U, 5, SENATORS ABUSED
TELEGRAPH PRIVILEGE
Resolution Would Limit Them
to $50 Annually.

Washington, Nov. 4.-As the result,
of charges made by Senator Bristow
of Kansas, that Senator Ashurst, OF
Arizona, had abused the privilege Of
transmitting kilograms on official bust
ness at government expense, the sen
ate committee on audit and control Of
the contingent expenses of the senate
started an inquiry which resulted il
reporting resolution introduced by
Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, limiting
the value of kilograms senator may
send at government expense to $50 an
nually.
The committee submitted report
on the resolution prepared by Senator
Williams, which disclosed the fact that
the members had conducted an inves
tigation of the alleged abuse of the
privilege by senators. The committee
found that the average number of tele
grams sent in three months was forty
five for each senator and that the ex
pense incurred in each case was
$26.27. They found that nine senators
had sent no kilograms, while one sem
313, at an expense to the government
of $210. The lowest expense incurred
for such kilograms was rs cents BY
one senator who invoked the govern
ment rate.
Some senators seem to have subst:
tuted the telegraph for the post" said
Senator Williams in his report. Some
seem never to resort to it. Others have
resorted to it only on strictly ofhcia,
!, business and then nfy-~hen the ac
casion emergency and a letter
would not answer che purpose"

Washington, Nov. 4.-Oswald CARR
denounced segregation in the govern

held here under the auspices of the
District of Columbia branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People.
Mr.. Willard read a letter from Sec
rotary McAdoo, CT the treasury de.
partment, denying the charge pre-
vious,y made by Mr.. Willard that seq
regation was in effect in the treasury
department. Declaring that the charge
was IAN unjust and misch:evous exag-
geration" Mr.. McAdoo wrote that
some time ago he and the president,
from a desire to be just and generous
with the coIored race" had planned to
appoint a colored man register of the
treasury, under whom all colored en-
ployes should be placed. Opposition in
the senate to the confirmation of
Adam E. Paterson, the colored man
selected for the Office, had caused the
plan to fall through.

justice that your speech may do me-"
said the secretary, ''but 1 do for the
wrong it inflicts on the president" He
added that in his opinion the speech

that is misleading does infinite harm
to the colored race

Asbury Park, N. j., Nov. 4.-The an

Mrs. H. E. Hollingshead, of Ohio,

In support of her views Mrs. Hol.

She said no answer had been re

the request was made at the triennia

OPPOSES GIFT TO

Congressman Gray, Democrat, Says
1t Is In Exceeding Bad Taste.

Washington, Oct. 30.-Republican
Leader Mann's plan for subscription

nounced in the House today by
Representative Gray, Democrat, OF

was Gin exceeding bad taste"
Gray declared that few of the

he offered a resolution declaring
that the members of the House

ing this great step in life's high
way their heartiest congratulations
and we'll wishes as symbol of the

the happiness and welfare of all

Rats Cost Annually Millions Of
Dollars.

B. F. W. Thorpe, of the staff of
Farm and Fireside, the national
farm paper published at Spring
field, Ohio, contributes to the cur
rent issue of that periodical a
most interesting article on grain
saving cribs, bins and granaries.
He shows how rat-proof storehouses
Of ample capacity can be provided
at low cost. On the subject of the
number Of rats in our country and
| the amount of damage they do,
l-Mr. Thorpe presents the following
facts as a sort of Introduction to
the specific suggestions he gives
as to how to build rat-proof recep-
tacles for grain:
Uncle Sam has never attempted
a reliable rat census, but, taking
he country over, We no doubt have
rat population of twice or thrice
the hundred million mark.
Some of our expert figuring
, sharps have arrived at the conclu-
sion by different processes of rea-
soning that round hundred mil
lion dollars worth of grain is de-
stroyed annually by rats. This
tidy sum is approximately sufficient
to feed and clothe hen for each
man, woman and child of our re-
/ public and outlying territory. To
put 1t differently, each family of
five could keep little flock of
five hens In place of its allotment
of a dozen rats. The five hens,
with the good care usually accord
ed the small flock, could be count
ed on to furnish fifty dozen strict
ly fresh eggs for the home larder
annually.
LET me put this big financial
proposition still differently. Two
or three hundred million chicken
killing, disease-carrying rats cost
us an annual grain tax of five dol
lars q family. II exterminated and
their living turned over to half
or a third as many productive hens.
each family, instead of five dol
lar tax, would have an eighteen
dollar. income. This would be equal
to a credit balance of $360,000,000
for the Nation. 1t looks as If our
rats have something of a corner on
grain, doesn't ut:
"Our rat population will thrive
and multiply just so long as we
continue to harbor and feed them
in ramshackle cribs and granar1es
and furnish them haunts under
wood floored buildings, junk piles
and other secluded hiding places in
which to multiply
Concrete floors and foundation
walls and supports Of the same
material or of solid masonry. toge-
Their with metal or wire screen lin
ed bins and cribs, will solve the
rat problem. Keep the rat in
the open. bar his grain supply,and
he will be down and out"
