ECHO WEARS HOLES
IN KANSAS CANYON

Topeka, Kans.. Feb. 3-Si Ransom, a
cowboy OF ComPnche County. says,
according to the Capital. that up on the
canyons in the northeast part OF the
county there is an echoing canyon. That
is II one goes in there and let's out a
veil, for example. the sound will bound
over against the other side Of the canyon
and rebound to the original yeller like
a rubber ball. II will Just keep on bound
ing back and forth from one side OF the
canyon to the other. 81 says, until 1t
finally wears itself out 81 has a deep
bass voice and can yell so that he will
wake up the people In the next township.
HeNwent into the echOing canyon one
day, so he tells the story. and let out
the best yell he had in him. When the
sound hit the opposite Side of the can
yon 1t knocked OF chunk of gypsum as
large as a washtub and then bounded
back to the other side. Then 81 went
away and left that yell Just bounding back
and forth from one side to the other.
He was called away on the spring
and didn't get back to the can
yon until the next fall When he got
there the yell was still echoing right
along, but by that time II had worn down
till IL was only a soft whisper. II had
worn holes, however. in both sides Of the
canyon. On one side the hole was five
feet deep and on the other side, where
the rock was harder, the hole was only
four feet deep.

HARMON'S BOOM"
HAS LOCAL HOME
Headquarters Opened at the Ebbitt
to Further Aims of Presi-
Dental Candidate.

The Harmon Presidential boom was
formally launched in Washington last
night at a meeting of the Democratic
members of the Ohio Congressional dele
cation at the Ebbitt House. II was de-
cided to oben headquarters in Washing
ton. which will be continued until the
date OF the Democratic convention at
Baltimore.
Senator Atlee Pomerene presided at
last nights meeting. following which
there was given to the press a state
ment telling OF the enthusiasm and har-
mony that prevailed at the gathering.
The meeting" says the report, was
unanimous in resenting tho charges which
have been made and sent broadcast over
the country that Gov. Harmon was not
a progressive. II was the sentiment that
the big representation of sixteen Demo-
Gratis IN Congress was due to the fact
that he was strong enough as a pro-
gressive executive to help put them there,
ano that all the charges that had been
made against Gov. Harmon were made
prior to his last election. and that his
reelection by over 100000 majority an
swered the charge finally as to where he
lies IN the hearts OF his people. Further
proof Of this, It was pointed out, was
TO be found in the result of recent mu-
nicipal elections in=Ohio and the election
OF Democratic majority to the consti
tutional convention. which clearly dsn-
onstrates that he still holds his full
strength with. the people OF Ohio
Lieut. Gov. Nichols. Of Ohio, Is ex-
pected to reach Washington tomorrow
to outline work for the Harmon head
quarters.

HOUSE CONSIDERS
HAY ARMY BILL
General Debate Is Begun on $50.
100000 Appropriation
Measure.

The House yesterday began general
debate on the army appropriation bill,
which carries approximately $4,000, 600.
No limit was set on the debate, and the
bill probably will not be passed until
the latter part Of this week, owing to
the Republican opposition to the Hay
plan to reorganize the army.
In presenting the bill yesterday Repre-
sentative Hay made an exhaustive anaIy-
sis OF the measure and defended the
changes proposed in the administration
OF the army. He declared the creation
Of supply corps, a service corps, and
the consolidation of several bureaus in
the department would effect economy,
as would likewise the change Of the term
of enlistment to fve years.
Representative Lewis of Maryland, de-
hvered a speech in favor of his bill to
have the government acquire express
companies and to inaugurate an express
package post. He attacked the rates
of express companies as being exorbitant.
After bitter partisan debate at the
opening of the session, the Democrats
put through an amendment to the rules
giving motions TO suspend the rules pre-
cedence over motions to discharge COM
mittees from consideration of pigeon
holed bills. Republicans attacked the
on the ground that II nulH-
fed the calendar to discharge committees
anD gave the Speaker and the House
n-achine opportunity TO pass bills under
a suspension of the rules. as was the
former practice.

CHAMP CLARK
OPENS QUARTERS
His Campaign Will Be Directed by
q Committee Located in
Chicago.

Chicago. Feb. 3.-E. z. Campbell, of
Alton, was in Chicago to-day and closed
contract with the Hotel Sherman for
rooms On the parlor floor, where he will
open headquarters for Champ Clark. He
has called a meeting Of the Champ
Clark men for next week. Down-State
editors and leaders will come to Chicago.
ana an executive committee will be
named.
Mr.. Campbell is editor of the Alton
Daily Times and came from Missouri,
where he conducted a newspaper in
Speaker Clark's district for thirteen
years. He said:
speaker Clark occupies the most i'm
portant position filled by any Democrat
since Cleveland's time. AS a part Of his
Efforts, which converted a Democratic
minority into Democratic majority in
Congress, he delivered an address at the
last Illinois Democratic State convention.
Predictions he there made have since
come true He is strong, and has been,
in the East as well as in the West, for
many years, as is shown by the fact
that he was permanent chairman OF the
Democratic national convention in 1904.
During the last twenty years he has
made Democratic speeches in Chicago
and Illinois in every campaign, and Is
personally known to more Democrats in
Illinois than any other candidate for the
Democratic nomination. He has been in
dorsed in the Congressional districts of
Kansas, which he helped to turn Demo-
cratic, and when he carries Missouri trf-
as he is certain to do Febru-
airy 20, and two days later secures the
Oklahoma delegation, we confidently ex-
pect his Presidential stock TO take a
strong shoot upward"

the meantime, and announced that any
person who violated this instruction would
be held to be in contempt Of the commit

conclusion OF the announcement, and a
deputy sergeant-at-arms led him away.

