A Flood of Bills.

Washington. May Io-Enougll
bills were introduced in the House
today to keep the body continuously
at work through the year. More
than 1000 measures were placed in
the House hopper. h.
While most of the bills provide for
the contribution to various communi-
ties of cannon and German field
pieces captured by the American Ex-
peditionary Forces, much of the leg
islation that failed at the last session
was again introduced and new meas
ures came from the Republican side
as part of the legislative program
agreed upon at the party caucus.
First on the House calendar by
virtue of being the first measure in
troduced, is the joint resolution OF
Representative Mann for a federal
constitutional amendment providing
equal suffrage. Next is the bill of
sofa, providing for immediate return
of telegraph and telephone lines.
Bills to repeal wartime prohibi-
ton, the luxury tax section of the
war revenue bill and taxes on soda
fountain products went early into the
hopper.
Numerous other bills would pro-
vide a larger bonus for men dis
charged from military and naval SER
vice than the sixty dollars set aside
under the war revenue bill.
Prohibitory immigration legisla-
ton Is embodied in a bill introduced
by Representative Lufl<in of Massa-
chusetts, who asked early considera-
tion for it. =
Creation of department of educa-
ton with cabinet officer at the head
and proposals that Ia million dol |
lars be appropriated for combating |

BAD MAN IN BATES COUNTY
JAIL
Self-Confessed Slayer of Barton
County Sheriff and His Son
Brought Here for Safe
keeping.

| Jay Lynch. who last March shot
and killed Sheriff John Harlow and
his son. Richard and escaped from
the Barton county Jail, was last week
captured at La Junta, Colorado, and
Tuesday morning Sheriff sewell,
successor to the murdered sheriff,
brought Lynch to Butler and placed
him i'll the Bates county Jail for safe
keeping.
wednesday woman, representing
herself to be sister of Lynch ap-
peared at the Jail and asked to see
him, but Sheriff Baker thought it
best not to let her in.
Lynch talked freely, Sheriff Sewell
said admitting he had killed Harlow
and his 2o-year-od son while escap-
ing Jail at Lamar. Sewell now has
the revolver with which Lynch shot
the Harlows.
Lynch has waived preliminary
hearing, Sewell said, but the date of
his trial has not been set. Sewell
fears no difficulty i'll returning Lynch
to Lamar, saying he would have
fair trial. Feeling which was bitter
against the slayer at the time OF the
murders, Sewall says, has died down
and he can control" his people"
Mrs. L.eola Lynch, wife, and Mrs.
Maude Lynch, mother. of the MUIR
derer, now are held on the suspicion
that they smuggled the revolver to
Lynch he used in effecting his es-
cape. Fear of violence at Lamar
prompted their removal to the Dade
County Jail.
Arrested in St. Louis last summer,
Lynch gave a demonstration OF his
shooting ability by splitting play
ing card with bullet at seventy-five
feet, before detectives in the police
shooting gallery.
Dispatches from Lamar to the
Kansas City papers say that when
the posse was searching for Lynch
the night following the killing that
he stood on the corner near the
Mills-Walters lumber yard in that :.
city and watched a band of. citizens
with bloodhounds in their fruitless
search for his trail. His trail was
wierd one. the trail of hunted man,
lost and. exhausted from his tramp
ngs, through all hours OF the night
Of March 3 after he had fled from the
Lamar Jail. He swan creek at least
4 half dozen times in his bewilder-
nent and then the lights of a town
irew him to the corner from where
lie watched the posse.
Lynch then resumed his flight,
mile and half west of
he town to Grin Combs big hay
,arn where he lurked for three days.
The next night he traced his way to
Oskaloosa. where he boarded
reight train which took him to Kan
as City. From there he went to st.
-ouis where he was sheltered in the
lone of an old woman, friend of
lis. There he was cared for through
'ut two weeks OF illness brought on
y his exhaustion.
In St. Louis he obtained $1,000
With which he purchased a motor car
t Jacksonville, ILL.,, and headed west.
Ills travelling led him to the border
( Mexico where a guard denied him
to make more secure his
scape.
1t was in La Junta, Colo, that his
,inding trail came to an end. A
ormer resident of Barton County
here recognized the fugitive and an
rrest followed. Sheriff Sewell of
.amar went after him and brought
i'm back.
Lynch had $ro5.4s and two $50
liberty Bonds when captured.

GOTH CONGRESS IN SESSION
Reconstruction Session Assembled
Monday. Republicans Have
Control for the First lime
80 Since IoII.

/ Washington, May 1o.-The recon.
1 struetion' Congress, assembling in
extraordinary session at noon today
| under the call issued by Presiden,
t.Wilson from Paris, May ?, marked
1.-THE return to power of the Republi-
cans and loss by the Democrats OF
control over the national Legislative
body. Organizations of both Senate
and House by the new majority was
| todays principal business.
| Promptly at IL o'clock Vice Presi-
dent Marshall in the Senate and
South Trimble, clerk of the House,
let fall their respective gavels-and
the first all-Republican Congress in
eight years got under way, a.
Prayers were uttered in 10th
branches at the start off for the sue
cess of the work and the health and
welfare of the members
Then the house proceeded to the
business of electing a speaker-Rep-
resentative Gillett of Massachusetts,,
and the Senate turned to electing a
president pro tempore, Senator Cum
minis of Iowa. Senator Cummins de-
feated Senator Key Pittman of Ne
vada, Democrat, by a record vote Of
AZ to AZ.
Packed galleries, with many per-
sons of note, provided color for the
opening. Strange faces at the doors
and on the floors gave evidence of
the change in its political complex
ion.
Shortly after completing prelinl-
mary organization, both houses ad-
journed.
The Republicans today, for the
first time since 1911, had majorities
i'll both branches of Congress as a re.
suit OF the congressional elections
last November. In the House they
have margin of two score votes,
hut in the Senate their majority is
only two, raising questions, i'll view
OF factional and other differences of
future action.
With President Wilson a Demo-
crat, the change in political complex
ion of Congress presents situation
rather similar to that in the last two
years of former President Taft's ad-
ministration when there was a DEM
ocratic House, and to President
Cleveland's administration, in which
there was Republican Congress.
The Senate assembling today had
forty-nine Republicans and forty
seven Democrats. The new House
E0l lists ,238 Republicans. l8o.. Demo-
Gratis, two Independents, one Prohi-
one Socialist and four va
cancies (all in Democratic districts)
"a total of 43s. The House division
gives the Republicans a majority of
forty-six over the Democrats and
thirty over all combined opposi-
ton.
Republican action promises, how
ever, to be restrained by President |
Wilson's veto power, as a two
thirds vote is necessary to override a
veto. Cooperation between admin
stration officials and the Republi-
ans is expected on uncontested mat
.erS.
Assembling OF the new Congress
vas marked by the establishment of
nore precedents. 1t was the first
ime that Congress, hadS convened
