Gates Larger Compensation
for Clerks Injuries.

The effort in the Senate to give Alice
V. Houghton-the census bureau clerk.
who was scalped while at work over q
year ago. and who has been in pain prac-
ucally ever since-more than $4,000, the
amount fixed upon a few days ago. is to
be continued by Senator MARITIME of New
Jersey. When the case came up in the
Senate last week the senator made q
strong plea for an appropriation of $500
for Miss Houghton, and was defeated by
a vote of IL to 16. He will now seek to
have the Senate reconsider the previous
dollar proposition.

terday afternoon. Members Of the SEN
ate had been listening to long speeches
all the afternoon and many had drifted
to their offices or gone home. When
Senator MARITIME made the formal motion
that the bill be recalled from the House
which Is preliminary to motion for the
reconsideration Of the vote by which the
bill was passed-Senator Bristow hoped
to his feet to protest against action on
such a motion in the absence of the
chairman of the committee which had
considered the bill-Senator Crawford. Mr..
MARITIME remarked that the discussion of
the merits Of the bill could be postponed
until Mr.. Crawford was present, but the
consideration of a motion to recall a bill
from the House did not demand the pres
ence Of the chairman Of the committee.
To checkmate the move of Mr.. Mar
tine, Senator Bristow made q point that
no quorum Of the Senate was present. The
bells were rung throughout the Senate
offlce building and the Capitol to summon
senator's. but a quorum Of senators did
not respond to the roll call.

IN UNPRECEDENTED SHORT

Popular and Influential in the House, MIR. Aiken Always

derson that night and sent Mr.. Aiken a
telegram giving the result of his trip. He
urged that more money be made available
at once in order to put other experts in
the iieled.
Mr.. Aiken got this telegram Wednesday
morning. He did not know how much
money would be needed, but as soon as the
house met he introduced a joint resolution
making an appropriation Of $15, OCO, had
the resolution referred to the committee
or agriculture, and then telcphoned to
Secretary Wilson to come up to the cap
itol and talk to the committee about it.
Mr.. Aiken then went to work, seeing the
members OF the house personally and ex-
planning the matter to them. The leaders
on both sides of the house, Republicans as
well as Democrats, were seen and all of
them agreed to support the resolution.
MI. Fitzgerald, the chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, was seen. "Wcll,
you know We are trying to make Il record
for economy" he said, but this seems to
be Il case in which you need money down
there. and you need it right now. Figure
out just how little you eau get along with,
and | will not oppose it, Other intlucn-
tial members of the house told Mr. Aiken
the same thing.
Secretary Wilson appeared and went be-
fore the committee. He was told what
Mr.. Fitzgerald had said, and after discuss
ing the matter for a while, he said he
thought 5000 would be sufficient to carry
Oh the work until the regular %appropria-
ton bill should be passed. Thereupon,
the committee reduced the amount named
in the resolution from SIS, 900 to IS, 900,
and Mr.. Helm OF Alabama was instruct
ed to report the resolution favOrably to
the house on Thursday, of course,
all OF this took some time, and by
the time the resolution was reported to
the house Mr.. Aiken had talked to practi-
cally every member present, and had lined
everybody up for it.. Mr.. Helm made a
short talk, explaining the necessity for the
appropriation, which everybody had been
told of before hand, and in Il very few
minutes the resolution had passed the
house. There Was no IL dissenting vote.
Mr.. Aiken then had the resolution hur-
ried to the senate. Under the regular
routine it would not have been sent to the

the house, as is shown by the fact thatin
the two last national campaigns Mr.. Al
ken's tariff speeches were Incorporated IN
the Democratic campaign book. Only the
best speeches are used for this book. The
leaders of the party thought Mr.. Aiken's
speeches were so good, of the hundreds Of
speeches made in congress, that they were
willing to go before the country on them.
And it is reported here today that the
campaign book for this year, soon to be
issued, will contain another. of Mr.. Aiken's
speeches. 1t will be read by millions of
voters between now and November. This
shows what the party leaders think Of Mr..
Aiken's speeches. They do not select the
weakest speeches to put before the people
Of the country.
Mr.. Aiken's record in the House is as
good as that Of the best. He is on i'm
portant committees, and he is an influen-
tial and effectual member. He has many
bills to his credit. In n congress he Sc
cured the passage Of more bills than n
other member, Democrat or Republican,
senator or representative. This is a re-
markable statement, but it can be verified
by the word if any Il will take the trou-
BILE to do so. Haven't the people Of the
Third district every reason to feel not only
satisfied with their congressman but proud
OF him?
