Bond Department Criticised.

Criticism is made of the methods en- ployed by the bond and mortgage de- partment of the company which it Is claimed should have been dealt directly with borrowers instead of through other companies.
 Of the foreign loans examined the re- port says that 117 cases of irregularities involving $45,177 were disclosed.
 Under the head of expenditures of a questionable character and for purposes not disclosed by the books and vouchers of the company" the report says:
 .They aggregate for the entire period fJanuary i, 1899 to December 31, 1905), $e13, 3,874."
 Included in this amendment are pay ments on order of expenditures commit tee usually in amounts of $25,O0O, ag- eregating over $3S0, GOO and which have already been made a matter of litigation against certain former high officials of the company.
 The investigation committee concludes it's report with statement that it has had exceptionable opportunities to observe the methods of the Peabody administra- tion during the last six months.
 It Is the committees opinion that the president and his staff are making con- scientous and thorough efforts to con- duct the affairs of the company Ion broad. correct and conservative business lines"

Mccurdy Refused information.

Former President McCurdy and his son Robert H. McCurdy are scored by the investigators for failure to supply certain information. On this point the investiga- tors says:
 .@The requstion for information which the committee made upon the trustees of the company was fully answered by all the trustees except Messrs. Richard A. and Robert H. McCurdy and Elihu Root. It Is hardly expected that answers will be received from the Messrs. McCurdy, and it is presumed that MT. Roots oc- cupation in other fields of usefulness has prevented his giving the necessary atten- tion to the matter"
 Tn explaining a loss of about $l.5OO,0OO reported by the accountants upon certain securities held by the company the in- vestigators say that this is not an actual less but only the difference between the cost price and quoted values of December 31, 1905. On the subject of the companys securities holdings, the committee adds that during the past five years there has been a net profit of $11.5oo,o0O upon the securities sold are still held by the company.

IN FINANCIAL STRAITS

New York, June 29,-"Not guilty" was the plea made bt Harry K. Thaw when arraigned today bn the charge of having murdered Stanfotd White before Justice Cowing in the upreme court.
 So prompt was lthe prisoners answer to the usual question by the clerk of the court that his counsel, who expected to reply for him, wefe for a moment startled. Then they immediately interposed an amendment Of tile plea, asking the per- mission of the court to withdraw it any time up to next Tuesday. This permis- sion was granted and the prisoner was led back to his cell. These proceedings lasted but a few moments, during whish the prisoner appeared to be cool and collected. While waiting his turn for ar raignment, several prisoners preceding him at the bar, he stood in window re- cess chatting with an officer
 The request of Thaw's counsel for leave to amend the plea has been taken as q possible indication that the final line Of defense has not yet been determined It is still considered probable, however, that @ plea of temporary emotional insanity will be offered
 That every effort will be made to secure the admission of evidence bearing on inc past life of Stanford White, and upon his alleged pursuit of Mrs. ThaT1 after her marriage is certain.
 While the defense is willing and appar- ently anxious that the trial s.iould begin at the earliest possible moment, there is hardly any possibility that it can take place before October

White Heavily In Debt.

One of the most interesting develop ments in the case today was the state- ment in an afternoon paper that White, instead of being, as was generally sup. posed, man of great wealth, In fact owed $3O0,C00 to one young member of prominent family, as much Il. 70 10 other persons and had so greatly overdrawn his personal account with the firm of archl- tects of which he was a member, that he was notified he could draw no more but must be content with certain fixed week ly allowance.
 Mrs. Thaw held another long conference with her husbands attorneys, during which she Is said to have related at length her life history, especially that portion pertaining to her acquaintance with White prior to her marriage.

Black VIII Take Leadinq Part.

