A practical demonstration OF the
value of the trap nest in breeding up
the laying average Of hens has been
made by the lMaine experiment sta
ton, where the trap nest system has
been in operation for several years.
Two years ago the average production
was 800 eggs per hen for the year
and last year it was 1874 eggs per hen.
which means that they had gain of
about IA eggs per hen over earlier
records. think that Prof. Gowell OF
the station, states that no males are
used in the breeding pens that have
not been produced from hens that
produce 200 eggs per hen per year.
All the hens in their breeding pens
have been bred from hens that laid
100 eggs per year. 80 they might be
termed strong producers. No hen is
used for breeding purposes until after
her egg record had been known for
II months.

Report of Commission ON Government
Ownership of Pneumatic Tubes.


Washington, Dec. 15.--"It is not
feasible and desirable at the present
time for the government to purchase
or install or to operate pneumatic
tubes
This is one of the most important
conclusions reached by a commission
appointed by the postmaster general
to inquire into the question of the
feasibility and desirability of the gov
pneumatic tubes in the cities where
the service is now installed which was
today transmitted to congress by Post
master General Myer, the conclusions
of which he approves. The commits
sion however, recommends the de-
STABILITY of further investigating the
subject of government ownership of
the pneumatic tube service in five or
six years. The pneumatic tube service
is in operation at present in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago,

FAVORS PUBLICITY.
Bill to Make Newspapers Print Names
of Owners on Front Page

Washington, Dec. 15.-With a view of
letting the public know what influence
operates upon it through the press,
Representative Cooper, Texas, today in
troduced bill to exclude newspapers
and magazines from the mails unless
the names of the owner and editor or
officers, directors and stockholders be
printed on its front page.
There is no agency in the govern
ment so powerful as newspapers to af-
feet the politics and policies of the
government and the morals of the peo-
ple," explained Representative Cooper
in discussing the bill.
This being true the people have
right to know who their teachers are
and what influences may operate upon
them. If the people know the owners
of the paper and the influences and
motives that may prompt the editorials
and writings therein, they would better
be able to give proper value and weight
to the published articles"

A new TOPEKA FACTORY
Mcdonald Shirt Company Operating
New Plant Here.

The r. 1. Mcdonald Manufacturing
company, a new enterprise, which man
ufactures shirts in wholesale quanti-
ties is an institution that opened it's
doors in Topeka for the first time Mon
day morning. The new establishment
is quartered in the rooms formerly oc-
cupied by the Mail and Breeze at Fifth
and Jackson streets.
This is a branch of St. Joseph in
stitution that has been contemplating
opening a Topeka establishment for
some time. A few weeks ago Mr.. Nc
Donald, the president and manager of
the company, came to Topeka, and
placed an ad in the State Journal ask
ing that a hundred girls report for
work One hundred and seventeen girls
replied to the ad. The number and
quality of the applicants was all that
was needed to induce the company to
come here.
A B. Poole, secretary of the Com
merciaI club. had been after the insti-
tuition for several months and much
credit belongs to this organization for
getting the company here.
At the present time, but 25 girls are
employed. Others will be added just as
soon as the present force can be put
into good working order and the full
hundred asked for will be given work
Just as soon as they can conveniently be
broken in to the work. Most of the
Joseph for while, but will later be
transferred to Topeka. In the mean
time the local factory will content it
self with sewing the garments. A. O..
Vaughn, of ST. Joseph. is manager of
the Topeka branch house.

DEFENDS OUR SHIPS.

chimes Superior to Dreadnaughts.

New York. Dec. 15.-That the latest
battleships built by this country are
vastly superior to England's Dread
naught, is emphatically stated by Rear
Admiral RobIey D. Evans in a maga-
zine article wherein he strongly de-
tends the American navy and replies to
criticisms of it made some time ago
by Henry Reuterdahl and others.
81 do not for a moment claim that
the Indiana and her sister ships are
equal to the Dreadnaught of the Eng
lish navy he says, "only that she is
the equal of the English ship designed
at the same time. But do claim that
our latest ships are vastly superior to
the Dreadnaught and 1 believe that
every fighting man who has given the
subject intelligent consideration will
agree with me-"

They Come Off Second Best in
the Encounter.
AIDED BY DEMOCRATS
But Even Then They Were a
Few Votes Short.
Madison and Campbell Voted
Against Uncle Joe.

Washington, Dec. 15.-At the outset of
the proceedings in the house today the
roll was called on motion by Mr..
Gardner, Republican, Massachusetts,, to
discharge the committee. on foreign af-
fairs from further consideration of the
resolution calling on the secretary of
state for a statement as to whether he
has in his possession information as to
whether or not the British house of
commons has appointed a committee to
report on the advisability of changing
it's rules and that the resolution be con-
sidered by the house.
Mr.. Gardner is one of several so-call-
ed insurgents who believe that the
rules of the house of representatives
should be changed.
The motion of Mr.. Gardner prevailed,
146 to 134, and thereupon he offered an
amendment eliminating all reference to
the demand on the secretary of state for
information and leaving in the reso-
luton simply the provision for the ap-
pointment of eight members to report
on the question of revising the rules.
Messrs. Payne, New York, DalZell,
Pennsylvania, were quickly on their
feet with points of order, both insist
ing that as a portion of the resolution
would be stricken out the resolution no
longer privileged. ~
Against that contention Mr.. Gardner
vigorously arrayed himself and he cited
several preceQenLS TO support Ills al q u
ment.
With equal vigor. Mr.. Fitzgerald,
(Dem) New York, upheld the conten-
ton of Mr.. Gardner.
In an elaborate opinion, the speaker
sustained Messrs. Dalzell and Payne,
holding that the character of the
resolution had been changed in such
a way as to render it nom privileged.
Mr. Gardner promptly appealed
but, alert to the Importance of the
proposition, Mr.. Payne moved to lay
the appeal on the table and on that
motion a roll call was forced.
By vote OF yeas 149, noes 1876,
present 4, the speaker was sustained.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the speaker as follows:
Boyd, Neb.; Campbell, Kan; Caul-
field, Mo-; Cooper. Wis; Davis, Mimi;
Ellis, Mo; Fowler, New Jersey; Card
ner, Mass; Gronn, n. D.; Howland.
Ohio; Hubbard, West Virginia: Lind
berg, Mimi; Mckinley, Cal; Madison,
Kan; Nelson, Mimi; Nye, Mimi;
Pearr, Md; Pollard, Neb.; Sturgis,
w. Va. Colstead, MINI.
The resolution then on motion of
Mr.. Gardner, after he had further at
tackled the rules of the house was laid
on the table 1877 to AZ which has the
effect of killing the whole proposition.
