Ten MEMBERS
Of the House Arrested
at Order of Speaker
Cannon in Order to
Secure a Quorum.

Washington, May 28-For the first
time in many years the sergeant-at-
arms of the house actually arrested
absentees and hauled them before the
bar of the house this morning
1t was all due to Speaker Cannon
becoming tired of having the point of
no quorum raised at the end of each
days session and then having to wait
for the absentees to come in and
record themselves as they choose.
Late today it developed that quor-
um was not present. Speaker Cannon
ordered the doors closed. Issuing a
batch of warrants he started the ser
geant-at-arms and his assistants out
to make arrests. Many members
showed up voluntarily the hotels hav-
ing been notified by. phone. Ten mem
bers were brought in under arrest.
They were led up to the bar and the
sergeant-at-arms announced that he
bad Representative ---- under ar
rest. Upon motion each member was
then discharged and then permitted
to vote. A little bit of chap, an as
sistant sergeant-at-arms brought in
"Cy" Sulloway, of New Hampshire,
six feet seven inches in height and
weighing 300 pounds. The giant of
the house took his arrest good ma
turedly and instead of being led up to
the bar virtually carried his captor to
the great auditorium of the house.
Representative Wallace Of Arkansas
was arrested, but it developed that he
had already voted and had been cap
tured while attempting to escape.
John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee
and Representative Buckman of Min
nesota, were the only two arrested
who objected, but their objections did
not CO.

ElKINS4 !
Made Chairman of the
Railroad Rate Confer
ence by Senate and
House Conferees.

Washington, May 2S.-At the meet
Ing of the senate and house conferees
on the railroad rate bill this afternoon
Mr.. Ell1ins was made chairman of the
conference. 1t was decided to have
the first real business meeting tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock and to keep
at the work with as little intermission
as possible.
Mr.. Hepburn, the author of the bill,
held himself in reserve and said lit
tie. The talking for the house was
done by Messrs. Sherman and Rich
ardson.
1--WE will accept the senate anti-pass
amendment" said the two house con-
ferees in chorus.
please do not do this" said Mr..
Tillman, save the senate from the
disgrace it has brought on itself"
The anti-pass amendment is the
most grotesque piece of legislation
ever seen at the capitol. 1t is the
intention Of all concerned to rewrlte
and reduce the number of exceptions
The question of providing equal ac-
commodation for all those paying
equal charges was also discussed
This involves the Jim Crow laws OF
the southern states.

LIFE SAVERS
Rescued Grew on Lake
Erie as Result Of Severe
Storm Yesterday-One
Man Drowned.

Cleveland, o., May 2S.-The north
easter which swept Lake Erie today
was one of the most severe that has
been seen here in years. Boats al!
along the lake are lying outside today
rather than try to enter the smaller
ports during the storm. Boats did not
try to enter Huron or Ashtabula and
only few came into Cleveland.
The schooner Mabel Wilson foun-
dered off the port of Cleveland and
one man, her wheelman, known as
Fred, was drowned. The rest of the
crew was rescued, by, the life savers
after a perilous and difficult expert
ence. The Wilson was bound down
with ore and was towed by the steam
er Elphicke.
Believing it hazardous to attempt to
enter the harbor alone, the Wilson
dropped anchor and the Elphicke sig
nailed for help. BY the time the tugs
and the life savers reached the scene
the Wilson had sprung a leak and
was being dashed about by the waves.
Unable to save her the life savers
took the crew off. Captain Gotham
and Mates Gotham and Gunnison were
badly hurt. The drowned man would
have been saved but for a slip. When
he saw the vessel going he jumped
for the rigging, but missed his hold
and was washed overheard.

PROTEST
Filed Against Assess
ment by Residents Of
Sewer District No. !.
Charges to be Investi-
gates.

The residents and taxpayers in sew
er district No. 1 presented a protest
against the payment of the assessments
made on all the real estate and prop
erty in that district in the council
last night. Council Fred Saunders, OF
the third ward, read the protest which
charges that gross errors were con-
tained in the assessment and that
large sums of money had been charged
to the premises which do not properly
constitute part of the legitimate
expenses incurred. Among the items
included that are said to be erron-
eous are premiums on bonds amount
ing to $212.50. Estimates which are
said to have been paid twice to John
Skeeles amounting to $45.6S. The
engineers report, the amount claimed
to be in excess of the legitimate rate
is claimed to amount to $7S742.
1t is further charged that no assess
ment is made with the frontage Of
Nimisila park on Rider street which
is said to amount to $3.50; no charges
made upon the frontage of the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie railroads property
in the sewer district and payment for
underdrain, provided in the agree
ment to be done by the contractor IS
claimed to be erroneous, amounting
to $3940.81. 1t is also charged that
the amount paid for lumber left in
the trenches for which no allowance
should have been made amounts to
$419.50. This matter has been brewing
for long time and the question was
referred to the committee on sewers
and City Solicitor Day by the council
last night who promised to make full
and fair investigation and report their
findings to the council at an early
date.

CASSAT I
To be Asked Why Order
for Engines was Can
ceIled When Shippers,
Not Favored, Had Inn
portant Orders.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 2S.-Mere
graft" and the methods of gathering
it as employed by certain officers and
employees of the Pennsylvania railroad
company in charge of the distribution
of cars to the coal operators. will
form a comparatively Insignificant
part, If any, of the inquiry conducted
by the interstate commerce commits
sion when it's hearings are resumed.
The evils of private ownership or
cars are to be taken up and inyesti-
gated fully.
In view of the expected return OF
President Cossatt wishes to appear
urday, 1t was thought that the commits
sion would resume it's hearings here.
But today it was given out that the
approaching sitting would be held IN
Washington, probably early next
week.
Acting upon the suggestion that
President Cassatt wishes to appear
voluntarily, the commission, 1t is un-
derstoed, will take no, action to COM
pei his presence, but should he not
respond to the commissions passive
or implied invitation it is very poss:-
BILE that subpoena will be issued.
A LEADING QUESTION.
There is one question which the COM
mission is particularly desirous OF
putting to Mr.. Cassatt and that is why
was an order for 500 engines placed
with the Baldwin Locomotive works
cancelled by him about one and
half years ago, at a time when the
distribution of cars was so curtailed
as to seriously embarrass many ship
pers not among the favored, who had
important contracts to fulfill.
This will be an important aid to
the operators who are preparing 70
bring suits against the Pennsylvania
railroad company for alleged discrim-
! nations in the distribution of cars
said prominent shipper, for we can
prove conclusively that at the time the
order for 500 locomotives was rescind-
ed, the Berwind White and the Key
stone companies were moving their
coal to Tidewater and other big mar
kets, while we unfavored shippers had
little or no show, the car distribu-
tors giving us to understand that they
had cars all right for us according to
our pro rata allotment, but lacked the
necessary motive power"
