WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 24.- The house of representatives passed the time today in debating the pro posal submitted for a food inquiry on the part of the Federal Trade commission. The proposal itself was not so much the subject of debate as was the appropriation of $100.000 suggested to cover the expense of the investigation. The item was fin ally accepted. It is contained in the sundry civils bill, which also con tains the provision for $10,500000 to be appropriated for construction work on the Alaska railroad during the coming summer, and for other large Alaska appropriations

At that time tbe Democratic leaders agreed that the administration revenue bill, against which the operations of the Republicans were being conducted. will not be voted upon before next Wednesday, In the meantime, how ever, the appropriation bills may be brought up by unanimous consent
 The Democratic leaders believe hat the arrangement will save the necessity of an extra session oi con ggess, which was thought probable yesterday. Several of the senators say, however. that d vote on the revenue bill on Wednesday will not necessarily avert the threatened ex- tra session.
 Aside from other legislation, the three most important appropriation measures which have not yet been taken up by the senate, up to the present time, are bills for supplies or the army and navy and the sun dry civils bill.

Three weeks ago we started to get

They went to work with vim, select
ed nice pieces, wrote them off and
gave them to the pupils. Then the
pupils went to work with a vim and
learned their parts. We had MANY
hindrances. The cold weather and
heavy rains conflicted with our prac-
tice The storm damaged our school
property considerably and injured our
organ SO that tune can not be play
ed on it, SO we had to drop the mu-
steal part of our programme.
We arranged everything for the en-
tertainment, had the room and stage
decorated and were practicing our
pieces for the last time when the
floor, owing to decayed timber and
injury done by the storm fell through
For moment we were dismayed, but
Mr.. Harvey said, at will not do to
give up:
Mr.. Harvey led us into the other
room and called on miss Donna
Stone and Miss Clara Bell Stone to
assist him in serving refreshments
The refreshments were great sur
prise to the pupils. Mr.. Harvey told
us few anecdotes and had big
laugh, and we all ftf much better.
Then Mr.. Harvey said: "Those who
have the grit to overcome difficulties
and make success of it any way
get to work"
Instantly all the pupils went to
work, crrried the desks in the other
room, decorated it, arranged the cur.
tain and soon had everything in fail
order.

Where the claims of shippers against
railroads are well founded they are
paid promptly, declared Commissioner
James S. Harlan of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to the mem
bers of the Freight Claim Association

investigation made by the Commission
and the surprise Of it's members at
the excellent showing as to prompt
payments made by the railroads.
Before taking my seat" said Mr..
Harlan, Il wish to make a very frank
confession. During the course of nv
ten years service on the Commission
so many complaints had come to me
of the delay in the payment by car
riers OF the claims of shippers that
had come to think that the matter
of claim adjustments was very weak
spot in cur railroad administration.
l was, therefore, particularly interest
ed in the suggestion that interroga-
lions should be addressed by the com.
mission to the carriers for the purpose
OF ascertai1ing, among other things.
the length of time taken by them in
settling the claims of Shippers.
The results that were tabulated by
the commission on the answers return
ed by the carriers about a year ago
were so surprising to me and to my
colleagues and were considered by us
of such Importance that we at once re-.
ported the facts to the Congress as
useful public information. wish to
congratulate the association on the
showing made.
'The trouble with us was that we
had made no distinction between
claims that had been declined or that
were without merit and therefore still
pending, and claims that were well
founded and had been promptly ad.
