MONEY FOR INQUIRY
RESOLUTION AND BILL INTRODUCE
 ED IN HOUSE.
GiIIIspIe Declares That the Truth and the Truth Only Is Wanted from
 Alleged Members of MOnopOly.

Washington, March 9.-A resolution and a bill designed to cure the defects President Roosevelt pointed out in the Tillman resolution for the investiga- tion by the interstate commerce com mission of railroad discriminations and monopolies were introduced today In the House. The resolution was intro duced by Representative Townsend of Michigan, and the bill by Representa- tive Gillespie of Texas. MT. Town sends resolution provides an appropri- ation of S50,000 to carry on the inves- tigation and the Gillespie bill makes an appropriation of $10O.000 for the same purpose.
 The Townsend resolution provides that the interstate commerce commis- sion under the Tillman- Gillespie reso- lution shall have power to subpoena witnesses, to compel them to testify and to produce documentary evidence, which it enjoys under the interstate commerce act. It also provides that witnesses shall enjoy the same rights and immunities in this investigation that they enjoy under the interstate commerce commission act. Similar provisions are made in the Gillespie bill
 Under the Gillespie bill the inter state commerce commission is permit ted to avoid the duplication of inves- legations
 In explanation of his bill and in reply to objections offered by the President to the Tillman resolution. Mir. Gillespie said today:
 T am glad the President signed the resolution and that the same has be- come law, although in doing so he sent q message to Congress that will, I fear, defeat the quick results that otherwise might have been reached by the commission in the investigation which the resolution provides. His message conveys to the guilty parties a | doubt as to it's power to compel the production of books and papers. Of course, they will take advantage of this | doubt and urge 1t against every stel | the commission may take
 Of the Presidents objection that if | the investigation were carried on to | the full extent of its provisions, il might cause immunity from punish | ment to those guilty of the unlawful conspiracy. Gillespie said;
 l T must say that 1 do not think any of these high criminals are trembling 1 in their boots from fear of lmprison- | ment as things are DOW, and If all ol | them should escape Imprisonment bN rushing to the commission and un' | becoming themselves, we would see jus
 as many frenzied financiers in jail as il no investigation had been held. Be
 sides. we ought to give the commission
 the benefit of the doubt on the question that they, officials of the Government are interested in the enforcement O
 criminal laws and that they would no
 be willing to take any step that woul
 turn a criminal loose without such Wa
 necessary in order to get the truth
 The truth. the whole truth, and noth ing but the truth is what Congress an
 the country demands of this inVesttsa
 tion.'

CT referred to his early experience in the order in which ne now holds so high a position.
 T joined the odd Fellows" he said, through curiosity to know what the order was like, but after I began to learn something about 1t, I began to see that 1t was a great order"
 He declared the order the strongest numerically of all secret orders. and that it handles more money than any other order.
 "No matter what the drains upon our treasury" he declared, i've have al- ways enough to help the brother in need of assistance, and to take care of the widow and the orphan"
 Odd Fellowship" he said. 'in it's es- sential practices, stands side by side with the church. We emphasize the moral feature of man more than the church. The applicant for membership to the church promises to be good. If he goes a little wrong just little, the church lets him go. But if an Odd Fellow goes wrong, he is soon made to know that his brothers do not approve of his conduct"
 The speaker pointed out the rapid growth of the order. Although not quite eighty-seven years old, the or ganization which was started by some five or six men, has grown until 1t has a membership of over 150,0OO.
 odd Fellowship in Alabama he said, has grown so that whereas six or seven years ago, we had but 1000 members in the State; today we have 1S.OO0 members. Forty-four lodges have been established In the last year, and five dispensations are out at the present time. The secret of our suc- cess is that We work together. Tn
 unity there Is strength; in discord there Is weakness.
 He concluded with strong appeal to the women to join the Sisters of Rebecca, which. he declared, was one of the most potent factors in the sue cess of the order today. He was | warmly applauded as he took his seat Following Grand Master Wheeler Grand Secretary Weaver spoke of the | growth of the order of Odd Fellows 1 Speaking of the gool done by the order, he said that $4s.00O had been paid out in the last fiscal year for widows and orphans. The revenues for the present year, he said, will reach in the neigh | borhood of $150,000.
 Mrs. Lydia A DOron, Treasurer of
 the State organization of the Sisters oi
 Rebecca, made strong plea for the | founding of homes for the widows ano
 orphans of Odd Fellows, and for the | aged members of the order itself. Other speakers of the evening were Miss Frances Griffin, Past Grand Mas | ter of Alabama Jacob Pepperman, no" l editor of The Southern odd Fellow, and
 Horace Hood, editor of The Montgom'
 cry Journal. During the program ol | the evening. a number of pleasing mu- | sical and vocal selections were rendered | by MT and Mrs. Junius Pierce, which were well received.
 | The installation of J. M Engler, as | Noble Grand of Colonel LomaX Lodge which was to have been presided over by Grand Master Wheeler, was post \ poned until another occasion, owing to
 iateness of the hour. the State executive
 appointing Major A. G. Forbes to act | in his stead in the installation cere- | monies.
 At the close of the speakers program | the Odd FFellows and their guests re- | paired to the adjoining room. where
 they partook of a substantial luncheon

