Election of Standing or Special
Committees Except by
Recorded Vote

WASHINGTON, March 30.--Declaring
the new rules committee Of the house
was chosen by secret ballot in the Re-
publican and Democratic caucuses,
which in its natural effect and tend
ency is destructive of free and repre-
sentative government, Representative
Sims (DemocraD of Tennessee today
introduced a resolution in the house
prohibiting the election of any stand
ing or special committees of the house
by secret ballot in caucus. Mr.. Sims
resolution was referred to the rules
committee.
Referring to his resolution Mr.. Sims
said he INTENDED no criticism whatever
of the action of the recent party eau
cuses in choosing the new rules COM
mittee.
THAT action was above suspicion in
itself" said Mr.. Sims, but it is the
principle of selecting members of the
committees by means of secret ballot
that 1 am opposed to. The election
should be in such form that the vote of
every member of the caucus could be
recorded in black and white"

READING GRANTS
MEN WAGE BOOST
$1,000 EMPLOYEES GET 6 PER
CENT INCREASE
Advance Similar to That Made by the
Pennsylvania alroad-Gen-
eraI Prosperity and High
Costs Reason

PHILADELPHIA, March S0.-Fol-
lowing the lead of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, which has given a
per cent wage increase to $4,000
employees on all railroad lines con-
nected with its vast system east and
west of Pittsburg, came an announce
ment from the offices of the Ph1la-
delphia & Reading Railway company
late this afternoon of a similar advance
in wages to its men.
Like that of the Pennsylvania, the
Readings increase affects all employees
who receive less than 5000 a month.
The Readings advance, however. does
not include those employees whose
wages have been adjusted within the
last ninety days.
From time to time during the last
three months the Reading has ad-
iusted wages of certain classes OF
trainmen and other employees. In
cluding those the increase announced
today affects about $4,000 employees.
The general prosperous condition of
the railroads and the cost of living are
given as reasons for the increase.

$500, 900 to $400, 600 and owns string of
race horses.
The police say they do not know

Fav is the man supposed to be
wanted for the robbery Of the post
office at Pasadena in May, 1907, when

the work OF experts, as no explosives
were used. and although reward OF

of the criminals no one has ever
