AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION oc-
CURED IN THE HOUSE YES
TERDAY MORNING.
DEMOCRATIC LEADER EXPLAINS
He Says That the Party Stands
Ready to See That Labor Is
Treated Right-Repubican Wanted
Some Promises.

Washington, May 15. Secretary
Redheld's broad intimation to bust
ness that the federal government
would investigate cuts in wages that
ooked like reprisals for the passage
of the tariff bill brought out a sharp
eross-tire OF speeches today between
Chairman Underwood and Represen-
tatiye Mondell, Republican, of Wyo-
ming.
Mr.. Mondell declared Representa-
live Upderwoods statement that
wage cuts would be Investigated
aould be forgiven because it was
made in the heat of debate
Secretary Redfeld had no such ex-
suse, lie said:
Every right minded citizen" con,
linued Mr. sicndell, hopes for the
.ayora3le conduct OF the countrys in
lusuies, bat / know of no law which
says any man shall continue to give
employment to labor under adverse
conditions and continue his business
At a loss
The Democrats, he declared, were
revising the- tariff with the people in
j most favorable frame OF miAd, and
i was 1ungracious to waSh mSnufae-
turers that unless they continue to
conduct their business at a possible
loss they will be Investigated to sat
isfy the nigh and mighty secretary
of commerce.
The situation is inst this" rejoin
ed Mr.. Underwood, amid applause by
by the Democrats, 'if you loos
through the tariff hearings you vii
find tatement after statement oi
manufacturers that If Democratic
aouse reduced the tariff in the inter
ests of the people they would taxi
reduction cut OF the labor in the fac
tories and mills.
Man after man said what reduc
ton you make will come out of la
oor We intend that where thes'
Industries are making enormous prot
its. and many OF them are, that re
duction shall come out of the unrea
8onal.e profits, and they shall no
continue to make these profits at th'
expense of their labor.
"A short time ago you Republican,
contended for a tariff board to ascel
cain the facts, that industry and Ia
Dor might be safeguarded in makini
tariff. Now that the machinery ha
started to ascertain the facts, you rul
cover, you show the white feathe
because you are afraid of fair in
yetigation. We won't interfere will
labor but when a manufactures say
ne is cutting wages because of tariff
reductions, we want to know If he il
telling the truth. If he is not, and h'
is simply punishing labor, then th'
acts should be made public. If E'
is telling the truth we want to know
it. If we have made a mistake II
any particular instance, we are no
rfraid to acknowledge it and correc
It,"
Will you pomise," interrupted MI
Mondelf, that if any industry show
loss, that less viii be repaired"
When the bureau Of commerc
finds returned Mr. Underwood, "tha
injury has been done, you may
sure this side of the house will stan
ready to remedy the injury"

ed, they say, that he slapped her and
threw her on the sofa in the front

Immediately following the pleas

were a little out OF the ordinary, and
instead Of the usual means OF turning
the leaves they were moved on a
pivot. The programs were oblong and
were very attractiyely gotten up and
contained seven pages. A beautiful
custom OF the Elks was observed at
the eleventh hour when dancing
ceased for few moments, the Elks
thus paying tribute to their absent
brothers. During this time. while the
lights were turned low. Besserer's
orchestra played in low soft tones

A novel feature OF the program was
the Supper dance" Twenty-Five
square tables were brought In by
walters and spread with snowy white
cloths, and placed in the center OF
each was pink candle lamp holding
pink shaded candles. Club sandwiches
wrapped in purple and white tissue
paper were served with hot coffee.
During this time the lights were cut
off, leaving only the light from the
pink candles and pink electric lights
that hung in holly wreaths at each
window, the effect being quite pleas
ing.
A noticeable feature OF the evening
was the electrical cotillion, which was
perfectly led by Mr.. Brandon and Miss
Mary Ross Parker. A wire extending
diagonally across the dance hall held
numerous ropes of purple and white
incandescent lights, each OF these be-
ing three feet long. When the signal
was given each couple holding either
end of an electric rope moved forward
following the leader, and when com
pleted an electrical arch OF purple and
white lights was formed This was
quite superb figure and caused many
complimentary remarks.
The favors for the ladies were silk
tissue aprons and boas for their neck,
the gentlemen being favored with
tissue horns three feet long. The ia
vors we're quite an admired feature OF
the dance
The confetti cotillion was led by
Miss Anita Park, Mr.. VIII Saunders,
Miss Dorcas Parker and Mr. Harry
Poverty. This was decidedly one Of
the most novel figures ever seen in
Bryan and caused much merriment
among the participants, the favors be-
ing bags of confetti.
The dancers divided, some lining
up on one side Of the hall while the

