DELUGE OF BILLS WILL JEJHTERED Members of Congress Are Making Ready for the Approaching Session.

BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Although the convening of congreHs in Heveral weeks distant a number of members of the house of representatives are in the city putting the finishing touches on bills which they intend to introduce, or preparing themselves for other matters which they know are coming up for consideration at the next session of congress. Prominent Democratic leaders are in the city mapping out the work of the Democratic house caucus. There are many things inaugurated by the Republican administration which are distasteful to the Democratic majority of the house and which they have openly avowed they will no longer tolerate. It is a wellknown fact that It will be next to impossible for President Taft to secure from the Democratic house any additional appropriations for his pet institutions, the Tariff board. The monetary cornmision also has fallen into disfavor with the houBe committee of appropriations. After the Commerce Court. Another of the creations of the Republican administration which have aroused the ire of the Democratic leaders and which, if the ysucceed in their intentions, is doomed to the fate of the tariff board and the monetary commission is the commerce court. Representative Sims, of Tennessee, has asumed the leadership in the fight against the youngest of the United States courts. Judge Sims will press for a caucus indorsement by the Democratic party of a bill to abolish the court of commerce. Representative Sims will urge that the Democratic party take a strong position against the measure. In pre

paring for the fight which is sure toC

follow the Introduction of such a bill. Representative Sims has made an exhaustive investigation and study of the tendencies not only of. the Court of Commerce, but of recent judicial interpretation In the other federal courts as well. Close friends of Representative Sims, with whom he has discussed the matter, assert that when he makes public the results of his investigation, the eyes of the public will be opened to something they little dreamed of. ' The bill which will be introduced by Representative Sims will be bitterly opposed by friends of the Administration. In defense of the blyy Representative Sims will touch on some of the recent tendencies as indicated by the Supreme Court decisions, and will advance the suggestion that it is time for congress to manifest Its sentiment generally toward the judicial construetion.pf these laws. Representative Sime like many other Democrats, feels that the whole scheme of state regulation is In danger because of the tendency of the coi --fa, to arrow down the field within which such regulation may be conducted. . The Democratic party which from the time of its birth has stood for the principles of states' hlghts has been greatly alarmed by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Safety Appliance case. The leaders fear a further restriction of the power of the states to regulate the railroads. In the appliance case the court held that all railroads must equip all their cart with the safety devices prescribed by Federal law. On the ground that state and Interstate commerce are so greatly intermingled that they cannot be separated. Important Question. Much speculation is being manifested as, to whether the decision of the Supreme Court in the safety appliance case will be made a precedent for the decision in the Minnesota rate case. The Democratic party is alarmed as to whether a like decision in the Minnesota rate case will take over to exclusive Federal control all regulation of traffic. If such a decision of the court Is given It would leave the states practically helpless to regulate the railroads within their borders. ' Another thing that is worrying the Democratic leaders is whether this new court of commerce is going to be generously inclined towards the state or not It Is strictly an administration court and they are Inclined to believe that It will lean toward the Federal government. Democratic leaders express confidence that the caucus will indorse the Sims bill to abolish the court of commerce. It is a matter of record that only a few Democrats voted for the bill for the establishment of the court and that it lacked but a single vote in the House of being defeated. Its recent decisions have made the court decidedly less popular with the Democratic party than it was at the time of its creation and there appears little likelihood that the party will not Indorse the Sims measure.

Getting the Exact Spot. An emergency call from a policeman for a tape measure kept two women waiting In the dressmaker's parlor for five minutes. There were other tape measures there which the dressmaker might have used, but she was too busy pondering the circumstance that bad suddenly converted her into an ally of the police department. Presently the policeman returned the tape. "What did you Want it for?" she asked. "To help find the right place to shoot a horse with a broken leg." be said. "The vital spot Is Just three inches above that little swirl in his forehead where a dozen crowns seem to meet I am not very good at guessing, so we thought it safest to find the exact spot with a tape measure." New York Sun. Music of thw Drum. All musical authorities have agreed that when used in a proper way the drum Is thoroughly musical. The common snare or side drum is freely used In musical composition. A 1-rge number of drummers performing simultaneously out of doors produce good music. In this connection Berlioz, the compbser, pointed out that a sound that was insignificant when beard singly, such as the clink of one or two muskets at shoulder arms or the thno as the butt comes to the ground a ground arms, becomes brilliant and at tractive if performed by a thousanc men together.

ni, petite Italian singer, will have vengeance. Enrico Caruso, the tenor and idol of opera-goerB, must, pay the price of his false love. Trentini arose two hours earlier than usual today to issue these war bulletins. Then she followed them up with this one, which she expects to cause a real heartache in the frame of Caruso: "I sue him for $100,000 breach of ze promise for marriage." The suit was to be instituted immediately. No delay, was the command of the diminutive singer. So Caruso, now in New York, may have to remain in this country to save his purse. Trentini picked up a big red rose, bit off some of the petals, pulled out the others and surveyed the wreckage about her. "What is it you say in Chicago 'some temper?' " she queried. "Weell, zat is what I gets when I zink of zos man Caruso. One grand big boob, is eet? Sure, oh, la, la,la, he call me ze liar, eh? He deny what he said to me in Triest? Nevair propose? Bah! Wait. He Ees One Peanut. "He say I am ze lithtel cake of zoap, eh? One small thing like peanut. He ees what we call 'porco Italiano,' he iz. "Temperament, bah! Temperament like cab driver, no soul. "Call him, bah, anything in ze English or ze French or Italian, what you know, it would nevair hurt eem. "But, touch ze pocket of ze grand Signor Caruso. Ouch, ouch, he yell, like he yell in ze the last scene in Paglicci. Ze pooketbook, zat is Caruso's heart. I will stab him there!" She made a stabbing gesture and sank back in her chair. Another rose went the way of its sister rose. The pretty red lips pouted, there was a new light in the eyes. They softened considerably. Tren

