THE FATE OF LILLEY
BouleII Committee Report ADx. IousIy AWaited--Msy Be in
 T0.M0rr0W.

Washington, May 18.-It is ex- pected that the Boutell committee will submit its report of the subma- rine boat scandal investigation on Tuesday. Meanwhile members of the committee decline to disclose the nature of the report. It is not known whether the committee will make recommendations to the house. It may report only finding of fact without submitting a resolution for adoption.
 It is not expected that the commit tee will recommend Representative George L. Lilley's expulsion, as it was said to have intended to do at one time. It is probable, however, that the committee will criticise MT Lilley to some extent for failing to produce his private letter books and papers, when demanded by the con- mittee, and for other acts of commis- sion and omission to which the con- mittee take exception. Members of the house are wonder ing whether MT Lilley will return to Washington before the Boutell report is made to the house, or is acted up- on. if it is thought to need action. MT Lilley's friends understand that he is sick and they say it would be unsafe for him to return unless his physi- clans consent to such move without question. In case he does not return his interests will probably be looked after by some other member of the Connecticut delegation.

The Duty of Business Men

The experience of the last .Nro months has been of great value. It has awakened people Co a conscious ness of their extravaganza in every direction. It has compelled them to realize that our financial systems are not perfect. and that there Is need of reforms in methods of conducting business, of closer supervision. of more generous policies and greater mutual respect and consideration.
 Everybody has n duty to perform in this connection. Every man who does business. no matter how largs or how small his interests are. is proportion ately responsible for q restoration of confidence. for strengthening rre.IIt and for an Improvement in the bust ness methods of the country
 Nobody can shIrk his duty. Corr mon honesty is the common nee.I. This applies to eveFyhOiy-to news papermen. to professional men. ia public officials. to legislatars. ta n-ali- tieians, and to all neniers or s.res- ety. in proportion Co their fnharaira among their fellow nrn.-Iulgr '. n.

CURIOUS TYPE OF A MAN.
"The" Allen, Wickedest New Yorker,
 a Bundle of Contradictions.

| Bundle of Contradictions.
 "The" Allen," pronounced by Pres ident Roosevelt when police commis- sioner to be "the wickedest and most notorious man" in New York, is dead at 75. He was son of a Methodist minister. He had many brothers and sisters, all of whom chose the course of respectable lives, save one, the notorious "Wes' Allen. who was a thief. often arrested and sometimes convicted. Perhaps "Jess," who was an active republican politician, should be included in the exception.
 'The" Allen led a life which, at least, may be called picturesque. safs boy, the well known Billy" Dan cer, the gambling house keeper, took fancy to him and inducted him into the gambling business. And yet his boast was that he was not gambler. He claimed that he had never backed "a faro game or roulette wheel. :" He kept pool room where others might bet, but he never saw horse race, never bet on horse and never was in his pool room when betting was going forward. and never drank. His pool room was constantly in op- eration. He defied the law for room raided. yet never was evidence obtained against him.
 He was a turbulent man, who fought in rough and tumble on any provocation. He has been charged with all kinds of crimes. from mur- der to assault, but never convicted. He served in the civil war, was hon. orably discharged. with commenda- tions as to his record, leaving the army as lieutenant of the Twenty fifth regiment. For years he was an active republican politician. with no little influence. At one time he kept low dance house and afterwards said the dance house was the one thing in his career of which he was ashamed.
 He accumulated a fortune which is said to exceed a quarter of a mill Hon. He was charitably inclined and gave much money to the poor and to organized charities. His domes- tic life was in singular contrast to the other side of his existence. There he displayed virtues which made his family denounce the stories of his other life as false. A brother. who is a physician. named Martin. insists that The" was poisoned. and de- manded an autopsy. Bu. examina- tion shows that he died of natural causes. For several years The" has been living In retirement. in ill., health. al Bayport. l.. l. It is proba- ble that his will. under which his property is left to his grsnddaugh- ter. who is his daughter ny adoption. will be contested.
 What lesson Is Co be drawn from his life must be left to those who can accurately hold the balance as between the virtues and vices. h. sisting that 1t was no crime to keep a pool room. the tough cd man al- ways claimed that the record of his life would be searched n vain for any wrong doing on his part. A trip to the Holy Land. In the company of his granddaughter. is one of the con tradietory episodes of his Hfe.-l Brooklyn Eagle.

