RED LIGHT" MEASURE
FAVORABLY REPORTED
Now Ready for Discussion by House.
Free Rides" Bill Strikes
Snags.

The kenyon red light bill was re-
ported favorably from the House Dis
trict committee today, and ia ready to
be taken up for discussion by the House.
Following the hearing on the bill yes
terday, the committee today decided to
report the bill with little discussion and
no opposing vote. It Is the much dis
cussed measure which Is said to be ex-
tremely effective in cleaning out red
light" districts and putting an end to
the white slave traffic In other cities,
particularly in the state Of Iowa.
Discussion of the Kahn "free-rides
bill, allowing policemen and firemen to
ride free on street cars in the District
Of Columbia, disclosed the fact that the
measure is not SO simple as it was first
supposed to be. All sorts of legal and
otner difficulties in the way of a law
to allow policemen and firemen to ride
free on street cars loomed up as the
discussion moved along.
Committee Favors Plan.
Every one on the committee is in favor
Of effecting this arrangement, the dis
cussion being over the framing Of the
proper bill. Chairman Johnson will ask
representatives of the street railways
to give suggestions to the committee as
to a method of allowing the men free
transportation without interfering with
the conductors work or record for
honesty.
Representative L'Engle of Florida
called up his resolution requiring that
paid lobbyists announce themselves, their
work and their fee when appearing in
advocacy or opposition TO matters before

Mas a Fine Course.

Donald Brian, the musical comedy
star, gleefully chuckled the other
night when the conversation in a
theatrical club turned to golf He said
he was reminded of an incident that
happened at country club in New
England.
One day a member of the club was
entertaining a friend, and after con-
siderable persuasion induced him to
take a turn at golf. The friend was
just about as familiar with the game
as a golden harp. tuner is with a
blacksmith tongs, and naturally the
fuss he made was certainly some
show.
In trying to make brassie shot he
tore up considerable turf, which
struck him fairly in the face. This
happened twice, and just at that mo-
ment another club member ap-
preached.
''Mr. JONES'" he said, as the visitor
paused to scrape his complexion,
what do you think of our course?"
'It's fine!" was the prompt response
of the visitor "As a matter Of fact,
I think it is the very best have ever
tasted. d."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

ACTED AS PENDULUM
SOLDIERS LIFE SAVED BY HIS
QUICK WIT AND NERVE.
Remarkable story, Long Current In
North Of England, of How Sir John
Macdonald Escaped After Dis
astrous CuIloden Battle.

"A story is told of an old clock which
may very likely be true, though the
hero of it must have been very slight
ly built, says the Young Woman.
After the fatal day of Culloden, a
famous battle in Scotland, the sol
diers of the defeated army fled In all
directions, and one Of them took ref
uge in a small farmhouse, where-he
found sympathizing friends. Iley
gave him food in the kitchen, while
some one watched in case he was
pursued. He had finished his meal,
and hoping he had escaped notice, was
just preparing to set off again when
there was a cry, THE soldiers are
coming!" He attempted to make Off
by the back way, but it was seen that
the party had divided, and were ap-
preaching from both directions.
There was hurried lcok around for
a place of refuge Into the clock
with you lad" said the farmer, and
into the long case the fugitive
squeezed. But there was not room
for him and for the pendulum to
swing. "You must pull on the wheel
yerself," said the owner, and the clock
responded with a steady tick! tick!
Has Sir John Macdonald passed
this way?" demanded the captain, as
the troop entered the kitchen, and,
hardly waiting for a reply, began a
thorough search upstairs and down,
They were soon satisfied that he
whom they sought was not there.
well for you, farmer, he's not" said
the captain grimly. Give us some
food before we start off again. We
shan't lose him in half an hour, as
he's on foot and we ride"
How slowly the seconds seemed to
pass while the men ate and drank,
till at last the welcome sound of
pushed back stools scraping on the
tagged floor told the human pendu-
lum that his task was nearly done.
"Good-by, farmer. Your clock warns
me we must be off" and at last the
captain marched off with his men.
Tickl Tick! Tick! Hardly had the
last man gone when the fugitive fell
in dead faint. The strain of keep
ing the clock going at an even pace
had been terrible. He got safely
away but it is said that to his dying
day the ticking of clock in quiet
room made him feel faint.
