WHERE'S PERRY HEATH?
The Gov eminent would Likc Him 10 Testif,
al Former senator Green's Trial.

WASHINGTON, May 20. -Nscussion Of the
whereabouts of former First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry Heath took up
most of the time at to-day's session Of the
trial OF former Senator George f.. Green
of New York and Willard ID. Doremus of.
Washington for alleged conspiracy 20 de-
fraud the United States Government and
bribe a Government official.
I,P. Michenor, formerly Attorney-Genera
Of Indiana, one Of the organizers and stock
holders in the Doremus Machine Company
and its attorney, was asked If he knew
where Perry Heath could be found. He
said that he had heard from the former
post o flee official several days ago. At
that time Mr.. Heath was in Indiana. Dis
trict Attorney Baker said Mr.. Heath was
regarded by the Government as an import
ant witness and added that every possible
effort had been made to summon him to
court bus he had evaded the department
tary marshals with the subpoena.
G. p. Granhsld, a Postal employee, identi-
fed the initials of George W. Beavers on
several letters, and it was through him that
the Government set UP that it had proved
what 1t styles "the first overt act on the
part OF the conspirators." Mr.. Grhnfeld
said that on December 10, 1901, he mailed an
order from the Post Office Department
bearing Beavers's initials. for one Doremus
stamp cancelling machine, to- be used in
the Post Office Department at DaRville, Pa.
Counsel for the defence tried to show
by Mr.. Granfield's testimony that Charles
Emory Smith Of Philadelphia, then Post
master General, received a notice from
the Doremus Machine Company that the
price of the machines had been reduced
from $3.50 to $225 each. The price paid
for the machines subsequent to the time
this letter was received at the Post Office
Department was $225, 80 Mr.. Granfield
said.
Attorney Worthing, for the defence,
showed by Mr.. Granfield's testimony that
prior to the time that Mr.. Green was con-
nected with the Doreihus company IL MAD
A spirited discussion occurred when counsel
for the defence tried to show that the
dealings were regarded as strictly honest
and open and above board

REPORT EIGHT HOUR BILL.
Democrats I'm House Committee Catch
Republican Members Mapping.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The Democrats
Of the House Committee on Labor caught
their Republican colleagues Mapping this
morning and forced a favorable report on
the eight hour bin, The action was the
result Of a trap which the Democrats clev-
erly set for their opponents, Since the
committee began hearings on the bill there
nave been only one or two instances, and
then only for a few minutes, when a quorum
Of the committee was present. The Ia or
advocates did not ask to be heardbut charged
that the opposition to the measure sought
hearings in order to delay action
This morning, when the hearings were re-
sumed, there, were six members present,
three Republicans and three Democrats.
Suddenly Representative Hearst appeared
upon the scene, making a quorum OF the
committee present. Immediately Mr.. Hunt
of Missouri moved that the hearings be
suspended at once.
There was q scurrying for more Repub-
lican members, but none could be found,
and Mr.. Hunt pressed consideration of
his motion. When 1t was put the four
Democrats votsdf for it and were able to carry
it through.
Thereupon MIR. Rainey Of Illinois fol-
lowed up the advantage gained, and be-
fore any more Republicans could be COR
rallied moved that the committee report
the bill to the House favorably. This was
also agreed to, the four Democrats and
Representative Gardner, Republican, the
chairman Of the committee, voting for the
motion.
The Democrats are rejoicing over their
coup. and as soon as the action was taken
fastened to report their triumph to Floor
Leader Williams. In view Of the threat OF
the American Federation Of Labor to be
revenged upon those who oppose It's meas
ures and to reward those who are in SYM
pathy with them the Democrats are jubi-
liant over their victory in the Committee
on Labor,

SENATOR KNOWS NOISY MAP.
Disturbed Calm OF the Senate rs II Cracked
From the Gallery.

