Yesterday in Congress

Washington, Jan. 12-Following is a
summary, compiled from the official
proceedings, of the work of both
houses of congress yesterday:
SENATE - Senator Tillman was the
central figure, occupying almost an
hour with his carefully prepared speech
in reply to the presidents charges con-
cerning his action in attempting to ac
Quire by purchase some timber lands
of Oregon originally held as a railroad
grant while advocating litigation by
the department of justice to compel
their sale The senate passed a bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for the purchase of
the sequoia grove of big trees in Cali
fornia. A recommendation by the COM
mittee on finance and the committee
on the Judiciary favoring an increase
900 and those of the vice president and
speaker of the house of representatives
was referred to the committee on ap-
propriatiOns. Adjourned at 2:05.
HOUSE - After stormy discussion
the resolution authorizing the granting
of permits to the committee on inaug
ural ceremonies and the use of the pen
sion Office building for the inaugural ball
was compelled to go over for two weeks
, before final action. AS it stands the
section relating to the pension building
was stricken out and a further amend
ment was made refusing permission to
extend overhead wires into the Struc-
ture It was manifest from the outset
| that a majority of those present was
opposed to the pension Office PROPOSE
ltion. Various other measures were con-
sidered and passed, all relating exclu-
sively to the District of Columbia
Speaker Cannon announced the commit
| tee of five which will conduct the in
vestigation into the secret service, pro
vided for by the resolutions of Satur

Toxic, Jan 12-Japanese newspa-

strained relations that may arise
through the passage of bills and the
enactment of laws forbidding the

of public schools by Japanese residents

GUILLOTINE AGAIN USED IN FRANCE
WHILE PEOPLE YELL THEIR APPROVAL

Bethune, France, Jan. 12.-The re-
sumption of the guillotine for capital
punishment in France, after the lapse
of 10 years, took place yesterday, when
four members of the notorious coterie
of murderers known as the Pollet band
suffered the death penalty.
The individuals removed from So
ciety were Auguste Pollet, Able Pollet,
Theophile Deroo and Veromant Canut,
convicted of seven murders, dozen
attempted murders, and a score of
night attacks and robberies. They
were especially brutal in the treat
ment of their victims.
This fact was the cause of parti-
cularly strong clamor for capital pun
ishment and demand that President
Fallieres withhold his pardoning
power.

Executioner Diebler and his aids, work
ed without hitch 1t was erected on

night. The soldiers and police were
strict in maintaining order.
Deroo was the first to be led from
the prison. He had to be helped along
by attendants. He was rapidly piacet
on the plank and his head inserted il
the loophole. Down came the bi!

Nexa came Canut, who rebelled
against the operation. 1t was neces-
sary to put him in place by force. His
case lasted Is seconds. Then the peo-
pie howled again with delight, keeping
count as if there might be 80 others. as
in revolutionary days.
Number three was Auguste Pollet.
He came forward with firm step,
which weakened when he caught sight
of the guillotine In a moment his
head joined the other two in the re-
ceptacle under the knife. The body
rolled into the big basket with those
of his sinister colleagues
The fourth and last was Abel Pollet
AS if. the honors of the climax were
reserved for him the chief of the band
was game to the last. When within
a few feet of the machine the prison
chaplain approached to give benedic
