BEvERIDGE IS POPULAR
JUNIOR INDIANA SENATOR IN GREAT
DEMAND SOCIALLY.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington. d. G..

Washington, ID. c.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Be-
veridge, of Indiana, is undoubtedly the
most popular man in the senate in So
cial way. He is really the only one In
his class. He is young, good-looking-the
women say very good-looking-a widow
er, well dressed always, knows which
forks to use, is an entertaining dinner
companion-again the women say "a bril-
liant converSationalist''- with about
as good prospects as a reasonable Wom-
an could ask. In a word, he is looked
upon as eligible. He has no large amount
of money; but with his salary and writ
ing, and perhaps few law fees on the
side, he manages to get together SIC, 900
or $4,000 year on which to live And
he believes In living well. He has un-
usually good taste in the matter of fur
nishing, and his apartment at the Port
land is known for its rugs, hangings and
bric-a-brac collected on his travels The
gossips are all watching and chattering,
ready if he looks twice at a girl to pre-
dict something in the matrimonial line.
Some of the dowagers and senator's
wives have taken him in tow, and are
doing their prettiest to match him with
some very rich and very good-looking
girl.
There are two or three rich widows in
the Washington smart set who would no
tor1ously like to be Mrs. Senator Be
veridge; but none Of them has been given
any appreciable reason to expect such
gchange of state. The young senator af-
fects to scorn all society with high and
mighty scorn; but his professions are not
supported by his conduct for he goes
about seven days in the week.

TRANQUIL IN MANILA
GOV. TAFT SAYS APPREHENSION DIT
TREACHERY is UN-
JUSTIFIED
SECRET SOCIETIES ARE FEARED
At Least One of Them Was Organ
ized for the Express Pur-
pose OF Assassina-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Gov. Taft OF
the Philippines, today continued his dis
cussion of the question of tranquility in
the archipelago before the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines. He, said that
the recent massacre of troops in Samar
had Startling effect upon the army and
created suspicion and fear of treachery
in other sections. The governor did not
think, however, such apprehension justi-
fed and said he felt as safe in Manila as
in Washington. Civilians seldom carry
arms there.
With this remark Gov.Taft passed from
the consideration of the question of tran
quillity to a discussion of the treason and
sedition laws. In this connection he said
that while Manila is quiet and had been
practically so ever since the American
occupation it is still used as a center Of
agencies for the promotion of inSurrec-
ton. There was always there party
of irreconcilalbles Nothing had, he said,
been done for the enactment Of such laws
until the establishment of the civil gov
eminent. 1t then became evident. that the
Filipino junta was preparing to locate In
that city making that point the center
thereupon directed to prepare law on
that subject and had done so. The de-
nunciation of the secret societies had been
inserted, he said, because they had been
made the chief instrument OF agitation
against the United States.
The commission had felt that secret So
cieties were one of the most fruitful
aids to the war. and had taken the posi-
ton that political agitation should be
confined to open meetings and prevented
in ca Unbound societies. If the people
understood the question there would be
no objection to peaceable agitation, but
under the circumstances the commission
had felt that 'sthe suspension of the right
to advocate independence was not such
a deprivation of the right of free speech
as could not be justified by the presence
Of war, when for the benefit of the whole
people it should be suppressed
At least one of the societies had for
one of its main purposes assassination,
being thus like the Malta.
"In other words, it was a quasi war
measure" suggested Senator Beverage,
and Gov. Taft aSsented.
Replying to a question from Senator
Patterson as to whether it was the in
tention to go farther in this direction,
Gov. Taft replied:
1--WE propose to do all that we can do
that is known to civilized nations to put
down this war, which such a great injury
to the Philippine people
He said he had not given personal at
tention to the phraseology of the sedi-
tien laws, and he had no doubt that
when peace should be restored section 10
would be repealed.

LONGS BODY is FOUND
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN MUIR
DERED AND THROWN FROM
BRIDGE.

KANSAS CITY, Feb 1S.-The body of
Moan Long. the old man who, accord
n2i to Rhoda Taylor's confession, after

was thrown from the Old Southern
bridge, which spans the Kaw river be-
tween Argentine and Armourda1e, was
FOUND today not twenty feet from the
spot indicated by the wonlan's confes-
SION. There were no wounds on the
body and the doctors who held an autop-
sy over the body decided that Longs
Geath was caused by drowning. The
body was found by some laborers who
were trying to release some sand scows
from the ice. They will receive the $500
reward offered for the body.
The coroner Immediately summoned q
jury which will hold an inquest to-
morrow.
The finding Of the body corroborates
the statement of Rhoda Taylor that the
old man after being robbed Of the $21O
pension money which he had received
that day was thrown into the river.
Henry Donohue Jr., and James Golf, ac-
cording to the confession. threw Long
into the river, but David Moran, Mar
Jorle Donohue, and Rhoda Taylor were
all parties to the robbery and all are
held on suspicion of completely in the
murder. Their preliminary hearing is
set for next Wednesday.

