found, admitted to the police that he
had spent a year and a half In Iowa
Insane asylums and had served five
terms In Pennsylvania and Iowa pris
ons for burglary and safe robbery.
Fountain, who reported the crime,
was arrested. When first taken into
custody he talked volubly, but later
under a siege of vigorous questioning
by the police nnd district attorney, he
was taciturn and sullen.
He was led to the little room under
the belfry of the church where the
murder Is believed to have been com
mitted and whose floor still bears
traces of the tragedy. No emotion was
exhibited by the janitor.
The police declared themselves to
be well satisfied with the Investiga

penitentiary at Cherry Hill, Pa., and

CONGRESS BEGINS
SESSION
Attention Will Co Chiefly De
voted to Seven Great Ap
propriation Measures
Washington. At. noon Monday the
third session of the Sixty-third Con
gress convened,
Democratic- leaders In Informal con
fereuees before the opening of the ses
sion, which Is destined to be devoted
chiefly to npprcprtatlim measures,
have been unanimous lit expressing
the hope that the legislative- program
of necessities could bo concluded by
March 4 next, when the present con
gress automatically will end.
Many republican leaders, however,
have said that there were many Im
portant measures which they would
urge for passage, and some Indicated
that supply bills might be delayed to
such an extent that an extra session
next spring and summer would be ne
cessary. Important Measures Pending In Senate
lit'fore the senate committee on
Philippine Islands, the bill to pave the
way for Philippine Independence,
which passed the house at the last
session, Is pending.
Other important measures pending
In the senato are the Immigration bill,
with the literacy test for alleus, which
passed the house at the last session,
and rural credits legislation.
At least seven of the great annual
supply measures of congress are to be
rushed, so as to report them to the
house before the Christmas holidays.
These are the legislative, executive
and judicial, the District of Columbia,
fortifications, pensions, military, post
office and rivers and harbors appro
priation bills.
Before the bouse are pending the
proposed financial relief of the cotton
states, under an agreement reached
at the last session.
Cotton Currency Stems Doomed.
Representative Henry, chairman ot
the rules committee, says he is pre
pared to renew his fight for the $-60,-000,000
cotton currency bill as a sub
stitute for a currency measure for en
larging the amount of currency that
can be based on commercial paper, a
measure that the federal reserve board
and administration leaders In con
gress have icrewd Is no longer neces
sary. Chairman Glass, of the house cur
rency committee, who pressed this
commercial paper bill at the lust ses
sion, has abandoned bis efforts for It.
The indications are that the cotton
proposition will be defeated.
Members In Washington have In
formally discussed the military situa
tion, particularly the agitation started
by Representative Gardner, of Massa
chusetts, In behalf of his resolution
for an investigation Into the prepared
ness of the United States for war. The
resolution to Investigate has been
pending In the house since the latter
part of last session and Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, plans to introduce
a similar resolution In the senate.
The subject is certain to precipitate
lively discussion, but administration
leaders and the president are under
stood to be opposed to the passage of
the resolution, arguing that all facts
relating to the condition of the army
and navy are known or available with
out such an Inquiry.
In this connection, too, the appro
priations for the army and navy will
further open debate on the military
situation. Both the military and naval
committees of the bouse have been at
work on the supply bills and will con
tinue dally sessions.
Washington State Will Buy Bonds.
Vancouver, Waeh. That the state
will buy $250,000 worth of the Clarke
County Interstate bridge bonds was
made known to W. N. Marshall, coun
ty auditor, In a letter from Kdward
Meath, state treasurer.

to Arizona Act.

lodged with the department agalimt
the Arizona law by the British and
Italian ambassadors and a mesuage
was sent to Governor Hunt asking If
he had authority to postpone action.
The Britlah ambassador informed

did not make any reference in his note
to any treaty between Great Britain
and the United Stntes, but baBed his
proteBt on the provision In the consti
tution of the United States, which de
clares that no states shall "deny to
