LEGISL A TIVE
More Pay For congressman.

The senate went on record--53 to 81
in favor of the house amendment to the
legislative appropriation bill authoriz-
ing an increase of so per cent in the
salaries Of the vice president, speaker
Of the house. members of the cabinet,
representatives and senator's. That is
to say. unless the bill should be vetoed
by the president, the salaries after
March will be $4,000 for the vice
president, speaker and cabinet mem
bers and $500 for senators and repre-
sentatives. The action OF the senate
differed from that of the house, as the
members of the latter body did the
work by rising vote of 1873 TO 81,
there being not sufficient number de-
handing a roll call to secure a record
vote.
In the senate most OF the Republicans
voted for the increase and most of the
Democrats against it, but party lines
were not closely drawn, as Tillman
Dubois, Pettus, Money, Daniel aud
other Democrats voted Yea" While
Nelson. Burkett, Clapp, Hansbrough
Perkins. La Toilette and others on the
Republican side stood out against tue
increase taking effect this year. La
Toilette voted for the Mallory amend
ment making the Increase take effect
in 1918. which would relieve him OF
the stigma Of voting to Increase his
own salary. Nelson OF Minnesota voted
to strike out the incresse for senators
and representatives, saying that this
country paid more to its legislators
than any other country in the world
and that they We're there not merely to
work for the government but that they
accepted the place as post Of honor.

Of War Taft under authority conferred
by an act of congress. The secretary

Theodore p. Shonts has rendered to
the president his resignation as chair
man of the isthmian canal commission,
to take effect March 1, after which
date he will become president Of the
marlborough Metropolitan company Of
New York. This change has been I'M
der consideration for some time. but
August Belmont, now president of the
marlborough made no motion toward
securing Shonts without first obtaining
consent of President Roosevelt. In ac-
cepting the resignation Of Shonts the
president compliments him on his work
and expresses regret that the govern
ment Is to lose his services. Chief En-
gineer John F. Stevens will take over
the duties of Chairman Shonts, and
possibly the Office Of chairman will be
abolished.

The "saionne" Of Strauss.
Richard Strauss musical interpreta-
ton of Oscar Wilde's "Salome," which
created such sensation In Europe,
had Its first American production at
the New York Metropolitan Opera
House last week, with Fremstad in the
title role. The ultra sensual character
Of the subject had plqued the curios-
ity of the prurient public, and packed
house witnessed what most Of the crit
les say was proclamation Of art. The
realism of the music was marvellous Ia
portraying the utter depravity of Sa

derstood as d new tonal language. -

President Eliot of Harvard, speaking