As a result of this conference it was de- cided that former Governor Frank $. Black will take leading part in the de- fense. Mrs. Thaw did not visit her hus- band in the Tombs today. The nvestl- gation by Thaw's counsel into the career of Stanford White and the John Doe in- stituted by the district attorneys office and designed to probe every possible ave- nue that may throw light on the motive of the tragedy, promise to result in some startling disclosures. Detectives are delv- ing In the under world on behalf of the prosecution and defense, and fresh dis coveries bearing mildly on the tragedy are of almost hourly occurrence.
 Among the many witnesses examined at the district attorneys office today were Thomas McCaleb, a Californian who was with the Thaws at dinner in the Cafe Martin on the evening of the tragedy and Truxton Beal, who was with Mr. White and his party in the restaurant at the same time Associate District Attor- ney Garvan stated at the conclusion of McCaleb's examination that McCaleb had accompanied Mrs Thaw from the Garden after the shooting, and had escorted hep to the house of one of her friends He also said that McCaleb had made a very complete statement of everything he had observed during the dinner, and after wards on the roof garden when White was shot.

MIR. Daniel VIII Make Attempt to
Have Measure RecOnsidered.
WASHINGTON. June 1.-The senate to-
day passed the bill regulating the liability
of railroad companies for injury to en-
ployes. but Senator Daniel gave notice of
a motion to reconsider, which II 1t pre-
walls will have the effect OF again bring
ing the bill before the senate for considera-
ton. The remaining time of the open ses-
sion was devoted to a speech by Senator
Morgan in support OF the American con-
troll in the Philippines and to a discussion
of the resolution prescribing a policy for
the government in the purchase of supplies
for the Panama canal. Senator Stone on
posed the amendment as useless and at
tackled the president as weak and waver-
ing in policy.
After a protracted executive session the
senate adjourned until tomorrow,
When today Senator Aldrch sought to
secure the passage of his resolution giving
the president authority to go outside the
United States to buy supplies for the
Panama canal in case bids in the United
States are extortionate and unreasonable,
Senator stone took the floor in opposition
to the resolution. He based his opposition
on the ground that it was useless to pass
the president will buy practically all canal
materials I'm America, no matter what the
difference in prices here and abroad
may be.
In support of this contention he cited
the facts in connection with the purchase
from the Ward line Of two ships for the
canal service. The president" he said.
Opened negotiations for the purchase OF
foreign ships, but at the same time the
batteries OF American ship builders were
opened on the president. For awhile-a
short while-it really looked as II the pres
ident for once at least would stand his
ground But alas! our hopes were vain;
he was not equal TO the task. He hauled
down his flag and surrendered. Instead
Of buying the foreign ships of 5000 tons
each for $4,000 he bought two American
ships Of 500 tons each for 81, 10000 These
vessels said the senator. had cost not
to exceed $4,000 each, and as they had
been in service about eight years were
worth 70 per cent less" This he pro-
nouneed "a shameful instance of treasury
looting" He declared the presidents

country,
And So" Mr., Stone proceeded. "the
Macedonian cry comes over from the
White House 10 congress. The joint reso-
luton is the response congress makes to
that appeal. Hereafter when the presi-
dent goes on buying trust materials at trust
prices, as he has been doing and would
continue 10 do, whether this resolution
should be adopted or not, he can excuse
himself on the ground that congress has
established a rule for his guidance. He
can shelter himself under this resolu-

this resolution can be putt"

Upper House VIII De blamed
for Failure of the
Measure.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-The latest move
in the controversy between the senate and
the house on the statehood question has
just been revealed in connection with the
plan to bring in report from the confer
enoe committee tomorroy. This report is TO
provide for the immediate admission of
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one
state. with the further provision in the ex-
act language of the original Foraker
amendment that Arizona and New Mexico
shall vote separately on their admission
as one state
This report Is to be submitted first to the
senate for its action. Should II be rejected,
as has been predicted by those who have
made close canvass OF that body, the re-
sponslbility for the failure TO admit Okla
homa and Indian Territory and also the
failure to allow the other two territories
to themselves decide the question of their
admission will be placed with the senate.
House Rests It's Case.
Should this report fail OF ratification in
the senate Il is believed that the house will
rest it's case without further action of any
kind, after emphasizing the fact that the
senate and not the house is responsible for
the failure of action.
The Foraker amendment. as it is known,
is the exact provision on which the state
hood insurgents made their losing fight i'm
