SETS HIGH VALUE ON POETRY.
Chicagoan Flirts With Muse and
Sonnets Figure in $4,000
Breach of Promise Suit.

Chicago, April 2S.-Toasts contain
ing tender sentiments have entangled
Delavan S. Foote of Chicago in a
breach of promise suit in the sum of
$4,000 brought against him by Miss
Mary E. Diemar of Milwaukee in the
circuit court. 1t is alleged such toasts
as these of Mr.. Foote are more blind
Ing upon a young man from a matri-
monial standpoint than is the singing
of "Oh, Promise Me-" which recently
resulted in a breach Of promise suit
against a Batavia man.
Here is II of the toasts which is
said to have led Miss Diemar to believe
that Mr.. Foote had serious intentions:
Here's to the grape that makes the rud-
dy wine,
III be your sweetheart. If you'll he mine,
III be constant, if you'll be true,
I'll leave my happy home for you.
AS If this were not convincing
enough Miss Diemar is ready to sub
NIT in evidence the following toast,
proposed by Mr.. Foote to her:
Here's to one. and only one.
And may that one be she
who loves but one, and only one,
And may that one be me.
Not only did Mr.. Foote present this
loving sentiment in her honor over the
glow of the wine glass, Miss Diemar
says, but he actually sent her a type
written copy of it on note paper. This
precious document is part of the evil
dence against him.
Another toast that Mr.. Foote pro-
posed to Miss Diemar, which is con
sidered by the prosecution to have the
true flavor of matrimonial intent, was
this one:
Here's to you, my sweetheart, may
you live a thousand years. Here's to
me. my sweetheart, may I live a thou
sand years, less one day; for what
would life be after you had passed
away"

General Smiths Samar Order Draws
Fire of Senators During Philippine
Debate-Teller Says It is a Dis
grace to Army, and Lodge Con-
dennis It-House Passes Omnibus
Public Building Bill.

Washington, d. c., April 30.-A spir-
tied discussion of the Philippine situa-
ton occurred in the senate today. 1t
revolved around the order alleged to
have been issued by General Smith to
make the island of Samar "a bowling
wilderness and to kill all male inhab-
tants over the age of 10 years." The
debate took a wide range, however, and
many other points were discussed.
When the Philippine bill was laid be-
fore the senate. no one was prepared
to deliver a set speech on it. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, said he felt
compelled to press 1t for consideration.
His remarks drew the fire of Senator
Teller of Colorado, who criticised the
Republicans for not participating in
the discussion. This precipitated a de-
bate, and for more than two hours it
continued. Senator Teller declared
that General Smith. if he had issued
such an order as attributed to him,
ought to be dismissed from the service,
as 1t was a disgrace to the American
army and to the American people.
Senator Lodge said that, while he
knew little of the circumstances sur
rounding the alleged order, he did not
approve of cruel methods in warfare
and that every right-minded person
must regret General Smiths order. To
him 1t was revolving. He defended the
administration, however. saying that
as soon as knowledge of the order had
come to Washington, President Roose-
welt had directed that General Smith be
courtmartialed.

Day in the Senate.

Washington, d. c., April 2S.-Sena-
tor Carmack of Tennessee in the senate
today completed his speech on the Phil
ippine government bill which was be-
gun yesterday. He continued his ex-
ceedingly caustic criticism of the ad-
ministration's policy and the ultimate
end to which it would lead.
At the conclusion of the morning
business Senator Carmack resumed his
speech on the Philippine government
bill. By the pending bill he said the
islands were for the Filipinos as a pas
ture was for ~sheep-they lived, and
browsed there in order to raise wool
for others to wear and mutton for 9TH
ers to eat.
Senator Carmack referred to the ca
bled reports from Manila that General
Smith had acknowledged he had given
the ORDERS to make Samar a bowling
wilderness and kill all over ten as hor-
rible beyond description. The program,
he said, was the practice unheard of by
barbarities in the slaughter of inhabi-
tants and to have the torch complete
the work of slaughter.
when the land is without a home
and the country without people the
word 'pacified' will be written upon the
tombstone of the province of Samar,'
said the senator. The civil government
as established by this bill, he predict
ed. would result in ever-recurring in
%surrections to be put down by our blood
and treasure, in order that a few rap
scallions and crapetbaggers might have
unlimited license to thieve and plum
der.
Senator Dolliver of Iowa asked Sena-
tor Carmack to define his own position,
having first inveighed against holding
the islands in perpetual despotism"
and being now solicitous lest they be
admitted as states.
Senator Carmack responded that his
W position is clear. While the carpet
baggers and adventures are p%lundering
and getting control of the islands, he
said, the government has provided in
this bill just what they wanted. When
they had everything they wanted, he
said, they would clamor for American
markets and American statehood.
Senator Carmck expressed the ernest
wish that the administration would
turn from the "bloody gospel of siren
uous life" to the pths of peace.
These nominations were confirmed
by the senate today:
G. w. Baber, postmaster at Paris, ILL.,;
Rear Admiral H. c. Taylor to be chief
OF bureau of navigation of the navy de-
