HOUSE HELD BY
PRICE CUT QUIZ
Five Week Recess Abandoned on
Wilson Plea for Investigation
OF Living Cost.

Washington, Aug. efforts to
have the house recess for two
weeks were blocked today by Rep
Tesentative Igoe, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, who refused unanimous con-
sent for consideration of the recess
resolution until the house acted on
his measure proposing an inVesti-
cation of the high cost of shoes.
With their proposed five weeks
! recess abandoned at the request Of
President Wilson, who requested
that they remain in session TO con-
slider a new labor crisis, preCipitat-
ed by the demands of railroad en-
ployes for increased wages, mem
bers of the house today set about
re-arrangements to meet the uneX-
pected development. without for
NAL request by the president by
which creation of a commission to
determine all questions concerning
the wages Of railway men be con-
sidered, it generally is recognized
that problem before the house will
be that of the high cost of living on
which claims of the railway men
are based and a lowering Of which
would be expected to solve the sit
uation.
Only One Opposed.
It was expected that agreement
would be reached today on a plan
to permit members to go home un-
der three-day continuous recess
program. their presence in the
house to be assured when the ad-
ministration plans for lowering
living costs are presented, probably
late next week. The vote to aENl-
don the recess was not recorded
and was almost unanimous. Repre-
sentative Blanton, Texas, voiced the
only opposition on the floor and this
was due, he said. to the fact the
railway brotherhoods are trying to
hold up the country for about the
seventh time"
Representative Fitzgerald Of
Massachusetts called at the White
house today to advocate increased
wages for all government en-
ployes.
Ask Aid for All.
"In view OF the presidents stand
regarding increases for railroad
employees" said Mr.. Fitzgerald.
something should he done for all
classes Of government employees,
all of whom are VIGOROUSLY under
paid"
without a record vote, the senate
today adopted a resolution request
ing the sIlate banking committee
to report whether legislation to re
duce the amount Of currency in cir
CulatiOn was advisable as a means
of reducing the cost of living. The
resolution was sponsored by Sena-
tor Meyers, Democrat of Montana.

persons were missing and a score
were injured in the conflagration.
The buildings destroyed consist
ed chiefly of one and two story
frame. dwellings. Three thousand
men, women and children have
been rendered homeless by the fire
and the bad feeling between the
whites and negroes greatly aggra-
waited. State troops were sent to
the scene of the fire to disperse the
crowds and prevent renewal of
race riots.
Negroes With Torches Seen.
A number of witnesses have
been found by the police who say
they saw several bands of negroes
with burning torches in the dis
trict shortly before the fire was
discovered. The fire broke out in
three different sections of the dis
trict at the same time, according
to the police.
Telephone wires in the district
were cut few moments after the
blaze broke out. Several residents
declare they saw negroes fleeing
from the scene after the fire was
discovered. A number of shots
were fired at negroes in automo-
biles, who it is said, were attempt
ing to escape after the fires were
started. One negro was said to
have been wounded but was car
ried away by his companions.
Gasoline Thrown on Houses.
Fire Chief O'Connor after a hasty
investigation, declared that the
fires were undoubtedly of incendi-
ary origin and evidently started by
throwing gasoline on the outside of
the building and applying a light
ed torch or matches.
Several residents of the district
told the police that they saw ne
groes with lighted torches running
through the streets near their
homes a few minutes after the dis
covery of the flames.
Telephone Wires Cut.
Other witnesses declare they saw
negroes cutting telephone wires in
the district
Fire Attorney Harry Donnelly
gave the names of II persons who
declare they saw negroes in the
district bearing burning torches
and cutting telephone wires.
The situation in other sections
of tn danger zone of the south side
was reported satisfactory to the
authorities although there were a
number of minor disturbances.
White Man Beaten.
a white junk dealer was dragged
from his wagon by negroes, and
beaten. A crowd of 500 white men
gathered at West Fifty-fifth street
and Ravine avenue and jeered the
state militiamen. The crowd was
by the troops.
At a conference between Adju-
tant General Dickson and Chief of

"HANG ON FOR MANY YEARS
Scientists Know That JelIyfish Live
Long, but "What Do They
Get Out of lt7"

In a recent lecture to children at
the Royal institution. London, Prof
Darcy W. Thompson told of a jelly
fish known as Granny that was res
cued by Sir John Graham Dalyell and
kept alive in sea water. Granny, &C.
cording to Prof. Thompson, was care
fully tended by Sir John and fed reg
ularly one-half mussel a fortnight.
She throve exceedingly under this kind
attention. Six hundred of her offspring
were known. On the death of Sir John
she passed to the care of an arctic
explorer and was bequeathed by him
to another scientific man. Granny out
lived four protectors and died at last,
Oct. IL, 1887, at the authentic age of
Ct years, because of the neglect or
ill-treatment Of botanist.
Prof. Thompson did not say so, but
he left it no be assumed that had the
neglectful botanist been as careful and
attentive as was Sir John Dalyell
Granny might yet be alive, says the
New York Tribune, in which case she
would be no less than 50 years old.
and assuming that she was at least
two when Sir John found her, which
seems probable, she would be well
past the century mark.
