HOUSE sCANDALIZED by
MEMBER FROM ARKANSAS
Rep. Goodwin Cooled Feet on
Desk and AnxiouSIy Took
His Temperature

WASHINGTON. April 15.-Representa-
tive w. G. Goodwin. new member from
Arkansas, today distinguished himself
and scandalized the house of representa-
tives to the amusement of the galleries
When Asher Kinds, of Maine, began a
long speech in opposition to the reciproc-
ity bin, the Arkansan sought a prominent
seat on the Democratic side, front row,
center aisle. He settled himself back In
his easy chair and cooled his heels on
the polished desk in front of him.
Goodwin looked comfortable enough for
a few minutes but presently he began to
squirN and fdget. the maiden effort OF
Mr.. Kinds seemed to excite him. Present.
ly, he unbuttoned his coat and with
extreme care took a physicians thermom-
serted in his mouth. took out his watch
of his surroundings. After reading the
thermometer he seemed more disturbed,
so he began to count his pulse beats by
the watch. Sa
In the meantime, several veteran Dem
ocratic members became embarrassed by
the conduct OF Mr.. Goodwin. Not since
the early 40s has it been the custom
of members to put their feet on their
desks. The Democrats felt scandalized,
and the worst of 1t was that few knew
the name of the new member. Finally
Clark, of Florida, called
the assistant sergeant at arms and he
quietly notified the gentleman from Ar
kansas to remove his feet from the
desk

SPEAKERS LOBBY OPENED
TO THE NEWSPAPER MEN
ny RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, April Batter hav-
ing been closed for Ten years, the speak
ers lobby of the house of representatives
was today reopened to the newspaper
men in Washington. AS a result Speaker
Champ Clark has made scores of new
friends among the Washington cores
pondents.
The opening of the lobby to the news
paper men will facilitate their work, and
at the same time make 1t more conven-
lent for members Of the house. 1t is
now possible to reach a member and
talk to him with more ease and comfort
than for the past ten years. The speak
er's lobby is furnished with easy chairs
and sofas and is plenty large TO accom-
modate the newspaper men who have
occasion to use it at various times.
Ten years ago the lobby was closed to
the newspaper men by the late Speaker
Henderson, because a correspondent
abused the privilege and angered the
speaker by delaying him when he was
in haste to leave the house.
Many efforts were made to have Spak-
er Cannon reopen the lobby, but they
awaited nothing. 1t remained for Champ
Clark to obllge the corps OF correspond
ents.

A small steamer flying a flag OF truce

The three southern Officers. were met
with the utmost courtesy by Major An

AT $3.50 a. m the firing was continuous
but the federal machine guns were heard
no more and appeared to be out of COM
mission. The federal machine guns were
originally placed in the center of the fed
eraI battle line to the southwest of Aqua
Prieta, which extended fan-like in two
directions, southwest and northeast. The
machine guns would be rushed forward
and fired until hot, then the soldiers
would close up and hold the line while
the guns cooled After a moments rest
they would be rushed forward again.
When they came into near contact with
the rebel trenches the machine guns ap-
peared to have been silenced and the
federal line fell back.
At 1:30 the federals rushed another COLI

raked all the ground between Aqua Prize

large zone in Douglas.
This section is a flat, open territory and
the constantly falling bullets which kick
ed up little geysers of dust gave the
whole district the appearance of smoking

At 1890 the firing ceased. The rebels
still had every position which they oc-

Ten Reasons Why You Should
Send For My New Appliance
/ Send 1t On Trial

1t is absolutely the only appliance of
the kind on the market today, and in it
are embodied the principles that invent

The Appliance for retaining the rup-
ture cannot be thrown out of position.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-04-18

Being an air cushion OF soft rubber 1t
clings closely to the body, yet never
blisters or causes irritation.
Unlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used in trusses, it is not cumbersome
or ungainly.
1t is small. soft and pllable, and pos.
itively cannot be detected through the
clothing.
The soft, pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleas-
ant sensation of wearing a harness.
There is nothing about it to get foul,
and when it becomes soiled it can be
washed without injuring 1t in the least
There are no metal springs in the APP
pliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
All of the material or which the APP
planes are made is of the very best
that money can buy, making it durable
and safe Appliance to wear.
