Representative Randen Says Mem
bers Arc "ApproachabIe.,

Alleging that members of Congress are
too ''approachable" and too often in
fluenced by private connections, Repre-
sentative Randell, of Texas, delivered
a speech in the House yesterday in
which he urged immediate action on his
bill to prevent any member of Congress
from accepting fees or employment from
corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce.
'sThe presumption is,'' he said, that
practically every man in this House is
in the employment of somebody who
wants his services. Aud I have no
doubt that investigation would show that
the majority Of the members OF this
House and of Congress are having en-
ployment to-day which the passage of

tIon Protest to Senators.

A delegation from Porto Rico. protest.
ing against free sugar. were introduced
TO the Senate Finance Committee by
Secretary Of War Stimson yesterday. 1t
was recognized. Secretary Stimson said,
that Porto Rico would be a permanent
part of the territory OF the United

this country on the American standard
of prices, he added, and II would be
cruel to destroy sugar and coffee, the
chief industries of the island. while
requiring them to buy at high prices.
Seventy-five per cent Of the exports.
according TO Mr.. Stimson. were of sugar
and coffee, and both Industries would
be destroyed II the United States placed

sCALPED GIRL IS
AWARDED $4,000
Senate Passes Special Claim
for Alice Houghton, In
iured a Year Ago.
BRIsToW OPPOSES BILL

Following a spirited debate. during
which Senator Bristow, Of Kansas, pro-
tested that the government should not
be held guilty of negligence, the Senate
yesterday voted Alice Houghton, the for
mer employe of the Census Bureau. who
was scalped more than a year ago. the
sum OF s4.20O to be paid at the rate OF
so a month for seven years
Though Senator Bristow and several
others offered formal protest against the
expenditure of the money on the ground
that the government was not responsible
and had already done justice by the girl,
the vote to pay her special annuity
was practically unanimous.
Crawford Offers Bill.
The bill providing for the compensa-
ton was offered by Senator Crawford.
chairman OF the Senate Committee on
Claims. He was one OF the principal ad-
vocates Of the measure yesterday, de-
claring that the shock to the girl which
prevented her from working for the time
being, combined with the many debts her
family had been forced to contract, made
il imperative that the government aid
her.
Senators Root, Works, Gronna, and
MARITIME were among those to discuss the
measure. Senator MARITIME made a strong
plea for the passage OF the special claim
basing his remarks on the previous state
ment of Senator Bristow that the govern
ment had expended 1880 for the services
OF physicians during the past year.
MARITIME Makes Plea.
Il have records in my possession" said
Senator MARITIME. showing that this
girls expenses made necessary by the
efforts TO save her life and the long
course of treatment following the acci-
dent, have amounted to more than s.. 500
or this the government has paid 81. 800
Miss HoughtOn's father is an elderly man
of moderate means. and II will be some
time before she will have sufficiently re-
covered from the shock of her accident
to work.
This is no ordinary accident, and there
is no danger Of setting an expensive
precedent by voting this girl her claim.
Another girls scalp will not be torn from
her head every week in the month or
every month in the year, or once In
hundred years, for that matter. And
think the Senators will sleep better II
they vote this girl a sum which will
pay her debts and keep her from want
until she is able to support herself
Wants Bills Paid.
Senator Works declared that the SEN
ate should see that all physicians bills
were paid. at any rate. He expressed his
belief that the Committee on Claims
coulc determine what was a fair sum to
pay physicians and could see that they
received their dues.
Miss Houghton, who lives at 2o1I Kali
Drama road, has been treated In unsuc-
cessful attempts to graft a new scalp
for more than a year.

Talk Of Intervention in Cuba has been

Pan-American Union, who is now in

THE government of the United States

Congress and the masses of the people
Of the United States are sincerely de-
sirous Of forever avoiding intervention.
Likewise 1t can be assumed that the
government of Cuba and the Cuban peo-
pie correspondingiy do not want II. The
danger, however, lies in each govern
ment and among each people in that
class of men who speak unthinkingly

which always does harm. and in those
who place personal advancement and in
