FORCNEY CHARGES FRAUD
IN COMMITTEES REPORT

Washington, ID. c., March 5.-Sensa-
tional charges OF q falsified commit
tee report ave been made on the house
floor, by Congressman Fordney, OF
Michigan. He declared that he had
made a motion in committee that all
reference 10 Cape ~:Ien6ocino be struck
from the committee bill and that his
motion was carried. But In the COM
mittee bin as reported to the house,
the qualification still remained that
the subsidy should be given only to
boats plying on the Pacific from Amer
lear harbor north OF Cape Mendocino.
Mr.. Fordney declared that this pro-
vision was originally introduced to gain
the vote OF Mr.. Humphrey, the Wash
ngton member Of the committee.
Humphrey made an Intellectual attempt
10 head off the charge of the Michi-
gan man. calling Fordney to order.
The chairman Of the committee OF the
whole warned Fordney that he must
not refer to action in committee, but
Fordney came back hot with the spe-
cinc declaration that the bill now un-
der discussion by the house is not the
bill agreed upon by the committee and
ued: because | voted to reuort this
bill from our committee, / might be
accused OF having something ~ -
with it's origin. This bill, IL 1t ever
becomes a law, is one child in our po-
litical family. But If / am called it's
father 1t is one that the father Is not
at all proud Of" Fordney's speech
was greeted with applause.

Of her husband.
Lieutenant Snow, the court bailiff,
ecured a whip and handed it to the
woman Spectators in the court room
Strengthened up, eager to see a man
given a good thrashing. The order of
the judge was without precedent in To-
cal courts, and the audience crowded
about to see the woman pay her hus-
band In the same kline of treatment she
had received.
Don't whip me-" whined Ogle. "Ill
promise to do better in the future. l
love you better than any person In the
world. Don't whip me, please"
The woman took the whip and raised
her arm, but her face twitched with
pain.
Il can't dc it, she cried. My arms

me that l can do 1t just yet. They're
covered with black and blue marks,
and so sore | can hardly raise my hand.

Ogle was fined 500. which meant
nine months on the rock pile. He was

DR.. WILEY DISAPPOINTED I'M
AGRICULTURAL BILL.

Washington, March 5.-The agricul-
tural bill as it has finally gone to con-
ference, does not contain any authoriZ-
alton for the fixing of ood standards
by the department of agriculture in CO.
operation with the official chemists or
the country. At the last minute the
senate decided 10 retain in the bill the
authorization hat the department may
cooperate with state, county n mum
icipal food officials in the enforcement
of the federal law. In view of the fact
that this provision was in the bill as it
came from the house committee origin
ally 1t seems likely that the conference
will retain 1t. DR.. Wiley. chief Of the
bureau of chemistry, is greatly disap-
pointed that the department is not to be
permitted to complete the work of fix
ing standards. but he feels that the de-
partment has won a great victory In
p~ersuading the senate to retain this au-
thorization for cooperation with states,
counties and municipalities in the en-
forcement OF the law.

SENATE KILLED THE
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Closing Hours of the Fifty
Ninth Congress Were
Very Tame.

Washington, d. c., March 6.-With
a new record for large appropriations
and far reaching legislation, the FIJI
ty-ninth congress was brought 10 u
close shortly after noon Monday. The
last few hours were tame by comparl-
son with what had been expected.
Long before moor Senator Gallingers

sidy bill had been abandoned ana ms
flibuster against 1t conducted by Sen
ator Carmack being no longer neces-
sary, he surrendered the floor, much
to the disappointment of the galleries.
Extreme fatigue, due to continued
night sessions in the house during
the last week, had a dampening erect
upon many congressman II the usual
excessive last day enthusiasm" "a
confined to less than half the MEM
bers.
President Roosevelt with his cabinet,
White House staff and a numbe of
guests occupied the presidents room In
the senate wing. Seated at a big table
in the center of the room he signed
bills as they were enrolled and pre-
sented to him. On account of the dis
patch with which business has been
conducted during the past week there
were only forty bills TO be signed to-
day.
The president was at the capitol for
more than an hour. He devoted most
OF the time to visiting with his cabinet,
both the retiring and incoming men,
bers being present, and in presenting
them to personal friends of the senate
and house.
Retiring senators were received and
without exception the president ex-
pressed regret that these lawmakers
were to leave the service of the coun-
try. Especially warm was his reception
to Senator Spooner, who Sunday an
nounced his voluntary retirement.

