RIVER MID HARBOR BILLRESTS EASY Now in the Hands of the Senate Committee Favored by Engineers. (follu'lluin KpeHal) "Washington. Iec. 31. The river and harbor appropriation bill In resting ruy In the Senate Commerce Committee along with mindry pending amendment a congenial companions. The bill Is regarded by its friends as an extremely moderate measure. If there is any extreme in moderation. There Is not likely to be the usual overloading of the bill with wnate amendments largely IncrcuHlng the aggregate Ktim carried in the Hoiiho bill us has characterized the bill in the pat. The admlnlHtration prendre for economy has effectively operated to reMraln many senators and representatives as well as members of the two committees handling the tuibjcct, from Initiating and instating uion appropriations for projects of a local nature which are much cherished by their constituents. No bill has ever came from the Imuae to the annate freer of objection In the minds of army engineers entrusted with liver and harbor "public works as the bill which passed the house before the holidays. In defer

ence to the policy of economy of the Tresident and, yielding to Ms Insist ance, the estimates of the local en pincers were cut down considerably and then the figures approved by the chief of engineers afid the board of engineers for rivers and harbors were further scaled downward. No "Pork Barrel" Hint. There was not, nor Is there likely to be, even'the hint of the "pork bur rel" about this years river and harbor bill. It Is more than ever hedged within the cardinal doctrine of the National rivers and harbors congress of a "policy and not a project;" a policy to taking care of waterway improvements of national scope and characted such ns will carry the greatest good to the greatest number, benefiting the widest and most varied commercial Interests, and In their progress persuading the people that this Is the surest way toward the solution of transportation problems. Tho aggregate, sum of the appropriations proveded in the pending senate .amendments Is $2.8l9.2fi.x, which with the appropriations coming from the liven nnd harborV committee and the house makes a bill appropriating hiproxlmattly $2(5.000.000. Other amendments may bo ofTered in tho senate; but It Is not likely the bill will go much above that figure. Nearly every cne of the senate amendments Is within the estimates as recommended by the engineer officers on the several projects which have beeu omitted from the house bill. Much disappointment in the apparent meagerness of the river and harhor appropriation for this yesr in the pending bill and much apprehension might lw? removed if the public were made to understand that there Is in the aggregato a very considerable sum of money appropriated on projects yet unexpended, and that on some projects the balance available covers nearly tho entire sum appropriated for them in last year's river and harbor bill. As General lMxby, chief of engineers has repeatedly obserbed. It takes time to get plans nnd equipment ready ukmi all projects, and as It was only last June that the last river and harbor bill was passed and became u law In mid-summer, much of the failure to make use" of money appropriated is thereby clearly enough explained. The delay In tho passage of the bill, coming, as it did, late In the session of congress, explains also the reason why the engineer officers assigned to such duty were late getting a start on their tasks. Moreover, it should be borne In mind that there Is a scarcity of engineer officers available for river and harbor duty, as the chief of engineers emphatically iintod out in his annual report. There will be some hearings on particular projects at an early date, but these wlil be few, as it is the desire of the senate commerce committee to make an early report, as soon as possible after congress resumes its sessions. In order promptly to disose of the bill, and at the same time have ample opportunity to meet any olv jectlons there may be to the measure.

