The p. A. Y. E. Cars in Summer.

If the hundreds of passengers who have
enjoyed the comfortable and convenient
18th street cars for SO long (and were the
best in the city will express their opinion
on the pay-as-you-enter ears we may be
able to prevail upon the company to keep
at least the few remaining yellow cars on
the line for the benefit of the public that
are so bitterly opposed to the new green
cars. What will We do without the dear
old summer land the hot weather
will soon be here when we want to en-
joy cool ride? Imagine being shut in
one of these new green cars with backs
at the windows. opposite view only pas
sengers. 1t would be far from an en-
joyable. cool ride. We were all satisfied
before these cars came, and many now
stand on the streets waiting a long time
to get the oldtime cars.

HOUSE PASSES CENSUS BILL
PROVISION MADE FOR COMPETE
TIVE EXAMINATIONS.
Printing to Be Confined to Govern
ment Shop-Appointments to Be
Legally Apportioned.

The census bill. with those features
eliminated to which President Roosevelt
objected so strenuously that he vetoed
the measure. was passed by the House of
Representatives yesterday afternoon.
When the bill went to Mr.. Roosevelt near
the close of the second session of the
Sixtieth Congress. it contained no provi-
sion for competitive civil service tests as
a requisite for appointment under the
census.
\ fight was also made against allowing
the printing to be done outside the gov
eminent printing office. Both of these
| objections were remedied in the new bill.
introduced by Representative Crumpacker
of Indiana. and which was passed yes
terday without material amendment.
The bill, which was considered under
a special rule without being referred to
a committee. provides for taking a census
of population, agriculture, mines and
manufactures Of the United States by the
director of the census in 1910, and every
ten years thereafter. Every state and
territory on the mainland Of the United
States, the District of Columbia and
Alaska. Hawaii and Porto Rico are to be
covered.
To Be Legally Apportioned.
There was considerable debate under
the ffve-minute rule, during which several
! members. among them Representative
Hughes of New Jersey. opposed the pro-
vision giving preference to persons on the
eligible list who. by reason of residence
or other conditions, are Immediately
available.
The objection was based on the posi-
billy that this provision might defeat the
purpose of the competitive test and en-
able politicians to obtain appointments
regardless of standing on the eligible list.
An amendment. offered by Mr.. Sterling
of Illinois, was agreed to providing that
appointments SO far practicable, be
made according to the law of apportion-
ment.
tuberculosis Applicants Barred.
Representative Bennett of New York
offered amendment prohibiting the
appointment of persons suffering from
tuberculosis. He suggested that a phys
ical examination be required of all candi-
dates to ascertain whether or not they
suffer from contagious diseases. The
amendment was modified to permit candi-
dates to present certificates Of health
from reputable physician. The amend
ment was agreed to on standing vote,
but Representative Crumpacker of In
diana demanded tellers. The amendment
was again agreed to. II to A.
Gen. keifer of Ohio succeeded in having
passed an amendment to include in the
vital statistics the number of persons en-
gagged in agriculture.
Exempted From Examinations.
Through an amendment by Mr.. Hay of
Virginia, which also was agreed to, mes

The Ellis Trial

Little Rock, November23. - With six iurymen in the box, the FEllis trial was resumed today at II o'clock in the Circuit Court when 40 special jurymen appear ed to be questioned concerning their qualifications. as Jurors in the case pending. The regular panel and number 6 others summoned from the streets were examined yesterday and all had some excuse to disqualify him from service. During the forenoon!y yesterday jurors were secured and for two hours in the afternoon the attorneys questioned possible jurymen to the number of 25 and one lone juror was all that was accepted. The jurors so far are all aged men all but one being 60 years or over, and the other is 40.
 When the list was exhausted yesterday afternoon, Judge Lea instructed Sheriff B. l.. Roberts to get out and bring in 40 addi- tional men today, which he did, and from these men the balance of the jury will probably be se- lected. The defense will pro- bably begin offering it's testimo- ny by Thursday. for it will hard ly take more than one day for the state to close, all of the wit nesses brought forward by it being those who were present at the time Ellis shot and killed Willis.
 Henry Spann, the Indianapo- lis attorney, who represented Willis in his Indiana fight for the child, which eventually caus- ed the death of Willis, sits with the counsel for the state. and though it is claimed he is not as- sociated in the prosecution, he attends the conferences and makes suggestions during the examinations of witnesses.
