GAG BROUGHT IN
ON PENDING BILL
Continued From First Page.)

that the democrats are making some
amazing rules to further their legislation.
I'VE now have a rule before us which
abrOgates g. standing rule of the House
and prevents q point Of order against a
bill of 1876 pages. which may have all
sorts Of Objectionable features"
He said the rules of the democratic
House ought to be repealed entirely.
1.-THE whole county," he declared, will
rise up against that provision for reclass-
flying the civil service, and against that
inhuman proposal to throw out on the
world all clerks of sixty-fve years OF age
or over
Representative Mann of Illinois also at
tackled the gag.
1T makes in order an appropriation not
authorized by law. 1t also makes in
order all sorts OF new propositions; and
gives the democrats q chance to dodge
q roll-call vote" he said.
BY this rule you show cowardice and
that you are afraid to go on record on
the propositions Of your bill.
Representative Johnson Of South Car
olina, author Of the bill, said in reply:
'The committee proposes to strike out
sixty-five years and make people in
classified service eligible as long as
they are able to do good work. We
are trying to do something-not in a
cowardly way. We are willing to
strike out the 1914 provision and insert
1917 as the date for the ending OF pres
ent appointments, so that two presi-
Dental elections shall have passed.
Il don't care how long the ONCE
tenure is, five years or ten. but there
Is no authority for a life term"

Loose. Window Stills.

From the New York Sun.
A little boy who was looking at new
brick house the other day told his father
that they had forgotten to fasten the win
dow stills down, as there was no mortar
under any OF them.
The reason that the window stills in a
brick wall are left without any mortar
under them is to prevent them from being
broken in two at the middle. AS all
houses settle a little after they are first
built. the piers at the side Of the windows
would press the ends of the window stills
down, and IL the middle was held up by
bricks and mortar the sill would break In
two.
It is sometimes a very difficult thing
to avoid this tendency OF the settling to
crack stone stills or plinths some time aft
er the building Is finished. If you ever go
to the Library Of Congress at washington
and look at the plinths under the beautiful
Corinthian columns Of white marble IN
the main entrance hall you will see tnat
most of them have been cracked IN that
way, and it was imp ossible to take them
out and put in plinth and base IN one
piece without taking down the wnoie
building.

MAN AND BRIDE FOUND DEAD.
Poison May Have Dropped Into
Cooking Utensils.

CHICAGO. May 4.-charles ]. Renshaw
and his bride Of ten weeks last night
were found dead in their cottage. on Will
cox avenue. into which they had just
moved. Investigation has so far failed
to reveal the cause Of the deaths.
The couple. according to friends, had
carefully selected their furniture and had
arranged it in the manner planned since
the day of their marriage.
1t was first thought they had been
asphyxiated by gas heater, and later
accidental poisoning was suspected. Two
coffee cups partially filled were found on
the dining table, and 1t was thought that
in moving the Renshaws had accidentally
dropped poison among their cooking
utensils
The Renshaws are said to have appeared
happy, and the theory Of suicide Is
secuted by their friends. They appeared
to have been dead for at least twenty
four hours.
