OF Tyler, Texas, Will open in 1907
with the largest enrolment in its his
tory. More than POO new students
Will be added to the already large en-
rOllment. Our young people should
feel encouraged in taking a course of
bookkeeping, Shorthand or Telegra-
phy, for notwithstanding the fact that
we enroll more than thousand STU
dents annually, there is not a single
graduate who has been out of employ
ment two weeks unless it is of his own
accord. Good positions are awaiting
them when they finish their courses.
During the past week We have been
asked to fill many good positions.
seven OF which We had no graduates
TO recommend. This is conclusive
proof that the professions for which
we are training young men and
women are not Overcrowded. We are
receiving calls almost daily from all
classes of business firms throughout
Texas and adjoining states for our
bookkeepers and stenosraphers. Diff

than two years ago, started al $50 per
month, are to-day drawing from $40
to $500 per month.
Young man, young woman; will You

tlnue where you and what YOU are?
Make up your mind promptly: the
longer you postpone practical ed

Increased salary it will bring. You
can enroll with US ut any time: we

This year for the first time II has
been hard work TO get anything ont of

Il do not know where the cause is. I
know that 1t occurs now for the first
time 1t has been suggested TO me that
the new management in the Printing

the Congress to wait on the convenience
OF the Printing Bureau instead If their

Il submit this resolution:

FIRST TROUBLE COMES THIS YEAR.

Il am told that the delay is owing
to the ineffciency OF the Printing De-
partment They have not had capacity
enough. although they have had hours
enough to get the bills ready for the
House, and that is matter which
hereafter we ought TO deal with in our
relations with the Printing Department.
They have shown an entire lack OF ca
pacity In this matter. and an entire
lack of appreciation of the situation,
and instead of, as has been done here
tofore, under other management, send
ing bills UP here early, they have taken
their own time and our delay is simply
owing TO the incapacity of the Print
ing Office"
So. unable to do anything until the
Printing Office should catch up with
ils work. the Senate took another recess,
Gill D. m When that hour arrived
Sepe.c- Hale was more indignant than
e-er. The Printing Office was still be-
hind. and Senator Hale could not con-
tain himself any longer.
Mr.. President" he said. IT have a
resolution. Both these resolutions take
root in the embarrassment that has

d. not know how many Senators have
asked why it is that when it was sup
posed we could adjourn early this morn
ing we were told we could adjourn at
half pass twelve, and then at three, and
then at six, and then at eight. and yet
the bills do not appear. One reason and
another has been given
Il do know this. Mr. President, that
for the first tine IN my experience here
il has been difficult to get bills that
come here from the House and are
ordered TO be printed, up before the
committees acting. in the time IN which
we have ordinarily had them. The
Printing Offee has been heretofore quite
a model in that regard. I have some
times been surprised at the celerity with
which when a bill has been sent down

Total appropriations by this session
are about $3.50. 900. 600. the greatest at any
session in historv. For the first time
the appropriations Of 1893. which paid for
the Spanish War, have been exceeded.
To say that this session has broken
records for being managed by the Presi-
dent is not a reflection on Congress.
When IL assembled last December Con-
gress had no policy, and the President
had a well defined one. He wanted:
Joint Statehood. which he got in a
modified form that is expected to defeat
his purpose.
Ratification Of the treaty for control
of the fiscal affairs of Santo Domingo.
which he did not get
Ratification of the Isle Of Pines treaty,
ceding the isle to Cuba, which he did
not get.
Legislation reducing the tariff rates
of Philippine products imported to this
country, which passed the House and
failed to get out of the Senate COM
mittee.
Railroad rate control legislation, which
he secured
Later the President added to this his
meat inspection program, which was
enacted into a law that did not meet his
approval as to important features, but
which he accepted as the best to be had
under the circumstances
The Railroad Rate Bill.
The Ereat and distinguishing achieve
ment of tho session was the passage of
the railroad rate bill. 1t originated in
the House, passed under the whip and
spur of a rule. and then was before the
Senate over four months before, in the
last hours, the conferees agreed, the
House accepted IT. and the Executive
signature was appended. The contest
over this bill VIII be historic.

NEW YORK. June So.-Two powerful
groups of attorneys-the one backed by
countless Pittsburg millions intent on
saving Harry X. Thaw from punishment
for the murder OF Stanford White on
the roof of the Madison Square Garden
last Monday night; the other group,
backed by all the machinery Of the law.
equally intent on sending him to the
chair-today began a struggle for the
possession as a witness of Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw, wife of the young slayer
From the first this woman, the cause

10 find a way TO take her from the ranks

owuld make her the accusing witness He
would force her to give testimony.
Prominent Men Involved.
On the word of former Judge OIcott.
the only man who has heard the young
wife tell her story, it viii be the most
astonishing in its revelations and the
most disastrous in its effects upon the
reputation of men prominent in this
community that has ever been heard
inside the walls of a court house
This statement was made today by
Judge Olcott, to whom Mrs Thaw made
confession of her relations with White.
Sworn Tales of Orgies.
For the time being. at least. the ac-
Fv.rrr
mitted by Thaw are submerged in the
amazing disclosures that have come to
light in the last few hours-discIosures
which deal with the so-called orgies of
a group of rich and influential men. Of
whom White Is alleged to have been the
acknowledged leader. Tales of matters
which have been whispered about the
Tenderloin since the shooting on the
top of Madison Square Garden have
now the backing of sworn evidence.
The result Of the investigation begun
Thursday at the district attorneys Of

Stanford White and his friends were
said to have followed is now known.
Cropping up unexpectedly In the dis

HALE ATTACKS THE PRnTERY
The Washington times., 1906-07-01

In the Senate Mr.. Hale made a violent
-rtack on the methods IN the Govern
ment Printing Office, blaming that
establishment IN no uncertain terms for
the way II does business. and especially
! for the fact that It had delayed adjourn
11ent. acording to Mr.. Hale's state
nents-
In the House It was pretty much a
continuous recess. and the performances
there can Justly be described by only
a dramatic critic. There were songs
approaching at times the volume and
sweetness OF grand opera, and sounding
at other times like the vaudeville stage
when the bright parodLst IS before the
footlights- John Sharp Williams. the
minority leader. climbed into the
Speakers chair during the recess and
presided while Handsome Hefin, OF
Alabama, and Chairman Hamilton, OF
the Territories Committee. told some
good stories for the benefit Of the House
and the galleries. where men in black
suits and women In gayly colored sum
mer gowns made q picturesque scene
Woke Up the Senate.
All this was n direct contrast to the
diguifed stiIInes that reigned in the
Senate until the lightning OF Senator
Hale's invective Illuminated the stage
setting He talked loudly and hotly and
said things calculated 10 wake up the
| people he was attacking.
Practically the only thing done in the
House last evening was the appoint
ment by the Speaker Of the committee
OF three TO join a similar committee
