THE AMENDMENT TO ALLOW
THE PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES
IN ALL MARKETS WILL PASS
THE HOUSE.
Publishers Press1

Washington, June 15.-By a vote
of ITO to SO the House today decided
upon a lock canal for Panama. The
action was taken in committee of the
whole during the consideration of the
$25, 100000 provision of the sundry
civil appropriation bill for continual
tion of work on the canal. The Re-
publicans were unanimous for the
lock canal proposition and a number
of Democrats voted with them.
An unsuccessful fight was made by
the Democrats to so amend these ap-
preparations that no supplies for the
canal other than those of American
manufacture can be purchased. Up
on the statement of Republican Floor
Leader Payne, Of New York, that the
Senate joint resolution providing for
the purchase of all materials in the
American markets, unless in the
opinion of the President the prices
for specific articles are too high will
be speedily presented to the House,
the majority voted down the Demo-
cratic proposition.
Only one speech was made on the
canal subject. 1t came after Mr.. Lit
tauer, (Rep. N. W who moved to
amend the appropriation so that no
funds shall be spent upon a canal of
the sea level type. Chairman Burton
of the river and ha~bor committee
then addressed the members for over
an hour upon the desirability of the
lock over the sea level type The sea
level canal will cost S400 900, ,00O
more, and he said consume twenty
years in building. The average width
of the sea level canal will be only
three hundred feet, while the lock ca
nal, which he said can be completed
by 1914 will have width of six hun.
dred feet.

GENERAL CONDITIONS.

The storm center, which was over
Illinois, has moved northward and is
now over Wisconsin and lower Lake
Michigan. Occasional rains are re-
ported from that section. More or
less cloudiness and occasional show
ers still prevail over the Middle At
lantic States and in Eastern Tennes-
see and North Carolina heavy rains
have fallen. Elsewhere fair, but
generally unsettled weather prevails
except in the North Pacific States,
where there is an area of low pres
sure with cloudiness, and rain in the
North Pacific States. In the Missou-
ri valley there is a high pressure area
developing, which will probably move
eastward and southwark and which
will cause fair weather in this vicin-
ity.

versity authorities don't know wheth-
er to be amused or indignant over the
reception which Senator Jonathan P.
Dolliver, of Iowa, gave the degree of
doctor of laws, conferred upon him
Thursday afternoon, at the com.
mencement. Before the Senator ap
peared to deliver the annual address
the college authorities provided him
with a doctors academic gown, which
he dutifully put on.
After he had spoken a short time
he turned to President Benton, an old
friend, and remarked that the. audi
ence was laughing when he hadn't
said anything funny, and he believed
that they were laughing at his gown
Thereupon he deliberately took of
the toggery, threw it in the floor and
concluded his address. At the close
he picked up the gown, but would not
put it on. The Senator said he felt
like he had on bath robe and q
peek-a-boo bonnet.

at Arlington Last Night

L. L. Loeb, of Chicago, known all

food, caused by cloudburst.
Loeb, who had gone West to be-
come cowboy, and who was, at that
time, but a tender foot" was at
Woodlawn Park, Colorado, on that
memorable morning in August when
cloudburst in the Ute Valley was
sweeping down upon the helpless set
tiers who were without means of
warning. Risking his life to warn
them, Loeb started down the valley
and rode at break-necke speed for IL
miles, notifying the settlers and CIV
ing them an opportunity to escape
with their lives.
At the end of his ride, he and his
pony were plunged over Rainbow
Falls, a distance of IT'S feet and he is

