Pomerene Urges More.

Senator Pomerene thought the general
rule fixing a years pay proper COM
pensation in such cases ought not to be
q guide in this case.
I'VE do not need to be embarrassed be-
cause of the fact that we may be, for the
time being, setting aside that statute. -
he remarked. I'VE did that about two
weeks ago in this chamber. We had a
general statute providing that the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia
should receive annual salaries of $1,000
each. In the face of that statute We
passed an appropriation bill increasing
their salaries for the ensuing year to
5000 each.
1T seems to me that if We can increase
the salaries of the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia in the face of a gen.
eral statute on the subject, it ought not
to embarrass US to allow this young
woman a few hundred dollars more be-
cause of the fact that there is general
statute limiting the amount which the
government sees fit to pay"
1t was on the close vote of 16 to II that
the proposal to make the amount 81, SOC
was defeated; and after that the Bristow
plan for 81, 200 was adopted without divi-
sion.

search hope to obtain an authoritative

Crawford Protests.

Senator Crawford protested against the
larger amount. Many claims for personal
injuries come before Congress. he said,
and the compensation granted is not as
large as the amount proposed He cited
one case after another to show the gen.
eral policy of fixing the amount of COM
pensat;on. But Senator Swanson, who
had stood by Mr.. Marines amendment,
replied that the fact that inadequate COM
pensation had been made in other cases
would not justify it in this case.
Il sympathize with this young lady,
remarked Senator Crawford, land we will
give her money enough so that she can
get a very handsome wig and she will
yet position somewhere in few
months" That aroused Senator MARITIME.
IT feel that it is sad and most unfor-
tunate for the glory and manhood and
dignity of this great Senate" he COM
mented that the senator from South
Dakota should have made the suggestion
of wig for this young woman. Think
of il. j realize of course that she might
wear a wig. So she might use a cork
leg; she might use pair of false teeth
or a glass eye. But, great heavens, what
a spectacle! I trust the senator will with
draw that suggestion before it ever gets
into cold type"

AID FOR MISS HOUCHTON
NOW RESTS WITH HOUSE
Senate Passes Measure Civ
ing ZOO to Girl ScaIped
at Census Office.

Whether the government is going to
extend aid to Miss Alice v. Houghton. the
young census office clerk whose scalp was
torn off by machinery while she was at
work in the bureau more than year
ago. and who still is suffering from the
injuries, rests with the House. The
Senate yesterday afternoon, after de-
batting the claims of the stricken girl
for three hours, voted her $1,000, to be
paid at the rate of $50 per month, and
not to be subject to attachment on the
part of physicians or others.
An earnest plea was made in the Sen
ate to increase the amount to $500.
$1,000 to be paid in a lump sum and the
remainder to be at the rate of SO per
month. and Senators MARITIME of New
Jersey, Root OF New York, Swanson of
Virginia and Pomerene of Ohio pictured
the intense suffering of Miss Houghton
over many months and her life disfig-
urement in urging the increase.

Following the DIR. James affair Dr.
Funk said he had arranged to send mes
sa gess from the next world after his
death and had completed improved ar
rangements, basing them on Dr. Hyslop's
experience with DIR. James.
I'VE have determined on a certain code
of signals which no one on earth konws
but the person to whom / will communal
cate and myself said DIR. Funk att the
time. IF he receives one of these sig
nails after my death he will be absolutely
certain by 1t that have reached him. He
will then establish communication with
me. either through designated medium
or by some means which j may find in
the next world AS / am a much older
man than he is, there is every probability
that ] will die before he does. and while
he is actively engaged in his occult stud

While Dr. Funk would not indicate the
reach from spirit world it was believed
that IL is DR.. Hyslop- The latter Is edi-
tor of the Journal of the American So
ciety for Psychical Research, and was
DR.. Funks closest friend and co-worker
in spiritualistic Investigations.
Exposed the Takers.
Ii was DR.. Funk who first told of the
agreement between Prof. James and Dr.
Hyslop. At that time DIR. Funk said
that DIR. Hyslop had received a positive
communication from Prof. James, who
then had been dead only a few weeks.
Or. Funk had been most conscientious
and scientific investigator of spiritualism,
exposing all fakes where he found them
and crediting in many writings the mani
festations which his scientific research
had demonstrated to his own satisfaction
to be true.
He and DR.. Hyslop had collaborated in
their Investigations, finding many persons
they described as true mediums and ex-
posing others.
DR.. Funk, who was president of the
publishing firm of Funk & Wagnalls
and noted for more than a quarter of a
century a prohibitionist and reform
leader, died from acute indigestion.

the passage of the bill giving So. 800 in a

and providing it should be paid in month.
ly installments of $50 Senator Crawford
chairman of the claims committee. &C
cepted the amendment Then began the
efforts to increase the amount.
Senator MARITIME declared that the sum
proposed by the JOO-Was
entirely inadequate.
'Inasmuch as this young woman was In
the discharge of her duty Senator Mar
tin remarked. working at machine
supplied by the great government of the
United States. with whrling shaft with
projecting Spindles in front of 1T, un'
guarded and unprotected. making 1t per-
fectly natural and likely that her hair OF

that it becomes the duty of the United
States government to be more than sim
ply just and decent: it becomes Its duty
to be liberal in this matter.
LAS has been said this young woman s
scalp may grow, but the crowning glory
of a woman, her locks, will never be re-
stored. Who would sacrifice his scalp and
his hair for the pittance that is offered
$4,000?
When he moved that the amount be in
creased to $500 applause swept through
the galleries.
Senator Root declared the sum pro-
posed by Senator MARITIME was not too
large.
1T now is more than a year during
which this young woman has been en-
during the most deadful sufferingS,' Mr..
Root added. she is only now beginning
to be on the road to recovery; she must
suffer long before she can be restored;
her restoration cannot be complete; she
will be disfigured for life. The case is
one which could not be found in any
schedule the senator from Utah has pre-
pared. 1t is quite unlike anything that
appears in the schedules of the work

think that we are going too far or going
beyond the limits of justice and that rea-
