ORATORY WILL STOP.
senate Has Agreed to Commence
Voting ON Railroad Rate
Bill May 4,

Washington, May 1.-THE. senate will
begin voting on the amendments to the
railroad rate bill on Friday, May 4.
An agreement to that effect was reached
Monday, but it proved impossible to
so extend the understanding as to have
it include the fixing of date for TAX
ing final vote on the bill as whole.
Mr.. Tillman first proposed final vote
on May and Mr.. Morgan was the
only senator to make objection. His
opposition was sufficient, however, TO
Illustrate the design, and the next most
feasible course, the disposition OF
amendments, was decided upon. The
The general impression among sena-
tors is that final vote will be reached
within a week from the time Of the
beginning of the consideration Of
amendments. Most Of the time Of the
senate Monday was devoted to listen
ing to a speech by Mr.. Clarke, Of Ar
kansas, in which he criticised the
pending rate bill as Intellectual to rem
edy existing conditions.

fused 70 Permit Grand jury to
Find Indictments.
WAITING COURTS OPINION.
Does Noa Wish OmciaIs Guilty OF
Giving and Accepting Campaign
Money Indicted Until Legal
Question 10 Settled.

New York, May 1.-THE grand Jury
for April upon the completion of Its
term Monday returned presentment
to Recorder COT In which 1t declared
that II had failed TO investigate polit-
Ical contributions by insurance officials
because District Attorney Jerome had
advised the Jury not to do so. The
Jury stated also that 1t had asked Mr..
Jerome for the evidence against the in
surance officials and that he had op-
posed action because he desired first tn
secure an opinion from the appellate
division Of the supreme court of this
state on the question whether such po-
lit1cal contributions constituted lar
oeny. Such an opinion, Mr.. jerome
had told the jury. would be given ear
ly In May and the cases then could be
taken up by a special grand jury
which he had asked for.
Justice Greenbaum, the district at
torney informed the Jury, had already
decided that the contributions were
larceny, but Mr.. Jerome expressed his
doubts whether this ruling would be
sustained by the appellate division.
Mr.. Jerome said It was in order to se-
cure such a ruling before indicting any
Of the insurance officials and attaching
to them an indelible stain that he
took the case against George W. Per-
kins direct to the court instead Of be-
fore the grand Jury In March.
IF Justice Greenbaum's ruling be
sustained" the district attorney said.
ut will be necessary to call as wit
nesses Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer OF
the republican national committee, and
George B. Oortelyou, its chairman and
postmaster general, and indict a large
portion of the officers Of every dnan-
cial institution in this city.
Recorder Cot accepted the present
ment and discharged the Jury but In
formed It that It had not done its full
duty although It had rendered sig
nal service In accentuating the "un-
eoutvocal responsibility which now
rests upon the district attorney"
In his argument to the grand Jury
10 induce 1t to withhold action Mr..
Jerome reviewed his action and that
Of the March grand jury in asking
the court for ruling as to whether
political contributions were criminal.
Mr.. jerome said the courts ruling
was such that the March Jury could
not comprehend H. and decided 10 do
nothing.
IAN indictment Is not stmpiy an 40
cusation In the eyes Of the pubic"
said Mp. jerome. Whatever Is done
with that Indictment It remains and
always will remain a definite ruling"
The court not being willing to
make a definite ruling" he continued,
II was unwilling to present to another
grand Jury the question involved in
the contributions to political funds

Fetching Linen Suit.

Linen suits, made very much like
their cloth compatriots, will be found
to be among the most useful gowns in
a troUsseau. A particularly attractive
gown made of white linen is banded
with coral linen and adorned with
white pearl buttons. A high belt of
linen folded into the surplice- crossed
front of the bodice is smartly strapped
with the coral pink, connecting the
gown with the princess model. Worn
with a guimpe of baby Irish lace, the
gown thus escapes the conventional
tailored effect of most linens and, ac-
companied by smartly trimmed lin
gerie hat, would present the bride upon

would defy criticism, for 1t represents
