MASTER PLUMBERS
HOLD THEIR ANNUAL OUTING
 AT LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

About Seventy-flve Members Present From All Parts of the state-Married
 Men Defeat Single Men IA to 1S-- Shore Dinner, After-dinner Speeches and vocal Selections Composed En- Ioymept for the Evening.
 At Lighthouse Point yesterday the master plumbers held their annual shore dinner and their usual jolly good outing. About seventy1ive members were present and the entire number had a time of their lives. One of the principal events of the day outside of the dinner was baseball game be- tween the married men and single men The game lasted eight innings, and the married men won by the close score of 14 to IS, the winning run being made by Wright. The game ended after the eighth inning because Beede, the catch CT of the single men, refused to con tinue on account of several close de cisions which went to the married men The one decision which caused the game to come to a decisive close was in the eighth inning when Wright ran from second base home without touch ing third base. As Umpire Barry did not see the men when he was passing third he thought Wright must have touched the bag, so he decided in favol of the runner. The battery for thu married men was Clinton E. Coe ant P J. Wright; for the single men, New man and Beebe.
 At the dinner, which reflects consider able credit on Mir Butler on account Q it being an extraordinarily fine one, tn members enjoyed themselves with sing ing, cracking jokes and all sorts O other amusements. The toastmaste was NJ, B. Sheehan. and he took hi part fine, introducing the many speak CTS with simple and select words. On of the principal after dinner speaker

MURDER
and LYNCHING
Mountain WiIdS of Indian Ter
Titory the Scene of a
Tragedy.

Oklahoma City Okla, May sat was
learned here today that double muir
der to cover a robbery, followed by a
lynching. has occurred in the wilds Of
the mountains in the Chiekasaw nation.
The affair occurred two weeks ago The
participants in the tragedy were noun
taineers who agreed among themselves
to keep the affair secret.
Two weeks ago an unknown man went
to the home of r T. Tut, who lives near
the base Of the mountains, and demanded
food He was refused by Mrs. Tut, who
found it necessary to enforce her refusal
by the display of a gun. A few days
later a nearby farm which was occupied
by two maiden women was visited, and
the sisters were shot and robbed of 500
in cash NeighbOTs discovered the deed
and a posse was organized. The murderer
was trailed TO the woods, and upon dis
covery was shot in cold blood. Upon the
return of the boys from the woods the
only remarks in response to inquiries
were, well, we guess he will not rob
nor murder anybody else"

FULL AMNESTY

Russian Government Gives Out
a Statement Justifying
Its Course.

St Petersburg, May 23.-The follow
ing official statement of the government
justifying the refusal to grant plenary
amnesty was given out tonight and
made punishable in all the papers of
Russia tomorrow morning:
The question of full political am
nesty which has been raised in parIia-
ment and which is included in the low
eT house address to the emperor and
supporters by several organs of the
Russian press is far from meeting with
q sympathetic response from all sec
lions Of Russian society.
1T is impossible TO avoid noticing a
strong current of feeling against full
amnesty in different classes of the pop
ulation- where, it is pointed out. poIit-
iCaI assaSsinatiOns DO not cease. News
is daily teIegraphed from the provinces
Of fresh murders or attempts to muir
der officials In the presence of such an
hTeCOnciIable disposition on the part of
the adopts of the teiTOTists societies the
government CannOt expose the peace
full right thinking section of the pOpu-
latiOn to danger. The gov eminent can
not refrain from bringing to justice
terrOrists and bomb throwers. It can
rot deliver from punishment by judi
ciaI sentence people who have commit

crimes.

SENATOR BURTON
WILL NOT RESIGN
Convicted KanSan Trying to
Prevent Action Being
Taken by Senate.

Washington. May 23.-At the request
of Senator Burton, whose case recently
has been decided by the supreme court
4 conference was held today
between himself and the chairman Of
the senate committee on privileges and
elections, Senator Burrows. The OBJ
ject of the Kansas senator was to gain
some knowledge of the proposed pro-
ceduTe by Senator Burrows committee
regarding the resolution introduced by
Senator Hale. Senator Burton does not
contemplate resigning. The fact that
a stay has been granted by the su-
preme court granting him sixty days
in which to file an application for re
hearing leaves his status, he contends,
Just where it was previous TO the de-
cision of the court and that no action
is necessary by the senate that would
lot have been necessary before the re-
cent opinion was rendered Senator
Burrows said the committee would take
all these questions into consideration
when it met to take up the resolution.

Richfield, May 25.-The railroad bridge
between E1sinore and Joseph was washed

straight I also requested Governor Ma
COON to make no suggestions to Secretary
Taft, but I note from his CabIegram to
Mr. Cromwell that he was under the i'm
preston that I desired him TO recommend
my retention as an engineer member Of
the commission, and this despite the fact
that Governor Mag0on assured me he
would regard the subject as confidential
and give me an opportunity of first pre-
senting the matter to Secretary Taft in
a personal interview The breach Of con-
