WAS ALMOST ROBBED
WHILE SOUND ASLEEP

Had 1t not been for the alertness OF
Congressman Smith, Of Idaho, Carson
City would have lost her mint in the
House OF Representatives. and this
too, in the face OF the fact that Con
gresham Roberts was shown TO be
present.
The Congressional Record. contain
ing the official proceedings OF the
House OF Representatives is the au.
thority for this statement. 1t will be
found on pages 1886 and 1887 OF the
Record for March 3. 1916, recording
the debate on that portion of the Leg.
islative. Executive and Judicial appro-
priation bin relating to the Carson
Mint.
Congressman Good, of Iowa. a Re
publican, moved to strike out the item
making an appropriation for the main.
tenance of this mint. In support of
this motion Mr.. Good made an attack
on the Carson Mint, and although Mr..
Roberts was present the record fails
10 show that he uttered a word in pro-
test.
Congressman Smith. of Idaho as the
record shows. made a hard fight to
retain the appropriation. Mr.. Good.
of Iowa. could not understand the So
lIcltude of a congressman from Idaho
for a Nevada mint and so advised Mr..
Smith. The latter replied that he was
standing up for Nevada, leaving the
inference that someone should do so
as It did not appear TO be represented
in the house.
Thus, the records disclose a lament
able condition for Nevada in the lower
house OF the national congress. 1t Is
useless TO argue the advantages of the
mint to Nevada--the miners recognize
IS Importance.

the place OF the passive Mr.. Roberts
Will change these conditions ard Idaho
will not be obliged to lend g. distance

feel grateful to Congressman Smith of
that State.
What gratitude does 1t owe MIR. Rob,

ARMY BILL PASSAGE
 VIRTUALLY ASSURED
Only Two Important Sec tions Stand in the
 Way.

Washington, March 23.-ConSidera- was continued in the house today with only two important sections of the measure still awaiting disposition. One was the military pay provision, under which the bill is expected to produce a force of 425,000 national guardsmen within five years as a sub stitute for the administrations con tinental army proposal, and the other was that providing for the construc- ton of a nitrate plant.
 Prospects were that these pro- visions would cause extended debate and that further efforts to amend the bill to prohibit the use of the na- tional guard by states for strike duty, which failed twice in the house yes terday, would be made today. De- spite this, however passage of the Eill virtually was assured during the 0ay. Chairman Chamberlain of the senate military committee, plans to call the house bill up i'll the senate probably next week.
 When the house resumed work to- day Representative Gardner's amend ment proposing to substitute for the militia pay provision the volunteer provisions of the Chamberlain senate bi1 was pending. An agreement had been reached for an hours debate on the amendment It was not expected that the amendment would be adopted.
 The Chamberlain bill doubling the number of cadets at West Point Mili- 1 tary Academy passed by the senate | ,ate yesterday by a vote of 59 to ,, 1 went to the house today.

LARGEST ICE CROP
 IN CITY'S HISTORY
Over 3O,OOO Tons in Houses and Twice As Much Could Be
 Cut

While between thirty and forty thou sand tons of ice have been harvested in New Britain since winter set in, this is less than half the quantity that could have been cut according to d statement made today by a prominent local ice man. At the present time the ponds about the city are coated with thirteen inch ice and this is March 23. l have never seen such a condition De- fore, said the ice man, and l have been familiar with the business over thirty years.
 Yesterday the third crop of the sea- son was cut and housed at the old Rhodes. house on Shuttle Meadow avenue and the only reason more will not be harvested is due to lack of room. Several years ago a large ad- dition was built at the Rhodes house and only twice since it was erected has it been filled to the caves.
 Doerr's big house further along on Shuttle Meadow avenue is cramned to the roof with ice and so are the big houses at White Oak. The independ- ent dealers have filled their houses the city ice house at Shuttle Meadow contains upwards of 5000 tons Ice should be cheap next summer regard less of the war. The New Britain Ice Corporation, the largest harvesters and dealers in the comm odity in the city, estimates roughly that it will have p, 900 tons to sell during the coming summer, and besides the crops har, vested by the independent dealers Inc city will have 5,00C tons for local con- sumption.
