Gratis be called to consider the question
OF disorder.
The racket in the House during the
consideration Of public busienss has
been worse this session than ever be-
fore, old-timers say, and Mr. Foster
thinks il is about time some hing was
done.
Representative Douglas Of Ohio in
terrupted Mr.. Foster, desiring to know
why the speaker could not maintain
order by calling out the names of those
members who refuse to heed the thump
ing Of the gavei or the admonitions OF
the chair. That is where Speaker Cam
non entered the debate. In all bis term
of public service, he said, he had only
once heard speaker-and that was
crisp-call the name Of a member out
of order.
'In that case" said the speaker. "the
offending member was made to walk
to his seat, ahead of the mace. He
vas big enough man to stand it, but
| would hate TO have it happen to
me-"
Mr.. Cannon is thought IL he called
out the name OF members who were out
OF order they would resent it.
RI. Foster remarked, in concluding
bis speech, that II members of the
House we're gentlemen they certainly
should behave as such. He didn't get
much Of hand as be took his seat.

They Start Out to Rush I'm
pOrtant Measure
POSSIBILITIES ARE RENEWED
Pension Agencies Stand--Senate Kills
the House Plan to Abolish
Them--This in Fact Of
Distractions.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The Senate
leaders started out again yesterday
with set determination to rush through
the general appropriation bills in spite
of Senator La Toilette, who was in
his seat early and ready to fight.
The first renewal of hostilities came
when Senator McCumber submitted the
pension appropriation bill and moved
TO proceed to consideration.
Mr.. La Toilette promptly rose.
Debate on that motion is not in or
der" said Mr.. Lodge.
Il realize perfectly well that debate
is not in order" replied Mr.. LaFollette,
Il realize that / cannot proceed 10
make a brief statement except by un-
animous consent. II | cannot get the
consent now | will make the statement
later when [ can proceed within the
rules"
''Let him go ahead,p urged several
Republican senators in chorus and Sen.
stor McCumber, in charge Of the bill
yielded.
The senator from Wisconsin had lit
tie TO say. He explained that he was
a member OF the committee on pensions
which had reported the bill and had at.
tended the hearings. Tho bill, he ex-
planned, was routine bill appropriate
ing money to meet official estimates.
II am familiar with the provisions"
said he, "and do not desire further time
10 consider il, but if any other senator
here desires to examine the bill i will
ask that II 90 over for day"
No senator expressed a desire TO ex.
anime it and the consideration proceed
ed.
The Republican leaders are taking no
chances on tho iiilibustering that may
send some OF the important appropria-
ton bills over to the special session.
Realizing that time is limited, they
started out yesterday to rush things.
The Indian appropriation bill was re-
ported; the army appropriation bill.
reported last night, is on the table to
be called up at any time, and Senator
Hale secured the appointment Of con.
ferees on the naval appropriation bill
yesterday morning.
There Is a story about that Mr.. La
Toilette hopes to send the appropriation
bills over to the extra ses on to force
a reorganization Of Senate and House
committees at that time. This the

URGE BIG CUT In
DUTY ON PAPER
House Committee Suggests Reduction
From SO to 50 Per Ton For
News Printing.

Washington, FEB. 2o.--A reduction in
the duty on news print paper from Sc
a ton to $2 toni the placing Of ground
wood on the free list, and the establish
ment OF a duty for one-twelfth of a
cent per pound on mechanically ground
wood pulp, are the unanimous recon-
mendations Of the select committee on
pulp and paper investigation which
made its report to the House yester-
day.
"There are three processes generally
used In this country for the production
of pulp or nbre from wood says the
report. 'These are the ground wood
process, s,lphite process, and the soda
process. The cheaper grades Of paper
are usually produced by mechanical
mixing ground wood pulp with other
kinds of pulp in different degrees of
percentage. The ordinary news print
paper ia generally producsh by the use
OF about so per cent. OF ground wood
and about 20 per cent. Of sulphite
wood. Whether other kinds Of wood be
sides spruce can protitably used for
the production Of cheap print paper is
a matter concerning which there is
some difference of opinion"
The report states that it would
seem that the production OF news paper
or the other very cheap grades Of paper
are today dependent upon the continu-
alton of cheap ground wood produced
from spruce trees, and that that condi
ton is likely to prevail in the future.
The amount Of spruce consumed in the
United States, according to the report,
in 1907 was about 100000 cords for
ground wood, about 100000 cords for
sulphite fibre, and about 3,450,0o0
cords for lumbs The amount of
standing spruce Is variousiy estimated
but is roughly guessed TO be about
20 1000 900 cords east OF the Rockies.

