A Family Quarrel.

y
The attempt at suicide is reported
to have originated over family quar-
rel, which took place between Mrs.
Gordon and her husband. They re-
side above the saloon and about mid
night last night, got into a quarrel, at
the end of which the woman picked up
the bottle of carbolic acid and tried to
take her life by drinking the contents.
Mr. Gordon knocked the bottle from
her hand, but not until she had taken
a small quantity of the acid.
A physician wass called and the wo-
man was removed to the hospital
this morning at about 8 o'clock, where
she is being given attention. At the
present time. it cannot be stated
whether the woman will. recover or
not and developments are being watch,
ed by those attending her.
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gordon came to
Keokuk about four weeks ago from
Mystic, Iowa and the husband secured
a position as bartender at Tumelty's
saloon. The couple took rooms above
the saloon.

CITES LAWLESS ACTS
CONGRESS ITSELF VIOLATES THE
 STATUTES.
Mir. lzurd0ek Declares That the House is Dominated by Speaker mnd .. Dares Members to
 ReheI.

E. Washington, Jan. 2e.-"Under the control of the Speaker of the House, and the enormous power with which he is armed, can the individual member properly discharge his duties to the ration?"
 This was the query propounded today by MT. Murdock (Kas.l in the course of speech in. the House of Representa- lives.
 Mr Murdock proposed four concrete propositions.
 In one he cited case in which he said secret service agent under Congressional Commission, had been paid over s28 & day, which, he said. was an outrageous sum, and the sec- ond one, in which, for twenty three years. the President of the Michigan Central Railroad had been paid $1,O00 a year, as a mail messenger to make up for pay for the transportation of mails on railroads which, MT. Murdock said, could not be done under the law.
 As third instance. he charged that an excess payment of &35,O00 a year had been made to the Eads Bridge Company at St. Louis for mail charges.
 The fourth was the payment by the House of Representatives itself of $5,000 a year for trivial clerical duty.
 And now," he said. "I challenge any member of this body, who 1t not a chairman of an Appropriation Com mittee, to secure a correction through Congressional action in these four of the Speaker or without his consent, or that of any of the chairmen." He would, he declared, at later day, attempt to bring about 8 reform in this regard. but with no hope of suc- cess"

INQUIRY TO PROCEED
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FACES AN
 EMBARRASSING SITUATION.
Special Committee Decides Senate Has No Right to Call Upon Roosevelt For Information Concern.
 ing Steel Merger.

Washington, Jan. 26.-That the Sem ate has no right to call upon Presi- dent Roosevelt for information which he may have obtained from the United States Steel Corporation when he countenanced that concerns absorp- ton of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. is the opinion of tho special committee on judiciary appointed to investigate the merger.
 The situation Is proving decidedly embarrassing to the judiciary commit tee but regardless of this fact, 1t has been decided to proceed with the in- quiry and report to the Senate wheth- CT the President had authority to per- init the merger.
 When the committee called upon Att torney General Bonaparte to appear before 1t at a recent meeting, Q reply was received declining the invitation. This invitation was not made public. It is now known that MT. Bonaparte directed the committees attention to the act to establish the Department of Commerce and Labor and argued that 1t Is a bar to any demand for such information as the President may have acquired concerning the necessi- ty for the absorption of the Tennessee concern. Under that act, whom the Commissioner of Corporations is em- powered to gather From corporations engaged in interstate commerce. such data and information as will enable the President to make recommenda- tions to Congress for regulation. This provision of law concludes as follows:
 And the information so obtained, or as much thereof as the President may direct. shall be made public"
 The data supplied to the President by Judge E. H. Gary and H. T. Prick as to the necessity for the merger. ac- cording to Mir. Bonaparte. comes with in this clause of the commerce. and labor act. Without this information. 1t is difficult for the committee to pro- ceed.
 Although several meetings have been hold the judiciary commttte has not been able to decide upon any course of procedure which would not seem to threaten a quarrel with the Presi- dent. There is a disposition on the part of a majority of the members of the committee to proceed with the in- quiry. although no program has been arranged.
 The suggestion has been made thai all of the information required could be given by Messrs. Prick and Gary, but no decision to subpoena these men has been reached
