KNIFE BLADE IN HIS HEAD
Phosician Removes Piece of Steel After
 Five Years.

Philadelphia, March 9.-When Doran Conley began to suffer from a severe pain in the side of the head he paid little attention to the sore ,pot until it swelled to alarm ing proportions. He thought it was a tumor and hurried to a phy- sician who rammed a nutpick or some such instrument that physi- clans always have handy into the center of the overgrown boil. Then with a pair of pinChers, or some thing similar, he pulled out a piece of knife blade more than an inck long. Then Longley rsmem- bered having been stabbed in the head in a fight six years before. The wound had healed and he did not know he was carrying the enemys blade around in his head.

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1909-05-14

IT is very difficult to doubt the sincerity of Senator Cummins of
Iowa in his attempt to reduce the tariff downwards in accordance with
the provisions OF the Republican platform, and the speeches of Presi
dent Taft, ad writings Of eXPresident Roosevelt, ct if he fails to &C.
cept the offer of Senator Newlands in good faith, his sincerity may be
seriously questioned. There are many in Nevada who remember weL
II OF be so ardent for silver, if it had ny show in a republican Ongress.
1t may be the same with Senator Cummns. Senator Newlands o n h.
floor Of the Senate, during an impassioned speech by Senator Cum.
Minis. suggested to the latter, about IS follows: You get all the Re
publcans you "a 10 revise the tariff downward, as pledged, and You "a
have 81 Democrats to vote with you. Senator Cummiss lid OF take this
Senator Newlands have TO speak fr 81 democrats, 10 which TIL latter re
sponded that he spoke only TO himself.
Senator Newlands could have added that he spoke for the democrats
upon the fact that the party has always been pledged to a tariff for rev
only. and sufficient to carry o a government economically admin
istered. During me heat of the campaigns Republicans always call
Democrats free traders, and Senator Cummins, a a Republican, had a
right to believe that the Democrats would vote for a fair reduction OF
the tariff. The only president the Democrats have elected since Buchan-
al, a elected upon Il tariff or revenue only plank, As the paramount
issue and reegatng to the rear all other question. So, with history b@-
foreh him, and with whcn he is well acquainted, Senator Cummins did
nc need Ito ask n foolish questions. In any event more a re accom-
great parties.
But what would be the result Of such a combinaton-of honest
democrats and honest republicans against pledge breakers? 1t would
split the parties wide open, and force Il new alignment Of the people on
political issues, and would bring the democratic party into power o the
tariff question, because the great majority of te people OF the Unted
States are opposed to a high protective tariff, which unduy benefits
manufacturers at the expense of consumers.
The foregoing facts may have caused Senator Cummins to pause,
and the same facts may have prompted Senator Newlands to make the
tariff retormers, Senator Newands would stand in the front ranks IS a
candidate for President in 1912.
Doubtless, the country would like to SEE Senator Newlands' idea
carried out in order to know what to do with their representatives when
they come up for reelection, and how to receive them when then come
home o repair fences.

was evident from the tone of the bills

Test. Of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged. in the
purchase of a diamond, to rely i'm
plicitly upon the word of the man who
sells the stone. While many years of
observation and experience are needed
to become an expert with respect
to the value and purity OF diamonds.
yet there are certain extremely sim
pie tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced
One is by means of a needle hole
pricked through a piece Of ordinary
cardboard Looking through the stone
tested at the cardboard. one will see
two holes If the diamond be spurious
only one If the gem be genuine. The
reason for this is that an imitation
diamond will give q double refraction,

SKTY-FIRST CONGRESS MEETS
Speaker Calls the House to Order and Is Ap-
plauded by Friends and Enemies Alike.
Wce-Presdent Sherman Presides Over the Senate--Nu
Bills Designed to Garry Out President Tafts
Policies Are INTRODUCED in Both Houses
BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington. Dec. S.-The Sixty
first congress of the United States
met at noon to-day for the first day
OF its first regular session, with Vice
President Sherman In the chair of the
senate. and Speaker Joseph G. Can
non in the chair in the House. While
this congressional gathering is the
drst regular session, it is the second
session in reality. for congress met in
extraordinary session last spring at
the call OF President Taft to consider
the matter Of a revision of the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the
capitol because 1t the beginning of
the extraordinary session in March
last the speaker Of the House was
elected Moreover, before the extra
ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are to take legislation under
consideration for the next two win
;ers- The appointment of the commit
tees ended the campaign on the part
Of the members for choice chairman
ships and, if the chairmanships we're
not forthcoming. for seats in the more
important subsidiary bodies OF the
Hous.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and so
is that. so far as committee work is con-
concerned. the House not only is
ready to proceed at once to consider
legislation. but most of the members
have brought themselves into a frame
Of mind to do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings Of DISAPPOINTMENT and
perhaps. anger.
As is always the case on the open
ing day Of congress. admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently well to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed with people All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as well. was filed
to its fullest capacity with ambassa-
dors, ministers. attaches and the la
dies of the different legations Mem
bers of the families of the president
and Of the vice-president Of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries: and the cabinet and judici-
ary and army and navy circles were
well represented.
By a rule which was adopted not
long ago. flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory Of some deceased member.
The result of this rule is that now on
the opening days of congress the
desks of the members are bare Of
floral decorations. In the old days

sion, he gave no evidence of it when
he took the chair as presiding officer
He was greeted with great applause
from the galleries and from the floor
of the House, many of the Democrats
and insurgents joining in the demon
stration. though in either case pos
sibly the hand-clapping was given as
an evidence of regard :or the Office
of speaker. rather than as evidence of
any overweaning affection for the
speaker himself
With the committees ready to begin
work. the House will settle down t.
its winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered in
committee, and the meetings of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu-
ary many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the winter will begin.
Opening of the Senate.
vice-President Sherman called the
Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed
ward Everett Hale. the chaplain Of
the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily. was taken by a local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and it was
found that nearly all the senators
we're in their seats The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that COM
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen
ate had assembled and was resdy to
begin the business of the session. AS
was the case in the House many bills
were introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senators who. like
the representatives desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol
icies.
After a comparatively short session
'in the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into e1-
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose of considering nomin-
ations for ONCE sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.
The new era., 1909-12-16

both House and Senate were turned
into conservatories for the time Of the
opening proceedings
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
the chaplain, Rev. Henry n. Couden,
to offer prayer. In his prayer which
was in q sense a Thanksgiving offer
ering, the chaplain referred to the
prosperity of the country, the oppor-
tunities of the preseut and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few.
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and It was
found that there were only a few alb
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized.
