LEADER JAMES R. MANN,
GUIDE AND CRITIC OF HOUSE
j (Washington Correspondence Seattle Cost
Intelligencer)
There is one figure in the house of rep
. resent at ives which the cupitol guides, tow
in«: their prey, delight to point out, and
i that is James it. Mann of Illinois, Repub
lican leader. Usually the visitors have
hoard a good deal about him and take a
lively interest in his personality and his
work.
Mr. Mann is a stanch oak that has wrath
ered the storm which swept tne Republican
a,iv i. Cannon, Ualzell and other leaders
have gom\ but Mann remains, alert, watch
ini and as callable as ever.
I’siialiy occupying an aisle seat on tne
Republican side of the house. Mr. Mann
does not impress the casual observer. I hey
see a pleasant elderly gentleman with short
gray whiskers and spectacles. He appears
not to be taking an interest in tilt* proceed
ings. Presently somebody from the other
side of the house attempts to slip something
by. Instantly Mr. Mann is on his feet.
“Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to ob
■(ei. 1 would like to know something about
this matter."
Then it is discovered that it is impossi
ble to -lip aynthmg over on Mr. Mann, and
he makes good his reputation of being the
guide, critic and mentor of the house. No
other man in that assemblage has so good
a memory or so thorough a knowledge of
parliament ary law.
Occasionally the house will get tangled
up on some question, and it is then that
everybody looks to Mr. Mann. He kn >ws
every precedent and presently lie is able to
pick the monkey wrench out of the ilia
chi: tv and the house proceeds in an or
derly v. ay with its business.
Mr. Mann is not an orator in the com
monly accepted sen.-e, although he speaks
i onvinOngly and he is on his feet speaking
■ f'ener than any other congressman. His
ianguaire i- pla’n, forceful, direct and Ire
oiicmly blunt. Occasionally he uses sar
casm biting that few members care to
have a tilt with him. Outside the chain -
b.T he is agable. genial and always ac
ce.-siblo.
I:i h:s oliicc m the basement ot the cap
: i !:«• decs most of In- work. One room is
>ci :rd by his secretary. Mrs. Florence A.
Domulhy. who has been his secretary for
twenty years, and two or three clerk.-. Ad

Asked i■> explain his -v<tem for kerning
a? hi.- lineers’ ends the vast fund of knowl
e<:i m ••.-t.ry In h"ld hi.- unique position.
Mr. Mann replied:
By availing my.-i If of the sources of
information at hand. Few people, even in
- >m.rvs. realise the amouht of informa;ion
that can be obtained from a careful read
me of public document.-. i have rhe.-e
public adwns sent to me and I look over
tli*::: a'ld read what is necessary for me
to read."
dime after time it has been de.-ton-'■ ate.i
ti o Mr. Mann read.- and sf.die- **very
I bill than pas.-i < cither hou-e. I: may be
a mutter i 1 which there : i.tth* general
int and the member- of congress have
m,mumd it to go forward without close
sen;’.ay. Not . . with Mr. Mann, however
At the proper moment he will ri •< and he
diet .-imply ii• • • u the opposition.
(';w thing vd.u.ii is htloful Mr M um
; his wonderful u.cmory. During the clos
ing bus of the special session the Demo
•rats proposed a concurrent resolution pro
\ hug for action to be taken by the new
emigre-.-. In the discussion of the ques
: a n .Vt. Mann was. oppu.ed to Oscar L’n
i rw-'od, the Democratic leader. Mr. I’n
. "••■ «K,d cited a precedent of the Fifty
•■When the special session to which the
* a'Tman refer-.” said Mr. Mann, ‘was
all »d by President Roosevelt to mevt in
November, the house on the Saturday pre
■ -ling adjourned. The senate adjourned to
... a . on the billowing M inlay at 11 o’clock
■ r 13 .12, 1 bi-lieve, and then they ad
‘1: hit- !;een some years age." said Mr.
Tuber..’" -1. “and of course one’s memory
\ . . ie>t carry everything, but my reeollce
.io:i is that ai the termination of that ses
.-iori of e,ingress me wet in the morning of
j the fir.-t Monday in December.”
“Well, the gentleman’s memory i. incor
rect, and if 1 were he I would not proceed
| further on that line.” said Mr. Mann. ‘‘We
' met on Saturday. The house adjourned on
Saturday without passing any concurrent
‘resolution.”
To settle the point an examination of
the record was made and it was found that
Mr. Mann had correctly stated what oc
curred at that special session of congress.
