Senator Sanborn's joint resolution
TO complete the senatorial investiga-
ton as soon as possible so far as {.
relates to Senator Stephenson was
adopted in the senate yesterday, II
to 10. No discussion took place before
the calling of the roll but when SEN
ator Hudnalls name was called he
arose to point of personal privilege.
This resolution places ME in a
rather unfortunate position" he de-
CARED. when the original resolu-
ton was up ! favored the investiga-
ton of all candidates for United States
senator at the primary election If it
is crime to spend $500 in one co, nty
it also is crime to spend $500 in an
other county. | had hoped that the
senator from the Goth would see fit to
withdraw this resolution. 1t puts me
in an embarrassing position and |
shall have to vote against It. During
the sitting of the investigating com
mittee yesterday it was charged that

and Senators LOckney, Sanborn,

money in the primary election. l re-
alize that if vote for this resolution

cape an investigation into the money
which have received. ! am not will

will call on me as early as possible
DO you consider your investigation
of more importance than that OF

firmative He objected 20 that part
of the resolution which leaves the in
vestigation in regard to the other can
didates at the primary to be complet
ed after the committee has finished
the probe so far as Senator stephen

Senator Sanborn said that the in

FAIRBANKS PAID
WARM TRIBUTES
SENATORS, REGARDLESS OF
PARTY, JOIN IN EXTENDING
APPRECIATION

Washington, March behind
closed doors the senate yesterday
paid Vice President Fairbanks one
of the most remarkable tributes ever
given presiding officer. He was
presented with a magnificent silver
service costing $1,1s5, as a gift of the
entire body Of the senators, and with
IA loving cup as a present of the
democratic members. The presenta-
ton speeches made were filed with
pith and humor, and Mr.. Fairbanks
In replying exhibited deep feeling.
The presentation Of the silver serv-
Ice was made by Senator McCumber.
who spoke of the vice presidents
ability and his devotion to the work
and interest of the members of the
senate regardless of party affiliations,
Senator Daniel spoke for tho minor
ity, dilating upon Mr.. Fairbanks uni.
form fairness. He suggested that
If at any time Mr.. Fairbanks should
tire of the monotonous service in the
republican party the democrats
would be glad to welcome him. He
facetously suggested that 1t would
not be well for Mr.. Fairbanks to
take more than draught from the
hagon before breakfast, IL he should
happen to get 1t filled with other
than buttermiIlS. Reference was made
by both senators to Mrs. Fairbanks
and her delightful hospitality. and
the vice president especially thanked
the senators for these expressions.
Then practically the whole senate
surrounded the rostrum and all shook
hands with Mr.. Fairbanks.

saved the Philippine government
thousands Of dollars.
A bet had been made between Ma
jor Kennon and his foreman on one
side and the members of the Philip
pine commission on the other side
that the road would not be open by
January 81, 1905. The story of the
bet was borne from tongue to tongue
along the road. Major Kennon prom
ised each man a cigar if they won
the bet. The effect was good. The
army of 1000 bent IL their work,
there being man to every seven feet
of the road on the last lap into Bag
uio. On January 20. two days before
the expiration of the wager, Major
Kennon rode into Baguio in a car
riage. He was received there as a
prince returned. There was a great
celebration and all the men in the
Kennon army smoked a good cigar

ROAD BUILDING TO MUSIC.
How Major Kennon Got Work Out of
Filipinos and Won Bet.

How Major kennon COT WorN Oot "
Filipinos and Won Bet.
Major /. w. V Kennon, now com
manding a battalion of the 10th in
fantry at Fort Benjamin Harrison, IN
building the famous Benguet road
through the mountains of northern
Luzon, Philippine islands, accom-
plished a feat called humanity impos-
sible. It took music. money and a
mongrel army of 1000 men to do it,
but Benguet road stands today one OF
the remarkable highways of the
world,
Major Kepnon's army of 1000 road
builders rested only on Sunday the
indianapolis News says. For ten
hours of each day they forged ahead
On Sunday they rested in their quar-
ters. houses built of poles and grass.
They amused themselves with
dances. cards and games that ap-
pealed to the different nationaities'
Major Kennon introduced music as
on,. OF the attractions along his lone
| ly highway. He Is known for his re-
sourcefulness and he does not deny
that he used music to get better work
out OF the pleasure.loving FiIipinos
and other orientals. They did not like
to work. and when they did It was
with slow, sluggist movement.
One day Major KEENAN, decided to
try music as an impetus to zeal. He
assembled his band, made up 81 men
of all nations, and ordered it to move
guIetiy and secretly to a place where
several hundred Filiplnos we're en-
gagged in drilling holes in the canyon
walls. The bank stole up behind the
slow going drillers and suddenly
struck up a fayorite oriental air. IN
stantly the Filiplnos caught the spirit
Of the music and began to beat their
drills against the rock In rhythm.
The result was more than sur.
prise to the resourceful Kennon. He
kept that band busy after that It fol.
lowed the Fillpinos along the way and
played wherever they worked From
loborers worth about 10 cents day
he developed them into musical ma.
chimes that worked to drum beats.
Major Kennon insists that his band
