( MXTY-SiJiO.M) COM.'IiESS (LOSKS President Tait Yetoi's Sundry Chili Bill and .New Mexico Senator Talks Indian Bill to Death. Washington, March 4.?Two of the j annual appropriation bills necessary I to the maintenance of the Federal J government failed to passage to day, i tvhen the 62nd congress wound up its j affairs. Senator Fall, of New Mexico, holding the floor through the closing hours of the session, talked the Indian appropriation bill to death with its 112,000,000 for the support of the Jndian service, while President Taft wrote his veto on the $115,000,000 to ~uke care o the "sundry civil defense" of the government. The house repassed the sundry civil j oill over the veto, but when it reached | ~he senate, Senator Poindexter ob-1 ;.ected to any appropriation for the Washington police force unless an investigation had be^n made of the rio?ous scenes atending the suffrage parade Monday and the senate did not get to a vote on the bill. Mr. Taft vetoed the sundry civil bill oecause of its provisions exempting .abor unions and farmer'* organizaxions from prosecution under tne antitrust jaw. Most of the appropriation -.vould not take effect until July 1, ( .nowever, and the new congress will be able to prepare appropriation measures by tnat time. The provision to which Mr. Tai't object-cu pruviueu tnat no iunus could ue spent in prosecution 01 organizations or inaiviuuais ior "entering into any comomauon or agreement naung in view tne increasing oi wages, suori ouiiig oi iiours or bettering ui-e conuiiions oi laoor, " or lor me prosecution oi' "producers oi lami products anu associations of farmers wIiq co-ope.at-e aua organize 10 ootain ana maiulain a fair and reasonable price lor '.ncir prouucts.

"tfuiity Pulls the .Strings'7 Coming.! There is one attraction soon to oe tein at the opera house which has been awaited with eager anticipation, .t is "Bunty Pulls the Strings", which is bringing everybody to its feet, wherever played. It conies to the opera house Friday, March 7, and if there is one vacant seat that ni^ht j ve miss our guess. "Bunty" is a great! jig hit, the biggest known in years, j You may as well see it now and you'll! be glad you went, for above all is the i I atmosphere of cleanliness that ob- i ":ains in the production. As the critic ! of the Xew York press well said: "Bunty is as fresh as a sprig of heather u,;id as pure as a breeze from ^och-Lomond". It is a breeze that Actus uiciiAUi ics iiianv a ucai u ? ix^ | mid-Victorian costumes?the crinoline particularly?and the locals of :he play provides a quaint setting for this picture of quaint liW and manners.

The whole story is told with untheatric simplicity in terms of unforced humor and interpreted by a special company t'.f inmnrteri nernrc flmrniurhlv iniTinprt vith the spirit of the author. "Bunty Pulls the Strings" is a play for those who like the really worth while in .-stage offerings. The attraction comes <mder the direction of the Messrs. :3bnbert and William A.

Below is given an outline of ihe program, which promises to be one of the most interesting and help-1 ful that has ever been held.

Swearingen is to ad- i I dr-ess the association, and following | ! his address there will be a live dis- j i cussion of some of the live educa-; tional problems of the State, giving opportunity for some of the educators of experience to discuss these. rFor Friday "evening there is a rare ' treat for those who attend when Prof. | W. K. Tate is to give an ilustrated lecture on the schools of Switzerland. , Following this will be an address by L. P. Hollis of Greenville, whose [work in the industrial Y. M. C.

Saturady I morning will be given over to an executive session, not simply the rou- j tine of electing officers but th^ laying of plans for making the association j more effective in its work.

CLAIMED COULD RESTORE LIFE 1! f Alletrod Religious Fanatic Savedk from Greenville Mob. i i Greenville, March 6.?L. F. Free, a * i white man said to be an itinerant! sign painter and alleged religious fa- j natic, was placed in jail tonight by; Sheriff Rector to save him from a mob j that had gathered in a suburban millj village, many in the gathering having: become incensed over the failure of j Frec's alleged claim to restore life to j an infant that died Monday. From what can be gathered of the I facts surrounding the affair it seems! that Free and another so-called "Holi- j ness" fanatic, claiming to have power I to work miracles, and having heard of j. the death of the infant of James Bal-!. lew, went to his home and told the j sorrowing mother and father that they ! ! could restore life to the child. The; ! parents, crusnea in gnei ana sawyea ; by pleadings of the two men, it is said allowed them to begin their gruesome work, which, it seems, consisted mainly in twisting and distorting the little lifeless body until the coroner toi night found it nothing more than a mass of bruised flesh. Officials will! probably take the case in hand tomor- i row. ADEE TO KEEP HIS JOB. i I Bryan to Reappoint Him 2d Assistsi nt Secretary of State. Washington.