Gary Attacks immigration Commits
sion For Alleged Extravagance.

Washington. Feb. 20.--An attack up.
on the immigration commission for its
alleged eRtrayaganee and failure to ac-
complish anything was made in the
Senate by Senator Gary of South Carl
Lima.
Senator lodge and Senator Dilling-
ham are members of the commission.
Senator Gary devoted large part
of his remarks TO discussion of tho
immigration problem. He deplored the
influx Of low caste foreigners who are
brought, he asserted, not because Of
any economic need, but because the
steamship companies find their trans
Portation profitable. lie said that the
South does not need these undesirable
aliens, and declared that the agitation
looking toward their removal 60 that
section was a part of scheme of the
steamship companies to make room in
the congested cities for more foreign
erE.
The time has come. said he, when for
the sake Of race integrity the doors DC
the United States must be closed to
the paupers, criminals and degenerates
of southern Europe, who fill our penal.
institutions, break our laws and care
nothing for our institutions of liberty.
Speaking Of the immigration commits
sion, he said that the books of the an
ditor show that this commission has al
ready expended upward of 1855 900,
One man draws salary OF $500 and
expenses OF 5000 month. The senator
said he was reliably informed thar this
man had not lost day from HIS rer.
ular profession since his appointment
to the commission.

Italian Athletic Club the.Loser
20 to 7
BOTH TEAMS PLAYED HARD
The Goddard Girls Team Was Defeated
Last Night by the Score Of 20 to 20
at the Church Street
Gymnasium.

The Italian athletic club basket ball
team went down in defeat last evening
at the hands Of the quintet representing
the Burlington high school at the Granite
street hall. The Italians were outplayed
and the score at the end of 40 minutes
of rough work was 20 70 I in favor of
the Burlington team. Lack OF team
work, coupled with some hard luck in
basket throwing, accounted for the de-
feat OF the local team.
The game started with both teams
going at limit speed and foot ball tactics
were in order from the start. Neither
team showed much but strength during
the first period although David did cage
goal with snap shot from difficult
angle for his team.
The first period ended with an eight
TO five score in favor OF the Queen City
five.
In the second period the Burlington
team got in some effective passing and
easily outplayed the local team. the
period ending with IL points for the
visitors and only two for the Italians.

WITH AXE SHE
SAVED HIS SOUL
At Least, That's the Indian idea Of the
Decapitation Of Father by His
Daughter.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Feb. 20.--A weird
tale of a young Indian girl Staying her
father to save his soul from perdition
has been brought in from the Lake Nipi-
gon county. Returning home after a
long hunting trip, an old Indiana, Zeabe
by name, explained to his family that
he had killed his best friend. Zeabe said
that the homicide had taken place dur
ing a disprte over the possession OF
some fox skins
The murder so preyed on the old In
dams mind that be was unable to rest
or sleep. Believing that if he gave up
his own life his soul would be saved,
Zeabe asked several acquaintance 70
kill him, but they refused. Going TO his
own home, he placed an axe in the hands
of his daughter and commanded her to
kill him. She at first declined, but finally
consented. After her father had said
good bye, the girl swung the axe with
all her strength, completely severing the
head from the body.
Ii was held by the police that the
killing was iustitiable, az the father was
threatening 10 take the lives Of his two
young sons If the daughter did not kill
him.
