1t has long been a recognized fact
that our House of Representatives is
altogether too large a room for the
average orator to make himself heard,
and about four-fifths of the members OF
the House are not even the average"
in oratory. Some time ago a movement
was started looking to the removal
from the House of all the desks, leay-
ing the Representative Hall with close
placed long benches. Then it was pre-
posed TO cut the hall down till it is
smaller. The committee has reported
as follows:

There ~ no twilight zone between
the Nation and State, in which exploit

both.
Il am JEALOUS of any encroachment

that the States are as indestructible as
the Union is indissoluble.

A woman who Joined the Daughters
of the American Revolution was ban

bars, which reach clear from chin TO

clared that she could furnish as many
more ancestors, but dared not, as they

The statue of Washington done by
Greeno;lgh. which has been standing on
the Capitol plaza Tor many years, Is to
be taken to the Smithsonian and located
for the rest of it's life. The statue may
be fine one, presumably is. for 1t cost
the Government a mint of money. but
about the only value attached to it
would seem to be for anatomical study.
Washington is naked to the waist in
the statue, and you can sec every bone
in the torso. The statue has been the
laughing stock of everybody for years.
and a determined effort has at last got
it off the Capitol plaza.

TWO DORSET MEN
IN JAIL FOR
BURGLARY
Leo and Milo HarWOOd Held on
Serious Charge
BAIL WAS FIXED AT S7OO
Alleged TO Have Entered Summer
Home Of Mrs C. c. deNottbeek of
New York

states Attorney Meagher late yes.
terday afternoon filed informations
against Leo and Hilo Harwood of Dor
set on the charges of burglary and lar
ceny and they will probably be tried
soon after the conclusion of the Dew
ey-Sanche trespass case now being
heard.
The two men, both of whom are
over 30 years Of age and the fathers OF
families, are charged with entering
the summer residence at Dorset OF
Miss c. c. deNottbeck. wealthy
woman living in New York and steal.
ing number Of articles.
The house has been closed for some
time, as Miss deNottbeck is now at
her winter home in New York. a
few days ago Caretaker Hulett, who
is in charge Of the premises while the
owner is away, noticed a number of
tracks in the snow and upon making
an investigation discovered that the
house had been broken into
Entrance into the building was az.
fected by prying up a window. Fur
Their investigation by the caretaker re
vealed the fact that some one had en-.
tered the wine cellar and taken a
number Of bottles of wine and that
different articles about the house were
missing.
Mr., Hulett communicated with the
authorities and as there had been a
number of similar breaks during the
past year Of summer residences a
vigorous search was made to locate
the missing articles and bring the
guilty parties to justice.
Constable Burr Phillips and Deputy
Sheriff Norwood took the case in hand
and as a result Of a search of the
homes Of the two Harwoods, the men
were brought before Justice A. 3.
Roberts who held them for trial by
county court in 800 bail. Being I'M
able to find bondsmen the two men
were committed TO the county jail,
and were brought here by Constable
Phillips for safe keeping.
Miss deNottbeck is one OF the

set Her home there Is one OF the
most luxurious OF its kind in the state
and during the several years that she
has passed the summer months In
town she has taken an interest in the
social affairs OF the community and
has performed many charitable acts.
She has maintained a sewing school.
furnishing the materials and when
the work was completed she has pre-
scented the garments to the makers.
In this manner she has combined char.
ity and instruction. The people on
Dorset are naturally indignant that
the residence OF one who has done so
much for the town should be molested
hy persons living in the community.
There is good reason to believe that
there are others implicated in the bur
glary. There are a number Of missing
articles that have not been recovered
but the authorities are confident that
they will eventually sift the affair 10
the bottom
When the news OF the burglary was
at first communicated to Miss deNott.

the apprehension OF the thieves but
IN the meantime she has demonstrat.

ecution.

marble has been secured by William
Bradley & Son OF Long Island City. n.

A considerable part OF that town has

tinued few years ago, but there was

pie of the town came tounderstand the
benefits of the carrier service Il was
recognized that this was the most dc.
sirable With the carrier service IN the
