BUT ONE NEGATIVE VOICE WAS
HEARD IN VIVA v0CE VOTE
Vote Was Taken at the End Of a
Hard, Long Days Work There
Were No Speeches on Question to
Speak Sherman, N. =, Paid
His Respects to Senator Tillman
Other House Business.

Washington, D. c., June 29.-Once
more the house has agreed to the rail-
way rate conference report. This ac-
tion came just as the legislative day
of seven busy hours merged into the
evening session of general debate last
night. The members were tired and
hungry but good natured. Persistent
applause cut short the forensic efforts
of several members and leave to
print" satisfied everyone who wished
to set forth his position on the
measure. But one negative voice was
made against the report in viva voce
vote taken.
Sherman, IN. W, persisted in face
of the applause which had stopped
other members after a few sentences.
He said the measure was sound and
paid his compliments to Senator Till
man.
The conferees had not been scared
by the lurid pictures of the octopus
hanging over them, nor by an allu-
sion to the brands. upon their
brows,'' and tI desire to say for the
conferees, who have signed this re-
port" he concluded THAT they have
manifested throughout the whole de-
liberation degree of honesty and
fidelity, which is certainly equal to
that which certain gentleman, who
has not signed the report, admits he
possesses"
Other House Business.
The house worked under the forced
draught and accomplished an inn
mense amount Of business prepara-
tory to the adjournment at the
weeks end.
The conference reports on a num-
Der of measures were adopted with
out debate but it required special
rules in other particulars to effect a
consideration and adoption of some
important conference agreements.
Interest centered about the con-
ference reports on the railroad rate
bill and the agricultural appropria-
tion bill but both of these reports
were considered and adopted under
the blanket rule, permitting the con-
sideration of the conferecne reports
without being printed in the record.
The house expressed its confidence
in its conferees on the agricultural
bill by instructing them not to recede
from the meat inspection amendnent
by vote of 1913 to As.
On the rate bill there was gen
eral expression Of satisfaction that
that measure had been perfected
Without taking recess, the house
had labored from II o'clock yester-
day morning until adjournment al
II o'clock last night, during which
time many bills on the private calen.
dar were passed.
After legislative business which
kept the house at the grindstone un.
til 8 o'clock, had been disposed of
the crowded galleries listened tc
another series Of political speeches.

UP IFS BUSINESS
UPPER HOUSE OF CONGRESS Dis
POSED OF MANY BILLS
Public Building Bill Discussed by
Senators Thoroughly Agricultural
Appropriation Bill Complete Excep.
for Meat Inspection Provision
Tillman Delivered His Mrs. Minor
Morris Speech.

Washington, D. c., June 29.The
senate consumed the greater part OF
yesterday discussing the public build
ing bill, the time being occupied In
main by efforts on the part Of In
dividual senators to secure increases
of the amounts allotted for public
buildings in the cities and towns OF
their respective states. In no In
stance Of this character were they
successful; but in the case OF San
Juan, Porto Rico, Senator Foraker
secured an advance OF from 5000 900
to $3OO0,O 900.
The agricultural appropriation bill
made its appearance In the senate
again during the day in the partial
conference report, which was COM
plete except with reference to the
meat inspection provision, and on
that another conference was orderd.
There was some desultory discus
sion Of the conference report on the
pure food bill, but its disposition was
postponed until today The conference
committees report on the Lake Erie
and Ohio River ship canal bill was
accepted without debate but the La
Toilette bill regulating the hours Of
the employment for trainmen was
displaced by the building bill.
Senator Tillman found an oppor-
tunity to make his long deferred
speech on the election OF Mrs. Minor
Morris from the white house by di-
rection Of Assistant Secretary Barnes.
He reiterated his charge that Mr..
Morris had been outrageously treated
and said that the president had en-
dorsed the action by appointing Barnes
postmaster Of Washington.
The last of the great appropriation
bills, the general deficiency bill. was
reached during the day and q night
session was held for its consideration.
| "A bill authorizing the 500" road to

RAN IS INDICTED
On MURDER CHARGE
GRAND JURY HOLDS HIM RE-
SP0NSIBLE FOR THE MURDER
Accused Man Sits and Listens to
Damaging Evidence Without a
Mumur-Mrs. Thaw Appeared on
the Stand-Date of Trial Not Yet
Set-White's Funeral is Held
Mrs. Thaw Calm Before Grand
Jury.

New York, N. Y, June 29.-Harry
Kendall Thaw was indicted yester-
day for murder in the first degree for
killing Stanford White last Monday
night on Madison Square roof garden.
His wife, Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, ap-
peared as witness before the grand
jury, but begged to be excused from
giving any testimony whatever. She
was treated kindly by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan, who did not
insist that she should answer any
questions Thaw will plead to the
Indictment in court this morning.
No time has been set for the trial
until District Attorney Jerome's re-
turn to the city.
The grand jury's inquiry followed
in perfunctory manner the inquest,
which rendered formal verdict that
Whites death had been caused by
young Thaw. The latter calmly
listened to the testimony. When the
jury had completed its verdict Thaw
was recommitted to the Tombs with
out bail. His indictment was an
nounced soon afterward.
Mrs. Thaw, following her appear
ance before the grand jury, crossed
the bridge of sighs and entered the
city prison to see her husband. They
talked together for long while and
when Mrs. Thaw finally attempted to
leave the great granite building she
found her way blocked by the largest
crowd, the police say, that has ever.
gathered about the structure. She
was virtually held a prisoner by the
inquisitive throng for thirty minutes,
when the reserves from many police
Precincts managed finally to clear a
way for her.
White is Buried.
Stanford White was buried yester-
DAY with a simple ceremony at st.
James, L. L., where he had a summe.
home. The services were held in the
vt. James Episcopal church and inter-
ment was made in the graveyard sur
rounding the quaint little edifice.
In the opinion Of physicians who
Performed the autopsy on Whites
Dody, the life Of the architect was
shortened not more than two years
Dy the bullets from Thaw's pistol. He
was found to be suffering from
bright's disease, from incipient
tuberculosis and from fatty degener-
alton OF the liver.
Thaw sent a message from the
rombs yesterday to Anthony Com
stock, president Of the society for the
SUPPRESSION Of vice, saying he had
received letter which II would pay
lSomstock to Investigate. An agent
ol the society called upon Thaw yes
sterday afternoon but was not admit
ted at that time. II was said either
me agent Or Comstock himself might
gee Thaw today.
Mrs. Thaw Declines to Testify.
Mrs. Thaw's appearance before the
srand Jury had been looked forward ''s
s1o with considerable interest, as y
was thought she possibly would take
advantage OF the opportunity g
throw some additional light upon on the tn
tragedy When she appeared and re-.
quested to be excused from testtfying.
.ne Jury took the view that foIs tne 'las

