CORPORATION BUREAU
TO MAKE REPORT SOON
Representative Scott Advocates
Thorough Examination Into Mat
.ter--Will Probably Result
In Hot Debate
In House.

Washington, March 19.-The House
committee on interstate commerce to-
day went on record in favor of an
investigation of the cotton and grain
exchanges. The proposition that the
gambling methods of the exchanges
be investigated was brought before
the committee by Representative
Scott of Kansas.
Mr.. Scott as chairman of the
House agricultural committee, has in
troduced an anti-option bill. He has
also offered a resolution directing the
department of commerce and labor
to make a report on margin transac-
tions in grain and cotton. He went
before the committee on interstate
commerce and made a statement in
support of this resolution. He stated
that the agricultural committee had
received many requests for hearings
on the proposed anti-option legisla-
ton. These requests have come from
representatives of boards of trade
who oppose 1t and from grain dealers
and others who favor 1t.
"If the agricultural committee
should hold hearings" said Mr.. Scott.
and these men should be called be-
fore It, each side merely would ex-
press its opinion. The chances are
that nerther would have facts that
would enable the committee to deter
| mine which opinion was right. The
only way to got the facts regarding
| margin transactions Is to Investigate
| the business of the exchanges. Let
the bureau OF corporations ascertain
what percentage of transactions are
on margins and report the result of
its inquiries to Congress"
The members of this committee
were unanimous in favor of the reso-
lutions. 1t was finally decided to
inquire of the secretary of the de-
partment OF commerce and labor IL
that department can finish the in
vestigation and submit a report at
| this session of Congress. If so the
resolution will be reported to the
House.
A stirring debate on gambling on
| exchanges Is expected when the agri-
| cultural appropriation bill comes be-
| fore the House next week. Several
members have prepared amendments
| making transactions in options un-
| lawful. These amendments will prob
ably lead to an exhaustive discussion
| of the business methods of the ex-
| changes.

company presented today shows a
profit of $23,479,OOO as against $17,-

Washington Is Expecting News.

Washington, March 19.-While
Senator Elkins refuses to discuss the
reported engagement of his daughter.
Katherine, to the Duke of Abruzzi, a
cousin of the king of Italy, 1t Is un-
derstc2d that the formal announce
ment of the betrothal will be made
in a day or two. The publication of
the story set Washington society buzz
zing with excitement, for such a
marriage is little short of royal al
lance.
The duke travelled from Rome to
Florida as Signor Ludovico Sarto. He
is attended now only by confidential
secretary and valet, in great contrast
to his visit to America less than a
year ago, when he came to the
jamestown exposition as the official
representative of his king, in COM
mand Of the Italian fleet.
1t was at an official reception az
the italian embassy that the Duke OF
the Abruzzi met Miss Elkins. From
that day to the present he has never
wavered in his allegiance or aban-
doned the idea of winning her, de-
spite all obstacles of royal etiquette
difference of nationality, religion and
position in life.

SOME REQUESTS
ARE IGNORED
No Money viii be Available for
FeWlmpOrtdnt Places and Others
Must Get Along With a Third
of the Amount Asked In
ORIGINAL Bill.

Washington, March 19.-The fOru-
fications bill, carrying a total approp-
riation Of SS,210,6i1 instead of the
$3S,443,g45 asked for by the war de-
partment, was reported to the House
committee on appropriations by the
chairman of the subcommittee on
fortifications, Representative Smith.
The subcommittee felt. aside from
other considerations, that to recom-
mend an appropriation of 3S million
dollars for fortifcations az this time
would be an action which might be
very reasonably construed by Japan
as an official declaration that the
United States was preparing for war
with that nation.
The amount recommended by the
committee Is larger than any annual
appropriation since the Spanish Am
erican war. The cutting down of the
departments estimates by $30,233,-
334 means, among other things that
the committee has recommended
practically nothing for continental
United States and has appropriated
mainly for the Hawaiian and Philip
pine Islands. The committee has
turned down entirely the depart
ment's proposal for the fertilization
of Manila harbor by the construction
and fertilization OF an artificial is
land and nothing Is carried for Sublg
bay.
Money For Puget Sound.
The only points in continental
United States appropriated for in the
bill as revised by the committee, are
Deception Pass in Puget Sound;
pIA nj
Mobile, Ala, and various points
where expenditures are required for
the installation of range finding ap-
paratus. For the Hawaiian Islands
practically everything is allowed that
was recommended by the Taft board,
excepting the fertilization of Pearl
Harbor. Provision is made for the
fertilization of Caraboo Island, Man
lila Bay.
How the Estimates Were Cut.
The following brief comparison
gives an idea of the way the war de-
partments estimates We're pruned in
the committee. For the Philippine
islands S6,4S9,O00 was asked. This
included $3,50O,OO0 for the construc-
tion and Notifications of an artificial
island in Manila bay, which was en-
tirely disallowed, and 100000 for
range finding, which was cut to
100000. The department wanted
100000 for Pacific coast cannon
in the insular possessions, and was
given 100000 For implacements in
continental United states $4,2470O0
was asked and only 100000 was al
lowed; for range finding $1,6S5,OO0
was asked, and $27O,O00 was allowed;
for supplying electric urrent for bat
terry and other uses s1,OOO,OOO was
asked and 100000 was allowed.

out May Spread to Other
Gould Roads.

Denver, March 19.-One hundred
strike breakers who have been en-
ployed by the railroad to take the
places of union boilermakers, black
smiths and machinists in the Denver
& Rio Grande shops here, arrived
from Chicago this morning They
were taken at once to the shops at
Burnham and put to work in the
places of the men who are out on
strike
In a dispatch received from Chi
cago an employment agency Is quoted
as saying The company wants 1000
bollermakers and machinists at good
wages. They will be paid at the rate
of as cents an hour" This Is high
er rate than was paid the union men
who quit.
1t is probable that strike breakers
will be employed in all the shops
where the union men have quit, and
In this case it is understood that the
trainmen will quit in sympathy with
the union men who left their work
when the road abrogated its contracts
with the unions. In this event 1t Is
probable the strike will quickly
spread to all the other roads in the
Could system.

ticed brothers sailing boats IN q water trough.
I picked up leather strap which used for my
boat, and, not knowing 1t would sink, I put # in
the water. but il sank to the bottom OF the trough
which was about three feet deep. Leaning over
the trough TO get my boat 7 lost my balance and
fell head first into the water.
However. I managed to get out OF my sudden
bath, more wet than hurt Then I ran to the
house and got a dry suit
After being dressed ii clean clothes went into

my eyes were the good things on the table I
unconsciously sat chair which lay sheet

opened the cage door, and they knew II in a
minute and would march out like soldiers. Such
a picnic as they had. eating and running around
and sometimes they hid under the board walk and
out so 7 could catch them. They cid not like TO
go hack in the cage. When I put a piece Of bread
in the cage they would all fight for it and slap
playing on the grass my little sister thought they
did not eat the bread fast enough, so she pushed
a piece in the throat OF one, and it looked like
kitten having 1T, and soon died. Sister felt very
badly for they were tame and would go TO
sleep On her neck under her curls. and would
eat from our hands, standing on their hind legs
and begging like d dog, and when they went 10
sleep they looked like ball of cotton. We had
fun sometimes in the street; when people were
passing we would let all the mice out on the
walk and they must have looked like bears, the
way the women ran. One day, when the mice were
out in the garden put kitten in their cage
and she had a fit I wonder why she did ms
mice grew, quite large. and everything was nice
about them but their tails. They were as VhI1e