opened, each containing two hundred
smaller ones. Then q SNOWFALL battle
ensued, which took away all formaIity

their midst.
The Christmas colors, red and
green, were embodied in the decora-
Itions with unusually artistic results.
Holly wreaths hung in the windows
and doorways gave a holiday air to
the arrangements. The large recep-
ton hall was exquisitely festooned
with Southern smilax and the mag
nificent scarlet blossoms of the poin-
setta placed in vases and jardiniers
gave added charm to the scene. The
beauty OF the music room, with its
polished floor, handsome rugs and
lovely furniture, was enhanced with a
profusion OF white carnations and
ferns. The mantel had lovely en-
bankment OF plumosa fern, in which
were imbedded the fragrant blossoms
that were reflected in the mirror and
tall crystal vases filed with these
same delicate scented flowers were
placed elsewhere about the room.
The dining room, which is a dream
of soft lovely tints, was handsome in
Christmas decorations. Holly, South
ern smilax, red carnations and Christ
mas bells were tastefully utilized in
the beautiful adornment. The hand

BATTLEsHIPs FOR TARGETS.

Winston Spencer Churchill's $ suggestion that England and the other powers abandon their bat tIeship building program for a few years has an argument add ed in it's favor in the annOunce- ment that. the battleship Indiana, built few years ago at a cost of $7,0O0,OO0, is to be turned oN- CT for target practice, sharing the fate of the Texas, which played so glorious a part in the battle of Santiago.
 For two years the old Texas has been used as target for the gunners of the North Atlantic squadron, until now there is lit tle of the battered hulk left to aim at. So, to answer the de- mand for a target. the Indiana will be dismantled and lowed to some convenient spot where the newer and mightier ships of the Arkansas, Ds tare, Michigan, Florida and bnnec!icut t, types can hamemr Fer as though she were a foreign battleship that had come to deVastate our coast.
 It is hard fate for a abttleship that cost about $6,0O0,000 to build a score of years ago, but less ignOminious far than the scrap heap or sale to some minor power that wants a make-bclicNe navy. They changed the name of the Texas to the san Marcos when they took the old battle ship for a target; and probably the Indiana, which was called the most wonderful floating fortress in the world few short years ago, will be fired at under some other name.
 In few years the Massachu- ,setts, the Iowa and he Illinois will follow the Texas and the h. diana into oblivion by the same route, and the names will eb giV- rn to new and mightirr dread thoughts. One battleShip of the old fleet, however. will be spared. The Oregon. which made that wonderful run from the Pacific coast around the Horn to the coast of Cuba to help drive Spain off this hemisphere, will be spar ed for coming generations to preserve as this generation cher ishpS the old Constitution.

 The question is worth thinking about. Brookville is only an average American community no better and no worse than the most of them. \ sane discussion of the question in the sanctity of even BrOOkviIlc homes may save the chrOnicling of a number of Shipwrecks of life.

THE FALL OF ADRlANOPLE.

The fall of Adrianople brings peace in Inc Balkans within sight.
 While il will tend to stifren the neckS of the BulgarianS, it will leave the control of the situation
 more definitely in the hands of
 the European powers, with whom
 the Balkan allies will now have
 directly to deal.
 The speech of Sir Edward Grey 1 in the House of Commons, with the equally firm and confident
 stalement of the British Premier,
 shows the spirit in which the task will be met.
 The Balkan allies may persist
 in he demand for an indemnity. It will hardly be conceded. For one reason, because there is no prccedent for a defeated govern- ment giving an indemnity and
 surrounding territory not yet con- quered. And, for a second req
 son, because the holdings of
 French and English and German banks in the Turkish debt would practically be wiped out by the
 addition of an indemnity.
 With a settlement in the Bal kanS, general peace may be re- garded as reasonably secure. The chief difficulty, of course, is the peculiar situation and the pecu- liar temper of the ruling class of
 Germany. No doubt it seems to the German government that the vital interests of the nation are
 gravcly menaced by the changes Iof the last six months. There has grown up in the Balkans a ser ious military power the future af- fliations of which it is impossi- ble to predict. It is possible some German publicists think it certain--that this power will act with Russia, and that. with OF wit hOut Greece, there will be formed strong Slav alliance which will complete the circle of probably hostile nations with which Germany will have to fight l for it's very existence. Against
 such a combination the Triple AL i lianrc would be weakened in Aus tria- Hungary by the large and more or less discOntentcd Slav
 element in its population. IL
 might be further weakened by he
