SENATE.
The Senate was not in session today
having adjourned yesterday until Thurs
day.
HOUSE.
By means of a special rule, the House
Immediately after converting today, took
up the bill for the revision, codi6cstion
and amendment of the penal laws OF the
United States. More than 10 years has
been spent by special commission in
revising the criminal laws.
The seriousness Of the division Of the
minority of the House was emphasized
by the bringing in Of the rule.
Mr.. Williams, minority leader, said
that the importance OF the codifcstion
of the laws led him to offer no oppo'
sition to the adoption of the rule, which
would give privileged character to it.
Mr.. De Almond seized the opportunity
to make war on Mr.. Williams leader.

Gratis not to submit to the adoption Of
such q precedent in this Congress and
argued time should be given members
to study bill which rewrote the penal
Laws of the land. By his action De
Almond compelled the democrats ia
choose who was in reality their leader.
Mr.. Sherley tried to show how idle
were De Almonds remarks. Messrs.
Watkins and Houston spoke for the
rule.
Only six democrats stood by De
Almond and voted against the rule.
Speaker Cannon conferred a signal
honor on Mr.. BAnnon against whom q
hard fight is being waged in his dis-
trict, by asking him to preside over the
House while it considers the bill 10

Not a Mission Since
Yesterday.

While the ballots yesterday We're decid-

taking place in the executive government
of the Catholic Church of the United
States.
According to the terms of the apostolic
constitution "sapienti consilio." November
:, was the date set by Pope Plus x when
the United States would cease to be con-
sidered a missionary country and would
pass from the jurisdiction of the propa-
ganda to that of the various cOngrega-
tions of cardinals charged under the CON-
mon law of the church with the admins
tration of its affairs.
Beginning today the church in the
United States is on the same basis at

The rage for gambling at Whites and
Almack's led to most outrageous betting,
as to which Walpole tells what he calls
a good tale:
A man dropped down in a fit before
the door and was carried inside: the club
instantly made bets as to whether he
would die or not. and when doctor was
called in to attend him his ministrations
were inrerfered with by the members. be-
cause they said, these would affect the
fairness of the bets.

out of the running. French Pst;idge

The accident allowed SignorineIti,

GOV. SMITH DEFEATED.

Returns from the Georgia democratic
primary show the defeat of Hokt
Smith for a second term by Joseph NJ.
Brown, whom Gov. Smith dismissed
from the Office of railroad commissioner.
The r,tqrns indicate that Browns ma
i1rity over Smith may DO $4,000. on
even more.
Gov. Smith has been In Office hardly O
year, having been elected twelve months
before he was insugurated, and has a
yesr Of his term yet to serve. Gov
Smith was overwhelmingly elected two
yefrs ago, on a platform calling for strict
rdlr)'d regulation and the disfranchise-
inert of the negroes. He has largely
fulfilled his platform, End the revolt
against him Is inexplicable.
Much of the anti-Smilh feeling Was
generated by the State prohibition Law,
which Gov Smith signed, and the panic
which threw many men out OF employ
ment was used t. capture the labor vets
for Brown. Il was openly charged dor
ing the campaign that Brown had the
solid support of the whisky forces and
the railroads. Gov. Smith Was also
opposed by the cot'rie Of politicians who
had long domIustsd the State, and
whom he overthrow Two years ago.
The defeat of Gov. Smith will be con-
-idered a black eye for prohibition and
Acknowledgement.
A remarkable feature Of the campaign
Is that Brown did not make single
speech, and is not known personally
throughout the State. 1t 10 doubtful IL
one in q thousand Of the men who voted
for Brown would know the man If they
met him.
Prohibition threw Atlanta, Savannah,
Columbus, Macon and other cities
against Smith. The governor also lost
thousands of votes by abolishing free
passes, which was one of the especially
unpopular features OF his railroad regu.
lation programme.
