CAvILL DIES UNDER WATER
Australian Champion Swimmer Per-
ishes In Jackson's baths,
Stoc ton.

STOCKTON. May 22-charles Cavili.
the Australian champion swimmer. who
recently swami around the Seal rocks At
the Cliff House and across Golden Gate,
lost his life tonight while swimming in
Jackson's baths here cayill Was first
thrown into the water, which is seven
feet deep. in sack, and he cut himself
out. He then went in and undressed in
the water. Another trick was 10 lie on
the bottom of the tank and write on
slate in answer to talking, which was
done successfully
The last act was to try TO break his
worlds record of staying down longer
than five minutes and five seconds. To do
this the swimmer used weighted tank
or barrel. which is placed In the water
during the day and left with sufficient
air for the exhibitor 10 breathe for sew
eral minutes. Cavfil dove down and went
under this tank as he had planned and
became suffocated. Kahn thinks. Natural
gas which Is said not to be poisonous,
Genes up in the water at Jackson's baths,
and that was under the tank or barrel
when Cavili thought II was good ar.
When Cayiil got under the tank and
breathed the gas he lost consciousness.
Kahn thinks. and was suffocated, but not
drowned.
when cavin had beer under six min
wrong. and he dove for him Kahn saws
he swan about for q few seconds and
then went TO the tank and struck one OF
CaviiTs legs. He grabbed Il and gave u
a pull. and Cavill came toward him with
a rush. but being a very heavy man kaha
could not raise him 10 the surface. kahn's
first thought when he struck the foot was
that Gavin had kicked him, but he saw
almost Immediately that the man was
dead Then he got under the body, and
pushed Il 10 the surface. Men hastened
to help him, but Kahn says he saw at
cree that CaviIi could not be brought
back TO life for there WAS no water In
his body and nothing but froth came from
the mouth. Kahn brsathsd into the body.
and worked with many others and doc
tors TO bring life 20 The body. but no sign
OF consciousness was seen. The body has

bill was only desultory and no conclusion
beyond that stated was reached The
sugar schedule was the subject of fire.
quent remarks, there was a. discussion
of the advisability OF offering substitute
for it. but no conclusion 10 that effect
was arrived at. II was made apparent
that every Democratic senator present
would probably vote against IL.
German urged the advisabiity OF the
introduction of a substitute for the entire
bill, but it was soon made apparent that
the sentiment of the caucus was almost
unanimous in opposition to this course.
and 1t was not pressed to a vote.
German gave a brief outline of the sub
stitute He said he thought bili could
be prepared which would levy a revenue
duty on tea coffee and other articles,
which would increase the governments
customs receipts sufficiently to make the
Wilson bill satisfactory. and thus score a
point of importance. The general senti-
ment of the caucus was opposed TO any
policy of delay. No set speeches viii be
made in opening the debate, and there
probably will be no effort from the Demo
cratic side OF the chamber to prevent TAX
ing UP the schedules Immediately after
Aidrich's preliminary statement Is con-
cuded. The Democrats express hopes
that disagreement Will develop among
the Republicans.
Al the conclusion of the caucus Senator
German gave out the following statement
concerning II:
"A conference of Democratic senator's
was held today. and IL was unanimously
agreed by them that Notwithstanding the
delay in furnishing the competitive state
ments which would enable them intein-
gently TO consider the bill. there would be
no opposition TO Immediately proceeding
with the consideration OF the same on
Tuesday. az they recognize that the busi-
ness interests of the country require as
speedy a disposition of the question as II
consistent with an intelligent considera-
ton of the measure.
They were further unanimously of the
opinion that the excessive increases In
rates on imported articles provided for by
the Dingley bill. as reported 10 the SEN
ate should be antagonized only 10 the ex-
tent of exposing their enormties.
Recognizing. however. that the Repu5-
Ecan party IL committed 10 these in
creases, the Democrats Will be content
with only q fair discussion upon these
proportions.
The Democrats were further unanimous
ly OF the opinion that they would oppose
the Increased tax on beer, tobacco, cigars
and the other items embraced in the IN
ternaf revenue schedules. Neither party
was committed 70 such Increases and there
Is no gover ernmental necessity for such IN
creased burdens upon those articles.

weaken the concert.

damage TO cultivation throughout the
country, due TO the absence OF thousands
OF workers. This years budget will prob
ably leave a dencit of 60ec9.po drachmas.
The Greek statement is now received
with a certain skepticism. II is pointed
ont that by the admissions of the Greeks
themselves 70 per cent. of the interest OF
the debt which they have not paid has
been set aside in order 10 have money for
the war. and that consequently Greece is
in a position 10 continue paying 30 per
cent OF the interest. and probably more.
