this city and asked the police to look
them up. The Hamilton girl was Wis
iting Valley Gracey.
Deputy Marshal Kennedy located
Sadie Hamilton at the home of friends
in the west end, but neither she nor
the local people knew Of the where
abouts of the Gracey girl. The two
girls had arrived here on the branch

posed, but had become separated in
the afternoon.
Not until this morning was any

CONVICT LABOR HEARING
BEFORE THE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 1S. -
Hearings on the Booher convict-lab-
or bill before the house labor com
mittee bring out the fact that while
this measure, offered by southern
Democrst, would allow each s'atc to
regulate the importation and sale
within its borders of convict made
goods, it would in no wise effect the
traffic in those states whose legis-
latures do not effectually regulate
or prohibit the sale of such goods.
Representative John |. Nolan's bill
on the same subject, which he hopes
to get reported from the interstate
commerce committee, absolutely pro-
hibits the shipment of any convict
made or convict-paeked commodities
in interstate commerce. 1t also pro-
hibits any firm, such for example as
a big mail-order house, selling con-
vict-made goods, from shipping any
goods of the same general descrip-

A cheap demagogue is public here

Although the American craze for
Tango" dancing continues, despite
the protests of censors of conduct,
the dance now receives an attack on
the score of musical indecency,
brought by H. E. Krehbiehl in the
New York Tribune. 1t can scarcely
be set down to the credit of Ameri-
can and English women, points out
the writer, that in adopting the
tango" they are initiating the ex-
ample not of the ladies of Argentina,
but that of the women of the Black
Republic. The dance which is threat
ening to force grace, decorum and de-
cency out of the bathrooms of Amer

African savagery, which was already

ANDERSON RESIGNS POSITION
ON WAYS AND MEANS COM.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 18.-
When Representative Sidney Ander-
son of Minnesota resigned his place
on the powerful ways and means
committe, because he found that
Democratic caucus rule made his
presence on the committee fraud,
Representative Kent of California,
Independent, declared himself disap-
pointed in the Progressive Repubi-
can member from Minnesota.
81 sometimes think that have been
wrong in simply satisfying my con-
science and seaying out of all or
ganizations,' remarked the morgan
lied Kent. IF everyone did as l
have done, business could not be eff
ficiently conducted here. OF course
the seniority system is wrong, and
Anderson is right when he says that
seniority has given the Democrats
from the most conservative section
of the country full control of legis-
lation through control of the com
mittee chairmanships, but you can't
upset that all at once. A new sys-
tenn will have to be gradually work
ed out"

Tawney of Winona, three years ago
pointed out in his resignation speech
that progressive bills could all be
killed in committee by reactionary
chairmen. He added that is what
now happens to most of the humane
legislation that is proposed
Among those who endorse this
sentiment is Andrew Furuseth, sec
retary of the Sailors Union of the
Pacific, who has been trying this
