WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—The house
of representatives today emphatically
disapproved the proposition to hold the
inaugural ball in the capltol building.
The committee having the matter In
charge had substituted for the pension
building, as provided for by sennte res
olution. the congressional library, but
Mr. Morrell of Pennsylvania, who
called the matter up, announced that
the opposition to the- latter building
was so groat the committee had con
cluded to substitute the capltol build
ing. A storm of protests came from
both sides of the chamber. The reso
lution offered by Mr. Morrell was voted
down, the result being to delay action
until the next District of Columbia day
in January.
The house also voted down a resolu
tion offered by Mr. Larey of Iowa
making a special order on January
the hill to restore to the Naval Acad
emy three cadets who were dismissed
for hazing. Mr. Lacey's action
criticised by Mr. Williams of Missis
sippi and others, Mr. Williams con
tending that the case of those midship
men could not be given preference
when there were so many matters of
vast public importance which could
not get time for consideration.
Hazing Condemned.
The practice of hazing was severely
condemned by Messrs. Payne of New
York. Shepperd of Texas, Mann of
Illinois and Adams of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Rrlck of Maryland defended the
cadets. The resolution wns defeated—
35 to 77.
In the discussion over thd use of
the capltol for the inaugurnl ball Mfc
Williams of Mississippi scored the in
augural committee for having In the
past refused to restore to their orig
inal condition Reservations or public
■paces occupied by stands or other
structures. An amendment by him wan
adopted requiring the Inatfgrnl commit
tee to give bond guaranteeing to re
pair all dnmage done.
Mr. Raker of New York objected to
a few individuals getting together “for
their <pwn social prestige."
“Having got rid of a saloon ln tho
capltol," Interjected Mr. 81ms of Ten
nessee, “we don’t want to turn It Into
a ball room."
Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts said
the only place where the tnl! could bo
held with regal splendor was In tho
pension building.
Mr. Pou (N. C.) believed the cere
mony should not bo conducted In a
niggardly manner and favored the plan
to use the capltol building.
Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) spoke In oppo
sition to the capltol proposition, say
ing that if tho ball was to held at nil
“it should be held decently and In
proper order." ,Ho favored the pension
building.
M, Baker Facetious,
Mr. Bnkermonvulsed the house by re
ferring to Mr. Thayer’s use of the word
"regal." The word regal, he said,
meant kingly, which had no applica
tion to a republic.
“I am opposed." ho said, amid shrieks
of laughter, "to anything being done
In this country in a regal, kin^y man
ner." He wanted It done a democratic
and simple manner.
Mr. Raker put the house In nn uproar
when ho declared that the object of
the ball was to give opportunity to the
wealthy " to parade their Jewels, their
gowns and their finery so that It can
go all over the United States that Mrs.
Tom Jones attended the president’s
ball and that she wns arrayed in such
nnd such finery, which Is believed to
have cost $5,000.
By an emphatic “No" the house voted
down tho resolution.
Mr. Morrell (Pa.) called up the bill
to grant the temporary occupancy of
the Washington monument grounds for
the American railway appliance exhi
bition, which met with opposition from
Messrs. Maddox (Qa.) and Gaines
(Tenn.).
the course of the discussion
Messrs. Gaines and Morrell had
clash In which compliment* partly
humorous and otherwise, were ex
changed. A motion to pass the bill
under suspension of the rules was vot
ed down, after which the house ad
journed until Wednesday.
rt Makes Important Do-
in Johnson Case,
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—l n a de
cision handed down by Chief Justice
Fuller In the case, of Johnson vs. the
Southern Railway company, the su
preme court of the United States today
practically held that all cars, Includ
ing locomotives, should be equipped
with uniform automatic couplers. The
court also held that dining cars can
not be exempt from the requirements
of the safety appliance law when In
use, even though empty.
The decision is considered by the in
terstate commerce officials as well as
those of the department of Justice to
be a decided step forward In the.pro
tection of railroad employes. Secre
tary Mosaly of the commission sum
marizes the points In the Judgment
follows:
“First. That couplers on railroad
cars must be of such a character that
they will couple automatically nnd so
employes from going between
cars, though absolute uniformity is not
required.
Second. A car though empty and
on a sidetrack may be engaged in In
terstate commerce.
‘Third. That for the purposes of
tho safety appliance law locomotives
are cars nnd they are required to be
equipped with automatic couplers.'

ripened Into love. She told in detail
of her many meetings with Young lit
