Indiana.

Indianapolis, March IA. - There Is
n well-defned rumor around the stals
house rhat the governor was consider
ing placing his executive disapproVal
on the appropriation bill, house Dill
713 IF this shall be done, an extra
session of the legislature would have
+o he called on or before Sept 30, 1907,
in order TO make appropriations for
the next two fiscal years.
Items Which He Disapproves.
The story is that the governor
strongly disapproves Of several items
in the appropriation bill, including the
S25, 600 appropriation for the James
town exposition commission; the pro-
vision for three new employees in the
insurance department of the auditors
office. and the Increase in the salary OF
Miss Mary A. Stubs, present chief Of
the bureau of statistics, from $1,000
to 5000 a year. 1t is stated that 9th
er items are not in line with the gov
ernor's sense of the fitness of things,
too.
HanIy won't Say Nothin'."
Asked about the story the governor
would neither affirm nor deny it. He
refused to discuss it one way or an
other, other than to say that in all
probability no action would be taken
Immediately.
Couldn't Boss the Extra.
If he does veto this measure the ex-
ira session may be called Immediately
or not, just as the governor may dec
eide. If an extra session be convened,
1t will be as much its own master as
any regular session, and may hold for
any period of time no more than forty
days.

If the bin should be vetoed and an
extra session not be called all of the
officers and employees Of the state, ex-
cept those officers whose salaries are
fixed in the law creating the offices in
the state house and out, in all of the
state benevolent, charitable and correc-
tional institutions, every one who gets
n salary or wages from the state, eth
er would have to work ON faith or
quit.

What HummeI Is to Testify.

During his argument the district at
torney took on for the first time the
case began a sustained oratorical tone.
He asserted that Hummel would
swear Evelyn Nesbit told him three
days after her return from Europe in
1903 that Thaw had beaten her cruelty
because she would not sign papers he
had prepared falsely accusing Stan
ford White Of having drugged and be-
trayed her Jerome commended that she
had told much more; that Thaw
seemed bent upon putting Stanford
White in the penitentiary; that the
statement that White had betrayed her
was not true; that Stanford White had
never harmed him, and that Thaw was
consumed with rage when she refused
to sign and swear to the papers con-
tanning ''lies against Stanford White"
Jerome's Accusation Is Red Hot
These things were put in the form
of an affidavit" declared Jerome, ''and
that affidavit was subscribed to by
Evelyn Nesbit when she knew what
she was doing and what the paper
contained. We want to show that the
girl who told this remarkable story
here on the witness stand swore at an
other time, under the solemnity of an
oath that naked-stripped absolutely
naked-she had endured the lashings
and beatings of this defendant rather
than swear to his false statements
that Stanford White had drugged and
ruined her"

DETAILS OF THE HORROR.

Quebec, Aug 3O.-At the first break of dawn a dozen tugs began to search the St. Lawrence river for victims of last nights catastrophe. The dead number at least 75. and may number so. Less than 20 bodies have so far been recovered. The terrific drop of the great steel structure 1S0 feet above the water. horribly mangled the bod ies, and many it is feared. will never be found. Many of the dead are Americans.
 Both local and Dominion authorities are Investigating the cause. It is the opinion of some of the worknen that the pier gave way under the strain of the overhanging steel. but others say the steel work showed the first signs of weakness. It may be that it came from the weight of a locomotive and freight cars, loaded with steel girders, which was moved out onto the bridge just before the collapse.

AWFUL WRECK
 IN ILLINOIS Fifteen Killed and Fifty
 Badly Injured
Most of Them Were EX- cursiOnists Going to the Charleston Fair.

Mattoon, III. Aug. 30.-Fifteen per- sons were killed and about fifty in- jured in a head-on collision between an interurban express train. consisting of a motor car train and traction car on the Mattoon and Charleston electric line, at l0:S0 o'clock this morning. The crash occurred on d sharp curve one mile west of Charlestown. A con- fusion of orders received over the telephone is said to have been the cause of the accident. The cars ap- preached each other at a high rate of speed and the impact was so terrific the motor car was telescoped by the traction car. There was no warning and few passengers had time to es- cape by jumping. The passengers were nearly all en route to the Sunday fair at Charlestown and were crushed where they sat in the cars. Some es- caped who are able to speak, and say the scene of the wreck was gruesome. The dead and dying were damned to- gether in a mass. Some were shriek-
 
 for mothers who were thought to be among the dead. When the news of the wreck reached Mattoon, special cars were hurried to the scene and the dead and injured were brought to the Morgue and hospital here. Some of the injured are in critical condition. and there Is little hope for their recovery.
 The line on which the disaster hap pened is but twelve miles long. run ming between Mattoon and Charles ton, and has but single track. Tele- phones are placed every few miles through which the orders are trans mitted to conductors and motormen of the cars passing over the road. A misunderstanding of one of these or ders is said to have caused the disas- ter today.

