found in the school room. The prac
tice of treating intoxication from ;

Insurgents and Regulars Join To-
gether In the House Vote
on the Appropriation
BILL
Net the Faintest Trace OF Division
in Congress when the Matter
Came Up for Con-
sideration.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The re-
publican party in the house presented
a solid front in voting to appropriate
$250,900 for continuing the investiga
tions of the tariff board when the
provision was placed in the sundry
civil appropriation bill now pending
before the committee of the whole by
at vote of 110 to SS.
Every insurgent present at the time
voted with the republican regulars,
and notable among the supporters Of
the amendment were such insurgents
as Norris and Murdoch. The Taw-
/ ney amendment covering the tariff
commission, which - Zvided SO per-
feet a vehicle for democratic tariff
talks, democratic threats and demo-
cratic assaults, was likewise a peg
on which could have been hung re-
| publican i.surgent views and outlines
! OF their i.ture policies, but no one
| took advantage of it.
/ House leaders who are responsible
! for the putting through the legislative
program rejoiced over the fact that
| the republican party presented solid
/ front on question of so much import
ance, and far-reaching influence as an
appropriation for the further perfect
4 ing of the tariff law.
After several hours debate and
some Sparring in an attempt to modify
the tariff commission amendment SO
it could safely pass the scrutinizing
eye of Representative Mann of Hi
nois. chairman of the committee OF
the whole house: Representatives
Tawney. Bell of Texas and Payne
were announced as a trio OF cham
| pions to make the final gattling gun
talks for and against the amend
ment.
1 Tawney declared this is distinct
i've republican measure and we do not
expect any help from you democrats
on tho other side"
"The democratic party does not de
sire and does not need a tariff investi
cation to aid in carrying out It's tariff
law" he said, thus cementing, as he
hoped, the republicans in its support
Representative Bell of Texas, demo
crat, said the republican party was
"whistling to keep up its courage,
and this amused his colleagues. You
say" he shouted, shaking his finger
at the republicans, "that the tariff
law is good bill in the MAIN ] say
it is better bill in the remains"
Then Representative Payne of New
York, father of the Payne tariff act
was heard. q am Or the $250,G0(
appropriation asked for by Presiden
Taft and | am ready to meet the
information with relation to the sub
jecS of ile present tariff law thi!
investigation may produce as to labo1
and the industries of the country.
Il am not afraid of this informa
tion. What | want is chat the coun
try may understand the facts. TIT

The burning out of the timber
work in Mud tunnel on Cumbres
hill last week proved to be one
of the worst troubles that has
Overtaken the railroad in a long
time. The tunnel is $50 feet long
the timber work is still burning
and the tunnel caving in as the
timber supports burn away. About
800 men are engaged in building
a track around the hill, distance
of about three-forths of mile.
This work has been much more diff.
ficult than was anticipated but
it is thought trains will run thru
to-day. About 500 men were en-
gagged on the work but they have
been deserting in large numbers
on account of the hardships in
cldent to the location of the
trouble. An engine used in haul
ing filling material slid down the
embankment the first of the week
and the fireman was quite badly
hurt. While the work has been
under way, transfers Of passenger
and baggage has been the daily
program at the scene of the trou-
BILE The crew on the Durango
end have the big end of the run
and while the morning schedule
of running time is still in force
they reach Durango on the re
turn trip in the small hours of
the morning. On this end of the
line, the train waits in Alamosa
until about ! o'clock then runs
down to Mud tunnel, makes the
transfer, and returns to Alamosa
about 30 minutes late.
