The Philadelphia Inyestirntion.

HARRISBURG, Feb. 26.-The movement
for the appointment of senate commit
tee to Investigate the municipal affairs OF
Philadelphia has not been abandoned, as
many suppose, but is merely in allegiance
At conference before the legislative re-
cess between the friends in the senate OF
Senator Quay 1t was decided that there
should be such an investigation, and a
resolution was outlined to be introduced
by Senator Kennedy, of Allegheny. Sen
ator Penrose favors an investigation, and
would vote and fight for it in the senate
were it not for the reason that he is afraid
his actions might be interpreted as resent
ment for his defeat for the mayoralty
nomination. Mr.. Martins friends assert
that they have no fear, and declare that
they can stand an inquiry into the affairs
of the city as well as their opponents can
into the affairs of the state capital.

Harry Hayword's Danuuoiatiou of
His Brother Adry.
PERJURY MOST EXTRAORDINARY

Either Harry Adry Is an Adept in
Bearing False witness, for the Former
Repeats Adry's Story with Their Posi-
tions Reversed.
MlNNEAPOL1s, Feb. 26.-It was some
what of asurprise to Mr.. Nye the county
attorney, when Mr. Erwin turned Harry
Hayward over for ross-examination a
short time before court adjourned. He had
expected that the examination would take
at least the day and was hardly prepared
to go into the examination He therefore
contented himself with going over some
minor matters that he might begin in
earnest this morning.
The day was an extremely interesting
one, being filled with the troubles between
the witness and his brother Adry, he
said, had proposed all the bloody details
of the murder. Harry explained that he
had been so shocked at his brothers de-
pravity that he had resolved to sound
many other people to see If they had such
wonderful consciences. Thus IL was that
he had questioned Waterman and the
hackman, and even L. M. Stewart, and he
dared the state to put Stewart on the
stand.
Instead of having threatened to kill his
brother with knife, Adry, he said, had
threatened to kill his father, and had often
stated that he was so devoid Of conscience
that he could kill his father easily and not
be troubled about it afterward All through
his evidence it was Adry who had been the
fend, Adry who was the slaughterer,
Adry who had mania for killing people,
Adry who was the member of a gang,
Adry who was everything, and yet with
all this he went on TO tell how he confided
all his business to Adry and begged his
father to take him back into his employ.
Not much more of interest developed
during the remainder of the direct exami-
nation and Mr.. Erwin turned the witness
over to the state late in the afternoon Mr..
Nye made Harry admit that he had been
gambler by habit for years-in fact, since
he was II years old Then he went over
his relations with Miss Cling, and had
Harry repeat his wanderings the night OF
her murder. He got along very well ex-
cept to say my fiat" twice in places where
he had said on direct examination that he
went into his mothers fiat.
Mr.. Erwin interrupted and corrected
him. In speaking of where he went after
leaving the fiat witness said he went
directly up Hennepin to Laurel avenue.
On direct examination he said that he
went down Hennepin first, intending to
look for Miss Cling at her place Of business.
Harry showed on map where he had
gone until he reached Mr.. Bartleson's
residence. The states attorney kept ask
ing all sorts of questions, evidently with
view to laying the foundation for i'm
peachment of the direct testimony. 1t is
understood that several points were made.
d. M. Wilson, the horse dealer, about
whom the defense made such a row when
it was found he was out of town, has re-
turned, and will go on the stand if wanted.

ment or the BchriHg Sea Award.
WAsHNGrON, Feb. 2j.-The general de-
fciency bill the last Of the regular ap-
preparation bills, passed the house yestcr-
day Almost the entire day was spent dis
cussing the amendment to pay Great
Britain Si2j 600, the amount of damages
agreed upon by Secretary Gresham and
Sir Julian Pauncefote to be due that
country under the award of the Paris arbi-
tration tribunal on account of the seizure
Of some twenty Canadian sealcrs by the
United States previous to the modus vi
yendi of 1892
The amendment was strongly attacked
by Messrs. Cannon Ills.) Henderson Qa)
and Hit Qlls.) on the ground that the
amount was unreasonably large; that
some of the vessels were owned by citizens
of the United States, and that 1915, 600 was
for constructive or speculative damages
(the estimated catch). Only SS1, ,0O0 they
contended was due Great Britain. Messrs.
Breckinridge (Ky.), MoCreary (Ky.), Ding
ley (Me.) and Hooker (Miss.) supported
the amendment, maintaining that the
government, no matter how bad the bar
gain, must carry out the award of the
Paris tribunal in good faith Mr. Ding

Great Britain 1926 900 than leave the as
sessment of damages to an umpire ap-
pointed by foreign power.
The amendment carried in committee,
but was defeated in the house by 112 to
l43. Some excitement was caused by the
attempt to strike out in the house the ap-
preparation for an extra month salary for
the employees Of the house and senate and
the clerks Of members, but it failed, and
the amendment prevailed, 143 to 10S Mo
tions to reconsider and recommit were
voted down as promptly as offered until
the opposition dwindled to a point when
1t could not get the yeas and nays 1t then
surrendered, and the bill was passed.
The senate is now working day and
night on the appropriation bills in order
I to complete them before the session closes.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
considered with little interruption or
delay from IL a. IN. to $3.50 p. m. and
again at a night session. The item of
Sl5O,OOO for purchasing the historic prop
erty of the late James g. Blaine in order
to prevent its use for theater purposes
occasioned a sharp debate, but was finally
agreed to-