CONGRESS- REMAINS IN

 FULLY FIFTY.

Wires President Roosevelt to This Ef-
 feet-Up to 11;45 Last Night Reports
 Showed the Election of 155 RepubIi-
 can Congressmen and 11s Democratic
 Democrats Make Some Gains
 New York, Nov. 6.-Chairman J. s. Sherman, of the republican national congressional committee, at 11:40 to- night sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt:
 "The President, Washington, D. O.:
 "Of nine districts heard from, which we classed as doubtful, we have re- ports showing seven republican and two democratic. All indications confirm our estimate of republican congress by full ly fifty.
 (Signed) "J. s, Sherman"
 New York, Nov. 7.-At 1:15 o'clock this morning Congressman J. S. Sher- man, of New York, made the following statement:
 Tn my final estimates of the prob able outcome made last Thursday I marked 19S districts as certainly re- publican, 13O as certain democratic and 5S as doubtful Of the districts so far heard from we have not lost one that was marked certainly republican. Of the fifty-eight doubtful districts we have reports from twenty showing that we have carried fifteen of them and lost five. Even should the other thir- ty-eight districts break even, it will be seen that our majority in the next house would be seventy eight. I expect that the break will be in our favor rather than even"
 MT. Sherman wired Speaker Cannon that there was no question about the next house being republican by over fifty majority, outside of twenty dis tricts which Mir Sherman had classed as doubtful. He also wired Speaker Cannon that the entire New York re- publican delegation which the party had in the last congress will be return ed with the exception of. Wadsworth, of the Thirty-fourth district.
 The committee received the following message from Speaker Cannon from his district in Illinois: T am elected. I have the best off-year majority have | received.
 Chicago, Nov. 6. 6.-Dispatches to the Associated Press Ilp to 11:45 show that the republicans nave elected 155 con ! gressmen, the democrats 11S, No re- l turns have been received from 113 dis tricts. The democrats have so far gained two in Illinois, two in Missouri, three in Pennsylvania, one in Ohio, one in New York, one in New Jersey and \ one in North Carolina.

BUSINESSES COLORED TROOPS IN DISGRACE
Continued From First Page.)

"On October 5, 1906. a squadron at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, Ills, un- der orders from the War Department assigning them to duty there. Soon after this assignment, there appeared in the public press the following &C., count of a statement alleged to have been made with regard to the matter by Col. William L. Pitcher, 27th infan- try.
 "The negro troops would never have been quartered at Fort Sheridan with out a protest if 1 commanded here, v said Col. Pitchers. T never liked them kept, the better it pleases me. For the life of me, I cannot see why the United States should try to make soldiers out of them. Certainly there are enough fine white young men in this big coun- try to make soldiers of without re- cruiting from such a source"
 This alleged statement by Colonel Pitcher having been brought to the attention of the President the follow ing communication with regard to it was sent to the War Department by Secretary Loeb.
 "The President directs that an i'm mediate report be called for from Col onel Pitcher to know whether or not clipping: And he is correctly quoted the president directs that proceedings be taken against him for such punish ment as can be inflicted. The presi- dent says that such conduct is but lit tie better than that of the offending negro troops themselves. "Very truly yours,

HEART ACTION ON sH1PBoARD
Surgeons Find That Vibration Bothers
 Their Diagnoses,

Surgeons Find That Vibration Bothers
 Their Diagnoses.
 "All hearts sound alike on these mod ern ships" said the surgeon of a trans atlantic liner. Although the hull of the average modern steamer is bigger and supposedly less subject to the vio- lenee of the sea, the machinery to drive the enlarged hulls has been increased in size. With the increase in the size of the engines. there has followed greater vibration.
 'It is this vibration which makes it impossible for us to read truly the ac- ton of the average human heart. l have tried repeatedly by all manner of means to overcome the influence of the vibration on the heart, but I find that by even swinging a patient in ham, mock, where the shaking up is not greatly felt, the result of the heart reading is far from satisfactory.
 'The first day at sea in this ship on her maiden voyage l had occasion to treat an ,Englishnlan who was en route to Canada on business. I was startled | to hear his heart. Yet he had the finest kind of cardiac action, as I as- certained once the ships machinery stopped, I have since found it to be ar inariable rule that the engines vibra- tion makes it appear as though the heart of the average man was going to stop before I could get the stethos. cope awary from his breast.
 "Vibration does not hurt the heart any. Do not make the mistake of sup posing that it does. It just sounds as though the end was positive, adn while the patients heart is beating in regu- lar form the shaking of the ships de. eeives even the practised ear.'--
