Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in

Awoke one night from a deep dream Of
peace
And saw within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in book of gold:
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem
bold,
And to the presence in the room he
said:
What writest thou?" The vision rails
ed its head,
And with a look made all of sweet ac-
cord,
The names of those who
love the Lord"
And is mine Cne," said Abou. Nay,

the angel. Abou spoke more
low,
But cheerily still, and said: q pray
thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow
men"
The angel wrote and vanished. The
next night
1t came again, with a great Weakening

And showed the names whom love of
God had blessed,
And, 10. Ben Adhem's name led all the

STRAY NOTES PICKED UP
IN HALLS OF CONGRESS

long time the Democrats have followed
course that eliminated the first and
third Mondays from legislative conElder-
alton. When Mr.. Underwood moved yes
terday that the House adjourn over until
Wednesday the Republicans mentioned
the pension bill. Representative Under
wood said frankly that the Democrats
would not permit consideration OF the bill
at this session. I'VE are willing to take
the responsibility for the delay" he said.
This measure has not had proper con-
,sideration before committee" Uncle
Joe remarked that the House was in
telligent enough to pass on the pension
bill without a report from committee.
Mr.. Underwood said he was surprised
to hear Mr.. Cannon express such a SEN
timent, adding that for fifteen years he
had heard Uncle Joe preach on the ne
cessity of working out legislation in
committee. "Of course, I have no criti-
cism to make IL my friend from Illinois
has become a progressive, and has there
fore come around to a belief in these
reform propositions" observed Mr.. Un-
derwood Uncle Joe squirmed q 'bit,
arose to reply, sank back into his seat,
and soon regained his good humor. After
more debate, the Republicans agreed to
an adjournment until Wednesday.

UNCLE JOE" CORRECTED
ON WORD "AR-KAN-SAW'

The Iong-raging controversy over the
correct pronunciation Of Arkansas" was
carried to the floor of the House yes
terday, and to all intents and purposes
definitely settled during an amusing con-
troversy between former Speaker Can
non and Representative Robert Bruce
Macon, of the State which bears the
much discussed name.
The gentleman from Ar-kan-suss
should bear in mind" began Uncle
Joe in commencing an endeavor to beat
down Mr.. Macon's objections to a con-
ference report on the deficiency bill.
''The gentleman from Ar-kan-saw, not
Ar-kan-suss," corrected Mr.. Macon, halt
ing Mr.. Cannon abruptly.
We'll, then. the gentleman from Ar
kan-saw," returned the former Speaker,
submitting to the prompting. There
perhaps Is some dispute as to whether
the State which the gentleman represents
Is to be called .Ar-kan-saw' or Ar-kan-
suss,' " he continued, land am not GER
tain even yet as to which is correct A
gentleman Of my acquaintance in the
Senate once referred to that State as
Arkansas Maybe he was right, too. u
And then the debate on the deficiency
bill was resumed.

At a conference OF members OF the
House committees on Military Affairs and
Expenditures in the War Department. to
be held early this week, plans for
searching investigation Of the charges
that rank favor!tism has been shown to
Maj. Beecher B. Ray. Of the Pay Depart
ment of the army, will be agreed upon.
1t has not yet been decided whether
a subcommittee OF the Military Affairs
Committee or the full Committee on
Expenditures in the War Department will
conduct the inquiry. The Military Affairs
Committee now has Jurisdiction over the
case, inasmuch as the reply of the War
Department to the resolution introduced
by Representative Covington, of Mary
land, requesting Information relative
to charges of misconduct on the part
of officers Of the Pay Department since
January /, 1906" was sent to that COM
mittee. But inasmuch as most Of the
charges against Maj. Ray have to do
with financial Irregularities there seems
to be a disposition to turn this latest
embryo scandal over to the Expendi-
lures COMMITTEES. The details of the
case were given in The Washington Her

SPEAKER WANTS SON
TO MARRY AN ORPHAN

Speaker Champ Clark, after convening
the House yesterday, turned the gavel
over to Representative Sims, OF Tennes-
see, and hurried OF on a little vacation
trip to the seashore. He will spend three
or four days at a pleasant point down on
the New Jersey coast, visiting a second
cousin, who is said to be the nearest
relative the Speaker possesses.
Speaker CIark's father and mother had
a minimum Of brothers and sisters, and
these had extremely few, II, any, chill
dren. Consequently, cousins, in connec-
ton with the Clark family, were very
scarce indeed. This circumstance ap-
pears to have been a qualification, rather
than an annoyance to the Speaker, judg-
ing from a story related Of him yester-
day, involving the generosity Of Mrs.
Champ Clark in bestowing overworn and
CASTOR clothes Of the Speaker upon near
and distant relatives of her own. On one
of these occasions the Speaker protested
good-naturedly, asserting that he was
so poor that he should continue to wear
the clothing himself. Mrs Clark there
upon pleaded the predominant needs OF
her relations.

dressing his son. who stood near by,

SUGAR TRUST UNDER FIRE.

