SENATE ADJOuRNS ON ACCOUNT
OF DEATH OF THE LATE
KING EDWARD.
Investigate Into the Postoffice Frank
Privilege May Take On Longer
Scope Than at First Expected-The
House Took Up Matters Regarding
District Of Columbia.

Washington, May 9.-Previous to
adjournment at O'Clock, on account
of the death of King Edward VII,
the senate today devoted two hours
to the consideration of the railroad
bill. Senator Overman of North
Carolina spoke in favor of the long
and short haul clause of the bill,
while Senator Piles of Washington
opposed that provision of the meas
ure.
Earlier in the day Senator Stone
of Missouri introduced a resolution
instructing the committee on post
Offices and post roads to make in
quiry into the propriety of the use
of franks in circulating a pamphlet
in support Of the Payne-Aldrich tar
III law. The resolution was referred
to the postoffice committee under a
promise of speedy report, there
being some indication that the in
quiry might take on a broader scope
and that the misuse of the franking
privilege generally might be entered
upon.
In the house legislation relating to
the District of Columbia occupied the
entire session.

the cases of James Moss Huntoon,
Col. Thos. H. Sw0pe and Christmas

correct. Never, the physician said,
did he try to poison any one either

POULTRY Farmer HAS
PARROT SCARE CROW

Spokane, Wash, May 9-(SpeciaD :.
John SPEEDY" Smith, poultry
farmer on Palcer creek, in the heart
OF the Coeur d'Alene mining district
in northern Idaho, has stationed sew
eral talking parrots as policemen on
his ranch to drive off hawks and
mountain rats, and raids on his pens
are now things of the past. The
parrots take kindly to the work and
by their screeching they have forced
the birds of prey and rodents to give
the ranch a wide berth. The rats
were the worst pests and their raids
have cost Smith hundreds of dollars,
getting into the chicken pens and
killing the pullets and hens BY biting
their throats and eating their hearts.
Since placing the parrots in the
yards and pens, not hawk
or rat has been seen and Cmith
believes he has solved a problem that !
has given poultry farmers in the
districts much concern
during the last five years. Farmers
In other parts of the district say they |
will try the plan.

LOOKS FOR final VICTORY
THINKS THAT RAILROAD BILL
WILL PASS WITHOUT A
DOUBT,
Tells What Legislation He Thinks
Will Be Passed BY the Present
House - Says Republicans Are
Naturally Slow In the Matter Of the
Statehood Bill and for Good Reason

Passaic, N. j., May 9.-In a speech
before the Passaic Board Of Trade
here tonight, in which he discussed
the legislative situation at Washing
ton, President Taft declared with a
great deal of emphasis and amid an
outburst of applause that the rail-
road bill has not been emasculated
in any vital way and predicted that
a satisfactory law would be passed.
"The bill,' said the president,
"still retains it's important features
and I am hopeful that within the
next few weeks we shall see the pas
sage of the bill in both houses, the
readjustment of difference between
the two houses and it's final enact
ment."
The president declared that news
paper reports of the crippling Of the
railroad bill had been greatly exag-
gerated, and he set out in detail the
provisions of the measure as it now
stands.
In his review Of pending legisla-
tion, Mr.. Taft expressed the belief
tnat the following measures will be
enacted into laws:
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico; postal savings; anti-injunc-
tion; the so-called validating bill Of
conservation measures; the publici-
ty of campaign expenditures; the
railroad bill.
In his comment on the delay in
passing the statehood bill, the presi-
dent acknowledged that there was
hesitation" on the part of repub-
licans in the senate to pass bill
which is Eat once likely to add four
more democrats to the senate" Or,
If not democrats, he added, "repub-
licans of that radical type that are
entirely out of sympathy with the
more conservative notions of the
east"
Fovernor Fort of New Jersey
aroused a great deal of enthusiasm
with a speech that denounced the
criticism of an executive on the
ground that he should be responsible
for legislation land everything else"
