HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
HAS AN EXCITING SESSION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The house
of representatives today was in its old
time form. No particular program had
been mapped out, but under a call of
committees several measures in which
the members were especially interested
and in some cases vitality concerned,
were considered.
With few exceptions they engehdered
the liveliest sort of debate, and it was
disclosed that the forces for or against
them were fully lined up for the fray.
Parliamentary tactics were freely re-
sorted to, with the result that five
times the roll was called.
The first Wrangle occur - on a reso-
luton fixing the boundary line between
the states of Colorado and Oklahoma
and New Mexico, which was adopted
by a good majority but not without
two roll calls.
Next, turning to the bill providing
for the protection of aliens in the
United States, the subject was
threshed we'll out and the measure
had rough sailing, but was passed by
a thin majority, after the roll had
twice been called.
At 5:27 p. m. the house adjourned
until Monday

PAINS IN
THE STOMACH
Caused by Gas and Foul OdOrs Speed
lily Removed by Staart's Char
coal LOZenges
Trial Package BY Mail. Free

Pyrosis Gastric PAIN, gastritis and
many other stomach and bowel troubles
caused by formation of gas, are almost
instantly removed by a generous use of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
These little lozengss kill bad breath
and stop gas making by oxidizing the
odors and gases. Charcoal absorbs one
hundred times itself in gas. They turn
foul fumes and gases into oxygen,
which sweeten the system. They are
made from pure willow and sweet
honey and are a delightful aid to the
mouth, stomach and bowels. The Japa-
nese use charcoal for a toothwash and
an old Chinese proverb runs thus:
Sweet is the breath of a Niponese'
(Japanese).
The mouth fluids are alkaline, thus
waste food held by tooth cavities IS
attacked and decays rapidly, causing
foul odors to arise. Charcoal renders
the saliva sweet by oxidizing it and
does away with foul lamentations and
decay.
Every druggist carries Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges and many thousands OF
sufferers from gas, foul breath, etc, use
these little lozenges, thus proving theii
popularity and their merit. Charcoa
is one of the best all-around cleansers
the system may partake of and toe
much of 1t cannot be taken. An entire
box Of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges may
be eaten with freedom and only good
viii result.
Go to your druggist Immediately, buy
box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
and prove these facts yourself; it will
cost you but 25 cents or send us your
name and address and we will send you
a trial package free. Is this not fair?

charge of the gasoline launch Swas-
tika, which started from Port Orchard
yesterday morning for a logging camp
in Hoods canal. with a scow containing
three men in tow and two extra men
on the launch, telegraphed this noon
to the owner of the launch, Fran. H.
Meyers of Port Orchard, that the Swas-
tika and the scow were lost last night
off Foul Weather bluff, about twenty
miles north of Seattle. There was a
severe wind blowing all last night on

SANCTION WORK
HAYES SAYS CHANGES WILL BE
CONSERVATIVE
Uncle Joe Will Play Prominent Part
in Adjustment of Code by Which
He Arbitrarily Regulates
Congress

w AsHINGTON, Dec. Zone of
w the first things agreed upon by
w the members of the Hepburn
rules revision committee in the mousse
was plan to make the hgnI Aor
amendments at the present session.
The work was started by conferences
between mem bers of the committee anu
Speaker Cannon and Representative
Williams former minority leader, as
well as between the committee and
ether individuals among the element
faVoring revision of the rules.
Word was spread by majority OIL
the committee, which includes Repre-
sentative Hayes of California, that the
amendments would be conservative. A
practical disapproyal was anIlouncSu
on such changes as the selection or
steering committee of the house to ap
point the committees and the proposal
to have the committee on rules elected
by the house.
The outcome of the individual con-
ferences with the speaker Is SAID 10
have been an understanding that the
entire committee will lay before the
speaker after next Tuesday night S
conference on rules the amendments
that may be agreed upon.
It is understood the committee Will
ask to be authorized to agree to what
ever compromises the speaker might
suggest as desirable.
The members who talked with the
speaker today assured him they were
his friends and that they wished TO
avail themselves of his suggestions.
Republican Floor Leader Payne and
Representative Dalzell will be consult
ed by the committee.
The committee of "reformers' of the
rules is practically united on the Hep
burn amendment, which would require
the speaker as in duty bound to recog-
nize the first person upon whom MS
eyes fell. instead of allowing him to
arrange at the beginning of the day a
program designating members VINO
shall be given the privilege of the
floor.
other amendments that appeal to the
committee are to require the call of
committees once a week, so that all
bills on the union and the house cal
endars may be reached in due time,
and to enlarge the committee on rules,
though leaving it to the speaker to Sc
lect the members.
The Democrats are being interviewed
TO ascertain if they will consent to the
committee being composed exclusively
OF Republicans.
1t has been the reputed practice to
invite in the Democratic members OF
the committee on rules after the Re-
publicans have decided upon a course
of action. 1t is being urged that mi
nority representation is a farce.
Among the reasons assigned for max
ing the amendments on the rules at
this session are that a number of the
so-called reformers will not be mem
bers of the next congress; that even
q losing fight this session will strength
en- the reformers next session.
The Democrats are taking little part
in the discussion. The reforners claim
the house leaders will be surprised at
their strength at the meeting next
Tuesday night, which will be open to

Boy Thrown to Pavement
A southbound Moneta avenue car col
lided with a delivery wagon of the
Vile de Paris at Thirtieth and Main
streets at $50 o'clock last night, over
turning the wagon and throwing to
the pavement Brice Cowan of 610 Bel
mont avenue, who was driving the
wagon. The boy, who is aged II, sus-
tanned a severe conclusion of the brain
and several lacerated wounds of the
scalp. He was taken to his home IN
q Pierce Brothers ambulance
The car had slowed down to make
the railroad crossing at that point,
and the boy, evidently thinking it was
going to stop, drove directly in front
Of it. The wagon was badly damaged.
Feast on Ice Cream
Southbound car 155 of the Los An
geles Interurban railway collided at
Seventh and Hill streets last night with
a delivery wagon of L. j. Christopher
& Co.. and overturned it. The driver
Jumped from the wagon and escaped
injury, but several large freezers of Ice
cream in the wagon were scattered
over the street and attracted a half
hundred gamins, who Toasted to their
hearts content until the police drove
them away.
While rounding into the switch at
Second street, between Spring street
and Broadway, at O'Clock last night
81 Redondo Beach car, well filled with
passengers, went off the line. The for
ward trucks of the car, which was east
bound, took the switch all right, but
the rear trucks skidded, throwing the
car off the rails and the rear end close
to the street curbing. The car was
manipulated back to the rails after
thirty minutes work. There was no
damage done and no one was hurt, but
some excitement prevailed, as it was
thought collision had occurred.
Skull Fractured Badly
Nicholas Mierakos. aged II and living
at 800 South Raymond avenue, Pasa-
dena, was badly and probably fatally
injured at 11:15 last night just north Of
Raymond hill. He was returning home
on a Short Line Pacific Electric car,
and alighted, apparently without any
reason other than that he had passed
his getting-off place, when the car was
travelling about forty miles an hour.
Mierakos was picked up unconscious
and taken to the Pacific emergency
hospital, where he was attended to by
DR.. f. F.. Rowland, the company's sur
geon. The latter says the man has
sustained a bad fracture of the skull
and that he has only a slim chance OF
recovering.
