YOUNGEST COLONEL IN
THE ARMY

Washington. D. c., Feb. Ia
Among the several changes and pro-
motions among the army officers re-
sulting from the retirement today
of Brig. Gen. George B. Davis, one
of the most interesting is the promo
ton of Lieut.. Col John A. Hull, to
the rank of Colonel. Col. Hull, who
is not yet 81 years old, is by about
10 years the youngest officer of his
rank in the entire military estab-
lishment OF the United olates. He is
the son of former Congressman J. A.
Hull of Iowa, and has been in the
army about thirteen years. AS Judge
advocate general of the department
of the east, he has directed the
preparation and prosecution of ev-
cry court martial that has been held
in that department in the past four
years. His promotion does not af-
feet his present place, and he will
continue on duty indefinitely on Gov
ernor's Island.

to roam

Till ! can get a check from home.
$50 Mr.. Speaker, from this Call
fornia paper gather the reasons why
some people who go to California
never return. The reasons are
strong. They are in the shape of
iron doors and prison bars. Why,
Mr.. Speaker, if a person expresses a
desire to leave California, if he looks
at all homesick, they straightway
lock him up on a charge of vagrancy.
No wonder so many young men and
old men never return from Califor-
MIA. No wonder the state is filling
up so fast, and no wonder the popu-
lation of California is increasing SO
rapidly.
"Mr. Speaker, this fair haired
youth longs to go again to the places
that knew him in happier days, and
full Of regrets and sad experiences is
lis awaiting check from home while
he is yearning to be delivered from
IuG lduu vi I1OIlSllSe, ana the pTunS-
haunted cell of the vagrant."
In concluding Heflin scared to En-
pyrean heights on the wings of his
Muse, and delivered himself of the
following:
Eve want you to visit us in the
Southland;
Come when the springtime comes,
When the goldbelted bee in the bios
som huns,
When in pillows of pink the peach
blooms blow,
And apple and plum scatter swirls OF
snow,
When the fern droops low by the
woodland stream,
And the gray dove COOS in a blissful
dream,
When the ripping wheat hides the
partridge nest,
And the land of the South is at he,
, best"

WANTS THEM TO
HUNCH UP A BIT

Chicago, Feb. 14.--To stir up a
hornets nest with neatness and dis
patch in Chicago one has but to pro-
test against relief Of the congestion
on street cars and the Il" by the
subway, for which plans have now
been completed. President Charles
V. Weston of the South Side Ele-
waited company tried the experiment
by protesting publicly that subway
should wait until the elevated roads
were more prosperous. Immediately
he became aware of the hornets.
What he said was this: "The build
ing of additional tracks for the
elevated roads may soon be neces-
sary, but as soon as they have been
built there will be use for either a
subway or more elevated tracks
within the area lying between
TWenty-second street and Chicago
avenue and the lake and Halsted
street. But before the city enters
extremely into the building of sub.
ways it must have an enormous den
sity In population. because the finan-
citl side of the problem must be
met, and the density of traffic on
each mile of the line is the factor
which determines the financial fail
ure or success of urban transpor-
tation. I think I may confidently
assert that Chicago with it's sur
face, elevated and steam lines is bet
ter equipped with transportation IA
cilities than any other city of equal
density in population in this coun-
try or in Europe" What the hor-
nets said was like this, by the Chi
cago Post: "The gentleman who
happens to be the president of the
next to the worst of the elevated
railroads declares that Chicago is
not yet ready for subway. Weston
with an artlessness that belongs to
vanished order of things, :
lays down the principle that we
must hurl ourselves into the packed
cars with greater initial velocity
we must 'hunch up a little closer
We must go through sterner pun
ishment before we can have any
hope or freedom. In reply, we
would say to Mr.. Weston that the
people of this town are determined
that the hideous old Loop shall
Ecome down and that with its re-.
moval shall come in the swift, ST.
lent, capacious subway"

CONGRESSIONAL RECORDS
HORSE PLAY RICH.

Washington, Feb. Is The Con-
gressional Record, the only daily
paper published by the government,
occasionally has it's monotonous col
umns enlivened by human interest .
A few times during the session the
Muse creeps into print; once in a
while jokes relieve the solemnity of
the stilted parliamentary debate.
Such an excursion of the Muse has
just come to light in the printing OF
a speech by Rep. Helm (Dem, Ala. }
The Alabama member undertook to
kill time while the house was waiting
to vote on the resolution to give the
Panama Fair to San Francisco. Con-
sideration of the bill had been fin
ished at three o'clock, but according
to the rule adopted, a vote on its
passage could not be had until four
o'clock Most of the members left
the floor and sought to occupy the
time in the cloak rooms. Heflin's
speech was heard by only handful,
but the verdict of these few made the
congressman anxious to see it in cold
type in the Record. After more than
week it has finally came to light in
that sheet.
Helm sung the old, old song of
the Sunny South, and poked good
natured fun at the Golden West.
From somewhere in his desk he pro-
duced Los Angeles newspaper con-
tanning story about the arrest, for
vagrancy, of young man from the
effete east.
"He was fair haired YOUTH ex-
claimed Heflin, who heard the call
of the west bidding him on to Cali
fornia. He responded, and he too,
was hauled into California court
on charge of vagrancy. Yes, va
grancy, Mr.. Speaker, in that enchant-
ed realm, that land of romance and
of song. The story goes that he had
taken girl named Hortense TO a
theatre in a town in California, and
thence to a fashionable cafe, suggest
ed to him by the girl; there they
ate and drank and were merry. Ow-
ing to the long distance to Califor-
MIA and the heavy expense of getting
there, this young mans money had
run so low that on that night he had
only s14 left.
"Yet, Mr.. Speaker, before the wild
noon of night the young mans $14
had been expended and the CIR
shook him and left him penniless, a
stranger among strangers in that fal
away land of the West. Cruel, heart.
less Hortense! And what happened
to him. A policeman got him and
locked him up on charge of vag.
rancy; and, speaking of the girl, the
cafe, the show, this is what the
young man said in court:
Judge, that's where Hortense
steered me,
And that is where she queered me
She did me brown, then threw me
down,
She left me broke, living joke.
The butt of this California town.
Judge I'm sorry to say that must

When the cops ran me in
