ELKS PARADE
Weather Was Hot, but Much Business
Was Done

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 8.-This
was parade day for the visiting Elks.
Arrangements were perfect and over
1900 Elks were in line. This afternoon
the grand lodge of Elks succeeded in
disposng of two of the most important
matters before it, the trouble over the
Golden Gate lodge at San Francisco and
the question of reinstating Allen O..
Meyers to membership in the Cincinnati
lodge. The Golden Gate matter occupied
four hours of debate, and in the end
on motion the grand exalted ruler in
organizing a new lodge was almost
unanimously sustained. The result in
the case of Meyers was expulsion from
the order by an overwhelming vote.
Awards in the prize drill for Elk clubs
and in the band contest will be an
nounced tomorrow
The heat today was intense, numerous
cases of prostration being reported, but
no fatalities
The following officers were elected:
Grand exalted ruler, Meade D. Deitweil-
err, Harrisburg, Pa; grand secretary,
George A. Reynolds, Saginaw, Mich. !;
treasurer, Ed S. Orris, Meadville. Pa;
grand tiler, Scott Holmes, Cincinnati:
grand esquire, Lew A. Clarke, st. Louis;
grand inner guard, George Myer, jr.,

THE PARTY LEADERS OBJECT
AND M'KINLEY IS OPEN TO

A Message Would Provoke Long De-
bate and the Scheme Would
Be Defeated
Associated Press Special Wire.


WASHINGTON, July S.-The pro-
posed message of the president to con-
gress recommending the appoirtment OF
a commission to consider the question
of the revision of the national currency
and banking laws will not be trans
mitted today, nor for several days, if at
all. The president is undecided, for the
reason that number of the most i'm
portant leaders of the party in both
senate and house have made strong
representations to him that it was in
appropriate TO send such message to
congress while the tariff bill is in con-
ference.
Upon their return to the capitol from
visit to the White House, Allison and
Quay denied having conferred with the
president upon the advisabilty of send
ing message upon the question of cur
rency. Allison expressed the opinion
that If a message should be received il
would be extremely difficult If not i'm
possible 10 secure action by the senate
under existing conditions Necessarily
he said, the matter would be referred
to the france committee, majority OF
which would in all probability be op-
posed to the scheme for currency
commission, and would therefore hold
the matter up indefinitely.
Independent of this statement by ALI
son, it is known to be fact that the
Republican managers of the senate e
agreed three weeks ago not to press any
measure providing for currency COM
mission at the present session of the
senate. The promise was made at a
time when the fate of the tariff bill was
by no means certain, and when it was in
the power of the opposition at least to
indefinitely delay action upon the meas
ure. The agreement provided that
there should be no effort on the part OF
the opponents of the tariff to unneces-
sarily delay action, and the RepublicanT
should not urge the currency commls-
sion scheme upon congress at the pres
ent session, though the president should
send in message recommending such
commission.
The Republican sepa tors feel that any
effort to get currency legislation
through would be futile Aside from the
difficulty of getting such a measure as
that proposed by the president out o.
committee. the scheme would, if report
ed, probably be defeated.
I'VE think we have votes in. the SEN
ate to beat such a measure" said Jones
Of Arkansas a member of the finance
committee, but if it should be report
ed we would feel it to be of sufficient
Importance to demand exhaustive de-
bate"
IT think it would be difficult" he add
ed, "to dispose Of it in less than three
or four mon ths.''
The prevailing opinion on the Republi-
can side of the chamber is that the pres
ident will not Immediately send mes
sage, but it may come later.

WARDS CASE ON TRIAL
THE BRADBURY CASE COMES
UP TODAY
Owing to Lack of Available Testi.
mony Both Defendants Are
Likely to Escape

