scores a total of approximately $4,000
public and private bills introduced I'D,

a leap of more than, 1900 over the
record established by the last con
gress, the sixtieth. These figures are
exclusive of resolutions, which so far
in the three sessions Of the present
congress have numbered SS3 simple
resolr lions, 27S joint resolutions and
fifty-six concurrent
Back in the earlier congresses there
we're comparatively few measures pre-
scented, but, with the extension of the
sway Of the American flag to various
insular possessions and with the host
of river and harbor and public build
ing developments, with pet projects
for a multitude of streams almost
never before heard of, the bulk of
bills and resolutions has been increas-
ing rapidly.
In the fifty-fourth congress 10000
bills introduced outdistanced all other
records. This was raised by a thou
sand little later and four years ago
the house files were flooded with
1000 bills. During the two preceding
sessions of this congress 1924 bills
were presented and up to today the
present session has registered BOIL.

introduced in the few days following

COMMIT TEE
: GR|LLS SACKETT IN

Executive Clerk, Blamed BY
Edmonds, Is Closely
Questioned.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Oct. 6-With
e. A. Edmonds excused until October
l6. and admonished to study his expense
accounts again, the Stephenson invests
eating committee took Rodney Sacketts
now executive clerk in the United States
Senate, in hand again today.
The, committee wants to know what
were the exact relations between these
two men in the Stephenson campaign.
1t appears that while Edmonds was
supposed to be general manager in the
expenditure of the 100000 campaign
fund, Sackett also paid out big sums.
Often in the course Of his testimony,
Edmonds placed responsibility on Sack
EFT.
Sackett today was given a severe
grilling. The notice to Edmonds that
State Senator John ]. Blaine, of Bosco-
bel. who preferred the criminal charges
against Stephenson, will be called as q
witness. added interest to the occasion.

Florida Railway
Strike Is Delaying
Southern Mails

The Postoffice Department has been
advised of delayed mails on the Georgia
and Florida Railroad, upon which there
Is now a strike of trainmen. The
Georgia and Florida runs from Augusta
Ga, to Madison. Fla, and serves some
of the principal towns Of Southern
Georgia.
According to information received to-
day at the department from Superin-
tendent Pepper. in charge Of the rail-
way mail service at Atlanta, mail Is
being sent in a roundabout manner by
other railroads to those towns, which
have two or more railway systems.
Even this arrangement. however.
causes some delay. The smaller
towns suffer still more Inconvenience
because II has been found necessary
to establish wagon routes from the
nearest railroad center.

Fined For An Error

Fined $40 for giving short measure on
the first day he was employed in Center
Market, William Donaldson said in Dis
trict branch of Police Court yesterday:
81 reckon l can make more money by
finding a good job on some nice, quiet
farm than l can in the big city
Donaldson procured place in one OF
the stands in the Center Market yes
terday, and one of his customers was
r.. M. Hizer who was looking for onions.
The price Donaldson wanted, 40 cents
peck, was too much, according TO Htzcr.
donaldson accommodatingly came down
to 35 cents, and the bargain was struck
for a peck of the vegetables. Empty
ing about one-ha!f of a large basket Of
onions into a bag, Donaldson passed
them over to HiZer.
Hadn't you better measure thenn?"
asked Hizer.
"Oh, I know it is a good full peck I've
given YOU" said Donaldson.
Iiizer turned the onions over to Assist
ant Sealer Lee S. Schoenthal. A scant
half. peck was all the vegetables meas
ured in a standard peck measure. JuoGe
Mullowny refused to extend clemehcy.

|NCENSED
BY COURT ORDERS,
IN DANGEROUS MOOD
Men On Hartman System
Highly Wrought BY
Blanket Injunctions.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 6.-Federal au-
thorities all over the middle and far
West are preparing today to cite for
contempt any striker on the Hartman
system of the Illinois Central who
violated In any way the numerous
sweeping Federal injunctions. restrain
ing strikers from interfering with the
operation of trains.
The carrying Of the labor war into the
Federal courts with the prospect that
Federal troops may be called out to
enforce the mandates Of the Federal
judges, has incensed the strikers and
their sympathizers to the danger point.
The labor cry against government by
injunction" is emphasized by the sweep
ing character of the numerous blanket
injunctions granted and the labor men,
already angry at this court govern
ment" are worked UP to the fighting
pitch.
The Federal injunctions have thus
far prevented further riotous outbreaks.
but the situation is admittedly serious.
1t has been along the Illinois Central
lines that the strike violence has been
most marked.
The first outbreak on the Hartman
system occurred yesterday at Algiers,
across the river from New Orleans,
when strike breakers en- route to the
Hartman shops were attacked by 500
men. Many shots were fired, but 1t Is
said no one was killed.
More troops are being rushed by Gov
ernor Noel, of Mississippi, to McComh
City. and the presence Of the large num-
Der of State soldiers has had the effect
of quieting that turbulent town. The
streets are practically deserted. Ma
chine guns have been posted about the
Illinois Central shops at that place
which now resemble a fortress.
