charge Of grand larceny preferred BY
their GRANDMOTHER. Mary Howe. aged
seventy.
When placed on the stand this morn

Practically the entire session of the

MEAT BILL GOES
BEFORE SENATE

The agricultural appropriation bin
was called up from the Vice Presidents
desk by Senator Proctor early this aft
ernoon and the usual motion made that
the Senate decline to accept the House
amendment and ask conference. Sen
ator Proctor proceeded to explain the
points Of difference between the Senate
and the House provision for meat in
Spection-
He considered that the Senate pro-
vision requiring the labels on package
goods to show the date when thew
were put up was one Of distinct i'm
portance upon which the Senate should
insist He then discussed the House
amendment under which the Govern
ment will pay the expense Of inspec-
tion, and urged that this represented
a departure in legislation that would
prove dangerous.
He said he did not consider this ex-
pense properly a tax either upon the
producer Of live stock or the consumer
Of his products. but merely an advertis-
ing item. which the packers should and
easily could pay from their advertising
appropriations.
Senator Beveridge vigorously urged
that the Senate ought to stand by the
provisions OF its meat inspection rider
and insisted that the House had weaken

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2o.-Mu-
tiny has broken out afresh at Cron-
stadt- The whcle city is rioting and
shooting is heard from various sec
tons. The authorities have no con-
troll over the situation.
The sailors are in open rebellion
and are marching the streets in
great crowds, shooting and rioting
as they go.
Soldiers Refuse TO Obey.
The soldiers pay no attention to
them when ordered to make arrests,
and the worLmen, with whom the
sailors clash frequently, add an
other turbulent clement to the gen
eraI IawIessness.
Fresh troops arrived today and
this seemed TO aggravate the situa-
tion and had no effect on the rioting
sailors.
Artillery Hurried Forward.
Two batteries of artillery and two
batteries OF machine guns are en-
route from OrC nienbaum, while two
regiments of infantry are already
here from Krasnoye Selo.
y precautionary measure was the
removal of the breech blocks Of the
guns on the warships in the harbor
and the cutting of of the island on

The Pueblos proved to be excellent

race may be translated somewhat as
follows: Unless you have something
to say 1t is useless to talk" This piece
OF philosophy is certainly worthy of q

the Indians live up to their philosophy
in their stolid faces and limited vocabu-
laries. It is obvious. of course. that
such material is admirably suited to
the needs OF an artist. Mr. Joullin
found that his models would take any

Mr.. JouIlin from his long stay among
the Indians, came to know them well
and to win their confidence. In the
end he was thus enabled to gain favors
which probably no mere outlander
could possibly obtain. The permission
to paint, or, raher, the consent of tho
Indians to pose. especially in the case
OF women and children, seemed at first
out of the question. AS time went
on the artists presence came to be
tolerated, until in the end he was per-
mitted to enter into their lives as few
white men have ever done before. Mr.
Joullin obtained his first models in a
most unexpected fashion. He had been

Not the least charm of these studies
OF Indian life is their absolute fidelity
in point Of drawing and color to the
originals. Mr.. Joullin has brought to
his work a genuine sympathy for his
subject matter and a wide knowledge
OF the life he is reproducing. He has
lived in all three years among the
Pueblos. His work is also unique from

rarely. however. that artists go so far
