are i'll debt and must have the
money no matter what price
they get for their grain.

House Passed s1o,ooo War Bill.

In the House the main feature was the debate upon and passage of the bill appropriating Sl0.0O0 as a contin- gent fund fer the attorney general to be used in defending the suits now pending in the United States Supreme Court, relative to the Wingo act and other acts, particularly the Barker demurrage law. both of which have been called into question on the charge of invalidity.
 The bill was attacked on the ground that the appropriation is unnecessary i'll that 1t is the business of the at torney general to look after the states legal interest and see that the acts of the legislature are enforced. Those advocating it's passage contended that the present appropriation is not for the ordinary expenses of the office of attorney general, but for eXtraordina ry contingencies, for the payment of witnesses in securing testimony and of expert assistants, if, in the dis cretion of the attorney general. such are needed.

 Mabray, Clark, Johnson and Warner were arraigned before United States Commissioner w. $. Allen on charges of using the mails to defraud. They pleaded not guilty, and a continuanc ce was taken until March ,, to permit the government to get i,s witnesses here. Mabray was held under $l5,00O bond and the others under $10,00C each. The cases brought were purely for the purpose of holding the men until cases can be brought in the state courts.
 The women who were with the par ty left the home on Pulaski Heights, l telling the negro servants they would be back for supper.
 Ten thousand dollars in money and diamonds was taken off the prisoners after they were arrested and the men are believed to have $50,000 more.
