HONEST AS A CLASS.
There Are But Few Malingerers
Among Government Clerks.
Most of Them, Both Men and Women
CheerfuIIy Attend to the Duties
Which They Are Engaged
to Perform.
Especial Washington letter.

~THE proceedings of congress are
carefully reported by the
most skillful stenographers;
and every word uttered in debate is
noted down, typewriter, set into
type and printed in the Congress
sional Record. These proceedings
are accurately published, and copies
are preserved in the Congressional
library, the library of the senate,
the library of the house of repre-
sentatives and in the library of the
department of state. Thus, from
1912, when efforts were first made to
secure accurate and complete re-
ports, the utteranceS of our states
men are recorded so that quotations
may be made forever; and complete
reports will always be made.
The legislative appropriation bill
was under consideration recently,
and Mr.. Hemenway, of Indiana, hav-
ing charge of the bill, was inter-
rupted by Mr.. Robinson, of Indiana,
with inquiries which led up to an in
teresting subject. The debate was
carefully reported, and it appears in
the Congressional Record as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Robinson-I desire to call the
attention of the gentleman to the
subject of the sick leave of employees
in the departments, subject to
which the committee addresses itself
largely in the report. l understand
4, 4 ,4,,,
Washington the heads of those de.
partments may require not less than
seven hours service of employees and
not more than eight hours, and that
these employees are granted an an
nual leave of 80 days with pay, and
in addition to that they have 80 days
sick leave with pay each year.
Mr.. Hemenway-I want to call the
gentleman's attention to this fact,
just to correct the statement he
makes. The law requires that they
shall perform not less than seven
hours service. The head of a depart
ment may call upon them to put in
II hours day if he is so disposed.
Mr.. Robinson-Under the law, can
they be required to perform more
than eight hours work?
Mr.. Hemenway-Yes.
Mr.. Robinson-Now, the gentleman
has said that there is no abuse of
the sick-leave privilege in Washing
ton
Mr.. Hemenway = The gentleman
does not want to misquote me. l say
that in instances there is abuse of
the sick leave in Washington, that in
many instances there is abuse of it;
but on the whole the result is not
bad.
Mr.. Robinson-The gentleman does
responsible for this, because he says
they are doing the best they can I'M
der the law. This is only the position
in which l desire to place the gen
tleman. l believe he says that; but
the fact nevertheless remains that
this abuse exists, and l want to ask
him if his committee have considered
this branch of the question, that the
government employees here in Wash
ington have 60 days leave of absence
with pay, while the employees of the
government outside of the city OF
Washington many of them have no
leave of absence at all, while others
have but Is days leave of absence,
and none have the sick-leave privi-
leges unless they are connected with

Fish Hatcheries.

! An omnibus bill providing for fish
shatcheries in several states was re-
ported in congress. 1t contains pro-
vision for the location of one plant
at Red Wing, for which Representa-
tive Heatwole introduced separate
bill early in the session. Representa-
/. tive McCleary had a bill for the loca-
ton of fish hatchery in Martin
county, but as the committee wanted
to establish only one in Minnesota,
and as Mr.. Heatwole's bill was intro
duced first, it was decided to include
his proposition in the bill.

WANT NEW BRIDGE
ARCADE STREET PROPERTY OWN
ERS WISH OMAHA TO
REBUILD
THINK PRESENT ONE UNSAFE
CORPORATION Attorney Is Looking Tn
the Law With View of Com
polling the Railroad
to Comply.

Corporation Attorney Markham is look
ing up the law to determine whether or
not the Omaha Railway company can
be compelled to build a new bridge to
take the place Of the old structure on
Arcade street which is claimed to be in an
unsafe condition and in need Of being re-
placed. Mr.. Markham, however will not
give an opinion until the supreme court
has decided the suit between the city and
the Omaha in regard to the Edgerron
street bridge
In this case the city contended that the
railroad company takes it's right of way
at all times through the city, subject to
the condition that the city may as the
occasion requires, extend it's streets
across the railroads right of way. In
view of this fact the city claims that
the railroad company should pay the cost
of making the necessary and safe cross
ings ever it's tracks, and where it ia
necessary to build a Bridge the railroad
company should do it.
The property owners of Arcade street
and vicinity want new bridge and suce
ceeded in having a sufficient amount In
Guided in the levy for the coming year
In case, however, that the supreme court
should decide that the city can compel
the railroad companies to build the
bridges over their tracks when it is neces-
Sary this amount of money can be saved
the taxpayers.
People claiming to know the condition
of the bridge, allege that it is dangerous
and not strong enough to stand the strain
of a heavy load passing over it. The
street is in good shape and is one Of the
most generally used approaches to the
city by way of East Seventh street.

