Albania, to which Prince William Of

mixed lot of people. There are few

these are of the widest and least

Oldest Liuinn Twins.

William and Samuel Muncy, of Baby
Ion, l.. T.. who recently celebrated their
95th birthday anniversary, have the
distinction of being the oldest living
twins. They attribute their good health
to the fact that they have lived an out
door life as far as they possibly could.
AS youngsters they would, when their
work on the farm was lone for the day,
go fishing In the evening, instead of
making their way down to the general
store to gossip. The two men eat when
ever they feel hungry, do not smoke,
chew, nor drink. and although there are
sever physicians who are members Of
their family, they have never had COCA

lIle SSIlSt6.
Washington, April 6.-Nine members
of the Senate, headed by Senator La
Toilette, openly revoIted against pro-
ceedings behind closed doors last
night after an executive session in
Which the Senate by a vote of Sc to 81
confirmed the nomination of Winthrop
M. Daniels of New Jersey. to be a
member of the Interstate Commerce
commission.
Sena La Toilette asserted that he
proposed to defy the rules Of the SEN
ate in the future and discuss publicly
legislation not affecting foreign rela-
lions and later it was announced that
Senators Bristow, Cumnins, Clapp,
kenyon, Norris, Jones and Gronna. re-
publicans, and Poindexter. progressive,
would maintain the same attitude.
The revolt created a sensation and
there was much speculation as to the
effect it would have upon future exec
utlVe sessions, The general opinion
was that there would be no attempt to
take action against members who dis
regarded the rule of secrecy.
Confirmation of Commissioner Dam
lels closed a three days fight, marked
by one of the bitterest debates heard at
the capital in years. Mr.. Daniels adj
Nocates had the support of President
Wilson'S we'll known desire that his
"PPoiiiSSS "llc pClSOIIStl lIlGllu ne con-
firmed without delay.
Opponents to the confirmation based
their objection on the ground that Mr..
Daniels views on the valuation Of pub-
lie service property We're unsound. AS
during the two preceding days, SEN
ators continue to insist hat Mr.. DAN
lies ideas, as expressed in the decision
OF the New Jersey public service COM
mission of which he was chairman in
the Passaic gas rate case, would make
him dangerous as Il member of the In
terstate Commerce commission at a
time when the commission was fixing
a valuation on railroad property.
Senator Cummins commented on the
confirmation of Winthrop Moore Dam
1els as a member of the Interstate
Commerce commission. For years eff
forts have been made TO load up the
Interstate Commerce commission to
make it a pro-railroad body in regard
to valuation and otherwise the placing
of Daniels on the commission is the
crowning effort in that direction" said
the senator Il deeply regret that a
man holding such views as he does
should be confirmed"

A Guard Of the Sepulchre
BY EDWIN MARKHAM.

told unto the chief priests all the things that We're come
to pass, and : : they gave large money unto tho
soldiers. saying: Say, his disciples came by night ana
l was a Roman soldier in my prime;
Now age is on me and the yoke of time.
| saw your risen Christ, for [ am he
Who reached the hyssop to him on the tree;
And | am one of two who watched beside
The sepulchre of him we cruciied,
All that last night [ watched with sleepless eyes;
Great stars arose and crept across the skies.
The world was all too still for mortal rest,
For pitiless thoughts We're busy in the breast.
The night was long, so long it seemed at last
| had grown old and a long life had passed.
Far off the hills of Moab, touched with light,
Were swimming in the hollow of the night.
! saw Jerusalem, all wrapped in cloud,
Stretch like a dead thing folded in a shroud.
Once, in the pauses of our whispered talk,
[ heard a something on the garden walk.
Perhaps it was a crisp leaf lightly stirred,
Perhaps the dream-note of a waking bird;
Then suddenly an angel, burning white.
Came down with earthquake in the breaking light,
And rolled the great stone from the sepulchre,
Mixing the morning with a scent of myrrh.
And 10, the dead had risen with the day
The Man of Mystery had gone his way!
Years have | wandered, carrying my shame;
Now let the tooth of Time eat out my name;
For we, who all the wonder might have told,
Kept silence, for our mouths were stopt with gold.

is not afraid to tell everybody he

HUNDRED FEET LONG

a battery of thirty monsters purch as
ed by the company to- haul it's crack
trains.
The locomotive with the tender is
100 feet long. The engine standing
alone is eighty-five feet and the ten
der fifteen feet long. The engines
are twenty-four fe4t high and they
weigh 5000 pounds with the ten

superheated locomotives an
beside these giants, am ordinary,e,
gine looks like pgmy. The smoke
stack towers above the average two

is powerful enough to rum away
with twenty loaded passenger cars
which it pulls with ease.
The engines have a traction pow
err of $4,000 pounds and run under
steam pressure of 1876 pounds The
new steel equipment which is be-
ing introduced by various systems
has made these. colossal engines ne

roads to haul bigger and heavier
freight trains have also made neces-

Steel equipment for the passenger
service is being substituted for wood
en coaches as fast as the old ones
are replaced and it is expected that
in another year or two wooden
coaches will be relegated entirely to
the small branch lines.
