HOUSE Is PREPARING REBUKE
Special Committee Will Report on
Presidents Message.

Special Committee viii Report on
Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, jan. 6.-The special COM
mittee considering the reference to con-
gress and the secret service in the presi-
dents annual message will report to the
house on Friday. 1t is said that there will
be much debate on the report. Representa-
tives Tawney of Minnesota, Smith of Iowa,
Fitzgerald of New York and Sherley of
Kentucky, referred to by the president in
his special message, will reply to the pres
ident.
Representative Griggs of Georgia on Mon
day moved that the special message of
the president be returned to the chief ex-
%ecutive, but withdrew his motion on the
advice of some of his democratic col
leagues. 1t is understood that the report of
the special committee will be a rebuke
nearly as severe as would be the action
proposed by Mr.. Griggs, If not more so.
1t is said the report of the committee will
recommend either refusal by the house to
receive that portion Of the message which
1t is claimed reflected on the house or will
severely rebuke the president in some other
manner.
The suggestion that the committee will
rePort AaNoI VI taollhS the opJSCtloH-
able portion of the message as well as the
special message which followed the action
taken by congress on the annual message
is not being given much consideration.
The special met today and
will meet again tomorrow to draft its
report. 1t is believed 1t will deal with the
special message as well as the annual
message. 1t may, it is'said. ask the presi-
dent for more information, as it is claimed
by some members that the special message
lacked sufficient proof in support of the
statements made by the president.

cents. The provision allowing the trustee
to open an account for a ward will be
stricken out. Senator Piles Of Washington
will offer an amendment requesting the
distribution OF deposits of savings banks
funds in cities having more than one bank
on the basis Of the amount of capital stock
of each. and Senator Warner of Missouri
probably will introduce an amendment al
lowing banks organized under state laws
to receive such deposits under specified
conditions.
1t is expected that these amendments will
do much to make the bill satisfactory to
senators who have not approved 1t.

DALEs MAKES A CONFESSION
Says Woman Fired shO which killed
NoIIey Mann.

OGALLALA, Neb., Jan. 6~.-(specisl Tele-
gram)-Lafayette Dales, who was appre-
hended at Las Animas, Colo, and returned
here for the murder of Nolley Mann, made
a confession today to County Prosecutor
L. a. Devoe. He says the shot that killed
Mann was fired by the woman Jennie
Geiger. in whose company he had travelled
from Youngstown, N. Y. He says they fell
in with Volley Mann east of North Platte.
He was travelling with a team and intended
stopping at Ogallala. They decided to kill
him and take his outfit and go to Denver.
On the night of the murder they all went
to bed under the wagon. Dales, at day
break the next morning. while yet in bed,
raised up and pointed the gun, a SS-caliber
pistol, at Mann's head twice, but each time
his nerve failed. He then handed the pistol
to the woman, who then fired the shot
into Mann's head while he was asleep. The
Bee has published the woman story in
the fore part of November, 1905, wherein
she lays the crime onto Dales, who she
named Harry Dales Smith.

Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-According to
gossip about the senate the hesitancy of
President-elec Taft In announcing for
mally his selection of Frank IL. Hitchcock,
chairman of the republican national COM
mittee, to be postmaster general is due
to q suggestion that the nomination might
call out opposition in the senate.
{ 1t has been said that IL he continued to
: hold his position as national chairman

his serving as the head of the Postoffice
department. which has more federal pat
ronage than any other of the executive
departments. II the Hitchcock nomination

When :s,v senate convened today 1t was
understood that the bill to establish postal
savings banks would be taken up after the
disposal of routine business, The bill is
in charge OF Senator Carter, who will at
tempt to keep IL before that body until 1t
is disposed of. The senator proposes to
press for a vote on the measure which is
, now the unfinished business of the sem

Senator Carter believes that week or ten
days will be ample time in which to dis

Senator Raynor OF Maryland, believes
some Of the features of the bill to be I'M
constitutional and Senator Carter will sat

Auon by offering amendments reducing the
amount that may be deposited by a single
person In a postal bank during the month
from 500 to $l0O and the aggregate amount
that may be kept on deposit from $1,000 to

HITS 2 MEN; 1 DEAD
 OTHER DYING
Five Hour Flyer Picks up Victims at Fairfield Cross ing and Brings Them to Bridgeport-No Hope for Injured Section Hand.

