YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS

Washington, Feb. 26.-Following are
in brief, the proceedings of the two
houses of congress yesterday as taken
from the official records:
STNATE - Currency legislation was
the chief topic. For nearly three hours
Senator Owen of Oklahoma spoke on
the Aldrich BILL claiming that he had.
ansas. in 1900, proposed legislation
somewhat similar to the bill under CON
|sideration, but with essential differenc-
eS, which he declared would have pre-
vented the recent panic had it been en-
acted into law. The Indian appropria- =
tion bill received consideration during
a part of the day. The senate adjourn
ed at 4.45 p. m.
HOUSE-General debate on the army
appropriation bill again furnished op-
portunity for free expression OF opin-
rett of Tennessee and Mr.. Pau of North
Carolina arraigned the republican party
for its policies with regard to the tar
iff, while Mr. Hayes of California de-
nounced the financial system of the
United States as patchwork and the
Aldrich bill as falling far short of the
remedial legislation needed" The only
remarks pertinent to the army bill were
made by Mr.. Parker of New Jersey
who spoke in favor of the proposition
of increased pay for the officers and
men. and Mr.. Kusterman of Wiscon-
sin in support of restoration of the can
teen. The seven hours allowed for
general debate on the bill will expire
today, and the measure will be read fol-
amendment. At 5:14 p. m. the house
adjourned.

CLOSES EXCHANGE
Winnipeo's Grain Market Put
Out of Business by Ad-
verse Legislation.
PROHIBITS FUTURE TRADING
Former Member Introduced Measure
at Request of Farmers-Move
on in Oklahoma.

Winnipeg. Man, Feb. 26.-As re-
suit of recent legislation against op-
tion trading the Winnipeg grain ex-
change has practically ceased to exist,
and by the end of the week the Amer
ican market quotations will be discon-
tinued.
Clearing house stock is dropping in
value in proportion to the decline in
value of the seats. All that really re-
mains to members is a small equity
in a partially completed building on
which no loan company will make an
advance to finish it.
1t is probable that the exchange
may be moved to Fort William, where
an offer of charter under the laws
of Ontario has been made.
Former Member Fights Exchange.
The legislation which brought about
the crimp in the local grain brokerage
business was introduced into the Man
itoba legislature by Premier Robin
1t makes illegal all trading in grain
options and restricts the dealings in
many other ways.
Robin was for many years ,one oi
the most active traders on\ the ex
change, but sold out his seat some
months ago. Yielding to the requests
of farmers and grain growers he in
troduced and had passed the restric
tive legislation.
Outsiders ON Floor.
One new rule gives outsiders acces:
at all times to the floor of the ex
change. When the doors opened Mon
day large number of farmers surgeG
on the floor and into the trading pit;
and a free fight was averted only by
the cool headed members of the ex
i change.
The commission houses with privat.
wires to Chicago and Minneapolis are
doing a largely increased business al
result of the exchange restrictions
Oklahoma Gets Futures.
Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 26.-The hous

sisting in Demand Renders

Peoria, ILL.,, Feb 26.-Asserting that
the agreement presented by the Illi-
nois mine operators is such that they
cannot afford to vote it favorably with
out incurring the displeasure of their
brethren in the east, President Walk
er of the Illinois district United Mine
Workers of America yesterday made
an impassioned plea to the operators
during joint session, requesting them

SILENT FIREARM INVENTED THAT
MAY CHANGE METHODS OF WARFARE

New York, Feb. 26.-Hiram Percy
Maxim, son of Sir Hiram Maxim, who
invented the machine gun which bears
his name, has been granted a patent
for a silent firearm." BY the device
of the younger inventor, now formally
announced as fully perfected, the dis
charge of a rifle or revolver is render
ed practically noiseless.
Gas Is Confined.
The escape of the gases following
discharge of the explosive is shut off
just as the bullet emerges from the
muzzle. This result is obtained by
means of piston valve sliding across
the bore of the barrel Immediately af-
ter the bullet passes. This valve is

AMERICANS CALLED UPON
To FREE LAND OF ANARCHY

introduce bill to restore to the mill
tary service such of the discharged
negroes as were shown beyond a rea-
sonable doubt to have been innocent
of any offense connected with the af-
fray.
Senator Lodge offered a resolution
as follows:
THAT, in the opinion of this COM
mittee, the shooting affray in Browns
vile on the night of Aug. 1914, 1906,
was done by some of the soldiers be-
longing to the Twenty-fifth United
States infantry then stationed at Fort
Brown, Texas"
FOraker's Efforts Futile.
Senator Foraker offered as substi-
tutes resolutions that the guilty party
had not been discovered" that a
conspiracy of silence" was not proved
that "the evidence did not sustain the
charge against the soldiers" and that
''the discharged men had a good rec
ord and should be reinstated.' They
were all rejected

