RADICAL TONGUES

YEA, THE HOUSEIS WEARY
The Senate Passes the Ratifca.ions and Imm::-

(By the Associated Press J

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The Democrats
stuck to their filibustering program in
the House today, and even under the OF
Grafton of the special rules adopted yes
terday, the majority's progress with ap
preparation bills and conference reports
was exceedingly slow and laborious. The
Democrats forced a roll call on every
proposition and compelled the reading
in extenso of everything presented. Every
parliamentary expedent was seized to
delay matters and at the end Of q ses-
sion of over nine hours when the House,
completely worn out, at sos O'Clock to-
night took a recess until noon tomorrow
Sunday there was no sign of Demo-
,.ats abating their opposition.
The reading clerks tonight were ex-
hausted by the long strain Of trying to
make themselves heard above the cease
less direction and confusion on the floor.
There were fifteen roll calls and two
calls of the House. The feature OF the
day was the passage of the Senate Omnl-
bus Public Building bill with House
amendments, which later increased the
total carried by the bill to over $6,O00,OOo
The leaders who opposed the Dill dld not
attempt to defeat it, and it was passed
eos to 26 under suspension of the rules.

casion during the debate upon it to charge

Gaines said that other valuable mementCcs
of other days, including a mirror pre-
sented by Count Rochambeau and bronzes

(By the Associated Press. }

Newport News, Va, Feb. 2S.-Trouble
on board the battleship Maine, which is
lying in dry-dock here for repairs, cul
minated tonight in the shooting of one
seaman by q guard of the marines.
It is rumored that the wounded man
died shortly afterwards. All information
relative to the affair is withheld. 1t is
rumored that Captain Lentz is having
some difficulty in maintaining discipline
on the ship, but the officers on board here
virtually isolated the ship, denying out
siders even access to the ship-yard.
Twenty three men deserted the Maine in
the past week. Three Of the runaWayS
were re-captured by the local police to-
day This evening the police sergeant
and enc policeman returned the men to
the ship The sailors refused to go on
board in custody and in a fight that fol-
lowed both of the police were badly
beaten. All of the sailors bear scars of
the battle.
While the fight was in progress sail
ors and marines showered old eggs and
decaved potatoes over the side OF the
warship upon the police.

Bu-dick Appears.
(By the Associated Press J

Buffalo, n. Y, Feb. 2S.-Mrs. Burdick.
the widow of Edwin L. 3urdick, who was
murdered at his home Thursday night
arrived here today from Atlantic City
The police have found the hackman
VINO drove an as yet Unidentified man
to within a few doors of the Burdick resi-
dence about midnight On Thursday plight
They regard this as valuable clew
Another clew in the hands of the au-
thorities is a tuft of hair which was
found in the hand of Mr.. Burdick 1t is
not Of his hair, but whether belonging to
1t IS of a color and texture that will
be easy to match with the hair from
which it was torn.
In the room in which the murdered
man was found the police also found
a paper which had BEEN sent to Mr.. Bur-
dick BY Cleveland woman, contain
ing a story of the granting of a divorce
from her husband. The police learned
that the woman was in Cleveland Thurs
day night and that her former husband
is working in New York or some other
eastern city.
1t was learned today that Mr.. Bur-
dick, whose business took him on fre-
quent trips out of the city knew he
had been shadoWed for some time when
out OF town. This system of espionage
he had said, had been in effect for some
time. and the inference IS that it was
to obtain evidence, if possible, for coun-
ter charges in the divorce proceedings
which had been begun by Mr.. Bur
dick.
The autopsy revealed that there We're
at least eleven wounds on the head five
OF which so serious that any one would
have been sufficient to cause death and
that they had been inflicted by some
blunt instrument.
The location of the wounds indicated
that the victim was in a reclining posi-
tion when the blows were delivered Or
that most of them had been delivered
after he mad been Knocked down. Con-
siderable force had been used, but the
doctors did not pretend to claim that
the force used was greater than might
have been exerted by strong woman. 1t
was evident that the murderer was in
a great state of passion, amounting to
frenzy as the skull had been broken to
pulp in one place and many blows
had been struck.

Especial to News and Observer
Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 2S.-A severe
wind storm played havoc at Gastonia this
morning. AT o'clock $50 feet of the
second story wall at the southeast cor
ner of the Avon Mills was demolished.
One side of the roof was also torn off
along the damaged section. Two opera
tives, Miss Bessie Lay and Miss Sadie
Beatty, were seriously injured. Miss
Beattys limbs were crushed, and Miss
Lays hand and jaw We're broken and
both have dangerous cuts on the head.
Four or five others We're hurt less Sc
riouSly.
The din and thunder of the looms shut
out the roar of the storm and the Oper-
atives were unaware Of their peril until
the wall collapsed. Two men, who were
working against the WALL say that it
burst through where they were as if
struck by batteringram.
The destruction was all accomplished
in a moment apparently by mighty ex-
plosion of wind. The damage to the
building and machinery is about $4,000
q total loss, but the management of the
mill, Messrs. Gray and Love, are far
more concerned about the condition OF
their operatives who were injured.
