EARLY Report on Smoot.
1t is believed to be the purpose Of
ator Burrows of Michigan chairman, to
make an early report on the Smoot case.
The inquiry into this case has now oc-
cupied about two years, and has been
very exhaustive. Senator Burrows is
said to have devoted himself during
practically all of the summer to a study.
of the testimony and the preparation OF
rough draft of the committee g report,
which, suggests that the committee,
gress. last March, knew pretty well
what it was going to do. No guess is
being made here as to which way the
committee will decide. In Michigan,
however, there is a feeling that the
decision will be against Smoot. :. A two
thirds majority of the senate will be re-
quired in support Of that decision be-
fore Smoot can be unseated. &.
During the summer many bulky petit
tions have reached Washington bearing
on the Smoot case. Nearly all of these
have come from the good women of the
W. G. T. U. and kindred bodies One
monster petition, carrying 100000
names, is said to be in course of com
pletion for dispatch to the capitol
These petitions, of course, are not 60
ing to influence the senate in it's action
The question, at issue is purely one of
fact, with which the country at large
read the reports of them, cannot posi-
| bly, be familiar. No polygamy was
traced home to Smoot, but it was es
tablished that he had knowledge that
| polygamous relations were being main
tanned by certain influential members
of the church, and that he continued tc
associate with these people, and took nc
own, private life seems to be as clear
as that of any other highs grade Ameri
can citizen.
Things Get Hot for the Senate.
The senate has been under pretty
not fire for several years past, and out
of numerous indictments of it's mem
bers for various crimes against the law
OF the land, one member has at las
been sentenced to the penitentiary. In
dlctments of another member are still
pending on appeal GLOWING conviction
In, addition to the disgrace attendin,
such state of affairs and widesprea,,
lack of public confidence in the senate )
patriotism, that body has come in for
good deal Of sharp criticism in tn
widely read Lawson articles, in the las
OF which it is alleged that Senate
CLARK OF Montana was shown a signe
list. OF names of senators, forming
majority of that body, who were friend
y to Standard Oil, and that this list in
duced him to ally himself with tn
Rockefeller interests. Some temporar
1 offset to. this general onslaught Of crit
1c1sm might possibly be secured if tn
senate. becoming suddenly goody-goody
were, IN compliance with the W. C.
y. demand. to expel Smoot. Some O
Smoot's friends profess to fear such,
thing may happen, but they are prof.
ably lnslncere in taking such position
1t IS not yet apparent that the senate

about it are true, is capable of maxim

journal Special Service
Dayton, Ohio, Nov 11.-Holmes, the
arch murderer Of Chicago, who few
years ago startled the entire country
example for DR.. Oliver Haugh of this
city, who is now confined in the county
jail on the suspicion of having muir
dered his father, mother and brother
and then burned the house in an ef-
fort to destroy ell evidence Of his
guilt.
Holmes was physician, as was
Haugh, saltho the former was not prac-
titioner Haugh also, as was the case
with his predecessor in crime, is &C
cused of using his scientific knowledge
in the determination Of his family and
several women with whom he lived.
The developments indicate that in
addition to numbering his parents and
brother at their home near Chambers
burg, north Of this city, last Sunday
he was also responsible for the death
Of at least two, and probably three
other persons. Two of the supposed
victims were women with whom she
lived, and if reports are to be relied on
was living with his present wife, who
now lives in this city. So, in addition
to being an accused murderer, with
which crime he now stands charged, he
was also a bigamist. ~.
Haugh was arraigned before Magis,
trate Holderman yesterday on. three
charges of murder in the first degree
He pleaded not guilty to each Of the
| charges thru his attorney, Harry Nolan
and waving examination, was bound
over to the grand jury without bond.
The formal Indictment charges Haugf
with administering a poisonous drug
hyocine-hydro nitrate, with intent tc
kill and murder. During the proceed
ings attending his arrai gnment, Haugl
frequently interrupted with appeals fo1
morphine.

HEGEMAN GAVE
TO DEFEAT BRYAN
Metropolitan Lies Policyholders
Contributed to Republican
Campaign Fund.

New York, Nov. 11.-Closing the ses-
sions of the week the Armstrong com
mittee of insurance investigation has IN
d its possession a mass of details and hg-
ures which, while of apparent little
interest to the laity, is OF lnestlmable
value to the committee. ..
The greater part of the week has
been devoted to the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company, the examinations
of President Hegeman and James M.
Craig, the actuary Of the company, be-
ing of a mosb technical nature. When
adjournment was taken late yesterday
the committee had not finished the eX-
animation of Mr.. Hegeman and he Will
be~called again next week.
Campaign Funds.
President Hegeman said that his com
pany had made two campaign contrl-
buttons, and they were in 1896, when
$1,000 was G ven to the Palmer and
Buckner gold democrat managers, and
$500 to the republican national COM
mittee. These contributions were made,
he said, with the approval of the
finance board and were more a moral
than political move to assist in de-
feating the "16 to I heresy.'
Mr.. Hegeman testified that the Met
ropolitan company had paid money to
Andrew Hamilton, "legislative agent.
A statement was produced showing that
Hamilton had received from 1892 tC
1904, for services, the sum Of $50, 295
Hamilton "worked' in a number OF
states and his duties were similar tc
those he pursued for the other insur
ance companies.
A statement was produced showing
that Andrew Hamilton had been unde,
annual retainer of ST 900 from May 13
1892, and from that date to May 5
1904, had received for special services
and retainers the aggregate sum Of
$35 ,295. No other persons were pait
for any work in connection with mat
ters of litigation beside Hamilton an(
those he retained, said Mr.. Hegeman.

Howard, Jr., writer who has been EN-
ployed by the Mutual Life, was Gale,
to the stand. He identified voucher
that he had signed for money receive,
for writing advertisements and read

Mr.. Howard afforded much amuse
ment by his declaration that his onl
regret was that he could not sign NOR

was that he was not paid enough ia

piled with adequate funds and great
mass of socialistic literature by ''The
American Friends of Russia,' Of which
Charles w. Folk and Julia Ward Howe
are respectively president and vice
president; by the ''committee of the
revolutionist socialist party of New
York, branch of the famous Russia
organization, and by other similar So
