OUSE REfUSES
10 EEI SENATE
RESCIND ACTION
Adoption of Resolution Com-
pels Senate to Let Confer-
ence Committee Stand.
HOUSE MEMBERS NAMED
Body Then Begins Killing Rest
of Bills on Its Calendar
By Postponing.
Special Dispatch.
Austin Tex.. Sept. 7.—The house
this morning refused to recognize the
right of the senate to rescind its action
in appointing a free conference com-
mittee on the penitentiary bill and by
adopting the motion of Vaughan stoo l
“pat” in its appointment of a free
conference committee refusing to re-
ceive the penitentiary bill as amended
by the senate yesterday.
When the bill w’hich was amended
again by the senate yesterday substi-
tuting the senate bill reached the
house Vaughan sent up a motion that
the house not concur in the senate’s ac-
tion and requesting the senate to ap-
point a free conference committee. A
long wrangle followed Davis favoring
simply non-concurrence. Looney ex-
plained that by the adoption of the
Vaughan motion the house would say
that the amendment of the senate bill
by’ the senate was an anomaly and re-
fuse to recognize the right of the sen-
ate to so act.
Speaker Marshall gave his opinion
that the bill was never properly be-
fore the senate after a conference com-
mittee was appointed and the joint
ruies must prevail over the senate
rules. He said the house should pre-
serve its self-respect by refusing to con-
cur in the senate's action and overruled
the motion of Davis. Vaughan’s mo-
tion was then adopted and the house
free conference committee as already
appointed stands.
Shortly afterward the house began
killing the rest of the bills on the cal-
endar. The bill providing for the
working of short term convicts on the
roads was postponed to December 1 and
the Stamps bill providing for a civil
service commission to examine applica-
tions for places as guards was post-
poned to January 17. The bill creating
probationary juries was postponed in-
definitely.
Yantis attempted to have a vote by
which the resolution endorsing the dis-
franchisement of negroes was postpon-
ed reconsidered but was voted down.
House bill 18 for working short term
convicts on the public roads was post-
poned indefinitely after which the
house penitentiary bill was finally
passed 74 to 18.
The house then stood at ease subject
to call.
When the senate was notified of the
action of the house on the penitentiary
b- 1 the lieutenant governor held that
the proper thing would be to appoint a
committee to meet with the house com-
mittee and straighten out the tangle.
The senate finally settled the matter by
appointing seven members which con-
stituted the original penitentiary com-
mittee that drew the reform bill and
requested the house to also appoint its
original committee to get together on
the bill. When the house was notified
on motion of Vaughan this request was
acceded to and shortly after the house
recessed to 3 o’clock.

All New York Gaped at
and Wondered About a
Common Everyday Kite
Mysterious “Airship” With Its Starboard and
Port Signal'lights Which Startled Gotham is
Found to Be Only a Kite With Lanterns.
New York Sept. 7. —The mystery of
the aerial visitor carrying red and
green lights which circled over Madi-
son Square park two nights collecting
crowds of thousands of people auu
startling the eity generally has been
explained. The alleged airship was
only a kite operated by Oliver Cham-
pion of St. Louis who is on a visit
here. Champion made a 6-foot kite for
his 6-year-old son Vaughn and Tues
day night he went up on the roof of
the five-story apartment house where
be is living and let the kite out to the
pnd of 3000 feet of cord. That night
the kite had two green Japanese lan-
terns and one red one with lighted
candles inside of them strung along
tha tail. One of the green lights went
out before the big kite had soared far
and there remained the “port and
starboard lamps” of this silent heav-
enly go-cart to wink down at the big
crowd which clustered open-mouthed
before the white shaft of the Metropol-
itan tower.
Lights on Its Tail.
The two lanterns went out before
Champion reeled the kite to the roof.
That accounted for the “mysterious
disappearance of the flying wonder.”
Then on Wednesday Champion and an-
other unwitting creator of mystery
Caleb Bennett who lives in the same
house with the Champions and had
helped to fly the kite the night before
read in the papers of the excitement
they had created. They laughed and

boy Vaughn betook themselves to the

after darkness had descended. They
carried with them the kite “Cross-
eyed Moloney” so named because of
the disparity between the cast of the
eyes which 'champion had painted into
the face he sketched on the front of
the kite. Only one red and one green
Japanese lantern were attached to the
tail this time.

