STATUE TO STEPHENSON.

Passed.

Mr. McCleary yesterday called up in
the House the joint resolution granting
permission to the Grand Army of the Re-
public to erect upon public reservation
in Washington statue of the late Bcnja-
min F. Stephenson. the founder of the
Grand Army OF the Republic.
rs it a settled fact of history" asked
Mr.. Payne CRep., n. ". when the reso-
luton had been read. that this man is
the actual founder of the organization"
THE Grand Army states that he was.
and the organization ought to be good
authority" replied Mr.. McCleary.
II know OF one or two other gentle
men," continued Mr.. Payne, who claim
the same honor and distinction. but sup
pose, ii the Grand Army states that this
gentleman was the founder, 1t ought to
know"
The resolution was then passed.

SIX HUNDRED A YEAR
FOR RURAL CARRIERS

purpose was 10 load down the bill with
holds strict civil service views, would
he Obliged to veto the measure and
thus defeat rural free delivery. Mr..
Bromwell denied any such intention.
Mr.. Fleming-Tho President placed the
carriers under The civil service rules,
didn't he?
Mr.. Bromv cll-Yes: and my proposition
is 10 take them out. We ought not to
confinc our action to an opinion from the
White House.
General Grosvenor said that while in
sympathy with the amendment he would
not support it while the reference to an
executive order was in it. incidentally
he alluded TO the 'thlack eye which had
been inflicted upon the merit system by
the destruction of the homer roll of clerks
in the Census Bureau by some one. whom
he could not tell.
The amendment was overwhelmingly
defeated.
To Do an Express Business.
Mr.. Fleming Dem, Ga) offered an
amendment, which was agreed to, allow
ing carriers to do an express package
business where it would not interfere
with their duties as mail carriers.
Mr.. Small (Dem., n. c. proposed an
amendment requiring the Postmaster
General to establish rural free delivery
routes in States and Congressional dis
tricts upon a basis proportional to the
rural population to be served in the ratio
borne to the whole rural population Of the
country. 1t was defeated by party vote
the Democrats for and the Republicans
against.
Mr.. Williams mem.. ILL.,, moved an
amendment providing for the dismissal of
any carrier who shall use his Office to
advance the interests of any political party
or candidate. This was also defeated by a
party vote.
MIR. Cannon. of Illinois. was the only
ReI ullican to vote with the Democrats on
the proposition. He was greeted with loud
applause on the Democratic side when he
arose to Vote for the proposition. and stood
alone, with his Republican brethren all
sitting. In response to the applause he
very gracicusiy waved kiss to the mem
bers across the aisle.
When the committee of the whole arose
Mr. Williams renewed his proposition by
moving to recommit the bill with instruc-
tions to include his amendment, but on a
yea and nay vote the motion was lost.
The bill then passed without division.

The Senate Finance Committee will
make important changes in the House
bill to repeal the war revenue tax. not
withstanding statements to the contrary.
1t is not the intention of the commit
tee to change the main object of the
bill, to repeal all the war taxes. but II
considers portions of the bill radically
defective.
The most serious defect is In the to-
bacco schedule. In the form passed by
the House it would not only remove the
war taxes, but in all probability would
also reduce it below the rate which ex-
listed before the passage of the House
bill.
1t provides that the tobacco section of
the war revenue act and the amendments
to it by the law of last March shall be
repealed, and in lieu of the tax Of IL

Immediately after the reading of the
Journal yesterday Mr.. Burton presented
the report of the committee upon the
river and harbor bill. which carries an
appropriation of about $50, ,000 900.
MIR. Burton gave notice that he would
call the measure up for consideration in

tion Of the postoffice appropriation bill.

they are needed so that anyone who de-
sires a telephone can secure one.

against the victims that good records
expert training and earned promotions
can avail nothing in an attempt to secure
other Government employment: and
whereas is is unjust to compel the
taxpayers of the country to pay for train
ing two sets of clerks while receiving the
services and experience of only one set;
therefore be 1t
Good for Two Years.
Resolved by the House of Representa-
concurring, That all employees of the
Twelfth Census 0aborers, charwomen
enumerators, supervisors. and special and
field agents excepted who have not beer
discharged for incompetency or disreput-
able conduct shall be and are hereby
made eligible for appointment or trans
fer to any other department Of the Gov
ernment service at their highest census
gradcs and salaries; the force and effect
Of this resolution to apply to such census
clerks as may have been discharged for
two years from and after its passage. and
to apply to all other census clerks during
their employment in the Census ONCE
and for two years after their discharge
therefrom."
Intention of Congress.
1t was clearly the intention of Con-
gress, Mr. Sims said. that the employees
in the Census Office should be covered
into the classified service and made ell
gible for transfer to the other depart
ments. And had it not been so the House
would not have placed in the permanent
census bill section 8. which covered all
the employees of the Census Office at the
time of the passage of the act into the
classified service.
Furthermore. Mr.. Sims said, the House
never would have agreed to the confer
ence report on the census bill had 1t
known that section 5 had been emascu-
lated so as to defeat the will of Con-
gress.
More Valuable Than Eligibles.
1t must be evident to everybody, he
said. that the clerks who have worked
for a year or more in the Census Office
are much more fitted TO do clerical work
in the departments than the people who
are on the eligible list OF the Civil Service
Commission, because the people who have
passed the civil service examination have
had no experience and must necessarily
learn the routine before they can become
of value to the Government.

WINTER GONE, SNOW
and ICE BILL PASSED
Senators Say 1t Will Answer
for Next Year.
Bills Excluding Minors From Billiard
Rooms and for Chimney Sweep
Superintendent Passed.

The bill to provide for the removal of
snow and ice from the sidewalks of the
District was passed by the Senate yester-
day.
In answer to the tendency in some quar-
ters to ridicule The measure, coming. as 1t
DID. so late in the season, its friends stat
ed that while they hoped there would be
10 occasion to enforce 1t this year, it is
intended to be q permanent statute, and
will answer admirably for the first storm
next winter.
Provisions of the Bill.
The bill has been described at length
in The Times heretofore. 1t provides reg
ulations making it necessary for tenants
of buildings and owners of vacant lots to
have snow and ice removed from side
walks Immediately after storms. 1t is
more stringent than the present law.
Other Measures Passed.
The Senate also passed yesterday the
bill to prevent minors under eighteen
years Of age from frequenting billiard and
pool rooms, and the bill to provide for
the appointment of superintendents of
chimney sweeps.

The use of kerosene oil as substi-
tute for COAL both in the range and
furnace will be greater than ever this
year. 1t will enter into household use
more this winter than ever before.
New devices have been invented in re-
cent months so that householders may
convert its combustion into powerful
and economical process. The principle
of all the new inventions is to change
the Kerosene into a gas, before COM
bustion. by evaporation and an abund-
ant Introduction of cold air. Many
kinds of appliances are now in ordin-
ence 10 carry out this process in ordin-
airy stoves and furnaces, and the same
idea is embodied in small heaters
which may be placed anywhere, de-
tached from the chimney. 1t is esti-
mated that an equal amount of heat
may be generated with kerosene al the
present prices for two-thirds of the
money invested for anthracite coal at
the regular prices. and housekeepers
have started in to give it a good trial
this winter.