SAY DYNAMITE WON'T
BURST THE GORGE
That Is the General Opinion Ex-
pressed by People Around
vermiIlion, S. D.

Vermillion, S. D., March 5.-tAll the
dynamite in America won't break hat
gorge"
That was the general opinion ex-
pressed here when II was
that Colonel James b. Quinn, United
States engineer In charge of the Mis-
souri, river, Is to send Assistant w. d.
DeWitte to Vermillion on Monday to
report on the possibility of relieving
h situation by the use of explosives.
Mayor Henry Ferry will receive Mr..
DeWitte and see that he Is provided
with the necessary assistance. In max
ing his investigation. He will recon-
mend NJ course of action, as he Is a
former army officer himself. and de-
clares that 1T is useless to tell a United
States engineer wha to do.
Lose Hope in Dynamite.
Men who have examined the ice
gorge at the mouth OF the Vermillion
river with a view to the possibility Of
breaking 1t up with powder are a unit
In declaring that nothing can he ac-
complished by this means. For much
OF its width the gorge rests on a sand
bar or across the bed of a narrow
channel, from which the water has
been diverted as the gorge was slowly
filled in from behind until IL extended
twelve miles to the westward.
4 present little water is finding it's way
under the Ice. The main current flows
through a break in the rampart OF Ice
on the Nebraska side, and behind the
gorge there is scarcely any pressure. 1t
is declared that even If the ice were loos-
ened at the face OF the gorge by an ex-
plosion of gunpowder the volume of water
would not be sufficient TO carry 1t off.
Little hope is therefore aroused by the
activity. of the United States engineers.
Much Uneasirsss at vermiIiion.
At no time since the gorge first formed
and the water was diverted over the low
lands has the fear OF a serious outcome
of present conditions gripped the flood
sufferers as 1t did Sunday night, Reports
Of a rapid rise above Yankton, presum-
ably caused by the rapid melting OF a
heavy fall Of o have convinced many
people now seeking refuge here from tina
waters that as soon as the rise reaches
the flooded area IL will carry buildings
and farm property before 1t.
Soon after the food began the river re-
sumed It's nomal volume of water az the
result of cold weather further up stream,
and as yet there has been no opportunity
to judge of the effect of a sudden rise.
This now seems imminent.
In the flooded area between Gayvflle and
Vermillion scores OF farm houses are sur
rounded by water, which gradually crept
over the banks and submerged the hay
lands and corn fields In the valley. Houses
located In low swales are submerged half
way up to the roofs. and a sudden move
ment of this body OF water would result
In sweeping the structures from their
foundation and carrying them down
stream.
The gradualness of the waters advance
has served to warn all those whose farms
are in danger. and there Is no fear of lives
being lost.

UNWRITTEN LAW
GETS A BLACK EYE
IN WASHINGTON
''No Such Thing" Declares the
Judge, and Jury Forthwith
Finds Man Guilty.

Spokane, Wash, March 6-Judge VIII
liam A. Huenke, in superior court, has
ruled that the "unwritten law" cannot
receive consideration by the juries.
There is no 'unwritten law in Wash
tneton," he SAID in mis- Instructions to
the twelve jurors hearing the case of
the state against A. j. Hosticka,
charged with a statutory crime, adding,
'you are to be guided solely by the
laws made by the legislature of this
state
This declaration of the futility Of the
"unWritten law" as a Subterfuge for
lawyers was called forth by the plea
of Attorney Losey, representing Hos
ticka, that there is a course OF life reg
ulated by the law higher han that pre-
scribed by legislatures. The jury, he
said, should consider these higher
statutes in passing opinion upon the
merits Of the case.
After celebrating for less than an
hour the jury brought In a verdict of
guilty. The punishment for the crime,
optional with the judge, varies from
one year to a lifetime.