ORDER OF THE oRAToRY.

San Francisco. Aug 3O.-Assistant District Attorney OHara conducted the opening argument in the Glass bribery trial this morning. T. c. Coog- an for the defense followed for two hours. Delmas follows this afternoon Heney will close possibly tonight. he although may not finish until tomor- row morning.
 The biggest crowd since the Glass trial began was on hand this after noon to hear the arguments of Delmas and Heney. The large auditorium was comfortably filled and many persons stood. The lawyers who listened to Delmas' speech. said they considered it one of the most skillful of all his ar guments. The dominant note in the summing up was the declaration that Glass did not possess the executive power to take s5O.OOO in bribe money from the treasury of the company without the authorization by the board of directors. that the evidence abund- antly showed that no such authoriza- tion was ever given nor was the board cognizant of the expenditure. Delmas charged that the bribery if collscted at all. was submitted by the order of President Fish of the parent company. and conveyed through Pickernell to Zimmer; that Trimmer drew the cheeks. cashed them and gave the currency to Halsey 10 hand fo the supervisors. No other power. he said. could have per- mitted the disbursement of so great a sum and kept 1t off te company's books. Delmas closed with powerful appeal to the jury mot to convict the wrong man" After a recess of ten minutes Heney began the closing ar gument for the prosecution
 The physical vigor of Heney's speech was in strong contrast to the manner adopted by Delmas. His ringing voice was heard beyond the confines of the temple as period after period of invec- tice denunciation and interrogation were hurled from his lips. Stigmatiz- ing his opponent. he called before the jury's eye the time honored figure of the scuttlefish beclouding the waters that it may escape its pursuers. over the objection of the defense there was erected in front of the jury pews. a

 Tt Is such modern methods of thiev- ing business" he said, that have be- come so real and terrible a menace to the republic that President Roosevelt himself has entered the field against them. IL is such systemized rascality that has become common practice in business as it is conducted today. that recently provoked Secretary Taft in a public speech to declare that the most important question to come be- fore the American people Is, can our wealthy criminals be compelled to obey the law"

 some Details
Seventy-Nine Victims Fell 1sO Feet to Their Death and Many Others Were Injured. Philadelphia Firm Was Building the Bridge.

Quebec. Aug. 30.-Although twenty four hours has elapsed since the Que bee bridge crashed into the St. Law renee, three score of the bridge work CTS are still held in a meshwork of de- bris at the bottom of the river. A roll call was held this afternoon and con- firmed the early estimate of the loss of life. Seventy-nine men failed to answer and their names were not among the injured at the hospital. Eff teen bodies lie at the morgue awaiting the result of the inquest
 Of the total of @ dead or missing sixteen of the killed are American me chanics. Some of the bodies of the unfortunate men can be seen below the surface of the water tightly wedg- ed in an inextricable network of steel where it is utterly impossible to reach them. Twenty-nine Indians and nine- teen whites are missing.
 Although tugs. rowboats and rafts were used throughout the day to patrol the water over the wrecked bridge the result of their work was the discovery of only one body at low tide this even ing. and this victim was almost cut in two. the body being taken out in two parts. Another body was located near the anchor pier and an effort was made to remove it. but it was found that the whole lower part of the body was held in a grip of steel that was impossible to break.
 The federal government has appoint ed a special commission consisting of Butler. deputy minister of railways and Colllncwood Shreber chief engin- eer. to investigate the cause of the ac- cident. They will be assisted by Hol- gate an engineer of Montreal.

SENSATIONAL STORY
 FROM INDIANAPOLIS
Former Governor Durbin Tells of an Effort of Kentucky Men to Bribe Him.

