Washington. March l5-That he would oppose the adninistra ti"h- railroad bill. even though it might result in an effort to read him out of the party. Senator Cummins of Iowa. in effect declared in the sen ate today in his initial speech on that measure.
 He commented especially on the history of the measure. which, he said. had originated in the eXecu- tive branch of the government rath- CT than in the congress.
 After occupying a place on the senate calendar for eighteen days. the bill was taken up at , o'clock. thus launching d dicussion of what members of the senate regard as the most important legislation before con- sress.
 The Iowa senator had spoken about two hours when he asked leave to suspend until tomorrow. Leave was granted. but Senator Hale. chair man of the republican caucus gave notice that hereafter the bill will he kept constantly before the senate.
 A THREAT OF DOG DAYS.
 In language just as positive. Sen dlOT DdlAeA utCiditu NiidA lhc Diii should not be rushed. and he declared that congress was liable to be con sidering it when dog days" arrived.
 In the main Mir Cummins speech was devoted to q general review of the railroad measure. but it was pre- ceeded by d recital of the proposed legislation, in which he criticised the course of the president, and declared his intention Of opposing the bill in it's present shape. If uncontradicted. and apparently authorized statements by newspapers are not in error. ev cry republican is expected to vote for it just as it is. unless he dare incur not ony executive displeasure. but punishment from the republican ranks" said MT. Cummins.
 T don't speak of this phase of the subject in a spirit of anger. 1 am conscious of no other sentiment than profound regret. recognize that it is not only the privilege but the duty of the president to make such recommendations as in his judgment will promote his views on such subjects as often as he likes. and as emphatically as he pleases
 ROOSEVELT LESS A GEAR.
 Whether he is within his privi- lege or his duty when he undertakes to prescribe the precise. form that legislation shall assume is doubted. His great predecessor evidently thought executive prOpriety would not permit it. for when dealing with the same subject in his message of 1905 he said: It is not my province to indicate the exact terms of law which shall be enacted, but to call the attention of congress to certain existing conditions with which it is desirable to deal
 T would not. however. be inclined To attach much importance to the practice. which now seems very gen eral, were it not that the results in the very nature of things would be disastrous. Although senator ihay he in full sympathy with the broad purposes of the executive. the mo- ment he asserts an independent view of the best way to accomplish that purpose, he finds himself in direct conflict with the president and must choose between losing presidential favor and doing the thing in d way his conscience tells him it ought not be done

Woman Led Hold.Up.

Pittsburg.-The' police are work
ing upon the theory that a woman
was the instigator of the bank hold
up at the Victor Banking Company
McKees Rocks, one week ago. when
two officials of the bank were killed
and all the ready cash was taken
from the vault by four masked per-
sons. Two women are under arrest
Katie Prosk, employed in the
household of DR.. J. A. Ruben, of
McKees Rocks, has revealed informa-
ton why she drew $500 from the
bank on the afternoon of the hold
up.
The police will not reveal the
name of the second prisoner, but
acknowledge it is a woman.
While we cannot discuss the de-
tails" said Chief Henry Muth, of
the county detective force, 1--WE now
know that the hold-up was planned
and may have been executed with
the assistance of a woman. We do
know the names of two of the men
implicated and we believe the look
out, whose gun did such terrible exc
cution, was a woman attired in male
garments.
From our information she is a
veritable Amazon, planning the en-
tire hold-up and still with decency
enough to notify some of her close
friends to withdraw their money
from the institution"

Sounded Best When Silent.

In railroad Office in West Phila-

clerk of Celtic extraction, who keeps
his associates in constant state of

witticisms, intewpersed occasionally
with bulls" so glaring that even he
himself has to join in the laugh that
invariably follows such a break on
his part.
There was some trouble on the
telephone one day recently and
Mike, as he is called among his
friends, lost much of his usual good
nature in his efforts to get the gist
of message that was being sent
from another office. The man on the
other end Of the wire finally became
exasperated and asked Mike if he
was losing his hearing.

Coed Trout Season.


Harrisburg.-In spite of the alb
sence of rain Fish missioner Will
liam Il. Meehan says the prospects
are good for the trout season. which
opened Thursday night and will con-
tinue until July 81.
According to all accounts trout
fishing this year will be excellent"
said the commissioner. with the
exception of Susquehanna County
streams and several others. where
the drought has affected the creeks
fishing will be unusually good.
1T is probable that no very large
fish will be caught. but there should
be plenty from six to eight inches
in the waters. Some streams have
already been fished for trout, but !
do not believe this will affect the
sport.
Reports from the best fishing
streams, such as Broadheads, show
that the streams really contain many
trout. The streams in Clinton. Clear
field. Lycoming. Tioga. Monroe and
Pike are all said to be in the best
OF condition for trout fishing and
all of these streams are well
stocked"

The Proper School Age.

The old question, "At What Age
Should Children Enter SCHOOL," is
being agitated in educational circles.
Companionship and study are excel
lent elements in an education for
the young when It is possible to have
groups of children enter school at
the same age. For example, if all
the children in neighborhood could
begin attendance at the age of SIX
or seven or eight years then the
companionship would have much to
do with fostering a child's interest
in the studies.
One educators advice that the par
ents should consult with the prin-
cipal of the school in the district
where they reside and have him ex-
anime the child for the purpose of
deciding whether 1t is best to have
him begin schooling is sensible. Pat
1t Is far better to have physicians
opinion pn this subject There are
too many children of tender age
ambitious to study who have not the
requisite physical health. Body build
ing is of more consequence than men,
tai attainments in the beginning of
child's educhtion.-Boston Globe.

other place was made. Here the
editor found much to interest him.
He scurried about and was soon lost
to view.
His angelic escort got worried
at last and began systematic search
for his charge. He found him at
last seated before a furnace, tanning
himself and gazing at the people in
the fire. On the door of the furnace
was a plate, saying, 'Diliquent Sub
