Saturday

Washington, April 6.-By adopting
a sweeping cloture rule in the house
Saturday the Republicans left to to
Democrats only very limited powers.
No longer can a filibuster be con-
Quoted against sending to conference
bills with senate amendments; no
longer can a motion to close debate
be amended, and no longer can a mo-
ton to adjourn take precedence over
a motion to take a recess.
In printing the rule Mr.. Dalzen
characterized the Democratic flilibus-
ter of the last few days as "asinine,
idiotic end a disgrace to grown men
of full stature
The Democrats were afforded no OPP
portunity to talk on the question and
were ridden over rough-shod. One Of
the few privileges left to the Demo-
Gratis was to force roll call on adj
iournment, and this they did, but to
no avail, as the motion carried over
whelmingly, and accordingly the
house at $3.50 p. m. adjourned until
to-day.

SHOW FOOD SERVED AT PRISON.
Bill iof Fare of Last Week Shown Gov.

Bill iof Fare of Last Week Shown Gov.
Davidson by Board of Control.
Stirred by the charge of Bert
Holdridge, young burglar released
last week from the state reformatory
at Green Bay, that the food served to
the inmates of the reformatory was
poor and inadequate, the state board
OF control filed with Gov. Davidson
the bill of fare for each meal last
week. The meats are furnished by
the big packing companies under con-
tract and are OF the same high quail,
ty as those used at the state insane
aSylums and state schools.
The average amount of meat served
each day for each inmate of the re-
formatory last week was 9.76 ounces
Meat was served three times a day
except on Friday, when fresh fish was
substituted for it for dinner. The bills
Of fare show both variety and album
dance of food at each meal, probably
better than is furnished at many pri-
vate homes in the state.
Before leaving Madison last week
young Ho bridge confessed that he
had lied about the treatment and food
at the reformatory in order to escape
serving another sentence for violating
the federal law by selling unstamped
cigars.

TELLS OF LEAK IN
| NAVY DEPARTMENT
Committee Investigating Sub
marine Charges Hears Start
ling Testimony.
SECRET REPORTS GIVEN OUT
Witness Says He Received Anonymous.
ly Extracts From Reports Made
to Department.

Washington, April S.-The navy de-
company was virtually under investi-
cation yesterday by the special house
committee inquiring into charges pre-
ferred against that company by Rep
resentative Lilley The question as
to whether the company had author
lied illegitimate means to promote
legislation in it's favor was forgotten
in the admissions made by a witness
to the effect that he had secured eX-
tracts of reports made to the navy de-
partment supposed to be confidential.
Got Extracts From, Reports.
The witness was Robert G. Skerrett
of New York, formerly employed in
the navy department, and at one time
the European representative of the
Lake Torpedo Boat company. He
stated frankly that while in the en-
ploy OF the Lake company he received
anonymously extracts from reports
made to the navy department and
that he used these extracts in techni-
cal articles prepared for publication
in magazines. Questioned as to their
source, he replied that he did nca
know from whom they came, and that
he had accepted them as correct and
used them in his articles.
Will Look for Leak.
The climax of Mr. Skerrett's testl-
mony came when he was asked by
Chairman Boutell if he did not consid
er that his action in publishing infor
nation which the United States gov
eminent regarded as secret was high
ly dishonorable His reply was: No.
| think it indiscreet."
1t is the evident intention of the
committee to follow up this new linz
Of evidence, and if possible discover
the leak in the navy department.
1t is doubtful if a witness before q
congressional committee ever was put
through a more searching eXamina'
ton than Mr.. SkerTett.

ting all the telephone and telegraph
wires leading from the village, yegg-

CARNEGIE ADDS 100000.
Increases Fund So That Professors of
State Universities May Benefit

Increases Fund So That Professors of
State Universities May Benefit
New York, April 5.-Announcement
was made last night that Andrew Car
neeie would add 100000 to the fund
of the Carnegie Foundation, or what
ever sum might be necessary, to in
ciude as pension beneficiaries eligible
professors of state universities. NO
provision was made for this class of
educators in the original gift for the
reason, stated by Mr.. Carnegie at the
time, that the donor thought If posi-
bic that such institutions might pre-
fer that their relations should con-
tinue exclusively with the state from
which their chief support was de-
rived This view was not taken by
the National Association of State Uni
versities, which in the year following
the establishment of the foundation
retitioned the trustees for admittance
to the benefits of the retiring allow
ance system. 1t was then found that
the earnings of the original fund of
100000 were exhausted through
the outlet already planned, and that if
the faculties of all state universities
were to be benefited an additional
S., 100000 would be required. The sit
uation was placed formally before Mr.
Carnegie by DR.. Henry S. Pritchett,
president of the Carnegie Foundation,
on March 81 last, and that same day
Mr. Carnegie replied that the money
would be forthcoming for any state
institution whose application received
the approval of the legislature and
governor Of it's state. The additional
donation will be in per cent bonds
providing an added annual income Of
a quarter of a million dollars and q
total for yearly disbursement of $780,
900.
