daughter at Hanford year ago. ended
her own life today. She set fire to a

tempted to shoot her husband, but
missed him and killed her infant
daughter. The knowledge of this COM

the institution on parole and had lived
at the home of her brother ever since.

courts, the inquiry was abruptly termi-
mated.
The suppressions in the Hendricks
report show the phenomenal influence
Hartman, through Odell and Higgins
exerts on the state insurance superin-
intendent. The report made no mem
ton of Hartman deals, yet the testi-
mony tells of stock speculations with
Equitable money; of the diversion and
division of between $15, 100000 and $780,,
600, 900 in the last three years; of a
50,00o,O0O Union Pacific blind pool,
which is directly traced to Hartman
by the testimony Of James H. Hyde.
The report even ran the smoothing
iron over the revelations concerning
Senator Depew.
Hendricks Inquiry Stopped
Hendricks stopped short the moment
the trial of corruption led to Harri-
mans S50,0O0,000 syndicate in Union
Pacific preferred" Since the publica-
ton of the evidence showing what
mammoth proportions the disclosures
might assume If this trial had been
followed up, District Attorney Jerome
has made futile efforts to get trans
cript of the evidence.
Next week the movement to force a
message from Governor Higgins in
favor of the appointment of legisla-
tive commission will come to a head,
when a petition calling for prompt
action will be circulated among mem
bers of both houses of the legislature
and will be sent to the executive.
The Union Pacific preferred" deal
was built on the architectural lines
that seem to have been a hobby with
the ''financiers" of the Equitable. OF all
the schemes that James ]. Hyde and
his associates used in squeezing from
$15, ,00O,0 900 to $40, 100000 out of the syn
dicate's connection with the society, this
was perhaps the boldest in point of ex-
ecution and the greatest in scope and
in the personnel of the talent impli-
Gated in the deal.
This is the deal that led Mr.. Harri-
man to use all the leverage at his
command to stifie inquiry and is the
transaction that is considered the fun
damental cause of the whitewash by
the Frick committee, the lukewarmness
of the Hendricks investigation and the
attempt to thwart a probing by the
state legislature.

NEW YONK, July is.--Senator Will
liam A. Clark Of Montana was operated
upon for an abscess Of the brain at his
home In this city this afternoon. 1t rs
understood that he Is rallying from the
operation and resting comfortably to-
night. A favorable outcome Of the
senator's illness is hoped for. but it will
be several days before an ultimate re-
covery can be assured.
Senator Clark's Immediate family is
in Paris. with the senator at home are
his son-in-law, DR.. Morris, and his
private secretary.
During the evening Senator Clark's
private secretary gave the following
statement to the Associated Press:
lowing to slight trouble with his
middle ear since his former operation
for rnastoiditis, Senator w. A. Clark
decided to have a radical operation per-
formed. This was successfully done
today by DR.. James F. McKern. The
senator is convalescing rapidly and ex-
poets to be about in a few days"
At 11:30 o'clock Senator Clark had
rallied from the operation and was
resting comfortably with every appar-
ent symptom in his favor. 1t was
learned that the present illness has no
connection with or is not resultant
from an attack suffered by the senator
nearly year and half ago, when Mr..
Clark underwent an operation.
Senator Clark never fully recovered,
however, from an attack of pneumonia
contracted just after the operation had
been performed.
In spite of poor health, Mr.. Clark
looked after his immense business in
terests up to three weeks ago, when he
was seized with violent pains in the
left side of his head. These pains con-
tinued internationally and ten days ago
he decided to come to New York that
the cause of his trouble might, If pos
sible be determined and removed. A
week ago he arrived here. The pains
in his head were followed by dis
charge from the left ear. s
An examination by his physicians
showed that an acute inflammation Of
the middle ear, resultant from the at
tack of pneumonia, had never wholly
subsided and that a radical operation
was imperative. An operation for the
removal of the dead bone and the ex-
coriation of the pus that had gathered
In the vicinity of the middle ear was
determined upon and this was per-
formed this afternoon. Besides DR.. Nc
Kern and his assistant, only DR.. Nor
ris was in the room during the opera
tion The skull was trepanned. 1t was
found that the bone of the left ear had
become diseased and pus gathering
had eaten its way through the bone to
the brain, causing an abscess. This
diseased matter was removed.
Senator Clark recovered from the
anaesthetic nicely and later sank into
a refreshing sleep.
