Columbia, Feb. 19.-Ashley and
Rucker had lively tilt over the res
olution for the purchase of new desks
for the house, spat being over Ash
ley's amendment forbidding the use
of the hall for the State ball. The
amendment was lost 54 to 32 Ashley
was the only one who spoke for It.
The resolution was passed.
The general assembly will adjourn
sine die late tonight.
The mileage book bill is dead by
disagreement.
The house was in a dramatic situ-
alton at 2:30 o'clock. The bill to fix
5-mile base for intra-State freight
rates was reported by substitute from
free conference recommending 5-mile
base with competitive points exempt
ed. A former railroad commissioner
refused to sign the report and after a
sharp debate the report was rejected
by one vote. Mr.. Dixon raised the
point Of no quorum and the sergeant
alarms was sent out to arrest mem
bers. AS many had left the city there
is no saying how long the house will
be locked up.
The mileage book bill is dead by
disagreement in free conference.
The public utilities bill, prohibiting
state commission regulating light
gas and water rates is safe. Charles
ton, Spartanburg, Union, Conway,
Sumter and Marion being exempted.
Finally an agreement was reached
in the free conference committee on
the mileage book proposition. The
committee recommendation is a legis-
lative joke: the railroads are allowed
to make any contract they want after
being required to sell books good on
trains, and then permission is given
them, If they want it, to sell books
good on their own lines at any legal
rate up to three cents a mile.
FINELY enough member-prisoners
were brought in to make q quorum.
The report was rejected by vote CT
35 to "a and the bill was killed.

Chicago Women's Clubs Start Move
ment to Support Worthy Plays.
Members Of forty-one women's clubs
in and near Chicago organized the 9th
er day the Drama League Of America,
by which it is proposed to create a
dramatic renaissance nation wide in
its scope April 25 was set for the
completion Of the league, and call
was issued for workers in every state
in the Union. The purpose as set forth
in the call is to make educated audi
ences for the support of the managers
in the production of good plays. The
call says:
We no longer pirate about the posi-
bilities of a renaissance of the drama;
we believe it is at hand. From every
part of the country has come to us
news of an awakening on the part Of
the public toward the art of the drama
All that is needed now is the turning
of all of these streams Of influence into
one deep channel With such mighty
torrent of public opinion using its pow
er for worthy plays and better stage
conditions surely the theater in Amer
lea will receive practical benefit"
Mrs. A. Starr Best was elected tenn

New York city. The idea of accepting
the position did not appeal to Mr..
Hughes, as he had always kept to a
strictly private practice.
In this gas investigation Hughes set
new standard for work of the kind.
His grasp of technical detail was amaz-
ing to the specially trained men who
represented the gas companies, and his
ability to extract facts essential to
the commission was extraordinary.
Famed as an Investigator.
So thorough was his work in the gas
investigation that he was generally re-
garded as the only candidate when the
Armstrong commission met to choose
counsel for the insurance inyestiga-
ton. Mr.. Hughes conducted the in
vestigation Of the insurance companies
with the same exactitude of detail that
had characterized his work in the gas
investigation and left the state stag
gered by the results accomplished.
By the time Mr.. Hughes had con-
Quoted the gas and insurance investi-
cations his fame as an investigator
had spread abroad, and Attorney Gen
eral Moody appointed him counsel for
the federal investigation into the BUSH
ness of the coal carrying railroads
with relation to their ownership of
coal properties. The appointment was
offered to Mr.. Hughes and Alexander
Simpson, Jr., and this work was as
thorough as that Of Mr.. Hughes in the
gas and insurance investigations. Then
came the nomination that led to Mr.
Hughes election as governor of New
York in 1906.
Mr.. Hughes gets his powers Of en-
durance primarily from an ancestry
of Welsh, Scotch and Irish His IA
ther came Of Welsh and Scotch stock
and his mother of Scotch and Irish.
He has developed the heritage. how
ever, by the practice Of a theory in
which he is a firm believer. He holds
that under the right conditions man
cannot overwork his brain. He says a
well organized and developed brain is
like the muscle of a highly trained
athlete, which is only bettered by con
slant hard work Exercise the BRAIN
is one of his maxims, and he lives up
to it.
Governor Hughes married in 1888
Miss Antoinette Carter of Delhi N. Y
He has three children. Golf and
mountain climbing are his fayorite
sports.

interpreter of higher mathematics for
his fellow students.
Governor Hughes took up the study
of law while student at Brown uni
versity After leaving Brown Mr..
Hughes became a teacher at Delhi,
N. Y, and between the hours when he
was teaching Greek and mathematics
studied law at an office there. AS a
clerk he took particular delight in illu-
minating the accounts Of observation
that fell to his lot, and in the early
years of his practice it was frequently
his habit to seek amusement in sOlv-s
ing mathematical REFUSES and puzzles
and in inventing and solving problems.
After a year at Delhi Mr.. Hughes
decided that the only proper place to
study law was at law school, and he
entered the Columbia Law school in
1882 at the age of twenty. Two years
later he. was graduated, taking a fell
lowship in his senior year, which en-
titled him to conduct a quiz for three
years at a salary of $500 a year. This
was Of great assistance to the embryo
lawyer, just at the threshold of his ca
reer, and he also conducted private
quiz on his own account at the same
time while he was getting started in
law office.
Mr. Hughes first had desk in the
law Office of General Stewart L. Wood
ford who was then United States at
torney, and a short time later entered
the law Office of Chamberlain, Carter
& Hornblower of New York city.
His First Case.
While clerk with this firm Mr..
Hughes got his first case and after
twelve months Of hard work won de
cision, but no great financial reward.
It was shortly after this, In 1887, that
he became member Of the firm which
was then known as Carter, Hughes &
Cravath.
Mr.. Hughes had always had a strong
inclination toward teaching, and In
1891 he became "a memberaof the. law
faculty Of Cornell university, remain
ing there for two years. He then re-
entered the law firm and in 1905 be-
came the active head, Mr.. Carter hav-
ing=died, of Hughes, Rounds & Schur-
man. . III sss
1t was in this same year that Mr..
Hughes first came prominently into
the public eye, when he was made
