CAPITOL CHATTER
Little sidelishts on Legislators and Legislation

have been passed over, retaining their
place, every legislative day this week
A crowded senate and a deserted
house was the condition that prevailed
at the capitol Thursday morning while
the upper body was wrestling with the
public utilities matter. Representative
Perrin of Woodstock, weary of the ef-
fort to do business without a quorum,
moved adjournment at 1905 until Ills
Tuesday morning. Lack of quorum
was due to the fact that the members
could not resist the temptation to go
over into the senate and hear the de-
bate. They are paid to do business in
the house, but The majority OF
those who were in the house groaned
at Mr.. Perrin's motion, but he did not
withdraw it. Speaker Scott, however,
declared a recess until LIS.
Whether agreeing with him or other
wise, those who listened to Senator
Judson defend the minority report of
the judiciary committee on the pubic
utilities matter in the senate Thurs
day agreed that his address was one of
the most effective that has been heard
within the walls of the capitol for
many a day.
"You can fool Some of the people all
the time. all of the people some of the
time but YOU can't fool all of the peo-
pie all of the time" said Senator Jud-
son during his speech THURSDAY The
people of this state are reading and
following the doings on Capitol Hill
more closely than even before and they
are making an intelligent study of
Legislation and the influences that af-
feet it.
There is little use in trying to get
the house to do business when it is not
in the mood. After recess Thursday
there was not q quorum present and
the session proceeded gingerly, that
no question might come to vote. again
disclosing the lack of a quorum which
would automatically adjourn the body.

washington, Feb 24.-As predicted
by the engineers, slides of earth from
the heights above the Culebra cut on
the Panama canal are continuing. A
slide which occurred at 10 o'clock on
the night OF Feb. 9, just opposite the
Y. M. g. A. club house at culebra, car
ried $4,000 cupic yards Of loose dirt
into the cut, covering steam shovel,
coal train with its locomotive and two
trains OF earth dumping cars. All OF
these, however, have since been extri-
Gated and the tracks which were car
ried away have been restored so
no inconvenience is being experienced.
A message from the canal, just re
ceived, states that this slide, added to
those which have occurred since July,
do not exceed the total of 6,1O4. 900
cubic yards allowed for slides in the
central division In the revised esti-
mates made at that time, nor viii the
added excavation increase the estimate
of cost OF excavation In the central
division made in October, 1908.
Cracks in the ground under the Re
at Culebra, opposite this last slide,
have made 1t necessary to tear down
the annex of the hotel and rebuild it
on safe ground.

that will come TO us, as farmers, by
the proposed reciprocity act.
