IN PRISON
MAN ACCUSED OF BRUTALLY
ASSAULTING A WOMAN
TRACKED BY HOUNDS.

Seattle, March 6.-George Fl. Elliott
of DuWamish is a prisoner in the King
county Jail suspected of being the man
who last night assaulted Mrs. Blanche
Roseburg, wife of Otto Roseburg of
DuWamish, choked her into insensibil-
ity and then placed her head on the
tracks of the Columbia & Puget Sound
railroad in such a position as to in
fer that it was the intention of the
assailant to allow some passing train
to blot out the evidence of his crime.
Mrs. Roseburg is in a precarious
condition.
The work of Sheriff Robert Dodge
and Deputies William Summerman and
Scot Malone, aided by Alexander Nc
Dermott's two big Cuban bloodhounds,
are responsible for the arrest of Eli
oft. The dogs took the trail up on
almost perpendicular bank from the
railroad tracks, through the woods di-
rectly to Elliotts home. half a mile
from Duwamish. Elliott answers the
description as to build as given by
Mrs Roseburg. He bears marks on
his face of scratches such as Mrs.
Roseburg says she must have inflict-
ed on the man during the struggle she
made before falling insensible.

Butte, March 6.-"Professor" II. J.
Kellogg has added still another sensa-
ton to his string of escapades. This
morning while Undersheriff Mike
Murray was taking nap a few miles
this side Of Pocatello, Kellogg got out
of the seat, went to the rear end of the
smoker and jumped off the train while
1t was in motion, Murray woke up
to find his prisoner gone and he stop
ped the train and walked back to Po-
catello, VoWing he would not return to
Butte without Kellogg. Kellogg's VIC
tins continue to turn up, half a dozen
calls being made on the Jail tonight by
people who were anxious that he be
held as soon as he was brought back,
as they wanted to prefer charges
against him. Last night a number Of
fake kilograms were sent purporting to
come from the sheriff and county at
torney here instructing Murray to re-
lease the prisoner as everything had
been settled. This afternoon the two
charges against the professor. up for
hearing in the police court, were called.
He was not on hand and his bonds, ag-
gregating $400. were forfeited

Washington, March 6.-Speake
Cannon is puzzling his head in the in
tcrim between sessions of congress
over the personnel of the next COM
mittce on rules. The appointment of
this committee will be one of the first
duties the speaker of the incoming
congress will have to perform, unless
the insurgents muster enough
strength to form an alliance with the
democrats to amend the rules so as
to provide for the election Of a com
mittee on rules. Speaker Cannon does
not believe they will be able to do
this, and he is considering some Of
the problems that may Vex him in
the days to come,
There are two vacancies on this
powerful committee. Vice President
Sherman has just left it, and so has

Many members believe that the choice
of successor to Mr.. Sherman lies
between Representative TaWney,
chairman of the committee on appro-

of Illinois. Although Mr.. Sherman
came from New York, the position is
claimed by western members. Mr.
sherman succeeded General Groves

The examination also showed that the

At a late hour last night the at

Mr.. Rapelje had sustained a fracture

REALLY SHOCKING" !"
TO SENATORS
MEMBERS OF UPPER HOUSE OF
CONGRESS ARE SURPRISED AT
SHERMAN'S STATEMENT.

Washington, March 6.-The manner
in which the senate determines the
presence of quorum was made plain
yesterday in the senate when Senators
Lodge and Bailey Joined in calling at
tention to the fact that here had been
no record of the presence of a quorum
since the sixtyfirst congress assem-
bled at ~ o'clock on the 4th.
Vice President Sherman, who is ia
miliar with methods pursued in the
house, replied that the journal of the
4th contained the names of senators
who were then present and they con-
stitute a quorum of the body.
This statement was shocking to SEN
aators with whom the manner of as
certaining a quorum is a tradition not
to be lightly ignored.
Mr.. Sherman was informed that Il
quorum in the senate is shown by the
calling of the roll and the actual
responses of senators, and not merely
by having their presence noted by the
clerk. The roll was then promptly
called

urged as customary that the other
two republican members of the com
mittce be chosen one from the east
ANA one from the west. Representa-
tive Dalzell of Pennsylvania is the
eastern representatives
Mr.. TaWney's rise III the house has
been phenomenal. He has a power
ful influence on the infloor, and it
is urged that he would be a great
strength to the committee Most of
all the speaker desires a parlamen-
tartan who can defend any rule on
the floor Of the house in an impress
sive and persuasive way Represen-
tatiVe Mann fills the place well, but
the objection to him is that he comes
from the speakers own state.
The selection of the new demo-
cratic membership probably will be
left to Minority Leader Clark.
1t has been regarded as a desirable
move to have the minority leader that
member, but Mr.. Clark cannot take
the position as long as Mr. DeArmond
of the same state (MissourD remains
on the committee A plan has been
devised by which Mr.. Fitzgerald, re-
garded as one of the best parliament
tarians on the democratic side, will
become the minority's representative
on the committee AS yet the plan
has not been approved by all inter
ested in it.

afternoon, Superintendent j. M. Ra-
pelje of the Rocky Mountain division
of the Northern Pacific, was struck on
the left side of the head and knocked
down the 15-foot embankment with
terrific force. sustaining injuries of a
very serious nature.
EyeWitnesses of the accident say
that the superintendent struck on his
right side against pile of ties and
was rendered unconscious for nearly
an hour and even after that time he
could remember very little of the oc-
currence. The wrecked car was being
lifted by means of graphing hooks at

reached an acute angle one of the
hooks slipped Mr.. Rapelje being struck

Portland, Ore, March 6.-The Ore
gonian tomorrow viii say; 1t is con-
sidered practically certain that every
possible legal obstruction will be
placed in the way of enforcing the
Spokane rate case decision bv the
railroads of this territory. While il
cannot be learned definitely at pres
ent what processes will be resorted to.
1t Is believed the railroads will fight
the rate order just made, and at
least delay its effect to the utmost,
even if it cannot be defeated.
The Spokane rate decision was or
dered to become effective Nav |. This
Is said b all to be practically i'm
possible The readjustment and pub
lication of tariffs made necessary by
the decision, causing the checking
over of all the rates to the territory
affected, win take months. That this
mass of detail can be arranged by
May ! is said to be out of the lues-
ton.
1t is expected the commission will
consent to the postponement of the
effect Of the decision until a reason
able time can elapse. but this. ii is
roads. 1t is believed they will apply
for injunctions or take some other
step to overturn the recent decision.
Meanwhile the Portland Chamber of
Commerce will bring suit before the
interstate commerce commission for
lower distributive rates out of Port
land. Suit will be filed within a
short time, probably within the next
two weeks. II Is desired first to pc
ruse the late decision and learn how
tarreaching it is. 1t is felt by the
chamber of commerce transportation
committee, which is handling the
matter. that the Spokane decision is
water on its wheel in the distributive
rate case. 1t will be maintained that
if the transcontinental rates west
bound are excessive and cannot be
justified as outlined in the recent de-
cision, the distributive rates from
Portland to the interior are still more