tini was back in Triest playing II Pagliacci with Caruso. "Oh vair well," she sighed, "eet is gone. I won't want ees heart now. But ze heart of Caruso loved. We played ze opera Pagliacci in Triest. I was ze donna Nedda. He was Canio. You remember ze story. Well, after ze stabbing, he come to Trentini and he zit on ze pasteboard steps behind ze curtain and he said, soft, like he sing: " 'Erma I love you like Canio love ze Bell Nedda. Be my real Nedda for good. All the same like ze play without ze villan in ze front seat and no stabbing.' "I smile at ees black eyes and I say 'sure' the Italian is Ga. Zat ees ze proposal of Caruso. Zat is why I sue." She stooped over and said: "Bah, ze face like ze sponge." Then she kissed a red rose and placed it in her hair.

STOPPING A tiUSEBLEED.

(National News Association)

VALPARAISO, Ind.. Nov. 11. Sten-i ographer M. Himmelblau, of Hartford City, Ind.-. was today put through a severe cross-txamination by "the defense in the trial of city engineer C. A. Williston. cf Gary, charged with graft. When the stenographer took the stand the court-room was crowded, the attendance being larger than on any previous day of the trial. Himmelblau was forced into admissions which are thought to be damaging to the state. The most important of these being a statement mat he never knew T. C. Dean, the state's witness in the case, previous to being employed by the latter to take the dictagraph records, although some time ago he made an affidavit that he was personally acquainted with Dean before he came to Gary. According to Himmelblau, Dean did not tell him that he was to take tho records of the conversations until after negotiations which followed the alleged bribe had been under way for some time. The first conversation which he tdbk over the dictagraph, he said, was between Dean, and Commissioner of public works Nyeloff, early in May The Dean-Williston conver

sation, the witness swore, took place in July, and related to the payment by Dean cf $2,000 to Williston for the

consummation of a supposed real es

tate deal. During the' progress of the morning the dictagraph records of what took place in Dean's room were admitted as evidence.

"Local physicians are having a hard time to win their bread and butter," was the statement made yesterday by one of the Richmond health experts in commenting on the situation in this city at present. November is considered about the best month of the year ia

; health, and the city records show t'uui ! 1911 is not unusual in this respect. j But few cases of any serious illness exist in Richmond now, and most of these few are nearly cured. Colds and other forms of bronchial 1 trouble are causing some distress to citizens here, however. The city I health department is issuing a warning against overheating houses at this time of year. One of the health oft't- ; cers has just found a family that has alread used two tons of coal in heat- ' ing the home this fall. The authori

ties state that colds will be practically unknown if people had more fresh air, and did not congregate in too great numbers duriug November. The health department is looking for a decided increase in the mortality rate for Richmond this month. While sieknes is rather scarce, the officials be-

i lieve that more cases result fatally

than at any other times of the year.

By This Method It Is Simply a Mat;.of Imagination. In many experiments carried o:i d" ing the last few years it lias been certained that the mind controls to wonderful extent the flow of blood any particular part of the body. T! following experiment has been trie as many ns ten times by ise and nr. not failed once. When the nose starts to bleed, in mediately persuade yourself to believ that you are runuing with till you might up the steepest flight of step you can think of or up a high nil. that is, just think of doing either v these things and doing it fast. Thin' at the same time that you me can;, ing a heavy piece of baggage witl. both hands and add thoughts of any other bodily exertion. You will be surprised at the quickness with which your trouble ends. The explanation is that when we really start to run more blood is given to the arteries supplying the muscles of the legs than they were receiving while at rest. This has been proved. As the -same thoughts iu the mind pro duee approximately the same bodilj effects, if one merely thinks to run. but does not run, the blood will go to the legs anyhow and away from the head, as desired. There are many common experiences of secretions started by thoughts.

CELESTIAL WONDERS

ARE VISIBLE NOW

' Have vou seen the comets?" Not many people in Richmond have, but local authorities on astronomy

claim that there are two celestial wan

derers in the heavens now, both of which r.ie easily visible to the naked eye. The brightest of the pair, according to Dr. S. R. Lyons, who has made a study of the November stars, can be seen in the east a short time before sunrise. Persons who have observed this object say that it is more distinct than was Halley's comet, and that it is an imposing sight to witness in the early morning. The caudal appendage on the new member of the firmanent, is considered much more spectacular than any seen in recent years. The other wanderer ca be seen late at ight in the north-west. It is not as plain as the morning comet, and although visible to he naked eye, :s hard to find even on clear nights.
