Mr. Hay of Virginia favored the amend
ment.
Mr Mahon said he would be frank. He

i. pay end rank to officers who
were not entitled to promotion. The Ma
hon amendment prevailed.
Mr. McDermott of New Jersey, offered
to make It mandatory upon
tha President to reduce the enMated force
of the army to 8.000 on Dec. 1, 19-/2 The
amendment was defeated.
Knoeked Out the Canlegu.
Mr Littlefield ef Maine offered tha fol
lowing substitute for Ihe canteen provis
ion of the bill:
"The eale or dealing In beer, wine or
Intoxicating llquoni by any person In any

port or upon ar.y premises, used for mili
tary purposes by the United Btates Is
hereby prohibited The Becr-tery of War
Is hereby directed to carry the provision*
ef this section Into full fores and ef
fect "
The section for which the substitute
was offered, he said, was practically a
re-enactment of the present law Mr.
Littlefield read a le-ter from Adjt Gen
Corbin staling that 9f> qyr cent of the
officer# of the army favored Ihe canteen
system. Against Ihe present op.nlon of
Gen. Corbin. Mr. Llttl-lleld road a state
ment made by Oen. Corbin In 1*93. con
demnlng the canteen system as not con
ducive to Ihe discipline or Ihe best In

attack upon prohibition as It obtained In
Maine.
Mr Orosvenor of Ohio declared that
prohibition had been a failure wnwrwver
It had been tried Nevertheless, he said,
he would vote for the amendment.
Mr. Hay of Virginia favored the amend
ment. Aside from the question of tem
perance he believed it wee wrong for the
government to engage In tha sale of li
quor. He wa opposed to throwing temp
tation In Ihe direct path of young men
who entered the army. He asserted that
th evidence of Ihe army officers wee not
altogether on one side of the question,

Mr Littlefield contended that problbl-

Mr. Fltagcrald than proposed an umand
mem to prohibit the sale of liquor In the
Capitol building.
Mr. Hull made the point of order that
the amendment was not germane.
Mr. Fitsgeroid said that If tha soldiers
were to be prevented from drinking upon
the premise* of the United States, mem
bers of Congress should not be allowed to
firing In the Capitol. Tha Chair sus
tained the point of order, whereupon Mr.

Cham lien*, a prominent merchant of Pan

Th* tragedy wa* one of the Moodiest
that has ever occurred in this section. Dr
Thompson came here from Williamsport
st.venal months ago Recently he decided
to leave town and return 10 Williamsport.
He sold a porno* ot hit furniture lo Mr.
Chambers. When settling the deal last
night b and Chambers came to blows
over an argument. Then Chamorro or
dered the doctor to leave his store. The
latter did so and returned noon after
itvards with a revbiver He told Cham
bers that one of the two must die right
speedily. Chambers, without rising from
his chair, fired. The doctor fell, but
arose qu-ckty. shot hack over hi* shoul
der and a minute later dropped dead
Adam Bailey, a former htwines* part
ner of Chambers and an Intimate friend
of the Pennsylvanian, rushed Into th*
store, boiling with rage, and pulled hts
revolver.
"That wa* a cowardly murder," crltd
-Bailey to Chambers, "and you will have
to kill me or I will kl.l you."
Chamber* raised Ids double-barta-ed
shotgun and fired. The contents entered
Hatley* bre-tsl. completely penetrating
hta body, making a hole large enough to
drop an egg through. He fell In the store,
but Chambers dragged Ihe body outside
of the ttore and laid It beside that of Dr.
Thompson, where he left them. There
they lay In the street until after niM
nlgt. when a coroner’s Inquest was held.
