LIKELY TO QUESTION
NAMING OF THORNTON
Appointment as Senator Re-
calls Case of Quay, Who
Was Refused Seat:

Gov. Sanders appointment OF Judge j.
r. Thornton as senator from Louisiana
probably will be questioned when Con-
gress convenes in December. In enect
the appointment was made to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the death CT SEN
ator McEnery. which occurred few
days after the adjournment Of Congress
last June. The Louisiana legislature was
in session at the time. and Gov. Sanders
was elected to succeed the deceased SEN
ator. Desiring. however. to devote his
energies to the proposed Panama canal
exposition in New Orleans. the governor
has resigned the ONCE OF senator. and as
governor has appointed Mr.. Thornton to
be senator.
Quay Case Recalled.
1t Is contended that the proceeding
violates the rule laid down In the Quay
case, which was that a governor OF
state has no power to make a temporary
appointment as senator to Ill a vacancy
which may have happened when the leg.
islature or the state was In session. Hav-
ing resigned while the Pennsylvania leg.
islature was in session. Mr.. Quay sought
reelection. Failing In this effort, he waf
given an appointment by the governor
BY majority OF one on a vote OF sixty
five Congress refused TO award the seat
TO him. The action was taken on a con-
struction Of the constitutional provision
that III vacancies happen. by reason
OF resignation or otherwise. during the
recess OF the legislature Of any state
the executive thereof may make tenn
porary appointments until the next meet
ing Of the legislature. which shall then
fill such vacancies"
Contention Of Some.
Inasmuch as the legislature was in ses-
sion when McEnery died, 1t is asserted
by some that under no circumstances
could the governor fill the vacancy.
Others argue, however. that this require
ment was met in the election Of Gov.
Sanders himself. There was no irregu-
larity in his election. they say, and, con-
tending that Sanders became senator
uron his election. they urge that the
present vacancy befell when he resigned,
which took place when the legislature
was not in session.
In this view of the subject the determi-
nation might depend upon the construc-
ton OF the question as to whether, under
the law, q senator-elect becomes q SEN
ator before he takes the oath Of ONCE.

EFFECT OF GOOD EXAMPLE
breaches on the Virtues Of Cleanli-
ness in Annual Reports-Reeom-
mends Teaching Of Swimming.

You cannot be healthy, or even
good. unless you are Clean" says ~ *.
McGonegal, inspector OF plumbing. who
breaches from this text a sermon In his
annual report TO the Commissioners,
submitted yesterday.
Mr.. McGonegal believes that the Dis
trict OF Columbia should provide %
many lighthouses. fully equipped with
hot water. soap and towels. that there
should be no excuse for a single dirty
face in the whole city. He tells the
Commissioners that Washington In many

list OF thirty-seven cities where free
baths are a part OF the city govern
ment.
Mr.. McGonegal says.
Convenient Shower Baths.
THE construction OF municipal bath
houses OF the shower-bath type should
not be confused with the movement for
the playground baths. inasmuch as the
public lighthouses is primarily for
adults. although children would be vel
come. They should be built in the most
congested centers. so that they can be
most easily accessible, whereas the
Fairgrounds are not generally iocateo
at available points for public bath
houses. There is at present no place
in Washington, outside OF the bathing
beach, which Is open only short time.
and is primarily an athletic institution.
where one may get bath free. or one
at reasonable prices"
Mr.. McGonegal believes that the pubic
example OF a public bathhouse would
hypnotize a good many non-bathers into
a state where they might be shamed
into taking a Lath occasionally. In his
report he tells the Commissioners:
Careless as to Bathing.
"It Is a known fact that some ped BE
are exceedingly careless In regard 70
bathing or keeping themselves clean:
this may be due 10 a lack OF bathing
facilities or gross careiessness. II these
persons could secure a public bath with
n walking distance. as well as shower
bath with plenty of good hot water
and soap without cost to themselves. the
IMMIGRATION, freedom from expense and
the proximity OF the building would
teach them bathing as a habit
Mr.. McGonegal also recommends thar
swimming be taught in the schools. and
that 5000 be used the first year In In

COMMISSION SUSPENDS
RATE CANCELLATIONS
Southwestern Railroads Are
Stopped in Efforts to In
crease Charges.

