OF US. ATTORNEY
Officials and Companies Go
Free Through Promise to
Change Methods.

Indictments returned in July, 1906,
against the American Ice Company, the
Chaplin Manufacturing Company
and officials of the two concerns, were
today quashed at the request of the
United States Attorneys office.
The dismissal of the charges is one
OF the results of the recent inquiry
made by the Government prosecutors
and the agreement reached with the
officials of the American Ice Company
whereby certain contracts will be abro-
gated and other changes made in the
method of doing business
The officials named in the indictments
nolled pressed were Samuel A. Kim

Well. they're here yet-our perspiring.
persistent, procrastinating legislators.
A week ago the artist slipped over to
the House and sketched a few states
men In action. 1t was rumored then
they would be gone from our midst
within a day or so, and it was the in
tention to print something nice about
various lawmakers about the time they
dropped into a Pullman berth and start
ed homeward. 1t appears today they'r re
not going home-unless some one jim
mics loose that double filibuster in the
Senate-so here's the pictures and the
story, anyway.
Every member of the House must soon
begin a fight for reelection. Who will
come back and who will be unappreci-
ated by a captious constituency? 1t
seems like selling off a piece of the
home furniture when one thinks Of the
possible absence of some of these House
characters in the sixty-third Congress.
Men Who Pepper Routine
What a dreary place would be the
House, for instance, were it not for the
almost daily speeches of Uncle Joe
Cannon, who talks of the power of the
majority. Of 9OOOOOOO people, of the ini-
guilty of insurgency and who bangs the
desk and shouts thankfully, thank God,
I'm not that sort OF a Republican"
And "old Doc" Akin; What will the
"expunging committee" do. IL the man
without a party isn't here to insert
speeches in the Record, only to have
them expunged because he has been too
vitriolic in his criticism of certain pub
lie officials whom Mr.. Akin regards as
about as useless as the vermiform ap-
pendix?

Washington Is already assured OF
missing 4 few OF them. Certain MEM
hers have announced their retirement
from politics FOR business reasons,
the aforesaid reasons being the activi-
ties of the Bull Moose and the rather
chaotic state of affairs in certain dis
tricts.

whip, for instance. says he doesn't de-

It's tough that member of the House
must stand for reelection every two
years. A senator waits six and in the
interim he has opportunity to get the
Legislature in the habit of eating out
of his hand.
Just about the time mere member
OF the House gets accustomed to his
seat, and decides that he likes the
Speaker, and that Washingtonu is a
nice place to live in. and that he is
going to get a bill through session after
next. there comes paper from home
reading:
The Bugle is authorized TO announce
that the Hon. Joseph Binks is a candi-
date for Congress against Congressman
Hank Spuds. Mr.. Binks' opening an
nouncement claims that Congressman
Spuds has been grossly negligent Of
his duties, that he has done nothing
for his district. and that he has missed
forty three roll calls when the fate OF
his country was at stake. Mr.. Blinks
will open his campaign at Spudsville on
the 10th instant"

fraught with trouble, and we shalT miss

PRESIDENT MAY Be
CALLED UPON TO
ADJOURN CONGRESS
Can Act in Case the Dead
lock Now on Should
Continue.

With the deadlock still on between
the House and Senate over. the defioi.
ency appropriation DILL there are rumors
at the Capitol today that the President
may feel called upon to exercise hi.
constitutional right and prorogue Con.
gress.
1t Is admitted however, that thi,
, drastic remedy would be employed on.y
In the event that the deadlock becomes
interminable, and House leaders arr
still insisting that the Senate will re
cede during the day on the general de.
ficiency bill and that adjournment will
come not later than tonight.
The House again marked time this
afternoon, and the adjournment OF
Congress depends entirely upon the out
come of the Senate filibuster. 1t is be-
lieved that the Senate will yield within
the next few hours, that the general
deficiency bill will be passed, and that
the Penrose campaign contribution reso-
, luton will also be adopted.
Senate leaders are still attempting to
persuade Senators Chamberlain, john
son, Martin, and Culberson to back
down on their demand that the general
deficiency bill shall continue provision
for the payment of claims of the States
\ of oregon. Texas, Maryland, and Vir-
ginia
Expect Senate to Yield.
Speaker Clark and Congressman Un-
derwood said this afternoon they ex-
pected the session to end within the
next few hours and that the Senate
finally would yield on the State claims
mentioned.
The Senate double filibuster was in.
terrupted today by the interjection OF
the charges concerning the election of
Senators Chiffon and Watson of West
Virginia.
Stirring scenes were enacted in the
Senate, while the House killed time lis
tening to verbal feud between Con-
gressman Burnett of Alabama and Con.
cerning emigration legislation. Mr..
Focht used such vigorous language in
objecting to the speech which Mr.. Bur-
nett had inserted in the Record ra-
marks of the Pennsylvania member
were expunged on a point of order.
Weary legislators at the Capitol to-
day looked up that section of the Con-
dent to adjourn Congress in the event
OF disagreement over adjournmen mt
between the two Houses. The par
ticular section of the Constitution
reads:
President Has Power.
THE President may. on extraordi-
nary occasions, convene both Houses
or either of them, and in case of dis.
agreement between them with respect
to the time of adjournment he may
adjourn them to such time as he shall
deem proper"
The House adopted Saturday night a
resolution to adjourn the session Sun
day morning at o'clock. The Senate
declined to act upon the resolution
and the technical question now arises
whether such non action amounts to
such a disagreement as the Constitu.
tion mentions.
Nevertheless the possibility of arbi
trary action by the President VISA dis
cusse dat the Capitol today and mem
bers of the House particularly probably
would sanction such a course II tn,
deadlock continues
The House Is standing absolutely pa
on the general deficiency bill and IL tn,
expected adjournment occurs tonight /
will be brought about by the abandon
ment of the double filibuster in tn,

HOMELESS FEL|NES
ARE NOW SCARCE IN
CAPITAL Of NATION
Abandoned Cats Are Soon
Picked Up and Put to
Death at Pound.

Never before have there been so few
homeless and starving felines in Wash
ington as there are today.
In former years when the family left
for vacation, the cat, unless given in
charge of an obliging neighbor, was
forced to eke out a precarious existence
until it's return. Oftentimes the result
was the demise of the cat. In the
struggle for existence the family pet.
accustomed to its daily meals, was un-
able to compete with the alley cat,
whose living depends upon ravages
made upon the refuse cans in back
yards.
Now when the question arises what
shall we do with the cat?" the problem
is solved by summoning the pound
wagon. Instead of lingering starvation
the cat meets with a quick and painless
death at the hands of the District au-
thorities.
Although acting as executioner
Poundmaster Kuhn in reality is the
feline's friend. Since July /, the date of
the Commissioners edict providing fol
the impoundment of stray cats, 3,0O(
animals have lost all their nine lives
at the hands of the poundmaster.
Were II not for this, however, many
of the cats would have died Of starva-
ton and neglect.
All of the animals have been collected
on request. Although the Commission
ers' regulation calls for the impound-
ment of all felines running at large
the poundmaster has been so busily en-
gagged in answering telephone calls as
TO leave no time for the spreading of his
nets for the unwary.
Approval is given by the Washington
Cat Club to the destruction of the home
less cats, II being a policy long urged
by members of the club.
