LUCK IS
HARD
Wages of Republic $
Crew Stopped When
Ship Went Down

New York Jan. 37.-There was a
picturesque band concert at the rooms
on the Seamens Christian Assn, on
the water front last night, given by the
orchestra OF the Inflated White Star
liner Republic whose members play
cd enthusiastically on instruments
borrowed from the Baltic's band, the
steamship which brought the surviv-
ors Of the recent disaster safely into
port. Several hundred seamen, prin-
cipally down below men," crowded
into the rooms and discussed Incl
dents of the crash while they listened
TO the music
E. w. P. Thurston first British vice
consul at this port, addressed the crew
of the Republic late yesterday outlin-
Ing their rights and privileges, and ex-
planning what they could expect from
the White Star line in accordance with
the laws of the merchant marine The
pen had voiced some complaint when
it became known that their wages
stopped when the Republic sank, that
is, that they were to be docked for
lost time because Of the accidenr Mr..
Thurston said that the men could not
reasonably expect to receive pay dur
ing the time occupied on their return
trip to Liverpool, whittier they will
be taken free, probably ON the Baltic
Gil Saturday. The full amount OF
wages due Will not be paid until the
men make application for 1t in Liver
pool. but the company will advance a
small amount of money to those who
are in need No promise was made OF
certain employment by the White Star
line in the future, although it was
hoped provision would be made for
all In view of the announcement that
the men will be paid only up to the
time that the Republic sank, it is per-
h9ps pertinent to say that this custom
is carried out at all American and
English ports. Seamen are signed
simply for the cruise and are paid, in
cases of wreck OF other disaster. only
for actual service during the time the
vessel is afloat.
Attorneys for both the White Star
line and the Lloyd-Italiano, the lat
Ter owners OF the Florida, are prepar-
ing for a battle in the courts arising
because of the accident Litigation
involving approximately S2.000,000 will
probably be thrashed out. but which
vessel was TO blame for the disaster
will be settled first by a court OF in
ouiry. If the Florida was to blame
the Republics owners may libel her
10 the value of the boat and the pas
senger and freight receipts. This holds
true in the event Of the Republic be-
ing found at fault,
But the LloydItaliano line may re-
cover only the amount which the
Florida was damaged, Although the
White Star line may be used by pas
sengers who were injured in the col
lision, or for the deaths of passengers.
as there is no law governing loss OF
life on the high seas, 1t Is doubtful
il any such suits will be brought.
According TO shpulations on the
back OF each ticket. the passengers
r,ay recover only 500 each on their
baggage, although many lost a far
greater amount. The total loss on
baggage and personal effects is var
iously estimated at from s175,000 to
S250.O00.

San francisco. Jan. 27-Thousands
of tiIy snakes poured from the clouds

were really snakes measuring from
three to seven inches in length and
averaging quarter of an inch In
thickness. We made no attempt to OBJ
tain any specimens"

STRIKE FOR MORE PAY.
Refusal of an Increase Of ST a Day for
Three Hours Overtime Work Is
Cause OF the Trouble.

county commissioners to raise their
own salaries. The county treasurer's
force Of 200 clerks have walked out
and refused to do extra work at tho
present wage-scale.
Technically, all Of the men now are
on strike. Because of peculiar COM
bination of circumstances. however,
they will continue to do their regular
work today and tomorrow pending a
settlement.
The trouble involves an increase OF
81 day for men working three hours
Overtime-an amount which the COM
missioners told the men the county
could not afford to pay
This Is the busiest season OF the
year for the treasurer, as tax bills and
tax books are in course Of preparation
and must be completed before April /.
In order to DO this IT Is necessary to
work the entire office staff at least
three hours overtime each day.

Washington. Jan. 27.-Recommend-
ing that the speech delivered In the
house last week by Representative
WGlett, New York, In which the pres
Idept was severely criticised, be ex-

ora. the select committee. appointed
TO consider the speech, submitted its
report to the house today. A letter
written to the committee by Repre-
sentative Wlllett urging that his
speech should remain on record, ac-
companied the report
The report declares that it would
seem that the peculiar constitution
al duties Of the house In relation to
the power of impeaching the pres
ident do not preclude a clear line OF
distinction between that criticism OF
nets and conduct necessary for per
torrance of the constitutional duties
of the house and criticism merely
personal and irritating"
1t also claims that it is especially
The duty OF the house itself to protect
the president. from that personal
abuse, ineundo, or ridicule, tending to
excite disorder in the house ITSELF
and TO create a personal antagonism
on the part of the president toward
the house and which is not related to
the power OF the house under the
constitution TO examine into the acts
and conduct Of the president"
In his letter 10 the committee Mr.
Tillett claims that he did not trans.
cend the rules OF the house.
The resolution recommended by the
special committee for adoption by the
house reads:
Resolved: That the speech Of Mr.
WIllett printed in the daily Congress
sional Record Of January Is. 1909, con-
talns language improper and ia VIOLA
tlon OF the privileges Of debate, and
that the same he stricken from the
permanent record"
Representative Mann Of Illinois,
chairman of the special committee,
presented the report which he said
contained the unanimous opinion OF
that committee After the report had
been read. Mr.. Mann offefed 10 yield
time TO any member wishing 10 dis.
cuss the report, but as none evinced
desire 10 do so. the resolution striking
out the speech WAS passed with hardly
a dissenting voice.

STATEHOOD BILLS ARE
BEING ENGINEERED

Washington, Jan. 27.-Every effort
is being made by the house commit
tee on territories TO report the Ari-
zona and New Mexico separate state
hood bills by the end of next week.
The statehood bill is being formed by
the Republican members Of the COM
mittee, but will be exhibited TO the mi
nority members before hearings are
held by the full committee.
The bill probably will provide for
grants of land by the federal govern
mont instead Of grants of money as
has been done In some cases to the
territories that have been granted
statehood These grants of land are
to be primarily for the purpose OF
liquidatlng certain territorial debts.
A thorough investigation of the debts,
both county and territorial in New
Mexico and Arizona. Is being made
with the object of determining how
much land should be granted by the
bill. 1t is proposed. it Is said, to givo
New Mexico two representatives and
Arizona one at large in the house.
