volution was carried on, fostered by a
press, both periodical and daily, that
knew nothing 6t the rules.
"Under this great parliamentary re
form,'.' he shouted, a winging hia gave).
there is no way to amend the rules,
except by a revolution. It must be
done on the "floor."
The finht resulted from a split in re
gular ranks over the construction" plac
ed upon the insurgent "motion to dis
charge committees" rule. !
"fiepresentativ Fuller (Repub'ican)
of Illionois, introduced a resolution
am nding the rule to prevent the "mo-
ion to discharge" calendar taking pre
cedence over 'suspension of the rules."
Mr. Mann (Republican), of Illinois,
made a point o order against Mr. Ful-
er. In an impassioned address, Mr. Ful
ler attacked Mr. Mann, He declared
that Mr. Mann had by placing 107 bills
on the "notion to discharge"calendar,
and cut off abf o'utely all chance for a
'suspansion -of the rules" at this ses
sion. . , .,.

case of frugality." . . ..
It is alleged that lack of proper nour-
Unmeet and hard work led to the young
man becoming mentally unbalanced.
Although he tiad over $1,000 in bank
and owned three houses, from which he
derived a good income, yet it is said
that he denied himself the food neces
sary to keep him in good health, and
that (his so wrakened hia system that
he finally became insane. , ,v "
For Several years he had wotked aa a
day laborer and sayjd. every penny he
received, denying himself all but the
barest necessities of life. He invested
his savings In real esi&te, and continu

was probably worth $15,000 when his

; 1IKELY SAYS
United States " Would , Give
Philippines to' Japan if She
WantTliein.
Washington, Jan. 11 War between
the United States and Japan over the
Philippine Islands is not likely, because
if Japan wants the islands" tj United
States would gladly give thenrto her,
according to Representative ' David J.
Foster, of Vermont, chairman of the
house committee on " foreign affairs.
Representative Foster made this de
claration last night in the course of an
address on "International Peace" be
fore tho Men's Clubof the Mount Plea
sant Congregational Church. He char
acterized the Philippines as a "lemon"
on the hands of the United.
"In five years a treaty for the set
tlement of international disputes will
be entered into by the United States,
Japan, France and England," said Mr.
Foster.
"These four nations, banded together
will be a means of completing the rest
of the world to follow their example.
The result will be an international court
for the indiciate settlement of internal
ional disputes, established at The Ha
gue, and world peace.
'I feel perfectly safe in making this
prediction. Past wars and rumors of
future wars are draining the great na
tions of the world. Over $2,090,000,0:10
is spent each year for armaments.
"I would like to refer to rumors of
war between the United States and
Japan. The possibility is remote. Ja
pan realizes that the Philippines are a
burden to us and would be to her. For
this reason she can have no designs in
that direction- Japan is not looking
for burdens." ..

Queer Way In Whioh the Glutton

Fights to the death are common be
tween sea urchins and starfish. Tbe
starfish when ready for buttle ' raiser
one of his arms toward the sea urchin.
rhe urchin shoots nut all bis bristling
sjilues, or needles, and, In addition to
bis always visible arms, brings out an
arm that la never seen' unless It la
needed for active use. This usually
invisible weapon. Is a sort of nipper,
edged with teeth! During one fight be
tween a sua urchin and a starfish the
starfish, with' a sudden movement,
broke off the pincers of the urchin.
The pincers remained Imbedded In
the flesh of the starfish. Finding bis
chief weapon gone, the urchin drove
all bis needles Into' tbe back of tbe
starfish, not all together, but one after
another, with aU tbe method of calcu
lated action. As the needles entered
the back of the starfish the starfish
broke them, -one by one. Tbe urchin,
rendered powerless by the loss of bis
needles, umde a few mechanical move
ments In self defense and then lay mo
tionless and powerless on the water
After a few minutes' hesitation and a
Jose scrutiny of hia subject the star
fish approached the urchin "mid pre
