Washington, June 22. Pure food held the attention of the house through out today. The const itntioual features of the pure food hill were debate I hy the leading lawyers of the house, the Pelnocrata splitting wide on the ques tion whether the hill took away (mm the states their police powers. Vari oils features applicable to localities and Interests were discussed earnestly, hut it was early apparent that the. hill will he adopted practically in the form in which it came from the interstate and foreign commerce committee. General debate was closed at 8 .30, when the bill waa read and amend ments offered. The so-called "package" section was passed over, it being evident that this amendment will create much discus eion. The bill was laid aside until to morrow. Thursday, June 21. Washington. June 21.

This motion whs made hy Kittredge, and was voted down, 31 to 30. Washington, June 21. The space in front of the speaker's desk of the liouae today resembled a small section of a delicatessen store and a corner gro cery, with cereals, jams, jellies, tins of peas, tomatoes, corn, bottles of whis key and wine, imported sausages, brandied cherries and other edibles and drinkable scattered ojer the tables. To complete the picture, thero were a standard rcales with weights, n grad uate and u funnel. These were used to demonstrate the contention of the majority of the committee on inter state and foreign commerce that a pure food bill is necessary for the protection of the people. The house spent the entire day in consideration of the bill and had not completed it at adjournment. It will lie taken up again tomorrow. Wednesday, June 20. Washington, June 20.

The basis of a complete agreement on the meat in spection bill between President Roose velt and the house committee on agri culture waa arrived at today at the White House.

Knox ad dressed the senate at length today in support of the lock type for the Pan ama canal, contending that in point of feasibility and economy it is far super ior to the sea level plan. He took di rect issue with Kittredge as to the safety of the (iatiim dam.

The senate ordeied another confer ence on the naval appropriation hill. Washington, June lil. With practi cal unanimity the house today adopted the substitute for the lleveridge amend ment to the agricultural appropriation bill relating to meat inspection, the ob jectionable features of the former amendments being eliminated and the amendment perfected to meet the wishes of the president. An effort was made to extend the time of debate, hut Wadsworth, chairman of the commit tee on agriculture, desiring to get the hill into conference as soon as possible, objected. After the adoption of the amendment the hill was sent to confer ence, the conferees lauinx Wadsworth, Scott (Kan.) ami 1-ainb (Va.) A large number of hills were passed under suspension of rules. Through the efforts of Champ Clark, of Mia sourl. and Williaiis, of Mississippi, the subsidiary silver coinage bill failed to secure enough votes to pass it under the rule. Japanese Tells How to Make Earthquake-Proof Buildings. Han r ranc:se , June 20. "Dishonest mortar- a corrupt conglomeration of sea sand and lime- was resp insible for nearly all of the earthquake damage in Han Francisco," said lr. T. Nnkamura, professor of architecture of the Imper ial university of Tokio and a member of the committee dispatched to this city by the Japanese government to in vestigate the effects of the treinblore and fire. I)r. Nakamura will sail on the Korea today, to report to his gov ernment. "I find," said Dr. Nakamura yester day, "that much of the damage to Han Francisco from the earthquake was due to poor mortar and faulty construction, and the greater portion of the damage to the class 'A' buildings hy fire was the result of misguided use of hollow tiling and Mi-called fire blocks instead of concrete. "There has developed as a result of the earthquake in Han Francisco, great prejudice against brick buildings. How ever, they are largely employed in Japan, where earthquakes of greater severity than the one experienced in this city are not uncommon. The se cret of their success, however, lies in the fact that good mortar is used. The mortar should either he comprised of one part cement to two parts of sand, or of one part cement, three of lime and five of sand. The bricks should be thoroughly wet before being laid, and when the mortar has set under these conditions, a wall becomes practically one stone." Monday, June 18. Washington, June 18. After another day devoted largely to the Lake Erie A Ohio river canal bill, the senate today passed that measure with only 11 votes in the negative. In addition, several bills to which there was no objection received favorable action. There also was further discussion between Tillman and Hopkins over the resolution of the former for an investigation of the ques tion of national bank contributions to political campaigns, which involved a renewed reference to the failure of the Chicago national b mk . The session adjourned upon the offi cial announcement of the death of Les ter, of Georgia. Washington, June IS. A black- draped desk in the hall of the house of representatives today told the story of the passing of Kufus Lester, late a representative in congress from the First Georgia district. Previous to any announcement Wadsworth, of New York, asked unanimous consent, which was granted, that the agricultural bill, with senate amendments, be recom mitted to the committee on agriculture. Payne, of New York, by unanimous consent, then fixed Tuesday and Wed nesday as suspension days, instead of today, in view of the early adjourn ment of the house. Bartlett, of Georgia, announced the death of his late colleague, stating that he had been a member of the house for nearly 18 years. He offered the usual resolutions, which were agreed to. As further mark of respect, the houEe then adjourned until tomorrow. COMPANIES WOLF MAY SUE. Names Those Which Disobey Law and May Forfeit Licenses. Han Francisco, June 20.