EXPENSIVE CONGRESS-
Total Appropriation Will Be ihe largest on Record-Over
 a Billion Dollars.

Washington, May 1S.-The six tieth congress will have earned the title of a billion dollar congress at the first session before adjournment is taken at the end of this week. It is estimated that the total appropria- ions will reach the enormous sum of $1,026, 100000 which is said to be the largest amount ever appropriated at a single session.
 The various items contributing to make up this prodigious aggregate are as follows: Sundry civil, $120,- 0O0,O00; legislative, executive and judicial, $33,0O0,O00; army, $95,- 3S2,000; post office, $221,765,0 ,000; pensions, $163,OO0,O00; fortifica- tions, S11,500,00O; agricultural, $11,6 900; District of Columbia, $11, ,500,000; diplomatic and consu- lar, $4,000,000; naval, $122,662,- OO0;; Indian, $9,000,000; urgent de- ficiency, $26,000, 1000; public build ings, $25, 5,O00,OO0; general deficiency $17, 7,000,000; military academy, new immigrant station at Philadelphia, relief of cyclone sufferers in the south, etc, $1,500,000; permanent annual appropriations, $154,000, ,000. These appropriations are for the fis- cal year which begins July 1, 1908. It is too early to give anything like an accurate estimate of the revenues of the government during that period of twelve months, but members of the appropriation committees think they will run somewhere between $S50,000,0 900 and $900, ,000, 900. This would mean deficit of between 25,0O0,000 and S175,000 Chair main Tawney of the house committee warned the house last week that the deficit would reach Sf50, 100000 and if this prediction is fulfilled, the sur plus now in the treasury wlli be wip- ed out by June 30, 1909, inasmuch as at the end of this fiscal year there will be deficit of between $60,000,- 900 and $65,000,000.

SALOONS AND soCIABILITY.
Movement to Secure Other Places for
 Recreation.

In the recent local-option cam paign which have closed up many saloons in Illinois the question of providing substitutes for the saloons as places of assembly for the enjoy ment of sociability has been largely ignored. Anti-saloon speakers as a rule say this question will take care of itself. They suggest that the home is a pretty good substitute for the saloon.
 Some of them point out that the average successful workingman passes two or three evenings a week at meetings of his union, fraternal organization, lodge or other society and that on the remaining evenings he could we'll afford, If married either to stay at home or go with his family to the parks, the social settlements or meetings at churches and parish houses. As to specific substitutes for saloons, veteran temperance takers recall that the free recreation and reading rooms established in many towns as a re- suit of the blue ribbon" movement of the sos failed to attract men in any considerable numbers.
 The saloon, of course. is first of all a place for selling intoxicating liquors for profit. Secondarily. and usually M wage-workers' home wards. 1t Is a center for social in- tercourse among men. A sub-com- mittee Of the so-called national com mittee of fifty. in book on cub stitutes for the Saloon" published after an exhaustive sociological in- vestigation In 1901. said: What ever else the saloon may be. or may fail to be. it Is. at any rate. the poor mans club"
 To say that the saloon is a club house or a elubroom is not exactly accurate. for membership in no or ganization Is required for admission to it. The saloon is well described by the old term public house '' New ertheleSs. it is headquarters for sO- ciability. 10 is also true that while man may lose his interest in liquor drinking or may te deprived of an opportunity to indulge in that habit In a saloon he cannot easily lose his natural and necessary inter est in human compznionship.
 This Fellowship factor in the sa- looms attractiveness for many men is constant and should not be left out Of account The movement against the saloon pffl gain in rational method if the temperance leaders devote some Of their energy to making provision for and eaifing attention ta opportunities for sOcial intercourse Tor men outside Of the saioon- -Chicseo NeNs

MONOGAN PROTESTS
We'll Known Doctor Says His Machine Should Not Be
 PenaIized in Race.

