Senate Committee Has Not Yet Def

Test, However.

The Senate committee. on immigration
plans to complete its consideration of the
Burnett migration bill as it passed the
House next week. and to report it to the
Senate.
Though the committee has not voted
definitely on the question of retaining the
favor it and the formal vote on the pro-
vision is expected to carry.
The committee has given considera-
ton to the protest from the Italian
government against the provision di
recting United States medical officers
and matrons to board immigrant ships
at foreign ports Members OF the com
mttee argue that such provision does
not constitute an invasion Of the
rights of any foreign nation. Such
officers would be directed only to min
gle with immigrants and TO keep watch
during the voyage and to make reports
of conditions on arrival in this coun-
try. 1t is probable that the provision
will be left in the bill. though It's
terms NAY be modified that there might
be no possibility of its giving Of

The following editorial is by

"The news of the election of
Jouett ShouSe to Congress from a
district that has heretofore been
normally Republican by a large
majority is most gratifying to his
numerous friends in Kentucky.
With a rare charm of personality,
real ability, a capacity for sustain
ed, intense work, and the power of
organization, Mr.. Shouse'S ad-
vancement in Kansas has been ra-
pid and will be sustained in the
future.
I'm the arena at Washington he
will win for himself as high a re-
putation in the Nation as he won
for himself in Kentucky and later
in Kansas because of his service
in the Legislature. 1t will not be
long until he is one of the lead
erS of the House of Representa-
tlveS, if the good people Of that
district have the wisdom to con-
tinue him in service. To him and
to the people of that district we ex-
tend congratulations, for both he
and they are to be congratulated
upon the opportunity they have
given him to render real service
to the party and to the Nation, of
which opportunity those who
know him are confident he will
take fullest advantage"

YOUNG MAN SUICIDES
Ray Rathbun, of HOisingtOn, Kills
Self Last Friday Night.

Ray Rathbun, a young man
about twenty-three years of age,
committed suicide last Friday
evening al the home of his BROTH
er about eight miles north OfHoiS-
ington. Dependency over some
love affair is believed to have been
the cause.
About a year ago The young man
completed a term of enlistment in
the U. S. Navy and came to HoiS-
ingtOn 10 make his home with his
brother, who lived about eight
miles north of that city, and had
been engaged in farming with his
brother since that time. His bro
ther was in town Friday, and that
afternoon Ray decided 10 leave
The place and so elsewhere and
had his team hitched up and his
personal effects loaded in his wa
gon ready to start about supper
lime. His half-SiSter, who keeps
house for the boys, asked Ray to
dc some work for her, Just before
he left the house, but he replied
that he did not have the time, and
eft the house. The young lady
was busy about the house and his
absence was not noticed until af-
ter dark when his brother return
ed from town and noticed his
team hitched to the wagon in the
yard, and a search for Ray was al
once instituted and about 8
o'clock that evening his body was
discovered lying by a straw stack
some distance from the house.
He had placed the muzzIe OF his
revolver in his mouth and pulled
The trigger and death was proba-
bly, instantaneous.
The only clue to his reason for
taking his life was in a note
which the young man had left.
Much of this was not legible, but
it indicated that some love affair
was the cause. He leaves two
jrolherS and a half-SiSter to
mourn his death.
