 Has Good Chance
SOME CHANGES WILL BE MADE
Underwood Argues for Restriction of Immigration and Some Measure Will Probably be Favora-
 bly Reported Soon.

Washington, February 13.-(Special)- While Secretary of War Taft. Speaker Cannon and Chairman Burton of the rivers and harbors committee were in conference in the Speakers room today about the course they intended should be pursued on a measure pending before the House, Representative Richardson of Alabama solved the problem for them and announced to the Speaker and his surprised conferees that the matter was settled.
 Nine days ago Representative Richard son secured the passage of his bill au- thorizing a company to erect power dams on the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals. Ala. The bill was sent to the President and he announced after conference with Secretary Taft and MT. Burton that 1t was his intention to veto it. This morn ing Secretary Taft came to the capitol and had a talk with Mir. Richardson, inform- ing him that the President would veto the bill unless certain. amendments were added The only thing left to be done was to pass through the House and Sem ate today resolution recalling the bill in order that the veto could be avoided, otherwise, tomorrow being the tenth day. the bill would become law without the Presidents signature Representative Richardson and Secretary Taft went over on the Senate side and few minutes afterward Senator Morgan put the reso- lution through the Senate.
 Return to House Side.
 They returned to the House side and the Secretary said he would see the Speaker about 1t. MT. Cannon sent for Chairman Burton and for a quarter of an hour they discussed the measure, h the meantime the House was lnathe com mlttee of the whole considering the forti- ications bill. MT. Richardson explained to the chairman how important 1t was that the resolution be passed by the House today and the chairman consented to va- cate. Representative Olmsted of Penn l sylvania, who usually takes the Speakers l place during his absence was told what was up, and the committee of the whole promptly rose and Speaker Olmsted took the chair MT Richardson called up his l resolution, explained 1t to the members | of the House. and few minutes after ward 1t passed, the House in committee l resuming consideration of the appropria- | tion bill
 MT. Richardson then called at the Speakers room.
 "The resolution has passed" said he.
 Passed the Senate?' said Secretary 1 Taft.
 Yes, and the House, too' said MT. l Richardson.
 "What?" exclaimed the Speaker, Seere- tary Taft and Chairman Burton in unl- son. MT, Richardson then explained how 1t was accomplished and the Speaker acknowledged that the joke was on him., and handed to the Alabama member one of his big cigars on the table.
 The bill will now be amended to suit 1 the Presidents objections and will prob- 1 ably become law. The amendment Is to 1 confine the dams from the head of the i canal on the east to the foot of the canal on the west, on the south side of ! the Tennesse river.

GAINES WANTS THE
 ELEVATORS TO RUN
OBJECTS TO SPENDING MILLIONS FOR NAVAL STATIONS WHEN COURT OFFICIALS HAVE TO CLIMB UPSTAIRS.

Washington, February 13.-The fortitica- tions appropriation bill held the atten- ton of the House today, and was the text over the lax methods of expenditure of public moneys and second over the loca- tion of the proposed s15,000,OO0 naval sta- ton for the Philippines.
 MT. Gillespie of Texas made an unsuc- cessful attempt to get into the Record a statement of grievances of the coal op- orators and shippers of Pennsylvania, and the democratic leader, MT. Williams, inau- gurated flibuster over the question of adjournment as a retaliation.
 MT. Smith of Iowa, in charge of the for tifications bill, advanced the idea of visualizing the findings of the committees of the House charged with supervision of expenditures in the various government departments. He advocated an amendment to the rules which will compel reports from these committees annually. these reports to be the result of investigation regarding government expenditures. He urged this as a preventive of "bureau- cracy'' towards which he saw political tendency.
 Dollars dollars, dollars" ejaculated MT. Gaines of Tennessee. q have been here all day and have heard nothing but dollars and expenditures. We are spend- ing millions to make great fort out of the Philippines when only last week the Secretary of the Treasury stopped forty elevators in the custom houses of this country because we did not appropriate enough money to run them. Why do you do it?
 You are spending the peoples tax money in the Philippines and making government officers climb upstairs"

Lincoln's Youth
AND
Early Manhood
By WARD HILL LAMON,
His Friend. Intimate and
Bodysuard

.The next day was speaking at Ber-.
lin. He went from my house with DR..
Barnett, the man that had asked me
who this man Lincoln was. 1 told him
that he was a candidate for the legisla-
ture He laughed and said, Can't the
party raise no better material than
that?' l said, Go tomorrow and hear
all before you pronounce Judgment
When he came back I said, Doctor,
what say you nowT Why, SIR said he,
he is a perfect take in. He knows
more than all of them put together
Lincoln got 1876 votes. Dawson
1870, Carpenter Ito, Stuart 1.164.
Lincoln was at last duly elected a rep

cuniary means necessary to maintain
his new dignity. In this extremity he
had recourse to an old friend named

men of humanity In all that country)
YES" replied Smoot, "and 1 am
equally disappointed, for expected to
see a good looking man when / saw
you"
A few neat compliments like the fore
going laid the foundation Of lasting
intimacy between the two men, and In
his present distress Lincoln knew nc
Smoot to respond favorabIy to an appH-
cation for money.
'sAfter he was elected to the legisla.
ture," says Mr.. Smoot, .'he came to my
house one day in company with Hugh
Armstrong Says he, 'Smoot, did you
vote for me-? I told him did We'll,
says he, you must loan me money tc
buy suitable clothing, for I want to
make a decent appearance in the legis-
lature' I then loaned him $500, which
he returned to me according to prom
ise''
The interval between the election
and his departure for the seat of gov.
ernment was employed by Mr. Lincoln
partly in reading, partly in writing.
Community Of Freethinkers.
The community in which he lived was
pre-eminently a community of free.
thinkers In matters Of religion, and it
was then no secret, nor has it been a
secret since, that Mr.. Lincoln agreed
with the majority Of his associates in
denying to the Bible the authority of
divine revelation. It was his honest be-
lief, belief which it was no reproach
to hold at New Salem, Ammo Domini
1884, and one which he never thought
of concealing. It was no distinction,
either good or bad, no honor and no
shame. But he had made himself thor
oughly familiar with the writings Of
Paine and Volney-the Ruins by one
and ''The Age Of Reason" by the other
His mind was full of the subject, and
he felt an itching to write. He did
write, and the result was q little book
1t was probably merely an extended
essay, but it is ambitiously spoken of
as "a book" by himself and by the per-
sons who were made acquainted with
its contents. In this work he intended
to demonstrate
''Ffrst, that the Bible was not Gods
revelation; and,
Secondly, that Jesus was not the
Son of God"
No leaf Of this little volume has sur
vtved. Mr.. Lincoln carried it in manu-
script to the store Of Mr. Samuel Hill,
where it was read and discussed. Hill
was himself an unbeliever, but his son
considered this book Infamous. It is
more than probable that Hill, being
warm personal friend of Lincoln, fear
ed that the publication Of the essay
would some day interfere with the po-
litical advancement of his favorite. At
all events, he snatched it out of his
hand and thrust it into the fire, from
which not a shred escaped.
