TALKING itch disappears, and contin-
ued applications of this external rem

DOOMED TO DEATH

friends. few though they are i'll num-
Der, were willing to admit last night
that it is ready for its shroud and

Today the senator tried to inject
some elixir of life into his bill by de
livering a speech to which gave pains
taking preparation. The brilliant
calcium lights were turned on and eX-

WOULD IGNORE THE
CIVIL SERVICE LAW
House Committee Gets Opin-
ion on Census Bill.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The house
committee on census. Representative
Crumpacker chairman. is conducting
hearings on that section of the bill
providing for the 1910 census which
proposes to ignore the civil service
law in the appointment Of the special
census force. w. r. Merriam, who
was director OF the last census. is one
of the persons whose advice has been
sought by the committee. He recon-
mended that the directO of the cen
sus prepare special examinations and
that these be given by the civil service
commission. The appointments would
then be made on the old system, pre-
sumably under the nOncompetitive
system. In the opinion of those who
are familiar with the situation, the
proposed plan would be little, if any,
in advance over the old system
1t is Only Hope.
The president has been seen and
labOred with. 1t is said by the spoils
advocates that they will probably be
able TO arrange some compromise
where by Mr.. Roosevelt will consent
to the census bill on the proposed
system provided that there is a provis-
ion TO the effect that the census en-
ployes thus appointed shall not be
blanketed into the civil service after
the census is over by some scheme
similar to those which have been
worked in the past. This is still a
hope rather than a positive assertion
on the part of the spoilsmen.

Washington, Feb. John Wesley
Gaines, of Tennessee, is a great man
to make speeches. He has flights of
oratory that are really enjoyable.
Sometimes his experimenting is the
basis for good stories, and the mem
bcrs of the house find real delight in
telling them between sessions.
Recently Mr.. Gaines made Il fine
speech The members of the house
were rapt in attention as he climbed,
rung by ruug, the oratorical ladder.
Finally, he reached the climax.
Can anybody tell me right now
how much it costs to run this con-
grcss!" he shouted. Il want to know"

kustermann paused a minute TO give
the member time for reflection. Then
he continued.
"A further figuring shows that the
gentleman from Tennessee has con
sumed exactly $3.50 worth of time for
he has been talking this last half hour
1t will continue to cost $l46 4 minute
as long as he continues to address us"
It was the first speech Mr.. kuster
mann made, and he sat down, rather
self conscious and flushed in the face.
So did Mr.. Gaines.

BANK IS DYNAMITED
A BOMB WRECKS FRONT OF BUILD
ING.


New York. Jan. 23.---An exploding
bomb tonight wrecked the front of an
italian bank building on Elizabeth
street, exposing 10000 in silver and
gold. which the bankers. Pasquale A.
Patie G. Son had piled in the windows
as evidence OF their ability to pay de-
positors on demand.
The junior partner. Salvatore Patie.
who was on guard inside, was cut by
the glass that crashed in upon him. but
stuck by his charge and soon had the
money stored away In the vaults.
The bomb throwers. who were not
seen by the bankers, were quickly lost
in the crowd and their motive is a mys-
terry. If robbery was the object, the
perpetrators, 1t is believed, were anna
tours who lost courage at the critical
moment when the tempting treasure
was within arms reach from the street.
Patie, the elder, Is one of the most
prosperous Italian bankers of the city.
The institution is capitalized at $780,
900.
