TO ADJOURN AT EARLY DATE
Members of Congress Expect Session
to Close Net Later Than
June 80.

Observation-Disclosures on the ad-
ninistration railroad bill were in ses-
sion more than six hours and made
such progress as led them to predict
that they will be able to report to
congress early this week, probably not
later than Wednesday.
In the tentative draft that has been
made up from the bills as they we're
passed by the house and senate, the
only two questions that remain in Sc
rious dispute are those relating to the
long and short haul and the period
that increases in rates should be sus-
pended to give the interstate CON-
merce commission time to pass upon
their reasonableness.
With an agreement on the railroad
bill in sight, the members Of congress
are beginning to figure on adjourn
ment. Few members of either branch
now expect the session to last longer
than Thursday, June 80, and not a few
have put their guesses as early as
June %, which is Saturday.

B0yTELL is FOR LICENSE
Congressman In Address Before Brew
ers' Convention Declares Prohibl-
ton Does Not Prohibit.

Washington,-In addressing the an
nual convention of the United Brew
ers' association Wednesday, Repre-
sentative Boutell of Illinois made an
unqualified attack on prohibition.
Three lessons. he said, were to be
learned from the several states that
had put prohibition laws into effect.
These were, he contended That pro-
hibition did not prohibit; that when
the open sale Of mild beverages was
forbidden the surreptitious sales of
strong spirits of an inferior quality
greatly increased; that there was
an appalling increase, in prohibition
states in the demand for patent medi-
cines, tonics and narcotic drugs.
Mr.. Boutell declared that prohibit
tory laws, whether effective or inef-
fective, were regarded by the wisest
statesmen and philanthropists as out
of harmony with the spirit of ideal
government of an enlightened, free
people

ASKS CHANGE IN RATE BILL
Taft Sends Special Message to Con-
gress Urging Notifications to Con-
form With Agreement.

hington.-President Taft sent a
special message to congress Tuesday
in which he recommended that the
clause of the new railroad bill which
gives the Interstate Commerce COM
mission power to investigate and sus-
pend increased rates filed by the
railroads he modified so as to take ef-
feet Immediately upon the signing of
the act.
AS it stands in the bill the provision
would not take effect for 60 days.
The president bases his request
upon the agreement he reached with
the railroads, whereby they agreed to
withdraw all increased rates until the
new law is signed.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no goRd.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scaling of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought l would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. l did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

LORIMER CHARGES ARE FILED
Senator CuIIom Lays Before Senate
Memorial Prepared by Voters
League of Chicago.

Washington.-Sena Cullom Tues
day laid before the senate a memorial
prepared by the Legislative Voters
league of Chicago embodying formal
charges against Senator William
Lorimer.
Senator Cullom offered the memorial
without comment and it was read
only in part and referred without COM
ment to the committee on privileges
and elections.
The leagues memorial is a long
document, embodying the confessions
of White and Holstlaw, that they were
bribed to vote for Lorimer; the bri-
berry indictment against Lee O'Neil
Browne, and otherwise summarizes
the allegations heretofore published
as affecting Lorimer's election.
This memorial places formal
charges before the committee and is
a basis for action which the senate has
not had before

POSTAL BANK BILL IS PASSED
HOUSE ADOPTS MEASURE BY A
VOTE OF 1876 TO 1o1.
Last of Taft's Proposed Acts Goes to
Senate for Concurrence
Democrats Split.

Washington.-With the Republican
side a unit and the Democratic
lines broken in twain the postal saw
ings bank bill was passed by the
house Thursday by vote of 1876 to
101.
This is the last of the presidents s
legislative measures to have to pass
least, that the president will insist on.
The house has now passed the, rail-
road bill, the statehood bill and the
conservation bill. The injunction bill
will be permitted to slumber in COM
mittee, the president having told
house leaders he will not insist on it.
From now until adjournment the
house will mark time, while the SEN
ate completes it's work and the con-
ferees get together on bills on which
the house and senate disagree. The
general deficiency appropriation and
the public buildings bills can be
brought out and passed at short no.
tice. Neither will be the subject of
general attack.
Whether the postal savings bank
bill as it passed the house will have
to go to conference is uncertain. The
president approves the house bill,
which is a substitute for the senate
measure. Senator Borah, who was
one of the most active of the Repub-
licans in framing the senate bill, has
told the president that there is a
chance of the senate accepting the
house bill
The house bill differs from the SEN
ate bill in many important features,
mainly in the difference of amounts
of deposits to be carried in local
banks and in the control Of the presi-
dent over the amounts so deposited.
The senate bill carries a hard and
fast clause holding half of the de-
posits in local banks, not subject to
withdrawal, for investment in any Sc
curities; and providing for means for
the withdrawal by individuals Of their
deposits for investment in govern
ment bonds.

tjnue as a result of indictments re-
turned against prominent clubmen in
Memphis charged with association
with a gigantic cotton steal in the
past several years, involving the lit
eral lifting of thousands of dollars
worth of cotton bales, in some in

pounds. Capt. C. NJ. Cole, president
of the Cole Cotton Co. and we'll known
in club circles, is under arrest. Hugh
Mott, member of a prominent family,
has been indicted, and detectives are
looking for others alleged to have
been associated with a successful
scheme in the past five years, whereby
systematic robbery has been made of
cotton from the railroad depots of the
Illinois Central, the Frisco and the
Rock Island systems, with the aid of
clerks.

ment of such laws as may be neces-

nor of Maryland as state chairman,

QUAKE KILLS SCORES IN ITALY
SOUTHERN PART OF COUNTRY
is AGAIN SEVERELY SHAKEN.
Thousands Flee In Panic as Towns
Are Rulned-old Men Die
of Fright.