Chicago. Aug. 30.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Indianapolis says that Winfield T. Durbin. governor of In diana from 1901 to 1905. made a sen sational statement last night.
 Soon after his inauguration as gov ernor. attempts were made to bribe him to turn over William A Taylor. Keutucky's refugee governor, ;o that state for trial on the charge of on spiracy in the murder of Goebel. The offer to former Governor Durbin. ac- cording to his own statement. was s93.OOO in cash. Durbin said that Fay Tor had been advised of the attempted bribery. after it was made cognizant of all that transpired at the meeting at which the s93.O0O was offered.
 Former Governor Durbin said that rhe effort to bribe him came in the shape of invitations to meet certain gentlemen" in Cincinnati ito discuss the connection of Taylor with the Goe- bel murder" He declined the invita- tion saying he would give no consid- eration to the case outside of his own office. State Senator Binkley. since dead, then asked him to come to Gin cinnati He met a number of Ken tuckians in a hotel there. by appoint ment. They told him they were anx- ious to have Taylor returned to Ken lucky for trial and there then remain ed s9S,O00 of the s100.OO0 appropriated and voted by the legislature. All this, they said. they would cheerfully pay to the Indiana executive if he would surrender Taylor to the Kentucky au- thorities or make it possible for them to get him across the Ohio river into that state. Binkley is said to have left the room as soon as the proposi- tion was made. thereby indicating that he would have nothing to do with it.

TIMELY PAPER OF
 J. H. BALFOUR BROWNE
Read Yesterday at the Meeting of the International Law Association in Portland, Maine.

Portland. Me, Aug. 90.-Following is an abstract of the paper on "lnterna-
 tional Law and International Trade
 read by J. H. Balfour Browne, of Lon- don. England:
 No two bodies, such as states. can exist either in war or peace without having some laws governing their re-
 lations No two or more nations can exist without the existence of natural
 laws as to the intersection of one upon the other The more nations emerge from barbarism into civilization. the more their inter-relations and inter- dependencies are increased. the great CT becomes the necessity for the rec ognition of the laws which must reg ulate their mutual relations. lnterna- tional law is the courtesy of nations, and as we advance along the road of civilization We will find that there is the same sanction for these laws, which exist for morals and politeness which are outside the sanction of our courts. but which are really as stren- uously enforced as are our criminal laws.
 There is in our days a tendency to lay stress upon nationality, or the molecular force which forms the state unit; and we have in the last century seen these molecular forces do notable work on the great stage of Europe in the unification of Italy and Germany. Recently, however, we have to note a fission in a national unit in the sepa- ration of Sweden and Norway. And Great Britain has its problem of seg- regation to deal with, either as Scan dinavia has for the time solved it's problem of independence. or as the United States solved it's problem of unity when the southern states en- deavored to camp out" It is neces- sary, however in considering the great questions of international law to have regard to the tendencies alluded to-. The imperialism of Britain does not. as the imperialism of Rome did. aim at a universal empire, but at the consol- idation ot its colonial empire. and the closer relations which still further mutual dependence will bring about between the mother country and the children states. There must still ex- ist units. larger units of nations be- tw cen whom the courtesy of nations tlluSl to tAlSt. put llle ltd- ture of our times is that these nation al units are now, as they ever were before. at work in competitive com merce, and it is with the problem of international competition for trade supremacy that many of the questions of the newer international law must necessarily arise. With the older questions of international law We are more or less familiar. We have seen that one of the main objects of inter- national law is to promote peace-and even in the event of war to prevent the spreading to other na- tions than those that have actually drawn the sword. When two nations are at var international law says it is the dut:' Of others to give them "a fair field and no favor" It is the freedom of commerce in a world of shopkeepers which is tending more and more to the rigors of war, and that very mitigation is q means of peace.

THE ORDER FOR TENTS.

Washington, Aug. 30.-The war de- pertinent has decided to grant the re- quest of the mayor of San Francisco for tents to accommodate patients in the city hospitals who are to be re- moved from the buildings to reduce the chance of extending the ravages of the plague. Acting Secretary Oliver is urged to comply with the application by Surgeon General Wyman, but he has failed to find any legal authority for the gift of the tents. He replied. however. that he would sell the city of San Francisco any number of tents necessary. So far no answer has been received to the offer.
