Thero was a quarter of an hour of oratory when up rose a representative from Pennsylvania. "Gentlemen." ho aaid, "It costs $10,000 an hour to run this house, and wo have already spent $2,500 worth of words trying to Bkln a $237 Item. Let's quit." Tho total of tho year's appropriation for the upkeop of the house was J4.507.S24. 10. Actual working days number 50, nnd the average time of a day's wovk is live hours. Tho normal 2. ICO hours In 00 days would make the house expense run Into $2,114.73 per hour, on a 21-hour basis. Hut allowing only flvo hours of honest work per day, the expense amounts to $10,573.05 per hour. Tho Bnlary roll of tho members amounts to $2,989,050. Their mileage Is $154,000. Tho clorks cost $5DS.500 for those who aro credited to members, and $133.S00 for clerks of committees. Thore are a number of minor Items, among them the salary of $1,200 that goes to the chaplain who prays for congress's wisdom. Ho Is about the poorest paid of all, conEldering the Blze of his Job sleeping apartments for the men. When news conios of a mine disaster an engine is attached to the car 4SI IV a UOtlCU IV il V JVUiiU vt ViW disaster. Upon arrival, tho mining engineer in charge of tho government rescuo squad and apparatus takes charge of the mine and from the general manager down to the mule driver, all obey his orders and do it on the Jump. He organizes rescue parties, equipping oacli man with an oxygen helmet enabling him to withstand any kind of poisonous gases for two hours. Then, with his holtnoted squad behind him. tho mining engineer enters the mine and begins a search for dead and dying minors. Tho rescuo pnrties carry pulmotors, with which to revive dying minors with oxygen. Fifteen lives aro said to have beon saved last year by use of this device. In West Virginia last year there was a mine- owner who had no faith In tho pulmotors. He Insisted on going Into the mine with the rescuing party and did not wear a helmet. He was found unconscious from the effect of noxious gasos. but by the application of tho pulmotor was revived and taken out alive. Ho Immediately ordered a consignment of tho llttlo oxygen pumps and had his men Instructed in their use. dress about her foot. A moment later a negro servant came out wheeling a baby carriage, and I crossed the street to find out that the baby carriage hold the woman's llttlo son. Tho thought of the woman holding the poodle dog, where tho child should havo been, while she gave tho animal Its morning outing, seemed Inhuman to me, when I thought of tho child boing takon out by the servant. "Rut. Anally. I decided that tho poodle was mortj to be pitied than tho child. It was In worto company. Rut tho and part about tho whole Incident was that a mother could go smilingly away from ber baby boy, while sho euddlod and 'patted tho insignificant llttlo dog as her side. Poodles are nil right ns pots for children, and. lnddoutally, for older poople. Hut beforo they nre allowed to tako tho places of children In our homes. I would rather seo every poodlo In tho nntlon drawn and quartered. "The only kind of a home which Is worth while Is tho homo whoro the mother glvos her first nnd best I thought to her children.

tho withdrawal of tho American protest. In connection with tho national bank concession Haiti Is trying to float a loan to fund Its interior debt. Tho course which will bo ndopted In regard to Haitlen bonds in this relation is of Interest to tho United States government because many American creditors of Haiti have been paid In bonds of that government. So If such bonds nre scaled down tho people who received them on tho basis of their formur value. In the opinion of tho Rtato department, will havo grounds for a claim In equity. The possibility of American hankers participating in tho loan also caußcs tho state department to believe that It Is tho morai duty of this government to scrutinize closely tho transaction to Ree that no contract Is entered Into which cannot be backed up by the United States In case nt sjme future time Haiti falls to fulfill her obligations.

