WILLIAMS AYERS
HOUSE DOES Think
Minority Leader Denies
He'll Spend Year Studying
to Appear in Senate.
Might Want to Rest, But
Lower Body Is Ample
Preparation.

John Sharp Williams, minority leader
r. the House, paused long enough with
his foot on the steps Of a sOuthbound
train yesterday afternoon to deny what
b. considers is a runor huTtful to his
intelligence and to The reputation Ct
the House OF Representatives for pro-
fundity Of thought.
Somebody" declared Mr.. Williams.
with the hint Of a resentful CLEAN in
his eyes, has started the rumor that

q member of The House must study a
year in order TO tit himself for the
activities Of the Senate. Why, the
proposition IS out Of ali reason. ana 1t
certainly is a reflection on the HOUSE
that can not Let pass unchaIenged.
Il did say L might get out OF politics

You can take it from me that ser
vice IN The House Is the most ample
preparation for anything that might
arise Ia the Senate. It's gong pretty
far when any body says a Representa-

study IN order to walk the Senatorial
domains. That year Of study VIII noe

a suggestion was made that the year
study might be devoted TO the writing
OF a history Of Jenersonian Democracy,
a work which It has been reported AIT.

To Preserve All Printed Work.

THE answer is that there should be at
least one library in this country" said
DR.. Putnam, that shall contain one copy
of everything that is printed-an omnium
gatherum--of good and bad literature, a
complete exhibit of the printers art in
the United States. The state and local
libraries have no room for such things,
but every printed line ought to be pre-
served somewhere. and if that Is going to
be done, we shall have to enlarge this
building very soon. We now have shelves
for 1,GOS,OO0 books, and they are pretty
nearly filled. OF course. we have to keep
space in all the alcoves for growth and
there are empty shelves in every stack
for the new books as they come out, but
we shall have to pile up the books on
the floor as was done in the old library.
We are planning now to erect new stacks
in one of the court yards of the library
that will be capable of holding 500 600
ordinary volumes We shall have to build
another ten years later capable of holding
as many more. and keep on building. for
the library is increasing now at the rate
of hundred thousand articles or more
every year. and the increase will be
greater rather than less as the country
grows in population and literary activity.
Fortunately, in planning this building
four great courts were left within the ex-
terror walls. Two of them are visible to
the administration portion, and it is only
necessary to lay a floor and roof them
over and erect the stacks. That can
easily be done and four such buildings $50
feet square and so feet high will hold
100000 volumes.

BROKEN NECK ADEPT.
Swindled Trolley Companies by AL
leging Injury From Accidents.

NEW YORK, December 20-If Edward
l.. Pape, alias a variety of things. had
stuck to his original business of falling off
trolley cars and getting fat damages from
his ability apparently to dislocate his neck
he might be soaring the street railroad
claim agents to death yet instead of be-
ing locked up at police Headquarters
Pape got out of Moyamensing prison at
Philadelphia only yesterday and he hadn't
had time even to fall off one street car
before the New York central office men
had him on the way here.
The detectives say that June "a, 1904
Pape with two other men robbed three
walters, John Hohenstein, a man named
kurch and one other of ia East S4th
street, of 800 worth of cash and clothing
after tying and gagging them when they
came upon invitation to visit
Shortly after the robbery Pane and his
companions in the robbery, Wilmont and
Burns, were arrested in Cleveland. VIII
mont and Burns were at once brought
back to New York and got seven and a
half years apiece. Pape was wanted here,
too, but Philadelphia, where he was want
ed for swindling the street railroad COM
pany with a broken neck trick, got him
first.
Pape. the police say is well known to
the railroad detectives of many cities be
cause of what they call his broken neck
game" Pape was once an acrobat and
while performing is said to have injured
his neck in such way that when the
wound healed he was able at will to make
it appear to be broken. With this faculty
as an asset Pape is said to have collected
much money from traction companies.

married Frances G. Yingling of York in

his first wife lives, taking with him some
of his second wifes clothing and ring.
Minton was member of the I'd Brigade

and were married by an alderman in Har-
rjsburg. Since then they have been living
