Not only palmleaf fans but also iced lemonade had called forth the indigna- tions of “Blue Jeans” Williams, said "Uncle Joe.” Defends New Tariff Law. He then entered into a_defense of the new tariff law, declaring. tc the apparent delight of the republicans, that the government had enjoyed greatly increased revenue since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich law. Re- ferring sarcastically to “headlines of newspapers” that “rarely tell the truth and frequently give the lie to the des- patches under them.” Mr. Cannon as- sured his colleagues that the facts Wwould be known. There was more than even chance, he said, that the facts Would be so well known by next November that republicans would be returned in full control of the government. Democrats Will Be Shown to Be False Prophets. “Ahd, again,” he said, nodding and smiling upon the democrats, “vou will be shown to be false prephets as you have been during the last decade.” Amid applause Mr. Cannon took his sear.

Mr. Cannon reminded the minority Ieader of the situation that would face him_and again turning to the subject of automobiles, he said he believed the speakership should be accorded the same dignity as the office of vice pres- fdent Then, declaring he would be to abide by the action of the he added: “I am quite content, but I want to Botify you that unlesa the republicans ea this side who do not approve of the Personality of their speaker have the eourage to join a solid minority in de- gesing jum. 1 remain Qeaker until For the first time smilihg upon his ‘tolleagues, Mr. Cannon continued to ®ay thet while he not asked for the automobile he wodld use the ap- Bropriation for its maintenance if vo- ted to mim.

Golda Sayler sat beside her mother, Mrs. Sayler. When the verdict find- ing Mrs. Sayler guilty was read, she threw herself into the arms of her danghter and sobbed convulsively.

There has becn con- siderable delay in reporting the post- office appropriation bill by the -senate committee, due to an effort to report it just as’ it passed the house. This bas been objected to by the postoffice Mepartment, - because the house bill provided for no imcreases for clerks and carriers and the department main- tains that unless’ the orlginal sesti- mates of the postmaster general are followed, the service will be greatly bampered. Tt is expected the bill will be reported this week, Opposition to Postal Bi The®house will now probably take up the Dill to crate an interstate com- merce court, and: this will be thorough- Iy discussed. The postal savings bank bill is also expected to be reported from the house postoffice committee. This bill passed the senate, but there is considerablé opposition to it, main- ly. from New +England and the east. Connecticut bankers have placed them selves on record opposgd_ to _the bill, and probably some of ‘e Con- necticut members will vote against it.

The sub-commitices of the house committee on pyblic buildings and grounds are hard at work giving hear- Ings on the various public bulldi bills, and the gemeral committee w probably be readv to report by the early part of May.

The deficit for the first half of the current year was $4,072,000 as against $10,285,000 for the first half of last vear, a reduction of over six millions in_six monthe.

The river and harbor bill as reported to the senaté wil] probably not cause much discussion, ' unless_the western senators decide to hold it up b of tile irrigation bonds they want is- sued, but the appropriation bills will hereafter occupy less the attention of congress than heretofore during the present session. There are, however, a great many bills of general interest before the various committees. and President Taft's programme. will nos be considered seriously. Just how many of the measures he has urged will be passed is hard to say. Other Important Business. The Moon anti-injunction bill, which is 'so_strongly opposed by the manu- facturers of Connecticut, seems to_be buried in the judiciary committee, but may be reported out later. he house may also take up in the neaf future the bl regulating contributions and elections of members of the house. This is 4he bill advocated by the late Col. Alexander Troup of New Haven, and it stands a good show of getting through. The civil service retirement bill is causing the civil service com- mittee considerable worry, but they claim they are going to report a bill this session. It will not, however, be of uch benefit to government em- ployes outside of- Washington, accord- ing to the present plan, but it will be a beginning.
