The mean temperature for the week was slightly above, normal for the same period. There were numerous complaints of too cool nights early in the week* but the night temperatures were more fav orable during the last four days. The week's rainfall was very light and confined to the northern and southwestern border counties, ami it was not general even in those sec tions. The amounts varied from a trace of rain to 0.80 of an inch the latter at Allendale, Barnwell County.

As lie had been responsi ble for introducing the subject which had caused the attack on Mr. Chand ler lie felt under obligations to place him right on the record. To that end he read the o^-Senntor's statement. The Work in the House. The House decided to vest in the Supreme Court of the District of Co lumbia the power to appoint the board otj education having supervision of the schools of Washington instead of in the board of district commissioners which is the present apoiuting power. KlTorts were made to prevent the pre paration of plans for the Great Lakes naval training station, but an amend ment was agreed to providing for the employment of a consulting architect the plans and superintendence of the construction of the hew buildings not to exceed d l-'2 per cent, of the limit of eost of the plant which is Hxed at I wo millions.

Practically the entire day was de voted Nj the consideration of the anti pass intendment which was adopted aft^r making so many exceptions as to arouse laughter in the Senate every time the provision was read. The work of the Senate as such was eon lined to the partial considera tion of the pipe line provision, which Morgan proviso extending its ope ra tion i<> other count tics where the Unit ed States had jurisdiction. There was a sharp eolloqucy be tween Senators Daniel and Tillman over an amendment to the anti-pass provision. Senator Daniel sought to have the anti-pass amend tnoi t so amended as to include the families of attorneys among those who may receive passes and Senator Tillman said that Mr. \ Daniel's amendment would make the provision a laughing stock and sug gested that Mr. Daniel should with draw his amendment so that "we can get to something else."
