 HOURS DISCUSSION
 There was an hours discussion in the House when the committee presented its resolution providing for the employment of counsel and extension of time. Repre- sentative Howard of Georgia promptly opposed the plan. saying he understood Samuel Untermyer of New York was to be retained. Representative Moore of Pennsylvania suggested the name Of Charles Evans Hughes
 q am convinced" said Republican Leader Mann, that the employment of either Samuel Untermyer or Mr. Hughes would be an act of such gross lmpropriety that it would not be considered for mo- ment by the committee.
 There ought to be thorough investi- gation. If men are proven guilty they should suffer. It is due the honor of this country that if they are innocent they should be proved innocent. Personally, I believe that no man in high official places will be found to be guilty of this thing which would be an act of treason to the country.'
 ATTACK BY FOCHT
 Representative Focht of Pennsylvania, republican, assailed the inquiry as a "col- ossal farce" denounced Lawson as a Wall street tout and declared Congress ought to wash it's hands of the whole affair and throw out the evidence as worthless, damaged goods"
 Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin, a republican member of the committee, ton with competent counsel. There had not been the slightest suggestion from any member that Untermyer might be the counsel, he said.
 Among the witnesses here today were Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the Ma tional City bank of New York; Malcolm McAdoo, a brother of the Secretary of the Treasury; Jules S. Balche, a New York financier; Erman J. Ridgeway of Everybodys Magazine; John O'Hara Cos grave of the New York World John R. Rathom of the Providence Journal, and Fred J. Wilson. general manager of the International News Service. MRS. VISCONTI READY Mrs. Ruth Thoma<pn visconti, who, Lawson says, told hYin that Secretary Tumulty and others profited by a lleak, was not on hand, but Sergeant at-Arms Gordon said she had agreed to appear when wanted.
 MT. Lawson was an early arrival at the committee room. He worked his way forward toward the committee table through a dense throng that had gathered to witness the proceedings, and remained there chatting with friends until the hearing had been postponed.
 Late tonight the democrats of the committee adjourned their conference until tomorrow without reaching any lconclusion. It is understood that they talked over the qualifications of half a dozen noted lawyers and the poss- bility of getting their services. There are intimations that some of the men under consideration do not care to take 1 the job.
 | It is probable that no attempt will | be made to hold further hearings be- l fore sometime next week.

TEXT OF MESSAGE
!e Presidents message follows:

fA AHe HreSldentS message follows:
 Tt Is with deepest regret that an- nounce to the Congress the death of Admiral George Dewey at $50 o'clock on the afternoon of yesterday, the 18th of January, at his residence in this city.
 Admiral Dewey entered the naval service of the country as an acting midshipman from the First congress siona1 district of Vermont on Septem- Der 23. 1854; was graduated from the Naval academy as midshipman June II, 1858; served with distinction through out the war of 1S61-1885 and 30 years faeer had risen to the rank of com modore.
 Tt was as commodore that he rem dered the service in the action of Ma nila bay which has given him a place forever memorable In the naval an nals of the country
 At the time of his death he held the exceptional rank of the admiral of the navy by special act of Congress During the latter years of his official life he was the honored president of the general board of the navy, to
 
 siduous attention and in which office he rendered service to the navy quite invaluable in it's sincerity and quality of practical sagacity.
 Tt is pleasant to recall what quau- ties gave him his well-deserved fame: His practical directness; his courage without self-consciousness his eff cient capacity in matters of admin tstration; the readiness to fight with out asking any questions or hesitat- ing about any details. It was by such qualities that he continued and added luster to the best traditions of our navy. He had the stuff in him which all true men admire and upon which all statesmen must depend in hour of peril.
 the United States will always rejoice to perpetuate his name in all honor and affection"

Governor Norbeck, in his message to
the legislature, said: The adminstra-
ton OF affairs at the State Sanatorium
for tuberculosis at Custer, by Superin-
tendent Il. +. Woodwork, is heartily
recommended and the legislature is
urged to provide Immediately sufficient
funds for the enlargement Of this insti-
tuition to take care of at least a fair share

south Dakota who are deserving Of
treatment in such an institution En-
dorsement is given to an appropriation
for main fire proof building and for a
central heating plant to replace the
forty-nine stoves which are now in use
in the institution. This institution at
the present time is entirely unable to
take care of such as urgently apply for
admission. Often they cannot be re-
ceyed until it is too late and the wait
ing list is being reduced more frequently
by death than by admission

about S3S0,0OO for building improve
ments for the next yeay. The largest
part of this will be at the northern hos
pital at Redfeld, where they want
100000 to complete the administration
building. for which the foundation was
provided by the last legislature They
will ask for $4,000 at the tuberculosis
sanatorium at Custer. Ofthis they want
225,OO0 for a central heating plant, in
stead of the use Of large number OF
stoves now the only heating system; in
addition they ask for S47 900 to increase
the buildings and the capacity of the
institution Another feature Of their
request is an appropriation of $500
to purchase a tract of land for farming
purposes at the state deaf school They
believe that the pupils at that school
should be given out of door work, and
an agricultural training They suggest

AN AUTOMATIC BooKKEEPER.

a real uttNdNlCal uiciNFl lH Llc new
bookkeeping machine that has just been
installed at the First National Bank.
The machine is the Burroughs Adding
Subtracting Model and will greatly
simplify the work Of keeping the bank
books.
One should see this Burroughs in op-
Grafton to fully appreciate what a won
derful thing it is. 1t automatically
prints dates, subtracts checks adds de-
posits and computes new balances, all in
one movement of the carriage across the
page, and with q speed that seems in
credible That is to say, the machine
not only posts figures 10 the ledger page,
but computes balances au,onalicau. as
the posting is done
Error-Proof steel agMns"
And this automatic book keeper cant
make a mistake, His steel brains are
mathematically error-proof Depressing
the key puts figures into the Bur
roughs Touching a bar adds or sub
tracts the figures and prints them in
even rows And no matter how fast or
how long you feed figures into it, NE
machine never gets tired, never lets .r-
rors creep in through brain fag. It
has just as lively an appetite for large
numbers as " small. As a depositJr
you might dyp- SI0OOO,OOO tomorrow,
but the machine would not have to ez-
ert itself to enter the amount, add your
old balance, subtract your checks and
automatically compute the correct new
balance of your account The only time
it balks is when YOU have an oyerdratt.
Then it warns the operator by the sim.
pie eXpedent Of refusing to figure auy
more without the subtract lever is
held down, that your account is over
drawn and thereupon proceeds TO print
a red "OD' signal opposite the amount
you need to get square with the bank
Heretofore in posting to the ledger it
was necessary for a lst of checks and
deposits to be entered by hand in order
tor the bank to properly debit aud cred.
it each customers account The book
keepers had to add each list Of check
mentally, also had to add all deposits
and combine their total with the Gus
TONER'S old balance When that Was
done, the total of al, the checks had TO
be deducted from the sum of old balance
and deposits to determine the new bal
ance With the machine all this is ac-
complished automatically and without
any mental calculation whatever. The
operator has only to depress the proper
keys and touch the operating bar
Burroughs-posted Iedgers have many
advantages that even person who is
not familiar with bookkeeping will
recognize As explained an figuring is
handled mechanically, The operator be.
ing obliged only to watch the amounts
he is entering.
Then, in addition to TIE speed and
economy such a method affords, there is
the inallibIe accuracy earaiug to the
use Of the machine The precision with
which the internal mechanism operates
iusures an exactitude heretofore IN
known in figure work.
The adaptabiIity of the new machine
is another feature Of it- usefulness 1t
