ARMY CANTEEN MOVE
FAILS IN THE HOUSE
Point of Order Throws Amendment Out
of the Appropriation
R,II

Washington, Jan. 20.-Representative
Bartholdt of Missouri Saturday sought
to have the House restore the army can
teen, but his amendment to the army
bill making such provision was thrown
out on a point of order.
Mr.. Bartholdt coupled the restoration
of the canteen feature with an amend
ment reducing the appropriation for
army post exchanges from $4,000 to
$4,000, on the theory that the can
teen would be cheaper to maintain than
the present shops where soft drinks are
dispensed.
He argued that the two measures, cou-
pied together. constituted a reduction
of expenses. and were therefore germane
to the matter under discussion.
Representative Hay, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, made
point of order on the ground that the
changes constituted new legis-
lation and were not germane. Repre-
sentative Saunders OF Virginia, who oc-
cupied the chair, upheld Mr.. Hays point
of order.

There is a personal tribute, apart from
the official side, in these arrangements,

in Washington.
The Senate listened Saturday after
noon to an imprisoned address by that

Victor Hugo's Views on the Immor-

Victor Hugo's opinion on the question
Of life beyond the grave was remark
able one. The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends in future world. He
was equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluvian times.
when the Creator placed him on earth.
He believed that he would exist for
ever, inasmuch as he felt In his soul
thousands of hymns, dramas and po-
ems that had never found expression.
When the atheists would say TO him.
"The proof that you will not exist in
the future is that you did not exist In
the past Hugo would answer:
"Who told you did not exist In the
past centuries? You will say that is
the legend OF the ages. The poet has
written, Life is fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said a thousand
times written. You do not believe IN
the doctrine of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not recolect
your anterior existence But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember a thousand and
one scenes and events of your present
lifeg Since 1902 there have been ten

that can recall all their actions and

MOCK WINDOWS.
They We're Common In England When
Real Ones We're Taxed.

The window tax in England. very
old tax commencing In the reign OF
William ILL.,, was not discontinued I'M
til Lord Halifax changed 1t to the
house duty in 1851.
Ii must have caused q great amount
of consumption, anaemia and other foul
air maladies, for In 1850 there were
only an average Of six windows in
English houses. Indeed, the British
architects are not yet free from the bad
influence of this tax.
In very many old houses in England
today there may be seen mock windows
painted on the walls for symmetry
hideous things. Not only were glazed
windows taxed, but any hole in the
wall was included. Indeed. in the early
days only very rich people in England
had glass windows, and so precious
were these that they were carried from
one house TO another when people
moved their quarters.
Curious lodges were practiced TO es-
cape the tax, such as extending one
window across two houses or making a
very wide division between two panes
of glass. The loss to the nation must
have been hundredfold the revenues
collected from this bad tax.--Boston

FISHER IS
ACCUSED
Charges Against Him in
Usage Oil Lands
Case
HEARING ON MATTER
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Claim Made That Secretary
of Interior Has Aided
Standard Oil

Washington. Jan. 20.-The fight be-
tween the interior department, the I'm
Gle Sam Oil company and members OF
the tribunal council of the Usage In
dams, who were deposed recently by Sec
rotary Fisher, and whose actions have
been referred to the department of JUS
tce for investigation, was thrust upon
the attention of Congress and the courts
at Washington Saturday. Representa-
tves of the oil company, whose leases
were not approved by Secretary Fisher,
and representatives of the deposed
tribesmen spent the day before the In
dian affairs committee of the House,
presenting charges against Secretary
Fisher and other government officials.
Early in the day some of the deposed
members of the Usage council secured
from the district court mandamus
against Secretary Fisher to compel him
to show cause Tuesday why they should
not be reinstated.
The basis of the charges against the
secretary of the interior was that he
had aided the Standard Oil company's
interests by refusing to approve the I'm
Gle Sam leases. A bill is now before
Congress to validate them.
The department of justice Saturday,
through Assistant Attorney General
Knaebel transmitted to the United
States district attorney at Guthrie,
Okla. reports and documents from Sec
rotary Fisher, alleging that undue" in
fuence had been used upon the deposed
members of the Usage tribe in the nego-
tiation of the leases. If the investiga
ton by the district attorney warrants
such action, the case will be laid be-
fore the grand jury in Oklahoma.
Albert L. Wilson, attorney for the Un-
Gle Sam company, in the session before
the House Indian affairs committee, at
tackled the attitude of the interior de-
partment, the courts and the postoffice
toward his company. Mr.. |
Wilson reviewed the career of the COM
pany, its difficulties with the postoffice |
department in connection with its trans
actions with stockholders, its troubles
with the courts in bankruptcy rSoceed- |
ings and finally what he termed the
persecution" by the interior department
in the present case.
Mr.. Wilson declared that the rules |
framed by Secretary Fisher to cover the
leasing of the Usage lands were formu-
lated after the Uncle Sam leases had /
been negotiated and that under these
rules no company or individual could
take over a large acreage out of the
100000 acres open for development and
be assured of reasonable return on
The investment. The committee desired
to know just how Mr.. Wilson connect
ID the actions of Secretary Fisher with
The Standard Oil company. Every at
tempt to keep the Uncle Sam Oil COM
,any from securing supply of crude
,il,' he replied, "aids and assists the
Standard Oil company. If we cannot
ret a good supply of oil for our re-
ineries they will be able to crush us"
The committee adjourned until to-day,
When representatives of the interior de-
,artment will be heard. The Uncle Sam
ompany is asking Congress to pass a
ill directing the secretary of the in
erior to approve the disputed leases.

For the first offense he was drawn

TALES OF CATS.
Stories That Come From the Historic
Tower of London.

Two stories of the intelligence and
sympathy OF our feline friends were
told me during one of my numerous
visits to the Tower of London while
was living in England.
Southampton was prisoner in the
Tower with the Earl of Essex during
Elizabeth's reign. In some strange way
or by some unrecognized faculty IA
vorite cat of his found his abode and
Iuddenly appeared to him, having made
an entrance down the chimney. After
his release by James l., Southampton
had his picture painted with his faith

believe, can today be seen at Wilbeck
abbey.
The other tale is of Sir Henry Wyatt,
who was committed to the Tower dur
ing the reign of Richard III and suf-
fered much from want of clothing and
food. He would have persisted IL a cat
had not come down into his room and
warmed him by lying on his breast
and saved him from starvation by
bringing him an occasional pigeon
caught on the leads. Although the
keeper was under orders not TO i'm
prove his food, he agreed to cook any
thing which Sir Henry provided. and
The pigeons which the cat brought
saved his life. He also had picture
painted showing the cat offering pig
aon through the bars of his cell.-Our
