pared For Present
Congress.
DELAY IS CRITICIZED

Washington, Jan. 26.-Decided diff
ferences still exist among senators
over the negotiation of an agreement
for the protection of Santo Domingo.
Trouble Is promised before the Incl
dent Is settled to the satisfaction Of
all. Chairman Cullom OF the senate
foreign relations committee expected
to see the president today but was un-
able to do SO. He had a long confer
ence with acting Secretary Of State
Loomis and he told that official Of the
dissatisfaction existing among SEN
Rtors because the treaty was not sub
mitted to them for approval Mr..
Loomis said he would at once prepare
p letter and send it to Mr.. Cullom ex-
planning all the circumstances attend
Ing the negotiation Of an agreement
between the United States and Santo
Domingo showing thatthe agreement
was purely preliminary.
The surprising fact was announced
that the state department could hardly
complete the treaty in time for sub

Of congress. This proposed delay will
be used by many senators to sharply
criticize the president and in urging
ihe adoption of Mr.. Teller's resolution
declaring 1t the sense Of the senate
that no treaty or agreement by the
president with any foreign country is
binding until ratified by the senate.
The facts as related by Mr.. Loomis
worried Mr. Cullom and he held a half
hours conference with Senator Spoon
er late this evening, seeking to arrive
Mt some conclusion as to what should
be done.
It developed today that Senator For
eker, a member of the foreign rela-
tions committee and strong support
er of the administration was respon-
sible for the present sudden change OF
front and the announcement that the
treaty with Santo Domingo would be
cent to the senate when perfected.
After the meeting of the committee,
In which the Democratic members
talked impeachment, Mr.. Foraker ad-
vised the president by telephone OF
the incident.

THE DODGEMORSE
DIVORCE TANGlE.
GRAND JURY HAS COMPLETED
ITS INVESTIGATIONS.
The Report, 1t is Said, viii Contain
Some urprises-Several Indict-
ments Found.

ments Found.
New York, Jan. 26.--Defnite steps
have at last been taken in the Dodge
Morse tangle. The grand jury today
completed it's investigation into the
now famous divorce case, and will
present its findings to Judge McMa-
hon in part of general session tomor-
row.
That this report will contain some
surprises to several persons there
seems no doubt. 1t is stated this
evening that three indictments have
been found. The persons indicted are
alleged to be person who has been
a member of the state judiciary, a
prominent criminal lawyer and a
widely known speculator and flnan-
cier.
Efforts were made on the part of
friends of Mr.. Morse to have the
grand jury's investigation delayed un-
til the ice king should return from
Europe. The jury, however, would
not wait and accordingly continued
its Investigations.
Assistant District Attorneys Rand,
Perkins and Garvin, who have had
complete charge of the prosecutions
end of the case, held several confer
ences today and we're on several oc-
casions called before the grand jury
during the day. 1t was after their
last visit that the statement was
made that the jury had at last de-
cided to act.
The tangle has proved one of the
most remarkable that has been be-
fore the courts in many years. Mrs.
Clemence Cowles Dodge was the wife
of Charles F. Dodge, hotel man of
Atlanta, Ga. She separated from him
and came to New York, where she
started boarding house. Here she
met Charles w. Morse, the million
aire ice king. He engaged her as his
housekeeper and shortly afterward
she obtained a divorce from Dodge
and married Morse.
Then Dodge came forward and
claimed that his divorce should be
set aside on the grounds that the
lawyer who had acted for him was
not his accredited representative and
further that he had not been proper
ly notified in the case. The divorce
was set aside and Mrs. Morse had
her marriage to Morse annulled.
Then new evidence was obtained to
the effect that Dodge had been no
titled and that he had retained the
counsel who had acted for him in
the divorce suit. Mrs. Morse had her
annullment of marriage to Morse set
aside.
The district attorney took the case
up, and found evidences he claims,
of conspiracy, in which Dodge was
involved. He had gone to Texas, but
after a hard fight, extradition papers
were obtained and he was brought
back.
The grand jury's investigation is to
ascertain If possible the names of
those whe were strongly suspected
as being parties in the alleged con-
spiracy in which Dodge was involved.

with dirt all of youngsters in the beachers raised our
voices in glad acclaim. We knew if anybody could hit
the ball he could. With what breathess interest we
watched him as he took his position crouchng panther
like the plate, his bat firmly grpped in his powerful
hands, his keen eye watching the pitcher he wrthed in
the box preparatory to hurting the ball with serpenne
twist at the goved and padded backstop. And when
"Pete found to his liking and let go at it for fair

That was long time ago 'Pete" Browning lived and

control the counting of the votes

methods are described as strenuous
in the extreme. The mayor of

VANCOUVER WANTS
OWN LIGHT PLANT

SEATTLE, Sept. 15.-The sue.
cess of the municipal lighting plant
in Seattle and other cities has in
spired Vancouver, B. Chfi to start
campaign for a municipal plant in
that city.
Mayor Buscombe has secured
from the Seattle lighting depart
ment a large amount of data re-
garding the rates charged here, and
he is convinced that the rates
charged in the Canadian city are
outrageously excessive.
The rate in Vancouver is 13 cents
for the first 40 kilowatt hours. and
II cents for the next 60. In Seattle
the private companies were charg
ing almost as much up to the time
the municipal light plant began &C
tual operation. Then the rate was
reduced to cents and less.
Unless the British Columbia Elec
trio Railway company makes 8
sweeping reduction, Mayor Bus
combe is in favor of establishing q
municipal plant.

MEXICO HOLDS A
DOUBLE CELEBRATION

MEXICO CITY, Mex. Sept. IS
President Porfirio Diaz celebrated
the seventy-fifth anniversary of his
birth today. His birthday is really
on September 80, but for the sake
of convenience the president has
been in the habit for many years
of celebrating his birthday on the
18th, the day before the great cele-
bration of Independence Day. As
usual the president received a dele
CATION from the army, headed by
the minister of war, in the yellow
room of the palace this morning.
Delegations from other depart
ments followed and then came rep
resentatives of the various states.
The meeting between the president
and the delegation from his own
state, Oaxaca, was quite touching.
Later in the day the president re.
ceived the members of the diplo,
matte corps, all of whom rendered
to him the congratulations of their
monarchs or government. 4 =.

Appropriatinq Heavily.

So far the appropriation of $685.
100000 by the preceding congress
has been nearly all paid out to the
former Cuban insurgents. 1t is
claimed by those attacking the ad-
ministration that most of it has
gone to spectators and usurers.
Now the present congress comes
promptly to the fore with authority
to add another loan to the public
debt to pay off an unpaid half of
this so-called apocrypal debt" Not
only the present generation, but
the next, it is contended, will groan
under the burden.
Paying That Army.
There were perhaps $4,000 men
in this army of liberation, a claim
that is disputed. Anyhow, that
number of claimants is provided
for in the estimates. President
Palma is credited with at first not
favoring the payment of the army
at this early stage of the life of the
infant republic, in view Of the abb
sence of school facilities for half
