The disposition of the leaders In highway legislation Is to have a J Int sub committee prepare an entirely new measuie to get some small beginning In Vilghway legislation. Unless this is done ths outlook for road Improvement la not especially good. Iowa New Notes.

Senators Wil liam itoyd Allison of Iowa and Asbury Churchwell Latimer of South Carolina and Representative Arlsto Wiley were eulogised In a special session of the house of representatives today. There were Thirty-three speakers. Resolutions of sor row were adopted and sent to families of the deceased. The most interesting of the eulogies were those on Senator Allison, "The father of the senate." Speaker Cannon, who does not usually appear In the house when eulogies are be ing delivered, spoke today on the dis tinguished senator from Iowa, saying that he did not want to let the opportunity pass to say a word about htm. During the Alli son eulogies Mr. Smith of Iowa presided. Representative Dawson of Iowa, for alx years private secretary to Senator Allison, related many Inside ' facta concerning the senator's public career,' declaring that his service had nut been remarkable simply be cause of Its length, but even more remark able because of Its Importance. "He bore a more Influential part than any other man In all the financial legislation from tha establishment of the national banking system In 1864, onward to the re sumption act of 1875, the coinage act of 1878, down to the gold standard act of 1900, and yet, because of his unwillingness In life to claim the credit which waa right fully his due, his name Is popularly linked with only one of these great fiscal meas ures, the Bland-Allison act of 1878." Representative Cousins, who was an In timate friend, paid high tribute to the senator's great intellectual powers. Speaker Cannon said that few were as well equipped as legislators aa waa Senator Allison. He brought common sense Into the legislation and did more service to the country than perhaps any other man In the house or senate. He said: "He rarely wore the Mori's skin, but at times he could demonstrate that he had the red corpuscles In his body." Continuing, he said that Representative Champ Clark's words were well chosen when he said: "Iowa will be fortunate If It can be as well represented in the senate as t was when Senator Allison was there." Others who spoke on Senator Allison were Hepburn, Hull, Birdsall, Smith, Conner, Hubbard and Hamilton, all of Iowa, and Champ Clark of Missouri.
