WIFE BEATER JAILED.

Judge Frank Wilder has little sympathy with men who make a prac.l tice of beating their wives. This morning in the city court he sent John Lavisiy to jail for five months and ordered him to pay fine of $1 and court costs. Lavisky was arrested at his home, 2045 State street, yester- day afternoon by Policeman Steve Kelly, after he had beaten his wife and chased her out of the house.

, Encouraging Capital.

Finder the above caption the Manila Daily Bulletin publishes the follow ing:s
 The bill introduced In the House by Representative Nieva, authorizing Inc sgovernment of the Philippines to Euafantee an interest at not exceed inx ! 6 per cent. per annum on any Am4rican or Filipino capital invested for the purpose of exploiting deter mined national industry. will, if 1t be- comes law. go long way toward en- sEpuraging capital to help In the eco homie development. of the country, and ought to induce Filipino capital fists sto invest their funds where they Hiill help. in building up the industries 50 badly needed ip the islands.
 Such a measure, if it. receives the sanction of the leEislature., will do much Howard relieving the fears or American capitalists regarding in vestmehts in the Philippines under present conditions It will show that it is the desire not only to encourage the coming of capital to the islands, but also to afford a reasonable guar antee against the risks incident to the development of new industries.
 The principal railroad lines in the United States were induced to build their roads by the large inducements offered in the way of and and bonds by the national and local governments. That it was a wise thing to do IS proved by the great prosperity that followed the building of these rail- roads and the opening up. of the coun- try and markets as a conseQuence. Had the national government not given these enormous land grants and the local governments not issued their bonds in aid of this railroad con- stfuction, the building of trans-con- tinental railroads would have been postponed for many years, and pros- perity a much longer time.
 Legislation that will encourage capital to come into the islands and hasten the development of many in- dustries that can only be developed by the investment of capital in large amouNts, is good legislation. If our coal. oil. ivon and copper fields could bgmade more productive, more sugar centrals established, paper mills and alcohol factories successfully oper- ated, more modern methods for hand ling hemp and copra installed and better and more shipping facilities se- cured, by this guarantee on the capi- tai willing to undertake such develop ment, such a law would be the great est blessing the legislature could be- stow upon the people of these islands.
 Something must be done by the leg islature to encourage capital or the development necessary for the pro- gress all hope for must be long de- 1ayed. It takes money to get results out of raw material, and it takes en- cQuragement, if capital Is to be in duced to come here in sufficient amount to secure these results. It is possible that the bill introduced by M. Nieva does not go far enough for that encouragement. but it is, a long stepin the right direction, and toward the kind of legislation needed for the development of the country.

How is the present session of con- 'sress numbered, and why7
 The present session is the second S, sion of the Sixty-fourth congress. I'll life of congress is two years, mem bers being elected for that period. The first congress met on March 4, 17S9. The constitution provided that congress should assemble March 4, 17S9, and thereafter fin every year on the first Monday in December unless they shall by law appoint different day." Up to and including May 20, 1920, eighteen different acts were passed providing for the meeting of congress on different days, but since 1920 congress has met regularly on the first Monday in De- cember. The term of the present con- gress will expire March 4, 1917, and that of the Sixty-fifth congress, num- bering from the year, 1789, will begin on that date, though unless there is an extra session it will not meet until Dec. 8.
