At the time there were but two men in

one end of the building when the explo-

however, escaped injury.
One Of the large engines in the plant

McLA URIN AND TILLMAN WILL
NOT BE SUSPENDED.
SEVERE CENSURE PROBABLE
Chairman Burrows Says Subject Should
BE Considered Wholly From Nom
Partisan Standpoint-No Great
Difference of Opinion.
iBy AssocIated press.l

Washington, Feb 26.--The meeting Of
the senate elections committee was
marked by the best of feeling on the
part of all members and all agreed read
lily to Il preliminary suggestion by
Chairman Burrows that the question
should be approached from purely non
partisan standpoint because OF its gen
eral importance.
II was evident, however, that the
democrats were inclined 10 apprehend
some effort at political capital by the
republicans and the channel through
which this was manifested soon became
evident when Senator Foraker made the
suggestion that there should be "A
severer degree of punishment meled out
to Senator Tillman than to Senator Nc
Laurin.
Senator Dubois met this suggestion
with a negative and when the sugges-
tion was afterward made that Senator
Tillman should be called upon TO prove
before the committee that the charge
which he had repeated In the senate that
his colleague had yielded to undue innu-
ence, there was All objection that II this
matter should be entered upon some
senators would'insist upon the reopen

During the morning meeting Of the
committee Senator Bailey notified the
republican members that the democrats
would not submit to the adopting Of the
resolution suspendlng both the South
Carolina senator's. lie said that they
agreed upon the punishment for the
breach Of peace In the senate, but he
was sure that the democrats would not
submit to any proceedings which would
deprive the state OF representation.
Some Of the republican members Of the
committee replied that they agreed as
to the unwisdom and impraeticability .
proceeding by way Of suspension. While
no prospective statement of policy was
made from the republican side, there
was enough said to lead TO the conclI-
sion that the proposed resolution for
suspension had been abandoned and that
the punishment suggested will be In the
form OF censure.
Republican members OF the committee
say that is practically the only course
open to them.
The republicans, however, will contend
for a more severe rcbuke to Mr.. Tilman
than shall be adopted for Mr.. MeLaurn,
and the democrats will resist this dis
elimination.

SIX PEOPLE KILLED AND PILED
UP IN ONE HEAP NEAR WEIGH,
LOUISIANA.
NO MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME
Evidence Goes to Show That It Was
Prearranged Plot But That the Fam
lily Were Surprised at the Usual
Daily Avocation.
(By Associated Press.)

Welch, La, Feb. 26.-Business has
been suspended In this little town. The
murder of six members of the Earl
family has cast an influence over the
whole community which makes the or
dinary affairs of life impossible.
The body of l.. $. Earl, father of the
murdered boys, was found In ditch
near his home, with the throat cut and
the body far gone in putrefaction. There
is every evidence that the murders
were committed as part of prearranged
plot.
The home of Ward Earl, three miles
from here, was some distance from that
of the father. The evidence goes to show
that Ward Earl was first murdered and
then his family were summoned from
the home and then murdered.
Mrs. Earl left piece of sewing in her
machine, when she left home. and the
three children had scattered the cards
with which they were playing about the
floor.
Bodies in Heap.
When the bodies were found they had
been piled in heap with the exception
of that of l.. S. Earl, which had not
been carried to the home of his son.
The bodies of the 'bys had been
thrown into one room. Wards at the
bottom, and upon the heap the body
of Mrs. Earl was cast
The only possible motive which can be
conceived was robbery.
Miss Maud Earl is in a critical con-
dition. Her mind seems to be affected
by the shock to such an extent that she
cannot realize the extent of the tragedy.
The reported arrest Of the suspected
man in Missouri has not been confirmed
as yet.
The funerals OF the six victims will
take place today.
