Washington, Jan. 9.-The house de-
voted its entire session to discussing
the report OF the special committee
appointed to consider what action
would be taken with regard to that
part of the presidents annual mes
sage regarding the secret service and
his special message In reply to an in
9u1ry from the house asking him for
the grounds on which he based his
remarks. Prior to the discussion the
special committee reported the follow

Perkins Opens the Discussion.
When Chairman Perkins of New
York Of the special committee arose
to make his report he faced an al
most full membership, while the gal
leries were packed with interested
spectators. Messrs. Tawney, Smith of
Iowa, Sherley and Fitzgerald were on
the floor prepared by word of mouth
to resent what they deemed to be the
lnsinuations of the president upon
them as members of the committee
on appropriations. Before presenting
the resolutions Mr.. Perkins spoke at
some length. declaring that the por-
tions of the message objected to were
breach of the privileges of the
house and that body should decline to
consider them.
After Mr.. Perkins had concluded his
lQeech- he gave way to- Mr.. Denhy.

Kansas City.

Kansas City, Jan. 9.-Mystery sur
rounds the deaths of w. G.. Brault, a
salesman of st. Louis, and his wife,
who were found dead in bed in their
room here. There was a distinct odor
of chloroform in the room when the
police entered but no other evidence
that the drug had been used was
found.
The coroner asserts that Mrs.

committed suicide. Friends of the
couple, on the other hand, believe that
the pair met with foul play. Brault
was forty-five years Of age. Mrs.
Brault, who is five years his junior. is

Washington, Jan. 9.-And now it is
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
who is on the trail of President Roose
welt.
BY direction of President Roosevelt
secret service men shadowed Senator
Tillman of South Carolina on the the
ory that he possibly was interested in
an Oregon land grab" and the result
of that investigation is now before
the senate
The information was contained in
communication from President Roose-
velt, sent in response to a request
made by Senator Hale to the heads
of the executive departments for
statement of the activity of secret
service operatives. Exhaustive re-
plies were made by the various de-
partments and all of these were for
warded to Senator Hale by the pres.
ident. They have not been made pub
lie and Senator Hale announced that
they would not be given out until
after they had been considered by
subcommittee of the committee on
appropriations which will be charged
with the duty of acting upon that por
tion of the presidents annual message
relating to the secret service and
criticising members of congress for
their restriction of it's use.
Soon after President Roosevelt's
communication to Senator Hale was
received at the Capitol 1t became
noised about that it contained re-
Election upon a senator from a South
ern state. The name of the senator
was not divulged for time and as
result the atmosphere of the senate
was surcharged with curiosity and
much speculation.

No Further information.

When it finally became known that
Senator Tillman was the member
named further efforts to procure in
formation concerning the character OF
the charges were made, but without
avail
Through the fact that several sena-
tors had advance information of the
character of the report which was to
be sent to the senate 1t was learned
that the investigation of Senator Till
man followed an attack which he
made in the senate nearly a year ago
upon an Oregon land company which
had used his name as ono Nf the per-
sons interested in the concern. Pre-
vious to that attack Senator Tillman
had introduced a resolution directing
the attorney general to prosecute suits
against an Oregon railroad corpora
tion which had received land grants
In the late sixties for a line from a
California point to Portland, Ore. Mr..
Tillman had said that the use of his
name was without authority and as a
result it is declared that several per-
sons interested in the land grants be-
came angered.
Some of the interested parties are
reported to have sent to President
Roosevelt copies of letters alleged to
have been written by Senator Tillman,
indicating that he had an interest in
one of the land companies which
would be benefited through land COM
panies obtaining possession Of the
grants in question. After receiving
this information it is said a secret
service operative was directed to in
was alleged to have taken in the land
cases.

Women and cards.

It seems that the passion for card playing among Jewish women is not of recent date. More than a century ago Miss Rebecca Franks wrote:
 The ladies of Philadelphia have more cleverness in the turn of an eye than those of New York have in their whole composition. With what ease have I seen a Chew, Penn. an Os- wald or an Allen and a thousand oth- CTS entertain a large circle of both sexes. the conversation without the aid of cards never Tagging nor seem ing in the least strained or stupid. Here in New York you enter a room with formal set courtesy. and after the how-dos things are finished. All is dead calm until the cards are intro duced. when you see pleasure dancing in the eyes of all the matrons, and they seem to gain new hfe."-Hebrew Standard

Phases of tho National Game.

There are two sides to almost any thing, and the national game is far from being an exception. From the standpoint of the baseball enthusiast -Four town has club in the league.'' From the standpoint of the profession hl player the league has a club in each fity- In the heart of the baseball pa- triot our club is band of heroes, going put to conquer other cities and uphold our honor. In the mind of the man with soul so dead they are stock com panies-properly financed. To the ex- cited partisans' at . game each player Is an earnest contestant for his side. To the man who Is from foreign parts 1t would be an important fact that they are hired men, employees with salaries set by companies that all be long to the same corporation, and that they get their pay for playing and not for winning. To the public it is a game. To the president of the com pany 1t may be a good or bad per formance.

"She's suffered over eneuch at the haunds O yer countrymen in the past that ye sud treat her sac sair the day. Hit the ba', man, an let the grun' alane."
 "Confound Scotlandw shouted the exasperated golfer. finging down his club in a rage. 'Its just what pr. Johnson described it-sstone, water and a little earth.'"
 "Sae the docther said that, did he ?'' Inquired the caddie.
 "He did. and he was a very wise man, let me tell you," snapped the Engiishrnan.

Must Have Loved Him.

Many stories have been told of a Manchester man who is supposed to be the-well. to put it humanely-plainest man in England. But we think the fol- lowing is the funniest:
 Mamma" child was heard to say in an awestruck whisper after a pro longed survey of the peculiar features of the guest, "that gentleman's man. ma must have loved children very, very much"
 ''Why so. my dear?'' inquired the un- suspecting parent.
 "Oh," returned the child in the same audible whisper. "'cause she brought him up.''-Strand Magazine.
