The only incident worthy of note
in the house, and which caused a
good deal Of amusement, was a brief
discussion of the forthcoming African
hunting trip of the president. Incl
dentally there was a reference to the
famous so-called Ananias club. The
whole debate hinged upon a news
paper story stating that Maj. Edgar
o. Kearns of the army was to accom-
pany the president, and that in order
to do SO he had been put on the re-
tired list with increased rank. The
matter was brought up by Mr.. Mann
of Illinois in connection with the con-
sideration of a bill authorizing the is
suance of commissions to officers who
retire with increased rank. The re-
mainder of the day was devoted to
the consideration of number of mis-
cellaneous bills and resolutions.

Iron corporation as another arbitrary
and lawless act Of the chief magis-
trate," Senator Culberson of Texas in
troduced a resolution in the senate
yesterday instructing the committee
on the judiciary to report at as early
day as possible whether, in the opin-
ion of that committee, the president
was authorized to permit such ABSORB
ton.
Mr.. CulberSOn at considerable length
discussed the president and insisted
that congress had the right to give di-
rections to a head of an executive de-
partment under certain conditions.
Senator Hopkins declared that the
Texas senator was not properly repre-
senting the president and said that
Mr.. Roosevelt had not approved the
action of the steel corporation, but
that he had merely mot felt it his
duty to oppose such action
