WASHINGTON. March 23. "My Judg
ment is that a railroad rate bill will pass
the Senate within ten days or two
weeks."
This statement was made by Sen

given at the White House today to the
probable date of the adjournment of

Representative Hlnshaw (Nebraska)
said: "If the Senate should dispose of

HOUSE HAS A FEW WRANGLES
Private Car for President Ruled
Out Smith's Bitter Irony.
WASHINGTON. March 23.-The consid
eration of tho legislative appropriation
Ml! in the House today was enlivened by
a small spat between Prince and Tawney.
a proposition to buy a private car for the
Present, which was ruled out of order.
a4 a Jeerinj; speech by Smith of Arizona
afcMHit thv suppression of debate by the
rates.
Aj echo of the statehood controversy
yesterday resulted In an effort to correct
ike Journal. Williams maintained he was
jhk in tho ridli.uluus position of moving
to lstnnn the conferees after they had
hm appointed, a motion clearly out of
Mrtlw at that time. The correction was
MMde as suggested.
Private Car for President.
The legislative bill was taken up.
Galues Dom.. Tenn.) offered an. amend
rnvni providing 5100.00ft for a private car
fee the President. It made no difference
wiHfther the President went on an official
trip r on a bear hunt, Gaines suggested
le aught to be made comfortable.
A point of order by Littauer was fatal
to the proposition, although he recognized
Its probable necessity.
Babcock Rep.. Wis.) asked Littnucr If
ho Hd net think it wise for tills Congress
in provide a private car for the President.
It wight be. was the answer, but if so,
it ttuchl to be properly considered.
A point of order by Prince (Rep.. 111.)
was fatal to the proposed Increase of
threo examiners and six clerks for the
' CMl Service Commission.
Tle testimony of Mr. Wallace, late of
the Panama Canal Commission, on the
inefficiency of the civil service employes.
was road to the House by Cooper (Rep.,
"Wis.), who commented on the worthless
ncss of the testimony and then defended
. the civil service.
Six clerks in the field force of the Civil
Service Commission, being proposed In
creases, went out of the bill on a point
of order by Prince.
Wrangle About Sick Janitor.
Considerable feeling was developing be
tween members of the appropriations
.committee in thus enforcing the rules, and
this came to a head at tho conclusion of
Trince's reply to Tawney. when the lat
tr asked Prince to explain whether ho
was not responsible for the appointment
of a Janitor in the Capitol at $60 a month
who was drawing pay and not doing
work.
Tlie question brought Prince to his feet
Instantly. He declared with some heat
that he would give a detailed cxplana
tlon. It was that the employe In ques
tkn had become sick and had been sent
home for treatment. Meantime tho work
wan being done and paid for by the em
ploye.
Arlzonlan Sboffs at Rules.
Mark Smith, delegate from Arizona,
punctuated the debate with a facetious
application of the rules to the statehood
bill.
''Why don't the committee arise, get a
'special rule from the Speaker and then
pass the bill without evon reading itT' he
asked. "What's the use of wasting time?
jou Qan dispose of two million people In
twenty minutes. It has got to that point
-where consideration of a olll la folly."
It would suit him. he said, to see tho
rules worked to the limit, even to the
abolishing -of unanimous consent, that the
country might get a wholesome knowl
edg of .what they are.
"If you did that, you might lose a pub
lie building," suggested Shackleford.
"Possibly I might lose a Postmaster In
Learns That Player In "Dispute
Signed With San Frnncb-co Long
Prior to February 15.
SEATTLE. Wash.. March 23. (Special)
Ixite this afternoon Seattle quit Its fight
for "Kid" Mohler; quit within an hour
after announcing the ultimatum that un
less San Francisco waived Its claim and
gave Mohler to Seattle the Elliott, Bay
Club would sell its park and go out of
business. The echo had not died away
after the latest "defi" before the club
backers climbed down tho ladder Into a
nice deep hole and kept still.
It is announced the reason for dropping
the Mohler fight i that' the discovery was
made that Mohler accepted San Fran
cisco's terms on January 27, while he
signed with Seattle February 15.
All along the men who keep their fing
ers on the pulse of baseball knew that
Mohler had accepted San Francisco's
terms before he algned with Seattle. The
ground upon which Seattle quit was tho
one ignored in the previous fights to keep
him, and the abandonment of the Mohler
fight will probably be traced to some
other cause at a later day.

The World's Greatest Lady Rifle Shot
USES AND RECOMMENDS
NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE
The Original Remedy that Kills the Dandruff Germ
"Traveling as I do continuously, I have been troubled a
jrreat deal with dandruff and falling: hair, and until I tried
Hcrpicide I never found a remedy that was satisfactory.
Herpicide is a delightful preparation that fulfills the
claims made for it, and no lady's toilet is complete with
out it, 1 highly recommend it to my friends."
(Signed) ANNIE OAKLEY.
It is certainly significant that Miss Oakley, the celebrated rifle shot and theatrical
star, who has traveled so extensively abroad, should choose Xewbro's Herpicide as the most
efficacious toilet remedy for the scalp. No one will doubt her opportunity to choose the
best, and those who have seen the natty and winsome Miss Oakley, will not doubt her
power of discrimination in matters of this sort.
Newbro's Herpicide is a scientific germicide and prophylactic for the hair and scalp,
it destroys the germ or microbe that causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, after
which the hair will grow as nature intended except in cases of incurable baldness. Extra
ordinary results sometimes follow the continued use of Newbro's Herpicide.
If your hair is dull, brittle or lusterless, don't wait until it begins to fall, but save and
beautify it with Newbro's Herpicide. In addition to its wonderful medicinal qualities,
Xewbro's Herpicide is the daintiest and most delightfully refreshing hair dressing avail
able. The first application proves its goodness. Try it. Hcrpicide contains no grease,
it Trill not stain or dye. STOPS ITCHING- OP THE SCALP INSTANTLY.
At Drugstores Send 10c in stamps to The Herpicide Co., Dept. N., Detroit, Mich., for Sample
NOTE If the druggist suggests a substitute, walk out of his store and send the advertised
price direct to us. We will immediately express the Herpicide direct to yourtdQrt all
charges paid. THE HERPICIDE CO., DETROIT, MICH.

The International Individual tu-of-war
tournament will be Inaucuratod at the
Tivoll Gardens, Twenty-third and Wash

from the Interest manifested In the con
tests among tlie admirers of this sport,
the atfalr will be witnessed by one of the
large crowds of tho season.
The two recent tournaments at Merrill's
Hall and the Armory demonstrated that
feats of brawn appealed to the sport-lov
ing public, and as the tournament which
starts tonight furnished something out of
the ordinary, the promoters are pangulne

LOUISVILLE, March 23. The break
ing of records by two-man teams and
the action of the executive committee
of the American Bowling; Congress In
throwing out a high-mark established
last night, resulted in several changes
today In the positions of the contest
ants. The previous, wqrl.l's. record for a
two-man tenm. rolled under slightly
different conditions, was 1237. but Reed
and Drcctsbach. of Columbus, today I
went as high as 1247. only to be them

Hlon and Hussic. of Philadelphia, who
rolled 1258.
The executive- committee threw out
the record of 675 made last night by
Walter Tuthlll. of Brooklyn, rolling; In
the individuals for Charles Carlson, of i
the Chicago Centuries. The record was !
discarded because Carlson, who had a
broken finger, should have engaged
Stevens, the man who took his place
two days ago. Tne standing ot tne

Detroit, first, with 6"i0: R. Hollowny, ,
Indianapolis, second, with 4S: Vander- ;
