It provided that no ln j tares should be computed on fractions of I dollar. It was adopted after extended debate. i Tbe Idaho senator contended that the banks would gain Immensely by the provl ' ston and declared It showed an utter dls l regard of the Interest of the poor people. Eturtng the debate on the amendment, Sen ator Page made reply to a recent esti mate of Senator Bailey's to the effect that DQ.0U0 additional government employes would be rendered necessary by the. pend ing legislation. Mr. Page declared 500 men could do the work. Replying, Mr. Bailey said that the work would be so distributed oyer the country that It would be Impossible to get along without a very large extra force. '" Democrats Are Agraiaat It. A number of democratic senators, includ ing Messrs. ' Gore, Stone and Baoon spoke 111 ganaral opposition to the ineusure. The ttiree mentioned saw in 'the bill the fore runner of a great ' central . bank and re garded the legislation as unconstitutional Mr. Baoon declared that the bill bad been absolutely revolutionised, by the Bmoot amendment. He argued that owing to the latitude allowed to the Treasury depart ment tha postal funds would be collected In the big banks. , Incidentally he referred to the purebmae of tha old New York oustoms house by the National City bank of that city as on of the great scandals of tha age. Under the kind of discretion exercised in that case he contended that it would be competent for the secretary of the treasury to do with tha postal funds almost as he tnight see fit , .Jn support of his theory that the Borah provision would not be a part of the pro posed law, he quoted the New York speech r-t President Taft indicating the purpose of utilising the postal funds In taking care Of the t-per cent bonds. ."Does anyone, suppose f that In view of the president's position and that in view ' of his aottvlty in support of this legisla tion the bill will become a law with the Borah provision as a part of ltf he asked la' ef feot , There was little apparent interest on the floor or in the galleries as the time np proched for taking tha vote.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 5.-(SpeclaL) Charles H. Sloan of Fillmore county, who recently announced his candidacy, for the republi can nomination for.oongrress in the Fourth district, -when in LUoolri today made the following statement: -"I am opposed to both Cannon and Can- tKntam and so publicly declared myself In a republican speech at the Seward county fair last fall. But that is simply a nega tive statement of the real question. There should be such reasonable modification of the rules that a strong, tactful, and de termined republican speaker, mindful of the rights of each member, and the necessary dispatch of business, backed by a progres sive membership, could re-establish the national house of representatives in its position of primacy In legislation as was Intended by the nrolrere of the constitution. Every two years the people grant new commissions to the members of the house and they should, Insofar an ascertainable, enact legislation reflecting the will of the people." "I believe In a protective tariff as ad vocated by William MclKnley, Theodore Roosevelt and William H. Taft. I favor the establishment of a tariff commission composed of experts with suoh delegated powers as will enable them to lay. a scien tific basis upon which congress may In telligently revise the tariff, being careful always to protect the American former and tha American "laborer, with due consid eration for tha American oonanxaer.". "The Fourth congressional district Is essentially an' agricultural district. I should, of course, be Interested In tha many agricultural problems which now and for years to come will affect the district and the state. Conservative, Irrigation, reclama tion, and other kindred subjects related to agriculture are to be all absorbing problems In the Immediate, as well aa In the remote future, and upon their proper solution, the west will rank with the east as a power to be consulted and reckoned with and not aa heretofore too often Ignored."

Plana for enloraing the soope of the Iowa Tax Revisionist' association and Increasing Its membership were formu lated at a meeting; of the association today. Aa active campaign will be carried on to strong-then the organisation In order that all tax bills presented to the next session of the legislature may have tha strongest backing possible. - The association wlil concentrate .its ef forts at the next legislature on an at tempt to secure the appointment of a com mission with power to investigate the rev enue situation and make recommenda tions on needed reforms. .

