WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The House
today voted to abolish all the pension
agencies throughout the country,
eighteen in number, and centralize the
payment of pensions In the city of
Washington. This action was taken
on the pension appropriation bill after
spirited opposition on the part of those
having pension agencies In their States.
By a vote of 53 to 114. an amend
ment offered by Mr. Dalze!!, of Penn
sylvania, restoring the number of
agencies to eighteen, as at present was
defeated and then an amendment of
fered by Mr. Martlniz. of Michigan,
consolidating all the agencies In one
was adopted without discussion. The
pension appropriation bill, carrying
$138,000,000 in round numbers, was
passed.
A message from the President was
read relative to insurance and at 2:00,
out- of respect to the memory of the
late Senator Alger, of Michigan, the
House adjourned.

the archives of the American consulate

BISHOPS OF THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH IN CONFERENCE
Resolution as to Duty of the
Church to the Negro
Race,
Outline of Work
for Evangelists
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—A confer
ence of bishops of the Episcopal Church
of the United States, after being in
executive session in this city for two
days, tonight decided on a plan as to
“the church's duty toward the negro
race, as regards education and evan
gelization.”
The following resolution was unani
mously adopted:
’■Resolved, that instruction in the
fundamentals of Christian morality is
the foremost need among the negroes
of our day; that the inculcation of
these* principles is a prime duty and
responsibility of the church, and that
in the present necessity the negro
clergy should be supplemented by
evangelists, catechists, teachers, visi
tors and subordinate ministers who
-hall :::ve thejr 'hief attention to
teaching righteousness, and that the
schools related to the American church
institute for negroes are and of right
ought to be the natural sources for the
supply and training of men for this
work.”
The sessions were held at the resi
dence of the Rt. Rev. Henry T. Sat-
torlee. bishop of Washington, and the
following were in attendance: Bish
ops Doane, of Albany, N. Y.; Greer, of
New York city; Lawrence, of Massa
chusetts: Whitaker, of Pennsylvania;’
Gibson, of Virginia; Randolph Tucker,

BAILEY HIS Hi
CHARGE TO FACE
AUSTIN. Texas. Jan. 24.—The spec
ial committees appointed by the State
Legislature to investigate charges pre
ferred against Senator Bailey, met In
executive session today. While the
proceedings were not made public, it
Is believed that the additional charges
preferred on yesterday hy Represen
tative Cocke, wherein it is charged that
Senator Bailey used his official posi
tion to manipulate land deals in Indian
Territory to his private gain, werh
considered. Because of the grave char
acter of the charges Involving a pos
sible violation of a Federal statute, the
committee has decided to limit the
range of Inquiry until more definite in
formation can be secured.
The charges further declare that
Senator Bailey procured a loan from
Judge J. M. Lindsay, of Gainesville,
Texas, in 1S92, while procuring from
Congress a right <jf way through In
dian Toritor.v for the Gainesville, Me-
A lies tor -and St. Louis Railway Com
pany The committee decided that
senator Bailey would not be required
appear before thp committee bpforo
ad tch evidence was submitted, inas
much as'he was on the defensive. Son-
a:or Bailey ha? announced that he will
net leave Austin until after the investi
gation is concluded.
WILL TAKE TESTIMf
BILLS ILLITERATE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The extent
to which child labor Is employed in the
Southern cotton mills is set forth in
a bulletin Issued by the census bureau
today. The statistics show that the
cotton mills furnish employment to
children “bread winners” to a greater
extent than any other manufacturing
industry. In 1900 the number of cot
ton mill operatives between 10 and la
years of age was 44,427.
By'far the greatest degree of illitera
cy, the bulletin says, is that shown for
the children in cotton mills. In the
South almost one-half of the cotton
mill operatives 10 to 14 years of age
are illiterate and about one-fourth of
those 15 to 20 years of age. The
smaller percentage in the older group
of operatives would indicate that a
good many of these children learn to
read and write after they are 10 years
old. But the t percentage of illiteracy
in the older group is still very high,
rendering it probable that large num
bers of these children are destined to
rdrnain Illiterate for the rest of their
lives.

