To Dispel Belief That This

House Must Obey
WASHINGTON. Dec. I.—"A piece
1 "f machinery necessary to assist the
' majority of the house of rcpresentA-
j tlves, whether it be republican or
' democratic, In working Its will," i«
! the way in which Speaker Cannon to-
I day characterized the house commit-
tee on rules. The speaker told of the
' necessity of such a committee and
irave his reasons for believing1 that
•he present methods of providing
rules of proceedure of the house are
l best.
"The committee on rules." he said
; 'is composed of five members, three
! republicans and two democrats. It
I lias happened as often as there are
, fingers on my two hands," continued
j the speaker in his expressive way,
j "that Mr. Daisell or some other mem;
i her of the majority of the committee
i has been unavoidably absent from a
meeting. Tn that case, with two re-
publicans and two democrats present
according to custom, one of the dem-
ocrats pairs with the absent member.
! With three members voting this gives
the republicans a majority vote and
this is as It should be. that the ma-
jority can work its will.
"There Is a general public belief,
due to a lack of knowledge, misap-
prehension and demagogic editorials
and press reports, that the committee
on rules Issues an order to the house
and that It must obey. The committee
on rules does not wish to have defeat-
ed on the floor of the house any
j measure which It may present and as
it should assist the majority to work
its will, the republican members of
the committee endeavor to learn,
sometimes, by caucuses or conferences
what the desires of the majority are.''

Fight to
Save Jordan
The discovery of the crime was by
mere chance. The cabman who drove
Jordan to the boarding house became
suspicious about the contents of the
trunk while carrying it into the house , ,
Its weight made him think it con-
tained stolen silverware, and the ||
nervous manner of Jordan satisfied
him the man was a burglar.
The cab driver, believing he was on
trail of a thief, went to the police and
told them of the mysterious trunk.
Officers were detailed to go to the i
boarding house and investigate. When 1
Jordan was ordered to open the trunk
he did not appear in the least to be
nervous or alarmed, but hestitated
to comply with the officer's request.1
His calm and natural manner and hi*
statements that he was a traveling
salesman and that the trunk con
tained samples threw the police ofi
their guard. Believing it better to
investigate, however, the officers fi-
nally opened the trunk and came up
on its bloody contents.
Jordan submitted without protest
to arrest and upon his arrival at the
station calmly qave the police thf
full details of his crime. An exami-
nation was made at once of the house
in Somerville and there the police
found the head and bones of the mur-
dered woman and numerous other
evidences of the crime.

There are thousands of people, who
are without ambition or strength to do
their day's work and who are aiwayi
tired out, have but little appetite and
a poor digestion, cannot get a re-fresh-
ing night's sleep and are subject to
headaches, backaches and nervousness
because their blood is Impure.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give quick
relief and permanently cure such men

The tonic treatment with Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for run-down condi-
tions of the health Is based on sound
and build up to Its norma! strength.
As the blood becomes pure and red
It strengthens the muscles, tones up
the nerves, makes the stomach capable
of digesting the food and repairs the
wastes caused by growth and work. In
a word It gives perfect health.
The need In every family of a safe
and effective tonic is shown by the fol-
lowing statement of Mrs. A. B. Gates,
of No. 807 East Second street, Duluth,
Minn.
"I suffered for over a year," she says
"from general debility, which was
brought on by overwork. I had no
ambition to do any work and the least
exertion used me up. My appetite was
poor and I was very nervous at times.
I could not get a good night's rest. I
was often confined to bed for a day or
so and certainly felt miserable.
"I doctored with local physicians for
a time but did not get any help from
their medicine. I heard of Dr Williams'
Pink Pills through a friend and gave
them a trial. They soon gave me
* strength and I was able to do my
work. I have since kept the pills In
the house and recommend them hlgh-
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not like
I ordinary medicines. They do not act
tj on the bowels but they may be said to
j actually make new blood. In this way
they reach many diseases caused by
depraved or vitiated blood and they
have cured severe cases of rheuma-
tism. sciatica, nervousness, St. Vitus'
dance and hove accomplished miracu-
lous results in partial paralysis and
locomotor ataxia. They are also a
specific for anaemia, chlorosis or green
sickness, and the special troubles of
women and growing girls.