Louisiana Planters Tell of ExactiOna
of Refining Company.
A severe arraignment of the American
Sugar Refining Company and its meth
DDS marked the testimony before the
Hardwiek sugar investigating committee
yesterday. The critics Of the trust were
j. E. Burguieres, John Dymond, and
Theodore Wilkinson, of New Orleans, all
members of the Louisiana Cane Plant
ers' Association. The burden Of their
testimony was that the trust fixed the
prices which they paid to the planter,
that 1t "boycotted'' planters who sold
tc competitors, and that it arbitrarily
deducted a certain amount to cover the
cost Of transportation of raw sugar from
Louisiana to New York.
Mr. Wilkinson, who was formerly a
member Of Congress, was questioned as
to the effect of the tariff on the sugar
industry. He declared 1t to be his
opinion that the removal OF the tariff
would destroy an industry worth $Je,-
100000 year to Louisiana. He also ap-
proved the Dutch standard or color test,
saying that If it was discontinued II
would open the American industry to
the competition Of the whole world. He
also testified to alleged exactions of the
American Sugar Refining Company.

The reply of President Taft to the Con-

cerning the opening Of the shore-line
lands along Controller Bay to entry will

Clifford Pinchot last night declared that
the alleged interview with him regarding
the Controller Bay investigation, as pub
lished in an evening paper, was entirely
false, and that he had issued no state
ment whatsoever on the subject.
Il have given no interview" said Mr..
Pinchot, "and issued no statement in
connection with the Controller Bay in
vestigation. My only public expression
on the subject of Controller Bay is a
brief reference contained in a short
statement given out at the time the
Cunningham claims were Cancelled"

CASE OF MAI. RAY WILL
BE FULLY INVESTIGATED
Members of the House Regard Favoritism Shown Him
to Be Unusually fragrant.

CATION" said a member Of the committee
yesterday, ito determine the source Of
the power welded by Maj. Ray, ex-
railroad conductor, labor leader, cam
paign worker and administration favor
lite by which he has been able to secure
leave of absence for long periods and
whenever he desired. stop courts-martial
intended to call him TO account, and
generally comport himself as If the army
and its vaunted discipline were no con-
Germ OF his at all. Certainly, he must
have had powerful friends, and 1 think
the public should know who they are,
why they have shielded Maj. Ray. and in
what manner he placed these powerful
friends under such apparently heavy OBJ
legations to him as to induce them to
move heaven and earth in his behalf"
Members of the Military Affairs Com
mittee are irritated over the fact that the
papers and records in the Ray case, as
furnished by the War Department, are
not consecutive or complete. They want
TO know who edited the Ray records and
why. They insist, moreover. that despite
the fact that Mai. Ray is supposed to
have been the manager of the labor end
of President Taft's Presidential cam
paign, that they are not hot on his trail
for political reasons.

JUDGE TO FIGHT
ENEMIES In COURT

Nashville. Tenn, July 15.-Judge E.
&c. Goodpasture yesterday answered the
bribery charges of his enemies, Of
which he was acquitted in June, an
nouncing that he would bring suit in
the Circuit Court against the Tennes-
sean Publishing Company. The dam
ages sought are $4,000.
1t is understood in Nashville that an
other suit will be filed by Judge Good
pasture against H. B. Carre. Of Wander
bilt University for $4,000. Mr.. Carre is
president of the Anti-Saloon League.
Judge GOodpasture was arrested and
tried for attempted bribery Of J. c.
Mcdonald, a member Of the legislature
Of Tennessee. He was acquitted.
In his bill he claims malicious defama-
tion of character by publishing an edi-
torial in the Nashville Tennessean in
regard to the charges against him This
case will perhaps be one Of the most
sensational in the history of the State
for the last quarter Of a century.

Representative Rucker, OF Missouri,
yesterday encountered the rule Of the
House which prohibits the discussion OF
incidents occurring in debate in the SEN
ate, and In the course of a few remarks,
in which he desired to disprove the In
sinuation Of Senator Borah that the con-
ference over the popular elections bill
was being hampered through disinclina-
ton of the House conferees to act, he
gave a ludicrous turn to the rule, which
his House colleagues highly enjoyed.
Sending a Congressional Record to the
Clerks desk, the Missouri member called
for the reading of Senator Borah's re-
marks in the Senate the day before.
Representative Dalzell promptly made the
point Of order that the debate at the
other end Of the Capitol could not be re-
peated In the House.
VERY well, then; I viii withdraw my
request for the reading" said Repre-
sentative Rucker, land will say that in
another body than this, located not far
from this place, 1t was asserted by a
member Of that body. which Is. smaller
than this, that certain members Of this
body, which is larger than that, who
were appointed to confer with members
of that other body over the differences
between this body and that other body
concerning the bill for the direct cleo
ton of United States Senators were not
inclined to act The conferees of this
body wish to serve notice on the con-
ferees Of the Senate-I beg pardon-the
conferees of that other body; which is
smaller than this body. that they have
not only been ready to act with them ever
since the measure was passed and
amended in the Sen-I beg pardon-in
that other body, but stand ready now
to meet with the conferees of the other
body. at any time Of the day or night
the Senators-I mean the members of
that other body-express desire to con-
fer"
BY this time the House was convulsed
with laughter, and it was agreed that
Representative Rucker knew how to fur
nish an honorable means of thwarting
the operation of the highly peculiar and
oft broken House rule.

As soon as Moss learned that his col
league, Cox, had prepared the resolution
referred to, he made a valiant effort to
head of what he construed to be an
attempt to steal his thunder. He sought
out Cox on the floor, and for two hours
they talked things over.
Cox finally said he would withhold his
resolution for the present. but very soon
thereafter thought better of it, and, after
notifying Moss, dropped the resolution in