Radical action was taken by the inter
state commerce commission yesterday In
the suspension OF the new rates anu
charges filed by the Kansas City South
ern Railway Company. the Texarkana
and Fort Smith Railway Company and
the Arkansas Western Railway Com
pany against certain so-called "taplines'
connecting with these roads.
In accordance with tariffs filed by the
three lines named. joint routes and
through rates were Cancelled with the
tap lines In question.
All the tap lines transport lumber
from certain districts to junction points
on the through routes. Heretofore the
main lines have granted TO the tap lines"
the privilege Of making through and
joint rates to various points of destina-
ton In other states than that in which
the traffic originated.
The effect Of the cancellation Of the
through routes and joint rates is TO in
crease from to @ cents q hundred
pounds. the rates on shipments from
points on the tap lines to points in
mission that such an increase in rates
was unreasonable and discriminatory and
that, therefore the cancellation Of the
through routes and Joint rates ought prop
erly TO De suspended by the commission
until il could be determined whether the
cancellation was just or not.
Involves Over Hundred Lines.
The case involved 12O tap lines con-
Meeting with the main lines OF various
railroads In Arkansas. Missouri. Texas
and Louisiana-the yellow pine region OF
the United States
The advances made by these proposed
cancellations have been suspended by
the commission as against the defend
ants named. In carrying out this
principle the commission hereafter will
suspend such cancellations until IL has
had opportunity to inquire into the
justice and reasonableness OF the ac-
tions Of the main line roads
The tariffs suspended yesterday were
to have been effective on the 7th and
9Th instants. They have been suspend
ed until the 5th OF next January.
Meantime. such tariffs as may be
filed. canceling through routes and
joint rates with tap lines" probably
will be suspended by the commission
pending an inquiry. This inquiry will
be held during the next four months
by the commission.

ABANDON BURNING SHIP;

BOSTON, September 3.-Sixteen surviv-
ors Of the thirty-six men who comprised
the crew of the British steamer West
point which took fire and foundered when
four days out from Glasgow to Charles

steamer Devonian, which is tonight
steaming toward Boston.
The other twenty men, who were in

Sixteen Men Picked Up.
The Devonian. according to a dispatch
from St. Johns, n. F., tonight picked up
the men at $50 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, while in latitude 47:2O north. They
were in a terrible condition from hunger
and exposure. The sixteen men saved

wage-earner: a square deal for the EN-
ployer and a square deal for the general
public To obtain II we must have a
thoroughly efficient and well equipped
tariff commission.
The tariff ought to be a material issue
and not a moral issue: but IL instead oil
n square deal we get a crooked deal, then
1t becomes very emphatically moral Is
sue. What we desire in a tariff Is such 9
measure OF protection as viii equahze
the cost OF production here and abroad
and as the cost of production Is mainly
labor cost. this means primarily a tarin
sufficient TO make up for the difference III

Favors Tariff Commission.
As a means toward the attainment
OF its end in view we have as yet de-
vised nothing in any way as effective
as a tariff commission. There should
be a commission of well paid experts;
men who should not represent any In
dustry: who should be masters OF their
subjects; OF the very highest character.
and who should approach the matter
with absolute disregard of every outside
consideration. These men should take
up in succession each subject with wnich
the tariff deals and investigate the con-
ditions of production here and ABROAD.
they should find out the facts and not
merely accept the statements Of inter
ested parties: and they sh@ report
10 Congress on each subject a. soon as
that subject has been covered.
"Then action can be taken at once
on the particular subject concerned.
while the commission Immediately pro-
ceeds TO investigate another. BY these
means log-rolling would be avoided ana
each subject treated on its merits, while
there would be no such shock TO gen.
eral industry as is implied in the present
custom OF making sweeping changes In
the whole tariff at once.
Cites Massachusetts, Plan.
THE same principle OF a first-class out
side commission should be applied to river
and harbor legislation. At present river
and harbor bill. like a tariff bill, tends 10
be settled by a squabble among a lot of
big selfish interests and little selfish in
terests, with scant regard TO the one
really vital interest. that OF the general
public In this matter the national legis-
iature would do well to profit by the ex-
ample of Massachusetts,. Formerly Mas
sachusetts dealt with its land and harpor
legislation Just as at Washington tarin
and river and harbor laws have been deai'
with: and there was just the same pulling
and hauling the same bargaining and log
rolling. the same subordinauon OF tne
general interest to various special inter-
ests"

