VOTE THIS WEEK ON
DOMINICAN TREATY
Senators Do Not Expect a
Party Lineup on the
Measure

WASHINGTON, March 11-Many
senators are INDUCING in speculation
as to the length of the session required
to take action on the Santo Domingo
treaty and whether party lines will be
drawn when the convention comes to a
vote. Thus far 1t has not developed
that either party will caucus, and in
fact SO much Indifference as to the
fate of the treaty has been manifested
except in small circles of both parties
that it is not believed there will be
any attempt to lineup the forces.
Nearly all senators seen today ex-
pressed the opinion that if there should
not be lineup (and they are agreed
that one is not likely the treaty will
be brought to a vote by the end of
next week and that the special session
may be adjourned sine die on Satur-
day.
The amendment made by Senator
Hale Saturday terminating the pro-
ceedings under the treaty at the ex-
piradon of ten years unless extended
by another treaty, If adopted, will sat-
isfy at least three Republican men,
bers who have been disposed to vote
against the ratification of the treaty.
1t is believed that this amendment will
bring at least five Democratic votes for
the treaty. One Democrat said today
that with the amendments adopted in
the committee and that suggested by
Senator Hale, the treaty is in as good
condition as could be demanded by his
party and the question now to be con-
sidered is whether the party will vote
for a treaty in any form which propos-
es that the United States shall take
over the management of the financial
affairs of another government.

YOUNG WOMAN PRESENTS
A PROFOUND MYSTERY
Released From Private Sanitarium and
Goes to Belgium

NEW YORK, March 11-Mabel
Spang, daughter of Charles S. Spang,
a wealthy manufacturer of Pittsburg,
Pa, who was renanded to a private
sanitarium in Yonkers Jan. 10, by order
of Supreme Court Judge Marean, has
been released and is now said to be in
Brussels.
Miss Spang's case attracted consid-
cradle notice in January when man
in this city whom she did not even
know brought habeas corpus proceed
ings before Judge Marean seeking to
have the young woman released from
confinement alleged to be uncalled for
by any mental ailment. Her restraint
In the sanitarium was the result of
proceedings which the court refused to
make public and after several hearings
Judge Marean refused to order her re-
lease. 1t is stated that she was re-
leased, however, two weeks later, the
entire affair remaining a mystery.

School for Child Wives

CHICAGO, March ia school or at
least special room for child wives
may be established by the Chicago
board of education as a result of in
vestigations completed today by the
compulsory education department. The
search for wives of compulsory school
age was made by superintendent Bo-
dine, and, ii is stated, has been more
fruitful than even the school officials
expected. More than a score OF wives
under the age of IA years are said to
have been found in one Italian tene-
ment district alone. The investigation
also is said to have proved the exis-
tence of traffic in child wives be-
tween this country and Europe. A
majority of the school trustees hold
that unmarried school girls should not
be put in the same classes with the So
called child wives

TERRORIST IS SLAIN
BY HIS OWN BOMB
New Light on Hotel Bristol
Explosion in St. Pc
tersburg

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1.-THE
explosion of bomb at the Hotel Bris-
tol adjoining the Hotel D'Angleterre
here just before daylight this morning
blew to atoms the owner of the bomb,
man with an English passport and
giving the name of Alfred Henry Nc
Cuilough, and wrecked the adjoining
rooms, killing the wife of an officer
and injuring several other dodgers. The
explosion was heard blocks away and
created a tremendous sensation. There
is not the slightest doubt that the man
killed was connected with terrorist
plots.
The bomb was of the same power
as those which killed the late minister
of the interior, Won Plehve, and Grand
Duke Sergius, creating the same havoc
as did the explosion at the Hotel Du
Nord last spring. The police believe
that Mccullough was either packing
his effects, as the Hotel Bristol was 10
be vacated today, or preparing for
some desperate enterprise today when
the bomb, which, like all the Internal
machines of the terroristS was pro-
vided with gravity tubes, fell and ex-
ploded as the one at the Hotel Du Nord
did. The police Immediately surround
ed the hotel with mounted gendarmes,
allowing no one within fifty PAGES.
Mystery Marked His Ways
At the Hotel De Paris where he had
been stopping from time to time since
the middle of January, Mccullough
was described as a very intelligent
looking man between 80 and 40 years
of age, resembling more a Frenchman
than an Englishman, speaking French
with the fiuency of a native. He also
spoke English. Just before Grand
Duke, Sergius was assassinated the
man was absent for two DAYS, which
might connect him directly with the
grand dukes murder Mccullough
professed to be engaged In business,
but his movements were mysterious.
Some OF the police are inclined TO think
Mccullough was a direct emissary of
the Paris revolutionary organization.
The police now believe Mccullough
was charging the bomb when it ex-
ploded. AT the British embassy and
consulate Mccullough is unknown. 1t
is not believed he was a British SUBJ
ject.