Mr. Mann’s skill is seen best when he cx
| poses false argument or clips the feathers
i on high-living and meaningless oratory. The
demagogue leads a hard life if he attempts
to perform in the house. Then the playful
, habit < f Mr. Mann rebuking the practice
of certain members of getting permission
! to extend their remarks and using the op
; port unity to sprinkle their speeches with
bracketed applause is embarrassing. He
i reads the record in the morning, and if
; there ;• an error he is certain to catch it.
In debate Mr. Mann gives and takes
: stout blows. When an adversary scores
I he is never ruffled. He is never bothered
I by criticism or by newspaper attacks. In
I one way and another the newspapers have
said many unkind things about him, but
he cares not one whit about it. \\ ork
done well is his principal aim in life, and
if he is satisfied in his own conscience the
Wind of criticism may blow itself out with
out affecting him in the least.
Mis biography i.'i the congressional uirec
torv, in which there are several elaborate
biographies, is characteristic of him. It
says simply this:
“.James R. Mann, Republican, of Chi
cago, was born in lXmh was educated in
the public chools, is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Illinois and of the Union Col
lege of Law in Chicago; was elected to the
Fifty fifth and each succeeding emigres . re
elected to the Sixty third congress. '
A BURNS CELEBRATION
IN THE NORTHERN WILDS
Pot ails of celebrations of the birthday of
Bobcrt Burns in many places have been
set forth annually for many years, bui no
greater example of the far-reaching fame;
of th*' Scottish poet has emtio to light than
the story of his birthday in BUd in far-off
Athabasca Landing. The story is told by
A. J. Willetts, an inventor from Camden.
N. .L. who is stopping at the 1 rye an l who
was a party to the celebration in Athabasca
in the winter of 1013, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
“The ti.wn is made up of few white men.
mostly Scotch. Indian , half-breeds and a
colony of colored pc..: I ■. Mr. Will Its -aid.
“1 here is probably not a wilder community
anywhere on the .American continent. There
is an alleged railroad running in from Kd
nionton. and at that time there was one
train a week in there. The first thing 1
discovered when 1 got on the tram at Fd
monton was that heat was not one <>i the
luxuries provided. It was fitly four out
side and a tritle colder in the train, every
body .-at wrapped in their furs, taking turns
in the use of the little aide to promenade
and warm up. It i~ only 100 miles to
Athabasca, but we wore thirteen hour- in
making the trip. When l alighted from
the train I was convinced that I was iar
iher north than any exj lorer had ever gone.
What a town! A few houses, two hotels,
huts. Indians, half breeds, colored men witn
feet wrapped in sacks, and a few .Scotch
men and Frenchmen, togged out in furs
till they looked like groin, hairy animals
, walking on two lags. There was hea: in
but one room in the hotel. I dept with
all my clothes on. and when I awoke in
the no ruing the entire room inside was e.,\
cred with an inch of heavy frost.
“I broke the ice in the pitcher to wadi
and then hurried t * the b:;r* romn. t1 . n!y

who could not help but talk with the proper
brogue, and Frenchmen who could at least
tglk Scotch dialect as well as they could
Talk English.
‘ And the toasts of the Frenchmen were
as enthusiastic and .Aaeere as any of the
others, believe me.
“Burns is near to being a religion in that
lonely wilderness, settled, such as it is,
chietiy by Scotchmen whose only real link
with their homeland is a book of his poems.
And they have taught him to the people
with whom they came in contact until
Burns and his works are familiar to In
dians, half-breeds and all the nondescript
riff-raff that so surely go into the composi
tion of the far frontier wherever it may be.
“And then when we had sung 'Auld Lang
Syne’ and ‘Coinin’ Thro’ the Rye,’ and other
old Scotch songs until our throats were
sore, an old Scotchman arose and began
to recite Burns’ works. Say. that fellow
had been in that wilderness for over twenty
years, and in all that time he had never
made but two trips out into civilization; he
was a wild-looking savage and rough in his
conversation, but how he could recite
Burns! For three solid hours he recited
and there wasn’t an interruption in all that
time. I have never heard Burns’ poetry
recited with such effect. 1 thought at the
time that if someone could just tame the
old savage and put him on the vaudeville
circuit in a somewhat abbreviated form,
' what a hit he would make.”

VILLA. MEXICAN “HERO,” !
