The Senatorial atmosphere is vol
canic today, and across the railroad
rate horizon plays the lightning of
ill-ooncealed uneasiness. while there
are heard the mutterings of men
whose plans have gone wrong.
But above this element OF dis
pleasure is the Ioud-throated chorus
of delight from the radicals in rate
legislation" They herald in tones
OF confidence the passage of the
Presidents rate bill. They declare
in no uncertain phrase that the tide
has turned irresistibly toward vic
tory for the Administration.
Their explanation of the sudden
change is a double one: First, the
proposed publication of the Gar
field report tomorrow touching the
Standard Oil Company; second, the
early issuance of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions reports on
its inquiries into the connections OF
the railroads with the coal indus
try of the whole country.
They foresee the inevitable
strength of a popular indignation
which will be caused by the publi-
cation Of these Illuminating docu-
ments. They predict that such
tidal anger will wrest the control
of the situation from procrastinat-
ing Senators and force to success
a "strengthened bill"
Mysterious Changes.
Report is even stronger today than II
was yesterday that the people who have
been accounted opponents of legislation
are suddenly anxious for an early vote.
and part Of the story is that Senator
Aldrich claims fifty-one votes for his
broad court review proposition.
The opposition, on the other hand IN
sists that he has no such number, and
that, instead of wanting to get n vote
while he is confident of securing his re-
10 get IL early because he sees ahead
the tidal wave of public wrath which
may sweep radicalism into the measure.
So IL comes about that the opposing
sides have in measure changed POSI-
tion on the matter of an early vote
The Dolliver-Dong element would be
willing to vote early, because it wants
the unamended House bill passed if pos
sible, ana thinks that would be possible
In an early vote.
Radicals" Encouraged.
But the more radical element-the
Tillman-La Follette-Baiiey people who
would like the bill strengthened at what
they consider weak points-are planning
TO take advantage of the weakness OF
the Aldrich group, and to redouble their
efforts for strengthening amendments.

DAUGHTER OF NAVY
OFFICER FACES JURY
ON MURDER CHARGE
Accused Of Killing Her Hus-
band, a Young Eng
lishman.

MONROyLA, June 4:-Mrs. Alberta
Dabner .iStorrs, daughter of the late
Commander Dabner, q. S. N. and we'll
known in Washington and Southern
society, was placed on trial today at
a preliminary hearing for the murder
of her husband, Roland S. Storrs in this
city, on the night of April 27 last.
The evidence against Mrs. Storrs is
purely circumstantial, and it is stated
only physical facts point to her guilt.
Storrs, young Englishman, was
shot late at night in his own home,
and his wife claimed that he COM
mitted suicide as the result of melan-
choly following a period of drinking.
The contention of the prosecution is
based upon a few contradictions in
Mrs. Storrs' staten y s and some ply
steal facts which have not yet been
explained.
City Marshal Miller, who is the COM
planning witness, was the first to tes-
tify today for the State.

CITY LOTS GIVEN AWAY
FOR VOTES IN DENVER
Alleged 10 Have Been Decided to Men
Who Otherwise Could Not Have
Cast Ballots.

DENVER, June 1.-Two sensations
were sprung today during the hearing
by Judge Mullins for petition for a
Grand Jury to investigate alleged cleo
ton frauds in the recent city election.
The first was the testimony of John
Cook Jr., prominent real estate owner,
who said he sold 70j lots for the sum
of 500 to Frank w. Frueauff, general
manager of the Denver Gas and Electric
Company The witness acknowledged
that Frueauf did not know the locality
of the lots The attorneys for the Hon
est Election League will make an effort
TO show that these lots were decided to
certain voters who otherwise could not
have voted upon the franchises.
The second sensation came just be-
fore the close of the hearing today,
when Fred A Williams, chairman of
the Republican City and County Com
mittee. and j. w. Brady chief clerk of
the gas company, refused to be sworn
as witnesses. L. w. Hoyt made an ef-
fort on behalf of the Honest Election
League to have the two men Imprisoned
for contempt, but the court took the
matter under advisement.

