HOUSE READY FOR WORK
Lower Body of Legislature Perfects
 Holds short SessiOn

Lower n0Oy OI IlGEESiHtufe feF1eCJD
 Holds short Session
 Notwithstanding that two of the Democratic members of the House of
 Representatives were absent at the
 initial session of that body yesterday
 noon, there was an ample majority of the dominant faction present. So cow ed, in fact were the two members of
 the Republican side of the House, that
 they did not insist upon a division up- on any question and it is believed even
 voted with the Democrats upon the
 motion to adjourn.
 It was little late when the House
 was called to order by Speaker A. M.
 Tuustall of Hale county, the members
 standing about in the Chamber gath
 cred in knots and discussing in ani-
 mated fashion the weather, crops.
 great men we have known. our meet ings of the past, and other topics of
 live legislative interest.
 It was 12.17 o'clock when the retr- ing Speaker let his gayel fall upon the hard wood of the Speakers desk, and in the instant hush that fell upon the House, announced that the House of Representatives would be in order For two hours after that time, the House played ping pong with the Dem- ocratic caucus. The House itSelf was in session for exactly an hour after MT. Tunstalf first called 1t to order, and the caucus then held forth for a similar length of time. At the ad- journment of the caucus, without the transaction of single piece of bust ness, and without the lapse of sin gle minute of time. the House ad- journed until 10 o'clock this morning MT. Pitts of Dallas, was the mem- Der who achieved the signal act of first securing the eye of the Speaker to make a motion to adjourn, and, as will perhaps occur again later in the session, there was not single dis senting vote to the proposition to ad- journ. It Is peculiar fact that be- fore the session of the caucus, MT Pitts objected to the desire on the part of some of the members of the House to adjourn until today, and se- cured favorable consideration for his motion to take a recess for an hour to permit the caucus to meet. and Ia cilitate the work of the session. Aftei inc work of the caucus had been con cIuded. he was willing to adjourn fol | the day, without waiting for lorna ratification by the House of the eau GUS nominees.

There are probably parents who are not aware, that we carry a stock of boys fine shoes such as are acknowledged to be the finest in the land.
 In years gone by, we remem- Der how difficult. it was to please the eye and yet have the neces- sary wear.
 A man would buy a pair for his boy and look to the wearing quail ities, but when some were shown to 8 mother, while she was not un- mindful of the wear, more often than not, even if she bought them was not pleased with the bungle- someness of the shoe.
 That has been overcome by many manufacturers and today we can find boys and little gentle mems as the smaller sizes are call ed; which combine the wearing qualities, coupled with style.
 This is essentially so with the fine line we are trying to bring to the attention of interested ones.
 All of which is true to certain extent with those we sell at pop ular prices,

ced the enrolment complete, Mir Lusi moved the Senate adjourn until today at 12 o'clock.
 whereupon. the Senate divided. There was chorus of ayes and chorus of nays but the chorus of nays was small CT. No division was asked for. how ever, and the Lieutenant-Governor an- nounced that the Senate had decided to adjourn. whereupoh the quiet Sem ate got up and moved reluctantly to the door.
 The lack of spectators was marked. The front row of chairs Of the gallery was not filled. There were only a few ladies in the Senate Chamber before the Senate was ready to adjourn. In the lobby between the two Houses. the crowd was very small. The attendance of spectators for the opening day was one of the smallest in recent years.

MONTCLAIR, n. J.. Aug. 12.-Early
IN the morning Patrolman Muligan
found an attractive young woman, ac-
companied by two boys, at the Lacka-
wanna station. They had arrived on
the midnight train from New York, and
seemed undecided where 10 so. He took
them to the police station, where the
young woman said she was Christina
Hagen. and that she was living with
Mrs. Charlotte Wells, Of 194 Walnut
street. or the boys, Louis and Frank,
fifteen and sixteen years of age, re-
spectively, her brothers, she told a story
Of maltreatmenL
She had just rescued them from a
farmer In Connecticut, who had cruelty
abused and starved them. The boys
plainly showed the effects of the life
they had led. Neither Of them had any
shoes. and both were ragged and IL
kempt. Their sister asked that they be
permitted TO remain at the station over
night, and her request was granted
Later she returned, and after providing
the boys with a good breakfast, left
with them for Chatham, n. J., where
she said a home would be given TO

few new variations. was again being
put out as a bait for guIlible Pailadel-
phians has been discovered by the local
postal authorities.
Walter D. Prose-, OF AIS Ogden street,
and d. II. Richards. of 57l9 Thompson
street. have received letters, the text Of
both being Identical The writer says
he has picked the recipient out as the
result of reference because he needc /
help to recover a fortune of $50, 900
which was in a certain trunk at an
English railway station. Keys and
checks to the trunk were in the secret
pocket of valise in the same station.
Certain charges would have to be paid
10 get the valise.
The writer explains that he is in jail
and needs help from outside He Will
give one-fOurth OF the fortune to any
one who will come over and help him
cut. Certain secret instructions for
cabling the pass word, "Bayley,' are
given.

RINGING CHURCH BELLS
ON SUNDAYS BARRED

CLEAR LAKE. Iowa. Aug. l2-Even
the ringing OF church bells on the Sab
bath is now prohibited in this town,
where the mayor is sitting firmly on
the Sunday lid, with the expressed in
tention of making the place as quiet on
the day of rest as a graveyard at mid
night.
Many Of the tOwnspeOple are bitterly
opposed to a closed Sunday. and in the
struggle which has been carried on the
mayor and the editor Of the local news
paper have both been hanged in efigy.
Although all places Of amusement and
business have been forced to close Sun
days for some time. IL was only this
week that the sections Of the churches
were enjoined from ringing the bells to
summon worshipers to services.

PEACE CONFERENCE
ENDS AUGUST 25
Delegates Grow Impatient
and Are Anxious to
Leave.

THE HAGUE, Aug. R.-The latest ru-
NOR is that the peace conference will
end on August .. Delegates are be
coming impatient and many do not want
to remain until that date. NJ. Bourgeois
refuses TO remain here after August 20.
and VI. Beernart has positively stated
that he will start for home on Tuesday
or Wednesday at the latest.
This indicates the general desire to
bring the conference TO an early con-
clusion.
The treacherous climate is working
harm TO the health of many delegates.
There is considerable sickness. The
strain of the conference, as well as the
social program. has proved too much
for at least a dozen Of the delegates.
Remsen Whitehouse, the American sec
retary TO the Chinese delegation, is the
latest TO become ILL., He is under the
care Of physicians.
The conference will make considerable
progress this week, as an adjournment
is to be taken on August %. for there
remains quite a volume Of business to
be transacted.
