 Washington, May 22.=About this time each session a number of bills are indefinitely postponed, and the committees agree not to consider them further. The house committee on ag- riculture has already announced that tax on oleomargarine The reduction has been opposed by the granges throughout the country, while con sumers have petitioned in favor of it The committee has held several hear ings, but nothing further will be done at this time.
 The ship subsidy bill is also dead for this session. Several hearings also. but the charges against some members by those who favor ship sub sldy killed any chance the bill ever had to be considered at this session. These charges are now being investi- gated, but as the bill is dead anyway for this session, no one cares much about the investigation.
 An effort is being made to have the of congress- The committee on labor has thus far refused to take any ac- tion on this bill, which is strongly urged by the labor unions.

The Manufac- turers' association has fought it. and Attorney Daniel Davenport of Bridge port has appeared against the bill on various occasions. He will now have to fight the resolution of Representa- tive Kendall before the rules commit tee
 The anti-injunctipn bill. another la bor measure is still slumbering peace fully in the judiciary committee of the house, but as this forms a part of President Taft's legislative programme it may be reported later in the ses- sion. The bill that will pass. how ever, will not be satisfactory either to the manufacturers or the labor un- ions The former do not want any legislation on the subject at all while the latter think the bill does not go far enough to give them any relief.
 The postal savings bank bill has not yet been reported out of the house postoffice committee, although the sub committee has agreed upon a bill. A caucus of the republican members of the house will probably be held next week. but the bill is in danger of de- feat, and may be postponed until some future time. Banks are opposed to some of the features of the bill that passed the senate, and if reported at all to the house it will be materially from the senate bill.
 The statehood bill for Arizona. and New Mexico, which passed the house | without any difficulty, is said to be | doomed in the senate

 Citys Million Dollar Pier
PRESENT WORKING DAY IS TOO LONG
Said the Rev. Charles Sickle, who Made the Principal Address of the Meetins-de Attacked Present ln- dustriaI and Social Conditions Among the Working Classes-Justification for Shorter Working Day.

in our industrial system In some cases it is nothing short of murder The rail ways of America alone kill nearly 12,- GOO people eyry year and injure 120, ,000 persons
 The Dangers Following a Long Work
 ing Day.
 Continuing he said:
 ''The present working day from a physiological standpoint is too long. It keeps the majority of men and women in a constant state of over fatigue it leads to the craving of means for deadening fatigue and in duces drunkenness and other excesses. The real justification for a shorter working day is found in the interest of the race. It is the business of the church to help remedy this situation. We should talk less about building up the church and more about building up the people,
 asThe Protestant churches of America have a membership of 1S,000,000, with a constituency of 40,O0O,000. It is the most powerful agency in America to- day for the solution of the social prib- lem"
 Conservation of Country Life.
 Rev. Warren H. Wilson, assistant to Supt- Sickle, speaking of the con servation of country aife,'' said that the church holds a great reSponsibil- ity in preventing the rush for the cities that is threatening the power of the country. Dr. Wilson insisted that country ministers must take up both the financial and social work to keep young peopl of the country to obviate the danger of the country being forced to import its foodstuffs within a few years
 Officials of the Atlantic City Central Labor union led delegation of 2,0O0 mechanics and laborers who attended the meeting.

Earth Between Comets Two Tails
SAYS UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
 ASTRONOMER.
PROF. HuSsEY's EXPLANATIONS
Of Hitherto Contradictory Reports Both Tails, One Short and Bright,
 Extend Southward Away from Sun.

Ann Arbor, Mich., May 22.-Prof. w k- Hussey of the University of Michi- gan observatory said last night tha { the cablegram from Johannesburg in con e6nnectson with photographs made at Sne Michigan observatory explains the hlrnerto contradictory reports as to Ine presence of the comets taii in both the east and west.
 What the Photographs Inoi-ase.
 Our photographs" said Professor Hussey. Indicated two tails, one a short, bright one, superimgosed above less distinct horizontal appendsse, both extending southward away from the sun.
 Earth Passed Through One Tail.
 Tn view of the reports that one tail is now visible at night in the west and the other in the morning in ythe east, It IS probable tRat the earth is be- tween these tw6 tails, having passed through one of them"
 HaiIey's Comet Appears Very Much
 Smaller and Fainter.
 Geneva, N. Y., May 22-pr. William R. Brooks of Smith observatory ob- served Hafley's comet Saturday night. He made this statement today:
 HaIleys comet was to be seen Sat- urday night dn the western sky, close to the computed position. The comet was first seen with the telescope in bright twilight and in the presence of a nearly full moon. A little later in the evening, about 8.15 o'clock, it was detected with the naked eye, although with difficulty, on account of a rather dense haze in the western sky
 The tail could be traced for only a few degrees, partly on this account and the moonlight. As seen with the tele- scope the coma or head is pointed in shape, with the nucleus directly in front, and it appears very much small CT and fainter than when seen last week in the eastern heavens"

 Anew.
 The bequest opens anew the gradu- ate college discussion which became an issue when an offer of $500, 1000 was made for the graduate school by Will It is believed that the additional large sum available for the graduate college will by reason of it's magnitude set aside number of conditions which have hitherto been prime factors in the dispute.