The express train out of New York at 12. passing this city at 1:1S p. m-, ran down two Italian section hands at the railroad station at Fairfield, to- day. killing one instantly, and break ing almost every bone in the other mans body. The dead man and his dying mate were placed on the train and brought to this city. Funeral Directors Rourke & Rourke took the body and the injured workman was rushed to St. Vincent's hospital
 The men were engaged on the rail- road, but did not see the approaching locomotive although they had suffic- tent warning to get out of the way. Both of them were married, living with their families in Fairfield, but their names could not be learned.
 The man killed was about five feet nine inches high and 3s years old. His neck and backbone were broken.
 At press hour the man at the hos pital was still alive, but there is no hope.
 Dr. W. H. Donaldson, medical exam iner for Fairfield, said it was all right to bring the living man here, but that rhe railroad had no right to bring him here.

a1en whe m.E. c,uh.

As to social clubs of men, there are two classes of members-the positive and the negative. In an organization of thousand members you will find, probably, nine hundred and ninety nine negatives and one positive. This one positive is seldom the president, but nearly always the treasurer or sec retary. It is he who regards the club as his home. his family, his wife and children. His whole heart is wrapped up in it's success. He brings in the new members and is always on hand to shoulder burdens which the nega- tfves willingly impose upon him. He never rebels. never protests. never com plains. A club is community of self ish interests. as rule, and every self ish negative agrees with every other selfish negative that such and such a man is the ideal secretary, treasurer or manager. A good secretary or treasurer is seldom promoted; he is too useful.-New York Press.

Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 Hartford, May 1s.3The Senate con- cured with the House to-day in mak- ing October 12, Columbus Day, legal holiday. Only Senator Luther opposed this and his was the only vote record ed against it, though it was apparent that the very sensible speech that he made against this measure found con- siderable sympathy in the Senate.
 Among other matters passed by the Senate were the following: an act linn iting the number of quail to be taken to five in any one doy and 36 in any year; an act which raises the salary of the adjutant general, the assistant adjutant general, the assistant quar- termaster general and three clerks in the adjutant generals office. The ad- jutant generals salary is raised $5eO making it $3. 800; the salaries of the as- sistant adjutant general and assistant quartermaster general are raised $200 each, making their pay $2,000 and those of the three clerks $100 each, making them $1,500.
 There was considerable debate over the amendment to the New Haven city charter which will keep cigar manufacturers off the police commits sion and which finally passed the Sen ate by a vote of 15 to 12.

WALL STREET TO-DAY.
(SpecfaI from United Press

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, May 1S-The feature of the market at the opening was the weakness in Third Avenue Traction which followed it's decline of yester- day with a further fall of 1A points, recovering about half this loss later. This pronounced weakness was attri- buted to the decree incident to the pro- cess of reorganization. The general list showed initial decline, ranging from one fourth to one half point and after the first few minutes there was a firm development of strength.
 At Il a. m., there was little change in market conditions during the first hour most of the buyers being purely professionals The only noticeable price movements were in a number of the closely held specialties. Favorable talk of present earnings and future prospects helped many issues. Read ing. after yielding a little showed i'm provement and at the end of the hour had made a slight net gain. Other leading railroads held steady, showing slight losses.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds firm.
 Noon.-The price movement con tinued narrow during the last half of she forenoon and the early afternoon with no particular change in specula- tive interest Chesapeake & Ohio was the strongest stock in the first hour but reacted slightly and afterward re- covered.

 In no well attested case has dog shown any sense as to the nature of any mechanical contrivance. Dogs will learn which way a door opens, and rarely if ever do they undiscerningly close 1t when 1t is slightly ajar when they wish to pass through the opening, but havo never been able to observe or obtain evidence to show that they would pull down the latch in the way in which cat readily learns to do. Much as dogs have had to do with guns, they display no kind of interest in the arms except so far as they are tokens of sport to come. They con- nect the explosion with the capture of the game and will search for it in the direction in which the barrel was pointed have not, however, been able to find that they know, as they might readily do, when the weapon was loaded and when empty. They show no interest in 1t, such as mon- keys readily display toward any me chanical contrivance to which their att tention has been directed All these negative features indicate that the me chanical side of the canine mind is en- tirely undeveloPed.-Londo Standard.