Western ' Grocery company - a complaint which is taken to mean that the car shortage has not yet been relieved and that even worse' conditions prevail now than during the winter. The com pany writes that it haa been almost Impos sible to get freight out of Marshalltown; that there are constant delays and annpy ances, that apparently effort la made .to get cars handled promptly and that they find Jobbing houses in Chicago can get Into the Iowa territory much quicker than can the Iowa house. Will Adopt Dcmsrrage Rals At the session of the RuUroad commis sion to be held next week It 1b expected that Iowa will formally adopt the uniform demurrage rules which were formulated last fall at the national meeting in Wash ington. Mr. Eaton, -the Iowa member of the national organization, in fact had a great deal to do with the making of these rules and they were arranged better to suit the western shippers than those la the east. It is stated that the railroads In this section will not oppose the adop tion of the rules. Favor Tax Revision. A meeting of the officers and executive committee of the Iowa Tax Revision asso ciation was held here this afternoon. The association is planning for some reform in the laws that will relieve mortgages of taxation and put a stop to the constant tendency of the money to leave the state In order to avoid onerous taxa tion. They also desire some change In the law to curb the "activities of the tax fer rets. Bills of this nature were before the last legislating, but nothing was done. For Pnrer Foodatnffs. II. R. Wright, state dairy commissioner, Is at the head of a general movement for the betterment of Iowa laws, to the end that some way may be found for guar anteeing sanitary conditions surrounding the preparation of food. A great many complaints come to the state pure food department of unsanitary conditions In meat markets, bakeries and the like, but there is no way his department can secure conviation. There is also some demand that the law in regard to pure seed shall be strengthened. Intemrban Activity in Iowa. Promoters of at least two Iowa com panies to build interurban trolley lines westward from Pes Moinea are very con fident of success this season. One will be northwest toward Sioux City and the other into the southwestern part of the state. Both state that substantially the only question now Is that of right-of-way. They report that never before was money for investment so easy to secure and the laws of Iowa are now regarded as very favorable to safe investments.

WASHINGTON. March 6.Oifford Fin chot concluded his testimony before th congressional -committee of Inquiry today by stating anew that ha had practically no personal knowledge of the matters to which he had testified. He prooerded, hew ever, to sum up once more the "infersnces" he wished the Committee to draw from .the document already In evidence and from the statements of witnesses yet to be heard. Mr. Plnchot had been In the stand tour days. - The cross and ra-dlrect examinations of tha witness were brought to a close .only after members of the committee had - re peatedly 1 cautioned counsel on both sides against dilatory methods. Attorney Vertrees made the point today In his cross-examination of Mr. Plnchot that possible misstatements made by Mr. Bellinger,' upon the authority of others thalPMmself, constituted a "willful decep tion of the president," while admitted misstatements by Mr. Plnohot to the presi dent were referred to only as "simple mis takes." The entire morning session was taken up with "inferences and conclusions" on tha' documentary evidence already In the record. ' This plainly Irritated the members of the committee, who declared they were per fectly capable of forming their own .con clusions. James R. Garfield, former secretary of the interior, took the stand after the noon recess. Subpoenas have been issued at the re quest of Mr. Bollinger's eounset for United States Attorney Elmer B. Todd and special Agent G. A. Parks, both of Seattle. ' ' Mr. Vertrees haa announced that he ex pects to prove by Mr. Todd that Special Agent Jones testimony aa to why crimi nal proceedings against ' the Cunningham claimants were not Instituted, was false. Parks will testify concerning Glavls' box in which twenty-four missing