SAN DIEGO, June 27.-Shortly be-
fore midnight last night Rudolph AL
ber, bartender at the Golden Anchor
saloon on the water front, was set upon
by three men who surprised him as he
was about to close the place.
His assailants assaulted him with
beer bottles. cutting him in numerous
places, especially in the head, over
which the bottles were broken.
Alber made a strong defense and
indications point to his having wounded
the intruders.
During the fight practically every
receptacle in the saloon was thrown
down and smashed. The till was
tapped and about sixty dollars was
taken. An unsuccessful attempt was
made to open the safe.
Porter Finds Victim
Not until the porter went to the sa-
loon at o'clock this morning to clean
up was the affair known. He found
Alber lying on the bed, his clothing and
bedding soaked with blood. The in
jured man was hurried to the hospital,
where he now lies in critical con-
dition.
Two of his assailants are said to be
Arthur Acton, who preceded him as
bartender, and VIM. Cardell, a sailor
friend of Acton. The latter is said to
have had a grievance against Alber
since the latter secured his position.
The two men are thought to be flee
ing towards the Mexican line, and a
posse of officers is after them.
The third man, who was evidently
badly injured In the fray, is alleged to
have been secreted by his friends in
this city.

NEW YORK. June 27.-A rumor that
children's throats were being cut in the
public schools resulted in such excite
ment and panic in the lower east side
that ffteeen schools with $4,000 pupils
were closed for the day.
The trouble was caused by operations
performed on several children yesterday
for the removal of adenoids, fungus

The operation is not dangerous one,
but the reports concerning what had
been done spread rapidly today, espe-

DECLARES ABSOLUTE DEADLOCK
Senator Proctor Informs Colleagues
that Conferees Cannot Agree


that Conferees Cannot Agree
BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON June 27--An abso-
lutte deadlock on the meat inspection
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill was reported by Senator
Proctor to the senate late today after
three sessions of the conferees had been
held
The Vermont senator said that the
house conferees had declined to con-
slider any compromise on the subject of
the payment of the cost of inspection
by the packers.
The senate conferees offered to COM
promise, he said, upon a tax of cents
head on cattle and 8 cents on hogs,
sheep and goats, to be collected and
covered into the treasury the same as
any other revenue.
He read the compromise proposition,
showing that the $4,000, 900 appropria-
tion provided by the house would re-
main In the bill and the cost Of inspec-
ton would be paid therefrom.. In reply
to a question from Senator Hale. he
stated that the tax would amount to
about one-half Of the appropriation.
/. Offers Compromise
The third conference of the day had
been concluded short time before
Senator Proctor made his statement.
At that conference he offered the COM
promise proposition which was met by
the house conferees with the argument
that it would be unconstitutional on the
ground that congress has no authority
to levy a. direct tax on chattels.
In making his statement Senator
Proctor said the confereeS had agreed
on practically all items b. that the
house conferees had positively refused
to consider any compromise.
He then related the particulars of the
provision regarding the cost of inspec-
ton and added that the house conferees
had absolutely declined to sign the re-
port unless the house provision shouts
be accepted letter for letter.
He said the effect of the position
taken by the house would be to cause
general arrest of business.
Adjournment Ends Debate
Mr.. Hale then spoke of the gravity of
the situation and advised that the
that might excite feeling.
My impression is that we will do
well to leave it over night where it is
and that we should do nothing to in
flame the situation in the hope that
better counsels will prevail tomorrow. "
Mr.. Hale then, in pursuance of his
suggestion to let the question lie over,
moved an adjournment, but he subse-
quentIy withdrew the motion in order
to pernit the executive session.
