VERY CLEVER RUSE,

Beadle Woman Alleged to Have
Feixned Suicide to Cover Elope-
ment.
Huron and the surrounding country
was badly torn w recently, by what
appeared al first to be accidental
death, and is now alleged to be the
elopement Of a prominent farmers
wife. Early one morning some farm
ers near the McEarthon ranch in Bea-
die county. found a badly-wrecked
buggy on the bridge crossing the riv-
er. There was every appearance hat
the buggy, which belonged to Nc
Earthon, had been run away with and
wrecked on the bridge and that the
occupant had been thrown over the
rail- into the river and drowned. In
quiry at the home Of McEarthon re-
vealed that Mrs. McEarthon had
driven the buggy out the day before.
and had not been seen since. Her hus-
band was In Chicago, and he was no.
titled by wire. The neighbors, includ-
ing a large number Of prominent peo-
pie, formed a band Of searchers and
spent the entire day In dragging the
river and searching for the body. A
considerable quantity of dynamite
was procured and exploded to bring
the body to the surface.
At last suspicious actions on the part
Of Roy Underhill. a farm hand who
has been employed on the ranch, at
tracted attention, and he was closely
questioned. He gave confused
and at last broke down and confessed
that Mrs. McEarthon was not dead,
but had run away, and he had prom
ised to follow her as soon as the story
Of her death was generally believed.
He stated that he had broken up the
buggy and had carried 1t and arranged
It on the bridge in such a way as to
convince passers-by that an accident
had occurred. He then drove Mrs.
McEarthron over to 1roquois with q
rig which he hired in Huron. The wo-
man took the train at Iroquois. The
arrangement was that he was to re-
turn and wait until the community
was thoroughly convinced Of her death.
when he was to follow her.
Underhill was arrested and is close
ly guarded in the Jail.

WANTS ULTIMATUM SENT TO POPE
POPE NAMES OBJECTIONABLE CON-
DITIONS AND EVADES CUES
TIONS.
CHURCH CONTROL OF SCHOOLS
ONE OF THE DEMANDS MADE IN
RETURN FOR SALE OF FRIAR
LANDS.

Washington, June rs. - A serious
hitch has occurred in the negotiations
between Gov. Taft and the Vatican for
the purchase of the church lands in the
Philippines and a settlement of the
church question in the islands. Secre-
tary Root has received a cable dispatch
from Gov. Taft urging that an ultima
tum be Immediately sent to the pope,
and that in the event of non-compli-
ance with it's terms the negotiations
be broken off.
Gov. Taft cabled at the same time
the full text Of the reply of the Vati-
can to the American propositions. 1t
is very long and evades many of the
questions discussed by Gov. Taft. It
also names Objectionable conditions
which are partly the cause of the pres
ent unsatisfactory situation. One con-
dition demanded by the pope in return
for a sale of the friar's lands is that
the primary public schools in the Phil
ippine stands be under the
Tutelage Of the Church.
This will not be conceded by the Amer
lean government. There are other con-
ditions which Gov. Taft considers
equally Objectionable.
The position AXE by the officers
here is that it is not at all necessary
to negotiate with the pope for the pur-
chase of the lands, but that it was
hoped that the question could be ar
ranged satisfactorily in that way and
not necessitate a long fight in the
courts. The instructions of our gov
eminent to Gov. Taft when he started
on his mission to Rome made 1t clear
at the outset that there must be COM
plete severance of all relations between
church and state in the Philippines.
These relations had become very close
during the reign of the Spanish gov
eminent, and in the opinion of Gov.
Taft were
Partly Responsible
for the situation in the Philippines.
He considered the withdrawal of the
friars essential to the continued peace
in the islands and the settlement of the
land question ar important factor in
the establishment of civil government.
Gov. Taft hoped that it would be
possible to get the pope to adjust the
land questions by negotiation, but 1T IS
now apparent that the Vatican hopes
to secure a recognition of the church in
the islands in return for concessions
to be made to the American govern
ment, and it is his to which Gov. Tart
objects. Should the negotiations be
broker off it will be the policy of the
United States to obtain the property IN
question by proceedings in the Philip
pine courts and pay for such property
as it desires by condemnatory proceed
ings.
Favorable to Spain.
Rome, June 25.-From authoritative
Vatican sources 1t is learned that the
pope is unwilling to disoblige Spain by
acquiescing in the expulsion of the
Spanish friars from Filipino parishes.
This is the cause of the present hitch
in the negotiations.

In the Senate,

Washington. June 20.-An isthmian
canal, while not yet absolutely assured.
is nearer 20 construction than it ever
has been. The n a yesterday, by a
majority Of 8 votes, adopted the Spoon
er substitute for the Hepburn Near
aqua canal oi1l, he vote on the subs.i-
tute being AZ 70 "a. After two amend
ments to the measure nae been adopt
ed, one providing for a commission to
supervise the construction of the canal
and the other providing for the issu-
ance of $3.50, 00o, 900 of 2 per cent gold
bonds to raise money with which to
construct the waterway, it was passed
by a vote of 81 20 6.
1t has been evident for several DAYS
tina the Spooner substitute. which. in
brief, provides that the president shall
selec the Panama route if he can OBJ
tain a clear title to the Panama Canal
company's property, but, otherwise. he
shall adopt the Nicaragua route, would
command the votes of a majority of
the senate. The Panama route was
Considered More Desirable
by the senate than the Nicaragua
route. The only question left open Is
the title to the property and thai the
president will determine, if the house
should adopt the senate's amendment
to it's bill.
The Spooner amendment, as amend
ed n adopted by the senate yester-
day, provides hat the president.
through the law officers of the govern
ment. shall determine whether a clear
title can be obtained of the Panama
company's property, rights and con-
cessions. If he shall be satisfied that
such title car be obtained. he shall
purchase the property, rights and con-
cessions for $40, 900, 900. If, in his opin-
ion. a clear title cannot be obtained. he
snail proceed to construct an isthmian
canal by the Nicaragua route.
The bill further provides that a COM
mission OF seven shall be appointed ov
the president to supervise the work
and to make arrangements for all the
details OF 1t. 1t also provides that gold
bonds In h sum of $3.50, OOO, 900 bearing
. per cent interest, shall be issued to
rrise money with which to construct
the canal.
In h House.
The opening day OF the weeks h r.
on the Philippine government bill in
the house was sigralized by a remark
ably strong and exhaustive speech by
MI. Cooper of Wisconsin, chairman Of
the committee on insular affairs. He
spoke for almost three hours and was
given close attention by both sides OF
the house. Much Of the speech was a
general defense of the policy pursued
by h administration.
Mr.. Jones Of Virginia, the ranking
nembe Of the minority Of tie commit.
tee, made an able presentation Of the
Democratic position, but he yielded the
noor after speaking about an hour ana