IS “HALF DEVIL, HALF CUR”
Ni York. Jan. 15. ‘Villa,’ said the
man who has just returned from Mexico.
:‘is half devil and half cur. He is the most
unspeakable wretch that ever straddled a
horse, but he doesn’t expose himself to dan
ger if he can keep out of :t. I suppose
he has killed as many men with his own
hands as any other man in Mexico. I doubt
if half a dozen were given the chance to,
Minot back.”
The speaker was one of the wealthiest)
mine owners in Mexico. He has spent his |
life in Spanish-American countries, and the j
last ten years in Mexico. Not many weeks !
ago his mine superintendent was called1
out of his house one day by Mexicans who j
were personally known to him —and sup
posed to be friendly toward him -and .‘.hot
down without a \v« rd of explanation. His j
Mill I ever fought his v. ay to the border with
the murdered man’s wife and children.
•■‘The bandbs,” said he, “outnumbered
the men in our escort. But most of our
mi n .•' r Americans, and they would fight. I
A Ivli xican bandit is unable to s“e any
i r. lit in getting shot. He will always i
avidd a tb.ht in which he has a chance'
to ge- licked.”
\ ilia is cut from the came card, accord
ing lo the mine owner.
‘‘My fru nds in New York.” said he, “seem j
to think that Villa is a sort of leader of j
: r .e 1 :r Imrse a semi-recognized guerrilla
( ::-i. .In. 'i 1 :€ y do m.t km w that he is a
mumk.er and thief -and far worse.”
A Cruel Murderer
He told of one occa.d n in the early days,
f the o-re.M-nt ii .nreetion in Mexico when j
Villa captured twenty men of a band that
had been badgering him. He condemned I
them to de. h in the mud way, never both- i
ering with c< nt mar!id.- or other flubdub-<
‘cry. Then lie designated him -elf as tin
'■xrediii ner i.i hi- own degree. He had ill'
:n‘-n bound. 1; u.ds behind back., but with!
eyes ur.bandagt d.
“This will seem impossible to you.’ said:
mine owner, “but V.lla walked down j
;’n:.{ line of men, revolver in hand. Fr; m j
• to time he shot a man through the |
In. art. and iod by him until tin' victim !
kinked his la-t kick. lie taunted lim
bo oral men.
“ I want vou to enjoy this, as I do,’ he
; Id them. Those who gave way to terror
he put aside, to be shot last of all. In that
way they .-avored to the last twinge the;
full agony of their position. Then he killed j
them, fairly licking his lips as he did so.”
There was another story of Villa's gar
rot ing half a dozen men one day. For
some reason he did not want to shoot. He !
dipped a sin ri loop over the head of each
man, thrust a siick through it and twisted.
As the victim gasped for breath he let up
on the pressure, so that the death agonies
might be as sweetly prolonged as possible.
An eye-witness told the mine owner of this;
series.
“When they were all dead," said the wit
ness, ‘‘Viila was so tired he slept like a
babe.”
A Merciless Robber
“For years,” said the man from Mexico, i
"Villa has made a practice of robbing iso
lated ranchos or little towns. First he!
killed every man he could find, both be
cause he liked to kill and because he car
ries caution to an absurd excess. Then he
took the women, lie led his men in the!
excesses that followed.
"For twenty years Villa has been a ban-;
dit. In that time he has never exposed I
himself willingly to bullet or knife. I do i
not say that the man is a coward. I merely I
declare that fair play, as Anglo-Saxons un-;
derstand it, is folly to Mexicans. They hate!
and fear Villa, but it has never occurred to j
them that he was anything but superla-1
tivelv sane in lying behind a rock when i
lie shot down his man, or in approaching !
a man with a smile, only to thrust a knife |
through him when his back \Vas safely j
turned. They do things differently in these |
Latinized countries. We have a little of;
that spirit in our southern mountains, J
where feuds are decided from behind trees. |
There is more of it in New York streets, j
where gunmen, for the most part of Latin i
blood—shoot at each others backs with true !
Latin hysteria of aim.”
A Rrh’n sr-rf . t a ffqg
peatedly told that he became a bandit |
because an army officer insulted his sister
whereupon Villa shot the rascal down on
the street and took to the hill-.
“This is puerile nonsense,” said the man
from Mexico. ‘'Villa’s or became the
mi-tress of an army officer with the full
consent and approbation of Villa himself
and all concerned. As a matter of fact, the
Villa famil v rd on the < al
road through the left-handed connection. A,
! n >\vl !::•• of Mex m affairs i requi
appreciate the advantage the Villas made
through it.”
