SHELvED FOR
The PRESENT
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL PUT ON
CALENDAR.
NO PROTEST WAS MADE
Army Measure Now Takes Its
Privileged Place as Unfin-
ished Business.

Washington, Jan. 3-Without a
murmur OF dissent and without a
word Of comment the senute today dis
placed the shipping subsidy bill from
it's privileged position as unfinished
business" and substituted for it the
army reorganization bill.
Since the second day of the present
session the shipping bill had been un-
finished business with the understand
ing that it should not interfere with
the army reorganization bill or ap-
preparation bills. When the senate
convened today in it's first session of
the twentieth century the army bill
was taken up with the view to pres
sing it to a final vote as soon as pos
sible. Its consideration proceeded
until 2 O'Clock, the end of the morning
hour, when the subsidy bill was laid
before the senate.
Pettigrew of South Dakota then OBJ
jected to a request for unanimous con-
sent to continue discussion of the
army bill. By vote of the senate
the military measure was continued
for consideration. Thus making it
unfinished business and sending the
subsidy bill hack to the calendar.
During the discussion Of the army
measure the opposition senators indi-,
Gated that their line of attack upon
the bill would be against the creation
Ct large permanent standing army.
There was an iutimation that objec-
tion would not be offered to tempor-
ary measure to provide an adequate
force to maintain the authority of the
United States in the Philippines.
Beyond this point today's proceed
ings developed nothing.

Thrilling Story Of Seduction and
Murder Contributed by
North Dakota.

Milton, N. d., JAM 3-William
Barry, middle aged and wealthy
farmer living about 20 miles from
here, came to town today and gave
himself up to the. authorities, saying
that he had killed Andrew Mellen. his
hired man.
Barry is single man and for years
his sister has resided with him as
housekeeper. Mellen has been en-
ployed by him for the past eight years
The story that Barry tells is as fol-
lows: On coming from his work last
night he found his sister in tears and
upon questioning her she confessed
that intimacy had existed between
Mellen and herself and that he had
seduced her under promise of mar
riage, but now declined to carry out
his agreement.
Barry, much enraged, went in
search of Mellen, but could not find
him. Returning home he found that
his sister was missing. After search
ing nearly all night he found her out
on the prairies, nearly frozen. Taking

again returned home and found Mellen
IN the barn doing the morning chores.
He went in and fastening the door
after him told Mellen that he had re-
solved tokill him. He gave him his
choice of death, either by knife or
rope and demanded that he choose at
once. This Mellen declined to do
and Barry threw a rope about his neck
and attempted to hang him.
Barry is very large man and Mel
len was much smaller, but SO desper-
ately did the latter struggle that
Barry found it would be impossible to
kill his victim in this way. He then
took out his watch and telling Mellen
that he had but five minutes more to
live recommended that he say his
prayers.
Mellen, too exhausted for further
resistance, kneit IN silent prayer,
Barry standing over him watch in
aand. At the expiration of the time
limit Barry plunged his knife into the
zneeling mans neck, inf1icting wounds
rom which he died almost instantly.
