Especial to The Bulletin.)

Washington, March 23.-When MT. Higgins attention was called today to some of the Connecticut newspapers comments upon the recent happenings in the house, he said: Tt is not to be wondered at that there is confusion at home as we'll as elsewhere over the proceedings of last week in the house of representatives and the present sit nation there On Wednesday last voted to overr~ule the speakers de- cision that supplemental bill author fzing the taking of some additional data not provided for in the general census law was given such a consti- tutional privilege that f could dfsplace calendar Wednesday. The house rul- ed against the speaker upon this prop OS1tfon and refused to consider the bill at this time, though it passed the next day without opposition or a single neg ative vote.
 Reasons Given.
 Following this action MT. Norris high constitutional privilege an amend ment to the rules. Consideration of this was objected to on the ground that it presented no constitutional the speaker an appeal was taken to the house, which resulted in his decision again being overruled. I believe and do still believe that no high constitu- tional privilege attached to either prop osition, and for that reason voted in the negative on one prop osition to- overrule the speakers de- cision and upon the other to sustain it. The powers and privileges as express ed in the constitution are not to be held lightly by any one in govern ment such as ours, and much less by a representative sworn to support and defend it. The house of representa- tfves, to be an effective branch of our government, should not undertake to act when swayed by passion, pique or prejudice, or depart from that orderly deliberatfon which alone commands respect in any parliamentary body. No Special Obligation to the Speaker
 Recognized.
 T hold no brief either for the rules of the house, which are founded first on Jefferson's Manual, and are a growth and evolution of 121 years, to which both parties have contributed and both parties adopted, nor for the present speaker, who for tfirty-f1ve years has been 8 representative from the state of Illinois and for four sue cessive terms elected by the repub1i- can party speaker of the house. Nor do I recognize any especial obligation

FIRE INSURANCE ENQUIRY,
 MORE INTERESTING FACTS
Regarding Big Foes Of Albany Law
 yer William H.. Buckley.

New York, March 2s.-A1though Will liam H. Hotchkiss. the state super intendent of insurance. was still un
 able to gain positive proof that money was used to buy votes at Albany in fire insurance Legislation, he did de- Velop some interesting facts at to- days session of the inquiry in regard to the work of William H. Buckley. Buckley is an Albany lawyer who started practice in 1901. Three years later, according to testimony, he was getting well on toward $30,000 from insurance companies for his legal serv- ices. Before he was admitted to the bar, Buckley was connected with the state insurance department. From 1892 to 1896 he was a clerk in the department and then, until 1901, he was third deputy insurance superin-' tendent While he was deputy super intendent according to his own testi- mony today, he obtained three loans amounting to $61, ,00o from the Pehnix of which the late George P. Sheldon for years the executive agent of the fire insurance companies at Albany, was president. For just such loans his company several months ago. was indicted and died a broken man at Greenwich Conn, without ever having been brought to trial. Buckley found it profitable to represent the fire in- surance companies, but he testified to- day that he never appeared in court for them, never went before legislative committees, in fact, he couldn't re- member just what he did do. He could only say that in a general way he act ed as counsel for the companies and that he had kept no record whatever of any transaction. He was under annual retainer from several companies. In 1904 he received between s25,000 and 1000, of which about 5000 was from the foreign insurance companies, according to evidence produced. He also received various large sums from the domestic concerns. This was in the year that the Grady reinsurance bill which benefited foreign re-insur- ance companies by reducing the amount of their reserves, was passed. The domestic companies were oppos- ing the bill and MT. Hotchkiss asked the witness if he was getting money from both sides. MT. Buckley had no opinion on that subject He would not even admit that any of the money paid to him was in connection with the bill. He said he knew little about the bill and when Mir. Hotchkiss asked him if he had paid any money to legisla- tors he said: That's absurd; no, sir"
 Preceding Buckley, Carl Schreiner, United States manager of the Munich reinsurance company and Carl Stur- hahn, American manager of the Rus sia insurance company, were on the stand. They told of payments to Buckley by their companies of vari- ouS sums during a number of years

The Great American Hen.

This is the joyous season when men tell each other: There is money in hens. It must be true There has been a lot of it put there that no man has succeeded in getting out-s Poultry raising is not unlike other speculative industries. Those who actually do the work pay the price and credit the cost to experience or recreation. Those who stimulate the sport and tell tales of fortunes made from poultry get the profits. A wise old man of our ac- quaintance summed it up in this quaint and forceful phrase: Them as can does, them as can't teaches"
 The point has been reached where the poultry teaching industry Is ap- parent1y as great, and more profitable. than the actual one of raising hens. The latest scheme comes out of the west. It is a national poultry institute with big buildings and bigger capital, if the claims can be relied on, and it will for a sufficient consideration put you wise"-in the language of the day ito the art of getting fifty cents worth of eggs from a dollars worth of grain. This Is the perfect flower. or rather feather, of the correspondence school scheme.-Bristo1 Press.

leaning in China toward the success
fui Japs, who are not only progressive
at home, but who have had much TO
do with the awakening of the Flowery
Kingdom.
I'VE have had many Japanese pro-
fessors of law in China" SAYS Justice
Ahlo, "and their efforts nave influenced
the embodiment of their laws in our
own code" The recodifcation of the
Chinese laws has been going on for
several years, and foreign ideas are
being adopted, but, of course, the ten
deney is to make as much use as pos
sible of japanese IDEAS, since they are
best adapted to Oriental development
Justice Ahlo lays stress on the point

STREET CAR FIGHT ONLY
HALF WON.

While the people of Washington may
congratulate themselves on the victory
over the Capital Traction Company in
the fight for comfortable street cars,
they should not-and viii not-forget
that their battle is but half won. The
Washington Railway and Eiestric Com
PAW still stands stubbo-=ly against
public opinion; it goes right ahead

in both winter and summer.

what they want.
The cars are equipped with cross

Washington is almost universal. They

LET'S BEGIN AT THE BOTTOM
AND WORK UP.

That anyone in the District of Co
lumbia should be concerned at this time
over the issue of co-education and sex
segregation in the high schools is al
most ineOnceiyable.
Segregation would mean separate
buildings for boys and for girls, with
additional expense for sites, buildings,
maintenance, and administration.
Right now our grade schools are shy
on dictionaries. On Thursday of this
week the superintendent found he need
ed thirty-three dictionaries for class
rooms that had none. He could obtain
but five.
The explanation of this condition is
that the appropriation for reference
books is not sufficient to provide
enough dictionaries 20 go around.
Until we have provided the children
of the lower grades of our school sys-
TEN with the essential equipment for
acquiring a rudimentary education let's
not waste any time discussing the
theories of sex segregation.

MOTHERS OF DISTRICT IN
TERESTED, TOO.

Every mother in Washington surely
knows, by this time, what the public
playground means to her children.
It means that they are provided with
a place to FAY.
1t means they can play without
danger of being run down by vehicles
or mistreated by older children.
Il means they can get out of doors
and indulge in enjoyable recreation
beneficial to their health
1t means that their play is super
vised and that their morals will not
suffer from contact with evil.
1t means that while they are away
from home their mother can be free
from worry over them.
Mothers, as well as fathers, can help

critical period in the Fairgrounds his