with considerable loss, hut as they took
both their dead and wounded with

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—Consul J.
I. Brittain. United States Consul at
Kohl. Germany, reports that there has
for many months been a serious short
age of ears in Germany. All the rail
roads there are owned and operated by
the Government. Mr. Brittain says, in
a report to the State Department:
"The greatest cause of the scarcity
(of cars) is the extraordinary activity
in the iron and steel industry. For the
first half of 1906 nearly 700,000 more
cars of coal, coke and patent fuel were
delivered by the syndicate than during
the corresponding period of last year,
and the dally dispatch of cars has fre
quently exceeded 21,000 in number.
"Tli" Prussian State Railway au
thorities have been severely criticised
J in consequence of the shortage of rail-
i way cars. Thus, during June, although
! 221.991 more cars were available than
| In June. 1905. the shortage amounted to
I nearly 1.000 cars a day. But. on the
| other hand, it is questioned whether,
even with this shortage made good, it
would have been possible to satisfy the
demand.
"The marked scarcity of cars at this
time of the year is all the more dis
quieting. since the farmers will shortly
be drawing heavily upon all available
railway roiling stock to move agricul
tural produce. The result of this de
ficit in the number of cars supplied has
been that in several collieries the min
ers have been compelled temporarily to
stop work, a measure which in these
days of high wages is a costly mat
ter.

Terry, paying teller at the United

the assistant paying teller, handed
their resignations to Assistant Treas
urer Hamilton Fish today. The resig
nations were given at the request of
Mr. Fish and they wore at once acJ*

Mr. Fish declined to make public
the reason for his action in the case,
beyond saying that both Terry and Lee
had been guilty of irregularities which
could not be overlooked. He says the
accounts of both men were absolutely
correct.- When he learned of the irreg
ularities. the nature of which he would
not disclose, he called Terry and Lee
before him and gave them the choice
of handing in their resignations at
once or having charges preferred
against them to the subtreasury. They
chose the former alternative. Terry
had been connected with the subtreas
ury in this city in various capacities
for more than thirty years, and Lee
had been in the service almost as long
his superior officer.
DISTRICT OE COLUMBIA
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.—President
Roosevelt sent today to congress the fol
lowing message favoring a model insur
ance law in the District of Columbia:
“To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives:
’I transmit herewith a report and
subsequent letter from the superintend
ent Of the department- of insurance of
the District of Columbia, and a letter of
Mr. Brandeis. of Boston, in reference
thereto. X agree with the recommenda
tion of Mr. Drake that what Is needed
ife an insurance law for the District of
Columbia, on the lines of the so-called
Ames bill, already introduced in the
house of representatives, revising :t so
as to include all the desirable features
of the so»called uniform bill. With prop
er modifications aftor expert revision this
bill could be enacted into a law so com
prehensive and just that it would stand
as a model of equity. I regret greatly
that there is not national power to detU
with this subject, but inasmuch as this
seems at present to be the case, we
shoulld at least establish a model law In
the District of Columbia. I feel that the
department of insurance of the District
of Columbia should bo made a bureau

Making Moving Picture*.
From the Kansas City Star.
Did you ever think how many, many
feet of film pass through the machine
that produces the moving pictures you see
nowadays in the vaudeville houses? Of
course, this depends entirely on the length
of the entertainment, hut usually about
1.000 feet of film are used in every per
formance in the Orpheum theater. That's
14.000 feet a week—two performances a
day—or about one-half million feet of film
in the season of 36 weeks. That’s nearly
100 miles.
This film costs S or 12 cents a foot, an
Item of expense so largo that tho many

Mayson is drawing an ordinance by the

Peachtree is now being repaved with

Origin of “Robin Adair.”
From the Pall Mall Gazette.

as everybody knows, is "Robin Adair:”
1 but the origin of the song is not so
j familiar as the tune. Indeed, it may
; be said of the song that its origin is
”wrop in a mistry,” though a writer
in a morning contemporary definitely
i attributes the authorship to Lady Car-

in himself: "My brother has a fam

my shocks and place them with his,
without his knowledge.” Great was the
surprise of both, when on the. follow

undiminished. This happened several
nights in succession, when each re

so, and on the foilc.wing sight the two
brothers met haif way between their

Origin of “Piccadilly.”
From the London Chronicle.
A new theory as to the origin of
"Piodflly” was put forward by Arch
deacon (Bickersteth about forty years
ago. He had discovered a Piccadilly
among the Chilterns, the central one of
three conical hills near Ivinghoe, and
he learnt that iiis hil! had at one time
been known also as Peaked Hill. Migbc
not London's Piccadilly likewise b« a
Peaked Hill. No doubt the hill in Pic
cadilly is not remarkably peaky, but
then the same thing might be said of
the Derbyshire Peak Itself. There is
another Piccadilly near Abersvtwith,
and yet another near Bolton. But in
the provinces one always suspects bor
rowing from London In such cases.
There are Hyde Park Corners in pro
vincial towns that have no Hyde Park
to justify them.
