time, and his accounts balanced With
things all his own way politically, he
went wrong.
Henry Moore, a young man who
would rather have cut off his right
hand than do wrong. shows up at
the end of his third year in
Office defaulter to the amount
of $4,000. The cause is not
far to seek. He was so kind to all
and thought the whole world honest
that he was betrayed by his friends.
No city employe went to Clerk Moore
needing money but he got it. During
his last year conditions were SO siren
uous that Henry Moore lost his mind
in large degree. Money was paid
out on the instructions of his superb
ors with no record made of it. Care
less bookkeeping was the result of
over-work and blind confidence in his
superiors. Three years in an office
in which vast sums of money were
handled, to man who had never had
to exceed $50 month, was too much
for Henry Moore. He is stigmatized
as defaulter. He goes out of Office
not only failure but defaulter,
carrying to ruin his honest brothers
and sisters, and becomes physical
wreck. No man who knows Henry
Moore will accuse him of intentional
dishonesty

The reporting of the bill insures
that it will be taken up by the house
at early date, and according to the
claims of both republicans and demo-
Gratis, will pass the house. If it be-
comes a law it will apply to the con-
gressioral elections this fall.
The bill makes it mandatory for the
treasurer of every political committee
within any congressional campaign
where two or more states are affected
to file not more than Is days nor less
than ten days before an election with
the clerk of the house of representa-
tives a complete detailed statement of

also file within 80 days following the
election a sworn statement. The state
ment must contain the names of the
donors and amounts given in cases
where more than 500 is given. In
cases of less than that amount, the
aggregate must be furnished. In the
case of expenses the names of persons
to whom money is paid must be given
in all cases where the amount exceeds
$40 and in cases of amounts less than
that amount the aggregate must be
published The penalty provided for
a violation of the law is fine of not
more than $1,000 or Imprisonment for
one year, or both.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA
An unwritten law of the house says
that no one shall be recognized to make
the motion to adjourn except the re-
publican floor leader or the chairman
of the bill under consideration.
1t was calendar Wednesday and sew
eral committees were on call. So no
particular committee had the day in
charge. The house had been pounding
along all day, considering small bills.
Five o'clock rolled around; the speak
er, who had been in the chair all day

and nearly everyone in the house
wanted to go home.
Cannon looked at Payne. But the
republican floor leader was sleeping

dozes during sessions Of the house. The
speaker sent a page to wake HIM up

It's famous painting "The Shepherd and
Flock, valued at $4,000, was stolen
from the art museum in Golden Gate
park this morning at about 1918
o'clock.
No one saw the daring thief remove
the world renowned canvas. The po-
lice are without the slightest clue in
the case. Great excitement prevailed
when it became known that the mas
terpiece had ben carried away. The
news was telephoned to all the local
clubs and the theft was the topic or
conversation in cafes and the places
of amusement during the day.
The painting is the property of Miss
Sarah M. Spooner of this city, who is
now travelling in Europe. 1t was pur-
chased by her from t. D. Trimon, of

Iron and Steel
Business Active

NEW YORK, March 13.-There was
a fair volume Of business in finished
steel products last week and the pros
pect is favorable for greater activity.
The railroads are developing larger
orders for equipment and the slightly
lower prices prevailing for plain
structural material and fabricated
steel is bringing out larger for rail-
roads, equipment shops and contrac-
tors.
Orders for rails aggregated $4,000
tons. Although new orders for rail-
road cars were less than 1000, a dis
tribution of 10000 cars to be made
this week and inquiries in the mar
ket for $4,000 and $4,000 additional
are in a tentative state. The same is
true Of locomotives; new orders were
placed for only 70, but there are in
quiries for about 1900, about half of
which are definitely in the market.
Contracts for fabricated steel for
buildings and bridges aggregated 25,-
600 tons.
Railroads and car shops placed ad-
ditional orders for steel plates, shapes
and bars aggregating about 10000
tons for car underframes. Similar
contracts are pending for larger ton
nages as well as for car wheels and
axles.
Contracts for pig iron We're light.

When one of the bills was finished,

this:
'Mr. Speaker, the bill is a very COM
plicated one and will need explana-
ton. 1t is late. 1 move that the house

When Payne awoke, little while
later, and learned that the house had
adjourned without his assistance, he
was roaring mad. What right had they
to adjourn the house anyway without
his motion. He went to the speakers

Bold Thief Steals
A Rare Work of Art

Francis Daubigny.
The police are undecided as to
whether the theft of the painting is an
act of vandalism or the result of well
laid plan to steal the remarkable Mil
let work and place it upon. the market
again at some future time through the
r,edium of a European fence" De-
tectives have been detailed on the
case.
Alexander Lawson, the curator Of
the museum, states that shortly be-
fore the theft was discovered he saw
a rather shabbily dressed man about
five feet ten inches in height carrying
a bundle from the institution, but in
the crowd that was visiting the hall at
the time he attached no Importance to
the departure of the man.
The painting was insured against
fire for $4,000, but there was no in
surance against theft.
1t is inconceivable how the thief
managed to accomplish the deed. The
picture hung with others in a large
room and there were people constantly
passing along the corridor.

tors will speak on the railroad bill and
there will be many speeches from the
democratic side No one estimates
that the debate will be finished in less
than six weeks. and some senators
predict that much more time Will be
consumed.
An effort will be made by the house
committee on interstate commerce to
report the bill this week. and it is
probable that debate on the same sub
iect y,ll proceed simultaneously at
both ends of the capitol.
Statehood legislation, which has
pa.sed the house, and postal savings
bank legislation, which has passed the
senate. have been side-tracked for the
administration railroad bill. The pos
tai ark bill, as hearings have been
lCr6ertd by the house committee on
postofices AMI post roads, will not
reach the floor for several weeks, and
in all probable ] not until the session
nears the close.
Regardless CT the fact that the pos
tai bank bill, the antiinjunction meas
ure, statehood legislation and the adj
ministratiOn conservation measures are
all a part of the administration pro-
gram, there is not apparent anywhere
a positive force pushing them for con-
sheraton If the debate on the rail-
road bill lags, it may require a presi-
Dental message to instill life in the
other features of the program.
Sharp Arguments Pending.
In the house many matters are pend
ing that will call out sharp debate and
there is a disposition to let some of
them 60 by the board. These include
the Nondell Lii to permit the home
stead entry Of the surface of coal
lands, which would involve 30,oO0,0O0
acres. Ship subsidy; the construction
of two battleships which may be a
feature of the naval bill, and the is
suance of certificates of Indebtedness
or bonds to the amount of $30,000,00O
to complete reclamation projects.
Polls are being taken on the ques-
ton OF making appropriations to con-
struct battleships and the question of
i anti-inj junction legislation along the
lire OF the Moon bill The prelimi-
uary count is said to be opposed to the
battlcships, but the attitude Of tho
house on the Moon bill has not been
disclosed.

Measures to
Be Different

WASHINGTON, Mar 13.-Althougn
identical, when introduced in the two
houses of congress, it is now evident
that the measures to create court of
commerce and to amend the interstate
commerce law, will bear no resemb-
lance to each other when the delibera-
tons Of the two bodies are concluded.
In the house committee many of the
administration theories of the issuing
of stocks and bonds and the merging
of nom competing lines have been shat
tered and the end is not in sight, for
assaults on the bill will continue OH
the floor.
While the opposition to the admin
istratiOn bill was not strong enough
to amend the bill in the senate it is
conceded that several important
changes will be forced on the floor
The debate on the bill will begin
either tomorrow or Tuesday Senator
Cummins will open the discussion in
support of certain changes advocated
in the minority report of the senate
committee.