FAMOUS navy. TRIALS.

Detroit Free Press: The Sampson
SchIey court of inquiry has revived all
manner of anecdotes regarding the IA
nous naval courts of the past.
One of the fayorite examples Is that Of
oliver Hazard Perry, the hero OF Lake
Erie He had controversies with Capt.
Jesse B. Elliott, one of his subordinate
commanders at Lake Erie, and With Capt.
John Heath, of the marine corps. The
latter he forced before a court-martlal
after knocking the young man down in
his cabin.
In 1917 a court of inquiry was held in
Washington to examine the charges of
an ensign against Capt. Jacob Jones, the
grim first officer of the Philadelphia
when that ship made her heroic fight in,
Tripoh. This court is still a matter of
merriment to navy men who are fond of
looking over the records of the past. The
ensign charged that Capt. Jones had
struck him and that, when he remon-
strated, all the satisfaction he received
was that If he got in the captain way
again he would be fHheated overheard.
Capt. Jones explained in his reply that
he pleaded guilty to being overhasty, but
that he did not really intend to drown
the youth He limited, however, that it
was for the good of the service to give
the youngsters such talk occasionally
that 1t kept them m their place. Capt.
Jones was found guilty and sentenced to
a private reprimand. Tradition says this
reprimand was administered when the
president of the court invited the brave
old sailor out to drink the health of all
concerned in the inquiry

RUN ON BANK STOPPED
SITUATION AT CLEVELAND IS RAP

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Jan. 3.-"The.

Chairman H. r. Newcomb, of the bank

affairs of the Everett Moore syndicate,
tonight. "The withdrawal of the saw
ings deposits was stopped by the action
of the Dime bank in requiring the sixty
Gays notice before, the shrinkage ex-
ceeded $4,000, I understand. There mas
been scarcely any call on the CONNER
cial accounts and even that is now
ended. This relieves the Everett Moore
situation also.
I'VE have been talking with creditors
to see if they will agree to the extern
sion of time for the syndicate to meet
its obligations. We have not yet met
with a single obstacle in our work. Not
one Of the creditors has refused the ex-.
tension asked for
Notwithstanding that the Dime Savings
bank is the depository of 81 25G,G00 of the

decided that the money shall not be dis
turbed, and it will remain on deposit in
the bank.

CzOLCOSz WAS SANE
so DECLARE THE EXPERTS AFTER
INVESTIGATION
Was in Every Sense Responsible for
His Aet-Was Socially Perverted
but Not Mentally
Diseased.

NEW YORK, Jan. Am exhaustive re-
port of the trial, execution, autopsy and
mental status Of Czolgosz, the assassin
of President Mckinley, is given in the
New York Medical Journal for Jan. !.
The report enlbodies the result. of much
careful investigation by DR.. Carlos Mac
Donald and Edward A. Spitzka, of this
city.
DR.. Macdonald concludes his report
with the declaration that Czolgosz, when
he assassinated President Mckinley, was
in all respects a sane man-both legally
and medically-and fully responsible for
his act
Mr. Spitzkas who made the autopsy,
concluded his report as follows: There
has been found absolutely no condition
of any of the viscera that could have
been at the bottom of any mental de-
rangement. Taken all in all, the verdict
must be Socially diseased and perverted,
but not mentally diseased The most
horrible violation of human law cannot
always be condoned by the plea of in
sanity. The wild beast slumbers in us
all. 1t is not always necessary to invoke
insanity to explain it's awakening"

HEAVY FORFEITS PUT UP
UNIQUE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
IN BROOKLYN.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-One of the most
original experiments in the settlement of
wage disputes between capital and labor
Will be made in Brooklyn by an arbitra-
ton committee of five men. If either
party refuses to abide by the commit
tees decision, it will lose $4,000, already
put up as forfeit.
The firm that is having the dispute
with its employees is that of Wichert &
Gardiner, shoe manufacturers in East
New York. In one department seventy
men and women are affected by a newly
patented method of making lasts, and the
employees demand an increase of cent a
pair. This the firm has refused, and both
sides have fallen back upon unique ar
rangement, under Which the Workmen
were to name two of the members of
an arbitration committee, the firm to
name two others and these four to select
the fifth. Both sides made heavy de-
posits, agreeing to forfeit the same in the
event OF failure to submit to the arbi-
tratiOn

