Scotland Yard contingent. On arriv-
ing at the police station, Mrs. Pank-
hurst was received by two superip-
tendents of police, who were affable
to the last degree. The police had
tea served for her in true English
fashion and the superintendent did
all in their power to entertain their
strenuous prisoner. After tea they
took her for an automobile ride and
the lady's Incarceration was mingled
with social amenities that might have
made some of the deceased Britishers
of the cruel type turn in their graves.
Mrs. Pankhurst would probably have
preferred rough treatment so that
she might have made political capital
of it, but the urbanity of the Scotland
Yard gentlemen was irresistible and
from last accounts Mrs. Pankhurst
was becoming reconciled to the mod
ern way. She is now out on bond.

The electric f1atron has been put to
many novel uses besides smoothing out

one morning to find the kitchen fire out

vice to thaw out frozen water pipe
During the night cellar window had
been left open and when the tempera-

and then, the cold air blew in the cellar
directly on the water pipe, freezing it.
As the pipe was run close to the floor
ioists it was in a most difficult place to
thaw 1t out. 1t was quite out of the otIes-
ton to pour hot water on it, and it was
dangerous to hold lighted lamp so close
to the infiammable floor boards The cleo

be held up against the frozen pipe and
gently moved to and fro until the ice was

Physical Valuation of Railroads

Both the Senate and the House
have passed the Observation-Disclosures
railroads bill. The bill was, however,
greatly changed in the Senate, and
it will now go to conference. and
probably will be passed before the
session is ended.
The proposed valuation of railroads
will cost about $5,000,000, and the
work cannot be completed in less than
three years. This work is to be con-
Quoted by the interstate commerce
commission and an army of experts.
The bill calls for an estimated value
of all kinds of value used by rail
road in its business as a common car
rier. Its stocks, bonds or other Sc
curities are also to be reported.
The object of all this is to eliminate
"water" in railroad construction, but
the elimination of all water means
the elimination of not a few rail
roads, and in that way the develop
ment of the country may to some ex-
tent be obstructed. The feeling
against water in railroad stocks is
however, pronounced, and the physical
valuation bill does not any more than
meet public expectations and wishes.

Cabinet Guessing in Washington

The souaring Of the circle is an
easier problem than the guessing OF
the Forthcoming cabinet of a demo-
cratic President, and yet the making
of cabinet states goes on unchecked IN
Washington. Messrs. Bryan, McAdoo,
Daniels and Burleson are declared-ln
sbinpton-to be finalities, leaving
but five, including Secretary OF
Labor, to be supplied "The lists" said
the President elect recently, make
me smile," and yet the picking of cab
met officials goes merrily on.
It is now plain that the President
elect can keep a secret, and 1t is also
plain that he intends to remain free
in making a list of his department
heads up to the last moment. 1t is
also probable that surprises will be
Forthcoming in it.
It is more than probable that the
filling Of the attorney generalshlp is
giving Mr.. Wilson unusual trouble.
Two new names are mentioned, and
these two are James G. McReynolds,
who is an expert in trust cases; Edgar
H. Farrar, New Orleans distinguished
lawyer, and Chancellor Walker of New
Jersey.
But after all is said and ten times
talked over, the fact remains that the
final makeup of the cabinet may not
be determined until Wednesday next,
and that for certain places one guess
is just about as good as another in the
meanwhile,

Closing Work of Congress

The Sixty-second Congress has un-
oil Tuesday noon to complete its work
in, and it has a great deal to do even
if it confines its labors to the gen
eral appropriation bills. The passage
of the naval appropriation, bill by the
House leaves only the general de-
ficiency bill to be passed by that body,
but several of the bills are pending in
the Senate or in conference, and de-
termination of disputed questions will
no doubt prove difficult and time-con-
suming.
1t is generally believed, however,
that the passage of the naval appro-
priation bill by the House will lead
to a clearing away of all other con-
tests, and that the present Congress
will go out with a record that in
cludes all general appropriation bills
needed in the coming fiscal year.
Should any of the bills, however, re-
main unpassed or unsigned the extra
session will be at hand on April l to
perfect them. None of these appro-
priations become effective until July /,
and there is no room for apprehen-
sions of monetary deadlock in gov
ernment affairs.

