Arrest EIODinr Pair.

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. Some ex-
element was caused on the steamboat
from Eastern Md, at Baltimore yester-
day morning when, just as the boat
locked, clergyman ordered the arrest
OF Mrs. Edith Higgins and Milton
Knox, both about 2S years old.
The clergyman explained to the pc,
lice that the woman was the wife OF
James Higgins, Of Oak Hill, Talbot
county, and had deserted her husband
and two children. At the police station
the matron OF a mission asked for the
custody of the recrcant wife, saying a
reconciliation with her husband could
be effected.
Mrs. Higgins admitted to Police Cap
tain Cole that she had become infatu-
ated with Knox, that they had met
clandestinely and had attended revival
meetings together. She said she had
tired OF life in the country and had
come with Knox to live in Baltimore.
Captain Cole lectured both. The man
then went his way, and the woman
went with the matron, who will bring
about reconciliation with the hus-
band.

HE KISSED OLD WOMEN.

When DR.. Jonathan i. Black, OF
Cleveland, o., went a-kissing he did it
with some purpose. He admits that
most of his kisses were bestowed upon
old women, but he points to bank
account of moro than $50, 900 as eyi-
deuce that it was good business.
The heirs OF Mrs. Rebecca Lord,
who died last February, are contesting
her will, which bequeaths most OF her
estate, amounting to $50, O00, to DR..
Black. On the witness stand yesterday
the doctor testified that in the last ten
years he had kissed ut least u dozen
women, most of them old enough to be
his grandmother.
The doctor declared he had written
letters to her almost daily. Seven years
ago, he said, he gave up good practice
in Cambridge, Mass, and went to
Cleveland.
The doctor testified to having kissed
Mrs. Harriet M. Jennings in Cam
bridge, Mass, and sue witfed him $500.

SIXTY.FIRST CONGRESS.
SENATE
The Senate was not in session today:
HOUSE.
THIRD SESSION
SENATE


HOUSE.
The grinding legislative mills OF the
House received y frenzied impetus to-
day-the beginning OF whirlwind
rush that will continue from now until
the end of the session. The House
leaders determined that business must
be hurried on the floor and they en-
forced the attendance OF quorum.
When the legislative day began with
only fifty members on the floor, the
republican whip made q point of no
quorum. From committee rooms,
private Offices and corridors the laggard
statesmen came, hurried by the belief
that something extraordinary had hap
pened when the call OF the House be-
gan. They were met in the floor cor
ridors by Mr.. Dwight and his assistants
who gave them to understand that they
will have to be on hand on the floor
for the rest of the session. When the
call finished, with some $50 members
on hand, the House proceeded to the
unfinished legislative, executive and ju-
dical appropriation bill.
The means with which the American
government may protect itself against
foreign shipping trusts is provided in a
bill introduced in the House this after
noon by Mr.. Humphrey.
The bill is introduced to cover q de-
fciency in tho present antitrust laws.
The recent suits against foreign ship
ping trusts have disclosed that the gov
eminent has no weapon with which to
stop this sort of q combine. 1t pro-
vides that no vessel which is not owned
by the United States or United States
citizen and which enters pool, COM
bination, conference, or agreement for
increasing rates or giving rebates, shall
be prohibited from entering at or clear
ing from United States ports under
penalty OF 5000 for each passenger and
forfeiture Of the merchandise on the
vessel. It also provides for the cancel
lation by the postmaster general OF the
mail contracts to any vessel found to
be owned by anyone in pool or COM
bination.
The office OF second deputy commits
sioner OF pensions was amputatcd off
the governments payroll this afternoon
by action OF the House, in committee
OF the whole. AS reported to the House o
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill provided only for one
deputy commissioner. Mr.. Fuller
made vain effort to have the bill
amended to conform with the present
law which provides for two deputies.
Layerett n. Kelley is at present second
deputy.

FIRE LOSSES DURING 1910.

Statistics made public in Chicago
yesterday showed that losses by fire in
the United States and Canada in 1910
amounted to 1884 40, 600, or over $50,
600, 900 more than the losses in 1909.
December losses were exceptionally
heavy, aggregating sd ,52S, 900.
There we're Sc fires during the year,
which caused 4 damage OF $4,000 or
more, and in 10 the loss exceeded 81,
900, 900 each. In only three preceding
years have the fire losses been heavier
than in 1910. one being the year Of the
Chicago fire, the other OF the San Franz
cisco fire.
Federal and state officials agree that
the majority Of these losses are pre-
ventable, most Of them being due to
carclessness OF one form or another,
and are urging that reduction OF this
fire waste be made part OF the cam
paign for conservation of natural re-
sources. In spite of the increasing
losses it is said that the average OF fire
insurance shows a reduction in 19lO.