HOUSE PASSES NEW LIQUOR HILL

REGULATION LAW IS SENT BACK TO THE SENATE WITH A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS. COMMONS MEASURE PASSED Providing for an Increase In Salaries of County Commissioners In Counties of 90,000 to 150,000 Population. . Indianapolis. Uy a vote of 55 to 40 (tho house passed tho Proctor liquor regulation bill nnd sont it back to tho senato with a number of amondntonts. It Is expected that tho Joint committee will agree on tho changes in the hill and that It will be signed by tho governor In the next day or two. Tho senate passed tho bill for the new constitution and the house wlii pass it. All Democrats In the senato oxcopt Senator Powers voted for tho bill and all Republicans ngalnst IL The voto In the houso also will be a strict party vote. Tho Commons bill, providing for Incronso In salaries of county commis sioners in counties of 30,000 to 150.000 iK)pulation, was paused by a vote of CO to 10. Tho bill provides an incroase In five counties, making the following changes: Lako county, advances from SG00 to $1,200; St. Joseph from 5750 to $1.200; Vigo, from $900 to $1.200; Allen, from $1,200 to $l.SO0. and Marion, from $2,200 to $2.400. Representative Finley. by permission of the house, amended the Yarling bill making lntorurhau railroads maintain stations In towns of 5.000 population, so as to include Kendalvllle. The Mccarty school sanitation bill was paused by a voto of 51 to 25.. Tho legislative apportionment bill will bo passed by tho house. It Is Haid that no changes will bo made in the present congressional apportionment The senate passed the bill Introduced by Representative Racey and which provides that corporations may take over and operate sewer systems In any city of the state. The bill Is doslgnod to apply particularly to VIncennes, whoro more or less difllculty has beon experienced In recent yoars with the operation of the sewerage systom there. Tho Tingle bill giving cities the right to levy a tax of two cents on each $100 of taxable property for the maintenance of kindergartens was passed. School teachers throughout tho state havo boon Interested in the bill and the Indianapolis Free Kindergarten has favorod It. The present tax for kindergarten purposos Is one cent on each $100. The fact that Senator Nettervllle has been ill and unable to attend the sessions of tho senate for several days did not prevent tho passage of a bill In which he Is Interested. Senator NettervIIIe's bill, regulating the placing of telephones and telegraph wires over railroad and intorurhan tracks, was passed after Senator KlFtler prosentod a resolution stating that the author of tho hill was unable to be prosont and look after his measure. Tho general and specific appropriation hills wero pnaned by the senate with little or no discussion. There wero only two amendments, the most Important being offered by Senator Stotsenburg. which provides that at the discretion of the governor, auditor and secretary of state, tho sum of j $25.O'r0 may be expended for the es- , tabllshmcnt of an Industrial school for colored children. ! Senators Fleming and Knne nnd Representatives Cravens and Finley j were appointed members of the con- ! feronce committee on tho appropria tion bills. A sharp fight was precipitated in the senate on the Ynrllng bill, to provide that tho Judge of suporlor court, room 1. Marlon county, shall hold court in Sbelbyvllle four terms each year. The measure has been passed by tho senate, amended in tho lower house by substituting "Room for "Room 1." and tho amendments were concurred In by a viva voce vote la tho upper house. The bill Is aimed to lighten tho Judicial burdens of Shelby county. Seveial called a mertlng of the Republican members after adjournment and proposed that all the Republicans resign to avoid voting on the constitution. The fonr that tho majority of the house would arrest thorn and fine or Imprison them only prevented such action. Thoy finally doelded to bo In their seats and not vote, thus brenklng the quorum. Decries Fee Law Decision. A number of Indlnna sheriffs nnd county clerks called at the court houso nt Indianapolis to ascertain tho stand of Sheriff Wocssner nnd Clerk John Hauch on the Increase of snlary nnd fco bills pending beforo tho legislature. Theodoro Porttens, chief deputy iherin, speaiung tor ouunu nuiwi,; . . I . HI.-.IM MV....... I nava that under tho present law tho ,irv nf n sheriff's office does not nay U10 expenses and whatoer a sheriff makes is profit on tho board of tho prisoners

