Vice President Sherman in the Senate

Moreover. before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid.

Soy STARTED CHERRY FIRE.
Blazing Torch Ignited Truck of Hay
He Was Handling.


Cherry, ILL.,, Dec. ACCORDING to
sworn testimony, the mine fire here
which caused the death of more than
800 men, was unwittingly started by
Mat Francisco, an inexperienced boy
of 10, who was working in the mine
in alleged violation of the law against
child labor.
Francisco worked under Rosenjack,
the eager, who disappeared the day of
the accident, the boys work being to
push the empty cars from the main
shaft in the second vein over to the
cage running to the third vein.
Torch lgnites Hay.
The boy himself was on the witness
stand and stated that the loaded car
of hay, which caught fire, had been
pushed by him over to the elevator
shaft leading to the third vein. He
said he had left the car of hay stand
ing close up to the blazing torch,
which ignited it. The lad said this
was the first bale of hay he had ever
been required to handle and that his
superiors in the mine had given him
no instructions as to what he should
do
Child Labor Law Violated.
Coroner Malm stated that he con.
sidered Francsco's testimony as of
the greatest Importance. Representa-
tives of State Factory Inspector Dav.
les say that the testimony justifies
the opinion that he child labor law
was freely violated in the Cherry
mine.

ST. Cloud, Dec 4-D. B. Searle,
former judge of the district court,
suffered a second attack of paralysis
at his home in this city, and is re-

a word.
Three years ago, Judge Searle went
to Long Prairie the day before Decor

left leg and left arm have been help
less, but his health has been excel

attorney and state commander of the
G. A. R. and is one of the most promi-
nent men of the state.

Der. the result or TINS RUE is that
now on the opening days of congress
the desks of the members are bare OF
floral decorations. In the old days
both House and Senate were turned
into Conservatives 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 sense Thanksgiving offer
ing. the chaplain referred to the pros
perity of the country, the opportuni-
ties of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few.
AS soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and it was
found that there were only few alb
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper
House had passed a resolution to in
form the House of Representatives
that quorum of the Senate being as
sembled, that body was ready to pro-
coed to business. The House also
was told that the Senate had appoint
ed committee to join a House COM
mittee to inform the presiden. of the
United States that quorum of each
house was present and that congress
was ready to receive any communica.
ton that he may be pleased to
make" On receipt of this message
from the senate, Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed committee to join a like
committee of the Senate to wait upon
the president. The members of the
body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment of the speaker, the Re.
publican leader, Serene E. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds of legislative
measures in bill form, all of which
were read by their title only and re.
ferred to the proper committees. It
u
introduced that some scores of repre-.
sentatives were anxious to father

sary to carry out proposed policies Of

those intended to correct alleged ex.

Applause Greets Speaker Cannon.
If Speaker Cannon anticipates any
particular trouble with the "Insur.
gents of the House at the coming
session, 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 demonstration, though in either
case possibly the hand clapping was

for the speaker himself
With the committees ready to begin

AS is always the case on the open

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 damned 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 filled
to Its fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the la

Disputed Question of Twin Cit,
Charters Threshed Out.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The disputed
question of the life of the charter d
the Minneapolis Street Railway cdm
pany was threshed out before the su
preme court in the half hour of clos
ing argument in the six-for-a-quarteI
case.
Continuing his arguments for thd
traction company, Attorney Koon de
clared that it had been uniformly Td
cognized in Minnesota that street rail
way companies could be organized tln
der title 1 of the act of 1866, instead
of under title 3.
This was as vigorously denied bJ
Attorney Lancaster for the city, whl
occupied three minutes in closing thl
case.
1t was evident from the question:
asked by members of the court thai
this is considered the vital point ii
the case.
If it is held that the company hal
a charter under title 1 of the ACT
then 1t had 5O-year franchise.
as the city contends, the charter WI
actually authorized by title %, tn
company's charter could not han
been granted for more than 81 yeaN
and it would have expired in 1903l
Justice White, who it is belieW
will write the opinion in the cast
questioned Judge Koon closely as u
whether the status of street railway
organized under the act of 1866, hal
ever been definitely passed on by TIL

them to become very salty and quite fat.
The tongers, it is reported, are having

Residents Object to Provisions OF

Objections on the part OF many resi-
dents of Washington to sections OF the
proposed new building laws which the
Commissioners had planned to adopt yes
terday will be heard next Thursday morn

District building. This course has been
decided upon by the Commissioners upon
motion of Maj. Judson, Engineer Commits
sioner. who has received many COM
plants in the last few days relative to
the regulations. In the main it is be-
lieyed the regulations are acceptable, but
1t is declared the special sections increase
the burden of the taxpayers of the Dis
trlct. The fact that the regulations are
SO good In the main Is suggested as the
best reason why they should be made
faction to ALL
The section relating to the charges for
the inspection of new buildings and the
alteration of all old ones will meet with
decided opposition. Under the Old regu-
lations the fee for the erection of a new
building was 81. The cost now, is one
quarter Of cent per square foot for
each floor Of the building, including the
basement.
The regulation with reference to altera-
tons formerly called for fee of 81 for
the building Office inspection. Now it is
81 for every thousand dollars spent in the
remodeling. This will meet with objection
also. Those protesting hope, it is stated,
to have these fees reduced materially.
