The Committee Decides that the SEN
ators Were Not Bribed.


Washington, August 2--Senator Gray,
chairman Of the sugar investigation
committee presented the report to the
senate today, the main report being
signed by all the members Of the
committee. Lodge. and Davis presented
a supplementary report, and Allen pre-
sents his own views on some features
Of the case. Secretary Carlisle is ex-
onerated.
The committee say the evidence does
not show that the sugar schedule was
made in consideration Of contributions
to the Democratic campaign fund, or
improper conduct on the part Of those
engaged in framing the schedule.
The committee strongly deprecate the
pressure to which congress and Its
members are subjected by representa-
tives Of the great industrial combina-
tlons WHOSE enormous wealth tends
to suggest undue influence. and to
create in public minds demoralizing
belief in the existence Of corrupt pol
itics."
The committee reports in the negative
upon the question whether any sem
ator had been speculating in sugar
stocks during the consideration OF the
tariff BILL" AS to the latter branch Of
inquiry which brought out the photo
graphic copy of the order to buy sugar
stocks dated March 2. and purporting
to be signed by Senator Camden, the
committee gives credence to the denial
Of Senator Camden, and says that Bat
tershall, whose testimony was expected
to bear up the inference from the pho>
tographic copy, Is man Of doubtful
character Senator Smith is also exon
Grated from blame.
In summing up, the committee says
no charge or charges have been filed
before them, alleging that the action
OF the senators has been corruptly in
huenced in consideration OF the tariff
bill, and no attempt has been made to
influence legislation.

said:
1.-The athletic craze has gone far

tend to improve the morals of the col

universities, it is also fact that
in the fierce inter- collegiate con-
tests there is required degree
of proficiency that cannot be attained
without constant practice: c0nse-

1t is difficult problem for educators to
solve. A thousand men cannot be con-
trolled like school boys. but we are lin

accept for absence from classes. Yet we
believe that intercollegiate contests are
profitable. 1t is impossible to secure
limitation, so necessary to the life of
athletic undertakings, without inter
collegiate contests. but they should he

Replying to question concerning CO.
education, DIR. Patton said:
Il am opposed to it. 1t is not neces-

to it. There will never be any such

LONDON. April ia dispatch from
Vienna TO the Standard says that En-
peror William and Emperor Francis
Joseph, according to the Pesther Lloyd,
had narrow escape from injury Fri
day last when they were leaving

Just as their majesties passed out of
the door large hammer dropped from
the roof of the station and fell to the
ground at their feet. Au inquiry has
been opened into the affair, but how
the hammer came to fall has not yet
been discovered.
The Munich-Allgemeine Zeitung says
that Emperor Williams absence from
the gaia performance given in his
honor in Venice Sunday last was not
due to the fact that he does
not go to the theater on Sunday. but
that the police had received Informa-

An Alarming State of Affairs in
Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 15.-One hundred and
twenty-six new cases was the smallpox
record in Chicago for the last week, as
shown by the books in the health de-
partment. One hundred and eighty six
patients are in the pest house, several
are in the suspect" ward of the
county hospital, and number are quar-
antined in private houses because there
is no room in the city's hospital. The
department of health, by its officials
and inspectors, declares itself I'M
able to prevent the further
spread of the disease unless further
facilities are provided at once and the
people of the wards most affected CO.
operate in reporting new eases as soon
as they arise. The most serious con-
dition of affairs has been found
in the southwest portion of the city.
The health inspector found three per-
SONS dead in their houses today, and
two similar cases Saturday. The peu-
pie living in the houses had concealed
the existence Of smallpox until death
came.

organizations will seek to annihifate
the American Railway union. Con-
ferences were held in Chicago to-
day in regard to the situation on the

for