H. M. Turrsl, who drove Dr Charles Monagan's automobile in the endurance race Gu Saturday, has entered . protest against the decis- ion of the judges and went to Hart ford this afternoon to learn why the car had been penalized two points. He said before going that he could not understand why he had not a perfect score as the machine went through the contest without mis- hap and until late last evening the judges were of the opinion that the Rambler car had perfect score.
 The reason given in the Hartford Courant this morning why the doc tors car was penalized two points was because of stop on Wander bilt hill. MT Turrell and Dr Mona gan remember making no stop ex- cept those allowable and at no time was the engine of the machine not running. It is true there was a stop of minute and half on Van derbilt hill which MT Turrell had to make but as there was rule in the contest governing such condi- tions there was or should not have been any points taken off for the stop.
 The Rambler with MT Turrell driving and Dr Monagan on the rear seat and an observer in front was on time on both trips through Wa terbury and also at all other con troIs. In fact several of the ob- servers informed MT Turrell that in their opinion the running of bis car was about the equal of any other in the race, even though they did not vote that way when the bal- lot was cast for the most nearly per feet machine in the contest.
 Dr Monagan. the owner of the machine, said this afternoon that he could not understand why he had not a perfect score. Our engine ran excellently throughout the con- test and we fulfilled the conditions to the letter. MT Turrell has gone to Hartford to see whats the trou- ble. We entered and left every con- trol within our time and there is no reason why we should be penalized a single point"

CARE OF HETEROGENEOUS.
Return of Mild Weather Makes Top
 ic a Timely One.

The return of the mild weather makes tine care of the refrigerator a matter of serious importance. A fact that is not often recognized even by careful housekeepers Is that the re- frigerator should never be in a damp and airless place. Dampness will warp the wood and by so doing make the tight closing of the doors impos- sible. This will admit the warm ex- terior air, melt the ice and defeat the purpose for which the refrigerator was built. Proper ventilation is an absolute necessity. Another point to remember is that the doors should he opened as rarely as possible and shut tight as soon as possible. Try to take out or put in all you have to at the same time. then bolt the door, even if you are coming back in minute" l" By trying this experiment you will soon see how much colder your re- frigerator keeps. Do not economiZe by putting in an insufficient quantity of ice.
 This is a mistake. If you keep the ice box packed. or at least well filled, you will have the benefit of the maxi mum cooling capacity of your re- frigerator: otherwise the temperature will never be very low and things will not keep as well. A small refrigerator we'll stacked with ice is more useful than larger one only half full. Ex- cept in certain cases where it cannot be helped, make 1t a rule never to put food directly on the ice.
 If the vent of the ice box communi- cates with the drain 1t should be seen to that good plumber makes the connection in a sanitary way. other wise the sewer gus from the drain may prove dangerous.
 When a pan is used for the water from the refrigerator it should he so large that if cannot overflow before the time comes for emptying it Emp ty the whole box, ice and all. from time to time. and give the refrigerator interior good scrubbing. Some peo- pie object to this plan. as 1t takes little while afterward for the box to get cold again. But 1t makes for absolute cleanliness in the refrigera- tor.

ANOTHER ANARCHY ss'sE.
Illinois Man Has Method for Exter. minating the Evil.

A member of the Illinois legislature is said to be seeking the exterm,na- tion of anarchy by forwarding the passage of bill which provides that any person who shallfpubllcly advo- cate by spoken or written words the killing of any person, whether in H. linois or in a foreign country. shall be guilty of a felony. and shall upon con- viction he sentenced to the penltenti- ary. The advocacy of killing people is certainly not to he encouraged, hut if the bill Is as sweeping as is repre- sented it will put an end. if 1t can he enforced, to such indictments to killing as the championship of war and of capital punishment. and it might even he construed as forbldding the suggestion of putting anarchists to death. We have heard some very good men. when asked what they would do 10 annihilate anarchy, rerly with all the intensity that was ncces- sary. XII themr' Expression of such sentiments as these would he forbid den under the proposed Illinois law, which might he a rather good enact ment if it would cause men to think about what they were saying. The trouble with the bill as a curative is that anarchy is not confined to killing and that man can be a pronounced and confirmed anarchist. theoretical and practical, and have not the slight est inclination for mur,ler.-New Bed ford Standard.
