HOUSE VOTES MONEY
A Pennsylvania Member Re-
ports Disappointing Results
in an Attempt to Popularize
Himself with the Voters
' Washington, Jan. 30. When th?
Jlouse met today Mr. Taylor of Ohio,
thairniau of the Committee on Elec
tions No. 1, submitted the report on the
contested election case of .Walker vs.
: TChea from the Ninth Virginia district.
The committee found that, while gross
frauds and irregularities occurred in the
i lection, "they fell very far short'' of
changing the result. , The ' committee
ihcreloi-o recommended thaj: Mr, Rhea
t lit. -.'sitting member, tyho is a Democrat,
phould retain his seat. Messrs. Linney
f.f North Carolina and . Samuel Daren
wrt of Pennsylvania dissented from the
conuclusion of, the majority and were
given leave to file their views. The re
port will be called up in the Bear fu
ture. ' t
The House then resumed the consid-c-ration
of the Agricultural Appropria
tion bill.
The sections of the present law relat
ing, to the scientific bureaus of the de
partment were substituted for the pro
visions in the bill which wlnt out yester
day on a point of order Voiiade by Mr.
Malum of i'eiuisylvania.
Mr. Latimer of .South Girolina offered
nn amendment to increase the appropri
ations for farmers' bulletins to $50,000.'
Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania declared
that the increased dissemination of far
mers' bulletins would not do the far
mers any good, lie declared that mom
liers diired to distribute these bullttins
to make themselves popular with the
farmers. They thought it was a good
political move. lie had thought so him-
self at one time, and had tried it.
put it to the test," he said. "I sent a
pnhlie document to every registered vo
ter in two counties in my district. me
result whs that I ran behind in every
voting precinct in each of them and ran
ahead in every precinct to which I did
not send documents." (Laughter, y
"Perhaps where you distributed tha
most information you ran-worst, sug.
gcste.il Mr. Lacey of Iowa, sententiously.
"That is possible," replied Mr. Ma-
-hon. dryly.
Air. TaJbert of South Caroh'n a' and
Mr. Shackelford of Missouri supported
the amendment. Both asserted that the
'fanners' bulletins were of great value.
The latter said that one bulletin on the
prevention of mildew ou grapes had
saved the grape growers of his district
ll.oiisands of dollars. ' Give the farmers
n chance.'' said he.
Mr. Mahon made an impassioned re
ply. IJe inveighed against the alleged
friends of The farmers who were al
ways howling against railroads and pra
ting of their friendship for the farmers.
The farmers of Pennsylvania, he said,
were the bone and sinew of his State
and knew more about agriculture in an
hour than those people over there at the
department. The secret of the prosper
ity of the farmers of his State was that
in the neighborhood of every city and
tmvn there was a manufacturing plant
which afforded the lrest market for
their products which the world possessed
He represented the farmers and he de
clared that they did not lesire extrava
gant appropriations for the Agricultural
. Department or the indiscriminate distri
bution of the "stuff printed about agri
culture" by that department.
"Are you in favor of appropriating
frTSO.000 for experiments?"', asked Mr.
Latimer.
"No."
"Why don't you fight it thenY
' 'I have been doing so."
"I am with you," obbserved Mr. Lati
fcner. ,
, Mr. Shackelford then replied to Mr.
Mahon. referring sarcastically to his
economical ideas on the subject of ap
propriations for the Agricultural De
partment while he pleaded for the pay
ment of big claims for the downtrodden
"Cramp Ship -Building' Company. ife
upoke of Pennsylvania as a trust-ndden
State and said that whenever a man
J'rom the wild AVest .chammpione'd the
1 armors' cause he was denominated a
''Populist.'3
Mr. King of Utah protested against
the growing paternalism of the govern
ment especially as exemplified in the op
rrations of the Agricultural Department
end drew the shafts of" the wit of Mr.
.Talbert, who., said that whenever any
member rose to advocate something for
the benefit of the farmers, "some bushy
lieaded statesman was always ready to
suggest constitutional limitations."
To the paragraph making provision for
4he agricultural colleges of the States
f r. Landis of Indiana, offered an"
iimendment, that none of it" be availa-.
Me - for the college in Utah until the
Secretary of Agriculture lx satisfied thf.t
none of the trustees, officers, teachers or
employes are engaged in polygamy or
polygamous practices. The amendinc-nt
y-QK agreed to.
There was another somewhat prolong
ed debate upon the proposition to ap
propriate $170,000 for the purchase and
distribution Of seeds. Motions to re
quire the deparment to purchase new
jiud valuable seeds, o increase the ap
propriation to $270,000 and to strike out
the item were -defeated, the latter 37

