for all who are able to find that sort of
explanation satisfactory.
Asked how it knew that the gentleman
who is the choice of Texas democrats for
| United States senator was going to Aus
tin to lobby, the Sentinel, which SINCE it
Joined the democratic party after the
April election last year has been singu-
larry afraid Of ~disrupting it, replies that
it had seen it III the papers that Shep-
pard was going to Austin. The rest wa
easy; he must be going there to lobby.

had each gone to Austin under similar
circumstances. Sheppard, however, who

a Brutus ready to plunge Il dagger into

the marvellous spectacle of speaking fur
niture, shooting holes in the sidePal Sys-
TEN with clOquence, and at the same time
toting daggcrs to jab into the vitals of
a really-truly democrat; Sheppard, who
had the UNDERSIGNED distinction of being

loose at the vitals of democrats with
sharp pointed hardware-why Sheppard
could have no possible motive in going
to Austin except to neglect the duties he
was elected "prcsumable" to fulfill.
As we remarked, this is Il good enough
reason for any person for whom that
sort of reason is good enough.
Nevertheless it would have taken
fewer words aud less space 70 give the
real reason why it insults and tries to
bclittlc the man VINO is the oycrWhclm-
ing choice of Texas democrats for Scna
tor: why it has missed no opportunity
to insult Wilson men III its home town;
why it constantly spoke msultingIy and
contcmptuouSly Of the Wilson club
i'll Brownsville.
The same reason doubtless that caused
it to invent that wonderful figure OF
speech about speaking furniture and
shooting elOqucnCc: same reason why It
invented its widely celebrated profanc
paragraphs about Little Jesus
But why no give the reason?

A new liquor introduced into the leg
islature requires a saloonkeeper to give
$4,000 bond for general liquor license,
and $4,000 for beer license. The license
must be personal, signed by three bonds

idea back of this rather drastic measure
Is TO root out the more d~iSreputable sal
cons. The fate Of this bill will be watch

ELECTRIC FISH
 HOLD B|G SHIP

Boston, Nov 8.-A remarkable story
 was told by the crew of the British freighter Rochelle, which reached , port today four days late from San Domingo. According to several of the men, the delay was due principally to electric fish, otherwise known as torpedo fish, which were attracted by the steel plates of the vessel and fastened themselves by hundreds against her bottom and sides. The steamer was in the Gulf
 Stream, north of Cuba. when she be- gan to slow down. The officers were
 at a loss to account for the change
 in the progress of the craft. Several
 sailors said they felt tingling sen
 sation about thei. feet and finger
 tips The steamer was held back strangely. Members of the crew be-
 came alarmed.
 A sailor looked over the side and
 saw it was plastered with strange
 looking fish. They were two or three
 thick along the port side under wa
 ter The starboard side also was GOV
 cred, and those on board believe the
 fish extended to the keel plates. AS the Rochelle moved north and got out of the warm waters of the stream the fish dropped off and the vessel immediately resumed her speed But the coal supply had run
 so low that Captain Greig decided { to make Norfolk, where the bunkers
 were refilled and the freighter resum- ed her passage.

SENTIMENT Of SENATE
ON CANAL FREE TOLLS
Probability That There Will Be
No RepeaI-PreSident VIII
sons Attitude.

In view of the recent demand of the
trustees of the Carnegie endowment for
international peace that Congress should
repeal that provision in the Panama
canal law allowing free passage of the
canal to American coastwise vessels, and
in view of the avowed intention of demo-
Gratis in the House to take the matter up.
much interest is being manifested today
in the probable attitude of the Senate. 1t
has been rumored that President Wilson
himself would welcome a repeal of this
provision for free passage of American
coastwise vessels. for which Great Brit
ain has demanded arbitration IL it be not
repealed.
Committee Hostile to Repeal.
The Senate committee on interoceanic
canals TO which will be referred any leg
islation looking to the repeal of this pro-
vision when analysed with respect to the
attitude which its members had toward
this proposition less than a year ago,
appears to be Overwhelmingly hostile to a
repeal of the free passage of American
coastwise ships. The matter came up for
record vote in the Senate last August I,
when the Panama canal law was under
consideration. 1t resulted in fGrty-four
votes in favor of free passage. eTes<sa OPP
posed and thirty-nine not voting.
Those voting against free passage were
all republicans They were Senators
Brandegee Burton. Crane. Fall. Gronna.
Lodge Nelson, Oliver, Penrose, Root and
Wetmore
The members of the new committee on
intero .eanic canals is headed by SEN
ator .O'Gorman of New York, who has
been IL strong adherent of free passage
for the American coastwise ships. 1t was
he who demanded a record ecJe on the
proposition when ii came up In ti.2 Sen
ate. There are three members of TIA
committee who were not in the Senate at
the tine the vote was taken-Senators