letters are sup posed to have been found. Lawyer and Witness Clash When Mr. Plnohot had taken the stand Senator Nelson, recalling the dreary ses sion of yesterday afternoon, suggested to counsel to avoid going over the same ground more than once. Mr. Plnchot haa charged that Mr. Bel linger appeared before a committee of congress in the Interest of fraudulent claimants. Mr. Vertrees sought to show that his appearance had to do only with the new ooal land law, the necessity of a new law having been urged by President Roosevelt and Secretary Garfield. Mr. Plnchot said that In his testimony before the congressional committee Mr. Bollinger urged an amendment which would have let the Cunningham claims - go to patent at $10 an acre, whereas all future claimants would be assessed "not less than 110 an acre." It was shown, however, . that tha Cun ningham claims were the only ones that had gone to final entry WAjaska. Asked if congress could legislate) against entries already made -.In good; faith, 'Mr. Plnchot said that was . a- question toe. legal . au thority. , - . -. ' ... The witness . and counsel soon began to clash again In the manner which delayed proceedings yesterday. Mr. Vertrees read to the witness a part of a message by President. .Roosevelt Mr.- Plnohot listened earnestly ;;end then snapped . back: "Do , you read )n that message any In sinuation that Mr. Roosevelt favored the patenting of claims not made In good faltht" - . , ,. Attorney Vertrees I am Insinuating noth ing, Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Plnohot That is not- my name. Mr., Vertrees Well, didn't Mr. Roosevelt say, what I Just read to your' Mr. Plnchot Of. oourse he did. Senator Nelson grew Impatient and de clared the meaning and intent of messages and everything else could be determined by the committee. Mr. Pepper protested that Mr. Vertrees' cross-examination was made up almost wholly of argumentative ques tions which called for argumentative answers. "Oh. go on," sighed the chairman wearily. Mr.' Vertrees defended his course by de claring that aa Mr. Plnchot's charges were all "inferred," he was put to the necessity of trying to ' follow in the pathway of his Inferences." Mr. Plnchot finally, by flint of much questioning, was "brought to the admission trat Mr. Bollinger's statement to the pres ident was In effect that, "aooordlns- to Schwarts's answer, tha record shows," etc, and that it waa not an original state ment by the secretary. Mr. Balltnger had to rely upon the statements 0f hla subordi nates, Mr. Vertrees argued with the wit ness. Just aa the witness had relied wholly upon - the statements of others' In his . . DAINTY POOD Turns rale Cheeks to Fink Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the nse of food, rather than heavy drugs, and this la the true method, for all physicians agree that only from food can the body be rebuilt. Many people fail to give their physi cians credit, for. after living on 'poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long tlms, perhaps, and when their ailments become chronic, they expect the Doctor, with soma magic potency, to Instantly rebuild them. This is not possible. The only true method Is to turn as quickly as can be, from - poor food to good. A young lady over In Ohio says: VI was variously treated for my nerves, muscles, lungs, etc, but none of the treat ments gave ms -relief. "About a year ago my appetite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to fainting, then I took all manner of tonics and stimulants, but they Were of no effect I had been brought to quit drinking coffee and Ink ing Postum In' lt place, and gradually began to get a little better. 'Someone suggested that If I found Postum so beneficial I had better use Grape-Nuts food, as they were both the children of one brain. I commenced on Grape-Nuts food for breakfast, having postum with it I found 'the food so dainty, delicious and appetising that I always looked forward to breakfast with plaasurs.' "Bhortly after commencing this diet the wretched pain In my side was greatly relieved, and now, a year later. It has gone entirely, also the sinking spells; Is fact my pale cheeks have changed to pink, 'I have gained back more than ths twenty pounds I lost and am thoroughly well In every way."

