ARREST TWO more GETS MESSAGE DATA
President to Send Two Docu-
ments to Congress.
ONE ON DISTRICT AFFAIRS
Other Will Be Comment on Report
of the Postal Rate
Commission.

President Taft was busy in his Office
today gathering data for two forth
coming messages to Congress. One of
these will be on District affairs and
the other will accompany the report of
the postal rate commission. of which
Associate Justice Hughes is chairman.
The report of this commission was sub
mitted to the President several weeks
ago. and as he is especially interested
in postal matters. he probably will not
content himself with brief letter of
transmittal but will write an extended
message, in which he will discuss the
recommendations Of the postal COM
mission
The commission resulted from a fight
between the President and Postmaster
General Hitchcock on one side, they ia
voring an increase In second-class postal
rates. and the periodical publishers, who
opposed the proposed increase on the
ground that it was not needed or desirs
able A compromise was reached prOvid-
ing for commission to make an investi-
CATION of the STABILITY of the proposed
increase.
The commission held hearings in New
York and elsewhere during the last year
and the testimony taken fills nine large
volumes. The postal message proba bly,
will go to Congress within the next few
weeks.
Matters Affecting District.
The District message. on which the
President is also working. will include
number of general topics Of interest to
the welfare Of the people of the District.
Whitelaw Reid. American ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, called on Presi-
dent Taft to pay his respects and bid
him goodbye before leaving to re-
turn to his post at London. Mr.. Reid
left Washington for New York late
this afternoon. He will sail for Eng
land tomorrow.

machinery, near which she was working

Senator Bristow's Plan.
Senator Bristow announced today
that he thought that Miss Houghton
should be paid in accordance with the
general idea of equitable worKmen's
compensation and employers liability,
as evolved by the joint commission Of
congress now investigating that very
subject 1t Is the plan of the COM
mission to draft bill which will fix,
IN general terms. the compensation to
be paid employees of the government
for injuries they receive in the line of
their duties.
investigation OF that subject has been
made. Senator Bristow points out, and he
wishes to consult with the members of
the commission in the perfecting of his
amendment fixing the compensation for
Miss Houghton.
Some idea Of the rates of compensation
favored by the commission is obtained
from the tentative draft of bill fixing
the compensation in the case of employees
Of common carriers. Where there is per
manent total disability that bill provides,
the injured employe is to be paid 80 per
cent OF the wages he was receiving at the
time OF his injury for the remainder of
his life.
Where there Is temporary total disabil-
ity. the same rate of compensation Isl to
be paid during the period Of the disability.
The rate for permanent partial disability.

Favors Installment Plan.

Senator Bristow said today he did not
know whether or not the amount to be
paid Miss Houghton under such a plan
would be greater than $4,000. proposed
by the Senate claims committee. But
he believes that payment to her in in,
stallments instead Of in a lump sum,
continued during her disability would
prove of more value to her.

Motion photography is lacking in nothing that will make for the betterment oi human nature The better the pic tures, the more impressive the les son, and the Lyrics reels are the best At the Lyric today there is a feature that is one of the most inn- pressive seen here this month. It is entitled 'In the Shadow of the Cross and the lesson it teaches, the hope it holds out, the desire for cleaner living cannot be surpassed. It is powerful in is silent doctrine.
 "The Ranger and His Horse" is one of those wild west reels that takes one from the interior out to the broad expanse of rolling pTairies. it shows the devotion of the cowboy for his horse and the affection the animal has for him, his best friend. There is a feature in this reel that reaches home and teaches one that kindness towards dumb brutes can be extended always with profit.
