CAPITOL EMPLOYEES

All Capitol employees are living in hopes
that before the Sixty-fourth Congress

the spike in the track that will derail its
passage, according to precedent.
The Senate has always given such a
bill a clear track, but the House, under
Democratic rule, has consistently oppos-
ed such perquisites to Capitol employees.
Under Republican administrations, It
was customary to grant a months extra
pay to the Congressional force at the end
of a session, but the Democratic leaders
have consistently opposed such legtsla-
ton, and the only hope for its success
this term Is the prospect Of a close cleo
don.
A mileage appropriation would give
Capitol employees an opportunity to go
home and vote, a privilege which many
cannot AFFORD unless the bill Is passed

The letter in full is as follows:
We are informed that your city
council has raised a question concern
ing fire protection and insurance rates
in connection with the use of the De
La Vergne oil engine. There appears
to be misunderstanding about the
fire protection provided for Ocala in
the new plant, and we feel that we
ought to make plain to the council of
what this protection consists.

His Crime on the Imaginary
'Man from Egypt"
(Associated Press)

New York, May 25.-The first to
save DR.. Arthur Warren Waite from
the electric chair began today. The
prosecution closed its case yesterday.
This morning the defense's counsel
marshalled alienists and relatives of
the accused man to prove him insane
when he killed his wealthy father-in-
law, John E. Peck of Grand Rapids,
Mich, by giving him repeated doses
of arsenic. 1t is understood the de-
Tense will not claim that Waite is in
sane now. An effort will be made to
show that his condition was highly
nervous several months preceding the
death of Peck and that he was subject
to stobsessions and a victim of mental
suggestions coming from another
self" which the defendant called the
"man from Egypt"
Frank Waite, brother of the de-
fendant, will tell of his early life and
the family history. DR.. Arthur Waite
will be placed on the stand to testify
in his own behalf, probably before the
day is over.
