THE LOYAL LEGION
Celebrates the gath Anniversary o.
the Order at Washington.

Washington. Feb. 2.-More than 500
members of the Military Order of the
Loyal Legion of the United States par
ticipated in their annual banquet here
Thursday night. This was the cath
anniversary of the order and great
enthusiasm was manifested as otasts
were drunk to Lincoln and Mckinley
and speakers referred to the brilliant
achievements of the founders of the
association.
Lieut.. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee acted az
toastmaster and after the comman-
derry had given silent toasts to The
Absent Companions, Vice Pres. Fair
banks responded to the toast Our
Country's Future.
The Vice President began his ad-
dress by reference to the late William
Mckinley and his love and devotion
to the Loyal Legion. He then took up
the subject Of his address and said in
part:
1.-The future Of our country? What
a magnificent theme Who short of
omnipotence could respond in fitting
degree to such a toast? No one of
this earth has the prophetic vision to
set the bounds of the future of the
United States of America. But I will
say this: The future of the United
States will be greater and more splen-
did because Of the heroic service rem
dered by you in the dark days of 81
and '65."

RAILROAD RATES IN SENATE.
Interstate Commerce Committee De
cides on Taking Vote on Feb. 10.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The Senate
committee on interstate commerce TO-
day reached an agreement to vote on
the various railroad rate bills on FEB.
IS. There are three mea sures beng
pressed for consideration, the Dolll-
YER Clapp bill, the Elkins bill and the
Foraker bill. The measure which re-
ceives the largest number Of votes
will be reported to the Senate as the
majority measure. 1t is likely that
both of the other bills will be given &c
the Senate III minority reports.
1t was agreed further that the COM
mittee shall meet Feb. 9, and from
then until the day fixed for vote
meet every day with view of deter
mining upon some bill.
The Hepburn House bill is expected
10 be before the Senate by that time
and that will furnish the basis for the
discussions of the COMMITTEES. The
authors CT the Senate bills will use
every effort to amend the House bill
so as to include many CT the provl-
sionS of their measure. This is true
particularly Of Senators Elkins and
Foraker, the Doliver-Clapp bill being
drawn on lines similar to the measure
pending in the House. 1t is thought
likely that the Hepburn bill with
mittee will receive a majority report.
This will not prevent the other bills
from being reported by the minority.

Mary Cook King who died two weeks

explains what became OF part OF Inc
$500. 900 estate left to her by her huS-
band, 20 years ago. The search was
conducted by J. p. Squibb, executor OF
Mrs. Kings estate.
There were no children born TO the
Kings and when Mrs. King came out
of mourning two years after her hus-
band's death it was found she had de-
yeloped an eccentricity of character
bordering on insanity. She discharged
all her servants; she had the windows
and doors of her home iron barred and
she refused to receive visitors. She
grew worse and at the end of four
years, about 1859, it was thought best
to send her to a SanatOrium.
At the time she was promised that no
one should enter her home until after
her death. When the court appointed a
committee for her estate it was impos-
sible to find more than $4,000 in bank
and she refused to tell what had be-
come of the rest. There was then no
thought of searching the mouse.
Mrs. King died two weeks ago and by
her will Mr.. Squibb was appointed eX-
ecutor.
When the legal details were finished
he began search for the securities and
on Thursday he turned the key in the
rusty lock and entered the house. The
astonishing discovery was then made.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Speaker Cannon
today made public the census bureau
figures On unginned cotton Immediately
after the House was called to order.
The total amount of unginned cotton
shown by the report is 231.So4 bales,
with 1913 ginneries unhcard from. This
publication was in accordance with the
Sims resolution passed by the House
requiring Director North of the census
bureau to furnish to Congress all data
on unSinned cotton of the crop OF 1905,
collected before Jan. 16.
In an argument as to how the report
should be presented. Speaker Cannon
referred to the figures as miSinfornlt-
ton rather than information and said
they were based on partial returns and
of little value.
Officials of the department Of cont
merce and labor hurried the report II
the Capitol as they did not wish to be
responsible for delay and it arrived in
time to be placed in the Speakers
charge before the House took up the
days work. Under orders from The
Speaker. Il clerk in the public docu-
ment room read the figures for Il large
group OF members of the House and
newspaper men who were eagerly
awaiting the totals in the report.
Southern members expressed much
dissatisfaction with the figures anC
said they We're far from the truth
Members from the Northern cottor
mills districts were equally harsh il
their criticisms of the totals and de-
clared the ginneries unheard from
might make radical difference in the
figures.

Russell explained this assertion in de-

democratic members of the committee.
The majority bill authorized the commits
