NEAR" INSURGENTS
Kitchin Of North Carolina Calls Them
towards In n Red Hot Speech.


Washington, d. c., Feb. $3.50
called near" insurgents of the House
the gentlemen who are supposed to
denounce Speaker Cannon without
stint in their home district and tame
ly do his bidding here in Washington,
were bitterly attacked on the floor of
the House this afternoon by Claude
Kitchin, Democrat, of North Calolina,
who is recognized as one of the best
debaters in the lower branch of Con-
gress. Kitchin characterized the near
insurgents as men who have been ell
evated to high places by the speaker
only to turn against him in the hour
of his need.
"Brutus, when he assassinated Gaze
sar," said Kitchin, promised the Ro-
mans a better man than Caesar.
These former friends of the speaker,
in the assassination of that gentle
man, do not make a promise of any
thing, but someone weaker than the
speaker. | have some pride in the in
tellectuality of this body and in the
couage of it, and if this House must
as a member and Democrat, prefer
to see Speaker Cannon in the chair.
l myself, would rather see a giant
there than weakling | would rath-
er see a lion than a fox.
towards" was another of Kitchin S
Characterization of the near insur-
gents" He tried hard to get some
of them to rise to the bait and at
tempt an explanation. He was par
ticularly rough on Taylor, Cole and
the other members from Ohio, but all
of them managed to keep their tenn
pers very we'll until Foster of YER
mont rose to his feet at the conclu-
sion of Kitchin's speech and attempt
ed to reply. Foster didn't have the
sympathy of either the regular Repub-
licans, the real insurgents or the De-
mocrats, as was apparent from the
rather jeering remarks that greeted
his attempt, but he would have been
all right if he hadn't committed him
self to the statement that the Repub-
licans of New England are against
Cannon
Then up bobbed Rainy of Illinois
with the suave query as to what points
of difference existed between Cannon
and the Republicans of New England,
and while the Vermont member was
framing a suitable reply, Rainey gen.
tly suggested that he file "a bill of

gestion that 1.-The gentleman's time

Gemnrh ~. Dnmped Sntmrday.


The case of State VS.. Louis Spin
ELI, Intoxicating liquor, was heard III
City Court Saturday morning before
Acting Judge A. A. Sargent. A legal
lon keg of beer was seized III raid
at Spinelli's house last September
and the latter was arrested on the
charge of illegal keeping and bound
over to county court when he was
convicted and sentenced to the coun-
ty Jail. His sentence was completed
this week The beer had been held
by the court here until he had served
out his sentence so that he could ap-
pear for hearing IN the cOndemna-
ton proceedings. The peer was con-
demned by Acting Judge Sargent and
ordered destroyed. Spinelli was held to
pay costs which amounted to $13 and
he promptly paid. Another compll-
ment was paid to Sheriff Tracy and
his management of the county Jail
when Spinelli told the court that he
had not been to Jail, but had been
to college.

OVERCOME BY GAS.
Edward j. Badger has Narrow Escape
From Death and Is Twice Rescued
By OFFICER.


Edward j. Badger, VINO conducts a
lunch business in the cart opposite
Depot Square, had narrow escape
from asphyXiation by gas early Sat
urday morning. But for the fact that
Officer Frank Hamel happened to be
passing the cart as Mr.. Badger fell
against the door he would probably
have persisted.
The officer was passing at about
one o'clock, and, hearing something
fall, Investigated and found Mr.. Bad
ger lying upon the floor in an almost
unconscious condition. Smelling the
gas, the officer surmised the trou-
bic and pulled the man into the air
After being worked over for about an
hour, Mr.. Badger apparently recov-
cred.
Officer Hamel then went to Jones
e McMillan's stable to get a team to
carry him to his home and upon re-
turning to the cart, he found that Mr..
Badger had again fallen into the cart,
where he again inhaled the fumes of
the gas. He was taken to his home.
The cause of the gas escaping was
probably the loosening of the connec-
lions of a gas heater, which was used
in the cart.

1000 people are now homeless in Ohio

GAINESVILLE and are still rising. If
there is no abatement of the waters
before morning it is stated that the
water works power plant will be for

900 people are now being fed by the

Only few of the big steel works at
Youngstown are still running and

AT THE SEAT OF CUSTOMS.
William Loeb, Jr.-Wh0 Collects For
ty Per Cent. of Uncle Sans In.

come.
William Loeb, Jr, holds one OF the
meanest and biggest jobs in the coun-
try as Collector of Customs in New
York City. Isaac Russell, writing
about Mr.. Loeb in the March Ameri-
can Magazine, says of him:
president Taft made Loeb Collec-
tor of Customs for New York He
wanted him for his cabinet, but LoeO
had to decline for financial reasons
and so was given the collectorship
which carries salary worth while.
'The Importance of the work is
probably not at all understood il
most parts of the country. Passing
straight over the comparatively tri-
vial point that the Collector of Gus
toms has the appointment of nearly
1000 inspectors, weighers, laborers
and other assistants Ga vast patron
age generally used to aid the party
in power at Washington, let us cone
to the essential and really interest
ing facts:
'Loeb's is a job through which 10
per cent of the whole customs reve-
nue. is gathered in, and nearly 40 per
cent of the whole revenue of the
national government. In 1899 his Of
fee took in about $220,OO0,O00.
by this time the whole country
knows that apnIOuaoc Of tba C,oo =,
Trust have been caught cheating the
Government through relations with
weighers and samplers in the Customs
House in New York. And while this
crookedness was partially uncover
ed before Loeb took charge, it is a
pleasant fact that when Loeb came
in he pushed it along. Everybody
seems to agree that he rs honest, eff
cient, and a good politician.)
Following are some of the new
points about the new administration
of this important office:
"A rigid policy of honesty is bair :
enforced both as to the incoming tray
eler and the inspectors who look ov-
er his baggage. This has raised a
storm. There is no doubt that the In
spectors are frequently rude-espec.
tally in their treatment of women.
"The fines for irregularities in de-
claring baggage are being collected
for the first time in the history of
the Customs House. These fines for
June, 1909, were 500 per cent, great.
er than for June, 1908.
Criminal and civil suits are being
Instituted against importers who
formed the outer ring of graft
wheel whose power was so strong that
it brought under suspicion one man
IN every five within the inspecting
and weighing service.
Loeb has forced the public to be
square as well as the men inside the
Government service, and a commits
sion is now at work devising a plan
whereby the friction between the in
spector and the incoming passenger
viii be diminished to a minimum
practicable with securing the ulti-
mate penny due on dutiable goods"