Shot From Behind
Vilia was on borrowing terms with the
officer until his credit was cut off. When
he threatened, the officer promised him a
wh ; ping if he offend* 1 a tin. VVh ‘re ij on
Villa laid in wait for him, .-hot him from
behind on the .-trect. robbed the body of
money and ornaments, and took to tlie
brush. > > much for the romance of the
bandit's . lory.
“Vila is an able man,” said the sneaker.
‘ tie kept at liberty for thirty years, dur
ing most of which time a price was on his
head. He knows the desert an 1 moun
tain country better than you do the line.?
i 11 your hand, and he has a certain quality
of 1 ivaliy not common among Mexican I -ad
ers. His men knew that if they were cap
turn,! by the police or soldier- Villa would
re.*cue them it he could. If he could not
lie would have revenge for them. His re
vengel were so bloody and cruel that to
ward the last he was little interfered with
by the regular forces. One of Madero's mis
take.- was in recognizing the man. And vet
he remained true to Madero as better men
did not. He is a fairly good general and
has nut imposed too oner -us restriction-;
upon his men. who are for the mo*; part
mere land pirativ. It is not likely that
Chihuahua or any other large town will
he looted by him, because of the effect upon
his standing with the United States. Rut
later on you will hear that lie has carried
lire and .-word to the l.-nriy countryside,
hi very man who had money before the war
began has been made to give it up if Villa
found him.”
AliiA £JPIU AM ALE 1 HuSIA
PRACTICED BY SPECIALIST
Har'.hrd, ('■inn. In the presence
of twenty-four prominent surgeons of
this city. I)r. William It Fitzgerald, an
ear and throat spc* ia’ist of Hartford, who
formerly practiced in N a York city, deni
i nslrated a new anaesthesia at St. Francis’
hospit;:!.
Instead of using drugs or gas. Dr. Fitz
gerald applies pressure to the nerves. He
had used the method occasionally in his
private practice with satisfactory results,
but has only just developed it to a point
where ho would use it in general hospital
practice.
The method of anaesthesia practiced by
Dr. Fitzgerald is based on the known fact
that there are areas in the nose, throat and
mouth that are highly sensitive, and which
contain delicate and intricate nerve sources.
It was by study of the zones that Dr. Fitz
gerald worked out his discovery, the method
of applying which he demonstrated in so
startling a way at the clinic.
The physician selected several patirnts as
subjects for his tests. In one case he
anaesthetized the hand of a woman so
that pins were thrust into the flesh in
several places, and she felt not the slightest
pain, though fully conscious.
In another case a foot was anaesthetized
and fifteen incisions made without the
slightest pain. Two teeth were painlessly
extracted.
In still another case, after producing an
anaesthetized condition, the physician punc
tured a subject’s ear drum without any sen
sation of pain. The puncturing of an car
drum is generally regarded as one of the
most painful of operations.
Another test was even more startling.
After producing a condition of anaesthctiza
tion the physician removed a foreign ob
Gafe
Best Meals for the Money
ject from the subject’s eye. and then, to the.
amazement of his watchers, drew a scalpel
lightly across the patient's eye. In this
case, as in the other.", the patient sutured
not the .lightest sensation of pain.
This demonstration by Dr. Fitzgerald
was a sequel to ono which he ga\ ■ at the
hospital two weeks ago, in which he showed
the preliminary steps in the use of lie*,
meth-.d.
By pre-sures on the neck the phy.' iaan
produc "1 sensations in various parts of the.
body and demonstrated that acute pain in
any lion may be relieved quickly by
mere | rcssure.
There are several advantages to be
gained by the use of reflex anaesthesia as
demons rated. In the first place the use
of dangerous anaesthetics like ether is
avoided. In spite of the general use of
other, its administration is still accompa
niod by danger, except in the hand" of an
expert. It is sometimes said deaths were
cau.'od by operations when a stricter strife©
merit of the truth would be that they were
due to the anaesthesia.
This clanger i> avoided when a method
of anaesthesia is used which '’avoids all
use of drugs or gases.
In the case of minor operations, such a*
the removal of splinters, the use of th*»
local anaesthesia avoids the necessity for
administering ether, which requires twenty
minutes or more, though the actual opera
tion can be p rimmed in thirty second*.
Dr. Fitzgerald is a native of Middletown,
and is recognized as a leading specialist < f
the state in treatment of the no.-'* and