The Senators on the committee who
voted Ill favor of the provision are: Dem
ocrats. O'Gorman, New York; Thornton,
Louisiana; Simmons, North Carolina. Re-
publicans. Borah. Idaho: Crawford. South

fornia and Page of Vermont. Two denf-
ocratic MEMBERS Senators Chiffon of
West Virginia anoH Owen of Oklahoma,
failed TO vote, but weuld have voted in
favor OF the free passage-oe the vessels.
When Senator Root presented at the
last session separate bill to repeal the
provision objected to, 1t was sent to the
committee on interoceanfo canals, and IL
was tabled there by a vote of eight to
three. Senator Root made plea in the
Senate for its approval, but the bill died

HURRY|NG THE PLANS
1 OF LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Senator CuIIom, Resident Com
missioner, Announces Builder
Will Soon Be Needed.

The United States government will soon
be in want of a builder for the Lincoln
memorial. according to statement made
today by former Senator Shelby M. Gull
lom. who during the last days Of former
President Taft's administration was
made resident commissioner in Washing
ton in charge of the construction of the
memorial
Mr.. Cullom has made arrangements to-
open temporary offices for the work of
the memorial in the Capitol. in quarters
adjoining those of Elliott Woods. superin-
tendent of the Capitol building. Later
on, he states, he expects to obtain the
use OF rooms not otherwise wanted in the
Senate Office building.
Encounters Handicap.
I'VE are somewhat handicapped" Mr..
Cullom said today, by the fact that the
sundry civil bill, containing the first APP
preparation of 100000 toward the me-
mortal. did not become a law at the last
session, 1t having been vetoed by the
President. as will be recalled, because 1t
contained what he called some class
legislation
This difficulty. however, / am inform
ed will soon be remedied, as members of
the House tell me they expect to pass
sundry civil bill containing our appro-
priation shortly after the extra session
of Congress conyenes.
I'm the meanwhile I am obtaining a
great many samples of marble from
which TO make a choice, and the archl-
tect. Mr. Bacon, is busy in New York
making working plans for the builders.
Il expect that Mr.. Bacon and | will

American marble only will be used in
the construction of the memorial. There
are three or four beds of suitable marble
in this country-one in New Hampshire

one in Colorado. l shall find out about
them as soon as can. We want to get the
purest and the best without regard 10

correspondence to obtain samples of the
sort of material we want.
Il shall press along the work as strong
ly as | can. / want to aid In having this
memorial constructed earlier than was
anticipated. We had hard work to Sc
cure a law fixing the location of this
memorial in Potomac Park, but we
stuck to the fight for saw that the plac-
ing of the building there would help
along at least two other projects for the
Identification of the Capital city-the
memorial bridge and the amphitheater in
opposite the Lincoln memorial on the
Virginia side of the Potomac.
Addition to Beauty of City.
when these three improvements to the
capital are completed, Washington will be
still another step nearer to being the
most beautiful city in the world, as every
American should try to make it. / am
very much interested in the future of this
city While l expect to retain my home

can to aid in the work of developing the
capital.
Il have always been intensely interest
ed in the development Of Washington,
and | am certain from my long residence
here and intimate acquaintance with the
public works which have been undertaken
here that this movement in favor Of the
Lincoln memorial has been one of the
best steps that could have been taken.
The result will prove it"
