ALMOST UNANIMOUS

by a 81 10 | Vote.
MILLS SPEAKS RIGHT OUT
Now It's Possible 10 Rearrange the
judicial Districts Of Texas
Without Asking the Con-
sent of Grover.

Washington, Feb S.-The senate was
In executive session most pt the dag
considering the Adglo American Ie'.Itc
treaty, so that littlt tiinr wls given IN
open session to the iraasactip1 ut reyn-
lar legislative work. Ea1Y IN The day
the bill re-arrangng the judicial dis
triCts of Texas was passed over the
presidents veto by the usually heavy
majority of 81 to |, the negative vote
being that of Mr., Caffery of Louis
lama. Speaking OF the hill. Mr. Mills
said the burden of the presidents OH
lection was that the Judge of the court,
the clerk and the marshal opposed the
change. For years the development NJ
Texas had demanded the change. llut
every time ii was attempted there was
the opposition Of the court officials,
who desired their convenience consult
ed rather than the convenience of the
public. And 50 in this case, said the
senator, the president had accepted the
views of the court officials rather than
those of the representatives of the peo-
pie. 1T is strange tn me- said MIR.
Mills. that the president does not con-
suit the 10 representatives from Texas
instead of accepting the views OF court
officers"
Mr.. Hoar said he thought the senator
from Texas did the president great
Injustice by saying he was moved sole
ly 10y the wishes of the court officials
ON the contrary. said Mr. Hoar, the
president took the very strong position
that but A. cases have arisen In five
years in the locality of the proposed
district That was very strong and
valid objection. The senator thought
1t was outweighed, however. by the
growth of Texas and its future needs.
and he would vote for the bill I'm spite
of the veto. The effect of the vote is to
make the bill "a law without further
reference tn the president. as II already
has passed over the veto In the
house
Mr.. Pettigrew sought To have the bill
relative to amending the timber cul-
ture laws recalled from the president
to correct an error. Mr., Hill interposed
the legal point that II was beyond the
power of congress to take a hill out
of the hands of the president To amend
IL on matters of substance. II might
overcome the veto power by withdraw
ing hill from the president when II
was liable To be vetoed. The resolution
went over. Al ! o'clock. on motion OF
Mr.. Sherman, the senate went into
executive session and so remained UNI
,,til adjournment at b:2j y. m.

THERE is SUSPICION
FEELING IN BASIN OVER THE
RECENT MURDER.
Opinion Has u That the Murderer of Old
Mrs. McDonagh Is Her Own
Daughter.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
l,asln. Mont, Feb. S.-The funeral of
Mrs. McDonagh, the aged woman who
was so brutally murdered here saturday
morning. took place yesterday afternoon.
The coroners inquest was concluded af-
ter midnight Saturday and In the verdict
II was stated that certain witnesses with
held evidence which might have led To
the detection OF the murderer. The wit
ucsses referred to. II was understood
were Jack Wall and his wife the latter a
daughter of the murdered woman. and
Louis Suhr. "a nephew OF Mrs Wall and
a grandson of Mrs. McDonagh
Later Ia the day Deputy sheriff Hal
ford came up from Boulder with warrants
for the arrest Of the three persons men
toned ana took them to IN" county seat
TOT examination. There is u very strong
suspicion in Basin that Mrs Wall com
mittcd the awful murder, the alleged mo-
tive being the fact that her father. who
is blind and veteran ot the rebellion. Is
drawing So q month pension, and in case
Of the death Of her mother Mrs. Wall
would have the Carv OF her blind father
aud would get bits pension. II was mainly
on this supposition and her rpluctunc, TO
TESTIFY AT the COrOurrs inquest that first
directed suspicion toward her. Another
bit Of rirCumstantinl ~ idrncc Is the fact
trat she took her blind father away from
his home and To her own place that night
and lyft h'r mother alone al her home.
In the morning she returned with the old
man and pretended to discover the MUIR
der for the urst time. Her husband. IL is
generally believed here. had nothing To
do with the commission of the crime, but
that he knows something about It,
Ii appears that the family had heeu ca
rouslng during the evening before the
murder and there is evidence that the old
woman WAS made intoxicated and IL is be-
licyed that Louis Suhr brought that
about. and that Is supposed to be the ex-
tent Of his connection with the crime.
The evidence Was that Mrs. McDonagh
Was lying On "a pillow OH the fioor near
the stove when she was attacked. Tn.
first blow evidently was aimed at her
throat and 10 ls argued that II the axe
uad been handled by a man the head

for two cuts wyr. received on her right
hand and three small cuts on her face.
Tn, ONLY motive that can b" found for
the horrible murder Is the one Indicated
