On account Of the bad weather yes
terday little of the real work that
was planned was disposed of The
regimental parade was practically Civ
en- up until the hour Of the parade ar
rived, and then it was found possible
to execute it. This parade proved to
be excellently done. It was witnessed
by a large number of Las Vegas citi-
zens despite the bad weather. Colonel
Abbott also examined the camp dur
ing the afternoon.
Tom Flores, a resident of Las ve,'
gas, yesterday afternoon took trip to
Camp Mcdonald and carried with him
a gun, evidently wishing to put up a
appearance. While at the
camp he had a desire to display his
ability to handle a GUN and began
flourishing the weapon. Captain Hun
ter, the officer of the day, at once
placed Flores under arrest. Flores
wife, hearing that her spouse had
been captured by the soldiers, at once
made a trip to the camp and visited
the officers to plead for her husband.
Flores, after being reprimanded sew
erely for his actions, was released. He
went home with his faithful wife The
officers say this may be an exam
pie for some people Everybody
should understand before visiting the
camp that they have no authority to
be there unless their behavior is good.
Flores might have received a Jail
sentence had the officers seen fit to

PORK BARREL PLAN
EVOLVED BY LEADERS
New Committee May Be Created in
House to Handle Good
Roads Question.

A new pork barrel plan designed to
relieve the Treasury of more millions
has been evolved by Democratic leaders
of the House. 1t is embodied in a reso-
luton, which the Rules Committee has
agreed to report, providing for the crea-
ton of a new committee to which all
bills authorizing appropriations for good
roads shall be referred.
1t is the understanding that this reso-
luton will be given approval by the
Democratic caucus and that it will b
passed at this session. Sentiment FOL
appropriations by Congress for good
roads is growing and it is believed that
within year or SO an omnibus high
way bill will be one of the features of
every session. At least, this is the hope
of the good roads advocates in the
House.
The possibilities of extravaganza m an
omnimus highway bill are practically
without limit, and the economists shiver
every time they think of it. 1t is agreed
that IL the committee as proposed Is
created that it only will be few years
when the appropriations for good roads.
apportioned among the States according
to population, will run into the millions.

CHANGE. OF SENTIMENT HERE

Representative J. Thomas Heain of
Alabama yesterday announced that poll
OF his fellow members. which he has just
taken. shows that the majority in the
House against "votes for women is FIVE
to one. He adds that the sentiment in
the Senate, according to his advicea is
almost as overwhelmingly opposed to
woman suffrage.
Recent developments in the fight for
woman suffrage have opened the eyes Of
Congress as they have opened the eyes
OF intelligent men throughout the coun-
try" said Mr.. Helm. Thinking men
are beginning to realize that the agita-
ton in behalf of votes for women is one
of the gravest perils menacing the well
fare of the country today. The men of
Michigan awoke to the situation a few
weeks ago. Equal outrage. which was
defeated In Michigan last fall by only
100 votes was showed under this spring
by a majority -ef almost 100000. This
amazing change Of sentiment was duo TO
