AT the station also were the members

From an official source 1t is learned
that Italy desires to prove that, while
loyal to the Triple Alliance. she is
quite free to entertain friendly re-
lations with other powers, having for
her object the maintenance OF peace.
This object was brought about by the
complete Anglo-France-Italian accord

which has been working with perfect
harmony since last November. Any

number had been doubled. along with
the probable fatal shooting Of robber.
Meanwhile homes were being robbed
right and left and hold-ups were re-
ported from every direction.

been robbed of his watch and money,
when two policemen jumped on the
car. The robbers fed, but one of them

Proposed Senate Building.

sT think this is an extravaganza
which surpasses everything l have
ever seen offered in this Senate"
With these strong words Senator
Berry OF Arkansas denounced the
proposition before the Senate TO appro-
priate $4,000. 900 for an Office building
and site on capitol hill for the bene-
fit OF senators. The Arkansas senator
dealt the project some powerful blows
and succeeded in postponfnig a vote.
Il is said there is no doubt about the
nassage OF the amendment carrying
the appropriation which the Senate
committee has put into the sundry
civil bill Mr. Berry stated 1t to be
the ultimate intention of the Senate
to spend nearly s5.000.000 on the
building. the pending appropriation
being merely a starter. This he figur-
ed would be $1,000 per senator.
Nj. Bailey supported the amend
ment. He said that Mr.. Berry's com
ment as to the cost of the proposed
building might be applied to the capt.
tol. That building had been erected
for the Congress as whole, and he
considered the best none too good in
the way of accommodations. He did
not want oriental magnificence. but he
did want splendid buildings. Sena-
tors in Washington should not live in
huts nor stop at wagon yards; nor
should they have their Offices in mac
cessible portions of the capitol.

tension, but advocated the new build