 only seven patents on umbrellas had been issued in the United States in one hundred years, this despite the fact, says the American Inventor, that the annual production of umbrellas in this country is close to 15,000,000. @
 The ribs and stem of an umbrella are generally made in factories having a speciality of these items and are sent thence to the rael manufacturer. Here. first, the man whose work it is to as- semble the parts inserts a bit of wire into the small holes at the end of the ribs, draws them together about the main rod, and puts on the ferule.
 In cutting the cloth seventy-ftve thicknesses or thereabouts are arrang- ed upon splitting table at which skilled operators work. In another room are a number of girls who oper- ate hemming machines. A thousand yards of hemmed goods is but a days work for one of these girls. The ma chimes at which they work have a speed of some 5000 revolutions minute.
 After hemming, the cloth is cut into triangular pieces, with a. knife as be- fore, but with a pattern laid upon the cloth. The next operation is the sew ing of the triangular pieces together by machinery.
 The covers and the frames are now ready to be brought together In all there are twenty-one pieces where the cover Is to be attached to the frame in the average umbrella.
 The handle is next glued on and the umbrella Is ready for pressing and in- spection. By far the greater number of umbrellas today are equipped with wooden handles. A large variety of materials may be used, however, such as horn, china, bone, agate, pearl. ivory silver and gold. Gold and silver quite naturally enter into the construction of the more expensive grades of umbrel- las, some of which in price, have been known to bring as high as s150 or $20O. A wooden handle may likewise be ex- pensive, depending upon the quality of the wood used. Ebony, petrified wood fir, oak and elder are as well known to the umbrella man-15, ,000, 900 umbrel- las a year.
 The umbrella has been developing rapidly during the last few years.
 We pick up even cheap one nowa days, press q button and the top spreads itself like an eagle ready for Its flight. We are going away and an ordinary umbrella is too long to put in our grip. We find among our assortment of umbrellas and parasols one that is meant for just such an emergency and which, in a most ac- commodating manner. folds up to suit the size of our travelling bag. Other new ones lock with a key Some spread their shade over eight or nine feet of territory. and manufacturers aver that these are but a few of the im- provements which we may expect.

BILLS HELD BACK
SUPPLY MEASURES SLOW IN THE
 HOUSE.
Some Believe That This Is Due to the
 Fact That the Senate Has Been
 Slow In its Work.
By Alfred J. stofer.


 Washington March 9.--tSpecial1-- The Republican members of the House concentrations committee are unusuai- iv late in reporting the big supply oiiis this session. Only three have been brought in and passed. They are thc urgent deficiency, the pension and the Notifications. They are the least m portant of the six with which thls committee have to deal. The others are the legislative, the sundry civil ana the general deficiency
 Twenty years ago the regular appro priations committee had q great deal of additional business, but when Hon. William R. Morrison, of Illinois, was leader of the House and the late hon' Samuel ]. Randall of Pennsylvania was at the head of the appropriations com mittee, the work was divided since then the money necessary to run the army and navy has been looked after by the committee on military and na- val affairs. The needs of the Postot- flee Department are attended to by the Postoffice Committee, and the commit tee on agriculture looks out for the Department of Agriculture, etc.
 Nearly all of these committees have been backward this session fin report ing. Many of the Congressman who have been looking into the situation have an idea that there is meaning in such a state of affairs. Three months ago the Republican managers talked | constantly of hurrying Legislation with i view of bringing the sesson to a close probably by the middle of May. Now I the predictions are that an adjourn ment can hardly be reached before the middle of June.
 The sundry civil and the general de- 1 fc!ency bills are measures that inter est every section of the country. They carry many millions of dollars and include Appropriations for variety l of public works. The belief is wide | spread that they are purposely beng l held back until the Senate shows a disposition to move faster in the con ] sideration of measures that President Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon and others | think should be gotten out of the way at an early date The Senators have | been taking their time in discussing 1 the joint Statehood bll, they devoted l several weeks to the Hepburn Pure Food bill before it was finally voted l upon. and no one has the remotest idea at this writing how many weeks they
 will argue the Railroad Rate bill. The | tendency is towards lengthy debate. as nearly every Senator having rep 1 utation as a speaker seems to be anx-
 ious to place himself on record. The campaign is also coming on and both | the Democrats and the Republicans
 wish to provde ammunition for use in l the doubtful States.
 It may be six weeks or two months yet before all of the big appropriation
 bills are sent over to the Senate. The
 Senators are deliberate in the extreme,
 and they always pull these measures
 to pieces by adding Iiberally to the | sums voted. That causes further de- lay, and the outlook is that the hot
 weather will arrive before the states
 men begin to realize that they will have to expedite the business of the
 session.

Life Guards.

The Life Guards are two regiments of cavalry forming part of the British household troops. They are gallant soldiers. and every loyal British heart is proud of them. Not only the King household. but yours, ours. everybodys should have its life guards. The need of them is especially great when the greatest foes of life, disease find allies in the very clements as colds. influenza, catarrh. the grip, and pneumonia do in the stormy month of March The best way that we know of to guard against these diseases is to strengthen the sys- tenn with Hoods Sarsaparllla-the greatest of all life guards. It removes the conditions in which these diseases make their most successful attack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, and imparts Il genial warmth to the blood Remember the weaker the system the greater the exposure to disease. Hoods Sarsapa rilla makes the system strong.

Say, did you ever here any say that
the taxes were very high in this coun-
ty? Guess you have. Well, when
anyone says that again, just tell him
he don't know what he is talking
about. A gentleman who owns pro-
perty in Chicago said he heard
taxes were awful high here. When
asked il he knew what the taxes were
in Chicago he said they were about
l per cent on the assessed valuation.
He acknowledged that they have
different system OF assessment than we
have. In Chicago the property is
assessed at its actual valuation while
here the assessed valuation is about
one-third of its real value. For
instance if piece of real estate is
assessed five per cent on an assessed
valuation of 81 900 when the property
is worth $4,000 actual valuation
what would the taxes be if it were
assessed at actual value? The ratio
of taxation would be about the same,
and the man from Chicago saw the
point and asked what on earth are the
people kicking for?
