SENATE Lower: House 1w Likely to Pass Rail- road Bill this Weelk, WASHINGTON, April 18It looks, after ail, as if the house will beat the senate in passing the administration railroad bill, notwithstanding the fagt that the latter had sturt of two or thiree weqks In tak- ing up the measure. About the only advantage in this priority is found in the fact that the new law for the control of. transportation line prepared almost entirely by Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham, will bear the name of Repregentative Mann of Illinols instead of Senator Elkins of West Virginia. Preparations have been made In the house for the early closing of debate on the measure. Mr, Mann yesterday secured the adoption of. a _motion by which night wersions, may be. held tomorrow and, Tyes- day, It s expected that by next Thurs- day general debate will have been con- cluded and that on Friday the bill will be placed before the house for amend- ment under the five-minute rule. Repub- lican leaders belleve it can be passed by Saturday. Several days will elapse in all probability before the railroad bill is taken up again in the senate. Consideration of the rivers and harbors bill will be resumed Monday, and Senator Newlands will speak in advocacy of & more complete co-operation on the part of those responsible for the various im- provement projects. When he concludes the bill will be considered. Tremendous pressure is being brought to bear on President Taft to take some part in deciding the claims of rival cities for the honor of holding an exposition in 1915 in commemoration of the completion of the Panama canal.

He sald that scrip- ture s strangely silent concerning the life of Joseph and sums up his character in the phrase that he was ““a just man.” Father Dooley sald that this was a very high tribute, as the virtue of justice contains within itself all of the other virtues, “A man to be just” he sald, “must be just to God, his neighbor and himsel: John's Persistent advertising 18 the road to Big Returns.

The original cost was not more than $5,000, & frame structure and it ix doubtful If the bullding eould have been sold before the fire for $2,000. At one time in the early days It was a first class lodging house and accommodated large numbers of stockmen; but during the later years it has been sadly dilapidated. The police have prob- ably made more calls to quell disturbanoces in that bullding than in any otheér part of the city. This bullding was empty Sunday morning when the fire was discovered and it iu thought by the firen that someons deliberately set it afire, When once started it burned rapidly in the high wind. There was a fire in this buflding nearly a month ago, which was attended by Chief David Garratt, who responded there to his last call just before he was taken fatally il and dled. Heo returned from that call but on reach- ing the fire hall complained of feeling tired. These were his last consclous words. « Magle City Gossip, J. W. Murphy was reported il with a cold Saturday.
