Thousands of Dollars Paid Out in Fines
and Fares During Past
Six Years.

The belief that a criminal, no matter
how great his crime has left within
him a sense OF honor to those who hold
out a helping hand, IS confirmed to a
certain extent by cold facts registered
on the books Of the Prisoners Aid So
ciety of the District. whose efforts are
devoted 70 the relief OF first Offenders
and beginners in the school Of crime.
After a career covering six years the
society finds that it has paid out in fines
and fares $50. 0.95251. OF this amount
SlS.5f II has been returned to the So
ciety by those TO whom II was extended
as a loan. This is but little more than
9lk per cent of the entire investment
lost. Thousands Of dollars have been
saved to the District Of Columbia
through the work Of the society in care
for the prisoners and costs Of trials and
convictions.

POST OFFICE BILL PASSED.
II Carries a Total OF SlBI sos .S4S-Two
Weeks Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The post office
appropriation bill for the year ending June
80, 1907. carrying a total of SOL 1893 ,sis,
was passed by the HOUSE of Representatives
to-day at the close OF a protraoted session
and after nearly two weeks consideration.
After forty minutes discussion on the
item Of SLAP, $50 "for necessary and special
facilities on trunk lines from Washington
to Atlanta and New Orleans" Mr.. Moons
motion to strike it out was defeated, lol
to 100.
Mr.. Smith Of Iowa offered an amendment
constituting the law governing second class
matter by directing the admission to the
privileges of that class publications in the
interest Of schools, churches and charities.
These, he said, had been barred from, the
mails by the same administration which
admitted the Police Neus. Toun Topics,

1T is said that these are not newspapers, '
said Mr.. Smith. THAT may he 80, / am not
acquainted accurately with the require
ments that go to make a newspaper. but l
submit, sir, that the Christian plan OF saliva
ton is news to a generation that buys ana

Mr.. Smith said he had had a bill 10 secure
the relief suggested pending. before the
Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads
since before the holidays, but nothing had
been lone with it. Unless it were granted
now in the way proposed, Mr.. Smith said,
the cries Of orphans would come up in judg-
ment a gainst those who defeated the amend
ment.
The amendment was ruled out on a point
of order,
The paragraph denying to campaign
| committees the Use Of a Congressman's
frank for the collection Of literature was
permitted to remain in the bill, no point OF
order being made against it.
The bill was then reported to the House
and Mr.. Moon OF Tennessee moved to re-
commit it with instructions to strike Out
the appropriation for special and neces-
sary facilities" which failed by the close
vote of 90 to 90. The bill was then passed
and the House adjourned until tomorrow.

PLEADS FOR o
Mr.. WorthlngtOn Makes Closing Argument
for the Utah Senator.

wv NV WON
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Arguments of
counsel in the Smoot case before the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections closed
to-day with the speech of A. 8. Worthington
for Senator Smoot. Mr.. Worthington con-
tended that there were two points involved in
the ~case-frst, the power Of the Senate to
add to the constitutional qualifications OF a
Senator, and (second) as to whether a Sena-
tor, ha wing been seated, could be unseated
by anything less than a two-thirds vote.
As to the former, he said, it was a matter
for the Senate to decide. not for the COM
mittee as to the second, he cited the reports
of the ma iority and minority of the House
Committee on Elections in the Brigham
Roberts case, both of which held that two
thirds would be necessary TO unseat a MEM
Der once seated.
He ca lled attention to the casa of ex-
Senator Roach, which was dismissed by
the Senate on the ground that the offence
was committed before he ca me TO the Sen
ate. He commended that the Senate should
be slow to deprive a State Of its representa-
ton.
He defended Smoot, whose life had been
above reproach. He said Mr.. Carlisle had
given no reason why Senator Smoot should
be expelled. He contended that the action

ployees of the Capitol maintenance de-
partment we're in n conspiracy to defraud
the State in connection with the theft OF
coal which the State had purchased under

the District Attorneys office appeared
at the Capitol and ~subpenaed some six
teen employees to appear at an investiga-
ton which the District Attorney will have
made before an Albany county Grand Jury
next Tue sday. 1t is not known how much
coal has been stolen or how long the thefts
have beer going on, but the authorities
are of the opinion that the matter will
not assume large proportions. The in .
vestigation is in the shape Of John Doe
proceedings and no one is accused at this
stage. When asked regarding the matter

Of Indiana, chairman Of the Democratic
national committee, as optimistic and as
cheerful as ever. arrived in Washington

to make a prediction that tho Democrats

y think | see indications all along the
line that we are to have a Democratic
House next time" he added. If We can
secure the House, the party will, l am
sure, take new courage and press forward
to a national victory in 1908"
Mr.. Taggart was busy all day sounding
Democratic party leaders here, among them
Representative Griggs OF Georgia, the
Hearst Democrat who has been placed
at the head of the Democratic campaign
committee. Chairman Taggart said that
it was the intention Of the national COM
mittee to cooperate with the Congress
committee in the coming campaign.
1T Is too early TO talk about candidates
in 1905" said Mr.. Taggart. We must
attend TO the business in hand, and it will
then be time enough to talk about Presi-
dental candidates.

Cable Company, an English corporation,

action of the United States army and navy
during the Spanish. American war.
On the request OF Mr., Lodge il was re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Rela
tons, The President and Secretary Of
State recommended that the claim, amount
ing to about $4,000. be paid.
There is considerable opposition in the

Of the continued refusa' Of the British
Government, to pay similar claims sub
m tied in the past on behalf Of American
citizens.