JEWS SUFFER TERRIBLY

WOUNDED - SIX THOUSAND
GUARDED BY SOLDIERS.
Publishers Press1

Bielostok, Russia, June 16.-De-
spite the fact that the military and
police patrols were reported earlier
in the day to be guarding all points
of the city, and were said to have
matters we'll in hand, renewed rioting
broke out here Friday evening and
the work of pillaging, numbering and
firing, which begun with the bomb
throwing and the massacre of Jews on
Thursday, is in full swing.
Hourly, peasants, tramps and hooli-
gans are arriving in the city and al
ready thousands of these characters
are in the vicinity of Thursdays dis
turbances, venting their spite on the
Jews.
Burning Many Homes.
Going from house to house, which
have been deserted by their occupants
the Holligans first loot the premises
of their contents and then set fire to
the houses to cover up their bastard
ly work. All the houses robbed and
set fire were formerly occupied by
Jews who fed from the mob's ven
geance. After finishing their work
in the houses the mob turned it's at
tention to the Jewish shops and stores
and as soon as they pilfered the con-
tents, again applied the torch.
Forming in broken columns the
mobs began marching through the
streets, flogging almost to death ev-
cry Jew who happened to cross their
path.
Fifty Jews Dead Already.
Already fifty Jews have been killed
and more than 300 wounded have been
unable to enter the hospitals because
of lack of facilities. The sufferings
of the wounded are beyond descrip
ton.
Their wounds, owing to the lack OF
doctors, and the necessary medicines
are uncared for.
Escaping from the mob's vengeance
six thousand Jews are encamped in a
forest near the town, guarded by
| troops.

The general public interest in the

Among the out of town visitors at the

Francis T. Root and daughter of Con-
nersville. Mr.. Root was loud in his
praise of the work lat has been ac-
complished by til Zen and women at
the head of the art movement in this
city and he pronounced the local ex-
hibit to be one of the best that he has
ever seen.
Work of Loca: Artists.
The exhibit of local artists at the
exhibit this year is of higher stand
ard than at any previous exhibit and
the canvases of the Richmond
group" occupy conspicuous places.
This year J. E. Bundy, the dean of
the local artists, is represented with
only two landscapes. but they are
both splendid examples of this veter-
an landscape artists skill. Both of the
canvases are paintings in oil of woods
interiors and they have exacted most
favorable comment. A local artist re-
marked yesterday that the two pic,
lures exhibited by Mr.. Bundy were
among the best the artist has yet
produced.
George H. Baker, who is rapidly
coming to the front as a landscape
artist, is represented by one oil en-
titled "a May Evening" and two we'll
executed water colors. The work OF
Mrs. Maud Kaufman Eggemeyer is a
revelation. Mrs. Eggemeyer was one
of the honor scholars at the Cincin.
natl Art Institute last year and the
work she has exhibited this year
shows the rapid progress she has
made in her art. In the keramic room
can be seen Blossoms" Iris" and
"Snowballs," the later being consid
cred one of Mrs. Eggemeyer's best
works. 1t is a striking bold study
thrown into splendid relief by bril-
liant background. The other two can
vases are we'll executed studies ir

GETTING S|GNERS
TO A PETITION
Central Union Telephone Com
pany Trying to Influence
City Council.
BUSINESS MEN SIGN PAPER
PHONE COMPANY is ASKING
THAT 1T BE ALLOWED TO GO
UNDERGROUND WITHOUT SIGN
ING A RATE AGREEMENT,

In final attempt to secure from
Council and the Board of Works the
necessary permission before building
an underground plant, the Central
Union Telephone Company is circu-
lating petition among the business
men of the city, asking them to sign
the paper addressed to the Mayor and
the Council, which asks that the re-
quests of the company oe granted.
The whole point of the petition, as
explained by Manager Noah H. Hut
ton, who is in charge is whether or
not the business men of the city be-
lieve that Council has a right to
force the Bell company toestablish
maximum rate clause in the contract
which it asks the city to sign. The
Central Union company has been ask
ing Council to be allowed to place it's
wires underground for several weeks.
but at each meeting, the matter has
been laid over, until finally it was re-
ferred TO the Board OF Public Works
and the City Attorney. A meeting of
the telephone officials and of the city
sented, ready to sign. The city attor-
ney then asked the telephone COM
pany to place in it's contract maxi
mum rate, in order to protect the res
idents in the future.
Many Sign the Petition.
Insisting that it is not receiving
any additional rights, and feeling that
it was not necessary to relinuuish any
of the rights already possessed, as
outlined in the franchise granted
years ago, the company refused to put
in the maximum rate clause The
board then refused to allow the con-
struction of the conduits.
Among the signers of the petition
are son. of the most prominent men
in the city. Bank officials, merchants,
factory presidents, heads of big es-
Establishments, besides DOCTORS law
yers and other professional men
think that the company should not be
compelled to install the maximum
rate clause in it's contract.