physical and nervous collapse for several
days

for a few minutes, examining the note
book, he returned to the reporters table
and resumed his work.

The Roosevelt supporters, he said, are

the negligence Of the Presidents sup
porters He stated that the only effec-
tive Taft organization was spontaneous,

titular head for the Presidents organi-
zation.

House Committee on Commerce op.
posed to Republic at the
Canal Zone.

The first authentic statement as to
the attitude OF, the House COMMITTEES
on Commerce with respect to the Iegis-
lation that must be enacted this ses-.
sion Affecting Panama Canal tolls and
the operation OF the Canal Zone was
made yesterday by Representative Ste.
vens. OF Minnesota, Secretary OF War

engineer in construction. have been
requested TO appear before the COM.
mittee this week. -.
THE consensus of opinion ls," said
Mr.. Stevens, yesterday. that the pres
ent form of government for the Canal
Zone should be continued. There
should be but one responsible head,
who should have charge of the opera
tion Of the canal and the government
Of the territory. which would practi-
cally be denuded Of settlers"
Mr.. Stevens admitted that there are
many people who desire to have an
ideal republic on q small scale to pop
ulate the Canal Zone and to encourage
settlers In that territory to furnish
fresh supplies for shipping.
But the chances are" he said, 'that
the form OF government recommended
by Col Goethals for one responsible
head, with the country vacant, will be
edOilCu Ing reason
for this is that the land Is not suitable
for good cultivation, and that the cost
and risk would far exceed the benefits"
Mr.. Stevens asserts that the canal,
when completed and fortified, will cost
about 500. 900 900; that the cost OF opera
ton, maintenance, regulation, and pro-
lection. including interest on investment,
will be about 50, 900, 900 a year; and that
the maintenance OF a sufiicient military
and naval defensive force may In the
future cost indirectly $4o.o00.o0o

that this vast annual expenditure from
our Treasury should be donated to the
world. The world commerce does not
seek or need such donation. On the con-
trary, every sensible person realizes that
the commerce which Is 50 much bene- |
fted by this great canal should bear its |
full share OF the expense Of operating |
and maintaining it, and ultimately in |
paying for it,

SENATOR HEPBURN
RAPS STEPHENSON
Huge Fund Spent During Election
Called Violation of Principles
of the Constitution.

In a scathing report, during which he
referred to the extravagance OF Senator
Stephenson during his election campaign
as violating the fundamental principles
underlying our system of government"
Senator Hepburn. chairman Of the Sen
ate Committee on Privileges apd EIec-
tions, gave vent TO his personal views
yesterday. He said. in part:
The amount OF money expended BY
Mr.. Stephenson, Mr.. Cook, Mr.. Hatton,
and Mr.. McGovern in the primary cam
paign was so extravagant and the ex-
penditures made by and on behalf of
these gentlemen were made with such
reckless disregard OF propriety as TO
justify the sharpest criticism. Such
expenditures were in violation OF the
fundamental principles underlying our
system Of government, which contem-
plated the selection of candidates by The
electors and not the selection Of the
electors by the candidate.
Regardless OF any statute recurring
that strict accounts be kept Of money
expended by and on behalf OF candI-
dates. candidate and every man rep
resenting him should know that public
opinion would expect the parties 10
place and maintain themselves In a DO
sition so that II any OF their acts ySe-e
A~~-N-N-
to the extent OF giving every detail in
regard thereto"
Ex-Representative Charles z. LIttIeheId.
OF Maine, counsel for Senator Stephenson,
laid down a proposition that put him IN
conflict with most OF the members OF
the committee. Mr.. Little field contended
that the proof of corrupt influences upon
the primary election, II admitted, was
not sufficient to give Congress jurisdic-
ton over the case. He declared that the
primary was simply advisory. It did not
change the status II the primary was a
legal primary.
Because" said Mr.. LittIefeld. the
Constitution has prescribed the manner
OF electing Senators. You cannot amend
the Constitution by an act OF Congress
or State legislature"
Senator Luke Lea took issue with this
view. Even Senator Gamble, a conserva-
tive, thought this untenable. To further
develop Mr.. Littlefleld's position, Senator
Gamble asked what the lawyer would
say II corruption wero conclusiveIy
shown to have existed in a legislative
and that the result Of the caucus
influenced the result in the legislature.