Q

AT THE MILITARYJORMS, The Why and Wherefore of Many Army Customs. HAND AND SWORD SALUTES. The Origin of tho Former Goes Back to tho Time of tho Oorgias and tho Latter to tho Knights of tho CrusadesFuneral Volleys and Taps. Why does a soldier when saluting a superior raise his baud to his bead covering? The beginning dates back to the time of the Borgias, if not to ao earlier date In those days assassination was in vogue, and iu order that a u Inferior might not have a superior at advantage the inferior was compelled when coming into his superior's presence to raise his right hand, palm to the front, to show that no dagger was concealed there. Kroni this old custom our baud salute has eonie down. The salute with the sword was not done that way in the beglnuing without any reason. When knights of the crusades received their orders it was the custom for tufmi to call upon Gcd to witness their assumption of tb? orders lven. To do this the sword was raised to the front so that the hilt reached the lips, when the cross formed by the hilt and blade could bo kissed and nn ontn registered to carry out the orders faithfully. The dropping of the sword, point to the front, indicates submission. Why iu the funeral cortege of a mounted ofheer or soldier is the horse, saddled nnd equipped, with tbe boots of the late rider plnced heels to the front in the stirrups, led to the place of burial? To show by reversal of tbo boots the owner's march lias ended. We must go back to tbe days of tho Romans for the reason why iu the nervlce three volleys are fired oTer the open grave of a comrade. Among the Itomans the burial cousisted of tho throwing cf eorin three times on the coran. Three times was tbe dend man called by name, which ended the ceremony, uud ns tbe friends nnd relatives departed each said "Vale!" three times. So as a farewell to our dead comrades we tire three volleys over tho grave. Then the service called taps is sounded, this closiug the ceremony. Why should tbo call taps be souuded In preference to any other? Because taps Is the call for "lights out." aud the lights of life are out in the comrade who has "Joined the silent bivouac of the dead." This euding of a service funeral dates back to tbo early forties, but did not become a fixed custom till late iu tbe civil war. There was a reason for causing all wituesses before a military court to remove the glove from the right band before taking the oath. The ralsiug of the hands nnd eyes toward heaven when taking nn oath is of great antiquity. When the Pible was printed the bare hand was laid on tbe book, which wus afterward kissed. But the Bible was not always at band whea needed. So the custom of raising tbe right hand nnd imcoveriug the bead has grown luto general practice. In olden days the criminal was branded in the palm of the right hand, aud for this reason the custom nf requiring the removal of toe glove came into vogue in order that tbe bund might be iusected. The colored silk sash long worn by ofllcers of or.r nrmy. which for many years has ceased to form part of the uniform, except for gemral officers, was not adopted simply because it looked pretty. It : was originally Intended that this sash. wbKh was very strong, woven of Bilk and could bo etretched out to over a yard iu width, should le used as a hammock In which wounded officers could be carried off the battlefield. And likewise the gnady colored horsehair plume that flowed from the helmet was not placed there because it looked so well. The oricinal hair plume bung down on the shonldem of tbe wearer, and it was intended that it should 1 a safeguard against u saber cut aimed nt the back of the neck, for the long thick hair would turn the blow and save decapitation or an cgly wound. Today the little fcalr tuft seen on tbe heuddress of mounted soldiers Is the result. There a reason why the flag at half staff, as an indication of sorrow, must always be hoisted to tbe top cf tbe staff before being lowered. The flag is saluted when raised and low I I 1 I J W- - - - the staff. So when St is neeesasry to display it at balf mast it must be raised to the top before belnj; finally lowertd, for at this time tbe ?un fires It salute, and cither the band or the trumpeters are sonading appropriate music r call. Twenty-one guns, th number fired In tbe International salute, were not selected at random. ,The number was chosen by our government because it warn Xha nnrc.hex.lAns oaaxL bxi tho. Brit-

Monday, offering two entirely new bills for the New Year's Day, presenting "The Seminary Girl" in the afternoon and "The Yankee Doodle Boy" in the evening. This company, offering as it does a decided novelty in popular priced attractions, has been most successful during the stay in this city and the constantly increasing business indicates public approval. The last half of the past week, capacity houses have been the rule, and with the new offering this work, which include five entirely new bills, good business will doubtless be the rule, at every performance. The night prices, which also apply to the New Year's Day matinee, will continue at 10. 20 and 30 cents, with a few seats o0 cents, with the extremely low admission of 10 cents, any seat in the house, to all the daily matinees commencing Tuesday.

OIL SITUATION IN HUNGARY IS GOOD (American Xews Service) Vienna, Dec. 31. P. H. Nash. of Ohio. American consul at Buda Pest, was in Vienna the other day. To a reporter of the International News Service, Mr. Nash said: "The oil situation in Hungary is at present the principal subject discussed, and particularly by legislators and public men owing to the attitude of the Minister of Commerce, who favors Government ownership of all the oil wells in that country. "The root of the trouble is found in the activities of the Vacuum Oil Cornpany, an offshoot of the Standard Oil Co.. whose competitive methods have revolutionized the industry there. It has established agencies throughout Hungary and has reduced the price of crude oil one-half, and it is said to be able to do this because of its profits on by-products. "Hungarian oil refiners are protesting bitterly against the methods of their powerful rival with the result that the movement for Government ownership is gaining in strength. Should the Government finally take possession of the oil lands, it is believed that it will follow the precedent so established by acquiring the mine fields of various descriptions of which Hungary has many."

