WASHINGTON. April 14. The Senate yesterday resumed consideration of the railroad 1)111, section by section, giving attention to amendments offered' by Chairman Elkins, of"- the Interstate Commerce Commission. The only amendment adopted was one permitting the inclusion of complainants in suits before the proposed court of commerce grow lug; out of orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in this the opponents won a victory. The committee's original proposal was to per mit the . appearance of complainants only through counsel. As agrreed upon yesterday, the provis ion permits all persons Interested to be come parties to the suit. The more lib eral provision was conceded by the sup porters of the bill and. there was no votina; decision. In response o a question from Xew- lands, Cummins saie that he would at tempt later to have the bill modified to have the Interstate Commerce Commis sion continue in its present relationship of suitor. Newiands strongly advocated such a course, ylughes criticised the amendment as not going far enough. He would have it require the presence in' court of all who would be affected by the decree. He argued that an Indi vidual might be placated and Induced to withdraw, while an entire community was interested in the result. Bacon sug gested a modification of the provision to meet Hughes' viewer- which was adopted. Elklns then formally offered his amendment, striking out the provision requiring the court of commerce to take into consideration tiie effect upon pub lic Interest of any proposed consolida tion of railroads in passing in advance upon agreements looking to such con solidation! Cummins sought to enlarge the scope of the amendment by striking out the entire provision authorizing advance action by the court on such agree ments. He said he thought "the tail should go with the hide." Elkins introduced an amendment withholding from the Interstate Com merce Commission the right to estab lish through routes and 'Joint rates when a satisfactory and reasonable route by rail and water exists. Brlstow opposed the new amendment on the ground that it would permit monopoly. He contended that It would prevent an independent steamship line from being established where the rail, roads already had a line. Elkins said the provision had beery suggested at the instance of the water carriers. The amendment was pending when the Senate adjourned. CUPID DEPLETES RANKS ALIi TELEPHONE GIRLS MARRY, WAIL MANAGERS. One Company Offers Re-ward to Stop .Pernicious Custom Among Its Employes. OSB HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD. To any one who will tell us how to pre vent our operators from marrying we will pay one1 hundred dollars rflOO). CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY. CHICAGO, March 14. This offer, which is genuine, shows how little dependence can toe placed in the Government statis tics relative to the chances of a telephone operator to win a husband. The announcement from Washington that 93 per cent of the telephone opera tore in the United Stated are unmarried caused amused smiles to spread over the faies of the more than 4000 girls seated at Chicago switchboards. Remembering the old adage that you can prove anything with statistics, and remaining steadfast in the belief that Cupid -is their host friend, they went along answering calls with thesame sweet voloesthat have won so many of them husbands that the company they work for constantly is In despair over the question of filling their places. "Of course 92 per cent of the telephone operators are unmarried.'"' said H. N. Foster, traffic manager of the company. 'The trouble is that as soon as they get married they cease to be telephone opera tors. Let the Bureau of Labor gather some figures on the number of former operators who now are married and I'll venture to say his percentages will be reversed. ' "Twenty-five per cent of our girls re married every year. Practically all the ehanges we make in our force are made necessary by the inroads of Cupid. It is the etertial - question with us how to prevent our girls from nvarrying and If anybody thinks our offer of a reward for a preventive scheme is & Joke lef him come across with a feasible plan and see how quick he'll get his $100." The Chicago Telephone Company does not employ girls under 16 nor over 24 years old, and this is another reason for so many unmarried operators. 'Considering the ages of our girls." con tinued Mr. l"oster, "you might say with Just as muc'h sense that 2 per cent of school 'girls are unmarried, or that 92 per cent of the children of , the country are unmarried. A girl can't marry jmtil she is of marrying age, and the majority of our girls are under rather than over the required age. Most of-our girls are Just out of school and at the time we take them the Idea, of marriage has not entered their- minds. "The average length of service for the girls with the Chicago Telephone Com pany is less than three years, and so you can see about what their chances for marrying are. Don't deceive your self in thinking a telephone operator has no chance of marriage." Miss Daisy Matthews ' an operator in the Tarda office of the company, con fessed the problem of keeoing out of mar riage, rather than the one of getting into it, was what bothered most of the Kirls. "Every day nearly the telephone girls are pestered with otters of marriage, she said. "For a. girl to say 'hello' Is enough to prompt a surprisingly large number of -men to propose. We simply have to close our ears to the offers of marriage.1 When 'asked if she could explain the Government 92 per cent, Miss Matthews smiled andsaid: "I don't see why one should wish to be a telephone girl if one were married."