TREASURES ARE WORTH
MORE THAN LISTED
Church Robes and Tapestries
Held by Customs Officers Show
Discrepancy in Appraisement
CHICAGO, Dec. 3—Church robes, tap-
estries and ecclesiaatlcal antiquities
which may prove to be treasures scat-
tered when the monks were driven from
their seclusion In France, have been dis-
covered In the warehouse of a customs
broker In Chicago. The goods are said
to have entered this country from France
some months ago addressed to one "8.
Robinson." in care of the warehouse of
Wakem and McLaughlin. Their valua-
tion was $2,500. but recently they were
appraised at $15,000. Their value may,
however. It is said, be much greater.
Robinson, to whom the goods were con-
signed Is said to be known here and le
believed at present to be In Europe. The
government did not seixe the consignment
but merely ordered It held for appraise-
ment. News of the action did not be-
come public property until today. While
the government agents desire to have an
explanation of the apparent discrepancy
between the listed and the the apptahed
value of the property no chirg.? of any
kind has been made against any one
The case Is regarded as a mystery, large-
ly because of the character of the con
signment and the fact that It was tent
to this city, where It has not been called
for, and where the ostensible consignee
has. so far as can be learned, no resi-
dence. Mr. Wakem of the warehouse
firm, refused Information to newspaper
men hut admitted that the shipment
was being held for a client.
The appraisement of $15,000 is not re-
garded ns final, having been made by
only local authority. Futher * scrutiny
will be made.

where flogging or corporal punish-

In session and I addressed her a let-
ter requesting her to submit any crit-

to the Oklahoma prisoners, that was
in radical contrast to the alleged
statements she is now said to be
making.
"After a false and malicious state-
ment appeared several months ago
regarding the management of the
Kansas penitentiary the governor of
Kansas wrote to the governor of Ok-
lahoma requesting him to send a
committee from Oklahoma to meet
the Kansas board of health to thor-
oughly investigate the sanitary con-
ditions of the penitentiary and the
treatment of Inmates. Governor Has-
kell replied that he had seen some
newspaper reports but did not deem
them worthy of consideration and in-
formed Governor Hoch that he did
not deem it necessary to appoint a
committee. The Kansas board of
health inspected the prison recently,
going through the mine, cell houses,
kitchen and dining room and shops,
and every department and they ex-
pressed themselves as well satisfied.
"I invite a thorough investigation
of the punishments and sanitary con-
ditions of the Kansas penitentiary.
We have certain punishments which
are absolutely necessary for prison-
ers who break the rules and to en-
force discipline. The Inmates of the
Kansas penitentiary are treated with
firmness and as kindly as possible,
and they were never better fed.
"If a prisoner tries to escape he is
dressed in stripes and wears a ball
and chain and is placed at pounding
rock. If he tries to kill an officer the
prisoner is confined in a dark cell and
fed on bread and water for a brief
time. When he refuses to work he
is put in a cell alone with a couple
of wheelborrow loads of rock to break
before he gets anything to eat, or
he is chained to the wall on a horiz-
ontal sliding bar so that he can b
in a natural position during the hours
the other prisoners work. He Is re-
leased when he says tie ** willing to
behave and go to work. For minor
offenses the prisoner is denied the
privilege of the library and tobacco
and of writing letters "
"The late Warden Coles of Okla-
homa, spen-t several days Investigat-
ing the management and discipline of
the Kansas penitentiary, and he was
so well pleased with it that he re-
quested a copy of our rules for the
government of the officers and prison-
ers and later informed me that they
had been adopted with slight changes
to meet local conditions by the Okla-
homa prison board. Oklahoma con- ■
