Much of the bitterness that has char
acterized the last days of the notable
debate disappeared as the hour for call
ing the final roll drew near, and at the
very close of the seventy days contest
there was presented the anomaly of
Senator Tillman taking the floor to de-
clare that whatever success comes of
the measure now on the threshold of
becoming part of the law of the land
will be due largely to Theodore Roose-
welt. Senator Dolliver and others also
spoke in praise of the President.
Mr.. Tillman who in all probability
would decline to shake the hand of the
President of the United States if they
met upon the street, who has refused
and probably will continue to refuse
to set foot inside the White House as
long as the present administration en-
dures, declared at the moment of ac-
ton that he did not want to lay down
the responsibility that had come to him
when the bill was thrust into his hands
and he was made the leader in
charge of it without committee be-
hind him-without saying that had it
not been for President ROOsevelt's in
defatigable work in and out of season
there would have been no rate legisla-

by Vote OF Il to 3.

The railroad rate bill was passed by
the United States Senate at 4 30 o'clock
Friday afternoon by a vote of II to ).
Senator Foraker, Republican, of Ohio,

Senator Teller, announced for him
that had he been present he would have

As the sentiment was unanimous
aside from the three exceptions noted,
none of the general pairs prevented any
Senator present from registering his
will on Il measure that has had scarcely
a parallel in Importance since war
time, not excepting tariff bills and
financial legislation.

BURIED IN MUD.

Known Dead at Atlantic

More Are Beneath Car
BRIDGE WAS FAULTY

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 30-The con-
tention of Coroner Gaskill that a num-
Der of persons who lost their lives in
the electric train wreck may be buried
in the mud and where the cars plunged
into The water was borne out late to-
day when the bodies of Mrs. Paul Fels-
burg, Mrs. Selma Johnston and Mrs.
Sarah Miller were recovered from un-,
der the buried cars.
The finding of the bodies increases
the number of identified dead to fifty
one, and the total number of bodies re,
covered to fifty-four. There are still
known to be among the dead. the bodies
of Mrs. Frank Monroe, so years old;
Joseph McElroy. H. n. Burch and Ar
man Alexis Texsco, which makes the
certain number of dead fifty eight
There are at the morgues three un-
claimed bodies. The last car will prob
ably be entirely out of the water be-
fore morning, when it is expected that
several other bodies will be recovered
Interest now centers on the inquest
to be held Thursday morning. Coroner
Gaskill will not express an opinion be-
fore the inquiry as to the cause of the
wreck, but IT appears from a statement
he made today that he is convinced the
bridge is not as it should be, and it
may have to be rebuilt.

OECAYED FOOD FOR
COUNTY'S POOR.

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 30.-The county
Grand Jury, investigating conditions at
the Coanty Poor Farm and Hospital,
today submitted a preliminary report
telling of almost unspeakable condi-
tions at both places. Decayed and dis
infested food, filthy surroundings,
insufficient bedding, poor sanitation
and prevalence of all sorts of vermin
were some of the specific conditions
cited, for which the jury demands i'm
mediate remedy.
The report says that on the day Of
the Investigation a large quantity of
decayed corn beef was hastily thrown
away to escape the eyes of the in
ouisitors. The wards and rooms of
inmates of the hospital are described
as repulsiveIy filthy and dirty. Myriads
of flies infest the place, according to
the report, rendering life almost un-
bearable to the helpless inmates.

STOCkHOLDERSGET
BACK 100000.

Los ANGELES. Oct. 30.-Judge Will
burn, in the Superior Court today, de-
cided the suit of w. d. Turner a stock
holder in the American Boy Mining
Company, against Ex-Governor H. II.
Markham. president. and George H.
Coffin. secretary of that corporation,
giving Judgment in favor of the plain
tiff for principal and interest in ex-
cess of 100000.
The court found that the defendants
had sold 1920 shares of the mining
stock for s52,6sS.35. and had issued,
without consideration. 1880 shares, for
which they were charged $57, 600. The
court allowed the defendants for ex-
penses IN developing the property
$40, Pills., leaving a balance due the
plaintiff of s90,041.4o. This, with in
terest due amounts to over 100000.
Turner, as stockholder in the cor
porationS-brought suit against the par
ties named several months ago,
charging that they had issued many
shares of stock for which the stock
holders had received no returns. The
defendants denied that the stock dis
posed Of belonged to the stockholders,
asserting that it belonged to them
selves individually.

Comptroller of Currency
Discovers That Securities
Are Nothing But Myths
ARRESTS TO FOLLOW

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Comptroller
Of the Currency Ridgely today made
the following statement of the affairs
Of the defunct Aetna Banking and
Trust Company of Butte, Mont:
A report received at this office from
the receiver of the Aetna Banking and
Trust Company at Butte, Mont, indf-
Gates that the condition of affairs there
is nearly as bad as at the branch in
this city.
The deposits. including those repre-
sented by certificates, exceed $350,000.
Other liabilities indicate that the total
will be nearly 100000.
The receiver found only $4,000 in
cash in the bank. An asset appearing
on the books as liability of the New
York Office for $197 900 is worthless,
as no assets whatever have been found
at IS Wall street, New York. where the
bank formerly conducted some sort of
a branch bank.
The branch at Washin gton is charged
with $42, 400, which is worthless. AS
sets listed as stocks and securities
amounting to $116,700 are practically
worthless.
There appears to be nothing among
the assets of substantial value unless
it can be found among the installment
loans on real estate of the nominal
value of $z6,63e.
That the money of the depositors
has been stolen is apparent Where 1t
has gone is not so easy to discover. The
officers whose duty 1t is TO prosecute
criminals have been notified at Butte
and in this city and are cooperating
with the receivers to apprehend and
punish the guilty
