is the name given it by those who are

to it. 1t is disgraceful that such q
state of affairs exists here, but il
cannot be overlooked, and if the au-

A Quarrel Among n Mixed Family
Leads TO n Mysterious Murder.
Special to the Globe.
VERoQUA, Wis. March ia week
ago Mrs. Mathflda Neville, a resident of
Rockton, in this county, was lodged in jail
here on a charge of numbering her brother
in-law, Levi MELVILLE. Since that time the
sheriff and his force have been at work on
the case, and Saturday arrested Ransom,
William and ZachaTiah Bass, brothers of
Mrs. MELVILLE, on suspicion that they are
accessory to the crime, and they are now
in Jail. 1t appears that two of the
brothers were at the house of Mrs.
Newvill, and were up stairs at the time
when Levi MELVILLE. in company with the
Bass brothers, came 10 the house. The
nature of the wound in the head shows
that the shooting must have been from
above, and it is believed the shot was fired
by one of the men up stairs. 4 man
living about fifteen rods from the Newville
house, saw MELVILLE and the Bass
who accompanied him when they
entered the house, and in a very few
minutes afterward heard the shot. One of
the Bass boys came running over and told
him Mrs. MELVILLE had shot Levi. They
are disreputable set, and the opinion i'm
the community is that the killing was
planned bY the four persons. No motive
for the deed appears as yet other than of
i'll feeling between the persons from time
to time, though nothing of a serious nature
is known. The affair is involved in consider
able mystery and an earnest effort will be
made to solve it. The Bass family are
colored people and the Newvilles white.

some discussion plan was proposed and
finally adopted, which is new and dis
tnctive in this organization. a
committee known rs a status committee
was appointed that shall act as perma-

of this nature. The committee was made

who may not, within the strictly technical
definition, be considered an amateur. This
was thought advisable from the fact that
there are many cases where oarsmen are
almost on the dividing line. being by assO-
citation rules construed to the letter not
professionals. and yet who are hardly with
IN the definition of amateurs. Accordingly
the status committee was given power To
interpret the definition of the word

the technical definition ne or il might be
entitled To be claSSed as an amateur" 1t

". ii. Lightner OF the Minnesota club, and
w. Z. Bramhall of the ST. Paul club. The
organization resolved that membership
should be limited tc clubs composed of
gentlemanly members. The business of
the session was completed, but the Winni-
peg men will not leave the city until this
evening, probably.

ROGERS ON THE STAND.
He Tells why Prominent Mem Were
Given Pan-Electric stock.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The telephone
investigation case was resumed to-day. I.
Harris Rogers testified concerning meet
ing of number OF interested gentlemen
concerning the plans of the company. He
related how various congressman were
anxious TO get in ION the ground floor. {"
but could not recall their names. He said
that in an enterprise, whose success de-
pended upon the future, it was necessary
to secure the cooperation of men of ma
tiOnal prominence i'm order to secure conf
dence. That was the reason why they
wanted congressman and senators
in the company. He told how
he had tried TO secure the position
of house electrician and how Senators
Harris and Garland had assisted him. He
believed the position would benefit the Pan
electric company. The witness was then
questioned by Mr.. Oates as to the date of
the interview in which Mr.. Young stated
that Attorney General Garland had PROM
ised TO bring suit. Witness fixed the date
some time early in July. The second in
terview with Young was in the latter part
of July. Witness reiterated the statement
as to YOung's language OH the occasion.
1t was during the first interview that
Young said that as Garland was attorney
for the Pan-Electric he felt a delicacy about
bringing the suit, and that it would be
brought by GoOde. Witness was deeply
impressed By this, and remembered the
conversation nearly word by word. The
question of new legislation by congress was
never broached by any of his associates.
The Chairman-''Did YOU assign your
associates an interest because of the official
positions they held, or because of their
standing as lawyers and because you ex-
pected to be benefited by their Services?"
WitneSS-''There were three reasons.
One reason was that they held official posi-
tiOns and from the fact that they were
widely known. The second reason was
because they were lawyers. The third
reason, last but not least, was because we
had known most of them for many years.
and we were satisfied they would conduct
everything on an honorable basis. We
wanted none but such men associated with
us" At this moment the committee went
into secret session with the understanding
that the examination of the witness will be
renewed on Wednesday.

from Mr.. Benjamin Wilson of West Virginia
counsel for the government on the general
question of the liability of the United States

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr. Willis of
Kentucky is setting i'm for fight on his ed
ucatiOnal bill. The committee on educa-
tiOn has persiStently laid it over from time
to time, evidently intending not to report it
at all. The fact is" ne said to your cor
respondent, ''the committee is afraid to let
the bill get before the house. They know
that 1t will pass il the house gets a vote Oh
it."
why are they so opposed to it?"
well, il seems that there are men on
the committee who got places on it for the
express purpose OF strangIing the bill. OF
course, Mr.. Carlisle didn't know il,
when he put them on, but l am con-
vinced that this is the fact. They
are opposed to the bill. and are willing to
practically say TO the S3j members of the
house that, because they-these seven
members OF the cOmmittee-think the bill
ought not to pass, the other 31S members of
the house shall have no voice in the mat
ter"
''Are they not willing to make even an
adverse report on the biil?"

satisfied. L only want to get the bill be-
fore the house in some way. But they are
uelefhlnSu 10 play the dog IN tne manger,
neither acting on the bill or letting anybody
else do So"
'What will be the reSult?"
Il will have the bill before the house in
some way. L propose hereafter to intro
duce bill similar to this every Monday,
and asks its reference to some other CT III
mittee. If there is objection, and the
speaker rules that it must 20 to the educa-
tional committee, will appeal to the house
and state that the educational committee
refuses to act on the bill now before it, and
the house, believe, will vote to send it TO
some other committee. L propose to have
that bill before the house before the end of
the session"
You are in earnest about it?'
Il am, indeed. don't propose to be
choked of in this way. Besides, if we
don't pass it our party will lose the next
house, sure. There are many members in
both the North and South who dare not go
before their constituents for reelection
without having given a favorable vote on
this bill. 1t was only by full explanations
Of the reasons for its failure in the last
congress that we were able to carry Vir-

stretched upon the floor dead in pool of
blood. The frightened fireman hastily fed
from the room and reported to the hOIel
Office that Mr.. Hahn had cut his throat and
Killed himself. The hotel employees had
the door of the room secured and sent for
the coroner, who soon appeared, and DR..
Bliss made an examination which showed
that death resulted from hemorrhage of the
lungs. Mr. Hahn, who was a man of
delicate physique, had been i'll for some
time with lung trouble, and was under
treatment by DR.. Bliss. 1t is not known at
what time he died.
An autopsy showed that death resulted
from the rupture of blood vessel near the
heart. produced, it is believed. by excessive
coughing. The remains will leave here at

1l3 were closed bags, containing 200 bags
of letter mail for the United States and

about 40 bags of newspaper mail, dis

about 2,400 letters and packages, dis

THE TOTAL loss.
The Tribune estimates the loss by the
sinking of the Oregon as follows: Steamer,

of passengers, $3.50, 600; TOTAL $1,000, 900.
Nothing has been heard of the
cOIliding schooner the word ELLA
as part of her name was thought to be seen
for a moment, but no vessel with that name
could have been there at that time. The
Emma c. Cotton might have been in the
neighborhood. There is little doubt that
the vessel with all on board went down.
1t is generally agreed that with the eX-
cep1on of the panicstricken stokers, who
made a rush for the boats. and got knocked
down, everybody on board, the ladies in
cluded acted with admirable GOODNESS and
consideration for the rights of others.
