THE WEEKS OUTLOOK
AMONG CONGRESSMAN
Senate Will Go on Talking PhiIiD-
pine and the House Wind Up
Appropriation Bill.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 27-PIans
of the senate for the week do not extend
beyond the continuation of the debate IN
the Philippine government bill and the
consideration Of minor matters. There is
no prospect thus far for speeches in sup
pert of that measure, and consequently
all the talk bids fair to continue on the
negative side. Up to now the speeches
all have been made by minority mem
bers of the Philippine committee, but it
is stated that other Democratic senators
have promised to follow in opposition,
among them Messrs. Turner, Clay and
Simmons. Senator Hoar also will speak,
but probably not this week.
In the committees the inquiries into the
Cuban sugar question and into General
Crozier's connection with gun carriage
inventions probably will begin. The com
mittea on the PHILIPPINES also will proceed
with its investigation.
There is a miscellaneous program ahead
for the house this week Tomorrow the
special rule for consideration of the omni-
bus public building will be passed. and
District of Columbia business attended to-
Tuesday the omnibus bill will be passed.
Wednesday consideration of the agricul-
tural appropriation bill will be resumed
and the District CT Columbia appropria-
ton bill will probably pass before the end
of the week. With it's passage only Two
appropriation bills will remain-the naval
and general deficiency. Seldom have the
appropriations bills been so well advanced
at a long session of congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April u
The house committee on interstate
commerce, which had been holding
hearings on the question of
granting enlarged powers over rail-
road rates to the interstate commerce
commission, held a session last evening,
when Joseph Nimmo, formerly of the

CELEBRATE FLAG DAY
GOV. VAN SAINT FAVORS a MORE
GENERAL OBSERVANCE
He Says Such Patriotic Occasions
Cannot Be Too often Observed or
Their Lessons Too FOrcibIy I'm
pressed on the Rising Generation

An effort will be made throughout the
United States this year to make Flag
Day June IA, one of the most important
and widely observed celebrations of the
year. Its observance heretofore has not
been as general as desired, and the Grand
Army and Sons Of Veterans have taken
steps to make it more of a natural fea-
ture than it has ever been. Governors of
all the states have been urged to lend
their assistance to the movement. Gov
Van SAINT said yesterday that he was
heartily in favor of doing anything that
would tend to make Flag Day more gen.
orally recognized as a national event
and he will lend his assistance to the
work in Minnesota. Flag Day ought to
be as widely and sacredly observed as
any of our national holidays" said the
governor. THE flag is the symbol Of the
republic, and as such, we honor and re-
spect andNlove it, 1t stands for all that
the nation has achieved, for all the sacrf-
fees of a patriotic people. 1t typifies the
blood shed in defense of the republic 1t
IS the constant reminder of the faith and
the sacrifice and the devotion of men
who gave their lives for great ideals on
which the nations greatness is founded
1t is always well for US to keep alive,
and vigorous cur enthusiasm fer ideals
call it sentiment or emotion if you will
1t is the sentiment which is back of all
the herolSm that has blessed and conse-
Grated our land. We cannot commcmor-
ate patriotic events too often. They leave
an impression on the rising generation
If we do not commemorate these great
occasions we cannot expect that future
generations will. l believe in flag exer-
ciseS in the schools. l think every patri-
otto occasion should ne observed in our
schools. The birthday of Washington
Lincoln, Mckinley. Memorial Day and
all similar DECISIONS. 1t will serve to
keep alive and sensitive those sentiments
OF patriotism which are native to our
people. BY all means we shall observe
Flag Day"
Commander-in-Ch Chief Torrance, of the
Grand Army, will enlist the assistance of
the veterans in the observance Of the day
also, and the Sons Of Veterans are max
ing unusual efforts in all states to OBJ
serve Flag Day. Coming on June II. it
cannot be observed in the school houses.
but the school children will be impressed
with the idea of lending their assistance
to the celebration Of Flag Day.

Street Car Snuffs Out the
Life of Six Year Old
Jennie Treseler
CARRIED ON THE FENDER
For Half Block She Chung to Net
ting and Was Then Drawn IN
der and Instantly Killed
Body Almost Cut in Two.

Jennie Treseler, the six-year-old daugh-
ter of Henry F. Treseler, a cigarmaker,
living at 352 Geranium street, was run
over and instantly killed by a Lafayette
and Grand avenue street car at Green
brier avenue and Case street at 1880
o'clock last night For half a block she
chung desperately to the fender, but was
finally drawn in under the wheels before
the car stopped. The girl, with her
parents and family, were visiting the
fathers brother Herman Treseler, at 693
Case street and was outside playing ball
with her ten-year-oId brother and her
two cousins. According to the brother,
the ball happened to drop between the
car tracks and the girl stopped to pick it
up. AS she did so, she saw a car APP
preaching at rapid speed and she tried
to jump out of the way, but she was
too late and her dress was caught in the
fender and she was thrown on it. The
young girl was carried on the fender for
nearly half a block, when she fell off
before the motorman could stop the car.
She fell directly under the wheels and
both trucks passed over her, nearly cut
ting the little one in two across the alb
domen. Her body was terribly mangIed.
The car ran nearly twenty feet further
before it was stopped. Willing hands
picked the little one up but she was dead
before her mother or father could arrive
on the scene. Coroner A. w. Miller was
called and together with Officer Ferguson
carried the body to the sidewalk, where it
remained until the morgue wagon arriv-
ed. Coroner Miller will hold an inquest
some time today to determine the blame
for the girls death.
When the mother, who had been at
tracted to the place by the screams of
the other children, arrived, she was pros
trated with grief at seeing her child ly-
ing dead on the street car tracks, and
fell on the body of her child weeping
bitterly She was finally consoIed
enough, however, to be taken to her
home.
The news of the horrible accident spread
rapidly and inside of five minutes the
street was thronged. The crowd was
bitter in criticisng the motorman for not
being able to stop his car while the little
girl was clinging to the fender. The
car is sad to have run over half a block
after she was struck. The car was in
charge of Conductor John Koch and
MotOrman John Schultz.
