SPEAKER CANNON PAIRED
 WITH CHAMP CLARK.
Both Were Away from Night Session
 of the House,

Washington, Feb. 20.-One. of the most interesting pairs recorded in the house of representatives for many Years was arranged toCcover the ab- sence from tonight's session of the house of Speaker Cannon and Champ Clark, the speaker. to-be. They signed an agreement to offset each other on any roll call on any question that might come up.
 In the general debate on the naval appropriation bill in the house Repre- sentative Morris Sheppard of Texas congratulated the triumphant democ- racy and condoled with the republi- cans. He had the house in an uproar when describing the stand patters and insurgents" and there were re- newed shouts of laughter when he re- ferred to Colonel Roosevelt as "a hu man seidlitz powder"
 Roosevelt the Human Seidltz Powder.
 ITO an insurgent," he said, "a stand batter is a veritable prince of dark ness, a votary of oppression. a tyrant with heart if flint, with hand of iron and lips of brass; while the most com plimentary thing stand batter can say of an insurgent Is that he should be shot as a traitor, burned at the stake boiled in oil-4aii three at once.
 ..Even Roosevelt, the human seidlitz nowder, who for seven years held his party in an undivided and reslstless mass. who while president eyaded the revision of the tariff with a skill that made him the noblest stand batter oi them all, ceased to hunt w1ld beasts m Africa to hunt stand ratters in the Unied States
 MT. Sheppard said that the demo cratic party would moro than 1ustlly the reawakened .confdencei Of the American people.

REGULATING THE PRINTING
 FOR THE GOvERNM ENT.
Changes to Save About $t,soo,o0o Are
 Proposed.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The committee on printing today reported to the sen ate the Snoot bill providing for a re- vision and qualification Of the laws reg ulating government printing.
 Among the most important changes is one for the gradual exchange of the power presses for the hand roller presses now in use in the bureau of en- graving and printing. This proposed change already has aroused criticism because of the contention that it would displace many hand printers.
 The bill proposes to grant each sen ator $2,500 and each member S1,S00 worth of public documents each year as he may choose.
 Another provision concentrates all the department printing offices in the government printing office.
 The printing committee estimates that the changes would save the treas ury about s1,So0,0e0.

Albany. N. T.. Feb. 20.-Althouxh tho deadlock over tho election of a United States senator is apparently as far from a settlement as it was month ago. the republicans had their demo- cratic opponents somewhat worrfed to- day when 1t was discovered before the twenty ninth joint ballot was taken at noon that the republicans, outnunbered the organization denloc-ats among the quorum of members present. all came about through an unofficial pair ing arrangement, and if some of the republicans had not refused to vote on the ground that they were bound by a gent1eman's agreement to not east their ballots until tho return of the demo- crats with whom they were pa1Hed, Chauncey M Depew might have been reelected. As It was. he cayl1s within a-few votes of 1t.

Many Of ar-Reaching Importance Io
 Interstate Commerce
ONLY MONEY FOR R. R. TICKETS
Passengers May Not Purchase Transportation with Ad+
 vertising, Services in Any Other Way Except fol
 Cash-Cuts Out Passes-Famous Bucks Stove Boy-
 colt Case Was Formally Dismissed. K

Washington, Feb. 20-Not in years have so many far-reaching principles relating to interstate commerce been approved by the supreme court of the it's decisions today. Decisions on a number of other difficult questions were announced.
 X Bearing on Interstate Commerce.
 Among the questions bearing on in- terstate commerce decided were these:
 That railroad passenger has no right to buy tickets with services, ad- vertising, releases or property, and the railroad company cannot buy serv- ices. advertising, releases or property with transportation.
 On the Hepburn Law.
 'grhe statute manifestly means,'' said Justice Harlan, in announcing the decision of the court on the in- terpretatio ton of the Hepburn rate law as to payment for transportation, .that the purchase of a transporta- by the company shall be consummat- ed only by the former paying cash and by the latter receiving cash of the amount specified in the published tariffs"
 In dealing with tine exchange of ad- vertiSing for transportation, as brought before the court in the Muneey case, Justice Harlan said:
 "The facts in the present case show how easily, under any other rule. the act can be evaGed and the object of congress entirely defeated. The leg islative department intended that all who obtain tra importation on inter state lines should be treated alike in the matter of rates. and that all who availed themselves of the services of the railway company (with certain specified exceptions) should be on a plane of equality. Those ends cannot be met otherwise than by a require ment that transportation shall be paid for only in money which has a cer- tain value known to all and not in commodities or services of any kind J Regulating Size of Train Crews.

