Committee on Rules.
The SABBATH investigation is for the pur-
pose OF taking up all of the various pen

in the House since the agitation in favor
OF the retirement of aged government
clerks began. At the present time there
are schemes by which the government

NEW EXCISE BILL
OFFERED In SENATE
Substitute Measure Prepared by the
Commissioners May Lead
to Compromise.

The bill prepared by the District Com
missioners as a substitute for the Works
measure. restricting saloon licenses in
the District, was yesterday introduced in
the Senate by Senator Curtis for Senator
Dillingham;, in whose name the measure
was entered. The bill was referred to
the District Committee, whence It may
be referred to the subcommittee on liquor
legislation.
While the Commissioners substitute
probably will not be adopted in its en-
tirety. it will lead to a compromise by
which the reduction of saloons to the
number of 100, as proposed by Senator
Works, will not be accepted. Senator
Works said yesterday that the number
Of saloons which will be allowed to con-
tinue in business will be larger than was
originally proposed by him.
The Commissioners propose to increase
the liquor licenses for retail houses to
5000, and limit the number of saloons
doing business TO 513, the total now doing
business in the city. Furthermore, they
to steamboats, by the city authorities
The measure. of course, would have no
effect other than to prevent the sale OF
liquor an steamers within the District.
Whether the measure will be given spe-
cial hearings is not known. Senator
Works, of California. author OF the bill
which is to be reported to the District
Committee, explained yesterday that he
didsnot know what course the new meas
ure would take.

SENATORS FAVOR
LORIMER ELECTION
Technical Defense on Case Wins in
Committee by 5 to 8
Vote.

After a stormy session, lasting three
hours, yesterday. the Senate committee
investigating the election of Senator
Lorimer decided, by a vote of to 3, to
exonerate Lorimer of the charges of cor
ruption, on the ground that, having once
been tried and acquitted, the Senator
could not again be placed in jeopardy OF
his seat by the Senate.
The committee did not go into the
merits of the case. During the long ses-
sion Senators Kern, Lea, and Kenyon.
who voted against Lorimer, endeavored
10 have the committee consider the case
on its merits, instead OF the technical
defense interposed by Judge Hanecy,
chief counsel for Lorimer, that the Sena-
tor. once having been acquitted of the
charge, could not again be placed in
jeopardy of losing his seat
They were unable, however to bring
the vote on the merit basis, and when
the question was submitted Senators Dill
lingham. Gamble, Fletcher, Johnston, and
Jones took the stand that the Senate no
longer has any right to question the
Of Lorimer's claim to his seat.

HOUSE OPPOSES
POISON MATCHES
Bill Prohibiting Use of White and
Yellow Phosphorus Is Passed.
Taft Favors Measure.

The Hughes bill. which seeks TO elimi-
nate, through the exercise of the Federal
taxing power, the use of white and yellow
phosphorus in the manufacture OF
matches, was passed by the House of
Representatives yesterday. This bill has
the approval Of President Taft, who in
a message TO Congress In December last
invited attention to the diseases that
affiict persons employed in match fac
tories where poisonous phosphorus Is
used in the process OF manufacture.
The Hughes bill imposes a tax Of .
cents on every 100 matches In which
white or yellow phosphorus is used.
This tax is intended TO be prohibitive,
and IL concurred in by the Senate and
approved by the President. 1t Is expected
to result in preventing the continuance Of
the use of white phosphorus in the
of matches.
In the report on the Hughes bill sub
mitted to the House. II was pointed out
that in fifteen factories investigated
by the Bureau Of Labor s. per
cent Of the employees were in con-
slant danger of phosphorus poisoning.
Many OF these employees were found to be
suffering from what is known as-'phossy
Jaw" Others were found 10 be suffering
from anemia and brittle bones.

ONE BICYCLE FOR
TWO COMMISSIONS
Interstate Commerce and Civil
Service Bodies Send Re-
ports to Senate.

The first results of the series of resolu-
tions recently introduced in the Senate
by Senator Brlstow for the purpose OF
learning how many government-owned
vehicles are operated by private officials
in the Federal or municipal employ. were
obtained yesterday when reports from
the Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Civil Service Commission disclosed
the fact that one bicycle is owned by the
latter body.
The reports Of the Public Printer, the
Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
and the District Commissioners have yet
TO be received. 1t is from the last named
that Senator Bristow expects to get
evidence of the overplus of privately
operated. government-owned vehicles.
In replying TO the Senate's requet for
information, John II. Marble. secretary
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
said that that body had no vehicles oper-
ated by any of its employees. Gen. John
c. Black. president Of the Civil Service
Commission. recorded the ownership Of
one bicycle, which is used by a messen-
ger on official business.
