Mr.. Tillman's concluding words

OPPOSE IMMUNITY.
Government Will Fight Immunity to
Members of Bath Tub Trust.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The depart

pare its opposition to tie granting Of
immunity to the defendants in the
criminal action against the so-called
bath tub trust
In the plea it is declared the sub.
poenaes served on all the civil suit
defendants required answer under
oath and that the defendants filed
such answer and that in these an
swers they disclosed certain facts per-
tanning to the taings charged against
them in the indictments found by the
grand jury at Detroit.
District Attorney Watson filed a
demurrer to the plea for dismissal, as
serting that answers such as made
by the defendants in the civil seit in

templated b4 the immunity statutes in

and Tuesday. On Wednesday the bill
will be considered in executive ses-
sion and the concensus of opinion IS
that it will be reported to the senate
not later than Thursday.
Agricultural interests in large mum
bers have requested that they be given
tae privilege of making statements in
opposition to the measure.
In view of the short time that re-
mains of the present session it was
decided to limit the hearings to two
days.
All members of the committee are
agreed that it would be unwise for it
to shoulder the blame that would at.
tach to them if dilatory tactics were
restorted to in preventing action and
therefore the bill viii be given to the
senate as soon as that body is able
to proceed with it.
Monday practically will be given
over to eulogies, the Borah resolution
could not be sidetrack on Tuesday amt
Senator Lorimer will speak on We'd
nesday. Even though the Mccall bill
should be given to the senate on
Thursday there is grave doubt as to
whether consideration for it could be
brought about.
There is no enthusiastic advocate for
the Mccall bill on the republican side
of the chamber Some democrat may
come forward as its champion, but his
efforts probably would prove ineffec-
tive, as his motive would be sure to
be attacked on the ground that he was
seeking to embarrass the republic

O'Clock yesterday morning and was

ed by Mr.. Mann, of Illinois, one of
Speaker Cannon's chief lieutenants,
while Messrs. Prince, of Illinois, chair
man of the claims committee and the
republican who reported the bill, and
Sims, of Tennessee; Clay, of Ala
bama; Carline, of Virginia, and other
democrats, solidly backed by their
party, voted fer the bill.
The bill, as it passed the senate,
carried $2,S25,941, including sS42.6S9
for the French spoliation claims. But
the claims committee reported the bin
to the house without the French
spoliation features. 1t was the spectre
of these French spoliation claims
which the republican leaders feared
would be tackled onto the bill in the
final affairs between the two houses
lat so late a day in the session that
the house might act on the conference
report without an opportunity to vote
against the French claims separately.
Democratic leaders conjured other
motives such as an effort to force an
extra session so as to embarrass the
democratic party by plunging it into
the throes of tariff revision before it
had time to prepare for that work,
while republicans claimed that the
shutting off of the spoliation feature
was the purpose of the filibuster,

EFFICIENCY OF THE HUMAN
MACHINE

Professor Jules Amar recently sub
mitted to the Academy of Medicine
in Paris the results of his study of
the man machine. He proceeded up
on the principle that a man who
eats literally ought to recuperate in
weight every twenty-four hours.
If his weight lessons he works to
excess, if his weight increases he has
not expended the maximum effort.
Amar found that the human machine
gives a profit of % to 80 per cent
on the expenditure. but that the best
artificial machine returns only IA
per cent.
IL would seem from these expert
ments that man is indeed superior
to all mechanisms. with the very
slight exception that he always
wastes energy during the first five
minutes of work before regaining his
equilibrium.
1t would seem that Mondays hui
man labor is the most inferior and
Tuesdays the most superior, owing to
the curious action of Sunday as a
rest day; the Monday lassitude of
the French workingman is proven
bal. And it is found that the work.
man who does not rest gradually
loses his energy, and this is now
subject of keen interest among sci
entists.
The relation between fatigue and
accidents receives much more atten-
ton in Europe than here, as do all
matters relating to the conservation
of human energy and the safety of
the workingman. The relation be-
tween fatigue and accidents has in
deed been noted in practically all
forms of human energy. Bank clerks
make most of their mistakes late in
the afternoon. and this is said to
have had something to do with the
early closing of such institutions.
Bankers, at any rate. have had the
sense to note that the mistakes of
their employees are likely to prove
expensive-Dietetic and HYGIENE Ca