NEW TARIFF IS ATTACKED Jefferson Day Banquet Gives Lead ers Opportunity to Dilate on Sins y of Republicans and Swell With High Hope. . WASHINGTON', April 14. Vigorous attacks upon the Republican policy of high protection, condemnation of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. which it was claimed was one of the principal causes of high prices, strong: defense of the principles of Thomas- Jefferson and loudly-applauded prediction of Demo cratic victory at the coming Congres sional elections were made by the speakers at the banquet here last night in honor of the birth of Thomas Jef ferson. With members of both houses of Con gress among the speakers, and with rep resentatives oT Democracy from all parts of the United States present, tne banquet was an enthusiastic approval of the prin ciples of Jefferson. "The certainty of Democratic harmony and the restoration of government to tle rule of the Democratic party," were de clared by Representative Clayton. of Alabama, the toastmaster, to be due to the "sins of omission and of commission by the Republican party." Vicarious1 sac rifice of certain members of the Repub lican party, -he said, would not be ac cepted by the people of the country as a sufficient aerology for- the faults of the party. The Democratic party, he main tained, will remain harmonious. On motion of Representative Lloyd, of Missouri, it was voted to send greetings to the Jefferson day banquet in Indianap olis. The first speaker of the evening was .Representative Harrison, of New York. He declared that for the Democratic party all signs were harbingers of hope and that being "United and harmonious, alert and aggressive." Democracy might well celebrate the day. . y While acknowledging "the people to day like and admire President Taft," Mr. HarriBon asserted that instead of "de manding a genuine revision of the tariff upon the promise " of which he was elected, he capitulated to the powerful interests of the old Republican machine. The President is unfortunate in having ! led a life of political progression along ! tne lines of least jresistance." Senator Ben F. Shively of Indiana spoke on Jefferson's political philos ophy. He attacked Republican party rule as a confederacy of special priv ileges, which had turned tlte taxing power of Government "into private as sets. Minority Leader Champ Clark of Mis souri then spoke. Condemning the Re publican party as the "most extrav agant the sun ever shone on" and call ing what he dubbed "the Payne-Ald-rich-Smoot tariff bill" the worst tariff bill ever placed upon the statute books. Mr. Clark declared "it and its predeces sor, the Dlngley bill, with the trusts bred by the high tariff, are largely re sponsible for the high cost of living." He continued: If a high tariff does not Increase prices, why do the tariff barons want a tariff ? The question answers itself.

Reasons of English Schoolboys Kansas City Star. - -'Shoufd women have votes for Par liament? Give your reasons for anct against." This was a question asked of schoolboys in a. recent examination in England. One boy replied: "No, because If they did they would want to get into Parliament and then they would pass a lot of silly laws, such as that a man was not to smoke before his wife or that wives were to have Wednesdays and Thursdays off and then the men would have to stay at home and mind the children. " A logical answer to the question, "Why does the kettle sing?" was furnished by a boy who wrote: "Because if it did not you could not tell whe- the kettle was boiling." Asked to explain the initials "C. O. D.," one boy replied that they stood for "Collector of debts," and a second said, "Cod-liver oil drink." An other enterprising youth described a sleeping partner as "A man who goes to sleep when playing bridge." Asked how he would mend the puncture in a bicycle tire, a boy's answer was to the point: "I would get a box of the stuff that you do it with and stick it on." Modern canning began with the invention of sterilization. In the old days most of us for most of the year had to go without fresh vegetables and fruits. Now we have them all the time. Hundreds of millions of cans are put up in the season of plenty for the seasons of dearth. This has had im mense effect on good health, for fresh vege tables form an essen tial part of our diet. Don't let mistaken prejudice rob you of all this good. Canned vesetables and fruit have the same freshness and flavor are just as free from preservatives as those you cook your self. This is always irue. Fruits and vegetables vnaturallyvary. One crop may excel another. One section may growfiner grades than another. But pure, all free from preservatives. tomato meat.