SAN FRANCISCO, July s.-Police
Judge Lows court room was wholly in
adequate to accommodate the crowd
which swarmed to witness the proceed
ings in the preliminary examination of
w. Russell Ward on the charge of adul-
terry preferred against him, together
with Mrs. John Bradbury of Los An
geles.
The defendant was evidently nervous
and disturbed, but watched the proceed
ings eagerly and was not treated with
the same discourtesy as upon his last ap-
pearance.
Three witnesses were examined dur
ing the morning session. W. H. Palmer,
porter on the Pullman car in which the
couple travelled to this city, testified to
the fact that Mrs Bradbury and Ward
travelled together in a stateroom of his
car.
1t was shown by the clerk Of the Fair
mount hotel that the couple registered
as Mr.. and Mrs. Willis of Nevada, but
that upon being questioned Ward ad-
mitted his identity and was requested to
vacate the rooms they had occupied.
LIKELY TO ESCAPE
A special dispatch to the Express yes
terday says:
SAN FRANCISCO, July SIT is more
than likely that both Mrs. Bradbury and
w. Russell Ward will be released from
the adultery charges. When Ward S
case was called in Judge Lows. court this
morning, the court sustained an objec-
ton of defendants counsel to the testi-
flying of the porter on the train on which
the couple came to this city from Los
Angeles. The basis for the objection
was that what the witness knew oc-
CURED outside of the jurisdiction of the
court.
The landlady and the clerk of the, Fair
mount Hotel were the only witnesses
heard at the trial this morning. They
could give no definite testimony incrim-
mating either Ward or Mrs. Bradbury
in guilty relations at the hotel, but, on
the other hand testified that Ward had,
on registering, called for two rooms,
but that they could not be furnished
+ The indications at the trial were that
Ward would be found not guilty, and,
of course. Mrs. Bradbury will escape if
Ward does. Her case will be called to-
morrow

pears likely the convention will select
Salt Lake City.
Tonight's general session was short
on account of the reception given by
the citizens of Milwaukee. Rev. Lyman
Abbott of Brooklyn was the only speak
er of the evening. His theme was

SENATOR I. G. HARRIS
ENDS HIS LONG CAREER IN
OFFICE
No Man in Public Life Has Been
Identified With More United
States History

WASHINGTON, July s-Senatol
Isham G.. Harris of Tennessee died al
his residence here at o'clock this after
noon.
The senator had been growing con-
stantly weaker for several days past
the intense summer heat which pre-
vailed greatly debilitating him, and nc
doubt Fastening his end. For the pas!
six months the senator has been in del
icate health and only able to attend to
his duties at intervals.
There were present at his deathbed his
son, Edward X. Harris, and the latter's
wife, Representative Benton McMillir
Miss Polk friend from his native state
and members of the household
Interment will be made at Memphis
Probably no man in public life has
been identified with more of the history
of this country than had Senator Har-
ris. He had almost completed his esv-
enty-ninth year, having been born in
February, 1918, and he first became a
member of congress in 1S49 His con-
gressonal career thus began earlier than
antedating Senators Morrill, and Sher-
man by seven years, and Galusha Grow
now member of the house.
Harris was three times in succession
before the war, beginning in 1857, elect
ed governor of his state, and was serv-
ing in that capacity when the war broke
out. He took a pronounced stand fol-
the southern confederacy, and was
known as one of the southern war gov
ernors In 1877 he was elected to the
senate, and has remained member ever
since. Harris has received almost all
the honors the senate could bestow
He was president pro tenn during the
Fifty-third congress, leading member
of the committees on finance and rules
and also of the Democratic advisory OF
steering committee. He had long been
awarded by common consent the frs;
place on both sides of the chamber in
parliamentary questions, and in recen,
years no one was more frequently heard
eXpoundlng these questions, or in the
elucidation of other subjects.

WASHINGTON, July S-Minister Ho-

the immigration question is going for

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The Result of Firing a Cannon
Under Water.

The most curious experiment ever
made with place OF ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England A stage was
erected in the harbor within the
tide mark; on this an Armstrong
gun OF the 110-pound pattern was
mounted. The gun was then load
ed and carefully aimed at target
all Of this, OF course, during the
time Of low tide. A few hours later,
when the gun and the target were
both covered with water to depth
of six feet, the gun was fred by
means of electricity. We said aimed
at target" but the facts are that
there we're two targets, but only one
was erected for this special expert
ment, the other being the hull OF an
old vessel, the Griper, which lay
directly behind the target and in
range Of the ball. The target itself
was placed only twenty-five feet
from the muzzle OF the gun. 1t was
composed OF oak beams aud planks
and was twenty-one inches thick,
In order to make the old Griper l. =
vulnerable sheet of boiler plates
three inches thick was riveted to
the water-logged hull in direct
range with the course the ball was
expected to take if not DETECTED by
the water. On all OF these-the
oaken target, the boiler plates and
the old vessels hull-the effect OF the
shot from the submerged gun was
really startling. The wooden target
was pierced through and through,
the boiler-iron target was broken
into pieces and driven into its
backing" the ball passing right on
through both sides OF the vessel
making huge hole, through which
the water poured in torrents. Taken
altogether the experiment was an
entire success, demonstrating, as il
