nois, a member Of the republican
steering committee. and represent

with the matter.
Later Mr.. Mondeh said that in
his opinion the house probably
would not have consolidated all APP

son was going to veto the eXecu-
I tive budget measure. to which TINS
step was supplemental, Without
the budget, he said, he believed II
would take longer TO act ON the
appropriation measures through
one committee than if the old sys-
tenn was still in vogue. Mr.. Mon

ed carrying out the intent OF the
house resolution.
The republican floor leader
thought very little could be done
at this short session outside OF
passing appropriation measures
although he added that no one
could say at this time what the
Legislative program would be.
The republican caucus rule,
leaders said. prevented member
ship on more than one of the pri-
mary committees. In making up
the additional membership for the
appropriation committee, It was
added, they would also have to de-
eide the relative rank of the mem
bers. The seven committees which
formerly made up appropriations

gone to live with her son and daugh-
ter, and there proposed to her. The

placed hea3stone over the grave of
lis last wife.
After several postponements of the
nuptials, Mrs. Rosenthal testified, she
finally asked Mr.. Re gal his Intentions
He replied. said Mrs Rosenthal, Chat
he had something to tell me- We
went to one side of the room, where
we were talking, and he said that the
apparition of his wife was appearing
to him frequently, holding out her
arms to him, telling him Of her love
for him and longing to come to him,
and that under the circum stances he
did not wish to marry me at that
time"
In letter to Mrs. Rosenthal, writ
ten during the alleged courtship, Mr..
Regal wrote of the coming day whom
ne and Mrs. Rosenthal could be out in
the open together with the sky for
canopy and Gods green grass for
a carpet"

Fire Laid TO BURGLARS

by the blaze is estimated at s25O,0O0

this morning. A discussion of the
measures to be taken in connec-

"As al, individual" he wrote, u be.
lieved that the action OF the natione!
executive committee in asking for $6o
per month was excessive, and person
ally favored adjusted compensation on
basis Of 81 for each day OF service
Also as an individual see no reason
why officers or men paying 9 tax on
incomes Of $4,000 or more should be
recipients of adjusted compensation.
II sincerely believe that the enlisted
man who served for $50 a month, out
of which SIS was generally deducted
for family allowance and SIS or SO Tor
insurance, should have this money. re-
funded by the government. Further
more, believe that the enlisted man
should receive certain amount of adj
justed compensation based on length
of service in order to put them on an
equal footing with those men who did
not enter the service but who drew
the high wages prevailing during the
war.
"Any reasonable man knows that the
reason that the five Southern states
voted against adjusted compensation as
represented by the national executive
committee is that they were unwilling
that the colored soldiers should receive
any adjusted compensation or any ben
efts from such bill, whereby they
could buy their own land and own
their own houses. My blood boils at
such stultifying act on the part Of
any white man toward the colored race,
and even if I had opposed adjusted
compensation previously l would, for
this fact alone, advocate it in order to
help colored soldiers in the South own
their own homes and escape from the
virtual condition Of peonage in which
they live in many Of the Southern
states to-day.
81 should like to see the adjusted
compensation bill as submitted by the
national executive committee passed
in order that many of us who believe
and recognize the financial disadvan-
tage incurred by the men in the service
will be able to oppose pension system
in the future. take no stock in the
statement that adjusted compensation
would mean bankruptcy or imitation Of
our present currency, as non-negotia-
BILE bonds could be issued on which the
men would be permitted to borrow SO
per cent of the face value thereof from
the banks, in which case the bond mar
ket would not be affected"
