neer Stevens pointed out to me the
route of several diversion channels,
the construction of which should be
under way, but which ne cannot com
mence until the type of canal is de.

certain other intermediate yards
which we cannot locate until that de.

CUT THROAT
WITH KNIFE
AGED INMATE OF COUNTY HosPI
tai TRIES TO COMMIT
SUICIDE

From Wednesdays Daily.
Timothy Murphy, an aged resident
of the Wapello county hospital, at
tempted to kill himself last evening
about 6:15 o'clock by cutting his
throat with a pocket knife. His con-
dition is serious.
1t is said that Murphy went right to
his bed after supper and there made
the attempt to commit suicide. John
Fame, an inmate of the insti-
tuition, witnessed this through
an open door and report
ed the matter to Superintendent Geo.
A. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson went immedi-
ately to Murphy's room and found him
sitting there with his throat cut open,
the incision being about six inches
long. Medical assistance was at once
summoned and the wound was given
attention. At first Murphy is said to
have remarked that he hoped he had
made the cut fatal, but today he is re.
ported as being NJ ore repentant, and
regrets the rash adt.
| Mr.. Murphy is tEeSat 5&afg old
and his age and feeble condition may
make the injury much more serious
than it would otherwise be. His con
dition is admitted to be critical, but
the physician in charge hopes for his
recovery.
Temporary insanity is supposed tc
be the. cause of the rash deed Mr.
Murphy has been an inmate of the
county institution during the greater
part of the last few wears.

Refuses to Answer.
'I will not reply to hypothetical
questions. II You will be good enough
to ask question that is pertinent,
will answer it," Thus William Mel
son Cromwell, counsel for the Panama
railroed and in that capacity an Off
cial of the United States, today defied
Senator Morgan in his quest for in.
formation as to the meaning of the
letter written by Cromwell to the
late Secretary Hay, concerning the
original concession to the Panama
Canal company.
After replying that the letter spoke
for itself and that questions relating
to that transaction were not germane
to the present inquiry of the senate
committee on interoceanic canals
Cromwell met the rapid-fire questions
with a prompt refusal to answer.
Morgan found it impracticable tc
pursue the examination which con
cerned the relations of Cromwell tc
the old Panama company, and he
turned to inquiries regarding the ser
vices of Cromwell to the Panama rail
road company.

Washington, D. c., May g..
Those organizations and people who
have petitioned the senate urging the
expulsion of Reed Smoot, the Mormon
senator, from that body, are likely to
be sadly disappointed Senator Smoot
will not be expelled from the senate
at this session, which means, in the
Judgment of practically everybody in
Official position that the Utah senator
will be permitted to serve out the re-
ma1nder of his term. which expires
March 4, 1909.
III there were no more convincing
reasons, the demeanor and facial ex-
pressions of Senator Smoot himself
would afford ample proof Of the fore
going prophecy. A year ago the Nor
man senator wore sad and worried
look. His eyes had hunted express
sion, his moustache dropped; his fea-
lures were drawn and sad and he ap.
peared as man who was merely wait.
ing the execution of sentence.
Now on Easy Street.
A transformation has come over
Mr.. Smoot. He walks with a bold
and sprightly step; his eye is clear and
bright, even to twinkling; his features
have relaxed; he has braced up in ev.
cry department of his physical being;
his look and actions all declare that
he is a man transformed from worry
and fear and doubt to a man on easy
street mentally. Senator Smoot has nc
fear of being expelled from his seat II
| the senate.
OF course a narrow majority in the
senate committee on privileges ant
elections are in favor of expelling Mr.
Smoot but the committee seems tc
sidestep any definite action Meetings
are held from week to week, and al
each session vote is expected but
the vote is never taken For one pre-
text or another final action is deferred
The next meeting is scheduled fol
Friday Of this week. It is not believed
anything definite will be done at this
meeting.
Not Enough Votes.
It is intimated that the committee
hesitates, notwithstanding an appar
ent majority for expulsion in the com
mittee, to report to the senate in fav
or of such action simply because
Chairman Burrows has, it is said, be
come convinced Of the fact that upor
a vote in the senate the action of thu
committee will not be sustained.
will require sixty adverse votes to un
seat Smoot. According to the bes
authorities sixty votes cannot be mus
tered. 1t is considered more expedient
in view of this fact, at this particula
juncIure, not to bring the matter int