Avellino, Italy.-The brunt of a Sc
we're earthquake that rocked the south
ern portion of Italy Tuesday was
borne by the province of AVellino.
At Avellino, King Victor Emman-
uel and Queen Helena appeared be-
fore the people in an effort to check
their fright. Not even they, however,
could reassure the terrified.
The latest advices show the number
Of known dead as follows:
Avellino, 20; Valetta, l.; San Fele di
Potenza, 6; Castel, Basonia, 1;
Clanchi, /; San Sossio, 10; Calitri, 30.
1t is believed when the full list is
secured, and the fatalities in the out
lying district have been learned, the
death roll will run far higher. Gov
ernment officials stated the first esti-
mate of 800 will not be too high.
Distressing scenes were witnessed
as thousands fed in terror from their
novels, some dying of fright.
Much damage was done to property,
but it Is impossible to determine the
extent of the devastation.
In this city little harm wss done,
and the only death reported was that
of an old man who died of fright. The
population, however. was terror
stricken.
At Calitri, where 20 people are re-
ported killed, the situation is distress
ing. Ten persons are said to have
met death at San Sossio, where the
sulphur waters with which the dis
trict is rich, were released from
bounds by the disturbance and flood
ed the vicinity. From the flood
noxious gases arose.
At Chianche a house fell burytng
and killing an aged man.
One person was killed and several
were injured at Castelbaronia.
Half-naked men, women and chill
dren fled from their homes screaming
with terror. They had in their minds
visions of Messina and the horror OF
Reggie.
After several hours Of frantic en-
treaty the authorities succeeded in re-
establishing a semblance of calm and
relief squads were organized.

that l beheld that day none comes to
me more wildly than an unchronicled
little scene that occurred when the
fighting was over for the day.
I'm the evening, just after dark, we
of the staff came struggling in one aft
er another to General Meade's head
quarters, a plain little farmhouse.
When l entered the room the general
was seated at a table, with his chin
resting in his hand, and evidently
deep in thought. He returned my sa-
lutte, but said nothing
I'm a few minutes another of the
staff came in, then another and so on
until all were present We were all
covered with dust, and my face felt as
though it had thick incrustation of
mud on it.
presently the servant came in and
spread upon the table few crackers
or hardtack, some pieces of bacon, and,
if recOllect, a little fruit-perhaps they
were cherries, although where he
could have got them ! do not know.
General Meade looked smilingly. al.
though it was rather a dry smile, at
our humble repast. Then, doubtless
realizing how worn out we all were, he
said This is one of the occasions
when think man is justified in
taking a drink of whisky
General Meade was himself a very
abstemious man, rarely drinking any
Spirituous liquor, and the same was
true Of every member of the staff.
~ will see if there is any whisky
here he added. Again he spoke to
the servant, who, a moment or two
later, brought in bottle of whisky and
set it upon the table.
General Meade glanced casually at
the bottle.
General Sharpe he said, won 1t
you take glass of whisky? | think
it will do you good
Il took up the bottle and tumbler,
although | never knew how that tum.
bier got upon the table at that time.
Without pouring out any whisky, said
to General Meade: General, | think
you ought to take drink You need
it more than any of u.s.
General Meade, without taking the
bottle, looked at it, and, in the dim
light of the two candles that were on
the table, was able to see exactly how
much whisky it contained. There was
not enough for one moderate drink.
The general again glanced casually
ct the bottle. No. he said, 1 don't
think care for any whisky. Iwould
like a cup of coffee
Then he urged one of the staff to
take a drink, but he, also having dis
covered by this time that there was
only one drink in the bottle, shook his
head and passed the bottle along. In
similar fashion the whisky was re-
fused by each member of the staff. and
in the middle of the table the bottle
stood, with it's scanty contents un-
touched while we ate our hardtack
and bacon.
ITO me that bottle has always told
a perfect story of the devotion and un-
and the members of his staff don't
remember any incident of the war that
more impressed me with the real ,un-
selfishness which desperate expert
ences develop in true military man
than this renunciation of the drink by
General Meade and his staff under con-
ditions that would have warranted
even a teetotaler in foregoing his
pledge"

Old Cannon Found Near Venice

A Rome correspondent informs us
that some very interesting discoveries
have been made in the course of ex-
cavation work around the island of
Ida at Venice, where a number of
ancient pieces of artillery have been
found beneath six feet of mud. says
the London Globe. The cannon are
all in a state of excellent preservation,
though it is clear from their construc-
ton that they must date back to a
period almost Immediately after the
discovery of gunpowder, and it is be-
lieved that they will prove of very
great artistic and historic value.

Another cargo of 1900 carcasses Of
mutton has arrived at Philadelphia
from Australia by way of England.
The meat will be sold to Philadelphia
dealers, who promptly disposed of the
first cargo. If the trade can be made
profitable by indirect shipment, it
ought to be far more so when the
opening of the Panama canal cuts
down the distance to the antipodes
and establishes direct trade. Then the
importation of Australian beef and
mutton may keep meats within reason
