ure by Messrs. Cromer, Holiday

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE bill 10
classify the rural free delivery service and
to place the carriers under the contract
system held the floor in the House to-day.
By an amicable arrangement general de-
bate will be concluded tomorrow and the
bill will be considered under the fve-mn-
utes rule Monday. Those who spoke for the

Jersey. The following members opposed it:
Messrs. Padgett, of Tennessee; Warnock,
of Ohio; Small, of North Carolina; John
son, of South Carolina; Cromer, Holiday
and Zenor. of Indiana.
After Representative Holiday had fin
ished his maiden speech there was two
minutes of applause and lot of hand
shaking. He talked for twenty minutes,
and his audience was very attentive. He
made a strong argument against Represen-
tative LOud's contract. system scheme He
said he had never dictated the appoint
ment of rural carrier I'm his district and
never intended TO, as that was a matter
to be decided by the patrons on the route.
In reply to LOud's charges that the rural
carriers would soon control the Congress
men by demanding more wages he said that
he refused to be worried about such a mat
ter. as he was sure so long as the carriers
were well paid they would not attempt 10
make a political fight in their behalf. and
even if they should il would be of no ef-
feet.
Some routine business was transacted at
the opening of the session. Bills were
passed as follows To grant 10 the Georgia

PLEADED ZOE LENIENCY.


Both of the lawyers for the defendants
argued their points at length and each
pleaded for leniency of the judge because
of the other children which needed care.
They also dwelt upon the testimony intro
duced as to the general character and
reputation of their clients. Lawyer Brown
asked for consideration for Mr.. and Mrs.
Orme on the ground that it was their act
Of reporting the case which caused an
investigation that was later turned against
them.
When Judge Stubbs began TO speak after
the arguments were closed his voice trem-
blcd and it was with difficulty he was
heard Every other sound in the court
room ceased. There appeared to be
realization of the seriousness OF the case,
and the auditors leaned forward to catch
every word. Judge Stubbs said in part:
This is a distressing case from all points

to the parents of Hazel Orme: and il is
also distressing the court have tried

morning at the local Office Of the com
pany and several Of them went on.
The remainder will go to work Mon

day and secure a nine-hour day as the
result of the strike, and feel that they
have gained something. Word was
received from Salt Lake City and
Boise this morning at Z o'clock by the
men and they at once reported for
work and the strike was off.
Next week the crew will be sent
to Wolf creek for the purpose of con

a distance of about II miles. All of
the material is on the ground and
the work of putting in the new line

MORGAN WILL SUPPLY CITY
POOR NTH FUEL.
SLAP At THE OPERATORS
Speculation as to Motive Which
Prompts This Action on Part of
Merger King.

New York, Oct. "a statement is
sued by j.. p. Morgan & Co. and given
out by Mr.. Steele, a member Of that
firm, a Mr.. Morgan will purchase
$4,000 tons of English coal and give
it to the poor of New York. The text
of the statement is as follows:
1T is learned today that the Inter-
national Mercantile Marine company
has arranged to purchase in England
$4,000 tons of the best domestic fuel
coal for immediate transportation to
this country. The shipments will be-
gin at once, and be hurried forward
as rapidly as possible, even at the
sacrifice Of the company's regular bus
mess if it should be necessary.
This coal, as we'll as more, If. re-
quired, will be used to relieve any
suffering or scarcity that may exist
among the poor or public institu-
tons
The truth Of this report was Of
.ficially confirmed by an official Of the
International Mercantile Marine com
pany.
From the above text, it would ap-
pear that the real donor was the Ma
rine company, though there is no
doubt rs to the report that Morgan
is the moving spirit by which it is
hoped many Of the poor of New York
will escape suffering. The purchase
will require an expenditure Of at
least 100000.
The motive prompting such munif-
cence at the hands Of Mr.. Morgan, it
is limited, is q direct slap at the coal
barons for failing to settle the strike
at the recent Washington conference.
Those who believe this motive back
Of the gift assert that Mr.. Morgan
sent for President Truesdale last
week and told him the strike must be
brought to an end Immediately.
President Truesdale is reported to
have said that Mr.. Morgan mixed in
the strike two years ago, and made
possible the situation as it rests to-
day, and that he would have to keep
out and allow the operators to con
duct the fight along lines already
evidenced.
The starving out Of the miners is
also limited at. Mr.. Morgan is not
only the head Of the shipping COM