HELP F0R1UILERS Minnesota Likely to Pass Em ployers' Liability Law.

IN HANDS OF COMMISSION. Constitutionality of Such Legislation Practically Settled by Decisions of Mew Yrk and Federal Courts View of Judge Brown. When the subject of a workingmen's compensation act was before the last legislature it was the prevailing opinionany antagonistic view was so small as to be negligible that he rroposed enactment should provide for tbe compensation of every Injury sustained by an employee, the question of blame or fault on either side to be eliminated. It was simply n matter of providing suitable compensation for Injury where there was no fault on tho part of the employer and no serious or willful misconduct on the part of tbe employee in occupations where danger is inherent from the use of power and machinery. The difficulty of preparing anything like n scale and at the same time of securing a uniformity that would not discriminate against employers in Minnesota in competition with other states led to tbe reference of the eutire subject to a commission which Is expected to report to the next legislature. The possible unconstitutionality of an act of this character was hinted at rather than proclaimed. The common law provides no available remedy for Injuries occasioned by Industrial accidents not attributable to the negligence of the employer, and it was questioned whether tbe legislature had tbe power, under our system of constitutional government, to write this English provision into n statute. This point has arisen in n case In New York state, where such a law is in force, and tbe supreme court of that state has sustained its constitutionality. It was set up by the railway defendant that not only bad tbe legislature exceeded its powers in the act. but that Its terms deprived the railway company of its liberty and property without due process of law and denied it the equal protection of the law in contravention of the fourteenth amendment to the constltuticn. Upon all questions Involved the court ruled against the railway and sustained tbe law. It holds tbe legislature may amend or repeal the common law aDd may provide remedies where relief under the common law Is Impossible. It says the cases relied upon by the railway merely point out the shifting character of the border line between the statutes which are upheld by tbe court as being a legitimate exercise of the legislative power to pass all manner of necessary aud wholesome acts for the protectiou and welt beiug of the public, although such acts Interfere with personal liberty and the right to do as oue will with bis own. and the statutes which are held by the courts to be unwarrantable interference. Emphasis is laid upon this ending of Justice Brown of the federal supreme court: "While tbe cardinal principles of justice are immutabW. the methods by which Justice Is administered aro subject to constant fluctuation, and the constitutlou of the United States, which is necesrily and to a large extent Inflexible and exceeding difficult of amendment, should not be so construed ns to deprive the states of tbe power to so amend their laws as to make them coi'forni to the wishes of the citizens as they may deem best for tbe public welfare without bringing them into conflict with the supreme law of the land." There will be uo opportunity for tfc final adjudication of this case before the Minnesota legislature reaches con sid era t ion of the subject. The Nev York statute has been used as a model for parallel laws by other states, and tbe decision of the supreme court of New York will be taken as strength ening the principle upon which it Js based.

PROFESSOR ROSING HAS INVENTED EYE

Amrlcan News Service St. Petersburg. Dec. SI. Professor Rosing of the Institute of Technology is announced to give a public lecture on a discovery which he claims to be one of the most remarkable ever made by a scientist. He declares that after fifteen yean of incessant labor he has succeeded in constructing an electro-telcscop?c apparatus which has all ef the virtues cf what might be termed an "electric eye" and which will enable the fortu nate owner to see anything and anyone he chooses. By an adjustment of the apparatus an employer sitting in his ot.'ice will be able at will to ' see" other parts of the building and watch his unconscious employes at work. A man will be able to sit at home and witness a theatrical performance, or arrivals at a railway station, or any event of interest that may be happening a long distance away from the ob-Fervei-. Professor Rosing claims that general who uses this invention will be able to observe the movements of the enemy as well as the movements of his own forces. He promises to give a full explanation cf his invention in the near future.
