The death Of Thomas B. Reed, ex-
speaker of the house Of representa-

of the foremost lawyers practiing In

pointed for him, was in the minds Of

Grave Charges Against Some Of the Officers
on Duty in Philippines.

Washington, April 1.-Charges made
by the Manila American to the effect
that extreme cruelty is being shown to-
ward privates in certain cases has led
the war department to start an investi-

will be subject for examination is brutal
one.
The Manila American says that Private
Edward Richter, while prisoner in the
guard house at Dos Marines, was tor
tured to death by "a lieutenant COM
handing the detachment" 1t says
Richter was bound hand and foot for in
subordination, placed on his back in the
guard house and several gallons of ice
water allowed to fall on his face, drop by
drop. When unbound it was found that
he had died from the effects.
This is said to be only one of many
instant es where American soldiers have
been given treatment characterized as
bar oarous. Secretary Root believes the
reports unfounded, but will conduct the
investigation that all doubts may be set
at rest.

CORRUPTION CHARGED.
Bribery Fund of Half a Million
Alleged in Connection With
Danish Treaty.

Washington, March ga genuine
sensation was caused in the house by the
presentation by Mr.. Richardson, of Ten
nessee, the Democratic leader, of charges
alleging the corrupt use OF fund OF
$500, 600 in connection with the sale of
Danish West Indies. The charges were
contained in an alleged secret report of
Capt. Walter Christmas to the Danish
government. which declared that he had
employed corrupt means to bring the
negotiations for the sale of the islands
to consummation. The report, ex.
tracts from which Mr.. Richardson read,
mentioned the names of Abner McKin-
ley and his partner, Col. Brown, G. w.
Knox, who was declared as ''an intimate
friend of Senator Hanna" Richard P.
Evans, who was said to represent "Mr.
Gardner and his friends in the house, F"
and two press associations, the names OF
which were not given, as having been in
terested in the matter.
The charges against members of con-
gress were not specific. Upon the basis
of this report MIR. Richardson asked the
adoption of resolution for the appoint
ment of an investigating committee of
seven. The speaker ruled that the mat
ter was privileged, after Mr.. Richardson
had amened his resolution 30 as to spe-
officially include embers of the house.
Great excitement attended the whole
proceeding. Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, in
sisted that Mr.. Richardson's presenta-
ton was fragmentary, and that the whole
matter should go over one day, in order
that members might read the documents
presented, which included newspaper
extracts, affidavits, etc, in the record.
Christmas, he declared, on his own
statement, was briber or worse. But
the house voted down the motion to
postpone, and the resolution after being
amended in some minor particulars, was
adopted.

HURT IN CHURCH
Roof Blown or and About Forty Of the
Worshpers Injured.

Pittsburg, March 3l.-One OF the
fiercest wind storms ever known in this
section struck the city yesterday just be-
fore noon. Almost incalculable damage
was done to property and many people
were injured, some of whom may die.
Scores of houses were unroofed, many
trees blown down, mill stacks toppled
over and telegraph and telephone wires
generally disabled.
The most serious accident was the I'M
roofing of the Presbyterian church in
Knoxville, occupied by about 600 persons.
While the minister was in the midst of
his sermon, the wind blew over the large
chimney and lifted portion of the roof.
Bricks from the chimney crashed
through the roof and carried huge
piece of the hardwood ceiling down upon
the worshipers. A panic ensued and a
frantic rush was made for the doors and
windows. At least 40 persons were
caught by the wreckage and were more
or less seriously hurt. OF the number
five may not recover.
