ing the nine-foor sheet bill, otherwise
known as the Whitenurst-Murry hotel
inspection bill. Numerous amendments
mostly of a jocular character. were Of
fered. but the only notable one adopt
ed was the one BY Cordell, requiring
that all bed clothes be long enough
to cover both ends of the guest at the
same time.
The bill is the one which has been
asked by the travelling men of the
state and was put through largely on
their account. The debate on the bill
was enlivened throughout by attempts
to put the bill in the freak class, one
of the unique amendments offered be-
ing that by W. H. Johnson, providing
that no guest should sleep with his
feet out Of the window unless they
had been disinfected.
The senate also passed to third |

COURTESY TIE CAUSE

Washington, May e.-The removal Of
restrictions bin has struck another
snag In the senate.
Senator's Teller. LaFollette, Davis
and McCumber are all interested in
the bin and desire to be present dur
ing its consideration.
A hurried call home has made it
necessary for Senator Davis to invoke
the much abused senatorial courtesy
rule, and it is likely that the senate
will refuse to consider the bill during
his and LaFollette's absence from the
city.
Another delay of two weeks is there
fore within range of possibilities. In
deed there are some who believe 1t
win be defeated by these tactics.

Ready to Fly the Coop
When Discovered
New Prison a
Strong One

Peerlng through bars at the strong
iron cages that are being installed at
the new jail, realizing that they would
soon be confined within those steel
wallis and taking advantage Of the
noise caused by the hammering on
the new structure, prisoners at the
county jail laid plans for escape and
had almost executed them when the
officials nipped the scheme this morn
ing.
There are sixteen prisoners in the
jail but only four Of them are known
to have been implicated in the plot.
Through some means unknown a file
was secured and a heavy iron bar
across an inner door was wrenched
off and used to pry the bolts from the
thick sheet iron that covers the east
window Work on this window had
been in progress for a day or two
when Deputy Yerta and the sheriff
got next to what was going on and
promptly foiled the plans OF the would.

work the window could have been
opened furnishing an easy avenue OF
escape for the whole bunch.
The prisoners implicated in the at.

grand larceny; Harrison Arnold, petit
larceny and Blain Mccoy, suspected
of completely IN murder.

fiye-ply steel, so hard that it is impos-
sible to file, saw or drill into them.
Swinging canvas cots, two above and
below in each cell win furnish reposa
for the weary prisoners at night. BY
clever mechanical arrangement at

The steel structure rests on a solid
