SESSION IN HOUSE
 HOLDS ALL NIGHT

Washington, March 1S.-At 2 o'clock this morning the House by a vote of 1a4 to 1S5 defeated for the third time A mo- ton to recess until 11:55 a. m. The stub born filibuster of the republican regulars was resumed against consideration of the resolution of Representative Norris of Nebraska providing for the reorganization of the committee on rules. eliminating the speaker
 The moment the vote was announced and the obstinate test of endurance be- gan again, the democrats renewed their cries of rule rule"
 MT. Smith. republican. of Iowa and a member of the committee on rules took up the dreary debate. This was soon after q. m. with no end in sight.
 Later it was found that an error had been made in the count and that there had really been a majority of seven against recess
 The Iowa member concluded and MT. Tawney raised the point of order that there was mo quorum"
 MT. Underwood of Alabama moved a call of the House. The call was ordered.
 It was generally understood at 2:30 a. r that the regulars had broken the quorum deliberately and were gone for the night At that hour the prospect was that nothing further could be done before morning.
 The roll call showed only 154 present, less than quorum. and MT. Underwood, democrat. of Alabama moved that the sergeant-at-arm find and arrest the ab- sentees and bring them before the bar of the House. The motion was carried, and the search was begun.

SWINDLING CASE
 IS NEARING END

| Council Bluffs, Ia., March T.-There
 was every evidence, when Judge Me-
 Pherson of the federal district court an-
 nounced a recess late this afternoon un- til 7:aO o'clock tonight, that the trial of lJ. c. Maybray and his associates for alleged wholesale swindling operations
 was nearing the end !
 The government rested just before 5
 o'clock, and counsel for the defense in- timated that no evidence would be of fered by the other side. Although Col.
 M. l.. Temple, the district attorney, stated last night that the governments case would be concluded at 10 o'clock today, nothing of that kind occurred, and all day long new witnesses were called to the stand to add to the testimony al- ready given and produce documents to connect up the various defendants with some specific allegation made in the in- dictments.
 About 150 of the exhibits were admitted and the afternoon was taken LID largely with their presentation. The monotony of this tedious work was relieved. how ever, just before adjournment, by the calling of John H. Sizer of King William county, Virginia, a lumber merchant, who said he had travelled 5000 miles to lose a wager of considerable size on q horse race in which Willard Powell, one of the defendants, was the jockey. Sizer declared Powell, who was his jockey, deliberately took me down the chutes and cleaned me for $s5OO.'
 It was a tragic thing for me-" he added, and once 1t looked like might have to walk back to Virginia
 Just before the evening recess Judge by agreement of counsel for both sides directed verdict of not guilty against J. H. Beath of Jackson vile, Fla. Colonel Temple stated that desired evidence was not available fin Beath's case.

 Governor Hughes said he had tried to do his duty in showing where evil ex- isted and suggested remedies.
 ''We have had recent examples of breaches of trust, it is true,' he asserted, but we are more honorable today in our standards of business and public life than ever before in the history of the country. The time Is not far distant when We can insist on impartiality and fairness in every department of government. The man with a hook has seen his last days"

American Meat Packers association hand
 icapped the investigation committee to- day in its efforts to learn the reasons
 Tor the high price of meats from Charles H. Rohe of New York, who is president of the association. MT. Rohe said the organization consisted of 25 packers in- cluding Armour Swift, Nelson Morris &
 Co.,, and Cuhady and that it represented 90 per cent of the meat production of the country. Meetings were held annually for the purpose of discussing meat in- spection and the protection of trade, the witness said but prices were never discussed. He denied the existence of any agreement among the packers as to prices and declared all the members were competitors.
 Senator Shoot read from the associa- tion's minutes statements of F. R. Ryan of Cincinnati, the first president of the association, in his speech at the meet ing at which the organization was ef- fected in Chicago in 1906 Ryan referred to this as ''the age of concentration" and urged the necessity of unanimity among the packers. He said that the workmen backed by the unions demand the highest wages and that too much of the profits went to the stock yards.
 He intimated that one of the purposes of the association was to secure flair price, for all.
 Have any of these matters been dis cussed by the association at any of it's meetings since?" inquired Chairman Lodge.
 "No," replied the witness.
 "Then the purpose of the association has been merely social amelioration and meat inspection?" inquired Senator Craw- ford.
 The witness replied that meat inspection and kindred matters were the only things discussed at the meetings, but he did not remember anything in particular.
 You do hot expect the public to be- | lieve that?' Senator Clark snapped out of Arkansas.
 The witness made no direct reply on | the interrogation.

Cheering Her Up a Bit

From Uncle Remus' Home Magazine
 A young lady living in Atlanta visited the home of her fiance in New Orleans. On her return home an old negro man. my, long in the service of the family. and consequently privileged to put the question, asked:
 Honey. when is you goin to git mar ried?"
 The engagement not having been an- nounced, the Atlanta girl smilingly re- piled:
 Indeed, I can't say, auntie. Perhaps shall never marry"
 The old woman's jaw fell.
 'Ain't dat a pity. now." she calculated. and, after reflection, she added, consol- ingly: 'Dey do say dat ole maids is de happiest critters dey is, once dey quit struggln'."

BILL TO PROHIBIT
 KILLING OF SEALS

Washington, March 1.-The reference of bill prohibiting the killing of seals on and adjacent to Pribyloff islands, in the Pacific, precipitated a heated debate in the Senate today, during which Sem ator Root vigorously objected to the matter going to the committee on con- servation of natural resources. Mir Root said negotiations with Great Britain were
 in progress at present which rendered 1t most important that the foreign affairs committee which has had the subject in hand should continue, to exercise its su- pervision.
 we are face to face with a certain fact" said MT. Root. That is, the de- struction of the seal herds The only way to end 1t is by international nego- tiations and agreement"

The Way to Read.

From the March Atlantic.
 It was Oliver Wendell Holmes, was it not, who owned up to his preference for
 reading in books to reading through them? When I set out to read through book" the autocrat wrote 1T always felt that I had task before me, but when I read in book 1t was the page or the paragraph that wanted, and which left It's impression and became a part of my intellectual furniture" If we were only franker. most of us would confess to being like Holmes in this mat ter of our reading. To be sure, we have an oldfashioned disinclination to set down a book in the middle of it; we feel it our duty to finish whatever we have once begun at the beginning; yet if we yield to our New England conscience herein. we are only deterred from begin ming very many books. And by begin ning'' books I mean neither reading straight through their tedious opening pages, nor hastening, like a woman, to learn by the concluding chapter how it all turns out" Open your book in the very thick of it; that is theAtrue way of getting at its soul.

Well, there is no use grumbling about 1t.
 Theodore Breitenstein was just too strong, that's all.
 Had the Barons played poorly there might be excuse for flaw picking. But the team played well. Not an error was made. There was plenty of snap, plenty of vim, much pepper and a world of speed.
 Breitenstein outpitched stockdale, true enough.
 But while Mathewson might have pre- vented a Pelican run, he could not have defeated Franks team without his sup port getting about the bases at least once.
 And then 1t was to be expected that the Pelicans would win the series.
 Of course we hoped. But hope is built And like dreams, hopes are often very unreliable.
 And at that Birmingham is not out of the race.
 They will begin treading primrose path tomorrow.
 After series of storms it is exceeding Iy pleasant to be lowed into a port of marked serenity. and there doze in the sun
 All of which is preliminary to the state ment that Montgomery is coming.
