Washington, March 27-The house today witnessed a most unusual scene, the speaker rising on the floor in the midst of a spirited discussion on reel procity and tariff revision and dis claiming responsibility for the differ ences between the minority members.

There was a buzz of expectancy all over the house. The republicans gathered about the chair democrats crowded the aisles and it was a highly dramatic moment when the speaker, himself pale but car rying a look of grim determination. said in voice that reached every cor ner of the chamber: If it affords him CMr. ShackleforO any consolation to make me a stalking horse on account of his quarrel with the minority leader well and good
 Applause ran through the hall which was hushed by the chairman's deter mined effort not to let the house get away from the point at issue.

 Detective MacParland, Detective Tniel, Governor Gooding. Warden Whitney of the penitentiary, the trav- cling guard Robbins and two news paper men were in the party.
 Adams, in his confession, stated he was sent by Haywood and Mover to PocatellO to intercept a carload of non-union men being sent from COuer D'Alene to Colorado. He was. he says, directed to kill the entire lot and ex- pected to do so with the Greek fire. This was to be thrown into the car, where it would immediately envelop everything with fire that nothing would extinguish. He had two quart bottles and three small ones. The car of union men did not come through as expected, and after waiting good while the plan was given up Adams then buried the stuff in an old building that had been used as a saw mill, packing the bottles in a tin can.
 A special to the Statesman from Po- catello. says the place is now used as a stable, and Adams is digging up the floor to find the cache. One glass stopper has been found, which Adams thinks belongs to one of the small hotties

POSTAL SERVICE
NEEDS BETTER MEN

Washington, Dec. 2S--In his annual
report made public yesterday First
Assistant Postmaster General Hitch
cock says that the low salaries paid
clerks in the first and second class
postoffices is decreasing the standard
of efficiency 1t is impossible, he says,
to induce efficient men to enter this
branch of the service when the salary
to begin with is but 5000 per year,
with no certainty of promotion for
perhaps several years.
There has been an increase of more
than $1S,000,000 in the amount of do
nestle and more than $5000,000 in for
eign money orders issued during the
year over the one preceding. OF the
SO 900, 900 orders issued during the
year but one in 166,260 was found to
have been paid or repaid incorrectly.
A new money order blank is to be in
troduced before the close of the fiscal
year. which is calculated 10 prevent
fraud in raising the amount of the
original order.
While the number of undelivered
letters which found their way to the
dead letter office during the year was
smaller than during the previous year,
the number of undelivered letters with
valuable enclosures greatly increased.
The general prosperity of the country
is given as one reason; another is the
suppression by the department of con-
ce ms using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. Mail for such concerns con
timing money, money orders and com
lnercial paper was received at the
dead letter office in unusual quantities.
Nearly 1000 900 pieces of mail were
received at the dead letter office dur
ing the year.

Tisdel, who is in partnership with his
father in Scranton's leading gun shop,
was arrested yesterday on suspicion
of robbing Kilberg's jewelry store
Thursday night, and after being taken
to police headquarters he confessed.
He returned five watches and some
silverware, but denied all knowledge
of a bag containing $500 worth OF dia-
monds, which Kilberg alleges was
taken with the rest of the plumber.
The night of the burglary, an over
coat belonging to Assistant City Con-
troller Morris was taken from an ad-
joining tailor shop. Yesterday, Morris
recognized the coat on Tisdel. He
notified the police, with the result
that they found the coat and the other
booty in Tisdel's store. Tisdel has
hitherto been looked upon as an up
right citizen and reputable business
man.
