WAVES essf _ The winter now coming to Its close has seen two cold waves of exceptloul severity that spread over mos! of the i nii'.ti Stat' I'Hually the weather is a minor** matter of conversation, hut some**times temperature vitality af fects economic life. Physiologists claim ?'oliJ revitalizes human beings, but there are Iohsoh that make the balance at least doubtful. The dold waves mostly come from Canada, and are great overflows of dry air chilled to a very low temper ature.

Thus they envelope for the most part a population that is trained to undergo their rigors.

BILL PASSES HOUSE (Continued from first i?age.) vote until Wednesday, but it was defeated. President Wilson today told Chair man Cndorwood. d?mocratie leader of the bouse, that the house could be as sured of his support for the railroad In Alaska. Reports have recently been circulated that the President was opposed to it. The Alaskan railway project is of more interest than even the expendi tures of the $35,000,000 proposed ordi narily would create. Coming noon after tue completion or the Panama Canal, it Is attracting attention as an other great engineering project under the direction or tite American govern ment1. The bill which places gr.ee power in the hands or the President, dlrectB him to locate and acquire by purchase or construction or by both means, a line or lines or railroads rronv tide water into the interior or Alaska and to navigation on the Yukon, Tanana, or Kuskokwim rivers. In choosing the route he is to use bis judgment as to what will best promote the set tlement or Alaska, develop its re sources, and provide adequate trans portation ror coal for the army and navy, for troops ana munitions or war, and for the mails. The total or all railroads bought or constructed, is pot to exceed one thousand miles and the appropriation tor the purpose is $35,000.000. The President is authorized, ir he sees fit, to permit the government railroad to be operated by contract or lease, or, it .may be operated by the Panama railroad company. In con structing and operating the Alaskan railroad, Ihe Pr?sident is authorized to employ in its construction and opera tion dlSy^iuHrWr er'nnln he fctfty think necessary, choosing them a! p],fj?a OK. on!yj-that>1nos@<hQOSPn f?m ,fi|.v.U life shall he under the supc rlsicn, in the werfetotfCoostrucJion, o Im.engi neers taken from the army HThe ap pointment ?Jt?Ry (W?neer clv11 lire whose salary exceeds $8,000 a, year must be'confirmed by the Senate. The Interstate commerce commis sion, subject to the approval of the President, is empowered to regulate passenger and freight rates on the new railroad and the rates are to be uniform, with no discrimination in favor of agents of the government ex cept the usual provision for employes and their families. The bill creates the ''Alaska Rail ways redemption fund," into which ia to be paid 75 per cent of all money received from the sale or lease of public ???iua in Alaska; fron: the sale of coat or mineral or timber on pub lic lands; and from the net earnings of the railroad above maintenance, charges and operating expenses. .

Minnie E, Bond, of Okla homa City. The verdict was returned at 5:40 p. m., ten minutes after the case was given to the jury. Only one ballot was taken. "We find," the Jury stated in the verdict, "the evidence submitted by the plaintitT entirely insufficient upon which to base a Bult; that said evi dence wholly exonerates the defen dant, and had the defendant, at the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence, announced that he desired to intro duce no evidence and rested his case, our verdict would have been the same in that event as now returned by us, in favor of the defendant." "Despite the efforts of baiiffs to maintain order when last words of the Jury the verdict "in favor of the, defendant" were read, the crowd,' which taxed the capacity of the court room, turned into a cheering throng, orderly, but no less determined to give vent to their feelings. Those displeased by the verdict forced their way to the doors and left in ellence amid the bantering of the senator's friends. Senator Gore heard the jury's de cision without change of countenance. Mrs. Gore was the first to grasp his hand.
