DBJECTIONS CONTINUE House Considering Bill to Codify Federal Penal Laws, OLLIE JAMES IS AROUSED Amendments Allowed to “Punish De- stroyers of Birds’ Eggs, but Re- Jected When They Relate to Such Men as Harriman and Rockefeller.” ‘Washington, Jan. 1 .—Objections to the bill to codify the penal laws of the United States continued to be raised in the house of representatives when consideration of that measure was resumed. Mr. Olile James of Kentucky re- marked that “while an amendment had been admitted providing punish- ment for the destruction of birds’ eggs when it comes to providing a sufficient punishment for men like Harriman and Rockefeller, or some of the concerns that have been feed- g in public by reason of your laws, who contribute millions of dollars to buy up elections, you say ‘don’t put them 1n the penitentiary.’” The American franchise, he de- clared, had been used as a buffer by men who pollute and prostitute elec- tions, but when it came to dealing properly with them amendments were rejected because of the allegation that they would spoil the symmetry of the bill. “If,” he said, “the Re- publican party is sincere and is en- titled to the confidence or respect of the people, it should practice on this floor what President Roosevelt preaches in his messages to congress and on the stump.” In the senate the bill to codify the penal laws of the United States was taken up as the unfinished business. Reading of the bill was begun. TO SECURE NEW FRANCHISES Detroit Street Railways Must Agree to Three-Cent Fare. Lotroit, Mich., Jan. 1 .—Mayor ‘William B. Thompson, in his annual message to the common counoll, al- luded to the city of Cleveland as the leading municipality in a campaign for 3-cent fares for the street rail- ‘ways. “Our sister municipality, Cleveland,” sald Mayor Thompson, “like a city set up on a hill, shows us the way to secure a free city and the reward of unfaltering faith and unflinching cour- age.” " Mayor Thompson gaid this city was now within a little more than a year of the day when existing street rail- way franchises shall be terminated and he declared they can obtain “no new lease of life except upon the fundamental basis of 8-cent fares for all the people all the time,” the latter clause referring to the present plan of workingmen’s cheap tickets for cer- tain hours of the day. LITTLE PROGRESS MADE. Senate Committee Considers Aldrich Financial Bill. ‘Washington, Jan. 11.—Little actual headway was made In the considera- tion of the Aldrich financial bill by the senate committee on finance. Sen- ator Hansbrough offered his plan to put the supervision of the emergency currency issues in the hands of a board instead of in charge of the treasury department officials, headed by the secretary of the treasury. The Hansbrough idea was mnot generally agreed to, but enough was said con- cerning the inadvisability of leaving the i{ssues practically in the hands of one man to make it apparent to some of the members that the committes will desire some different system than the one proposed in the bill. The first section of the bill was read and discussed, but mo definite amendments were offered. RECEIVER 1S APPOINTED. wil Take Charge of a California Trust Company's Affairs. San Francisco, Jan. 1 .—Presiding Judge Coffey of the superfor coutt has made an order appionting Edward J. Le Breton receiver for the Califor- nla Safe Deposit and Trust company, and fixing his bonds at $1,000,000. It 13 understod that the bond will be promptly furnished.

New York, Jan. 1 —It is under- stood that the officials who have in charge the reorganization of the Knickerbocker Trust company have under consideration a number of names with a view to securing a new directing chief of this organization and that Secretary Cortelyou’s name is among those that have received consideration. WILL OPPOSE ALDRICH BILL Currency Commission of Bankers' As- sociation Summonéd. Chicago, Jan. 1\—Expression of un- equivocal opposition to the Aldrich bill and formulation of a compromise currency measure to be presented to congress will, it is prophesied, be the results of a meeting of the currency commission of the American Bankers’ assoclation, which has just been called to meet Saturday in the Com- mercial National bank in this city. The commission, composed of fif- teen members from widely scattered parts of the United States, is a very representative one of the banking in- terests of the country. The two Chi- cago members are James B. Forgan, president of the First National bank, and Joseph T. Talbert, first vice pres- ident of the Commercial National bank. It was originally intended to hold the meeting early in December. It was finally considered best, how- ever, to postpone tke discussion of the currency problem until a normal basis had been reached in financial affairs. Chairman A. B. Hepburn of New York accordingly called the meeting by wire. ] CLAIMS HE WRONGED HER Woman Fires Two Shots at Samuel R. Hamill, Chicago Attorney. Chicago, Jan. 1' —The case of Mrs. Thomas Metcalf, who fired two shots at Banker John R. Walsh’s attorney, Samuel R. Hamill, in the federal building here, parallels strangely in some respects the case of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley of Salt Lake City, who recently was acquitted in Washington after killlng former United States Senator Arthur Brown, also of Salt Lake. Mrs. Metcalf is a former resi- dent of Hamill's home city, Terre Haute, Ind. She and her husband, from whom she is said to have been estranged, were at one time active in the work of the same church there in which Mr. Hamill was a prominent member. She had since at different times called on lawyers here with a view to bringing legal action against Attorney Hamill for alleged wrongs which she claimed to have suffered at his hands. As in the case of, Senator Brown, who had traveled om his home city, Salt Lake City, to Wash- ington, on an important legal mission and was shot by Mrs. Bradley, who had followed him from Salt Lake, Mrs. Metcalf is said to have followed Hamill across the continent. Mrs. Metcalf is a native of Denver. From that city she is sald to have trailed after Hamill to New York and from New York to Chicago. She has re- cently been earring a living on the stage, appearing in minor parts. Attorney Hamill later made his first public statement regarding the shooting. He sald he was in no way responsible for the allenation of Mrs. Metcalf from her husband. He dented in detail statements attributed to Mrs. Metcalf. APPEALS TO COURT. Chicago Man Unable to Keep Mother- in-Law Away. Chicago, Jan. 1 —Carl Emil Chris- tensen, who says he has tried every means known to human ingenuity to make his mother-in-law, Mrs. Bertha Larsen, keep away from his home, as & last resort appealed to Judge Car- penter to restrain Mrs. Larsen from “meddling and interfering.” Judge Carpenter delayed the case and the attorneys for Mrs. Larsen and Christensen will discuss the legal rights of a mother-in-law to run her son-in-law’s household. Christensen says that, besides hav- ing an “interfering” mother-in-law, his wife is “oversensitive” and that with trying to please his wife and try- Ing to keep his mother-in-law at her own home he is desperate. ANXIOUS FOR WINTER HOME Paroled Prisoner Breaks $450 Window at Appleton, Wis. Appleton, Wis,, Jan. 1 —Deter- mined to insure himselt ot a living during the winter Charles Kraut, out on parole from Jackson (Mich.) prison, hurled a large stone and de- molished a $450 plate glass window in a local clothing store and then gave ‘himself up to the police. At the po- lice station he said that it the au- thorities did not sentence him for life for this offense he would kill some one. His home Js in Detroit, Mich. He came to Appleton from Eagle River, Mich. Two months ago he was released from the Michigan state prison, where he was serving a sentence of five years for maliclous destruction of property at Battle Creek. Damage Suit A’unlnlt Politician. Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 1).—B. S. Brynjolfson, former state chairman of the Democratic central committee of North Dakota and a prominent real estate dealer of Grand Forks, has been made defendant in a sensational damage suit for $10,000 brought by Saunders 8.