Trouble 1b expected when tho bill comes up for passage. Representative WIbo, Democrat, Introduced a bill In tho houso to ropeal the prosent legislative apportionment law. which was passed In 190S, and tho bill passed tho house. It Is the purpose of tho Democrats to pass thlB bill and then to pasB a new apportionment acL If tho new act Is hold unconstitutional by tho supremo court tho Btato will rovert to tho apportionment act of 1885, which was a Democratic law. Thus tho Democrats expect to bo able to control the next legislature. Several salary grab bills havo been passed in tho last few dayB, the latest being tho one paflBed by the senato to increaso tho salaries of the auditors of Vandorburg. Allen. St. Joseph and Vigo counties to $10,000 a year. Tho bill Intended to create tho of-

flco of state Are marshal was killed In the house. Another bill killed was one which proposed to give creditors the right to garnishee ten per conL of the wnges or other credits of a debtor. The bill was favorod by the retail merchants of the state, but It was killed by a large vote. The HufTord bill for the guaranty of bank deposits will probably pass the house, but it may not get through the senate. The blil Is favored by bankers because they say it will enable them to competo with the postal savings banks. There was a hot fight In the senate over the appointment of members of tho Joint conference cjmmltteo on tho liquor regulation bill. Senator Proctor, tho father of the bill. Is a hKh license man. and he asked Lieutenant Governor Hall to appoint him a member of tho commltteo. Tho lieutenant governor called Sonntor Stotsenburg to the chair and he appointed Senators Durre and Hauck. both low license men. as members, leaving Proctor ofT. Proctor stormed and appealed from the decision, but tho chair was sustained. Proctor chargod In a speech that It was a frame-up by the brewers so as to make sure of a low license bill. Speaker Veneman appointed Representative Seidensticker of Marlon county nnd Representative Grimmer of Lake county, both low license men. as the house members of the committee. One of the things that has stood In the way of rapid progross in both the houso and senate has beon the unusually largo and active lobby which has overrun the floor of both houses. Tho lobbyists became so numerous nnd so Insistent that It was almost Impossible for the members to get around on the floor. But the house Domocrats In the conference decided to instruct the doorkeeper to koep everybody off the floor who had no business there, and the rule Is being enforced. Representative Keegan of Marion county, the author of the child labor bill which passed tho houso as drafted, after having been made the target for several amendments and which was emasculated In the senate committee on labor, predicted that tho citizens of the state interested In further protection of children would seeK a pany mui is Uj.usu w piauorm piKus. "'" ly condemned the senato coram tteo on labor and declared the commltteo had set up Its Judgment against tho Judgment of tho house and the voters of Indiana. "Wo would prefer that the presont law remain on the statute books rather than to have a law such as Is proposed by the senate committee," declared Mr. Keegan. "In fact the present law Is superior to tho bill as amended In the senato." Representative W. W. Spencer of Marlon county Introduced a bill to restore to the county sheriffs tho "In and out" fees of which they woro deprived by a decision of the supremo court last week. Tho court held tho law passed by the general assembly of 1907 unconstitutional. Representa tive Spencer will try to havo tho bill advanced under a susponslon of tho rules of tho house nnd sonnte, in or der that relief may bo glvon to pres ent ofllclals. A bill presented by Representative Lyon of Vnnderburg county. If passed, would require county auditors to furnish to tho clerks In cities of the fifth class and to tho boards of flnnnco in cities of all other classes, an annual statement of all taxable property within the limits of the city. The Roggen bill provides that all retired members of pollco forces shnll remain subject to call by the board of public safety and shnll receive full pay when called into active service. Tho bill further regulates tho payment of police and firemen's pensions. The scale has passed 176 of Its own bills and has received 127 irioasures from the lower branch. Of this number only 12 have beon passed. In tho house only 1G senato bills havo boon passed. Tho senato pasiod tho regular nnd specific appropriations bills with a number of amendments Increasing salaries of deputies and clerks in state ofllccs. and also Including $25.000 with which the governor Is to purchase ground for the eroctlon of an Industrial school for colored children. Must Return to Kentucky. Governor Marshall honored the requisition of Gov. Augustus E. Wlllson for tho return of Roy Gray to Henderson, Ky., to answer tho chargo of obtnlnlng money under false pretense. Tho pnpcrs stale that Gray and bis companion. Otto Harnett, representing themselves to he agents for tho Homo Sup- ; ply company of hvansville, had organ 1 lzed a club composed ot 00 women, who, on tho payment of 26 cents per weok, would draw a prize fur valued at US.
