The Judiciary committee continued
it's hearing in the case of Judge Humid
ley, of Alabama, in the Senate on
Saturday.
Further testimony was given out in
the case of the inquiry into the Ten
nessee Coal, Iroa and Railway COM
pany merger.
The Senate Democrats are planning
a flibuster to prevent a vote in the
Brownsville case.
BY voting an appropriation of
100000, the house of representatives
Saturday made liberal provision for
further experiments by the army,
with balloons and airsAips"for use IN
warfare.
The subject gave to a spirited de-
bate, which continued most of the ses-
sion. The opponents of the PROPOSE
ton sought to encompass its defeat
bv raising all sorts of parliamentary
points, but the chair in elaborate OPP
inions overruled these, and thus paved
the way for the incorporation of the
provision In the army appropriation
bill.
Previous to taking up the army bill,
the consideration of which was not
completed, the house passed a number
Of miscellaneous bills of more or less
public interest.
AT 4:46 p. M, the house adjourned
until Sunday, when it will meet IN
special session to hear eulogies on the
life of and character of Representa-
tive Powers, of Maine, who died dur

49, Report.

Yesterday marked the close OF the
first period in The Detroit Times Great
Prize Voting Contest. and. as expected
great volume OF subscription bust
ness was reported by the various con-
testants and their friends who were
eager To get In all the subscripi ions
they could while the high voting SEIZED

feet
Today the second period schedule
agocs into erect and viii continue in
effect for the next two weeks or until
the close OF the second period The
number OF votes given FOR subscription
payments in the second period Is about
30 pc. cent less than the number given
I'm the frst. ore OF the especially note
worthy features OF the FIRST period Is
that while nearly all the active CON
testants made an excellent showing.
the business reported by the different
contestants was surprisingly equal IN
volume.
No contestant should now feel that

oars for the next few days or the con-
test OVerconfidence is especially TO be
guarded against at this time over

mary a famous project. Contestants
should strive with renewed yigor TO
maintain any advantage they may
have gained as "a result of work accom-
plshed In the first period.
Several interesting changes were ef-
fected in the lists as n result OF the
ballotlng yesterday. In district Ave

and advanced TO the position OF honor

to the leading position, exchang Ing
places with Miss Lillian Brown. tn,
former leader. Numerous other changes
OF lesser note were also made.
Contestants who were unable to do a
great amount OF work In the first pc

in their campaign for subscriptions and
votes. With little special effort, II Is
possible for such contestants TO easily
place themselves on an equal footing
