THE DYNAMITE HAB1r.

MGR may risk their lives by going
up in shaky airships. or by making
faces at champion prize fighters, but
there is TO excuse for the man who
carries dynamite around in his pocket.
This is what David Tut OF West Vir-
ginia did. II now they are trying to
put him together i'm a hospital by
gradually assembling the parts, and he
may ecoVer.
Tut carried two large sticks of the
explosive in his coat pocket when he
was hit by "a train. Being hit by a
train ought to furnish enough excite
mont for the ordinary Individual. but
Tut was evidently out to break the
record. which he did. as we'll as about
everything i'm sight.
The carrying about of dynamite in
pockets is Il habit and should be
crowned upon as a general rule. A
MAJ is apt to forget that he has a
pomb in his coat tail pocket n sit

and the habit of toting 1t about pro-
miscuously. should be le9islated
against. 1t is decidedly an European
sport. and has no place in America.

SPEAKER CLARK SILENT
Refuses to Discuss Bryan Attack on
Wool Schedule or Become Embroiled
in Party Feud-Underwood Active in
Furtheraneo Of Measure.

Washington. May 81. Speaker
Champ Clark today declined positively
to comment on the Bryan appeal to
the democrats not to masquerade"
under the guise Of a tariff for revenue
only In voting for the Underwood re-
vision Of the wool schedule. nor would
he discuss the reply to Mr.. Bryan last
night by the majority leader. The
speakers close friends, recognizing
that his present position is difficult,
have advised him against becoming
embroiled in the party feud.
Chairman Underwood, smarting un-
der the Bryan attack, is exerting every
effort now to insure two-thirds vote
of the democratic members Of the
committee at tomorrows caucus. The
new bill closely resembles the Wilson
bill except as to raw wool. the duty on
which is cut from the present rate Of
IL cents pound to about cents a
pound.

STRIKES AT MILEAGE GRAFT,
Bill Cuts Off 10 Cents a Mile Rate
Unnecessary Trips Taken.

Bill Cuts Off 10 Cents Mile Rate
Unnecessary Trips Taken.
Washington. May 31.-Representa-
tive Cox, Of Indiana. struck a blow at
what he calls the mileage graft" in the
war department. He introduced bill
in the house providing that in the fu-
ture army officers should be allowed
only actual travelling expenses, instead
Of the 10 cents per mile now paid them.
An army officer ordered from one
post to another purchases a ticket,
paying two or three cents mile, gem
orally. For example. he pays $3.50. for
ticket and berth from Washington to
Chicago, but receives $50, from the gov
ernment, and pockets the difference. In
addition he has his subsistence allow
ance. IA
According to Representative Cox, Of
ficers contrive to take .promotional ex-
aminations at some distant post, In
order to make the trip and incidental
profit They also go to distant posts,
he says, to take the three day riding
tests for the same reason.
The Indiana congressman says that
the year before the riding tests were
instituted the cost Of officers mileage
was $5e,Oo0. The next year It. was
$45o,000, and last year 1t was $3.50, 900.
