Prisoners on Way to Work House Have
Hot Time Of It.

Prisoners who are transferred from the
Police Court to the workhouse and jail In
the BLACK Maria" have a hot time of it
these sweltering days. The conveyance
will seat fourteen persons, and air is ad-
mitted only by a small shutter-like opening
at the top. At times the heat and stencil
are said to be almost unbearable. Prison
ers In all conditions and from all walks of
life, black and white, are crowded into the
vehicle.
One of the vans, in charge of Driver
Richard Anderson and Policeman Sawyer.
left the court about 1890 o'clock today for
the workhouse and jail with load of four
teen unfortunates. When the van reached
the corner of 1st street and Indiana ave-
nue. northwest one of the men in the van
shouted that a woman had tainted.
The van returned to the Police Court
where the prisoners were unloaded. Dora

sentence of thirty days in default Of fine

Scott in the morning, was the woman who

Effect Of Democratic Criticism.

1t Is claimed that If there had been less
democratic criticism of the policy Of the
administration in the Philippines there
would have been more time to take up in
an orderly way the subject of trust legisla-
ton. When this is done a bill will be in
troduced by republican and referred to a
committee. 1t will involve committee dis
cussions as well as-discussons in both
houses OF congress. When the legislation is
framed and finally becomes a law the party
in power must be responsible for It. If it
is ineffective the minority will be able to
point to 1t as an evidence of weakness or
III faith on the part OF the majority regard
less Of the way they themselves have voted
on 1t. They Will not be responsible for it's
passage or its efficiency. That, it is claimed
is just what would have been the case had

There is no way IN Which the majority can

TRUST LEGISLATION
RepublicansaL Leaders Smile at
Dubois Amendment.
PROPERLY r. REJECTED
HAD NOT BEEN CONSIDERED BY
ANY COMMITTEE.
Matter Expected to Be Brought Up at
Next Session and Worked Out
to Solution.

Inc eHort that is being made to give spe-
clal significance to Senator Dubois pro-
posed amendment to the census bill. re-
curing trusts to make reports concerning
thelr affairs in accordance with the Presi-
oents recommendation for publicity, causes
republican leaders in the Senate TO smile.
Republicans merely refer to this action as
an example of small political by-play which
they DO not believe will be effective in the
coming campaign when republican speakers
can answer the charge

Publicity Only One Feature.

Then. too, publicity is said to be but one
feature of trust legislation that will be dis
cussed in Congress, What will be advo-
Gated In the nature of such legislation is one
of the things now being considered by re-
publicanS who are to take leading part in
its enactment. But, above ALL republicans
declare that trust legislation to be enacted
by republican majority in both houses OF
Congress, to be approved by a republican
President, is to have its initiation in the re-
publican camp. is to be framed on lines de-
cided upon in republican councils because
only republicans will be held responsible for
it's practical operation. Leaders Of the ma
jority declare that the demands on the
time Of the last session of Congress were So
great that such legislation could not have
been properly considered and enacted. Many
of them at least confidently believe that
the coming session, although a short one
will see a solution of this question, so far
as present developments and present infor-
nation will permit solution of it. What
ever Is done, the entire responsibility will
devolve upon the majority in Congress.

Record of What Has Been Done.

In the first place, republicans say they are
gong before the country on a record of
what they have done, and not on a record
OF Things left undone. They claim that the
trust problem is one of the great problems
before the country, which, to be dealt with
effectively, must be carefully considered in
order mat comprehensive and well-ar-
ranged Dill may be drafted. AS an evidence
OF the trivial nature of Mr.. Dubois
amendment they call attention to the fact
Ihat TINS amendment was offered the
moor OF the Senate without having been con-
sldered by any committee to a bill to which
II could be made to relate only in remote
way.
Inc census committee, they say, was not
the proper committee to consider such leg
lslatlon. but even that committee had no
opportunity to discuss Is before Mr., Dubois
asked the Senate to adopt it. The author
OF the amendment, having previously been
IN the Senate and well acquainted with
methods OF legislation there, well knew, ac-
cordlng to the view of republicans, that the
majority could do nothing else than reject
such proposition coming from a member
OF the minority. The majority in Congress
nave always claimed the right TO originate
legislation that would have a strong po-
HtlcaI bearing. That has been so when the
democrats have been in control as well as
when the republicans have held the reins of
power.
