MAY OBWATE ROW OVER
MILEAGE PERQU|S|TE
Members of Congress Likely to File
Items Of Expense To and
From Capital.

The annual row on the subject of con-
gressional mileage may be obviated at
this session of Congress if the present in
tention of the appropriations committee
Of the House to grant only actual ex-
penses for travelling is enacted. Hereto
fore the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill has carried $115,oO0,
which provides about 20 cents mile
each way for the travel bills of mem
bers When this item has been reached
heretofore there has been loud cutlery
against the extravaganza of the arrange
ment. Members of the economy crowd
in the House have uttered some of the
most praiseworthy sentiments in oppo-
sition to the item but it is not recalled
at present that a roll call vote on this
intimate personal perquiste has been
taken. In the case of some of the far
western members, the mileage amounts
to about $1,JoO apiece. In the case of
Representative Carin of Virginia, who
lives in Alexandria. it is less than 81
Provision in Bill.
However. it is rumorcd in the House
that the forthcoming legislative appro-
priation bill will carry a paragraph max
ing it necessary for every congressman
to file an expense account showing what
he has actually spent in railroad fares
coming to and going from Washington.
It is possible the bill will be passed in
such a manner as to allow congressman
to be reimbursed for the expense Of
their families in travelling.
If the bill appears in the House with
the provision outlined there is little
chance that any member will have the
hardihood to propose the old schedule OF
o., u n,.J1 a he jJIcf 20
of either arrangement. it takes a bold
representative these days to propose
anything that smacks Of an increase of
perqusites.

great pleasure to present you with this
medal. AS | stand here and look into
your soidierly face you show that YOU
desire nothing else but the conscious

Suns Rays Warm Up.

The suns rays increased markedly in
power today, and long before noon the
temperature had climbed to point which
made it possible to stroll around with
out being muff1ed to the ears. The cover
ing of snow and ice on the streets in the
residence districts of the city began to
melt early in the forenoon and by II
O'Clock many of the streets were free
from the greater part of the slippery
coating they have worn for some time
Temperatures somewhere down in the
upper twenties are to be expected to-
night, the weather bureau says. Which
is something different again from the be
low zero mark at which the mercury
rested early yesterday morning.

FOR NoN.PARTIsAN DELEGATES.
Citizens Union Wants strong Men
for Constitutional Convention.

William Jay Schieffelin, chairman OF
me Citizens Union said yesterday that
hs organization would take an active
part In the work of obtaining non-par-
usan delegates for the proposed consti-
iltional convention. The aim OF the Cit
isens Union Is to undertake through a
committee the study of the important
problems that will come before the con-
vent!on and to have strong men OF in
dependent training selected as delegates.
THE necessary preliminary work to
secure good nominations must be begun at
once Mr.. Scheffeln said although we
recognize that considerable doubt exists
AS 10 whether or not tho proposal for
mo holding of n constitutional convention
was honestly carried at the recent cleo
ton. The extent OF the alleged frauds
and their effect on the result should be
carefully investigated.
IT OF the honest votes cast there was
not a majority In favor of holding tho
convention, unquestlonably no convention
should be held. II this question is con-
tested II will require considerable time
20 settle II In the courts. There In not
time 70 delay the consideration OF the
choice OF delegates and the study OF con-
ttitutional problems until after the courts
have acted.
THE Citizens Union believed that few
% the constitutional changes likely to be
Considered are in any sense partisan. In
the main they involve questions on which
men OF all parties may well differ and
hs 10 which there are no clearly defined
party issues. craftsmanship. therefore.
rather than craftsmanship should be the
basis for the selection of delegates. The
union will bend It's energies to bring
about so far as possible the nomination
and election OF delegates to the conven-
ton who shall be men OF ability. char
acter and training. who shall hold sound
views with respect to fundamental prin-
c.ples OF government"

MINERS WIVES TELL OF FIGHTS.
Describe Experiences AZ Ludlow,
Col, During Trouble There.

Mrs Pearl jolly and Mrs. NJ. II.
Thomas, wives OF striking Colorado min
crs who came here with Judge Ben Lind
sey, described their experiences during
the battles at Ludlow yesterday at IA
meeting OF working mem and women
In Murray Hill Lyceum.
Mrs Thomas said that during one fight
she stood in the trenches and filled rifles
for four strikers who were resisting the
attack OF fifty militiamen and mine
guards. She said one OF the dreadful
things about the burning OF Ludlow
camp by the militia was that women lost
their minds when they realized that their
husbands and children had been killed.
Mrs jolly said the hatred of the miners
had been aggravated by insults offered
TO their wives and daughters by the mine
guards and miltiamen.
Judge Lindsey remained at the Hotel
Imperial yesterday. but denied himself
TO visitors. He will be one OF the speak
ers tonight at a protest meeting In Bee
thoven Hall. Mrs. jolly. Mrs. Thomas.
Mrs. Champion and Mrs. Petrucci. who
are at the Hotel Continental, will also be
AZ the meeting.