WHEN JUDGES JOKE

From the London Globe.
A joke emanating from the bench Is
not like the ordinary quip in company.
which can be promptly sat upon. A nice
sense of Difference compels counsel on
either side to smile loudly; though fire.
quontly against their will; the officials
dutifully hold their sides; the legal
limbs at the back guffaw while a
raucous ripple runs through the GAL
lery. All this takes time to subside,
and when we take into considerat ton
the fact that expensive counsel are
sometimes engagedN at fat fees with
hundred guinea refreshers. it is not
difficult to calculate that the long suf-
fering litigants have to pay for the
judges jokes at the rate of so many
shillings a minute. II jingles want to
satisfy their cravings for humor, they
should pay for it themselves. A solu-
tion OF the difficulty would be to COM
pei them to write comedy, consist
ing or the type of joke they indulge
in, and mounting it at their own cx
pensc. The loss on production would
speedily cure them OF the habit.

Henry Lane Wilson, United States am
bassador to Mexico, is naturally much

he seems to be performing his difficult

not have told you who represented us
in Mexico but now the ambassadors s
name is almost as familiar as that Of
the other distinguished Wilson, the
President-elect.
Ambassador Wilson was born at Craw-
fordsville, Ind, November 3, 1851. He
was educated at Wabash college and in
1885 was editor of The Lafayette, In
diana, Journal. He is a lawyer and was
a banker in Spokane, Wash. In 1889 he
was appointed by President Harrison
minister to Venezuela, but declined He
was minister to Chile from 1897 to 1905.
He was appointed minister to Greece in
1908, but was permitted to remain in Chile
at his own request. He was envoy extra
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary to
Belgium in 1905 and in December, 1909,
President Taft appointed him ambassador
to Mexico. He was special ambassador

Albert of Belgium; was American dele

Wilbur Wright Honored in France

The memory and attainments of
Wilbur Wright were honored by many
distinguished Frenchmen who attended
aluncheon given by Ambassador Her
rick in Paris on Wednesday. President
Taft added an expression of his in
terest in the event by sending a cable
dispatch.
The luncheon was the beginning of
a movement to erect on the plain of
Auvours, near the city of LIE Mans,
a monument to Wilbur Wright's men,
ory. "In TRUTH said the mayor of
lie Mans, "our city owes this evidence
of esteem and recognition to a man
who, the first in Europe, flew like a
bird over the plain Of Auvours. 1t was
thus that Wilbur Wright made the
city of lie Mans known throughout
the world. Ii centuries hence our city
should have disappeared it would still
live in the memory of men, for thew
would say that it was at LIE Mans that
the first man-bird flew from earth. y
This tribute of the mayor of lie Mans
tells the story and no doubt monu-
ment will be erected that it will keep
green the memory of the great Ameri-
can inventor.

One Battleship Only

Captain Hobson wanted four new
battleships, and many members of the
House favored the construction of two,
but when Mr.. Underwood advocated
one ship only he showed anew the in
fluence he has in the popular branch
of Congress. The bill as reported
called for the building of two ships,
but the House by vote of TIA to 156
upheld Mr.. Underwood's contention.
Mr.. Underwood S. csief objection to
two battleships copsisted in the fact
that the building of torpedo boats,
destroyers, transports and colliers is
not maintained in due proportion, and
efficiency in the navy is not promoted
unless this is done.
The bill as reported carried an ap-
preparation of $146, 100000 and the
House cut this amount down to SILL
100000. Mr.. Underwood has rarely
done better days work than he did
on Wednesday. The republican papers
have lost chance to cry out "ex-
