other works of art which sank with
a vessel wrecked near the island OF
Cerigotto about two thousand years
ago. The valuable sculptures form
ed part of the load which was on its
way from Rome to be used in beau
tifying that city. The place OF the
wreck was recently discovered by ac-
cident by a Greek diver who brought
up a statue valued at about $500. II
was known for a long time that the
ship with it's valuable cargo was
wrecked in the Aegean sea, but not
until recently was the spot located.
Judging from the sample brought up
by the lucky diver, 1t is believed that
many valuable treasures of antique
art will be recovered.
What promised to be serious
personal encounter between George
n. Southwick of New York, and
Charles L. Bartlett of Georgia, was
prevented early last Friday morning
in the house by the intercession OF
friends. Southwick sought to pass
a resolution increasing the pay Of the
tally clerks. Bartlett, member Of the
committee on accounts, asked II the
resolution had been passed upon by
a committee Of the house. The
speaker informed him that IL had
not. Bartlett objected. During this
time Southwick was pleading with
Bartlett to let the resolution through,
but the Georgian was determined 1t
should not pass. Backing away from
Southwick he took a position on the
Republican side. Then Southwick
made the remark that there had been
a good dead Of lying in the commit
tee on the resolution and made a
movement toward Bartlett, thinking
that a personal assault was intended.
Bartlett who had a silver penknife in
his hand remarked that Southwick
dare not say he had lied or he would
cut him. Friends interfered and the
threatened encounter was averted.
- Senator Culberson on last Satur-
day found an opportunity to make an
address in the senate on the finances
Of the country under President Roose-
velt The statement showed that ex-
elusive of the Panama appropriation
increase Of expenditures in 1904 over
1908 was $35,496,995; in 1905 over
1904 $40,3S6.233; in 1906 over 1905
$17,903,S36. This said Mr.. Cul-
berson, shows an aggregated in
crease Of expenditure, excluding all
expenses in Panama, of $93,767,06
in three years. AS usual with this
administration, expenditures for the
military and naval establishments in
creased for this period and of the
preceding amount, the increase of the
naval establishment alone exceeds
$34,000,000 for the three years. The
total expenditures for the years 1908,
1904, 1905 and 1906 were $685.
004,409, and deducting Panama ex-
penses, it was $2,S66,421,0S9 The
total expenditures of the years 1898,
1899, 1900 and 1901, the four years
Of Mckinley, were $2,430,316,S9O. 1t
thus appears that exclusive of all
expenses in Panama the expenditures
of the four years Of Roosevelt ex-
ceeded those of the four years of NC
Kinley, although he conducted the
Spanish war by the extraordinary
sum of $424,1O4,69s."
The killing of Stanford White,
the we'll known architect by Harry
Kendall Thaw, the young millionaire
at Madison Square roof garden last
week promises to lead to a sensa-
tional moral shake up, the like OF
which has not been known in New
York for a great many years. The
papers have been printing pages
about the matter and there are a
great many more pages yet to come.
AS the situation now appears from
Shaw's side, White had betrayed Mrs.
Shaw before her marriage and was
still pursuing her. Newspaper stories
make 1t appear that White was a
moral leper of the worst kind. He
is represented to have ruined scores
Of young women, but because of his
high position, financially and profess
sionally, he was never brought to ac-
count. Thaw's immediate family is
said to be worth nearly $50,000,O00,
and there are evidences OF their pur-
pose to expose Whites past life in all
its details. White, thought to have
been wealthy, has been living be-
yond his means and his estate is not
sufficient to wipe out his debts. He
leaves a millionaire brother, who will
defend his name. Thaw has plead
not guilty to the murder. Mrs. Thaw,
1t is understood, will tell all about
her past relations with White and
give a lot of other information about
him.
Washington special Of Saturday
TO the Columbia State: The last day
of the senate-if it is the last-was
noted for a fiery spat between Till
man and Bailey, who sit side by side
in the senate, and who have been so
closely associated with each other
during the entire session. Bailey
took exception to the pass provision
of the conference report on the rate
bill because, he said, 1t Disseminated
against attorneys who are prevented
from getting passes for their families
while other employees are not. There
are too many lawyers here who stick
out that there is no harm in lawyers
getting passes and that lawyers be
excepted" said Tillman. To this
Bailey replied, with his. fate flushing
and his lips curling: There are too
many demagogues here who are al
ways talking against lawyers" Il
am the only one who has talked
against them," said Tillman, rising
up in his seat and looking fiercely at
the Texan, who was not three feet
from him. IF there are any dema-
gogues here they must be lawyers,
because the members of this body
are lawyers, except possibly half
Dozen" And it is a pity the senator
from South Carolina is not one also"
said Bailey. Both of the senator's
