Denial Prom sister-in-Law.

New York, June 15-Miss Alice Hol-
brook, the sister-in-law of the late Bar
ney Barnato. was much indisposed to-
day and suffered from the shock. but
she consented to speak to reporters in
order to clear uo certain misconcep-
tons, she said. AS to the circumstances
of Barnato's death she had no direct
knowledge. The statement that she
had received a cablegram was an error
she said. Five days ago. however, she
received letter from her sister, Mrs
Barnato, in which Mrs. Barnato said
that her husband was quite melan-
choiy and much upset over business.
He was very busy and much worried.
There was no hint. however, that his
mental condition was serious.
Miss H0lbrcok wished to DENY many
of the stories told about Barnato's
life
He was not London street waif,,'
she caid. He came of a good English
Jewish family as We do. My sister
was never a barmaid. Mr.. Barnato was
never circus clown. and I did not
.sach him to spell. He had a fine, in
teliigent mind-his business success
shows that. 1t is not true that L d.
net like him.
Miss Holbrook could not account for
B2rnato'S suicide at all.

made a great stride forward today by
completing the consideration of the

during the day, on the amendment of
Mr.. Lindsay Of Kentucky to make the
rate X per cent per pound on sugar
above 16 Dutch standard
The amendment was defeated-32
to 35.

TO trusts, was then taken up and dis
cussed at length. 1t developed con-
siderable divergence of views on both
sides of the chamber. the two Alabama
senators, Messrs. Morgan and Pettus,
joining Mr. Hpar in opposition.
Mr.. Allison flsially tested the sense of
the senate by moving TO tackle the
amendment, which motion prevailed,