charged battalion. This was rejected
by all the committeeman except Sch
ators Foraker and Bulkeley.
The Lodge resolution was thcT
adopted the alternatives being: Lodge
Warren, Warner, Taliaferro, Foster
| Overman. Frazier and McCre2-y. Th,
negatives were: Scott, Foraker. Hem
enway and Bulkeley. Mr.. Du Pom

controlled entirely by the pressure of
the gases themselves, and is not op-
Grated by any intricate mechanical de-
vice. Preventing the gases from escap-
ing suddenly and provoking a conse.
quent loud report, the valve allows
them to issue gradually through a ser
les of small holes, thus obviating all
noise except a slight kissing sound
The valve then resumes an open posi-
tion and a safety device prevents the
firing of another cartridge unless the
valve is in its proper place.
May Change Methods.
Military experts apprised of the new
invention assert that it holds the pow
er to force revolution of modern meth
DDS of warfare.

Chief Constructor Takes
Up Charges Against
the Navy.
CHANGES FOR BETTER
Many Points Being Tested Out
and America Is Abreast
of the Times.

Washington, Feb. 2G.-Rear Admiral
tor of the navy, today before the sen
ate committee on naval affairs replied
to the magazine article written by
Henry Reuterdahl in criticism of the
construction of American battleships.
The admiral asserted the American
ships are the equal of the ships of any
navy in the world.
Subjects of study.
The most serious charges made, he
said. were of insufficient freeboard
meaning the height from the water
line to the deck, insufficient gun height
and improper location of the main line
of armor belts. All these, he explain
ed. have been the subject of the clos
est study and experiment for many
years by naval designers in every
country.
One Theory Exploded.
The admiral characterized as "ex
ploded" the cry that if a shell pene
trated the armor plate at a slight in
cline it would be DETECTED upward by
the armor protected deck. "All eff
forts" he added, should be directed
toward keeping the shell out, and al
armor should be put on a ship in {
vertical form, for if a shell goes
through II inches of armor it will eX
plode anyway. A protected deck would
not be protected at ALL

1906, was done by some of the negro
soldiers of the 25th United States in

tary affairs fails to identify the guilty
parties, is the opinion of eight mem
bers of the committee.

Fervid Appeal Made at
Funeral of Father
Heinrichs.
FATHER O'RYAN HEARD
Denver Does Honor to Memory
of Priest-.-Remains
Sent East.

Denver, Feb. 26.-With a solemnity
and reverence due to his holy position
and spotless character, the body OF
Rev. Father Leo Heinrichs was taken
from st. Elizabeth's church today to
the union station, where it was placed
aboard a Burlington train to be for
warded to Paterson, n. j., where the
Franciscan fathers have their Ameri-
can headquarters.
Thousands Bareheaded.
The funeral procession was a nota-
bic one, and was witnessed by thous-
ands, who stood bareheaded as the
hearse passed. When the service was
begun in the church every available
seat was filled and a crowd of 5000
persons waited patiently outside until
the ceremony was over.
Governor and Mayor There.
Inside the church were many promi-
nent citizens of Denver, including
Governor Buchtel and Mayor Speer.
Solemn high mass was recited and the
service was impressive. Rev. Father
William Organ delivered the funeral
sermon, in which he highly eulogized
the martyred priest.
| Not for Individual.
| Rev. Father Organ said in part:
That any sermon is attempted
on this solemn occasion is not
because of Father Leo, a simple
Franciscan friar, who is dead. nor
even because of the high offense
against the Almighty Father of us all
who lives, but because of the society
in which we live and its outraged and
loosened bond of law. Crimes such as
that of last Sunday are assaults on no
mere individual. They are against you
and me and all of us. They strike and
wound law and justice in her holy
sanctuary whence breathes the very
life of the civilized state.
| Given Encouragement.
Great God, brethren, what are we
doing. of what are we thinking? A
great president of our country is slain
by degenerate who was nerved to
the deed by socialist and anarchist
lvaporings. We read that anarchy has
its seat in New Jersey, that she sits
in council in New Orleans or Chicago.
lThey have propaganda, red press, an
appeal to reason forsooth.
| Look on Indifferent.
| I'VE are made aware some of them
come here from southern and eastern
Europe in every shipload, and with
supine indifference, we look on. Have
we found a pearl beyond price that we
may roll it into dust like a child's
plaything. Have we grown so cold in
our love toward the fair vestal, liberty
that we feel no indignation when a
rufiian and stranger treat her as if
she were a harlot of public place"
Charges Are Filed.
, Information charging Giuseppe Alio
, with the murder of Father Heinrichs
was filed today in the district court.
The action is taken to indicate the au-
thorities have secured from the pris-
$ oner all the information concerning
his crime and connections which they
: deem necessary or expect him to d.
lvulge He was brought secretly back
= to Denver from Colorado Springs, to
which city he was removed last Sun
= day for safekeeping. He will be plac-
ed on trial at an early date.
