What Congress Accomplished.

Hou. E. D. '(Tmupacker, Con gressmau from this district, has furnished to the Hammond Times, the following summary of the many . very important acts of the late ses si on of congress: Answering your request for a brief statement of important measures enacted at the recent session of congress, I beg to say that it seems to be the general opinion of the country that more important work was done at that session than was done at any other session of congress m the history of the conn try in times of peace. Among the important measures enacted was the railroad rate law Yvhich confers upon the interstate

commerce commission the power to fix rates for interstate transportation iu cases where complaint is made of the existing rate and upon investigation it is foifnd to be uu jusf and unreasonable. It makes express companies, sleeping car com panies. private ear lines, private switches and terminals, and gas and, oil pipe lines common carriers and puts them under control of the inter state commerce commission. The Statehood bill, conferring statehood upon Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and giving the option to New Mexico and Arizona to l>ecome a state Subject to the will of the majority of voters in each territory, after long debate, was enacted into law. ' j A drastic and comprehensive pure food law was enacted, prohibiting, under heavy penalties. the; adulteration of foods, medicines and drinks. In addition to the pure food law is the meat iu-pect ion measure, which requires every pound of meat shipped from one state to another or to a foreign country, to be thor , oughly inspected by competent offioera. The iaw requires abattoirs and canning establishments to be j maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, and it provides thorough I inspection of all meats from “the

hoof to the can.’’ c A lair was made relieving alcohol [to l>e uct-il in ti e arisaii'i industries, from the present excise lax of sl.lO a gallon, upon being i»-inlered uii- [ drinkable. It is claimed that alco holcan be inauufactu ted at a cost not exceeding twenty centsa gallon, and biie gal lon of al eoliol coni ai ns as many heat units .ts two gallons of I gasoline. This htw is the most im ! portant measure, frouf an economic standpoint. that was enacted. 1 The Conxularser vice- was re ‘or m • led, by an intelligent and well con sidered law. Five consuls general will be appointed who will super- ’ vise in a general way the entire ser- [ vice. Consular oUlcers are business agents, and much is looked"for under the new law in the extension of our trade* in foreign countries. A new naturalization law was enacted. safe guarding the government against the frauds that were 80 common under the old system. The present law makes it practieal- ; ly impossible for au alien to secure I citizenship by fraud. A bill was passed and approved " by the president fixing the type ~of the Panama canal. There has been a protracted controversy among tn giueers and experts over the question many insisting that the canal should he constructed uponthe sea level, and others contending that it should be a lock canal. The president and a majority of the Panama

canal commissioners favored the lock canal. The house passed a bill providing, that the canal should be the lock type, and that bill was finally agreed to by the senate and approved by the president. It would require eight or ten years more time to construct a sealevel canal, and it would cost at least • twice as much as a lock canal, and it is the judgment of many intclli ■ gent people that a leek canal will be as cheaply maintained and as etsily navigated as a sea level canal. Congress passed a law making railroad companies liable to em ployes for the negli ence of fellow : servants for iujjuries received in the line of duty, and providing that the contributory negligence of tjie injured person shall not defeat his right to recover, but it may be considered in determining the amount of amount of damages. It is a very important measure for the protection of those engaged in the railway service, and it is eminentlyjust.

An act was passed modifying the immunity features'of the rebate and transportation laws. The new law provides that no one shall be given I immunity from prosecution on account of information furnished the government, unless the information is furnished under oath in obedience to a subpoena, or consists of documentary evidence furnished by compulsory process. This law was ihe result of the decision of Judge Humphrey acquitting the defend ant in the beef trust case in Chicago a lew mouths ago. A bill was also passed giving the government the right of appeal in criminal eases so as to test questions of law that may be decided by the lower court. Heretofore when a case was decided against the government there was no right of appeal.

Numerous Other bills of more or less importance were passed, but the list mentioned deals with new ' ' questions, and much is expected of them io advancing the interests of the people. I may b? pardoned for i saying that I feel a personal pride Lin haring been a member of so important a congress and having had a share of its work, humble though it may have been. The interests of the Tenth district were not overlooked. The public building'bill carried an appropriation of $70,000 for a new building in Michigan City: $60,000 for the enlargement of the present post-*, office building at ; .and ! $5,000 of an increase of the limit of cost upon the federal building at Hammoml. - - •

A joint resolution was passed conferring upon the United States Steel , Corporation authority to construct ; piers, wharves aud bulk-heads in Lake Michigan opposite the i towu of Gary, to a point ’where the water is twenty five feet deep, and a similar resolution was passed granting the same privilege to the East Chi.

cago company at tIK- town of lndiana Harbdr. In addition to this there were ten or twelve private pension bills pissed for veterans of the Tenth district. Very truly yours, E. I). Crumpacker.-

Death of An Early Resident.

Mrs. Elizabeth Morris drecT Wetjnesday. July 11th, at the home ! of her daughter, Mrs. Edith Siues. at Flora, .Carroll county, of paral-1 ysis, after about a week’s sickness. Her daughter. Mrs. David H. Yecman. of our city, was with her for several days liefore her death, and Mr. Yeoman joined her tliere for the funeral, which was held Thurs day. Her age was 87 years. She was the widow ot James T. Morris, who died about seven years ago. They became residents of Jasper county in about 1851, and live here a great many years. Pait of this time was iu Walker town- [ ship, where Mr. Morris owned so much land aud was so prominent a citizen that he was called the ‘‘King of Walker Township.’’ They also lived in Marion township, owning what are now the J. C. and Wilts Porter farms northwest of Rensse laer. They moved, to Carroll county 25 years or more ago.

Jordan Road Contractors Enjoined.

Hawkins & Allman, contractois for the new Jordan road, were serv -ed with a temporary injunction or restraining order Thursday afternoon, on complaint of C. Sternberg & Sou, contractors for the Iroquois ditch. It was to restrain them from taking any more rock out of the river at tne place where they are uw working, and near where their rock crusher has been standing, near Kellner's ice house. The road contractors h ive been taking out ■ the rock on permission of Mr. Kell luer, who owns the laud right along there where the ditch passes, and who has proceeded on the theory that as the owner of the land he is also owner of the rock in the future ditch which the ditch contractors have drilled and blasted but have not yet removed from the line ol the ditch Sternberg & Son hav* brought the injunction on the theory that they have control if not ever ' ownership of the rock until it is removed from the line of the ditch. Their objection to the road men I taking the rock from that place is not based on any general opposi tion to having the rock taken out. but only to having it taken from that particular place. It appears that Sternberg & Son have chosen ' that particular place as the location I of a dam to back up the water when the dredge comes down, and they j want the loose rock left there to use for the purpose.

Worth Trying.

Every rain barrel of water ; where mosquitoes can get to it should have a lump of blue vitrol dissolved and thrown in it. A keg at the Review office was swarming wigglers, and this treat merit that -is used in the South fighting yellow fever, was tried. The surprising result was that by the next morning every particle of sediment was precipiated aud the water as pure aud clear as hydrant water. Try it.—Fowler Reyiew.