RoILERMAkERs' STRIKE STARTED
 MONDAY AT CLEVELAND.
800 MEN OUT. THEY SAY
Figures Disputed by New York Central
 R. R. oHiciaIs-Present Dispute Started Over Piecework.

Cleveland, O, Feb. 2o.-The strike of the boiler makers in the shops of the New York Central railroad lines, which began today has the sympathy of the machinists and blaeksmiths en- pIoyed in the shops according to. the officials of the boiler makers union and within few days it lis said over two thousand nlachinists and black smiths will walk out in sympathy. Vice President Weyand of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and Ship Builders, who is in charge of the strike. says about eight hun dred boiler makers and helpers struck today.
 Filled Places With Non Union Men.
 These figures are disputed by the railroad officials, who also insist that many of the men returned to work, and that in most of the shops the majority of strikers were promptly replaced with non union men.
 Men Charge Agreement Violated.
 "The New York Central violated it's agreement with the union and we are dent Weyand, tonight He was busy most of the day and tonight with tel egraphic correspondence between the strikers in various cities, including Buffalo, Detroit, Roxbury, Mass, and Depew.r N. Y.
 D R. MacBain, superintendent of motive power of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad, issued a statement late today, giving the rail- roads side Of the dispute.
 Can Handie Situation, Says Road su-.
 perintendent.
 "Of the l2e3 boilernlakers employed on this division of the New York Central,' said MacBain, only ninety seven walked out The places of 12 of these men were filled shortly after. An hour later Is of the men who quit turning to work We will have men enough by tomorrow night to take care of the situs ton satisfactorily.
 No Agreement Violated.
 The railroad has not violated it's agreement with the boiler makers en- tered into on December 27, 1910, when the men on day work were allowed B cents an hour. That agreement did not contain reference to piecework, over which started the dispute which ended in the walkout today."i
 Sympathetic Strike in Oswego.
 Oswego. N. Y, Feb. 20.-Thirty- -firkks boiler makers struck i'll the New Y ork Central shops here today in obedience to an order of Vice President Weyand of the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and Ship Builders.

state commerce and may be carried out by a state for tho public safety.
 That the supreme court will review the validity of an order of the Inter state commerce commission, evsN though the two-year limitation on the life of the order has expired.
 Regulating Railway System.
 That a rail%ay system may not es-. cape regulation as >an instrument of interstate commerce because one of it's constituent parts is wharfage company and it's dominating power over the wharfage company rests in the fact that it is 8 holding company. That the interstate cof1merce ccmJ mission does not possess the poWey to reduce rate as unjust and un- reasonable'', merely because the rate is ineuuitable under some cfrcunDtan- ces, as in cases where railroads induce shippers to enter 9 field by offering rates so low al. to be unremunerative and afterward increase inc rates.
 Railroad EmpIoye May Sue.
 The court furthermore decided Aa constitutional a state statute pgovl6- ing that no contract of relief, benenf or insurance shall be a bar to the right of a railroad empioye engaged in the operation of raiFead to sue the employer for damages resalting from injuries received in the course of his employment.
 Kansas Citv Officers in contempt. The mayor and several councilman of Clay Center. Kan, were held in contempt but excused from punish- ment with the payment of costs. be-, cause they destroyed the subject mat ter of litigation before the suprtme court after its decision was annCunc- ed but before it's mandate had been issued or time given for . motion for re- hearing. r

LIVELY OPPOSITION EXPECTED
Committee Believes It Can Carry Through Its Pro- aramme-Proposed Repeal of Eight Hour Clause Also Have One Ship Built at Navy Yapd-Ex- periments with High Explosives to be Continued.