A tacit agree ment ws reached today by the presi dent. Secretary Shaw and the delega tion of representative citizens of San Francisco by which substantial aid will he given San Francisco by the govern ment. It is proposed that the United States treasury deposit with the San Fr.ncisco banks $12,000,000 of govern ment money, with bonds of the city at security, the money to remain in the hanks until the government shall call for it. Under the law the secretary of the treasury has authority to deposit gov ernment funds in this way, but cannot hind his FUoceBsor. It is hoped in Cal ifornia to organize a corporation with a capital of several millions of dollars, to issue bonds to guarantee the govern ment against loss through the banks. Other plans have been cuggested for the raising of money to enable the peo pie of California to rebuild their homes and business houses, hut thus far noth ing has been proposed that will meet the ideas of congress.

About ten species of "vegetable sponges" are now cultivated In the warmer parts of Africa and Asia, espe cially lu Algeria. The fruit is edible lx;fore maturity, but on ripening th pulp separates from the fibrous mate rial, which then becomes an excellent substitute for real sponge for the toilet, bath room ami many other purposes. The Algerian sponges are la large de mand In Paris. The snail, "the poor man's oyster" of France and .Spain, Is pronounced a very pleasing food when selected frou. clean feeding grounds and properly cooked. Its nutritive value Is 100 per cent greater than that of the oyster, analysis showing that -the solids em brace nearly tH) per cent of tissue build ing proteld matter, besides which are 5 er cent of fat and 4 ir cent of min eral substance Including phosphates. Talking before the Institution of Electrical Engineers at Glasgow, on the unknown energy contained In tho hemlcal elements and the prospect of making It available, V. Soddy said that the forces at our disposal compared with those exhibited when an atom suffers change are of a different and lower order of magnitude. Suppose, he said, that a way could be found In which uranium, which disintegrates to the extent of a thousand-millionth part annually, could be made to disintegrate completely In the course of a year; then from one gram of uranium 1,000, 000,000 caloric could be evolved, which, converted Into electric energy, would suffice to keep a 32 candle-power lamp burning continuously through the year. By the expenditure of about one ton of uranium, costing less than $5,000, more energy would be derived than Is supplied by all the electric supply-stations of London put together. Much has been said of late In favor of the extensive cultivation of tbe black locust, and one railroad company la reported to have planted nearly 1,500,- 000 trees of this species, with the view of utilizing their extraordinarily du rable wood. But Charles A. White of the Smithsonian Institution points out. In the Popular Science Monthly, that the black locust possesses a mortal en emy lu a longicoru beetle, which bores the wood through and through. It Is a native of the same regions In which the tree flourishes, and dej.ends upon the tree for Its own existence. When jwpulatlon flowed to Illinois and Iowa, the black locust was taken along. It flourished luxuriantly for some years, until Its Insect foe followed It, and now; says Mr. White, nothing remains of the great groves of black locust In the Middle West except blasted remnants. The tree, native east of the Allegiienies. from New York to the Gulf, was also transplanted to Europe, whither IU enemy has not followed It. Ekv In Georgia. NV'jcu the traveler stopped for lunch eon at a small railway eutlug house lu Georgia, says a writer In the Atlanta Constitution, a diminutive colored boy coveied with some three 'cet of soiled apron, appeared and In none too centle a ti.e announced that th bill of fare was ham, eggs, corn bread and coffee. After duo deliberation, the traveler said he would like soui) ham, eggs, corn bread and coffee. Such a pretentious order for one Der- 8on ttaggered the small waiter momen tarily. But he soon recovered, and as he Uarted toward the klt.'heu he said : "How'll yer hab dem eggs, boss, blind or lockln at yer?" "Lroktn' at me," replied the traveler. feeling sure that eggs that were turned ove would be likely to bo cooked too long to be either palatable or whole some. A Joke on tbe Speaker. T't'i Sprlugfleld Itepubllcan tells of a Jokrt that was played the other day on Speuker Cannon of the United States House of Representatives. When the Speaker sat down at his desk he found a el'p of paper asking him to call up uumber so-and-so on the 'phone. Ila did as requested, saying, '"Do you want me'r" "I don't know," came back the an swer vell, I haven't time to be fooling around here; do you went me?" In sisted the Speaker. "Who are you. anyway?" "This Is the government hospital for the insane," was the rply; "If you think you ought to be he-o, why, com along" Don't expect any man to thank you for trying to Induce him to do wbut h doesn't waut to do.