has declared that a new ferry is a, pub
lic necessity. This bill is drawn in the
interest of a private enterprise! and can
i.ot benefit the people of North Carolina.
We should not let our friendship influ
ence us in deciding upon this matter.
Mr. Green of Wilkes: "I too am a
Democrat. The remarks of my friend
is based on the assumption that the fer
ry is a monopoly. A committee of these
two houses heard this entire case in de
tail and I don't believe the membeis
would have brought in here a unanimous
report in favor of monopoly. Th? gentleman-
from Pasquotank is a Demo
crat and I for one proposa to stand by
a Democrat. Mr. Nash knows his p:o
plv'and he alone is responsible to them."
Mr. Blount: "If this bill passes it
will create a monopoly. There is no
other ferry on this river. The Legisla
ture is asked to establish a monopoly
which may get some citizen in jail be
cause forsooth he cannot get to court. I
sav this bill does to some extent shut
the doors on one of the best and most
progressive, towns in North. Carolina.
Mr. Owens of Tyrrell: "I have known
Lamb's ferry for years and if it is not
a monopoly i do not .know" what a mo
nopoly is. ' The Speaker declared that
the ferry did not furnish adequate ser
vice. Mr. Baldwin of Forsyth, said h- was
at first disposed to favor the bill, but
alter, hea ring what Mr. Owens and oth
ers said he was opposed to it. He de
clared tliat life gentleman from Camden
and adjacent counties were intne.-ted
equally as much as the i;entlenian fio:n
Pasquotank. "I believe this bill civates
a monopoly," Mr. Baldwin declared, and
I am going to vote against any such
measure.
Mr, Patterson said he did not, regard
the bill as creating a monop'oly. He
said that the conditions existing th iv
wtre peculiar. He stated that one .rea
son for opposition to the new terry was
that it would seriously interfere with
navigation.
Mr. Blount: "May I ask a question?"
Mr. Patterson: "Yes." ,
Mj Blount: "Didn't Judge Clark say
in an opinion from the Supreme Court
that this was a monopoly"'
Mr.. Patterson: "What Judge Clark
might say about an enterprise being a
monopoly would not make it a monoply."
Mr. Patterson stated that the joint
committee had gone into this matter ful
ly and while the committee had not
given its reasons for making a unani
mous report in favor of the bill it would
not have taken such action' without good
reasons. The speaker said that the d
ltat of this bill would do Mr. Lamb
wrcparaDie injury.
Judge Connor said no invariable nil?
could be laid down defining a monopoly.
Ht said he did not believe the Supreme
Court had - undertaken to declare this
ferry a monopoly. He stated that there
being so- much confusion and uncertain
ty tis to this measure there was only one,
safe thing to do, ami that was to accept
the report of tfie joint committee, which
had considered the measure carefully.
The call for the previous question was
made by Mr; ('raig, and upon motion
of Mr. Owens an aye and "nay vot? was
ordered. . The bill passed its second
reading by a vote of 50 to .'371 Mr. Kob
inson of Anson, objected when th? b ll
came up on its third reading.
There was much explaining of vot-s.
Messrs. Curtis, Daiight ridge. Iuls. Law
rence, MacKethan. Morgan. Robinson or"
Anson. Shanuonhouse, Smith, White of
Halifax and , Zachary explained their
votes. (
Mr. Robinson declared that the bill
was contrary to the Democratic plat
form. State and national, and contrary
also to the decisions of the highest court
in the State and for that reason he voted
no.
DEES AWARDED THE SEAT
The Content from Pamlico-Other Jla-
ter in the House
Mr. George Dees, the sitting member
of the House from Pamlico, obtained
a victory yesterday in the contest for his
seat brought by Mr. Cowell, the Populist
contestant. ; - . - . .
The majority report in favor of Mr.
Dees w as adopted by a vote of 71 to 10.

debate. ' In speaking to the majority re
port Mil. Shanuonhouse said "the -ballots
east at Barboro were proper! v thrown
out because there was. an abundance of
evidence showing that the hal! of tinv

Mr. Blythe 'of Henderson. Republican'.
opposed the majority report. He was
followed by Mr: Lawrence of Hertford,
who concluded the arirumenr Afr T
rence said the contest resolved itself in
