Clark streets, and e. w. Whittemore
Of 514 North Sixth street, were the
victims Of evidently the same burg
lars.
After taking supper away from
home last evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Graham returned home about 8 d. m.
to find the rear doors and the pantry
and west bedroom windows thrown
open. The interior gave evidences of
complete ransacking. Drawers and
closets were opened, but valuable
jewery and silverware were left I'M
touched with the exception of three
plain gold rings and three pairs of
spectacles. Evidently the intruders
were after money, but none had been
left in the house. Entrance was
effected through the bedroom win
dow and a footprint was visabie on
the floor. Patrolmen Dunaway and
Kirk and Police Sergeant Cross were
called and conducted a search about
the premises. The city's blood
hounds were not available as they
were out of the city and we're not
returned until today.

Washington, Dec. Congress re-
sumed today the labor of saving the
lcountry. Three ElOl.ths VII be spent
in passing a few more OF the $4,000
bills introduced in the two preced-
ing sessions. There will be much
maneuvering for party advantage
and several presidential booms will
be advanced, as occasion permits. As
the session will mark The loss of con-
troll of the house by Republicans. the
latter are expected TO crowd through
bills in which they have special in
|terest and to be energetic in efforts
to get liberal appropriations for
home projects.
Two new questions that will test
the fighting qualities of the legisla-
ture concern the establishment of
central bank and the aportionment
of the country's population among
representatives in congress.
Senator Aldrich, (Rep., r. 10
chairman of the national monetary
commission. composed of members
and ex-members OF congress, is the
leader IN central bank movement. He
nolds that the supreme remedy for
the cure Of the ills OF the eountry's
currency system is central bank,
such as Is at the head of the finan-
cial world in England and in France.
A bank Of that kind in the United
States would control the issue of
currency and have other important
powers.
In official circles here the report
is persistent that Aldrich win try to
drive a bill embodying his idea
through the present congress. He is
credited with the opinion that, with
Republicans in control. the present
congress offers a chance, perhaps
only a desperate one. for the passage
of the bill. With the Democrats
holding the next house, the chance
would be slight If there be any at
all. 'sal8hW
Objection to the bill which will be
pressed to the limit. will have the
backing of scores of senator's and
representatives Their contention is
that conditions in this country are so
different from those in Europe that
the English and French schemes
would be impracticable.
Apportionment is matter of
politics. II can be used to have an

During the past 10 years the house
has had 391 members. each rep
resenting 193.167 people. In the
preceding 10 years there were $3.50
congressmen, each representing
