HOUSE WOULD ABOLISH
US. PENSION AGENCIES
Votes to Retain But One of
Eighteen-Senate May
Not Concur.

Although the House voted yesterday
afternoon to abolish all but eighteen pen
sion agencies in the country. there is lit
tie expectation among members Of Con-
gress that they Will really be closed up.
For number Of years the House has
gone through the form Ct abolishing all
but the Washington pension agency, the
Senate has provided for their continu-
ance and the Senate's provision has pre-
vailed. The subject has at times dead
locked the conferees on the bill. usually
until the very last day Of each session.
This year, it is believed, there is even
less chance for the abolition of the PEN
sion agencies outside Of Washington than
ever before And the reason is that the
lame ducks Of the Senate will insist that
there be no change in the system OF dis
tYibuting pensions, at least not until they
have ended their public service.
Matter Of Pride.
Several of the defeated senator's have
taken special pride in the pension
agencies in their states. The agents have
been considered the special patronage OF
the members Of the Senate, and those
who are soon to drop out do not want
to mark the end Of their service by yield
ing to such q change.
The situation regarding the pension
agencies is described by scofing
members as similar to that in connection
with the bar In the Capitol several years
ago. It was the annual custom of the
House to vote for the abolition Of the
Capitol bar and of the Senate to insist
upon it's maintenance. One fine day,
however. the Senate gave the matter spe-
cial attention, concluded it didn't want
the. bar in the Capitol and allowed that
provision Of the House to stand.
Came as Stunning Surprise.
Some members of the House were stun
ned by the unexpected and appealed to
the Senate not to violate custom. It de-
veloped that some voted for the abolition
of the bar in the full expectation that
the Senate would do the usual thing and
insist that the oasis remain.
A similar charge was made on the floor
Of the House yesterday, in connection
with the motion to abolish the branch
pension agencies.
II have no hesitancy in SAYING, re-
marked Representative Goulden, "even
my good. patriotic friend from Illinois
(Mr. Foster). II he thought this amend
.ment would prevail in both houses, would
not offer it"

TO REMEDY DEFECTS IN
DEFENSES0F COUNTRY
Gen. Wood Argues for increase
;. Of Army to 100000
Bills Proposed.

A plea to-remedy the defects in the de-
lenses Of tho country was made before
the House committee on military affairs
today by Maj. Gen. Wood, chief Of staff
Of the army. Gen. Wood made an elab-
crate statement. It was much along the
line Of the War Departments views con-
corning the subject matter Of the resolu-
ton, introduced by Representative Nc
LAchlan Of California and passed at the
last session Of Congress, calling for q de-
tailed report on the preparedness Of the
country against foreign attack
Secretary Makes Report.
A confidential report complying with
the resolution was submitted to Congress
today by Secretary Of War Dickinson,
but was not presented to the committee,
though Gen. Wood discussed the. same
subject.
Gen. Wood argued that Congress should
provide for moro artillery and field guns
and for a greater stock Of munitions Of
war, so as to be prepared for any emer-
gency. He believed that the standing
army should be expanded from $1,000 to
10000 men. He favored reducing the
term Of enlistment from three years to
two years, and believed in the active en-
couragement OF the militia Of the states
as q valuable first national reserve and
that the 10000 or more men annually go
ing out Of the army to resume private life
should be kept in close touch with the
government SO that they could constitute
q second reserve.
Robson Provides for Council.
The establishment Of "a council of ma
tional defense as an outsrowth of the
talk of military unpreparedness Of the
country was proposed in bill introduced
today by Representative Hobson of Ala
bama. 1t Is designed to establish a
definite and consecutive policy of national
defense. determined by the deliberations
OF both the executive and legislative
branches Of the government, and to in.
sure harmony not only in Determining
but in enforcing the policy.

A SAD STORY.
The Misfortune That Came with
Terrible Tumble.

The Misfortune That Came with q
Terrible Tumble.
Fowling is now very little practiced
in the Shetland islands. although many
eggs are secured annually, Many
thrilling stories of fowllng adventure
are told by the Shetlanders. A man
who had undertaken to climb certain
steep cliff was neither very expert
enced nor very brave, although be
boosted of being both. He pushed up
ward, however, brlskly without look
ing behind until he had got up about
$50 feet, when he stopped to breathe.
The pause was fatal to his self posses
sion, and he called out in tones of ter
ror, "Men, men, am going-l am go
ing" But he still held on for little,
and It was not till he had shrieked
MANY times II am going" that he did
fall headlong.
His comrades, having thus been
warned, moved the boat out of the way
so that the poor fellow came sheer
down into the deep water. Mighty
was the plunge, but at length he rose
TO the surface, when of course he was
instantly caught hold of and dragged
into the boat. After many gasps and
much spluttering of sea water from his
mouth his only remark was: "Eh,
men, this is a sad story. ! haye lost
my snuffbox. Sketches and Tales
Of Shetland"

tlent. "Pll do as you say. You needn't

COTTON CROP PROSPECTS.
Fine Crops in Eastern states-WeevIl
Menaces Some Sections.

"CIdSSS SOiVS OGCllOnSs
The cotton crop situation Is summa-
rized thus by the Commercial-Appeal:
1t is evident that the recent rainfall
in Texas has been Of scattered and
local benefit, the precipitation being
too light in most cases to relieve the
drouth. In central and southern parts
of the state bolls are opening very
rapidly and almost the entire crop
unless rain falls soon, will very short
ly be ready for the pickers. The yield
promises somewhat better than last
year, however. The crop in northern
counties is good. Oklahoma's pros.
pect continues excellent, a record pro
ductiOn being indicated.
In other states returns do not aver
age quite so favorable as during the
preceding four weeks. The rainfall
has been unevenly distributed, and
there are places where shedding Is
complained of, the most serious re.
ports coming from central and south
ern Alabama. The crop in Louisiana
and southern Mississippi will not be
increased beyond its present promise,
because of the activity of boil weevil.
In all eastern and valley states,
where rain has fallen during the
past two weeks, reports are good, and
there are some fine crops. The plant
generally has fruited we'll, but late
frost is needed for maturing every
thing in sight. AS a rule, cotton Is
opening slowly, but the fruit is be.
ginning to mature more rapidly than
heretofore

MEMORY IN FISH.
Striking Results shcwn In a Test With

nSSulIS WI III COL WIN
Gray Perch.
Even the fishes of the sea have pic
lures on memory's wall. Experiments
have been made with several fishes
as to their faculties for remembering,
but the most striking results have been
obtained with the cray perch, which
lives chiefly on small silvery hued
sardines. Sumo of these were taken
and colored red ard were then put
into the tank where the perch was
with several silver colored sardines.
OF course the normal sardines were at
once seized and eaten, but it was not
until hungry that the perch made
tentative meal of one of the red col
ored victims.
On recognizing the sardine flavor.
however, he promptly demolished the
remainder Later the perch devoured
the sardines irrespe, tive of color. thus
showing not only traces of a memory.
but also the power to differentiate
color.
Subsequently sardlnes colored red
and blue were placed In the tank to-
gether with the silver ones. The same
scene was repeated, the blue sardines
not being attacked until the others
were eaten and hunger compelled In
vestigation Of the newcomers. After
this introduction the perch ate the sar-
dimes Of all three types without any
difficulty.
Some spines of the sea nettle were
then fastened to the blue sardInes.
These were at once avoided by the
perch, which promptly got out of the
way Of the newcomers. This showed
traces Of memory, as the results Of
contact with the sea nettle were shown
and recognized.-Chicago Tribune.