ROBBERS ARE RUN DOWN
FOUR BANK BURGLARS CAPTURED
IN KANSAS

CAMDEN POINT, Mo-, Jan 5.-Four
masked robbers entered the bank here
at 2 o'clock this morning and wrecked
the vault with dynamite. A. P Sarr-
hurst, assistant cashier of the bank and
IL. f. RiXey, local merchant. returning
from dance, passed the bank just az
the explosion occurred. Hurriedly arm
ing themselves with shotguns and sum
moning a small posse, headed by Buck
Cullins, the crack shot of the town, they
surrounded the bank and opened fire on
the robbers. One robber was shot in the
shoulder, when the bandits broke and
ran TO the railroad and escaped on a
handcar. They secured no booty.
The four robbers were captured at
Pleasant Ridge, ten miles west of here
tonight, in a box car. The car was sur,
rounded and the robbers ordered to lay
down their guns and come out one at a
time. They obeyed after some hesita-
ton and were bound, loaded into wagon
and brought to Leavenworth. They gave
their names as c.. F. Ellis, James Nc
Donald, James Thornton and Harry Ed

Monkey and Man.

A dispatch published in the daily press
on the authority of a Paris newspaper,
asserts that Prof. Ernest Hacclsel. the
we'll known evolutionist, has revised his
apelike ancestor. The story goes that
p'rof Haeckel, while travelling in Java
recently in search of the missing link, .
discovered striking evidence that mon
keys are descended from man, and not
snan from monkeys; and also that chill
dren lost in the woods adopt monkey
habits. This tale is regarded by scien-
tific men as due chiefly to the lively
Imagination of some Partisan reporter.
Prof HaeckeI has not been heard from
Directly. but in his latest published state
ment, made originally before the inter
national geological congress, he says that
''the direct descent of man from some
extinct apelke form is now beyond ques-
ton, and admits Of being traced much
more clearly than the origin of many

BALL FOR MONTANA
HELENA AND BUTTE ARE TO BE

LEAGUE
LUCAS ANNOUNCES A CHANGE
Meeting With st. Paul Railroad Off,
ciaIs Makes Possible the West
ePn ORGANIZATIONS Circuit
Expansion.

The circuit expansion fever has reach
"a the far West and at the next meeting
of the Pacific Northwest baseball league
the magnates of this speedy little or,
gauization will vote to admit the towns
OF Helena and Butte. These two towns
were compelled to remain on the outside
last season, but now the situation is
changed and the fanatics Of the two
Montana towns are to have a chance to
root fer their own teams.
w. II. Lucas, president of the Pacific
Northwest league, is in st. Paul. Mr..
Lucas came to this city to discuss the
question Of transportation with the rail-
road companies. Last season the Lucas
league included the towns of Spokane,
Seattle, Portland and Tacoma. At the
close of the season the question of eX
pansion was taken up and Butte and
Helena were considered. 1t became a
simple question of railroad rates. If
the proper rate could be secured Helena
and Butte were to be taken in. If the
proper rate could not be secured the two
towns would continue without baseball
Mr.. Lucas Immediately pom his arrival
in st. Paul visited the railroad Offices
and last night reported that he had
reached an agreement with the railroad
officials and that Helena and Butte are
to be added to the Pacific Northwest
league.
Mr.. Lucas is we'll known to the old
fans of st. Paul. In 1856 he assisted IN
organizing the old Northwest league and
controlled the Duluth franchise in this
league. He won the pennant for Duluth
that year. In 1900 Lucas served as presi-
dent Of the Montana league and in 1901
was elected president of the Pacific
Northwest league-the position he now
holds.
The Pacific Northwest league is a
member of the national association of
professional baseball leagues and Lucas
is a member of the arbitration COM
mittee--the committee that started off
with T. j. Hickey as president.
Next season it is more than probable
that the Lucas league will play a 12O
game schedule. This question will be de-
Cided upon at the next meeting of the
league, when Helena and Butte are taken
in. The franchises in those two towns
have already been awarded and Lucas
looks forward to a successful season for
his reorganiZed league.

Sheedy, who came here two weeks ago
from New York for a pleasure trip, was
asked to quit a faro game after he had
won $500 in the leading gambling estab-
hshment last night; The night before he
went up against the bank and quit $3.50

IN another place, and was nearly 81, coo
ahead at one time, although he was a
snRll winner when he cashed up
= hen Sheedy got to plunging, just to
show the local gamblers now easy it was,
the latter got frightened, and, it is said
they talked the matter over and agreed
to put limit on Pat. There was no
objection to Mr.. Sheedy's game while he
was losing, but when he made his sec
ond entrance in the establishment the
dealer was worried. Pat bought a
healthy stack and the game started. He
was $500 ahead.
Amt your name Pat Sheedy?" the
dealer asked, hurriedly.
1t is, and l am proud of it," answered
Sheedy.
Well, I'm sorry, but we can't let you
play any more, said the dealer. I'VE
haven't any bank account handy to meet
your high rolling"
Sheedy was not offended, as no insult
was offered. He cashed up and quit.
