little town of Balaton. Hungary. Two
brothers named Bella and Pista Plstatjowfch
fell in love with the same woman. beau

elder one, Bella.
A few days ago. on the eve Of their mar
riage, the young couple were out walking
together. when the younger brother stepped
out from some bushes by the roadside and
in a solemn tone. asked the girl to recon
slider her decision. This she refused to do,
whereupon Pista drew knife and plunged
1t into the girl, who fell dead.
A terrible struggle took place between
the two brothers. ending in the defeat OF

Grenberg, who was tried in the district

charge of poisoning Halvord Nymar
and acquitted on the ground of insanity
was paroled from the insane Hospital

The hospital authorities find he is not
insane, and have referred the question
Of his complete discharge to the board

Grenberg confessed that he gave Ny
man poison in order to secure his farm,
but as Nyman was very low at the time.
there was some question as to whether
the poison caused his death. The de-
tense also raised the question as to
whether Grenberg was mentally respon-
sible at the time he committed the

1t was shown that he was bounded

a life contract to support. was cross
and disagreeable, and the jury. dislik-
ing to convict him and feeling som
doubt as to his mental responsibility,
decided to find him insane. He has

it had asked Mr.. Jerome for the evil

and that he had opposed action because
he desired first to secure an opinion
from the appellate division of the state
supreme court whether such political
contributions constitute larceny.
Justice Greenbaum had already de.

are not affiliated with the lake carriers.
In the port of Cleveland 1000 men
are directly affected, 1000 of whom are
seamen. If the strike continues any
length of time, however, the men in
the independent furnaces will in all
likelihood, be thrown out for lack of
pig iron and it is said that there is more
than chance that some Of the steel
mills will have to shut down.
1t is estimated that if the strike lasts
for one month 10000 men in Cleveland
alone will be thrown out of work.

mo COMPROMISE
ON The RATE BILL
President Firm, Deeming Modifi-
cation Surrender Date Set
for Amendment Debate.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May There is some
expectation that the general debate on
the rate bill may exhaust itself this
week, permitting an agreement as to
when the bill and pending amendments
can be brought to vote. Not few
senators express the belief that the date
may be made this week, perhaps b.
later than about the middle of May.
Even as early a date as this will
carry the session of congress far into
June, and perhaps into early July, for
the accumulated business of many weeks
must be disposed of by the senate af-
ter the rate question is out of the way.
Nelson Gets Credit. filth
To Senator Knute Nelson of Mime
for the beginning of the finals Of the
rate debate. Declaring that the people
are being tired by the long drawn bat
tie in the senate, the Minnesotan moved
that the general debate be closed next
Friday, and the amendments then be
taken up under the fifteen minute rule.
He also suggested that May 10 be set
as the date for the final vote. The
former suggestion was adopted and will
lection to setting date for a. vote was
sustained.
There are about sixty-three amend.
ments to the bill, but many are not
regarded important. and less than ff
teen minutes will be devoted to a large
number. Only fifteen minutes may be
occupied in the consideration of each
including the important amendments
and the close Of the long rate battle
draws near.
No Compromise.
There is nothing in the report that
Senators Allison and Cullom have beer
appointed unoffcially to confer with
the president with a view to reaching
some compromise basis as to court re
view. Both senators deny the report
and it also is denied at the White
| House.
| The president continues to take tn
ground that there is no room for com
! promise, and that to compromise woult
be to surrender. The only question be
fore the senate is whether the court
shall finally make the rates, or whethe
this work shall be done by the commits
sion. How there can be any compro
mise here, the presidents friends can
not understand.
Predicts Few Amendments.
Chairman Hepburn of the house CON
mittee on Interstate and foreign CON
merce says that the senate situatio
seems to promise the passage thru tina
body of the house bill, without seriou
amendment. He has been following tn
situation carefully, and is convince
that the original bill with possibly tn
