WASHINGTON EXCITED
OVER fight IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, March IS, 2:3J
a. m.-Congress is still in session, af-
ter a wild night of political battle, in
which the Republican insurgents and
the Democrats repeatedly defeated
the Cannon regular Republican
forces.
At 2:90 this morning, in an effort to
gain time, the Republicans moved an
adjournment It was their third eff
fort to adjourn, and it was defeated.
Hurry up calls had been sent by wire
to New York and Philadelphia to get
absent members into the chamber, and
the debate continues, with Republic
ans sending messages in every direc-
ton to get together enough regulars
to at least forse an adjournment.
Speaker Cannon left the chair and
, took the floor in defense of his own
actions.
News of the great political battle
spread about the city and the galleries
of Congress were quickly damned
with spectators.
At this time the Cannonites are
fighting only for time. Their efforts
to cause an adjournment having fail
ed, they are seeking to delay matters
until they can call in more regulars

ROOSEVELT WILL LIKELY FOOL

Promptly upon arriving at Condo

touch with politics for full ten months,
chasing the antelope over the plain
and making life uncertain for many
of the beasts of Africa, but here was
q request for an opinion right away
about all that had taken place in the
world at large during his absence. Mr..
Roosevelt must have said to himself,
"This, indeed, is like old times am
again within the bounds of civiliza-

The mighty hunter asked for an
opportunity to "read up" He had no
information upon which to base an
opinion. Clearly, then, the reporter
must see him later. After he has shed
his hunting toggery, laid his gun aside
washed up" and consulted the news
paper files, he will be in position to
talk politics. But not before.
Here is a small sample of the i'm
patience Mr.. Roosevelt will meet with
as he approaches home. A hundred
inquisitors, with pads and pencils In
hand, will surround him and demand

GOOD WORK DONE REFORMING FELONS

SAN FRANCISCO, March 7-Maude
Darlington Booth lectured at the First
Presbyterian Church last night to a
big crowd on the work in which she
has been engaged for the past IF
teen years-the reclamation of the
felon in and out of prison. She spoke
of the reform in public sentiment with
reference to this department of hui
.manitarian effort. In many states, she
said, sweeping reforms have been in
augurated in the management of the
criminals and prisons. Laws have
been enacted doing away with long
sentences. The lockstep, stripes, the
strait jacket and solitary confine-
ment have p5en abolished in many
penitentiaries
The foundation and the object of
all prison reform must be the reform
of the criminal himself, urged the
speaker. Her lecture was interspers-
ed with anecdotes of her personal ex-
Iperience in this branch of work, and
she told many pathetic stories of men
and women in whom all hope had
died and who had been transformed
into honest people because they had
felt the pressure of the helping hand
and their hearts had been melted by
unwonted and unexpected sympathy

One of these anecdotes was of a
French girl of 16 years who had been
brought from France by man who
exercised an unholy control over her.
She was dragged into the ways of
crime and was sent to the penitentiary
for five years. Through Mrs Booths
efforts the girl was paroled, and pro-
vided with a Christian home where,
out of the evil environment in which
she had. lived she became a faithful,
industrious, virtuous member of So
ciety.

Again Mr.. Roosevelt will have to
ask for time. He will not be ready
for the importunate interviewers. He
will probably have heard in general
terms about how this American world
has been wagging in his absence, but
will not be prepared at that time to
go on record as to his plans. He will
want fuller particulars as to politics
in particular before discussing men
and measures up to date.
But who believes that Mr.. Roosevelt
is going to fall under the spell of fiat
terers and undertake to play the game
of the anti-Taft Republicans? What
warrant is there either in his past, or
in what has taken place since he left
home, for the assumption that he can
be used to make war on a man for
whom he has expressed the highest
admiration, and whose political for
tunes he has vigorously supported -

PITCHED BATTLE
WITH DESPERADOES
safebIowers and Citizens Exchange
Shots and the Robbers Were
Landed in Jail.

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 10 Safeblow-

battle In the village of Hutchins, ten
miles south of Dallas, about $3.50
o'clock Sunday morning. Although no
one was hit by the bullets, the two
self-confessed dynamiters are prison
ers in the Dallas Jail. An explosion at
the hour indicated caused armed cil'
zens to hurry to the mercantile and
banking house of the Samuel Ayres
Company.
The two robbers were discovered
escaping through back door. Inc
citizens opened fire, and the SHOTS
were returned. AS the robbers ran
they stumbled and fell They were
pressed SO closely as they rose that
thew could not recover their pistols or
their hats, which had fallen, and these
were captured by the citizens. Ine
craftsmen escaped in the darkness.
Word was telephoned to the Dallas
Police Department and lookouts were
posted. At daylight two bareheaded
men, hurrying toward the city along
the right of way Of the Houston ana
Texas Central railroad, were made
prisoners one mile south OF Dallas.

Colonial theatre last evening which
could not be avoided by the manage

ance of the first and second perform
ances. A screw from the sprocket of
the moving picture machine dropped
out and was lost. The picture ma
chine refused to work successfully
and the second performance also had
to be abandoned. The people present
were refunded their money.
This little accident could not be
helped, but nevertheless is greatly re-
GREETED by the management. The ma
chine is the best that money can buy,
but a small accident like the one
which happened on Sunday evening
could not be averted. The machine
today worked fine and the manage
ment would be pleased if the people
who have tickets would come this
evening and witness the excellent
bill.