no surprise Accordingly a collection was
taken up, and fund raised which was
not far from 100000. 1t was not less,
and it might have been more This fund
was placed in the hands of a Chicago
lawyer who had done considerable work
for the oleo makers. He had his instruc-
tons and knew his business. Some at
torneys in Washington were hired by
this Chicago attorney, and they made
their appearance before the committee
and did their little stunt. It was all very
proper and above board
But the story is in the sequel. The COM
mittee, it is now claimed, was never cor
rupted Certain it is that, after consid-
cradle delay, and much argument, they
reported out the bill wanted by the dairy
people. Now the question arises, did some
of the members take money and then not
Z "stay bought" or, as it is now averred
did they maintain their honor unblem-
ished for lack of an opportunity to sin?
The man who tells the story says the
committee never had chance to take
money. The lawyer who had been trust
ed with the delicate task of distributing
it where he thought it would do the most
good, had chosen himself as the party
most needing that kind Of corrupting
The trick is not a new one. The only re-
markable feature DIS that a mistake should
have been made in the choice of the man
~ w TIC DUSIuSSS.
AS the story is told, 1t was not until
the early part of this session that the
oleo makers became convinced that they
had been buncoed. 1t is a delicate mat
ter to discover whether a congressman
has taken money; he does not admit it to
every stranger, and a denial is expected
even if he had received it. But there are
ways of finding out, and in the course OF
time the manufacturers of artificial but
ter became convinced that their money
had not been used on the committee
Naturally they have no remedy. A
lawyer who is hired to bride a legislature
must not be asked to furnish receipts.
The whole transaction is necessarily one
entirely upon honor" So the only re-
suit DIS one lawyer suddenly made rich
But when the hat was passed this time
to raise a fund to head off oleo legislation
in congress the reply of these gentlemen
was: Nothing doing" A few Of the
firms have acted on their own individual
responsibility. The local Washington
manufacturers had hearing before the
committee; but there was no fund to pro-
mote or kill legislation. In choice of
evils they prefer the legislative highway

The order gives A. N. G. Treadgold,
Sir Thomas Tancred and other members

utaries This includes Eldorado creek the
richest in the world. This- leaves Of the
paying creeks only Dominion, Gold Run
and Sulphur and Indian river that will

The trouble arose over the granting by
the Dominion government of certain con-
cessions to Mr.. Treadgold and others for
diverting the waters of the klondilxe
river to be used for mining purposes. The
con pany must supply certain quantity
of water at certain price to miners.
The particular ground Of objections is
as to the company getting the abandoned
claims on Bonanza and some of the triu-
utary creeks But before they get these
claims a very large amount of money will
be required to be expended by the COM
pany. Commissioner Ross, Of the Yukon,
is now on his way here and the matter
will no doubt come up for discussion, and
if it is shown that any rights Of the
miners or general public are interfered
with the affair will be properly adjusted.

noon, in the inquiry into the alleged coll

Black, of Cincinnati, the purchaser of
the land, took the stand and denied any
collision between him and the other bid
ders. He said ]. c. Hallun, Of Mime

who wanted some of the land, had sent
word that they wanted to confer with
him, but he refused to see either Of them.
Black also stated that after the sale was

Richland county, Hallum and others were
aggrieved because they had got none OF
the land, he had given them $500 to pay
their expenses to the city, after consult
ing with Register McGillivray, of the land

ter for him to have friends in this state
than enemies. He paid his respect to the
men who had taken his money as a graf

company that had bought the land was
composed of Judson Harmon, of Cinci1-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1S.-To the
surprise of many people IN congress the
wealthy manufacturers of oleomargarine
have made practically no effort to de-
feat the legislation pushed by the dairy
interests, the avowed objects of which
is to tax cleo out-of existence and thus
relieve butter from a competition which
threatens to be disastrous Last session
the oleo makers were represented by
attorneys and lobbyists, and members in
congress made a most aggressive cam
paign to defeat the bill. They did not
succeed in the house, but the legislation
died natural death in the senate.
But this year there have been no law
yers to argue before the house commit

has gone almost by default. In explain

Sept last. and that she has been hand

The dispatch adds that "Rev. Tsilka

plicity in the kidnapping of Miss Stone.''
The companion in captivity Of Miss
Stone was Nine. K. 1silka, q BuIga-
rian woman, wife of Mr.. Tsillxa, a Mace

while travelling with Nine Tsilka and a
party of about fifteen friends, was cap
tured by brigands in the district of Sa-
lonica, Sept. 8. Since that time vigorous
EFFORTS have been made by the United
states government and by missionaries to
obtain the release of the captives. The
br1gandS demanded a ransom Of e25, 900