New York, Jan. 1 .—Every effort] will be made by the New York branch of the Russian Revolutionary assoca- tion to prevent the extradition to Russia of Jan Janoff Pouren, who was arrested last week on the complaint of the Russian consul general charged with a serfes of robberies and mur- ders in Russia. Members of the Revo- lutionary association here say . the charges against Pouren are purely * political. LETTHEWOME VOTE Governor of Kansas So Recom- mends to the Legislature, SPECIAL SESSION CONVENES Lawmakers Asked to Establish a De- positors’ Guaranty Fund, Strengthen Prohibition Statutes and Enact Statewide Primary Election Law. Topeka, Kan,, Jan. 17.—Governor Hoch, in his message to the special session of the legislature, announced that the legislature was called to en- act a primary election law, to strengthen the tax commission law, to establish a bank depositors’ guarantee fund, to enact railroad legislation and strengthen the prohibition law. The goveruor says: “I recommend the enactment of a primary election law, statewide in its character, to include every state, dis- trict and county officer to be voted for In this state this year, and to include also an expression of popular choice GOVERNOR HOCH. for United States senators and to be operative in the selection of this year’s candidates by every political party.” The governor says that the demand for the depositors’ guaranty law is overwhelming. The governor recommends that- all doubt of the legality of the establish- ment by the state railway commission- ers of a 2-cent passenger fare be re- moved by enactment of a straight 2- cent passenger fare law and inci- dentally repwal the mileage book law. The governor also favors conferring upon the women of Kansas the right to vote for president this year. WILL COST $300,000,000. Secretary Taft Says Canal Should Be Finished in Six Years. Washington, Jan. 17.—Secretary Tafit appeared before the senate com- mittee on interoceanic canals and gave _information concerning the project and offered suggestions for legislation. .

The proposed widening of the locks was carefully explained-by Secretary Taft. He asserted that with the locks widened to 110 feet a steamer of 108- feet beam could easily ugh. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO, Their Unceasing Work Keaps [s Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 500 grains of impure matter daily, wnen unhealthy some part of this impure matter is lett in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms—pain in the back, headache, nervousness; bot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, debility,drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys, James Bridges, living on Third St., Bemidji, Minn,, says: ¢I am so glad to have the opportunity of recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to others, as I know them to be a reliable remedy. At the time I began their use, I was feeling very miserable, There was a severe pain in the small of my back, the kidney :secreticns~ were dark and unnatural in appearance, and I had great pain while passing them. | saw Doan’s Kidney Pills highly recommended for such com- plaints and procored a box at the Owl Drug Store. They helped' me so much that 1 procured a second supply and the relief I received was wonderfull. 1am now entirely free from pain and my kidneys are more normal in action.” For sale by all dealers.

The increased cost of the locks Mr, Taft estimated would be about $5,000,000. Secretory Taft urged that there be no reduction in the wages to skilled laborers, in spite of the fact that ac- celving in pay and privileges from 50 to 60 per cent higher income than they could earn in the United States. Secretary Taft gave it as his opinfon that any reduction at all would cause serlous labor difficulties. Even with skilled labcr wages at’' the present standard, he sald, there was recently a strike upon the refusal of the com- mission to increase the wages and a force of men sufficient to run sixty- five steam shovels was depleted to a force suflicient to run only thirteen.
