Committee of the Whole.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE House on
convening today resolved itself into a
committee of the whole for the consid-
Grafton of the pension appropriation
bill.
Dinsmore, Democrat, of Arkansas,
who was recognized for an hour, took
occasion to speak on the Republic of
Panama. Referring to the provisions
of the Panama Canal bill he declared
that the President made no pretense
to Obeying the law. The country has
come upon evil times when the execu-
tive power can usurp and cast aside
the express wish of Congress declared
in the law. Hit, Republican, of Illi-
nois, chairman of the committee on
foreign affairs, said he was astonished
at the remarks of the gentleman from
Arkansas. Such an attack on the gov.
ernment has not been made by any
foreigner in discussing it's action. He
vigorously defended the administra-
ton all references to the President
being loudly applauded on the Repub-
lican side.

MURDER AND ARSON
ARE SUSPECTED
Boarding House at Tower Is
Burned, One Man Being
Killed and Three Missing.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 27.-As a re-
suit of the burning of Thomas saloon
and boarding house at Tower at 4:30 a.
m. today, Thomas Gheen, pilot on the
steamer Odd Fellow, was burned to
death and twenty-five guests, asleep
in the building, narrowly escaped Gre
nation. Frank Thomas, teamste ter,
was seriously burned about the face.
Three other occupants of the place are
missing.
A half brother of Gheen, who was
sleeping with him, says he was awak-
ened by the smoke and Gheen arose
and said he would escape by the win
dow. Gheen's charred body was identi-
fed by rings that were found when the
remains were dug out of the ruins.
The pine building was enveloped in
flames in a few minutes and the gown
ed sleepers leaped from the windows
along the entire length of the second
story. All lost their clothing. 1t is re-
ported that several had rolls of bills,
the result Of pay day on the oath.
The theory is entertained by some
Tower people that murder was COM
mitted and the murderer fired the
premises to escape under cover of the
excitement and hide the evidences of
his crime. The mercury registered %
degrees below zero at the time. The
suffering of the guests was terrible.
None of them had time to properly
clothe themselves before getting out
Of the burning building.
The missing men We're strangers in
Tower, and their names could not be
ascertained tonight. The theory of
murder is based on the fact that one
man appeared fully clothed early after
the discovery of the fire and has since
gone to another range town. He is un-
der surveillance

TELLS SEVERELY
ON GEN. WOOD
Witness Says Wood Was Party
to Publication of Article At
tackinq Gen. Brooke.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.-The
senate committee on military affairs
today heard Maj. James E. Runcie, of
Havana, probably the most important
witness that will be offered by the op-
ponents of Gen. Leonard Wood In their
attempt to prevent his confirmation to
be major general. Maj. Runcie told the
committee Of dinner at Santiago,
Cuba, attended by himself Gen. Wood
and Ray Stannard Baker, newspaper
man. at which. 1t is alleged, was
planned the magazine article attacking
Maj. Gen. Brooke that has figured con-
spicuously in the Wood case. Maj.
Runcie'S story resulted in the issue of
subpoenas for three other witnesses,
among whom Is Gen. Brooke.
Maj. Runcie explained that he had
acted as the confidential adviser Of
Gen. Wood for nearly two years and
It was while they were living in the
same house that Mr.. Baker went to
Santiago in search of material for a
magazine article. A meeting was ar
ranged between the men and dinner
followed. testified Maj. Runcie, at
which they discussed the plan to have
published an article which would ex-
ploit the success of Gen. Wood in deal
ing with affairs at Santiago and draw
comparison with the situation at
Havana unfavorable ito the administra-
ton of Gen. Brooke,
Maj. Runcie declared that Gen. Wood
asked him to write the article and that
he had done so. The article was given
to Baker and published in February,
1900, over the name of Maj. Runcie.
He asserted that Gen. Wood knew what
the article contained and that they had
corresponded about 1t as the result Of
the furor created by it's publication.

TAKEN EARLY YBY REDS
White Woman Is Found Among
South Dakota indians.

PIERRE, S. D., Nov. 27.-While on
a rcent hunting trip into the western
part of the state Gov. Herreid at Cher
ry Creek subagency learned of the ex-
istence of a white woman among a
band of Indians on that creek. On re-
quest of the governor Agent Warner
sent out one Of the police captains
and had the woman brought in for a
conference. She came reluctantly, as
she evidently feared that an attempt
was to be made to take her from her
Indian home. The woman, who is
about sixty years old, is the wife Of
Red Prairie Dog, one Of the reserva-
ton Indians, and could neither speak
nor understand the English language.
When FIRST brought in she stated
through the interpreter that she was
not white, but Indian, but on being
assured that no move was to be made
to take her from her family she said
that her father was white, but her
mother Indian; that she had no desire
to live among the whites, as the In
dams were her people and that all her
children were Indian. The woman has
all the appearance of being full white,
her eyes being blue, and her hair light
where it has not turned gray, while her
complexion is light.
The Indian tradition about this wom-
an is that sixty years ago, when she
was mere babe, she was all which
was left alive out of an emigrant train
which was attacked far south of here,
and that she was adopted by an Indian
woman. She grew up among the In
dians, adopting all their ways, and,
aside from the color of her skin, is as
much of an Indian in her traits and
characteristics as any of them.

come millionaire through chance in
vestment of few hundred dollars in
the Texas old field. Some time ago he
acquired tract of $50 acres of land

was practically of no use except for
pasturage.
A few weeks ago gusher oil well
was brought in at Batson Prairie, with

oil field has been the scene Of the Wild
est excitement since then, and a town
of 1000 people has sprung up at Batson
Prairie, where there was only one store
building prior to the discovery of OIL
and Mr.. Allen could sell his entire tract
at $4,000 per acre, but it is said he Is
holding it for $4,000 per acre, which
would bring him fortune Of $1,750,OOO.

PANAMA, Nov. 27.-The plan out
lined in these dispatches yesterday by
which the treaty was to be signed and
dispatched to Washington on the day
Of it's arrival has been abandoned be-
cause it is feared that such rapidity Of
action might give the impression that
the treaty had been hastily and made
quately considered and thus lay the
members of the junta open to criti-
cism. 1t is certain, however, that the
treaty will be ratified without the
slightest opposition,
In governmental circles here 1t is
now said that the junta, as soon as the
treaty has been ratified, will address
note to Secretary Hay asking that ST.

shall be transferred in such a manner

John Alexander Dowie's Zion City,

costly buildings, may soon be sold to

Land company, whose home is at 327
Prior avenue.
Elijah" must pay note Of $4,000
which matured last July, or the st.
Paul man will commence foreclosure
proceedings in one of the Cook county
courts. This ultimatum was sent to
the "divine healer" a few days ago
and unless there is a settlement ef-
fected at once Mr.. Hammond will at
tempt to get control Of the property
which was given to secure the note.
Three years ago, when Dowie was
hard pressed for coin, he borrowed
$4,000 from S. N. Cole, of Corinne,
Utah. The note was secured by the
original Dowie farm, on which prop
erty. Zion City was built. Last May,
j. G. Hammond bought the Dowie pa
per from Mr.. Cole and on July 10 the
note fell due. Since then Mr.. Ham