tS N"S
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Stone OF
Missouri was addressing the Senate this
afternoon when two employees Of the Office
Of the Sergeant-at-Arms appeared In the
reserved gallery bearing a huge wall map
which they prepared to suspend from the
gallery. Added to the interest which the
unusual performance itself attracted was
the distracting noise Of the cracking paper
map which was = apparently much drler
and much noiser than the speech OF the
Senator from Missouri.
Mr.. Stone calmly surveyed the perform
ance. A dozen Senators were on their feet
in an attitude of protest. The employees
bearing the map halted in the work and
tried to roll the map n retreat. but the
cracking noise grew louder.
The Vioe-President seized the gavel and
raped savagely.
The Sergeant-at-Arms will please sus-
pend that work until after the Senator
| IRON Missouri has concluded" commanded
the presiding officer.
s0r until the Senate has adjourned
| suggested Senator Foraker Of Ohio.
A dozen Senators murmured a protest
and the men with the dry map retreated into
q gallery corridor.
Then Senator Knox of Pennsylvania,
blushing deeply, came forward to explain
to the Vice President. Mr.. Knox desired to
address the Senate late this afternoon In
favor Of a projected canal between Lake
Erie and a point on the Ohio River near
| PittsburR. Mr.. Knox desired to illustrate
his remarks with a map. With the best Of
Intentions he had ordered the map dis
played az a companion to the Numerous
Panama Canal maps that adorn the Senate
walls. II was explained to him that most
OF the maps now suspended from the Senate
walls are Tess startling In dimensions and are
made on oiled paper, which does not rattle
, and disturb Senators speeches.

HOMES FOR OUR AMBASSADORS.
L%ongwOrth Falls to Get 81 900 600 App
Precipitation In Diplomatic bill.

WASHINGTON, May ?e.-In the course
Of the consideration in the House of Repre-
sentatives to-day Of the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, Representative
Nicholas Longworth moved an appropria-
ton of 81 900 900 to enable the Secretary
OF State to begin the acquisition Of sites
and the erection OF official residences, or
purchase Of same already constructed,
for Ambassadors and Ministers Of the
United States, but or a point Of order made
by Mr.. Adams Rep,, PAL, in charge of
the bill, it was ruled out,
In the course Of a brief discussion of the
proposition, which met general favor, Mr..
Sherley Dem, Ky.) expressed some views
upon the character Of the American diplo-
matic representation abroad that evoked
applause, He hoped some such provision
as that made in Mr., Longw orth's amend
ment would be enacted into law, but said
that all he evils OF the situation would not
be met by increasing salaries and buying
official residences. A change in the manner
of life by some Of the American diplomatic
officers, Mr.. Sherley said, was essential to a
proper representation of this country at
the capitals of other nations.

Gov. Higgins Shuts on . Possible Further
Review by Court OF Appeals.

Review by Court OF Appeals.
ALBANY, May 29,-Gov. Higgins has
vetoed the two bills introduced by As
semblyman Wade amending the Code OF
Civil Procedure with a view to aiding the
appeals of Albert T.. Patrick in his fight
for life. In vetoing the bills Gov. Higgins
had this to say:
"The purpose OF these bills is to permit
the defendant in a criminal case to take
an appeal to the Appellate Division Of the
Supreme Court from an order denying a
motion for a new trial on newly discovered
evidence, made after an afirmanoe Of q
judgment Of conviction by the Court of
Appeals. and a further appeal to the Court
of Appeals from an order Of the Appellate
Division Of the Supreme COURT affirming
an order denying such motion. Such an
order is not now appealable.
Contrary to the general rule governing
code amendments, it is provided that these
bills shall apply to any such order, whether
made prior or subsequent to the passage
thereof.
"Waiving the objection to the bills that,
though general in form they are special
in their application, and are intended to
grant a right OF appeal TO Albert L. Patrick
to obtain a review Of an order, il such order
a new trial on newly discovered evidence.
! disapprove them for the reason that they
Introduce a new procedure to our criminal
law and tend to defer indefinitely the termi-
nation Of a capital case.
A new trial IN the ground Of newly dis
covered evidence can he granted only
If such evidence has been discovered since
the trial, is not cumulative and the failure
to produce it on the trial was not owing
to want Of diligence. il is not held that
not more than one motion for a new trial
on the ground Of newly discovered evil
dence can be entertained, and such motion

Of Waltham, a Boston stock broker, in the
Superior Court to-day recovered a verdict
for ss4l in his suit against the city Of Boston

Mr.. Prince paid it under protest and brought
an action to recover the amount with in
