Movement to Cut Off Con-
gressmen's Extra Mileage
Causes a Discussion.
IS THERE LAW FOR IT?
Mr.. LittIeheld Takes the Ground
That Second Appropriation for
Mileage is Unwarranted.
Contends There Was No Interregnum
and Consequently But One ses-
sion of Congress.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The house IS
considering whether members of CON
gress are entitled to be paid mileage
a second time. The controversy arose
on an item in the urgent deficiency bill
providing for two payments of mileage
for senators and members of the house
on account OF the extra session which
merged into the regular session. A
point of order was raised by Mr.. Mad
dox (Dem., Ca against the payment
of mileage a second time, and he was
supported by Mr.. Littleffeld (Rep.,
Me), who contended that there had
been no interregnum and consequently
but one session of congress and there
is no authority of law for a second
appropriation for mileage.
The interest manifested IN the ques-
ton was shown by the fact that there
were few empty seats on either side
Of the chamber when the mileage item
was reached. Mr.. Littlefeld received
close attention and was piled with nu-
merous questions as to his interpreta-
ton of the law and the constitution.
Consideration of the amendment in
creasing the appropriation for the ex-
penses of the district land Offices pre-
cipitated a discussion on the subject
of alleged land frauds. Mr.. Mondell
(Rep., WyoD, author of the amend
ment, in urging an increased appro7
priation, called attention to the in
creased volume of business Robinson
(Dem, Ind asked IL the increased
business was not due to fraudulent
entries. Mr.. Mondell replied that he
had no knowledge to that effect, and
said he believed the reports Of fraud
to be greatly exaggerated by persons
whose interest it is to have such
reports circulated. The provision in
the urgent deficiency bill to C9fray
the expenses of the international ex-
change commission, and another pro-
vision authorizing the consolidation IF
customs collection districts, We're
stricken out.

IGNORED Courts Order.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-E n. Nockels,
secretary of the Chicago Federation
of Labor. has befn cited to appear in
court to snow cause why he should not

jury to give evidence concerning al
legged acts of lawlessness committed
during recent strikes in Chicago, and
he was told to bring the books and
records of the Federation of Labor
with him. He refused to bring them
and told the grand jury that he had no
intention of obeying the order. He
was thereupon cited to appear before

IN THE SENATE
President Asked for information on

Washington, Jan 30.-The senate
has adopted the resolution introduced
by Mr. Culberson of the Democratic
caucus which calls on the president to
state whether the senate has been
supplied with all the facts bearing on
the controversy of Panama The vote
on the resolution was unanimous, but
there was a roll-call on the amend
ments suggested by Mr.. Cullom for the
Republican side of the chamber, call
ing for the information only in case
the president considers it not incom-
patible with the public interest to sup
ply it. This amendment was adopted

the modification, all the papers bear

sooner had been disposed of than the
Bacon resolution looking to the adjust
ment of our differences with Colon
bia by arbitration was considered. Mr..
Bacon made an extended speech in
support of the proposition, holding
that even if there was no truth in Col

charges were made raised an issue

this dehcit, and the other sports must

makes the stadium costly luxury,
and totally upsets the present system
Of financial cooperation by which the
sports whose gate receipts exceed their
expenses help to support those that
cannot be made to pay. Rowing, for
example, cost nearly $1,000 last year,
and the receipts outside OF subscrip-
lions were only $4,000. The track
team cost nearly $4,000 more than the
receipts. In five years the total ex-

increase Of $4,000, but most OF this

ONE OF JACKsoN's SLAVES.

For many years Washington Town
send has been janitor at the Ohio
state university Mr. Townsend was
born on the estate Of Andrew r-o'-~on
and was one Of Jackson's 1000 slaves.
Jackson's cotton fields covered an i'm
mense area, and, according to MI
Townsend, his fiocks Of sheep mum
bered we'll up into the hundreds. Jack
son was good master and his slaves
who lived with him cherished his mem
DRY.
The colored people on his plantation
lived in good cabins and they never
lacked for plenty to eat and were de-
MED nothing in the way of edibles
which the place produced. Townsend's
father was one of the most trusted
slaves upon the plantation, and was
often levied upon by Jackson to ride
his horses at the races.
After Jackson's death. says Mr.
Townsend, the step-son became tie
master OF the estate, and he, like An
drew jackson, was well liked by the
slaves. Finally, however, Mr. Town.
send became enamored Of the feeling
that he should be free, and with the
aid of an abolftionist he escaped by
way of. the underground railroad to
Black Flats, Ill. and from there to Gin
cinati, and afterWard to Columbus
where he has resided during some for
ty-six years past.

Harvard has long held the lead for
radical athletic supervision, and has
twice prohibited football. once to be
played ait all, again with outside
teams, says a writer III tie illustrated
Sporting News. The latest revolu-
ton In athletic control at Cambridge
is the most important in recent years.
It is wholly financial. but every branch
of sport is affected. and several Of
them will be severely crippled. In
brief, the university crew and the
track team must be supporting
hereafter, and the promoters OF minor
sports and freshman teams must raise
their own funds, or else they cannot
compete. Another restriction provides
that professional coaches shall be en-
ployed for the football and track teams
only. The reason given Is that the
construction OF the new stadium has
exhausted the funds Of the athletic
committee, ana also put 1T IN debt to
the tune Of $4,000 IN other words,
the profits from baseball and football
are to ba turned in for making good
