TRUST CONTROL
DEBATE RIGHT
Monopoly in Congress up
for a Curling.

Washington, April PA trust-a
speaking trust-and In congress, too,
has been discovered by Representative
Lindbergh Of Minnesota, who In a res
olution proposes to curb 1t. A few
members can talk all they want to, he
says, while others are supposed to lis
ten or when recognized at all they are
limited to speak only a few minutes.
The Lindbergh resolution says that
"a partial and monopolistic practice
prevails In the house by designating
certain SO called leaders to control the
time and to discriminate in the distn-
button Of time to their favorites, some
times giving more than three hours to
one Of these and frequently five min
utes or less, or no time at all, to
others"
This statement Is accepted as a criti-
cism Of Uncle Joe Cannon, who spoke
for nearly four hours on the reciproc-
ity bill, while Representative Ander-
son Of Minnesota was allowed only
two minutes and other northwest
members got no time at all.
THAT practice" says the resolution,
"has prevented those who were able
to and would speak from giving I'M
portant information on mattera."
But all Is not serene wen with those
members who monopolize the time.
According to the resolution, several
members In the speaking trust who
insist upon a prominent position In the
Congressional Record have to talk to
empty benches and In order to have
their u%tterances appear genuine when
printed in the Record must enlarge or
edit them.
So Mr.. Lindbergh, following the
lead of Representative Murdoch, the
red haired Kansas insurgent, would
have speeches actually made on the
floor and not revised or changed des-
ignated in the Record as Mr.. Blank
addressed the house as follows, then
give the actual speech.
Even the members who do not speak
on any matter before the house are to
have special rights and privileges II
Mr.. Lindbsrgh has his way. The reso-
luton provides that any such member
may hand any statement on any sub
ject to the clerk Of the house to be
printed In document form for distribu-
ton to the members and II the mem
Der votes on the proposition In Ques-
ton to be printed In the Record.
Certain people," said MI. Lind
bergh, have shown a disposition to
monopolize the time Of the house. A
man like Cannon can get three hours.
Some of US get Ave minutes or less.
Personally l have no complaint. If
the leaders did not treat me fairly I
would hold them up In soms way, but
the system is bad and should be
changed"

attention.
Rather looks as if we were trap
ped" Britt said.
Somewhat" rejoined Fitch. Were
here to stay unless that reptile goes"
Can we kill it, do you think?" asked
the detective.
1--WE might if we had a machine gun
have you got pistol?'
II brought one into the room," an
swered Britt, feeling in his pockets,
''but laid it on that table when | was
going through those drawers. Pretty
careless, eh?"
Fitch nodded. He was racking his
wits for some means of escape which
meant, so far as he could see, a meth
cd of killing the snake. 1t seemed use
less to expect help from outside the
house The door between the hall and
the room in which they were was
closed, and before it hung portieres
heavy enough to muffle their loudest
shouts Their only probable chance OF
relief lay in the hope that the blue
coat would become sufficiently anxious
at their failure to return and would
enter the house in quest of them
Even in that rather remote contln-
gency, however, it was far from GER
tain they could warn him before the
cobra could glide across the room and
strike him to death. No, they were
thrown utterly upon their own re-
sources. Britz agreed with the doctor
on that point, as in low tones, so that
they might not further infiame the SER
pent, they discussed their situation.
Guess there's nothing accidental
about this little sunshine being in the
ROOM" said Britt musingly. Those
Oriental strong-armers probably fig
ured it out that one or both of us
would come here, and so they arranged
this pleasing little surprise party. /
think it is worthy place in the society
! columns as one of the successes of the
season"
| He made light of the danger because
| that was his way when he was in a
particularly tight place; but he rea-
lized the peril by this time as fully as
did the doctor. There was nothing hui
morous in the fact that all the time
they were held prisoners atop the chif-
fonier by the gray death before them,
the Hindoos were doubtless making the
most of the time thus gained for es-
cape True, he had asked that all the
ordinary avenues of escape from the
city be watched, and although he took
it for granted Chief Manning would
carry out the request conscientiously
he was not at all confident the men
sent from the Central Office and from
the various precinct headquarters
would be proof against the adroitness
of Indian noblemen, adopts, and thugs.
Moreover, it was rs good as certain
that the Swami, the Prince, and their
followers would not seek to fee the
city by any ordinary route. Britt him
self. had he been free to continue the
pursuit, would have looked first to the
most extraordinary modes of flight
compatible with practical conditions
From what he knew of the men, by
this time 1t would not amaze him
greatly to find they had left the city
by airship or submarine, slightly in
probable as either means of transii

kerchief, which, crisp one instant, was
limp the next.
Pretty close CALI he said, when
speech was restored to him.
What Is it," asked Britt.
What is it?" exclaimed the doctor.
well, only the most dangerous thing
infinite wisdom has seen fit to place
in that wonderland of the East
Shaker" asked the detective.
"Snake!" cried Fitch That's not
the word, man. 1t is the most poison
Gus serpent known to scientists-the
terrible cobra di capello, of Hindo-
stan. A single touch of it's fangs is
the beginning of the end-the way to
a swift finish
Hurt much?' asked the detective
coolly.
ct is said to be the most frightful
torture man can experience-death by
a cobras poison. Science has not yet
found an antidote. If RATHER bites
you, you may save. your life with
whisky if you get it soon enough.
When a cobra sets his teeth in you,
you don't have time to drink the whis-
ky, even if the glass is at your lips,
and nobody knows whether it would do
any good if you had time to drink 1t"
A long low whistle was the detec-
tive's only expression of his apprecia-
ton of their predicament. His study
of Oriental lore did not acquaint him
with the characteristics of the cobra.
But the doctor was scientist. and
Britz was willing to take the informa-
ton on trust 1t was situation in
which he felt he could afford to dis
pense with experimental knowledge.
The thick. beautifully rounded snake,
ashen in color and sinuous of move
ment, apparently was not alarmed by
the scramble of the doctor and the de-
tective to the top of the chiffonier, nor
even by the swing of the divan under
the vigorous push of Fitch's foot. 1t
lowered the head it had lifted few
inches from the floor, and continued
its passage across the room; but a
short, dry laugh from the sleuth evil
IDENTIFY angered it more than any louder
noises. 1t stopped midway of the
room, turning it's head once more to-
ward the men on their narrow perch.
An involuntary SILVER ran through
Fitch, and even Britz felt little un-
comfortable under the serpent's gilt
tering gaze. The creature coiled itself
| in the center of the floor, it's head lift
| ed, and sthose beady eyes twinkling
| furiously. Then began motion of the
head like that of waterspout to a
point at least knee-high of a tall man
The head bent forward slightly, and
the neck on both sides distended slow
ly until the loose flesh formed a sort Of
hood behind and slightly above both
sides of the narrow, wicked forehead
of the serpent.
! 'Look!" cried Fitch. THAT is the
unmistakable sign of q cobra, the dead
iy hooded snake of India. 1t is like nc
other member of the serpent family
When you see that hood commence to
come out-don't wait to see the rest
