SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
BOUSE REJECTS IT BY VOTE OF
173 TO 178.
Thirty Repmbllraas Voted Against
Measure and Four Democrats
far It—Scene of WUd Con
faeloa Followed Roll Call.
Washington, March 2.—The ship sub
sidy bill was rejected by the House of
Representatives today by a vote of 172
to 175.
The principal feature of the bill Is
the provision that American mall steam
ships of sixteen knots or over, and
of not less than 5,000 gross tons, shall
be paid f4 SO per nautical mile out
ward bound on routes of 4,004 miles
or upward to South America, Philip
pines, Asia and Australia.
Mr. Landis (ind.1, made an earnest
plea for the passage of the bill.
Mr. Moon (Tenn-) led the opposition
to the measure.
“It Is an Infernal fraud, designed to
plunder the treasury,” he declared.
Speaking of the provision for train
ing of American boys and answering
the plea of patriotism advanced by Mr.
Landis, he said that it was but a blind
to hide the giving of the people’s money
to corporations of ship owners.
The climax came when minority
leader Clark declared that a lobby had
been carried on "right on the floor of
the House" In favor of the passage of
the bill. "It Is an outrage to a civil
ised country." he declared, "this thing
of coaxing men, of button-holing men,
and I undertake to say- that when Mr.
Moon, of Tennessee, denounced this
bill as an Infernal fraud, he used lan
guage he was Justified In using.”
The debate against the bill was
closed Gy Mr. Cockran, of New York.
He denounced the sending of the Amer
i lean flag abroad by a subsidy, as "an
outrageous concession of the. enslaving
of a people through the agency of a
government."
Among those to speak for the bill
were Ooebel, of Ohio; Landis, of In
diana; Humphrey, of Washington, and
Hobson, of Alabama. Against It were
Small, of North Carolina; Kustermann,
of Wisconsin; Stafford, of Wisconsin;
Lloyd, of Missouri; Sulzer, of New
York; Burton, of Ohio; Saunders, of
Virginia; Wilson, of Pennsylvania;
Clark, of Missouri; Stephenson, of Min
nesota, Finley, of South Carolina, and
Norris, of Nebraska.
The feeling In the House was strain
ed as the hour of voting approached.
The attendance was probably the larg
est of the session. Every one recog
nised that the vote would be close.
Representative Goldfogle, of New York,
who was operated on yesterday In a
hospital, was carried on the floor in a
chair to vote against the bill.
A scene of wild confusion followed
the roll call. With the announcement
of the vote of 172 In the affirmative,
the Speaker hesitated to get a good
breath, and then said, "175 in the neg
ative.”
The Democratic side of the House
broke forth in cheers.
Mr. Overstreet, In charge of the
bill, was recognized, and he asked to
be permitted to change his vote. This
would have allowed him to move to re
consider, and have another vote on the
bill. The Speaker Informed him that
the vote had been announced, and his
request came too late.
Thirty Republicans voted against the
measure, and four Democrats for It.

SENSATIONAL THEATRE CASE.

Louisville. Ky., March 2.—Spectators
and the attorneys engaged In hearing
the Gaiety Theatre case before Chan
cellor Miller, sat up today when that
Jurist announced that he was going to
admit to record in the case a letter he
had received from "J. C. Jones,” a
Cincinnati commercial traveler.
Jones declares that in the ante-room
of a well-known Cincinnati cafe, he
had heard R. K. Hynicka of Cincinnati,
who owns the theatre enterprise here,
remark that he had “had to buy that
Kentucky -J. C. Jones says
that an a Kentuckian, he was wroth
to hear his unknown fellow country
man spoken of In that way, and he
wrote to the trial judge in the case.
After long argument by counsel, the
letter was stricken from the record.
The Gaiety Theatre matter is a long
drawn out litigation with much poli
tics interwoven In It. Hynicka Is at
tempting to open the theatre here, and
he is being resisted by the city and
residents in the vicinity of the new
play house on the ground that It vio

Chicago, March 2.—Testimony In the i
retrial of the case against the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana begun late 1
this afternoon before Judge Ander
son.
Frederick S. Hollands, formerly chief i
rate clerk of the Chicago and Alton
Railroad, the first witness* testified i
in regard to the rtipthods used in the
office of the company In making rates
and in mailing copies of the tarlfr to
shippers. It Is the contention of the
Government that the published lawful -
rate on oil between certain points over
the Chicago and Alton was 18 cents,
while the oil company only paid* 6
cents.
Assistant United States District At
torney Wilkerson attempted to Intro
duce In evidence the tariff sheet show
ing an 18 cent rate between Chicago
and East St. Louis. Upon objections
being offered by the defense. Judge
Anderson ruled that the tariff sheet
should not be presented until the Gov
ernment had shown that it was the
rate published and filed with the In
terstate Commerce Commission. *The
court said that this was the vital point
in the cuse. The Government declared
that proof of its publication would be
presented later. Opening statements
of the case were made by Mr. Wilker
son for the Government, and by At
torney John S. Miller for the defense.
They were brief. Mr. Miller said that
the officials of the oil company did
not know anything about the 18 cent
rate; that they simply took advantage
of the lowest possible rate by locating
a refinery at Whiting, Ind.
“We are looking to this Jury," said
Mr# Miller, “to find a verdict based dR
the merits of the controversy, not on
the pipe dreams of counsel for the
Government."

Dr. Long said:
“I have studied wolves for years
and contrary to popular belief I never
found a case, where a human being
was harmed by one. I am talking of
the North American wolf. There is
another foolish notion th^ it Is the
biggest and ugliest brute of the pack,
who Is leader. That’s untrue. It is
always the mother who is leader and
her word goes. Animals are far less
aavage than men They do not strug

The first witness was Oeorge Bous

Thousands of Baldheads wouldn’t be

and its timely use
will grow hair and
1 prevent baldness.

anybodj’s hair be
