D0UMA AGAIN SAVED.
Radicals Fail to Force Adoption of
Compulsory ErprO priqtion.

st. Petersburg June s.--The attempt made
to-day by the radical members of the lower
house of parliament to instruct the Agrarian
sorry appropriation of land was defeated by the
Constitutional Democrats, who succeeded in rail-
lying a sufficient majority from the Centre and
Right parties 10 accomplish their end AS
suit. one of the most pressing menaCes to the
continuance Of the Douma is removed
A declaration in favor OF appropriation
doubtedly would have sufflced TO turn the scale
against the Douma in the present crisis. but the
victory Of the Constitutional Democrats is likely
to cost them dear IN the matter OF their pres
tige among the peasants. II involves the virtual
abandonment, for the time being. of the prin
cple OF appropriation although the spokesman
Of the party maintained the necessity of this
principle an dthe ultimate settlement of the
problem.
The second battle over the question OF am
nesty has been postponed until Monday. This
also will place the Constitutional Democrats in
an unpleasant position before the country.
the masses are not able TO comprehend the
ground on which it is proposed to table the rad
ical bill.
The debate day was somewhat heated. tho
Social Democrats attacking violently Premier
Stoypns attitude on the agrarian question. Tho
leaders OF the various parties were heard, and
several resolutions were proposed. Finally the
president OF the house put the previous question
10 vote and the Douma by 23s ayes TO 191 noes,
rejected tho adoption OF any formula or reso-
luton.

NO HAU CONFESSION.
Prisoner Is Informed Of the Suicide
Of His Wife.

Carlsruhe. Germany. June s.-Karl Hau. pro-
fessor Of Roman law at the George Washington
University. in Washington. who is In prison
here charged with the murder OF his nother-in-
law. Frau Molitor visited by tho governor
OF the prison to-day and informed that his wife
had committed suicide by drowning In a lake
near Pfaeffikon Switzerland.
The Governor had long conversation with
the professor which led to a report that tho lat
ter had confessed that he had murdered his
wfes mother. which he has strenuously denied
The states attorney subsequently denied the re-
port that Hau had made a confession.
Mrs Hau came TO CarlsTuhe two DAYS tCo
and had long talk with her husband. She left
the prison in state OF the utmost depression
and went back TO the village OF PfaeTikon> on
arriving there Mrs. Hau went direct 20 a bathink
establishment on the small lake near Pfaenkon
and asked for separate dressing room.
The attendants later Mrs. Hau swimming
out IN tho lake, but soon afterward they OBJ
served that she was no longer moving. A boat
man rowed out to the spot and brought the BODY
ashore, where physician attempted in vain TO
resuscitate me woman.
A long farewell letter was found in Mrs Hau's
clothing in which she declared that II was i'm
possible for her to bear longer the sorrow Of liv-
ing apart from her husband, notwithstanding
the charge brought against him. II said how
ever that death bitter for her because of
her child. A considerable sum OF money was
also found in Mrs. Hau's clothing.

WITHOUTO.K.
TaCO Years Later Capitol Erpendi-
tures We're ApprOUed.

