WANTED TO BITE THE
PASSENGERS ON CAR.
Detective Pe|tier and Special Had
Much Trouble With Insane Man.

The officer with Edward Engleson
left Perth Amboy early yesterday af-
ternoon with the Russian, who hadf
become crazed over the thought that
his family had been killed in the
Russian massacres. The trip had
not gone very far before Moravik
became crazy mad and wanted to bite
everybody.
Scared Passengers.
The passengers aboard the car be-
came frightened and when Moravik
had had two or three of these mad
fits they became uneasy, especially
the women and started to get of the
car, at frequent intervals a passen-
ger dropping off until but two women
were left on board who had nerve
enough to face the music and stand
1t out.
Moravik bit at the officers several
times and they were well worn out
on reaching here in the effort to keep
the man quiet. On getting here Of
ficer Peltier sent boy to the sheriff's
office to get pair of handouts, he
having left his home not thinking
the man would make fight on the
way to the hospital.
Upon the handouts being procured
the bracelets were fastened about
his wrists so that he was restrained
from making any more trouble. The
trio boarded car of the Trenton
fast line here for Trenton where
they arrived about 6 o'clock.

ENEMY OF FREE SEEDS
FOOLISHLY PROMINENT

Representative Morris Sheppard
the youthful and exuhrant member OF
the house from the First Texas dis
trict, is the relentless and implacable
foe of free seeds for the American
farmer, He sought in the last con-
gress to so amend the agricultural
appropriation bill as to cut out the
seed allowance. His vote was the
only one in support of the amend
ment.
He comes forward bright and early
in the present session with a new
method of attack. A bill introduced
by Mr.. Sheppard provides that each
person who receives the seeds shall
report the result of their planting
to the Department OF Agriculture, and
that all these reports shall be pub
lished as a public document. for the
enlightenment and e%dification of the
American farmer. Should the bill be-
come law. the capacity of the Govern
ment printing office will have TO be
increased about a hundred fold, anC
new paper mills would have to bC
erected right away.
The Keep Commission will get Mr.
Sheppard if he don't look out.

TARIFF REVISION WILL

1t is well understood that when an
adjournment day is in sight, the pres
ident will send "A tariff revision mes

the message will not, therefore, have
any serious bearing on the question
of adjournment. The house democrats
will find a good many preteXts to talk
tariff revision between now and next
June, but their oratory will not in
terfere with the business of the
house. Whenever the press dispatches
announce that "a tariff debate is
raging, it can be accepted as con-
elusive that the house has time not
needed for the actual transaction of
business.
All the important legislation TO be
enacted at this session will be per-
fected in committee and will have the
final avOwment Of the house rulers
before il ever becomes the SUBJECT of
public debate. Just by way of keep
ing his boys in good humor, Uncle

elOquence for home consumption. So

WASHINGTON WANTS
INAUGURATION PAGEANT

Citizens of Washington are natur-
ally much interested in the agitation
now raging to have less display in
connection with the inauguration of
future presidents, and to have con
gress appropriate whatever money is
necessary TO " the cost of these
simpler inaugurations. They are very
willing that congress should foot the
bills, if congress feels so disposed.
but they don't "cottOn" much to the
idea that there should be less dis
play at Inauguration time.
Though it would have the world be-
lieve it blase and unstirred by the
strains of martial music, Washington
dearly loves the sight of marching
soldiers and all the pomp and circum-
stances of militant display. The cap
ital would be a dreary waste without
these quadrennial exhibitions.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
CUTS OFF FREE PASS

The presidents message was pub
lished in the newspapers OF Wedsnes-
day morning which senators and rep
resentatives read, but il wasn't the
message which caused them TO con-
fer in gloomy little groups. The
cause of their woe was a dispatch
under philadelphia date which an
nouuced that the Pennsylvania rail-
road company had decided to discon-
tlnue all forms OF free transportation,
it being made plain that senators and
representatives are prominent among
those who viii have TO pay cash TO
travel after January LIST.
That was bad enough too. too bad,
in fact, but the same dispatch con-
tanned the further announcement that

EARLY ADJOURNMENT ,
is ALMOST CERTAIN.

Mr.. Roosevelt will get the credit of
a victory. OF course; and there is
none will deny that much credit is his
due. 1t is not Mr.. Roosevelt, how
ever, who has pummeled the senate
into a state of complaisance. Had
it not been for an almost unanimous
public opinion back of him, he would
have been as helpless as a babe be-
fore the trained and seasoned manip-
ulators of the senate inner circle.
If the railroad rate question is as
happily disposed of as now seems
likely, the session may be unusually
short instead of unusually long.
Speaker Cannon has fixed upon June
LIST as a desirable time for adjourn
ment, and thinks the business can be
wound up by that date. The speaker
is an expert on legislative schedules,
and his belief that the work can be
finished by the end of May is en-
titled to most respectful considera-
ton. The only obstacle is possible
obstruction of some kind in the SEN

ECONOMY is THE WORD,
AND NO PUBLIC BUILDINGS

During the first week of the ses-
sion the usual number of bills carry
ing appropriations for public build
ings have been introduced. II is
even possible that there have been
a few more than the usual number.
There are going to be "A lot of dis
appointed cities: for there is hardly
the remotest chance that "A pubnc
building bill will pass. There will be
appropriations. of course. for contin-
uing work on buildings now under
way, but it will probably be carried
in the sundry civil bill. Speaker
Cannon has set his face firm against
any new public building projects
however, and has refused to listen to
anxious members who have sought to
plead with him.
The killing off Of all new public
building projects is one of the Speak
er's schemes of wiping out the treas
ury deficit.
Undeterred by the announcement
that economy is to he the watchword
of the present session, the promoters
of the jamestown exposition are ser
enely asking for 50, 900, 900 as the gov
ernment's contribution to that new
project.
There isn't any chance of their get
ting $2,000,000, and Representative
Maynard of Virginia. the exposition's
sponsor in the house, doesn't expect
any such sum. He argues, with the
small boys i|rrefutable logic, how
ever, that he will come nearer hittinl
the moon by trying than if he didn'
shoot at all; and there is the further
consideration that whatever sum tn,
| exposition does succeed in getting
will appear modest alongside whaI
was asked.

Special TO The Evening Citizea.
Washington, d. c., Dec. VI. - Great
is the force of public opinion. There
are accommodating evidences that it
has enabled Theodore Roosevelt to
win a victory over the United states
senate. Ii would seem almost safe
to make a positive prediction that a
law for the federal regulation OF rail-
way rates, acceptable to the presi-
dent, will be enacted at the present
session of congress.
He would have been deemed a fool
ish man who would have ventured
such a prediction a month ago. Even
a week ago there we're all the signs
of an impending fight of huge pro-
portions. Ground began to give way
under the opposition when Speaker
Cannon entered into "A compact with
the White House, assuring that the
administrations rate bill would
promptly pass the representative
branch of congress. This compact
forced the railroads into a count of
senate noses; and while there has
been no public announcement of their
canvass, it is evident that the count
vas favorable to the president and
the people.
IL would not he fair to say that
Mr.. Roosevelt was compromised. He
will stand or fall by the essential
principles of the Esch-Townsend bill,
but he has made it plain in his mes
sage to congress that he is not going
to be a stickler for minor details.
This offered the railroad senators "A
graceful line of retreat. Mr.. Roose-
welt having shown a disposition to be
reasonable" they say. there is no
reason why a rate bill, equitable and
just to all parties, cannot be agreed
upon. This enables the senate to save
its face. and at the same time avoid
humping up against a firmly fixed
public sentiment.
