luton, which, he said, he thought was
proper at this time, authorizing the
committee on rules to reexamine the
rules of the senate, with the view of
ascertaining what changes, if any,
are necessary, and especially to make
inquiry whether it is expedient to in
any way limit debate in the senate,
md if so, to what extent. The resolu-
ton further provides that the COM
mittee is authorized to sit during the
recess of the senate, and they are d.
rected to submit a report to the SEN
ate of their conclusions as. soon as
practicable, after the beginning of the
session next December. The resolu-
ton was referred to the committee to
audit and control the contingent ex-
penseS of the senate.

WANTS $4,000 FOR KISSES.
Violet Webb, Of Des Moines, Sues E.
e. Preston,

Des Moines Sept. 1.-For kisses
which she alleges were taken against
her wishes, Violet Webb wants E. F..
Preston, an East Des Moines real estate
man, to pay her damages in the sum OF
$4,000.
She says when she entered his em-
ployment it was only to do such do
mestic work as her poor sight would
permit. But she claims her nerves were
so shocked by his hard pressed suit
that horrid and loathsome visions have
been left in her memory
On May %, she entered the Preston
home and soon after the family went
away, leaving her alone with the man
Of the house who occupied a separate
room She AYERS she was deprived OF
any means of fastening her door and
that against her protest the man en-
tered her room on two different nights.
She says he repeatedly kissed and en-
braced her, but that he failed In all
these means to overcome her resistance.
Then she claims he threatened her with
injury If she told anyone Of what he
had done.
Considering her blindness, her separ-
alton from the world and the fear un-
der which she labored, she says, she
made all the resistance possible and es-
capped from the house as soon as pos
sible. She has always been a chaste
character, she claims and sets forth
that his alleged assaults caused such
an intense strain upon her nervous sys-
tenn that she was struck with a mental
terror from which she never hopes to
recover.
