INSURGENTS ARE
NOT IN DEMAND
OLD GUARD TAKES NO CHANCES
APPOINTMENTS OF COMMIT
TEEMEN IN THE HOUSE PLAIN
INDICATION.

Washington, Feb. 2.-No chances
are being taken by ''the old guard in
the senate in the matter of filling
committee vacancies. The commit
tee on committees met today to select
Republican for the committee on
civil service and retrenehment, OF
which Cummins is chairman. Borah
wanted the assignment and Cummins
desired that he be named. but 1t was
found that La Toilette Is already on
the committee and the appointment
of Borah, who is considered to have
"insurgent' proclivities, would give
that faction a majority of the five Re
publcans on the committee.
Borah was put through an eXamina-
ton. He declined to state where he
stood on the question of pensions for
government employees,
and other questions with which the
committee has to deal. He also as
serted forcibly that he was not a
member of any faction and did not
care to be Intercepted in such man.
ner.
No good excuse for rejecting Borah
was found and the matter was gotten
around by increasing the Republican
to seven. The new men,
bers viii be Rorah, smoot and Dixon.

Dance Forbidden by Uncle sam.

Fiercest of all the wild orgies of the
aborigines Of North America is the
fiesta which eliminates in the fire
dance of the Saboba Indians, a small
tribe living close to the Sierra Madro
range Of mountains. which wall off the
seacoast of California from the desert.
Up TO last year when the Indian
bureau of the United States govern
ment finally forbade the holding Of
these fiestas, the Sabobas had gath
cred every year at the base Of old
Mount San Jacinto to sing, dance and
gamble, and finally to throw them
selves into a pit of fiery Goals, roll
over and over on the burning bed, and
then dance with bare feet oil the red
hot floor Of the pit,--Wide World Mag
azine.

he COULDN'T FRANK FRUIT.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
Learns Mails Are Not Free for
Kitchen Service.

Washington. Senator Smith Of
South Carolina Is chagrined, morti-
fed and disgusted by the local postal
authorities, who notified him that he
must pay postage on a box containing
two enormous pineapples. He did not
think the fruit worth the price, and
had them returned to him.
Senator Taliaferro has for ten
weeks been waging fight to secure
higher duties on pineapples. He con
tended that those produced In Cuba
are vastly inferior to the Florida
brand To clinch the argument he
had few barrels OF extra stable
pineapples shipped up from his home
state and sent a brace to each of his
associates.
It turned out that Senator Smiths
wife is visiting down in South Caro-
lima, and he was bothered about the
disposition of his pineapples. Think
ing to agreeably surprise his wife,
he bundled the pineapples into a box
had frank placed thereon and
dumped them into the malls, He was
Just thinking what a nice surprise II
would be, when along came the notice
that a big bunch Of postage stamps
would be necessary to transport the
box and its contents southwark.

Still, the advantages aren't all ono
way The Washington lid who kicks
himself along over the asphalt on the
skate has distinct advantages over the
small boy tn immaculate white who il
led forth into Dupont Circle by a gov
erness, for he has more grornd to
play on and spread himself over.
MAJ. L'Enfant made great plan
for the capital, but he, OF his success
sors, forgot to put in the yards. There
were two states ans whole contin
ents beside to spread OYER, but house
builders persisted in putting up solid
rows of brick, sitting at most only a
few feet back from the street. They had
so much ground in the blocks that
they wound alleys through them and
lined these with tenements, But
yards for the kids were left out.
The larger circles and squares are
ovarrun with children. La FaYatte
Square, in front Of the White House
is crowded after the fashion of Hoi
mes Square in Kansas City, every fine
day. Only La Fayette Square has no
swings and is rather cluttered up with
walks and shrubbery.
The kids that live out on the
Heights in the northwest part OF the
town are in much better luck, for the
Heights overlook the zoo and Rock
Creek park
The zoo is great for the kids. 1t
sizes M pretty welt with the circus,
Tor it has an elephant, lions, a bird
cage as big as half of all outdoors and
incidentally several ella monsters.
The prospective ambassadors and
congressman and other kids roam
about in the zoo and in Rock Creek
park and see the lions fed md hear
them roar and have bully time.
Then there are tie swans in the
lake in the Soldiers Home grounds
and other forms OF excitement And
athe kids, not being used to having
yards, don't miss them.

OF $1o2 100000
THE POSTAL BANK BILL
Was Discussed at Length--Heyburn
Declares il an Act to Enable
Government to Become

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate to-
day passed the urgent deficiency and
army bills. carrying appropriations of
s102 900, 000 The postal savings bank
bill was discussed at length. Hey
burn, of Idaho, asserted that such
law would greatly endanger, if not
deseroy. incomes amounting to hun
dreds OF millions
Hepburn was speaking upon the
amendment for the regulation of the
removal of postal savings deposits
from the banks. He eontended that
as the savings fund under the bill
reached fully $700,000,000. it would
enable the board OF trustees to die
tate the rate of interest throughout
the country ''In other words, the
government purposes to go into the
loaning business" he said, land in
tends to fix the rate of interest at two
and quarter per cent"
In view of this Hepburn asked what
the effect would be on the incomes
derived from funds invested at five
and six per cent.
should We he asked, $50 forget
our duty to the widows and orphans
whose funds are thus invested as to
Disturb tie earning capacity of their
investments ?" He declared the bill
an act to constitute the government
a collection agency for the banks"
Hepburn dwelt upon the alleged
difficulty that, with the money once
deposited. there are no adequate
means of obtaining its return to de-
positors. Garter called attention to
the fact that in times of emergency
savings banks generally require no
tice of thirty to sixty days for with
drawaIs. An amendment providing
for the withdrawal of funds from
banks which are unwilling to pay pa
per cent interest, was under discus
sion at adjournment.