Comprehensive Review of the
Legal Status of Much Talk
of Case.
THE OPINION OF GARDNER
CITY ATTORNEY HOLDS THE
VIEW THAT BOARD OF WORKS
HAS VESTED IN 1T SOLE POWER
TO DECIDE.

City Attorney Gardner yesterday
morning submitted to the Board OF
Public Works a written opinion con-
corning the statutory powers of the
board relating to the closing of pub
lie thoroughfares, and in substance
the city attorney holds the view that
! the board has vested in it the sole
power to vacate street; that such
action must not be exercised arbitra-
| rily, but in the intenest of the public:s
! that in the absence of fraud and coll
fusion, courts cannot interfere and al
so that the fact that private corpor-
alton instigated the proceedings to va
cate so that the corporation may use
such vacated part in the extension of
it's premises, does not authorize the
courts to invalidate the ordinance.
Comprehensive Review.
| The opinion is a comprehensive and
altogether thorough review of the le-
gal aspect of the proposed closing of
North Fourteenth Street and was pre-
sented to the board following its de-
cision to defer action until next Thurs
day, which is elsewhere referred to.

The above telegram was received by
the Palladium last night in answer to
a query this paper made of President
Winters, regarding the reported sale
Of the Dayton & Western. There
have been many stories afioat in re-
gard to the transfer of the Dayton and
Western to Eastern interests and the
Palladium desired to give it's readers
the most authentic information possi-
BILE. For this reason the following
telegram was sent to President Win
ters at his home in Dayton:
Valentine Winters, Dayton, o.
Please give the Palladium the
benefit of statement as to wheth-
er or not the Dayton and Western
has been leased or sold to the
.Iidener-Elkins syndicate, as is
persistentIy reported.
MORNING PALLADIUM.
In his reply President Winters gives
the same facts that were presented to
the readers of this paper on Friday
morning. 1t Is now plain that the con-
troll of the road is to be transferred,
but that it will go to the Randall Nor
G.p syndicate. rather than to- the
WYdener-Elkins crowd. The Randall
Morgan syndicate is one of the largest
in the central states and controls
many of the best roads in Ohio and
Indiana.
In addition to the leasing of the
Dayton & Western, the deal which is
now under way. the Morgan syndicate
has purchased outright the Dayton
and Northern traction line, which
runs from Dayton through Greenville
and Winchester to Muncie. A tele-
gram was received yesterday after
noon at the office of Attorney Grafton
G.. Kennedy, in Dayton. from Phila-
delphia, Morgan's headquarters, say
ing that the deal had been closed and
that the money had been turned over
to the stockholders.
D. G. N. Sale was Profitable.
The Dayton G. Northern is not as
good a road as the Dayton and West
ern, and on account of its heavy in
debtedness, did not bring as much as
the d. & w. will. The bonded in
debtedness of the D. & N. is $3.50, 900
IL nd iS eS00 =
900. In addition to assuming the
debts of the company, the syndicate
paid over to the stockholders, $780,
900 in cash, making fine profit for
them. There were about forty stock
holders.
Where Wrong Story Originated.
The Dayton News was the origina-
tor of the story that the Dayton and
Western had been sold to the Wide
ner- -Elkins syndicate. All stories
that have been printed sin other pa
pers to the same effect came from the
columns of the News. The News,
after publishing it's first statement of
n sale, qualified it by saying that the
road had only been leased and in their
edition published last night, tried to
cover up their statements by saying
that the Widener-Elkins syndicate and
the Randall Morgan company is one
and the same.
Telephone communications with
traction officials in Dayton show this
to be a mistake and conjured up to
hide the first bull made by the pa.
per.