Presiding Judge
Not Appointed
Douglas County Jurists Hold Yearly
Session-Dockets Arranged, but
No Leader Named.

The Douglas county judges did not name
a presiding Judge at their regular yearly
session held Saturday morning to assign
dockets for 1910. Such an appointment was
discussed, but some of the judges desired
more time for consideration before adopt
ing the proposed plan.
Judge Estelle will take the criminal
branch with the opening of the new term,
and Judge Sutton will take the Estelle
docket and the juvenile court. Judges Day

an equity docket and the latter the law
docket OF Redick.
Judge Troup will hold court in Sarpy

against the calling of a grand jury, with
the result that by operation of law a grand
jury will be for February IA
His brothers of the bench wanted Judge
Estelle to continue to handle the juvenile
court, but he demurred. Then he was left

"JIM" HILL SHOWS FAITH,
IN NATIONAL CORN SHOW
Prize Grains and Grasses from Omaha
Exposition Are ON Exhibition
in 81. Paul.

James ]. Hill and L.. w, Hill are GER
tainly showing their appreciation of the
National Corn exposition. Their depart
ure from Omaha December 9 by no means
marked the close of their campaign Of
boosting" said Will A. Campbell, man
ager of the publicity work for the Com
mercial club of Omaha, who returned
from st. Paul Saturday.
Mr.. Hill has leased a big storeroom
with one entrance within twenty-five feet
Of the exit of the Union station in st.
Paul and the other entrance only two
doors from the Union station. In ;his
room the Hills nave collected all of the
exhibit which they had in Omaha, to-
gether with all the prize grains and
grasses at the National Corn exposition
which they could collect. The grains
which won the special Hill prizes are all
there and on each bundle hangs a prize
ribbon from Omaha.
ITO go into the room gives but one ex-
preston, See what we won at Omaha
and to win at the Natioral Corn exposition
is an honor to any country or state
"The attention Of thousands of land
seekers is attracted to this room by an
electric sign by night and one equally as
effective in the daytime. 1t draws any
one interested in things which grow, and
they are all given an opportunity to see
what won at Omaha
THE effect OF this piece of enterprise
on the part of the Great Northern can
only be to stimulate interest in the corn
show at Omaha. While in the room with
Mr.. Hill we heard a North Dakota man
remark If that peck OF oats won a prize,
1 will go down there next year and win
a thousand dollars"
Mr.. Campbell says the city ticket office
of the Great Northern in Minneapolis and
st. Paul are both hung with corn show
pictures, while the presidents office has
a collection scattered over a long table
in the center Of the room. He says the
Great Northern is becoming famous for
its boosting such enterprises as the corn
show and If the show is held in Omaha
again L. w. Hill and his distinguished
father can certainly be counted in on the
plans.
Mr.. Campbell went to st. Paul at Mr..
Hills invitation TO talk over the plans for
the agricultural and conservation congress
to be held in ST. Paul in March with
President l.. w Hill and Governor Eber-
hart of Minnesota.
Both Mr., Hill and the governor are
pushing the idea fostered at the Omaha
corn show, better farming, and are sup
plementing 1t by the most tireless work for
good country roads" said Mr.. Campbell.