Harrisburg Penn June s.-The loose methods
of doing business employed by the state fiscal
officers during the construction and furnishing
of the Capitol we're revealed at to-days
hearing by the Investigation committee The
testimony OF employees of the Auditor General
and state treasury department showed that bills
amounting to s4ss.OO0 were not approved by tho
Superintendent Of Grounds and Buildings until
two years after they we're paid.
1t also shown that there was check
upon the articles or bills. that in one instance
metallic furniture TO the value of nearly $4,000
paid for under schedule entirely different
from that uDon which the contract made.
and that there was no pretence of auditing any
of the bills
The warrant clerk OF the Auditor Generals
department testified that the warrants for pay
ment of Capitol furnishings were delivered 20
the Auditor General. but that all other
rants mailed by the clerk to the payees.
Another clerk testified that the Auditor Gen
erals report for 1900 and 1906 showing the de-
tailed expenditures on the new Capitol. had not
yet been published. although he prepared the
copy for both reports and delivered II his
superior officer long ago.
The testimony also showed that prior 20
March. 1905, the settlements for the Capitol fur
nIshings We're made by the Auditor General and
state Treasurer. and that subsequently these
settlements were approved by Governor Penny
packer, their colleague the Board of Grounds
and Buildings. a bill of S25,OtO for models was
paid by the state before the actual material had
been worked upon.
The strongest point developed the pay
ment Of 81 .500,OOO on the authority OF Auditor
General Snyder and State Treasurer Mathues
for metallic furniture and other articles for
1904-'O6 These payments were made without
the approval of the Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds. and solely upon the CertiicatiOn
of Architect Huston. After the election Of Will
Tam II. Berry. Democrat. as State Treasurer the
approval of the superintendent was obtained to
the bills paid during the two previous years.
The Auditor General furnished the supertptend-
ent with a list of bills which We're placed in his
book and this, IL was SHOWN. was the first rec
ord he had of .he transaction
The commission will resume the taking OF
testimony next Thursday.

II UNION OF REPUBLICS.
Plans at Merico City for Central
american Federation.

Mexico CITY, June S.-Pans for the fedora
ton of the five Central American republics have
at last taken definite form. Ii plans are realized
a great congress will be held in Mexico
City attended by two hundred delegates. OF
these hundred and fifty will be Central
Americans now resident in Mexico. while the
remainder will be regularly appointed delegates
from the five republics
Dr. Francisco Reyes. formerly Minister to
Mexico from Salvador is the leader of the move
ment and he will shortly visit each Central
American republic TO explain the situation
One obstacle which the leaders are trying to
overcome is the lack of official character which
the meeting may have It is the hope of the
leaders that conditions may shape themselves
that they prevail President Dlaz to call
the meeting.
While President Diaz has emphatically an
nOunced that Mexico does not entertain the idea
of a prOteCtorate in the settlement of Central
American troubles it is argued that the mere
calling of the proposed convention would in no
way Interfere with Mexico's previous declara-
ton and would give the assembly the desired
standing before the world. The whole question
of federation could then be settled by the Gen.
trai Americans themselves.
telegram was received tonight saying that
Senor Gomez. confidential agent of President
Zelaya of Nicaragua, would leave New orleans
tomorrow for Mexico City. where he would con-
fer with President Diaz. The promoters of the
congress believe that much hinges this con-
ference. The telegram added that Fernando
Sanchez. formerly Minister of Foreign Relations
of Nicaragua and once Minister from Nicaragua
70 Ecuador, Venezuela and Salvador, would
leave New York for Mexico City the accredited
Minister to Mexico from Nicaragua Luis Fe-
lpe COrea, Minister of Nicaragua to the United
States is at this time also accredited to Mexico,
but it is said. the coming of Sanchez will nulIify
" be ha
representative to the United States only.
DR.. Reyes will call a meeting of the junta of
Central Americans on Monday. At this meeting
manifesto VIII be drawn setting forth the pro-
posed federation plans. Later mass meeting
Of Central Americans from all over the republic
will be held here. Already one hundred and
fifty have signified their intention of attending.
The manifesto will then be adopted and DR..
Reyes will be empowered to push the plan in
Central America.

had deep cut over the left temple The doctor
said she had probably been over by a trucs
or an automobile. The other physicians. who
also examined the infant, did not agree with
DR.. David as To how she received her injuries-
They said that if the child had been run over
by truck tine injuries would have been entirely
different.
The cause of the chiId's death is apparently a
mystery, and will remain until an autopsy -
held
The three men went with the father to the
hospital When Detective Wall of the Oak
street station. examined the father and the men
ne found that their statements did not agree
The men said that Mullins did not leave ths
child in their charge. and that he went into the
saloon without saying anything about the baby.

niCtng stories. and asked the father If he want