Then when tho fresh wind eame zip-
ping over the roof from the southeast
the kite was let go. It went up with
a rush and before fifteen minutes pass-
ed all of thq 3000 feet of eord was out.
There was a changing wind on Wednes-
day night. . Sometimes it blew from
the southeast sometimes from the
southwest. The kite cut big arcs in
the sky at the end of its laash now
swinging over Third avenge now
teetering across the eloud rack almost
to the tower of the Metropolitan build-

The kite had gone up a few minutes
after 8 o’clock. It had been in the ah
an hour when a sudden gust of wind
from the south snapped the string
somewhere off in the darkness and the
two lights slid down a long curve in
the sky directly to the north seeming-
ly over Third or Lexington avenues.
This explained “the departure to tho
north.” Champion had scratched his
name and address on the face of the
kite against just such a contingency.
He was hoping that somebody would
find the kite. But nobody has done
so yet.

o»u MALARIA
Malaria is a species of blood poverty khown as Anaemia; it is t
condition m which the circulation is so weak and impure that it is un-
able to supply the system with sufficient nourishment and strength to
preserve ordinary health.
The real source of malarial infection is a question about which
medical authorities differ. Some take the position that it is an atmos-
pheric poison the germs of which are breathed into the lungs and thus
transmitted to the circulation. Others advance the theory that persons
become inoculated with the poison through the bites of mosquitos.
While the profession differ about the actual method of malarial infection
they all agree that Malaria is a BLOOD DISEASE and any treatment
to successfully overcome its effects must PURIFY THE BLOOD.
When the germs of Malaria get into the circulation the /lutritive
properties of the blood are weakened the rich red corpuscles being
gradually destroyed by the malarial poison. Then the symptoms of
the disease begin to be manifest. In the first stades of Malaria the
complexion becomes pale and sallow the/appetite is affected the sys-
tem grows bilious there is a general reeling of lassitude and weak-
ness. Malaria is an insidious
poison and it gradually attacks
other portions of the system
and if the germs are allowed to
remain in the blood they some-
times give rise to serious dis-
eases and disorders. As the
circulation becomes more thor-
oughly saturated with the mala-
rial infection the digestion is
deranged chills and fever come
and go skin diseases boils
sores and ulcers etc. break out
on the body and after awhile
the entire health becomes im-
paired.
Malaria can only be cured by
removing the germs from the
blood. Purging the liver and
bowels with strong nauseating
cathartics can never reach the
real seat of the trouble because
such things do not affect the
circulation. S. S. S. searches
out and destroys every particle
of malarial infection and builds
up the blood to a healthy nour-
ishing condition. Then the sys-
tem receives its required amount of nutriment the bright red corpus-
cles begin to multiply in the circulation sallow complexions grow
ruddy and healthful the liver and digestion are righted the appetite
improved and the system vitalized and refreshed in every way.
S. S. S. is a safe and pleasant remedy as well as an efficient one.
Write for free book on the blood and any medical advice desired no
charge for either. THILSWIFT SPECIFIC CO. ATLANTA GA.

FOISONED BT THE GERMS OF MALARIA.
I began using your S. S. S. probably
ten years ago for Malaria and blood
troubles and it proved so good at that
time that I have continued ever since
usinj it as a family remedy. Recently
one of my children was troubled with
large painful boils on the back of his
neck; after suffering with these for
several months we tried S. S. S. and
am glad to state that a few bottles cured
him entirely. It is a pleasure for me
to recommend S. S. S. for the benefit
of others who are needing a first rate
blood purifier tonic and sure cure tor
Malaria. C. C. HEMINGWAY

NO REUEF UNTIL S. 1. S. WAS TAKEN.
I had a horrible attack of boils that
broke out all over my body from Ma-
laria and from which I could get no
possible relief until I began taking
your medicine and from my experi-
ence I can safely say that S. S. S. is
the best blood purifier in the world.
