OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS NOTES.
LATE NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR
NATIONS CAPITOL.
ALL BILLS HAVE PASSED
But Not Easy. Rivers and Harbor
Bill was the Last and Hardest
Problem. Pure Food Bill Definitely
Displaced.

All the appropriation bills have
passed both Senate and House. But
not easily. Conferences were many
and discussion at times ran high. Ine
House finally accepted the Senate pro-
vision for increase in the Marine
Corps, the last issue in the naval Dill,
and receded from the House mileage
provision, the last stumbling block OF
the general deficiency bill. The House
stood pat on the emo constructive
recess'' programme. The rivers and
harbors was the last and hardest prob
lem. The House took the view that
Pennsylvania has received much IN
the past and all she was entitled TO
in the present bill, and the strength

Mr.. Kittredge's motion joint res
olution extending to the end OF the
next Congress the Spooner law. The
resolution reported to the House was
referred, but it is said that the COM
mittee will not meet to consider the
matter. The House bill re-instatlng
the midshipmen who had been expell-
ed from Annapolis was passed by the
Senate, and both branches adopted
resolution accepting the recession
from California of the Yosemite Val
lev to be added to the Yosemite Ma
tional Park. In the Senate the pure
food bill was definitely displaced and
sharp colloquy over the incident oc-
Cured between Messrs. McCumber
and Lodge. The joint resolution con-
tinuing in force the present law ap-
plicable to the Panama Canal Zone
was adopted unanimously after sever
al Senators had expressed themselves
in frank language concerning the at
titude of the House, to which they at
tributed the failure of the conference
on the bill.

Representative Grosvenor said that
the point of order made in the House
by Representative Baker against an
increase in salary of the president in
the future would not apply to an
amendment coming to the house from
the senate. ~ do not know what is
the intention in the senate in this mat
ter" said General Grosvenor, "but
if that body, which has not yet acted
on the sundry civil bill sees fit to pour
out an amendment providing for the
increase in salary, no point Of order in
the house will apply. I know good
many representatives who hope this
will be done, so that the house may
have an opportunity of voting the in
crease.

50, We're taken. An entrance was
made through the back of the build

is no clue as to who are the guilty par
ties. This makes the fifth robbery
committed in the city during the
past several weeks. There seems to
be regularly organized band of
thieves here. Mr.. Clark, the manager
of the express company and telegraph
office, says he has not missed anything
but the stamps and money order. The
thieves were evidently after money, as
they did not trouble any express pack
ages. The police are making every ef-
fort to arrest the band, so they can re-
ceive the full penalty Of the law

THE WAKE ENBRACERY CASE

We are glad to see that Judge Allen
had the backbone to withstand the
pressure brought to bear on him in be-
half of Rogers and SOrrell the two
men convicted in Wake county of tam
pering with the jury in the Gattis-
KilgO case. These two men were
guilty Of a very serious crime. They
deserve severe punishment Sympathy
for them, especially for Rogers, was
great. He had many friends among
the best people Of Wake county. Many
people felt exceedingly sorry for him;
but this should have had no effect on
the judge and we are glad to see that
it did not. These men were of such
standing in their county that such con-
duct was more reprehensible in them
than it would have been in persons Of
less education and public position.
Rogers had been sheriff Of his county.
He was well aware of the enormity of
his crime. He knew that he was at
tempting to undermine the very basis
of the institution of trial by jury; that
if he succeeded in his endeavor he
would lay the foundation for establish
ing corrupt jury system in his coun-
ty which would make a farce Of our
whole court system. He should have
been severely punished. His sentence
Was not at all incommensurate with
his crime.
