BABCOCK is CHEERED
ON STATEHOOD BILL

LEGISLATION
Grosvenor Roasts Civil Service Sys'
tenn and Says Life Tenure in Of

Based
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The sec
ond day of general debate on the legis-
lative bill developed limited discussion
of the retirement of aged clerks, in
terspersed with a speech on statehood
by Mr.. Babcock Of Wisconsin, one on
the restriction of immigration by Mr..
Gardner of Massachusetts, and pre-
sentation of reasons why jurisdiction
of the federal courts should be restrict
ed in certain cases where its jurisdic-
ton was acquired because of the citi-
zens of the litiSants being in different
states.
Mr. Babcock said the house bill on
statehood was one of the greatest
legislative outrages ever enacted; that
the senate had properly amended the
bill, and he favored the senate amend
ment.
He dwelt at length on the reasons
why Arizona and New Mexico should
not be united as one state.
Applause on both sides of the cham
ber greeted Mr.. Babcock's conclusion
Announcing that he wished to discuss
the civil service OF the government, Mr.
Grosvenor remarked that one-half the
money that is spent annually to sup
port the civil service would supply
needed public buildings and provide
for ship subsidy which after two years
would put more money into the treas
ury than 1t took out.
Life tenure of office" he said, that
is the principle upon which the pres
ent system is based"

Baron Six Times
BY Assoclated Press

BERLIN, March 14.-Hennig, a mar
riage broker, whose swindling, mur-
ders and other acts of violence, and
his bold escapes. have given the Ger
mans many thrills during the last three
months, was captured at Stettin today
after he had shot a policeman. The
capture was made by a butcher, who
will be made well-to-do, owing to the
aggregate of the rewards offered for
Hennigs capture.
Hennig is accused among other al
legged crimes of having decoyed a bar
tender named Giernoth to the forest
of Grunenwald, near Berlin, and there
murdered him. Afterwards he is al
legged to have impersonated Giernoth
and hypothecated his property. Hen
mig also is charged with having shot
a Berlin policeman.
When arrested today he was fleeing
over housetops while being chased by
the police and others, who were trying
to capture him for attacking an aged
and wealthy land owner, Baron Sit
wise, in railroad car.
Hennig shot the baron six times,
without killing, however, and escaped
from a moving train.
