CANNoKS UNDERWEAR CHEAP
PAYS FIFTY CENTS A GARMENT,
SAYS BROTHER SIMS.
And With Such Modest Tastes, What
Need Has Speaker for
Automobile.

Uncle Joe, Cannon only pays so cents
garment for his underwear!
This interesting bit of news was pro-
mulgated in the House today by Repre-
sentative Thetus Wi1irette Sims of LIN
den, Tenn, during debate on the confer
ence report of the deficiency bill.
Mr. Sims was denouncing the Senate
proposition, contained in this bill, to
appropriate $4,000 for automobiles for
the Vice President and the Speaker. To
illustrate Mr.. Cannon's simple tastes.
Mr. Sims uncovered a bit Of current
history.
THE other day." said he, Uncle Joe
and me went down town to buy some
underwear. We stopped in haberdash-
cry, and, OF course. the clerk knew I'm
Gle Joe. So he lugged out some under
wear at seven dollars a suit-three-
nifty per garment-and tried to stick
Joe with 1t. It's guaranteed said he.
to keep the human frame in health and
prevent all ills to which the flesh is
heir
Did Uncle Joe buy 1t? He did not.
Give me some at so cents a crack, said
he. And that's what he bought. Il took
some. too"
The House usually enjoys Mr.. Sims
discourses. This time was no exception.
1t doubled up and chortled freely.
Then Mr. Sims got back to the automo-
bile proposition. He remarked with some
heat that while he was walking down
pretty nearly every morning, as a poor
congressman has to do. he noticed a big,
high-powered, luxurious automobile stand
ing in front of residence on 10Th street.
The car bore the inscription Quarter
masters Department, u. s. Army"
He had been told by some other MEM
Der Of the House, whose name he did
not mention, that the quartermaster' s
department had bought forty of these big
and that officers used them for
joy riding. He was dead against 1t, he
said, and wanted everybody to know; It.
Mr.. Sims further indicated his belief
that the ownership Of an automobile eie-
Yates one considerably in the social scale.
He was inclined to think that members
of Congress who chased around town on
Shanks' mares weren't properly respected
by government subordinates who snorted
about in gasoline gigs and petrol push
carts.
Representative Douglass Of Ohio inter-
rupted Mr.. Sims to remark solemnly that
officers of the army wouldn't think Of
using official automobiles for joy rides.
He thought the large. ornate machine to
which Mr. Sims had taken exception was
certainly hanging around on official bust
ness.
The House grinned at that-all except
Mr.. Sims. He has a reputation to sus-
tain as an anti-autoist, and he shook his
head and frowned severely.
What's more" he cried with ardor.
lever since the House appropriated for
automobiles for Mr.. Taft he has been

ferees and entertains the same views as
his colleague from Virginia about Mr..
Aldrich's methods of bringing in the
conference report.
After the reading of the conference re-
port had consumed three and a half hours
of the Senate's time and its conclusion
had been announced. Senator Clapp OBJ
tanned recognition of the presiding Of
ficer.
Noticing that Senator Daniel senior
democratic member of the finance COM
mittee. was endeavoring to obtain recog-
milton. Mr. Clapp gave way to him and
the Virginia senator at once called at
tention to the absence of a quorum.
Mr.. Daniel Protests.
When sixty-one senators had answered
to their names, Mr.. Daniel took the floor.
Standing near the middle aisle and facing
the republicans. he warned the republican
members of the finance committee that
it would be wise to remain and hear what
he had to say.
Mr.. Daniels speech consisted in the
main of an arraignment of the conference
committee for the exclusion of the demo-
cratic members.
Mr.. Daniel concluded his arraignment
of Mr.. Aldrich by demanding that Mr..
Aldrich move to recommit the bill to
the conference committee. He said that
any gentleman when he had committed
a wrong would take the straightest
way to correct it.
Mr.. Aldrich Explains.
There was complete silence, and the
dropping of pin could have been
heard as Mr.. Aldrich got up to reply.
First, he said he had been unable TO
understand the attitude Of Mr.. Daniel
toward the finance committee and the
conference committee. The usual Gus
tom had been followed, he said, and If
Mr.. Daniels idea had been followed
there would not have been q tariff bill
in year.
Mr.. Aldrich said he called in the demo-
cratic conferees and told them that the
bill was practically agreed upon with
the exception of five items. 1t was I'M
derstood, he said. that the democrats
would not sign the report. Mr.. Aldrich
declared that he told the democrats that
he would let them know when the repub-
licans agreed on the five remaining
items.
Il did not promise to call a meeting"
said Mr.. Aldrich. II had no such idea and
no other member of the conference COM
mittee had except the senator from Vir-
ginia.''
Mr. Aldrich then said that when he heard
the next day that Mr.. Daniel was trou-
bled about the matter he sent word to him
and offered to call a meeting or do any
thing else to pacify the senator, but that
Mr.. Daniel said 1t was too late.

Whether the leather schedule amend

not know, although he would be well
satisfied if all shoes, whether made from

All the President cares to have known
is that he has not been buncoed by any
body and that the language Of the leath-

will gladly sign a bill which puts all
shoes on the 10 per cent basis. and II
