POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.
Substitute offered for Interest Clause
The Bill Will Be Pressed.

Washington, Jan. 14.-During brief
consideration of the postal savings bank
bill in the Senate today Carter offered
a substitute for the section relating to
the payment of interest on deposits. TIE
new section provides for the payment on
each year of per cent. on deposits of not
less than 81 or more than $500 and accu-
mulated interest. Fulton urged Carter 70
permit the bill to go over in order that
the omnibus claims bill might be taken
up. He ventured the belief that all sen
ators realized that there could be no
vote on the measure at the present ses-
sion.
IAN senators do not realize that" re-
piled Carter.

gests is true" interiected Hopkins, II
hope the bill will be pressed in season
and out of season. 1t is a bill in the
interest of the people and is favored by
the President, by the President-elect and
by the postmaster general, and ii shoul

Carter said that after senators had had
an opportunity to speak he would ask
that day he fixed for vote. The bill

Land hotel here early today, was given
up this afternoon, when the body was

while trying to make his way down a

to death. When last seen he stood at
an upper window begging the tiremen to
save him. Finally he disappeared intp
the interior. No trace of his body could
be found today.

ously hurt but his condition late to-
day was favorable.

bly, ty J. W. Stewart state senator
from SedgcWick county. and w. y.

News. When he was awakened Sena-
tor Stewart ran into the hall and found
r. r. Murdoch, editor of the Eldcrado
Republican, and Mr.. ana Mrs. w. u.
Morgan sroping their way through the
smoke. All started toward the fire es-
capes. but they were cut off by the
flames in the hall. Stewart rushed into
a. room and throwing open the window
grabbed a mattress and threw it out.
The mattress fell on the roof of a two
story building adjoining the hotel, but
to one side of the window. Holding
Murdoch by the hands, very much as
trapeze performers hold each other in
doing "the leap for life,' Senator Stew
art swung Murdoch out from the build
ing end to one side and then let him
drop to the mattress.
Mrs. Morgan and Mr.. Morgan were
drerped to the mattress in the same
way. Mrs. Morgan, however, struck a
timber ON the roof and her leg was
broken. Then Senator Stewart HIM
self jumped out of the window onto
the mattress.
e. r. Jewett, representative from
Sedgewick county and former warden
of the state penitentiary, also helped
several persons to escape.
