFRAGE QUESTION
BOTHERS REPUBLICANS
House Majority Is Not So Confident
Now That 1t Can Pursue
Course Outlined by Leaders.
Republic Bureau.


Washington. March 1s.-The objections of
the conservative Republicans to an inves-
tigation of the Southern suffrage question
are beginning to be weighed by tho more
partisan element.
On considering the matter further and
noting the general criticism OF the PROPOSE
ton. the House Republicans are less con-
ident to-day that they can afford to pur-
sue the course the leaders have outlined. 1t
is probable, however that they will go
ahead with the Investigation. The zealots
are in control. and they feel that. having
become committed to the policy OF section
alisn, they may as we'll earn the general
denunciation they are receiving. both
through the press and in letters from bust
ness men everywhere.
To-day. however the leaders OF the move
ment are taking time to consider the sub
ject In some OF Its broader phases. They
discover that one important question which
has been raised in connection with tho
Crumpacker resolution concerns the right
OF Congress to attempt . new apportion-
ment of congressional representation at this
time.
The Constitution directs that the actual
enumeration for apportIonment shah be
made every ten years. This enumeration
was made in 1900. and the new Rpportion-
ment Hereunder was provided for in an act
passed by the last Congress.
While the Republicans assert that Con-
gress can proceed with an investigation OF
suffrage conditions. Ii Is considered an open
question whether any action can be taken
before the next census. 20 be made IN 1910.
which contempiateS a new enumeration and
apportionment In several States where
this question has arisen In connection with
the superintendent of legislative districts

and opportionment provided for at stated
times by the State Constitution cannot be
taken at intervening periods.
How far this provision OF the Constitu-
ton conflicts with the Fourteenth Amend
ment. which provides for a reduction OF
TO correspond with the denial
or abridCment Of the right of suffrage. Is
O question which has not been decided.
1t is apparent however that the sttua-
ton which the action OF the Republican
lea ders ha. created is one fraught with
many serious problems. more farreaching
snd troublesome than has been appreciated
by those who have hastily given counte-
nance to the proposed investigation.

DEBATE ON BILL TO
PROTECT PRESIDENT
Senator Spooner Declares That As
sault on President Is Always
Assault on Government.

Washington. March ia.-During the entire
session OF the Senate to-day the bill pro-
vidins for the protection of the President
of the United States was under considera-
tion.
Mr.. Spoorer OF Wisconsin contended that
the Government had an absolute and inhsr-
ent right to protect itself against assaults
made either upon Itself or upon any of its
officers. lie maintained that an assault on
the President was, in the very nature Of
things. an assault on the Government. for
there never was time when the President
was not in the exercise Of the duties of his
Office. His argument was largely legal and
constitutional. and throughout was force
frl. entertaining and instructive.
Mr.. Hoar. In charge Of the measure. eiuci-
dated some arguments he had made pre-
v:ously. and Mr.. Teller OF Colorado and
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas spoke briefly upon the
bill. The Texas Senator said he could not
support the measure IL stands. because
he could conceive of an assault made upon
the President person and not as an
official of the Government. The assailant,
in that event. oaght to be punished preciss-
ly as II he had assaulted any other citizen.
Eouse Proceedings.
Washington. March Is.-The House to-day
made fair progress with the river and har-
tor bill. After the close CT general debate
twenty-seven OF the 1i6 pages OF the bill
were disposed of. No amendments were
adopted. The general debate to-day was
featureless.
