term for a woman who kept such n

Colleagues Give Rspt Attention to Ven.
+. cradle Msa.'s Rste Speech.
Washington, Jan. 9.-Senator Nor,
gan, speaking on his railroad rate bill
today, enjoyed the triumph of his de-
clining years. He was intently list
ened to for nearly an hour. The
Alabama Senator is recognized as one
of the best constitutional lawyers Of
the body, and the whole Senate, ap.
parently of one accord, gathered
around the old man.
There was next to him his collea-
que, the venerable Senator Pettus,
who sat with uplifted eyes from. begin
ming to end and never lost a word.
Aldrich went over to the Democratic
side and sat there throughout the
speech. Spooner. sat across the aisle
in rapt attention. Dolliver went over
on the Democratic side and sat side
by side with Knox. Foraker picked
his way down to the front row ;of
seats and faced Morgan to the end.
German, Hale, Allison, Frye, Kean
and nearly all the Interstate COM
merce Committee sat close and list
ened.
The argument was simply that
courts, and not commissions, under
the Constitution, have the essential
power to regulate rates. The inher-
ent original jurisdiction of the United
States Supreme Court was cited as
exemplifying tie source to which now
Congress should look for constitution
al regulation Of railroad rates.
The conservative ground taken by
Senator Morgan was what interested
the Senate. 1t was clear that what
he said was well received by Senators
who want to vote for . rate bill, but
are not entirely convinced of the vari-
GUS measures that have been ad-
vanced.

PRESIDENT. AGAIN RIFLES HOUSE
Exposure Of Use Of Money In S;steh ood
Fiaht Hits Home.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 10
Fresh Indignation against White
House interference in legislative af-
fairs was aroused today, even among
supporters of the Statehood bill, by
the report that the President told
members of the Missouri delegation
on Friday that money was being used
in Washington to defeat the bill and
create confusion among House Re.
publicans. This report was denied at
the White House today, but it, is sig
nificant that members of the Missouri
delegation who heard the Presidents 8
remarks refused either to deny or con-
firm it.
There is little doubt money is being
spent to defeat the two-State bill.
One of the largest lobbies known in
Washington for years is here working
energetically to prevent its passage in
the form in which it is expected to be
reported from the House Committee
on Territories. This lobby is support.
ed by an organization which for
months has been promoting meetings
in Arizona and sending out literature
hostile to the joining of Arizona and
New Mexico and admitting them as
one State.
A member of Congress who has
been conspicuous in the fight for joint
Statehood is quoted as saying he could
be worth $500, 900 today if he had
accepted propositions made to him to
let him in OH the ground floor of vari-
Gus mining deals that have since
turned out good things.

DARE NOT CLEAN IN MUTUAL
Costly Committee Falls to Enforce lis
Recommendation.

New York, Jan, l5.-The Mutual
Life Insurance Company's house
| cleaning committee has made four re.
ports to the Board of Trustees. Bank.
ing houses with alliances which reach
into the Mutual are, informed that
these reports recommend radical &C.
ton against some of the trustees and
officers prominently identified with
the McCurdy administration. Hav-
ing made these reports the Truesdale
Committee hns done nothing to have
their recommendations carried out.
The reports were referred by the
trustees to the president of the com.
pany. He has done nothing except
to refer the matter to outside counsel.
As the Truesdale Committee has
four high priced lawyers on its staff
who advised the Recommendations,
and sa the Mutual maintains a very
expensive legal department, the &C.
ton of President Peabody in seeking
the services of still another lawyer is
regarded as peculiar. The bills for
legal services in connection with the
la5ors of the Truesdale Committee
promise to reach an enormous figure.
They will Be paid out of the funds Of
the policyholders.
Henry H. Rogers, of the Standard
oil, is now regarded as the dominant
force in everything pertaining to the
Mutual Life and until he gives the
word it is generally believed that
genuine reform in the company will
be held in allegiance.

FOR . Eouh8 man ~hth money.
II were young man with a certain
amount OF capital and desirous to In
crease It at the expense of fools, ]
should become dealer in pictures and
In works Of art. The prices paid at
auctions for such articles by q few
dealers bidding against each other are
abused. although vast number of
very wealthy fools who purchase them
from dealers are ready to pay still
higher. The mere fact that some
article has been sold in an auctieu
room at q high price attracts theta.
and they buy 1t from the dealer at n
higher one In order to be able to point
to 1t In their houses and to tell their
friends how much 1t cost them. The
dealer consequently makes much
money by acting as q middleman.
Whether there is any arrangement to
run up the price among dealers l do
not know, but l have always Won
