Perkins Speaks on Cuban Reel
procity Measure.

Washington, Dec 16.-The house to-
day, Tuesday, on converting went into
committee of the whole for further
consideration of the pensions appro-
priation bill. Mr.. Crumpacker, the
first speaker, addressed himself to the
Panama question, saying that the at
tacks on the conduct of this govern
ment in connection with the new re-
public were unwarranted by the facts.
He said that while there was no pur-
pose on the part of individual men,
bers of the minority to foment trou-
BILE, yet the attitude Of the party would
give encouragement to Colombia.
Mr. Crumpacker, in colloquy with
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader.
asked if it were not true that the DEM
ocrats were willing to accept the stolen
goods if permitted to condemn the act
Of taking.
Mr.. Williams replied that while they
could recognize The character of the
child, they could treat 1t properly.
Mr.. Maddox (dem., Ga.), replying to
Mr.. Crumpacler, said he had arraigned
the party for statements made by a
few members of the minority. He
then spoke on the rural free delivery.
He produced figures and declared that
of the $4,000 routes established last
June more than one-third of them
were located in four states-Iowa, In
diana, Ohio and lllaois-and that the
first two named states have more
routes than IL southern states which
he named.
When the senate met Tuesday res
olution authorizing the printing Of
1000 copies of the war department re-
port on expenditures in Cuba during

The senate agreed to a joint reso.
luton to correct an error in punctua-
ton in the last naval appropriation
bill ito commute rations of midship-
men,"
When the Cuban reciprocity bill was
taken up Senator Perkins (Cal.) spoke
He declared that the people Of the
United States had increased their
sugar consumption six pounds a year
per capita during the past eight years.
Senator Perkins maintained that the
domestic sugar industry would not suf-
fer by reason of the operation of the
treaty, as, should we buy the whole
Cuban crop, it would only supply one
third Of the amount needed.

company, were present.
Objections to the sale were submitted
by lawyer representing Frances
c. Dawson, of this city, owner
of 100 shares OF Lake Superior
common and so shares of pre-
ferred, on the ground that the Speyer
loan had been contracted without the
| knowledge or consent of the stockhold-

preme court to set aside the sale. James

Cannot Buy Stock.
The attorney general has held that
savings banks in Iowa cannot buy stock
In other financial institutions. In this
opinion he sustained his predecessor in
the Office, Milton Renley, of Iowa City.
The Iowa law does not prohibit it, ex-
cept by inference. The attorney general
held that since the law did not authorize
the banks to invest in stock of other In
situations, they had no right to do it as
they must get express authorities for
acts from the statute. The decision, re-
iterated by Mr.. Mullan, was very Inn

asked many times of late if banks could
make investments of that kind.

rheumatism, suffering intensely for near.
ly three month, and although the best
physicians of Cresco were employed they
were unable to dlspel the disease. At
one time, however, it seemed as tho they
had conquered. as she was able to be up
and about the house, but the trouble
soon returned and she was again con.
fined to her bed. During the long and
painful illness she was q most patient
sufferer, never once murmuring or COM
planning, and always thong htful of the
comforts OF those about her. She lived
and died in the faith of her Saviour, and
amt ny her last words were these, "I
never was 80 happy in my life,'' and "I
know l am going home to Jesus.'' She
left this world with calm and peaceful
smile, and loving friends, teachers and
schoolmates covered her cesket with
beautiful flowers as they came to pay
their last sad rite.
Six little girl schoolmates acted as her
pail bearera.
The funeral services were held in the
Baptist church Friday afternoon, Dec.
IL, conducted by Rev. ]. B. Smith, ard
her still and silent form wes lain to rest
in Oak Lawn cemetery.
1--WE loved her, yes we loved her,
But angels loved her more,
And they have sweetly called her
TO yonder shining shore.
The golden gate was open,
gentle voice said come,
And with farewells unspoken
She cnnely entered home"
