Senator Shields.

Had he voted against favorable
report, as had been predicted, the
committee would have reported the
nomination to the senate without rec
concentration.
The nomination was sent to the
senate by President Wilson on Janu-
airy 28. Weeks were spent by sub
committee taking testimony regard
,, ing charges against Attorney Bran
deis, formulated by a committee of
citizens of Boston. The sub-commit-
tee recommended confirmation by a
strict party vote of three to two.
For weeks the judiciary committee
has debated the testimony taken by
the subcommittee. Doubt existed for
a long time as to the vote of Sena-
tors Reed O'Gorman, Smith, of Geor-
gia, and Shields. To win favorable
vote, it was necessary for all to vote
for Mr.. Brandeis. 1t became known
last week that Senators Reed, O'Gor-
man and Smith would vote for con-
firmation, but doubt continued about
Senator Shields.
The nomination will now be taken
to the senate and Mr.. Brandeis'
friends predict that confirmation will
follow shortly.

ROOSEVELT WITNESS
FOR PRESIDENT OF
RIGGS NATIONAL BANK
Testifies As To Good Character of
Washington Banker Now on Trial
For Perjury.

WASHINGTON D. c., May 23.-.-
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt appeared
in court here today as a character
of the Riggs National Bank, who with
two other officers of the institution
is under indictment on charges OF
perjury. His testimony was in many
respects similar to that of former
J President Taft, who appeared for Mr.
Glover several days ago.
Colonel Roosevelt reached the court
room several minutes before court
convened and was loudly cheered In
the course of his testimony he caused
some amusement by saying that
he thought Mr.. Glover supported eth
er Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Wilson in the 1912
campaign.
Knew Him Well Socially.
The Colonel said that while he first
knew Mr.. Glover in 1889, intimacy
between them started five or six
years later. Mr.. Glover was often a
guest at the White House, he added,
and the Roosevelt children were Of
ten guests at the bankers summer
home.
81 knew him very well socially"
continued the Colonel, especially in
connection with philanthropic work
he did in the District. | didn't have
much political talk with him. | know
in 1912 he did not support me.
knew he was for Mr. Wilson or Mr..
Taft, and / knew he was against me.
Our acquaintance was not political,
but of a social and business charac-
ter"
Faith in Glover.
The Colonel started to tell how he
kept his account in the bank because
of his faith in Mr.. Glover, but Dis
trict Attorney Laskey objected that
his answer was beyond that allowed
a character witness. Colonel Roose-
welt solved the difficulty himself by
getting in about the same answer
IN another way.
my general knowledge of Mr.. GLOW
IN by universal report" he said, was.
hat his business integrity was such
hat naturally I and my children
Iept our accounts in his bank"
Mr.. Laskey moved to strike this
tut as voluntary statement, but |
Justice Siddons allowed it to remain. I
Mr.. Roosevelt concluded by saying
hat while he was not well acquaint- I
d with the other defendants. William i
(. Flather and Henry F. Father, vice {

REBUKE THAT WAS NEEDED
Very Probably, After This Lesson,
Mrs. Johones VIII Carry Her Small
Purchases Home.

Mrs. Johones is an inyeterate shop
per. The other morning she went
to the local Diapers and, after turn
ing three departments upside down,
solemnly bought reel of cotton, and
asked them to send it home.
"That's the limitw gasped the
owner, when he heard the result of
the lady's visit. SBut well get even
with her."
That afternoon a large wagon
drew up at the gate of Mrs. Johones'
pretentious villa. On the vehicle sat
three burly laborers, strenuously
holding on to something in the
middle of the dray.
With many 'Whoas!" and sundry
other shouts, the dray backed on to
the pavement, the laborers struggled
and gasped and groaned, and hauled
down TO the road leyel-the reel of
cottonl
This was solemnly rolled up the
garden path, and appended on the
doorstep. Then the men grayely re-
sumed their places on the wagon,
which drove away.
The delight of the watching neigh
bors was complete when Mrs. Jo-
homes, very red of face, opened the
front door, kicked the reel wildly
into the road and then slammed the
door agaip.-London Tit-Bits..

TWO FUNERALS HIS PORTION
Mayor Of Swiss Community Is 70 BE
Credited With Rather a Remark
able Distinction.


In the cemetery at Goschenen, in
Switzerland, a strange burial took
place at the end of the nineteenth
century. The coffin, small one, de-
Gently and decorously consigned to
earth, contained part Of a human leg,
boot, some shreds of clothing, and
one franc, fifty confines of Swiss
money. The unusual ceremony was
the concluding chapter of a sad his
tory that began on the Rhone glacier
eighteen years before.
In the summer Of 1882 the burgo-
master of Goschenen and two friends
undertook the ascent of the glacier.
All three lost their lives, and the
bodies were found a week later fro
zen stiff. That of the burgomaster
was stuck fast in a creyasse, and in
dragging it forth the frozen right
leg broke off like a snapped icicle,
and fell into the blue depths of the
assure. The poor, mutilated body
was laid away in the cemetery with
every honor, for the mayor had been
greatly loved and respected in his
little community.
The peasants say, "seyen years
The glacier grows; seven years she
melts;;" and in melting she honestly
brings to the mouth of her river all
that has fallen down her icy, blue
throat-a belief that, although part
ly, fanciful, contains much that is
true. BY this strange operation of
nature the leg of the mayor Of Co
schenen came to light after eighteen
years. The boot was still on the
foot; some rags of clothing chung to
the leg; even the trifing sum of
money in the unfortunate mans
trousers pocket was honestly returned
by the glacier, which keeps nothing
not its own.
After eighteen years the leg was
buried beside its master. The tragic
pathos of its recovery robbed the oc-
currence of all absurdity.-Youth's

'You pay License on them all, I
suppose? ?" asked the constable.
"Not me. Only on this one," was
the answer.
Next day. the man received a sum-
mons to appear before the local
bench of magistrates for default in
payment of license for two dogs.
He duly appeared, and on being
asked If he owned three dogs and
only paid license for one, he smiled
sweetly and replied:
"Well, yes; and here are the two
l don't pay license on" producing
at the same time two china dogs
from his coat pockets.
The constable looked surprised,
the court laughed till the windows
ratified, and the man was allowed his
full expenses.-London Answers.
