A new born baby girl. tucked COM
fortably in a basket, was left at the
Ohio House in care of Mrs. Alex Rob-
inson, the proprietor this morning.
The child was neatly dressed and a
supply of nipples, nursing bottles and
all the requisites necessary for an in
FAINT child were found in the basket.
The man who left it in the hotel
drove up in an automobile and asked
Mrs. Robinson for permission to leave
the basket at the hotel for a time.
Mrs. Robinson consented and he
drove away. He set the basket on
a table in the office and it was not
given any attention for a time. Some
of the people in the office thought
they saw the cover move and began
talking about it. An investigation re-
vealed the contents.
Basket Contains Baby
The child is a finely featured baby
girl and appears to be in excellent
health. She did not appear to be
more than a few hours old. Mrs.
Robinson and a number of people in
the office examined the basket and it's
contents but were unable to find any

wore fur cap. a pair of heavy
gloves and heavy coat. He said
nothing excepting that he wished to
leave the basket in the hotel office for
a short time

She has no children. She did not see
the man in the automobile but talk
ed with him in the hotel office.

KID Mr.. JACKSON
COngressmen Have Fun With
Kansas Representative.
Exchange of Compliments
Caused Threat of Fight.

Washington, Jan. 14.-While debat-
ing prohibition legislation in connec-
ton with the postal system during
consideration of the postOffice appro-
nriation bill Chairman Moon of the
com mittee and Representative jackson
of Kansas INDUCED in acrimonious
dispute that threatened to lead to
blows.
.There is more hypocrisy and insin-
cerity in this prohibition rot than any
thing else" said Moon bitterly, in COM
menting on the amendment offered by
Jackson excluding from the mails
first and second class matter such as
letters, papers and magazines carry
ing advertisements of liquors and IN
toxicants.
Il consider that language not only
unparliam entary but cowardiy, re-
torued Jackson hOtly.
The gentleman will not say to me
outside of this house what he has said
here"
Protesting that he would use the
same language anywhere, Mr.. Moon
added:
MANY demagogues and scoundrels
use this prohibition argument
Mr. Jackson was about to reply
when friends pointed out that Mr..
Moon had used his criticism in gem
eral sense and had not applied it to
Mr.. Jackson and the dispute was per-
mitted to drop.
Representative Stevenson of Min
nesota and Moore of Pennsylvania load
ed the jackson amendment down by
extending its provisions to snuff,
smoking and chewing tobaccos, poker
cards and chips.
This tobacco and snuff habit is a
pernicious and insidious one" COM
mented Stevenson. II have seen
flaming advertisements with men loll-
ing back and putting at pipe
Former Speaker Cannon suggested
that the use of playing cards and
chips had been prohibited in Illinois
since 1913, while Moore went him one
better in citing an old Pennsylvania
law along similar lines enacted in
1898.
The jackson amendment was de-
feated, SO to 35. but the bill was not
passed finally.
