Ones.

Washington, D. c., April Sem
ator Curtis, of Kansas, is preparing
to inaugurate crusade for an
amendment of the Senate rules,
which will permit the Senate to de-
termine when debate shall cease up
On given subject. He announced

luton for an amendment to provide
for closure after subject has been
under discussion for five separate
calendar days or ten consecutive
hours
Under the plan suggested any SEN
ator would be recognized to move
for the termination, of debate, and if
the motion prevails by a two-thirds
majority vote shall be taken after
three hours additional discussion.
Under the present rules any two
or three Senators can hold up a sub
lect indefinitely" said Mr.. Curtis. in
discussing his resolution. "The coun-
try sends us here to transact bust
ness, and we shall provide the way
for doing so. Certainly there can be
no reasonable complaint of a rule
that allows two-thirds of the mem
bers a voice on the point of cloture. >

Durham Officers Captured Booze and
Horses.

Durham, n. c., March 31.-The
officers have been unable to locate
the owner of ten gallons of blockade
booze and the fine horse captured
Tuesday night in East Durham by
Officer Lonnie Morgan.
The whiskey was in a buggy and
was near a near beer saloon when
the officer called to the man driving
the horse to wait a minute. The
gentleman did not obey. He fed
and left everything behind There
is no clue to the horse owner, but
the whiskey is so much less valu-
able than the animal that there is
half an opinion that there will be
somebody turn up for the team.
Several weeks ago there was a
theft of two horses from the livery
stable here. These had been taken
in raid on the road to Hillsboro
There were 100 gallons of whiskey
and the horses were brought here
One morning at o'clock there was
a call for team and some men came
stole two saddles and two horses and
have never been heard from.

Railroads Attack Validity of Safety
Appliance Act.

Atlanta, Ca, April 3.-Action at
lacking the Federal safety appliance
act as it effects railroads was started
in the United States Court here to-
day at the instance of the Louisville
and Nashville and Atlantic Coast
Line railroads. They seek to have
the act declared unconstitutional, set
ting forth the reasons, which the law
should be taken off the statute books.
The reasons are:
First, that Congress in passing the
act, exceeded it's powers to regulate
commerce; second, that such law is
not authorized by the Constitution;
that the act is SO broad that it pen
allies railroads engaged in interstate
commerce, whether the defective ap-
planes on. which the Government
bases it's prosecution have been used
il interstate commerce or not;
fourth, that the act attempts to regu-
late appliances used in intra-State as
well as interest commerce, and, fifth,
that the act violated the tenth
amendment to the Constitution, be-
cause 'the powers not delegated to
the United States by the Constitution
by it are reserved to the States or
the people,
During the past few months the
Government has made more than a
dozen cases out under this act
against railroads entering Atlanta.

DEMOCRATS WITHOUT A COM
PASS.
New Reciprocity Bill Will Be Intro
duced-Democrats Undecided on
the Tarif-Thousands of New
Bills the First Day.

Washington, ID. c., April 4.-The
plan of the tariff revision to be re-
commended to the House by the
Ways and Means Committee will be
the subject of a conference tomor-
row morning among the Democratic
members of the committee Although
revision and reciprocity have been
Underwood and his associates, no
definite method of procedure has
been determined upon up to this
time.
There is a division of opinion as
to whether the Canadian reciprocity
measure should be presented as a
separate bill, or should have attach
ed to it revised schedules embracing
parts of the existing tariff law, such
as the WOODEN or cotton schedules.
A decision may be reached at to-
morrow mornings meeting, and that
the committee will be ready, IL de-
sired, to report some legislation to
the House by Thursday.
1t is understood that the Demo-
cratic members of the committee
have reciprocity measure in slight
ly different terms than the Mccall
administration bill. and that it may
be presented by Chairman Under
wood.
Bills on almost every conceivable
subject, both public and private were
introduced today. They provided for
changes in the tariff, pensions, i'm
provements in the postal service, an
income tax and many other matters.
Several hundred public bills and
more than two thousand private bills
were presented during the three
hours that the House was in session.
Representative Hull, of Tennessee
is the author of bill for an income
tax of $1,000 or more derived from
any source whatever, unless other
wise taxed, to be assessed at a rate
OF one per cent year. He expects
to press this bill without regard to
the proposed constitutional amend
/, ment on the subject.

took the two men to the county seat.
These are the men who, On Sunday
night, waylaid two deputy sheriffs,
shooting the officers from their
horses and rescued their two broth-
ers. The search took the sheriff s
posse over almost impossible roads
and it was only after they had search
ed a number of houses that in the
early morning they found the cabin
of Richard Gunter, one of the nine
Gunter brothers. The people of the
household were just arising when the
officers surrounded the cabin and
Sheriff Buckner kicked open the
door at the same time leveling two
revolvers at a bed on which were
resting the two men wanted. Taken
completely by surprise they offered
no resistance although beside them
in bed were two Winchester rifles.
A careful search failed to locate
the other two brothers, who were res
cued Sunday. The prisoners were
taken to Marshall.
The two officers who were shot are
recovering.
