the word labor has come to be used In
a false sense. He sought to define the
difference between capital and labor by
characterizing capital as the product of
labor and q thing which is dead. Labor
he defined as a living thing,~a part OF

Labor can't fight for the liberty OF the

Summary of House.

Washington, May 26.-The two floor leaders of the House again today oc- cupied the center of the stage, and performed their usual feat of charging each other with responsibility Tor the conditions at present existing in that body.
 It came about through an order pre- sented by Mir Payne of New York, granting five days leave after adjourn ment in which to print in the Congres- sional Record the remarks that might have been but were not made on the floor. He took occasion to arraiEn the Democrats for their flibuster and said that the Republicans had no apology to make for their course. Mir. Will Hams accused the majority of doing nothing ct the present session and op- posed the order because 1t gave mem bers no opportunity to reply to state- nnents which he felt in advance would call for an answer. The order was adopted.
 Following this discussion. business proceeded at a rapid gait The con- ference report of the Military Academy appropriation bill was agreed to. Its consideration was marked by vtgor. ous speech by Mir.

Deputies Ride in Auto
 Demand Ear Attachment

Give me an automobile with ears" was the strange and seemingly mex plicable request made of Sh erin Hood by Deputy Wilson. and Deputy Nor man. who stood nearby nodded his head in emphatic approval of the un- usual sentiment expressed. and then the two deputies looked with self-com- miseration at the f1inser-nails of their hands which were peculiarly broken and torn. took each a chew with evil dent satisfaction. and lounRed content edly in the cool jail until the sound of a passing gasoline goodbye" injected sudden spirit into their mlstreated frames.

THREE CURES OF
 SEVERE ECZEMA
Michigan Woman Tells of Her Broth- CTS Terrible Suffering with the DIsease-GtandchlId and Another Baby also Permanently Cured.
CUTlCURA REMEDIES
 PROVED INVALUABLE

My brother had eczema tlAree dff- ferent summers. About the came time each summer 1t came out between his shoulders and down his back. and he said his suffering was terrible. He used df: ferent kinds of medicines that were said to be good for that d4ease. but nothing seemed to do him much good. When 1t came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it s faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely with Cuticura and has never been bothered with eczema since. He also used Cuticura to cure bunch over his eve and a terrible corn which was so bad that he could not wear his shoe. A iadv in Indiana heard of how my daugh- ter, Mrs. Miller. had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczera so badly that they thought they woulc lose it. She used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and 1t cured her child entirely. and the disease never came back.

The deputies knew that there were present those who were eminently qualified for the operation. and they began to grow trine uneasy It was for this req son that. after the party had ensconsed themselves comfortably fin the pantlng vehicle, they instructed the chaffeur to go like they sh ould not have--it is the mode of verbal expression to which ex ception is taken.
 Well, the driver did. And the depu- ties had their finger nails torn off in q successful but frigh tful attempt to, stay where duty called them, with the prisoners, One mile out of Snow doun, Deputy Wilson took a chew of tobacco. He swears that he reached Catonna Creek bridge. four miles away. before the quid got wet enough for him to spit.
 Finally. however, the party artlved in Montgomery without serious n tiap. and they got out. of the nachine witl, a haste that was horrfytng. such ln- tensity of purpose did 1t reveal. And after he could catch hls breath, Deputy Wilson explained why he would never like automobiles.
 T have driven beh ind all kinds of stock he said painfully, and when a horse or a mule begins to turn curve. I have some idea. as to which way the critter Is going to move, by the tilt of the ears, but when that--thing begins to switch you don't know where you are going until you are almost gone and I am not sayhg where" And so Deputy Wilson maintains fOrcibly thar he will never ride in an automobile again until they have an ear attach ment.

BIG AUTO CUP RACE
TO RUN FOR VANDERBILT TROPHY
 IN OCTOBER.
American Association VIII Assume Charge of All Contests and Throws Down Gauntlet to
 Ita Rival

New York. May 26.-~That there will be an automobile race for the Wander bilt cup held this year was authorita- lively announced here tonight
 While oficial announcement was lacking as to detail. 1t may safely be said that the race will be held on Long Island. probably on the Long Island motor parkway. private roadway which 1t Is hoped to have far enough advanced toward completion to permit the running of the big international event over 1t in the fall. A Saturday in the latter part of october will be se- lected. ts
 This decision was made today at a meeting of the racing board of the American Automobile Association which constitutes the Vanderbilt Cup Committee. which also took radical ac- tion looking to control by the Ameri- can Automobile Association of the en- tire automobile racing field in the Uni- ted States. The gauntlet was thrown down to the Automobile Club of Amer lea. which 1t should be stated. was contemplating the holding of rival international race at Savannah, Ga. In automobiling circles here tonight re- prisals of some sort seem to be expect ed on the part of the latter organiza- ton.
 The two organizations have been at odds for some time. friction having .in- creased recently over the rules for the Vanderbilt cup race. against which sew Aral foreign automobIling organizations have addressed protests to the Auto mobile Club of America, which was the foreign representative of the American Automobile Association up to the time of it's withdrawal from the national or ganization some time ago.
 Two drastic resolutions were adopted today. One of the resolutions author izes the chairman to notify foreign au- tomobilins organizations that the Au- tomobile Club of America is a local club situated in the city of New York with out national functions or Jurisdiction" !" The other provided for a general noti- fcation to all foreign and American clubs and manufacturers that the Amer ican Automobile Association, "the ma tional governing body in the United States. will hereafter annually sane ton but three national or international events" namely. the Vanderbilt cup, for racing cars; the annual touring contest for the Giiddcn and other trophies and the Demont Thompson cup contest for stock cars.
 The board announced that the action taken was intended not only to put rac- ing and other contests absolutely in the hands of the American Automobile As sociation. but to keep the number of automobile contests within proper bounds.

forcing an explanation from the sup portcrs of the bili,. they would let 1t go to a vote.
 So many Democratic Senators have recently left for their homes that they realize they would not be able to make an effectual flibuster if inclined to enS gage in one. There were Indeed only four Democratic Senators in the city today It was stated that while the absentees had been requested by tele- graph to return. it was doubtful whether they would obey the summons as most of them had gone away, in- tending to remain. A number of Re- publican Senators are also out of, the city and it is apparent that there will be great difficulty in maintaining n quorum in the Senate if the final dis position of the bill be long postponed.
 It is estimated that Congress could adjourn four hours after the adoption by the Senate and the House of a com promise agreement between the cur rency conferees.
