Washington, Feb. 23.-Congressman
Fletcher, Postmaster Hale and Wallace
Nye were before the house committee
on public buildings and grounds for
nearly an hour today, arguing for favor
able action on Fletcher g bill for new
public building at Minneapolis. After
submitting figures showing the growth
OF postal business, they were questioned
closely by members of the committee Of
the probable cost Of site and it's loca-
ton. ',-.,.-' -: - -. :.
The result Of this questioning was a
specific request for an appropriation of
5000, 900 for the purchase Of site some
where in the vicinity Of the proposed
site of Union station. ts. ~
While the members Of the committee
would not count themselves on the
proposition, it is conceded / that, the
sentiment Of the ma ority is against Civ
ing Minneapolis any relief at this time,
because of appropriations made in recent
years for extensions Of the old federal
building, and the necessity for keeping
the total Of the public building bill il
reasonable limits.
Major Hale and Congressman Fletch.
er will see First Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock late today, and will
urge an allowance Of funds sufficient
for salaries Of twenty carriers and fif
teen clerks in the postofice. Major

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Citizens Of Chica-

brutal attacks on women have been
made during the winter, four churches
have taken up the fight with fresh ener-
gy., Members. of these congregations
have been held up, beaten and killed by
robbers or degenerates.
b. These churches will hold mass meet

what further means can be taken to
drive thugs from the city and make
safe the streets. The four pastors will
preach in the morning on "Crinle in

WaSnlnRCOn, FeD. ~2S.-Ihe senate
committee on interstate commerce con-
vened at Hap O'Clock today for the
purpose Of V on the Hepburn rail
was delayed by a conference Of the
democratic members to determine their
attitude on the question Of court re-
view feature. The conference decided
that the minority members should stand
as unit to transfer the bill from the
and that this action should not commit
any of the members to support or op-
pose an meDdment for judicial review
Of orders Of the commission. ~.
Recess Is Taken. :
At 1915 the committee took a re-
ces until 9 clock. It was understood
that the recess was in order to give
the democratic members further oppor-
tunity for consultation. All minor
amendments offered to the Hepburn bill
were voted down during the forenoon
session. H.
It was the opinion Of both sides that
the Hepburn bill would be reported.
Senator Dolliver expressed the opinion
that the report would be authorized by
Elkins said:
"They have got the votes to report
the Hepburn bill. ~ ~
s.. Precipitated by Dolliver. ,..
The recess was brought about by a
motion of Senator Dolliver to report
the Hepburn bill without amendment.
He had produced a telegram from Sen
ator Cullom giving instructions to cast
his vote against any amendments, that
were not adopted unanimously by the
committee. Members fatoring amend

ported favorably without amendment.
That is a specific motion and I shall

in the affirmative x 3,
The democratic members desired-time
for conference and the recess was taken.
Senators Tillman, McLarin, Foster and
Newlands then withdrew for a CONSUL

Democrats Confer.
After the democratic members Of the
| interstate commerce committee had con.
ferred it was developed that they would
vote to report the Hepburn bill without
amendment, but different members
would reserve {, the right to- support
amendments when the bill was consid.
cred in the senate. ISIS.
Another point that is to be settled
in committee is the personality Of the
man who shall report the bill. Nat
urally it is supposed that Senator Dol
liver would be selected, but there is
opposition to according him that honor
and it may be that some other member
will be selected. 1t is quite possible
that Chairman Elkins may be author
lied to report the bill On the ground
that as members of the committee
make reservations as to amendments
it does not represent the majority
view Of any faction or leader in the
committee. III. 49,.
The main point, however, is that the
Hepburn bill is to be reported.

MUSIC BY A BLIND GIRL.
Fifteen Year Old Alice HaIlowell Pro-
nOunced q Prodigy.

HARTFORD, March s.-Alice Hallower, q
ffteen-year-old pupil at the kindergarten
for the blind in this city, is pronounced a
musical prodigy. She is a skilful pianist.
a singer Of promise and a composer. She
has just published a polka from the sale
of which she hopes to get money to help
her in getting a musical education.
Ever since she came to this city six years
ago from her home in Windsor Locks she
has been devotedly fond Of music. All her
spare time has been given to studying
music. She reads music as quickly a. a
singer who has the advantage Of eyesight.
She reads by the Braille system Of notation,
and having onoe learned q composition has
no trouble in singing it.
Her voice is a soprano with a range two
and q half octaves and in the light tones
she can sing c natural, although her teach
ers here prefer that she shall not sing above
A fiat, until she grows older, for fear OF
straining her voice.
She can quickly name a chord when
struck on the piano, tell the notes that
compos it and whether played by the right
or left hand. Her skill and power of mem
o4Hing are shown by the fact that she can
sing and play the accompaniment to Men
delssohn's "On Songs Bright Pinions" and
various other classical songs.
Personally, the blind girl is attractive
She is slender and does not look is years
old. She Is frail, and her golden hair seems
to aooentuate this. She has an intelligent
face.
One Of her companions and friends at
the school is Tonic Manthu Of Waterbury,
who although only 10 has surpassed her In
piano playing. The two children make a
remarkable pair.
