ANARCHISTS
Said to Be Responsible for the Awful
Holocaust at Paris, May 4.

Chicago. June 24.-The Post to-day
says. According to story which has
Just reached Chicago from Paris via
Washington, the terrible holocaust
which wiped out over one hundred
lives at the French capital, May 4, was
the work of anarchists thirsting for re-
venge on the upper classes of France.
1t is claimed that while the official
inquiry into the circumstances sur
rounding the catastrophe threw little
light on the cause of the fire, the Sc
cret service department is working on
a clew that points to an anarchist con-
spiracy of stupendous magnitude. 1t is
said the Paris detectives have not only
satisfied themselves that anarchists
were at the bottom Of the awful crime,
but that the leaders who planned it
fed to America as soon as they had
seen with what frightful success it had
been executed. It is also asserted that
several persons are under arrest in
Paris on suspicion of knowing more
about the affair than they care to tell.
4 member of the French legation at
Washington is said to be authority for
the story.

Charleston, w. Va, June 24.-Wiley
Lewis sent for Judge Hall this morning
and told him that the confession which

Hall took back his promise to save his
life. so that case will be tried on its

Topeka, Kas., June 24.-The worst
hail storm known in the history OF
Kansas struck this city shortly after
o'clock tonight. Hail stones weigh
ing twelve to sixteen ounces strip
ped the trees of their foliage, smashing
, window panes on every hand, includ-
ing the finest plate glass store fronts,
cut down telegraph and telepone wires,
riddled awnings and inflicted unpre-
cedented damage throughout the city.
Dogs were struck in the streets and in
stantly killed. Horses were Knocked
to their knees to rise again and dash
away in mad fright. Runaways occur
red throughout the city. When the
fury of the storm had passed dead birds
were found everywhere. A heavy wind
and terrific lightning accompanied the
storm.
Topeka tonight looks like a city that
has withstood a siege of war guns.
There are not a dozen buildings in the
town that are not almost windowless
and many roofs are caved in. The roofs
of street cars also were pierced. The
damage wrought can better be imagin-
ed when it is known that the hail
stones ranged in size from that Of a
hens egg to an ostrich egg, and that
thirty minutes after the storm one hail
stone was picked up which measured
fourteen inches in circumference. Sur
geons are busy dressing the wounds Of
persons injured in the storm, and re-
ports Of injuries continue to be re-
ceived. Many were hurt in runaways
on the streets.
The following are among the most
seriously hurt:
Frank Bralnard, hackman. skull
fractured; J. d. Henderson, liveryman,
skull fractured; Roy White. leg broken
in a runaway; Mrs. Mary Hughes, arm
broken in a runaway; D. Klee, bad
scalp wound; Miss Anna Fenton, head
cut; Fred Pollock, head cut.
The damage cannot be estimated,
but it will amount to thousands. Win
dow glass is already at premium here
and tonight three car loads were or
dered from Kansas City.
Street car traffic is stopped and cleo
trio lights are out owing to demoraliza-
tion of the electric system.

OF
Washington, June PA stubborn
contest over the duties on manufac-
tured woolen goods occupied the atten-
tion of the Senate throughout to-day.
1t was a day of constant roll calls and
of cross fire debate on the effect on the
duties in advancing rates.
Many amendments were proposed to
reduce the rates, but these were reject
ed by decisive majorities. Less than
five pages were disposed of during the
day. carrying the Senate through para
graph $40, the first of the paragraphs
relating to carpets. During the day,
Mr. Caffery, of Louisiana, spoke at
length against the protective system
and severely arraigned those Demo-

duties on wool and other raw materials.
Resolutions of deep regret were pass
ed on the death of Representative
Cooke, of Illinois, and committee Of
five Senators was named as an escort.

MIR. HALE HAS WAX
Proposes to Bar Ex-S
Their Privileg

Proposes to Bar E1-s % Use
Washington, : q 81 Hale, of
surprise il of proposed
amendment senate rule admit
ting to the pl lleges of the floor of
the Senate only ex-Senators who are
not interested in any claim or in the
prosecution of the same, or directly in
any bill pending before Congress. "
Added to the text of the proposed
change is the following: "The purpose
of the proposed amendment is to pre-
vent ex-Senators from enjoying the
privileges of the floor of the Senate for
the purpose of urging or opposing
claims or bills in which they are en-
ployed as attorneys"
Mr.. Hale stated that it was matter
of satisfaction to renew the acquaint-
ance and the association Of Senators
who had been members Of the body,
but he did not think it was compatible
with the dignity of the Senate that the
privileges of the floor should be used
by gentlemen interested in pending
legislation.
Mr.. Hawley suggested that there
might be some objection to any point
ing out of ex-Senators and Mr.. Allen
asked what had taken place in recent
days to call attention to the subject.
Mr.. Hale asked that he be not re-
quested to particularize. Mr.. Allen de-
clared that. there had been no more
lobbying of late than there had been
for years. At one time he had intro
duced a bill making it crime to come
on the capitol grounds with view to
lobbying on pending measures. 1t was
at a time when the pooling bill and
other measures were bringing lobbyists
from all parts of the country. Why
not make it crime, covering all lob
byists, he asked.
Mr. Hale explained that he was not
seeking any such drastic measure.
Mr.. Allen again asserted that lobby
lists crowded the corridors and galleries
like crows in the trees.
The proposed amendment went over.

the country. suffered considerably,
trees being levelled in every direction.
The weather bureau officials report the
downpour of rain the heaviest this sea-

The storm was particularly severe on
the river towns, Keokuk, Alton and
