SENATOR BAILEY.
Bitter Speech After Being Exonerated
by LEGISLATURE


The Texas house OF representatives
by a vote of 20 TO 40, cleared Senator
Bailey of the charge OF irregular acts
in public life. The senate several days
ago exonerated Bailey without await
ing the investigating committees re-
port. The charges against Bailey
We're made in the house January IA
by Rep. Cooke
Following his exoneration Senator
Bailey entered the house ia dramatic
manner, his friends shouting and
shrieking and rushing him TO the
speakers stand. Senator Bailey said:
The conspirators have learned a
lesson. Never again will they wear
the honors OF Texas Democracy in
their life. Such men would betray a
republic IL Hessians were for hire.
The leader of the contest was a
man who has gambled with Negroes;
and II he attempts TO deny II, / will
prove it, One OF them was convicted
or embezzlement, and yet he is here
drawing his cloak about him saying
that he cannot keep the Democratic
commandments.
II wish | had words OF hate with
which to criticise them They have
lied about me. Their martyr is
Hearst, who led this fight against
Texas.
IF | live. not one of these men
shall ever hold Office in Texas again.
Out OF the 40 men who voted against
my exoneration, not more than four
will be back next session. Not one
half Of them will be in the Democratic
ranks at that time. They will go
back TO the Populist party, where they
belong
Bailey said he hoped to bury each
and every one or his enemies face
downward so that when they began to
scratch out on the final day, instead
OF ascending, they would scratch
themselves into their proper location
for the future. And then he wanted
to erect tombstones over the graves
and write an epitaph that no man
knew where they came from, but
everybody knew where they were
going

Thaw's Statement.

What effect the statement issued by
Harry Thaw Thursday afternoon will
have on his trial is the question now
calling for much speculation. II is said

sented when he insisted that he be
allowed TO do so. The statement fol-

Fifty-Ninth CONGRESS.

Ine Fifty-ninth congress expired at
noon Monday the senate adjourning
al iz:Iz and the house at 1920. The
delay was caused by the incorrect en-.
crossing of the bill limiting hours of
railway employees. The bill was re-en-
crossed. The ship subsidy bill received
us uuietus in the senate when Sena-
TOR Gallinger. in charge Of the meas
ure. announced his decision not to
press II for further consideration. Be-
lore making this announcement he
made last request for vote. where
upon MIR. Carmack expressed his re-
greet, that the bill would still lead TO
extended debate" Mr.. Gallinger then
entered into furious, though brief.
argument in support of the bill. Two
days OF frivolous debate" he said,
had occurred on the measure. and he
felt 1t to be his duty TO call attention
to the salient points involved.

More School Money.

President Snyder, of the Michigan
Agricultural college. and sundry other
presidents of agricultural schools
about the country, were in Washington
a few days ago TO get an increase to
the annual sum donated by the federal
government for the support of colleges
of that kind, and today they scored a
victory The house committee on agri-
culture, the chairman of which is Mr..
Wadsworth, of New York, had de-
clined TO agree to the raise, but Sena-
tor Nelson, OF Minnesota, put 1t in as
an amendment, and when the bill came
back to the house that body overthrow
Wadsworth and adopted 1t.
The colleges now receive $4,000 a
year and this new law will give them
an increase of $4,000 each year until
the annual sum reaches $4,000.

CHINESE HAD FIRST ZOO.
institution of Menageries Was Due to
Two Incentives.

The Chinese had the first zoo. Me-
nageries are thought to owe their
origin partly to the cult Of sacred
animals and partly to the ambition of
rulers to possess specimens of rare
and valuable creatures from foreign
lands or savage beasts from their own.
In the simplest forms geological gar.
dens were one of the earliest develop.
ments of culture, and were familiar to
the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans.
and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient
times. The oldest recorded menagerie
is Chinese, dating from 1850 B. c. The
den of lions kept by Darius, as de-
scribed in the book OF Daniel, is an eX-
ample Of one of those primitive me-
nageries, while the cult of sacred
white horses by the ancient Greeks
and Romans and that of so-called
white elephants in Burma and Siam
are instances of second type. A live
giraffe was received at the menagerie
Of Schonbrunn as early as 1928.

INVENTS STUDYING MACHINE.
Northwestern University Student
Finds Solution in Photograph.

Chicago. - Edward Jacobson, a
Northwestern university student, has
invented a studying machine which
not only abolishes the ravages on the
body caused by all-night sessions,
with towel-encircled brows, over
books of small print, but also saves,
he says, the eyes and the mind.
Young Jacobson's device is of a
photographic nature, for which he has
prepared records on which are con-
centrated the essential points Of the
entire courses. He unstraps his case
of records, selects Course No. 1, turns
out the light, lays himself down on
bed or couch, and, pulling cord
which is attached to the machine, pre-,
pares himself to absorb learning by
the roll.
The machine is provided with an at,
tachment on the order Of the works of
an eight-day clock, which will run an
indefinite period, far longer than any
listener will survive. Even il the
student drops asleep, the constant
and monotonous repetition of the rec.
ord has the effect Of impressing itself
on the seemingly dormant brain, for in
the morning the student has the
course at his tongues end and goes
to his examination, in campus vernac'
ular, prepared ito knock the profes
sors eye out
Intricate formulas Of calculus, in
volved problems of algebra and ge
ometry taught to men who think OF
taking up engineering and other deer
forms of mathematical lore can all be
caught by the machine without Skin
or miss, and formations so formidable
that the eye will not grasp them be
come easy to the comprehension when
drummed into the brain through the
ear by repeating the record.
The Importance of the invention is
such from the student standpoint that
canned" lessons promise to become
common on the Evanston campus.

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck viii Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself but the worthlessness Of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
vinced that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults o. he''
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men to make another
attempt.
AS it was she reached height OF
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing Besides they were all afraid Of
the trip and especially as they ap-
preached the top OF the mountain, OF
which they have superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first, except that the men gave out
sooner and so less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband-
oned