caused her great worry, and she firmly
believed that she was 10 receive the

BOSTON, June 4.-"After man has
drunk of life the limit he ought to be
thrown into the scrap heap" said Dr.
Wood Hutchinson, head of the Red
Plains Sanitarium of California, last
night. He is here for the American
Medical Associations convention. His
remarks caused stir and started a
lively discussion at the conference at
the American Academy of Medicine,
for many of the physicians present
were of advanced age.
1T is lamentable spectacle" said
DR.. Hutchinson, to see an old man
clinging to life with a determination
when his faculties are greatly inn
paired. He is only occupying the place
that should be given over to a younger
man."

Thousand Dollars Left to

Oppose the Holi-

SACRAMENTO. June 4-San Fran
cisco's Board of Supervisors will have
to re-enact the permit granting the
its cable lines into a trolley system.
for the Senate will refuse to pass
Luhens bill legaliz1ng all ohcfaI acts
performed during the holiday period
When the Senate convened this morn
ing the surprising announcement was
made that after mature consideration
of the measure the Judiciary committee
had reached the conclusion that the
bill should not pass. and the committee
so recommended TO the Senate.
Members of the committee said they
doubted the wisdom of the policy in
volved in the interference by the State
in purely municipal affairs. They
pointed out that if the Board Of Super
visors wished to legalize the grant to
the United Railroads it could re-enacC
the same now that the holidays were
over and that the question of the right
of the board to grant the concession
could then be determined in the courts
Of the law as it existed before the
disaster. A. Ruef has already said
that the grant would be re-enacted. no
matter what action the Legislature
might take. so the fight drifts from
here back to San Francisco.
Senator Ralston introduced this
morning a constitutional amendments
affecting the mortgage tax law. His
provision provides for the amendment
of article 13 so as to permit the mort
gagor to pay the mortgage tax. II
this provision carries and is ratified
by the people at the next general elec-
tion it viii result in the repeal Of the
mortgage tax that has been in opera
tion since the adoption OF the constitu-
tion in 1879. 1t is pointed out that IL
the present law Is repealed and the
mortgagor is given the right TO pay
the mortgage tax it will permit banks
to loan money at decreased rates of in
terest and result in a great saving
to borrowers.
As the law now exists the banks are
compelled to adjust their interest on
loans so as to give them a reasonable
interest and at the same time cover the
mortgage tax, which is an uncertain
quantity from year to year, owing TO
the variation of the tax levy. The
measure is looked upon here with favor
and in all probability will not meet
great opposition.
After passing two Assembly con-
tingent fund bills and hearing the re-
ports of committees which, with the
exception of that of the judiciary.
were unimpOrtant. an adjournment un-
til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning was

at the corner of Webster and CalifOr-

chairman of the judiciary committee,
appeared before the committee and
asked that temporary structure near
the site of the old City Hall be erected
as soon as possible.
Judge Cook said that in his opinion
such a building could be erected at a
cost of about $4,000. He favored GO
ing downtown for the reason, he said.
that this would induce the business
men to move there He said the
court would be content to put up with
many fncOnveniences, such as noises
and the like.
The Mayor said this matter would
come up before the Board of Super
visors He added that he thought it
would be better for the Judges to be
located near their present place OF
business. as the inconvenience down.

gained for
Judge Graham here arose to make
few comments He said he, too. was
in favor of new temporary quarters.
but that he would like to see the
courts out in some isolated spot The
Judges will have their hands full for
Graham. I'VE will be forced TO try
all sorts of litigations and suits, and
IL will be necessary for us, in my opin-
ion, to secure quarters in some Sc
cluded spot so that we will not be
hampered or bothered"
The committee on the condemnation
of old buildings was discharged with
vote of thanks. This committee re-
ported that its work was over All
the dangerous walls in the city have
now been torn down, and there Is no
immediate danger to workmen or citi-
zens in the bufned district
The reconstruction committee will

mittee will likely be adopted and
