DlSRUPTS HOUSE WITH FEET
Arkansas Members Posture at Desk
Causes Furore Among His
Confreres.

II. M. Jacoway, a new member from
Arkansas, probably will never again
cross his legs over the top of his desk
curing a session of the house. He as
sumed that posture of comfort the
other day, and, though he failed to
notice 1t himself, came near disrupt
ing orderly procedure in the lower
branch of congress.
The house hasn't always been so
dignified. Older members remember
when Dockery of Missouri actually re-
moved his shoes. But it seemed to
nettle some of the colleagues of the
gentleman from Arkansas. However,
nobody would take upon himself the
responsibility of informing the offend
er. He sat comfortably in his seat
and engaged himself pleasantly In TAX
ing his own temperature with pocket
thermometer.
Finally, after numerous conferences,
Representative Clark of Florida re-
ouested the assistant sergeant-at-arms

dred persons in the galleries. to say
nothing of the members themselves,
were having their attention distracted
BY his feet The sergeant-at-arms per-
formed the duty politely. Jacoway
smiled. removed his feet and a sigh
of relief went up all over the cham
Der.
The Jacoway feet, 1t should be men
toned, could not properly be placed
under the classification of dainties.

Are Still Dyinu.

Thomas Jefferson's body servants
are still dying. One died at his home
here in Washington a few days ago.
His name was James Coleman, and he
declared that he was born in Rich
mond in 1907, and that he was a
slave until the time of the emancipa-
ton proclamation. After that he con-
tinued working for his master, and
kept on working for the same family
until the last member of 1t was dead
He was one of the few remaining
types of the old southern negro He
had been blind for some Is years.
One of his boasts was that he had
served Thomas Jefferson, and he knew
many Of the men Of that period.

MAY GIVE NAME OF LIVING MAN
TO PARK NEAR
PALlSADE.
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
TAYLOR INTRODUCES REsoLu-
TIoN PROPOSING coNsTl-
TUTIoNAL AMENDMENT.

Washington.-Delay in the issuance
of a proclamation establishing the
boundaries of the new monument
park near Palisade has been caused
by the objection of the department to
giving it the name of any living man.
The Grand Junction Chamber of
Commerce selected the name of
Hooper" in honor of General Pas
senger Agent s. X. Hooper. of the
Denver & Rio Grande, and this name
was laid before the department by
Representative Taylor. The Colorado
congressman spent several hours at
the Interior Department arguing the
matter with officials and, while no
assurances were given, 1t is believed
the proclamation will be issued desig
mating the 2,000-acre withdrawal as
Hooper National Monument park.
The interior department suggested
that if the name of living man were
to be used it should be that of John
Otto, of Palisade, father of the Sun
beam Trails" constructed through the
region.
Representative Taylor has intro
duced a resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, extending the right of
suffrage to women. Mr. Taylor says
universal suffrage has proved sue.
cess in all of the states where it has
been adopted, and he believes the
right of suffrage should be extended
to women in all of the states.
Senator Guggenheim has been ad-
vsed by the commissioner of Indian
affairs that the Jicarilla Indians Will
be permitted to dispose of the timber
on their reservation, under restrict
ions that will insure them the bene
fit of the money derived from its sale
The commissioner states that while

ICES that live stock grazing is the
only means of self-support for the In
dians. Recently 335,O00 acres of graz
ing lands were added to the reserva
tion for the use of the Indians for win
ter pasture for their stock.
Ii is estimated there is over 400
100000 feet of merchantable timber
on the reservation. The sale OF this
timber will be permitted, and the
proceeds devoted to purchasing sheep
for the Indians.
In cutting the timber and market
ing it, Indian labor will be employed
as far as practicable. The commits
sioner says the Jicarilla Indians are

The tribe is decreasing because OF

Hand-shakine Season opens.

The president has already begun
his spring session of handshaking with
large numbers of tourists. Every
spring Washington becomes the mecca
for thousands of school children from
nearby cities and it is no uncommon
thing for several hundred of them to
make a weekend trip to Washington
to see the sights and shake hands
with the president. The president has
probably had a dozen such parties call
upon him since last fall. The real
spring rush has begun, however, and

The annual encam pment OF the Della

WE are glad to state that the
Light and Water Commission OF
Milford has contracted for an in
creased water supply to be pumped
from the artesian wells now in use,
and also for an additional reservoir
capable of holding seventy-6ve
thousand gallons of water, from
which water to fight fire and for
other purposes can be drawn. This
is all right and proper, and along
the line of necessity, but there is
yet another matter for the manage
ment of the light and water plant
in Milford to give serious thought,
and act promptly, so that general
waste of both electric current and
water will be curtailed, and the
present supply be made ample and
more profitable to the town. We
refer to placing both the light and
water supply on the basis of a meter
system. OF course there would be |
a radical change in the practices
Of the present; but even radical
changes can be made in the inter
est of fairness and equity. There
would have to be a minimum charge

yardless Of the consumption, and
he result will be a lesseuing of the
consumption of coal while the gross

les. This was the result in New

on why it should not be worked

WHEN the people assembled at

August annually, they brought the

people gather in ever increasing
numbers and enjoy the vacation at

the great resorts in Philadelphia
like Willow Grove where thousands |
gather to enjoy amusements and
hear grand music, and where the
crowds are many times larger than