Motive- fos Iolll-rer Let-tor, Mr. Vertrees hers switched to Mr. Pinehot'S motrres In writing the letter tS) Senator Dolllver, which oaused his re moval. "I wrote It because I thought It wine that tha cases of Messrs. Price and Shaw should be presented at the same time as Mr. Wlokershara's defense of Mr. Bellinger and because Mr. Dolllver asked me to." "Did you care whether or rot that letter would eausa your retnovol by the presl dentr "I thought it was about an sven chance whether I would be removed or not." "And you decided to take the chanooT" "Tes." "You wrote that letter rather than re sign, although the relations between ou and the president were not cordial, a the letters you have Introduced here have shown T" "I had told the president I would not resign." "When did you first make up your mind to attack Secretary Bolllngerf Movement Against Dnlllnffer. The witness protested against the form of the question, saying he bad not made up his mind to attack Secretary Bellinger; he did decide to defend the policy of con servation. Representative Graham protested that Mr. Vertrees was always "wrapping up In ferences" In his questions. As to his charges against Mr. Bellinger. Mr. Plnchot said ha made up his mind to. prefer them about ten days before he wrote to the president The examination ended with the state ment by ' Mn Plnohot that he was not aware of any "movement" having for Its purpose the removal of Secretary Bal linger. Attorney Pepper conducted a brief re direct examination of the witness. To make Mr. Ptnohot's position entirely clear, Mr. Pepper asked him It his Infor mation regarding Mr. Bellinger had all been gained from documents and statistics of other witnesses. "With one exception, that Is true." "What la tha exception?" asked Senator Nelson. "I learned from Mr. Balllnger himself his attitude against the leasing of coal lands." Attorney Pepper also got Into trouble with the oommlttee by going over ground already covered and waa asked to be as brief aa possible. When luncheon recess waa ordered Mr. Vertrees stated that he would like to have about five minutes with the witness on re- crpsa-examlnatioh this afternoon. SIXTY RILLED BY SNOWSLIDE (Continued from First Page.) filled the valley of Bear Creek, hundreds of feet below. The news of the disaster was flashed by a Ions telegraph operator at a wayside station a mile distant Railway officials expect that at least forty-eight hours will elapse before the line oan be cleared. The work was attended with great dan ger, as another slide may descend at any moment LHtle hope In entertained that any of the man In the pathway of the avalanche es- oaped alive. Six hundred men are now digging out the track from under the snow and debris. The . latest careful estimate confirms the previous report that fifty men were killed by, the avalanche. All passenger trains on ths line are safe. Xet night Was' one of the worst ever ex perienced In ' the "railway section of the Canadian Rockies.'

A world's record In railroading was mads ths other day when a coal train more than a mils In length was hauled by a single engine on the Virginian railway from Victoria, Va., to Sewell's Point, near Nor folk. At an average speed of about fif teen miles an hour, omitting stops, 120- coupled Virginian gondola cars traveled 124.8 miles In nine hours and five minutes, and ahowed to the railroad Interests of the world new economlo possibilities In a low grade coal road. The train was In charge of W. H. Wells, engineer; J. I Rollins, fireman, and J. H. Bailey, conductor, and had three brake men. Bearing ,600 net tons of coal, valued, all told, at flfi.SlO. ths train left Victoria at 3:58 o'clock in ths morning and arrived at Sewer's Point, at the mouth of tha James river, at 1 o'clock the same date. To make possible this achievement, which is a remarkable one in railroad , history, the late Henry Huddleston Rogers, of ths Standard Oil company, Is deolared to have sacrificed much of his great wealth, and possibly to have brought about his own death. The story of the financier's de votion to the stupendous engineering plan of the Deepwater-Tidewater ooal road, later the Virginian railway, discloses un usual enterprise and persererance, and the sacrifices of Mr. Rogers are probably beat appreciated In tha light of the present ac complishment. The total weight of ths mite-long train between engine and caboose, including ccfal, was 1,120 tons. Each car carried fifty-five tons, which Included a 10 per cent overload, for the ordinary capacity of this type of gondola Is placed at fifty tons. The engine waa of the Mallet com pound articulated type, and It carried 250 pounds of steam, consuming twelve tons of ooal during ths run. No coal was taken en route, although veral stops were made, causing a total delay of fifty-four minutes. The actual running tlms was eight hours and eleven minutes. The most marked feature of the engine. which is one of the largest types con structed, Is a leading two-wheeled truck and the absence of a trailing truck at the rear. The engine weighs on the drivers 801,000 pounds, and on the front truok 18.0U0 pounds; the tender, 1 weighing when loaded t3,000 pounds, has a capacity of 9,600 gal lons of water and fifteen tons of ooal. The high pressure cylinders of the engine are twenty-two inches In diameter by thirty fjTpU" Tj9(3 ci" 'fj h. A LINIMENT FOR EXTERNAL USE.
