Rivers and HarbOrs.

Washington, Feb. 15.=After con
sidering the rivers and harbors bill
seven hours the house had disposed
of 20 of the 100 pages, without any
important changes. The feature was
Cannon's expressed approval of the
bill and his incidental declaration to
the Democrats that IL they ever come
into control of the house they would
realize the necessity of providing
methods of procedure that would al
low them to either transact business
or by inaction disappoint the people.
No senator being prepared to dis
cuss the postal savings bank bill 1t
was laid aside by the senate. and
most of the session was devoted to
bills upon the calendar.
Representative Davidson, OF Wis
consin, today opposed the appropria-
tion of a million dollars toward the
construction of a waterway from
Lockport, via the Des PLANES and
Illinois rivers, to the mouth of the
Illinois river, on the ground that
congress has no report upon the
project. He insisted that either the
house is offering the people of Chi
cago a gold brick, knowing the APP
preparation could not become avail
able under the rivers and harbors
appropriation. or 1t was providing
money before it was known that the
project will be declared feasible.

Cannon Talks.

Washington, Feb. 15-"If we lose
sight of our own Importance and
our own position for the time being,
there will come in our places better
and wiser men, who will not lose
sight of the necessity to provide for
an orderly procedure under which a
majority can work its will; where
the responsibility rests there must
be a power with the majority to
move on, being responsible"
Cannon, speaking from the floor
of the house, as the gentleman from
Illinois," sounded this warning. He
arose for the purpose of approving
the rivers and harbors bill. but dur
ing the twenty-minute speech he re-
ferred lightly to magazine and news
paper criticism. and reminded the
minority that the power of the ma
jority was futile unless enforced by
well oiled machinery.
1t was while Fitzpatrick, Demo-
erat. of New York, had the floor
that the members were surprised To

TWIN BROTHERS GET MONEY

Patrolman Andy Stewart was
mulcted 800 in damages in the cir
cult court today. for "cussing out"
w. II. and G. H. Carter, two well
known Graves county farmers and
twin brothers. at Second street and
Broadway during the holidays. Now
policemen are wondering of how
much varue the bond is. for which
they are paying out their money;
and II the bond docs not protect Pa
trolman Stewart. II is probable that
steps will be taken to secure some
kind of a bond that does protect
them.
II was a case of 'old dog Tray"
and the "move-on" ordinance that
got the patrolman in trouble. He
had been on the force nearly 80
years and Is one of the most efficient
OF the men. He has a bad beat to
patrol and is accustomed TO speaking
the kind Of language that bullies he
has to deal with understand.
II so happened that the Carriers
were talking with one or two men
well known to the police. and Patrol
man Stewart, not knowing the Car
ters. ordered the whole crowd, In no
gentle tones, to "moye on"
The Carriers demonstrated and
some one back in the crowd jibed
the policeman, who returned and
told what he would do IL they didn't
move on.
The Carriers reported TO Mayor
Smith, who summoned Patrolman
Stewart TO his Office, where Stewart
acknowledged exactly what he had
done. and when he was informed
that the Carriers were good men and
he had confused them with some
other people in the crowd, he apollo
gized, and both the gentlemen ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with
the apology.
However, later suits for $1,000
each were brought against Patrol
man Stewart. and the jury after be-
ing out an hour. returned verdicts
for $50 in each case.
Charges Preferred.
The board of police and fire COM
missioners is summoned TO meet on
Thursday night to consider charges
against Patrolman Franklin, prefer
red by Illinois Central Yardmaster
Riley. According to the charges
Franklin and Riley both tried to
use the Illinois Central telephone
system at the same time. and con-

trolman left his beat and went down
to seek personal satisfaction.
