Declines to Give Names to the Sugar
Trust Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Judge Dit
tenhefer, counsel for Correspondent
Edwards, appeared yesterday before
the sugar trust investigation and an
nounced he had advised his client
not to give the committee the names
of the persons from whom he re-
ceived certain information bearing
upon the subject under investigation.
He quoted the supreme court decis-
ions in the KilbOurne and Counselman
cases in support of his position.
Among other reasons, Judge Often
hoefer stated that for Mr.. Edwards to
disclose the names of his informants
would be to degrade him as news
paper man.
The committee overFuled Judge
DittenhOefer's objections, and again
calling Mr.. Edward in, repeated it's
demand that he give the names .

peated his final decision not to comply
with the demand. He was then ex-

into secret session. No decision as to
a future course of action was reached.
Senator Ca fiery and ex-Congress-
man lie Fevre of Louisiana were be-
fore the committee later, and denied
the story of their participation in the
alleged conference with the sugar
trust.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, MAY 26.-In the

Presbyterian church yesterday, the
Means case was taken up and argu-
ment was resumed by DR. Flynn He
argued that the use of the telephone
ON Sunday was a necessity, and the
result of its use was to lessen Sunday
labor. His speech was a strong pres
entation of the synods position.
DIR. Luper followed and spoke in
favor of enforcing the law as it stood,
and not cOnstrue laws to fit every
case. This was not a question of
what the law should be, but what it
was If Miss Means work was a
necessity she should not be dis

right? He argued that the session

was, not to sustain the appeal from

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Owing to a
cut in the estimates submitted last
year to congress for increase in the
navy, the navy department has gotten
into a sad plight The estimates pre-

sufficient to carry forward the work
to which the government was actually
committed by contracts but they were
scaled down before reaching congress.
As consequence several of the

ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
Democratic Tariff Managers Trying to
Hasten Action.


WASHINGTON, May 26.-The Demo
cratic managers of the tariff bill con-
ferred among themselves yesterday
with the view of finding means of
fastening the final disposition of the
bill, and at one time during the day
decided to ask the Republicans to-
day to agree to date when the vote
should be taken, but after cOnferen nee
with the Repu blican leaders, decid ed
to postpone the request for the
present.
They had expected to ask that the
date for the vote be fixed on June 8
or 9, and thought they would be able
to secure an agreement for about
June Is. The conference with the
Republicans convinced them that if
the request should be made now it
would be antagonized and proba bly,
would result in loss of time and in no

CHAPTER XIII.

Joyce, generously slumbering upon
| his barrel, was aroused and the horses
brought from their temporary stables in
| the village The first portion of the
| homeward ride was performed in ST
| lence. The reaction from the intense
mental and physical strain which
Monckton had undergone for SO many
| hours left him depressed and little
| morose. Imogene, on the contrary, was
| busy with sweet thoughts. She pos
sessed a knowledge the want of which
made him unhappy-she knew she loved
| him, while he. with the blindness which
affects the cleverest men where women
are concerned, particularly if they are
in love, never suspected the truth. He
| believed that he had won her respect.
He would almost have preferred her
| hatred. That would at least have been
something positive, something to put
him on his mettle and sting his pride
| awake But respect! You may go to
| the funeral of man You respect and
talk stocks or politics in the carriage,
lift your hat at the grave and return
home with the sense of a disagreeable
duty performed. You respect good, wor-
| thy, uninteresting people, virtuous bores
and fine old gentlemen who have lost
all their hearing and part of their wits
because you do not know what else to
| do with them. But such is not our feel
| ground where they pass, and whose
| name is delicious music.
With ideas like these running in his
brain, it is not astonishing that Ralph
Monckton held his head down, silent and
| disinclined to speak. But Imogene, rid
| ing beside him, smiled mysteriously
from time to time and gazed at him
with eyes whose sweet confession was
hidden by the darkness. AT length, how
ever, her happiness overfiowed at her
lips.
Ralph" she said. ARE you not
proud?"
"Proud!' he repeated, noming out of
his reverie with start. Proud of
what?''
"Of being hero" she replied, for
you are hero, you know, Ralph.

They had halted before the gate to
her dwelling "Help me down, Ralph. "
For a moment, as he lifted her from
the saddle. he held her in his embrace.
She did not free herself; on the con-
trary, she put her arms about his neck
and drew his lips down to meet her own,