Washington, Feb. 20.--The naval ap- propriation bill was considered at great length in the house during an afternoon and night session today, and practically all of the provisions of the measure were agreed to with the ex- ceptiop of the new building programme, which will come up tomorrow. and is expected to precipitate 6 lively fight.
 The bill provides for two battleships of the uper-dreadnought type, carry ing twelve fourteen-inch guns. two fleet colliers, eight torpedo boat destroyers and four submarines. An effort will be made both to decrease and increase this programme. but the committee be- 1ieves 1t has enough votes to carry 1t through.
 Navy Yard vs. Private Contract.
 A proposed repeal of the clause in last years bill that all ships let out by contract must be constructed under the eiSht-hour labor law will be fought on both sides of the chamber. There will also be a fight to have ono of the new ships constructed at a navy yard. Chairman Foss of the naval committee said today that of two sister ships now under construction the, one at the New York navy yard Is costing S6.400000 and the one by private contract S3,900,- 000.
 Charging Overhead Costs.
 Representative Fitzgerald of New York assorted that this was due large 7y to the practice of charging "ovar- head" costs at navy yards to the ship under construction. and he succeeded sn having stricken from the bill on a point of order the provision that both direct and indirect charges be included in the cost of q ship.
 The house adopted an amendment offered by Representative Hobson of Alabama requiring the navy depart rnent to continue experiments with the high explosive recently used against the monitor Puritan and the ram Katahdin.
Norwich bulletin., 1911-02-21

in the lower branch of congress dur ing this session became a thing of the past today when the house voted by large majority for g rule which, when invoked by a two-thirds vote as to any pending measure, forthwith re- duces the time of debate to forty min utes and cuts off all amendments.
 Directed Against FiIibuster.
 The rule was immediately directed against the fiAhuster on the omnibus war claims bill, and that measure-a house. substitute for senate bill was passed in short order The house bill cuts out all of the French spoil ation and the navy yard overtime claims. There Is not a great deal of hope that it will be accepted by the senate.
 Opponents Claim They Were Gagged.
 Characterised as "gag" by some of Its opponents, the rule can only be brought into use when two-thirds of the house desire it. And even then the passage of bill under the suspen- sion provided for can be accomplished only by g. two-thirds vote In the rule committee it was proposed at first to allow a majority to invoke the rule. The democrats objected to this and the two-thirds proposition was insert ed. On urging the adoption of the rule in the house, the democratic leaders pointed out that this provision was sufficient safeguard and that the mi nority party would always be in a po- stfon to muster more than one third the membership of the house and could therefore defeat any undesirable meas ure. Through this power of veto it was further stated the democrats were in a position to demand that appro- priation bills called up under the rule be put in satisfactory shape.
 House Takes Up Naval Appropriation. (That the new rule was not intended wholly as a steam roller" but as means of ending useless dlibusters, was demonstrated within very few hours after it's adoption. The house resumed consideration of the naval ap- bill under the ordinary rules. More than two hours were spent in general debate and then the read ing of fthe bill for amendment under the fye-minute rule was begun.

 SEES WAR CLOUD.
Not Very Far off-united States To- saiiy unprepared-Japan "Hard Up."

Washington, Feb. eo.-Declaring that Japan Is hard up'' now because sia has already financed her next var, Representative Hobson drew a gloomy view fn the house today of the unpre- paredness of the United States for war. He said that the United States govern rnent was in such a state of unreadi- ness that it would have to fight the equivalent of three wars before really beginning war on a prepared basis.
 Panama Canal of No Use.
 Mr. Hobson predicted that the Pan- anna canal would never be used by this government in war time because it would either not be completed or ade- quate means would be found to prevent fts use instantly upon declaration of war. He pictured Japanese occupancy of the Philippines Hawai-. Guam, Sa- moa. the Aleutian Islands, Alaska. Puget sound and other parts of the United States and its possessions.

MORMON PROFESSORS
 ADJUDeED HERETics.
Three of Them Were Applying Higher
 Criticism to Old Testament.

Salt. Lake City. Feb. 2o.-Heresy hunters on the board of education of the Mormon Church believe they have unearthed three modernists of & black stripe on the faculty of the Brigham Young university at Provo.
 Charged with teaching doctrines in conflict with the beliefs of the church, R. V. Chamberlain, professor of biolo- gy. John Peterson, professor of psy- chology, and Henry Peterson, professor of education. were summoned before the board on Saturday to explain their instruction in the teachers college of the university. From their statements to the board, 1t appears that they had been applying higher criticism to the Old Tesrament. They defended their conduct and refused to recant. The board expressed disapproval, and the removal of the three men is expected. Professor Peterson is dean of the uni versity faculty.
