it LiOTKIY AMOilG THE SOLOIIS OVER LEWS TEfiMS Last Evening Some of the Senators Take Warpath And Throw Off Yoke of Finance Committee. ABSENCE OF ALDRICH EMBOLDENS OUTLAWS

Senator Smoot Who Is WatchDog for the Boss, Engages In Tilt With Beveridge on Tobacco Tax. Washington, July 1. Mutiny broke out In the senate early last evening. It overthrew the purpose of the committee on finance to work until 7 o'clock and forced an adjournment at :45. Led by Senator Clapp of Minnesota, the senate voted. 34 to 17. for the "eight-hour day." Under a resolution passed several weeks ago the senate has been working from 10 in the morning until 7 at night. . Senator Flint, of California, was in charge of the corporation tax infant which President Taft left upon the senate doorstep. Yesterday, for the first time in many' months, the senate laid its course without the guidance of thoee who ordinarily direct legislation. Aldrich Resting. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance, has gone to seek a few days' rest from the tariff monster with which he is pursued. Senator Hale, titular lender of the body, has departed to spend a few cool day-and nights in Maine. Yesterday morning Senator Crane, of Massachusetts, boarded a train for home. Among those who remained behind there was evidence of the spirit which beckoned the leaders to new scenes. One of the first things the senate did was to hunt for a quorum. Several times during the day it became necessary to ring the warning bell which summons senators to the chamber to answer to their names im an effort to present a number sufficient to transact business. Caught Them Napping. After talking 10 minutes less than five hours Senator. Cummins, of Iowa closed his speech in opposition to the corporation tax about 4:30 p. m. Senator Borah, who followed, had held the attention of a weary senate for over an hour, when Senator Clapp rose suddenly 1 and, addressing the Chair, moved an adjournment. During the reading of a decision cited by Borah from the clerk's desk Clapp had consulted the Idaho orator. Whispers had been exchanged between him and LaFollette and some other opponents of the tax measure now under discussion. When the motion to adjourn was made it caught the committee on finance with but one member, Senator Burrows of Michigan, on the floor. He objected to it and said that Borah was willing to continue. . Senator Smoot, another of the watchdogs left by" Aldrich to guard the senate, was sitting in the main entrance just outside the door engaged in a wordy war with Senator Beveridge over the tobacco tax amendment proposed by t the Indiana senator- A scared senate employe notified Smoot, who cleared the intervening space in two strides and, bounding fnto the breach, demanded a quorum. ' Simple as .the plot was, it carried. Objection to the gathering debate which seemed to spring up from all sides, was registered by Bailey of Texas, and Dixon of Montana, who was in the chair, put the motion. He held that the ayes seemed to have carried. Then as a last resort, although the is sue was hardly worth fighting over, the yeas-and nays were demanded, and 34 tired senators voted for fresh air and automobile rides. Finance Committee Defeated, , Tired out and worn by the heat, senate took the bit in its teeth and declined to indorse the program of the committee on finance to keep the opposition to the Income tax talking.

Senators would not stay in the chamber to hear speeches. When a .roll was called they came in at one door and . vanished almost as quickly at an

other. Leaden were absent and sena tors felt like lazy school boys on a hot Jane day after news that suckers were biting in the creek. Attacks upon the corporation tax by Senators Cummins and Borah occupied the day with the exception of half an' hour recess to allow Cummins to rest, and went unanswered. When the senate met this morning Cummins resumed the speech he began Tuesday evening, and whet he finished Borah started in. Both these men are among the most earnest advocates of an income tax and, though republicans, refuse to foHow the leader of the party, that is, the president, in his plan of raising additional revenue. ' Borah pointed put that the tax 1 would be passed along by the corpora tions to the general public, and quoted from the decisions by the supreme court thta this practice could not be prevented by congress. He predicted that when the real effect of the tariff is understood by the people the republican party would be beaten at the polls unless the democratic party had gone in a state of absolute disintegration.

If you are having trouble with your telephone, don't become impatient. Those automatic phones will remedy every inconvenience about telephoning; you always get the party you call and no one ever calls you by mistake. Then, of course, your phone never rings a dozen times in ten- minutes and you yell your head off, and all the response you hear is the rumble of the wires. If it were possible and some one should call you through error, don't lose your temper; just say, VIOLATE SPEED LAW Resident on National Road, West of City, Indignant At Autoists. MANY COMPLAINTS MADE Violations of every law made .to gov ern the operation of automobiles on public highways are matters of hourly occurrence on the national road west of the city. The same condition exists to the east but complaint is not so frequent. Tuesday auto No. 1090 struck a horse and buggy driven bv a man named Bemery near Harm Wolke's place west of the city. The buggy was thrown into the air and smashed to splinters. The horse ran away and the occupant of the buggy was hurt painfully. The auto was not stopped. Residents along the road oay that the autos and interurban cars make life not worth living. State law governs the speed of autos in the country as well as city ordinances do in the cities, but it is the custom of machine operators to open up full tilt while passing along a stretch of good road. Golf Is Serious.. When serious golf is being played It is best for the game and the enjoyment thereof that there should be as little conversation as possible, and the man who will persist in giving you his views about free trade, tariff reform and the efficiency or otherwise of the army and navy just when yon are thinking deeply how - the next shot ought to be played is generally a nuisance.

"It's too bad you didn't want to talk to us," and hang up the receiver carefully. If your phone rings instead of that at the meat market, you mustn't feel bad about it, at all. Why don't you know, some thirsty fellow called the Palladium office four times this morning and each time he said he wanted the brewery. Now we didn t ask him if the waterworks system had broken down, but just told him we were sorry we didn't have the brewery and if we did, we wouldn't give- it to him. Not with mercury at 90. Speeding His Callers. Getting rid of undesirable callers Is as hard as taking care of politically undesirable citizens. A professional man in town who regards bis time as valuable has devised an effective plan for handling obstreperous and persistent conversationalists. He has on his desk a small alarm clock. When a visitor of unpleasant propensities is announced this man picks up his clock, sets the alarm for three minutes ahead and receives bis caller. The time goes by, and then the clock does its duty. The busy man starts as be bears the sound, consults his watch and then rises with a hasty apology. "I'm mighty sorry we won't be able to discuss that longer," be says, "but I've an important engagement at this hour and simply must keep It" Boston Record. The Sneezewood Tree. .The remarkable sneezewood tree is a native of Natal and other parts of South Africa. Its funny name was given to it because one cannot saw it without sneezing violently. The dust of its wood has just the same effect as the strongest snuff and is so irritating to the nose that workmen are obliged to sneeze even when tbey are planting it. If a piece of the wood of this tree is put in the mouth it Is found to have a, very bitter taste, and no doubt it is this bitterness which prevents insects of anklnd from attacking the timber Jf;the sneezewood tree. The fact that insects find it so disagreeable makes its wood very valuable for work that is required to last a long time.
