NO MORE TIPS FOR SPECULATORS Lender Williams Is Johnny on the Spot -Rapidity of Word Production , Warren ,1 Social Favorite Form and the Navy. Washington , Fob. 15. [ Special J Efforts will IIP made to Imvo Ihe gov ernment eouso gathering statistics mild to he lined largely for gambling on Wall .street. The cotton statlntlca gathered liy the agricultural depart ment ostensibly for the biMiellt of the fanners are sought more HlrenuotiHly by the repiescnliillvcH of New York bucket shops than by any other class of people. A minute after the stalls- tics are given out they are on every ticker lu the country and speculators verywheie are eagerly scanning the upr. Cotton on the exchanges boundt p or sags dovvinvatd , according to the umber of estimated biilcs produced r ginned. It would HCCIII that the icre fact that the most Interested par ies are the speculators would lie mif- dent to convince the authorities that lie Information Is more for the gam- lors than the farmers. Director North f the census bureau Is convinced hat the npcculalors and not the farm- reap the benefit of these figures. Williams Well Informed. Representative Williams of Mlsstinlp- 1 Is a minority leader who leads. There f no subject of Importance which omes before the house upon which he i not Informed and upon which he does ot speak. By keeping 1 close touch vlth the minority members of all the ommlttees ho learns what In being ono and when a measure It brought eforo the house IH well equipped to de- ) ute It and can take the lead at once , lo li conceded the right as leader to 0 to the front at any time and by hli vide fund of Information can discuss ho subject that has been brought for- vard , no matter what committed mny eporl It. Williams Is n hardworking man , and he lets nothing get away rom him on the minority side. Talk In Two Houses. One of the stenographers of the house lelmtes took pains to figure up the imoiinl of talk lu the two houses of congress after the close of a session , and he found that Ihe representatives averaged forty five words per minute norc than hcimtors. The average for he senate was 110 words and the louse 1S. > words. One dny for sK lours the debate in the house averaged 201 ! winds a minute. There Is only oni1 cry rapid talker In the senate now , Senator Clarke of Arkansas , but there ire seveni 1 In the house. Represeiitn live Llttlelleld has the best record. Hi .diked an hour and n half recently and iveraged 200 words a minute. The 'aslest ' talker the house has known In recent times was Henry II. .Johnson of Indiana , who talked .MO words a niln ite for one hour and twenty minutes lie was what the shorthand men called 1 "roast. " Senator Warren In Demand. " " christened "Beau Brummel" they Senator Warren on the trip which the congressional party took to the Phil .prunes. The Wyoming senator , yount , looking , well groomed , attired In the latest styles , with n pleasant word for everybody and especially gracious to the ladles , was given the appellation with no murk of criticism , but with respect spoct and regard. The popularity of the senator on the trip Is reflected In his popularity In Washington. He Is a man ever In demand at dinners am : balls and other entertainments. No man In congress receives so many In vltatlons , and weie It not for the grou amount of work he has to do he couk spend all his time In the social whirl. Rascal and Fool. "There Is some hope , " said Senator Bailey In debute recently , "of correct ing a rascal by bringing him to believe it Is best to be honest , but there is no remedy for a fool that I have ever been able to discover. " Familiar With tha Navy. Representative Foss of Illinois In probably more familiar with the navy than any other man in congress am certainly knows more about It thaunuy one of the three men who Imve been secretaries of the navy during the pas four years. Moody did not give the at tentlou to It that he no doubt would have given If he had not been looking forward to another cabinet place ; Paul Morton did not stay long enough to learn much about It , and Bonaparte since his Incumbency has been Im mersed In politics and winding up his law business , but It Is doubtful If In four years any secretary would lenrn as much as Foss knows. The naval committee Is obliged to know n grenl deal about every feature of the great department of national defense , but Foss makes It his business to know every detail , whether it be the manage ment of the department or the build ing of n warship. Two Men Are Missed. "Tho two men most missed here , " remarked n man about the senate , "are Platt of Connecticut and Cockrell of Missouri. hen the time came for passing bills as fast as they could be read there was no one who made it Ills business to scan every measure and see that It was right and ought to PHIB. lu the past both IMutt and THE CONDITION OF THE WEATHER Temperature for Twenty-four Hour * .
