a sheet OF ice. As the night progressed

today
In the early part Of the evening the
precipitation was in the form OF rain

expected by the weather man.
Accidents resulting from the slippery
pavemeuts and streets were frequent
Walking anywhere was dangerous

great difficulty in stopping their cars

Will meet early next week to formulate
further plans OF procedure. The re-
moval Of the buildings will be under the
direction OF the superintendent Of the
Capitol. II is probable that sealed pro-
posals will be asked for at once for
clearing the square. it having been prac-
tically decided not TO dispose of the
buildings by such actionn as has been
suggested.

be required TO require the clearing of

fact that a year has already elapsed

are anxious that the work should pro-

that the entire square will be cleared
and made ready for the excavation for
the foundation not later than April !.
Protest of Residents.
Many of the residents and property
holders are protesting against such
speedy action on the ground that they
viii be obliged to move out and seek
new homes at an unreasonable time of
the year. They contend that they should
be allowed 10 remain In their old homes
Throughout the winter. Against this
contention the argument is made that
the residents have been aware for many
months that condemnation proceedings
were In progress, and that all Of the
property holders knew that possession
would be demanded as soon as the Gov
eminent acquired full title. and there
fore they have had ample time 10 make
TO move.
II IS prOba BILE the demolition Of the
buildings viii begin on the First Street

been admitted TO the exclusion of the
more important and. possibly errors
have been made in this respect in spite
of careful effort to avoid them
"Agree to Disagree"
Perhaps when those who have been
watching for the announcement of the
result Of The Times contest review the
lists which have been selected as win
ners, they will concur In the report ii
any do not. they will readily discover by
reading the Introductory of the large
dictionaries that both parties to this
contract" have the most eminent au-
thorities as examples of how to agree
to disagree"
The number of words submitted va
ried from six to nine hundred. Those
who submitted only six or seven words
or lists of over $50, with one exception
misinterpIeted the printed conditions.
Of the former there were but three or
four. They evidently assumed that no
letter of the alphabet could be used
more than once Four or five lists were
submitted having more than $40 words
With the exception noted the authors
of these failed to understand that no
letter could be used more times than
it appeared in the letter chart.
Claims of Contestants.
The chart contained 900 letters. OF
which including the VS. 800 were
vowels. 1t was claimed by one contest
ant. who submitted two lists Of more
than go words. one having 333 and the
other 323. that the letters Of the alpha
bet are words. in accordance with the
definition of the term. and that when
the letter IS" was added. making an al
legged two-letter word. such should be
admitted as words While the conten-
ton was not allowed. the lists he sub
mitted were not otherwise disqualified.
but they had to be reviewed to deter
mine. il, with the exclusion Of these
'alohabetic'' words they still contained
the greatest number.
This made over go words which had
10 be reviewed. The lists containing 800
words were next considered: they num-
bered fifteen. making a total OF 400
words. Before arriving at a conclusion
as to the awards it was found neceS-
sary 10 review all the lists containing
from go down 10 800 words.
Lists Examined.
The following table shows the number
OF lists which had TO be examined:

A Valuable Experience.

The foregoing illustrates the careful
effort which has been exercised to reach
fair conclusions. Whatever pleasure
those who have won shall derive be-
cause OF their success. or whatever the
disappointment of those who have not
Deen successful. none will say that
the contest has not proven valuable IN
the way OF instruction. and this profit
IS NOT only invested in those who
submitted solutions. but Likewise Is
shared 2y those who have reviewed
the work Of The contestants. While cir
cumstances which none foresaw pre-
vented awarding the prizes IN time to be

Il move that the gentleman from Iowa be
fined five thousand dollars, shouted one of
Henderson'S Republican colleagues.
Il second the motion" shouted twenty or
more members, all of them Henderson's
friends.
Speaker Carlisle then said: 1T is moved
and seconded that the gentleman from Iowa
be fined five thousand dollars. Those in
favor of the motion will say Aye. >"
Fully two hundred voices in shouts Of
delight called "AyeI'
The Speaker: Those opposed to this mo-
ton will say No"
And Hendersons voice was alone in yelling
No"
There was only one way out Oft to prevent
the motion from actually becoming effective,
and that was for Speaker Carlisle to overrule
the House, and he did SO, saying: The noes
have it aid the gentleman is excused"
And everybody applauded the decision for
nobody really wanted to fine Henderson.
