Mr.. Bacon said that the clerk should
not hasten the calling OF the first name

Chagrin of Mr.. Payne.
PORTO RICAN BILL IS DELAYED
Four Roll Calls Anger Republican
Leader, Who Chfdes Minority and
says Mean Things About Democrats.
Representative BOrIand's Amend
ment Starts Trouble.

There was q merry time in the House
Of Representatives Just before adjourn
ment yesterday, and while il was on Rep
resentative Payne, Of New York, said a
lot Of mean things about Minority Leader
Clark and the Democrats who follow hin.
Debate OF the Porto Ricsn biz had
dragged on throughout the day. and a
little before , o'clock every one except a
few Democrats got tired Of II and wanted
TO adjourn. Leader Clark was also ready
20 quit. but when he saw that Mr.. Payne
was anxious 70 get away. his fun-loving
spirit got the better OF him, and he
started little flibuster.
The trouble arose Immediately follow
ing the presentation Of an amendment
by Representative Borland. OF Missouri
providing that the life Of the Olmsted
bin. relating to affairs in Porto Rico.
should be limited TO one year.
Would Vote Down Amendment.
M Payne expressed the hope that the
amendment would be voted down. and he
launched forth on tiraGe in which he
paid his respects in vigorous language
TO the Democratic minority. The House
was proceeding IN Committee Of the
Whole. and Representative Townsend. OF
Michigan was in the chair.
NJ. Olmsted. in charge Of the bill. arose
and remarked that as no one was present
who desired 70 engage in debate. the
committee might arise. This meant i'm
mediate adjournment. Then Mr.. BorIand
offered his amendment.
Enter Mr. Payne with his speech in
opposition. Minority Leader Clark want
ed 10 come 70 vote. but Mr.. Pavpe
wanted II 70 so over. Il took three or
four votes before the committee con-
sented 70 rise. and on one OF them the
Democrats charged bad faith. wfrh the
result that the vote was taken over AGAIN.
II then became a test Of strength he
tween the Democrats and the Repub-
hcans. The majority were more src-
cessful in getting in absent members
with the result that the COMMITTEES de-
cided TO rise by vote Of 81 10 4.
That's what happens when -peonls act

There seems to be sentiment that the

Of government in Porto Rico Is faulty

Memorials For Poe and Randall.

The late James R. Randall was a
son of Maryland, native and to the
n born. Edgar Allan Poe was
an adopted son. It has been sug.
gested that the bodies of these gifted
men be buried in Baltimore in the
same mausoleum. This suggestion
is prompted by a worthy sentiment,
but its appropriateness is open to
question.
Poe died in Baltimore on October
7, 1S4s, and his body was buried in
this city. His grave, often neglected
and perhaps forgotten at times, e.
cept by a few faithful admirers OF his
genius, has long been a reproach to
Baltimore. There is now in existence
an association organized for the pur-
pose Of rearing In this city an ade-
quate memorial of Poe. This monu-
ment should commemorate the great
ness of Poe alone, 3or reasons which
are obvious and convincing. Edgar
Allan Poe was not only a poet of the
highest rank-pronounced, indeed, by
some eminent European men Of let
tiers the greatest poetic genius the
United States has ever produced-buS
he was also a master in the field Of
fiction and a literary critic Of power
and distinction. For these reasons.
therefore, he is entitled t. a separate
memorial. Sun.

Unanimous and Non-Partisanv Vote
in House at. Washington.
Report of the Committee Raps Presi-
dent Roosevelt For Undue Crit
cism While Defending Him.

Washington, D. C.-By an over
whelming and non-partisan viva voce
vote Representative Willett's speech,
criticising and %ridiculing President
Roosevelt was ordered stricken from
the permanent record of the House.
There was no debate, and the resolu-
ton adopted was reported unani-
mously from the select committee
appointed to investigate the matter.
Only four or five Representatives
sitting around Mr.. Willett voted
against the resolution, which is as
follows:
Resolved, That the speech of Mr.
Willett printed in The Daily Congress.
sional Record OF January Is, 1909.i
contains language improper and in
violation of the privileges of debate,
and that the same be stricken from
the permanent record"
"Since, under the Constitution"
said the report, "the members of the
House may not be questioned else.
where for speeches in the House, and
the President ought not therefore to
criticise or comment officially upon
speeches In the House (laughter). it
becomes especially the duty of the
House itself to protect the President
from that personal abuse, innuenGo
or ridicule, tending to excite disorder
in the House itself and to create per-
sonal antagonism On the part of the
President toward the House. which is
not related to the power Of the House
under the. Constitution to examine
into the acts and conduct of the Pres
ident. ..
"Your committee has carefully con-
sidered the. remarks Of the gentleman
from New York, and, testing the same
by the foregoing principles, finds that
his remarks concerning the President
are not justified by. any considera-
tons of the constitutional duties or
powers of the House; that they trans
cend proper limits Of criticism in de-
bate; that they are destructive OF
that courtesy, respect and dignity
which ought to be preserved. and
that they ought not to remain in the
permanent official record of the pro-
ceedings in the House.
"Your committee finds it impossi-
BILE to separate those portions Of the
gentleman's remarks which are open
to objection from those which may be
parliamentary, and that the only way
to eliminate from The Record the re-
marks which were improper and out
of order is to strike the entire speech
from. the record"
The report closed with a letter
from Mr.. WiIlett to the committee in
which he said that he had been en-
tirely within the rules and ~precedents
of the House.

Gowns Not Over Tight.

Very many gowns worn by dressy
Parisiennes show that the best
dressed women, while they have re-
stricted the number of their garments
to next to nothing, and while draping
the bust, but leaving the entire arm
and shoulder absolutely nude and one
ankle in c%oquettish evidence, do not,
however, drape their gowns with the
tightness that some Of the sensational
dressmaker's models would lead one
to suppose. Though the d~raperies
are close and everything Is weighted
to hang fiat and straight. nothing Is
stretched into a tight wrinkle. Flesh
colored or white tulle Is inevitably in
side the corsage. as the corsage line
runs straight about under the arm or
extends in a deep point or square
quite to the high belt.

Misses Naval Waist.

The naval, or sailor, waist is al.
ways a favorite one for young girls,
and is admirable for school and col.
lege wear. It is just the right thing
in which to take exercise, and it Is al.
together satisfactory and becoming.
This one is made after tie latest style
and can be finished with just the neck
opening or with a longer one at the
front and laced together as may be
preferred. In the illustration it Ia
made of blue flannel, and is banded
with braid, while over the left front ia
a strip of red flannel and red flannel
also makes the chevrons, but such de-
tails can be arranged to suit individ-
ual taste, although the girls like to
