RESULT OF INVESTIGATION
House Committee Criticises Lii
ley of Connecticut.

Washington, May 21-The conclu-
slons of the special committee, which
has been investigating the charges of
Representative Lilley of Connecticut,
that members of the house had been
improperly influenced in connection
with submarine torpedo boat legisla-
tion, that Mr.. Lilley had violated his
obligation as a member and had acted
in bad faith with the committee and
in contempt of the house, were sus-
tanned by the house by vote of Is,
devoted to the case, four of which
were consumed in reading the report
The Connecticut members Joined in
voting against the resolution by which
the house adopted the conclusions of
the committee as it's own.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi de-
nounced Mr.. Lilley as being guilty of
treason, for which, he said, he should
be expelled. He presumed that the
reason the committee did not carry
its report to recommendation to
that end was because Mr.. Lilley was
at his home i'll and unable to be pres
ent to defend himself in such a pro-
ceeding. 1t was a noticeable fact that
the five members of the special com
mittee, Messrs. Boutell, Olmsted, Ste
vens, Broussard and Howard, sat to-
gether throughout the proceedings
and that none of them submitted any
remarks in connection with the report.

MINNESOTA LOSES SUIT.
Great Western Only Pays Two Per
Cent Tax on Main Line.

Cent ak on Main Line.
An order has been filed by Judge
Hallam Of the Ramsey county dis
trlct court at st. Paul in the
case of the state against the Chicago
Great Western Railway company by
which that company is confirmed in
its contention that 1t is required to
pay only 2 per cent gross earnings
tax on it's main line running from St.
Paul to the Iowa state line.
The decision, unless reversed on an.
peal, will forever prohibit the state
from collecting more than 2 per cent
gross earnings taxes on that portion
of the Chicago Great Western system
which was originally the property of
the Minnesota and Northwestern Rail
way company.
In 1906 Attorney General Young in.
st1tuted suit against the Chicago Great
Western company demanding judg.
ment for the state in the sum of s24.-
1882. 1t was set forth that 4 per
cent of the gross earnings for the
year 1905 amounted to $49,959.24 and
that the company had paid $24,97962
as gross earnings tax The railroad
company set up that it was exempt
as to the property in question from
the per cent tax by virtue of the
charter granted March 1, 1856, to the
Minnesota and Northwestern company
by the territorial legislature and
Judge Hallam decided in favor of the
company.

sWer to criminal charge in the shape
OF four indictments for receiving a
deposit in an insolvent bank. He

The gravamen of the charge is that
the defendant, knowing the two pri-
vate banks, the Midway bank and the
Hamllne bank, to be insolvent, accept
ed these deposits named in the indict
ments. That he must have realized at
the time that the men who made the
deposits could not in the natural
course OF events get their money back.

ADJOURNMENT DELAYED.
Congress to Remain in Session Pos
sibly Until June 1.

Washington, May Pit was stated
at the Capitol on apparently good au-
thority that congress would not ad-
jOurn earlier than Wednesday, May
27, and that there was a possibility of
the session being prolonged until
June l. The unsettled condition of
several important measures which are
now in conference between the two
houses and the doubt that exists as to
the final disposition of the public
buildings bill have combined to make
impossible an adjournment this week.
While Speaker Cannon was not will
ing to make any statement for pub
lication it is known that the house
leaders are planning to get away some
time next week If possible.

Differences at Cleveland Are to Be
Arbitrated.
Cleveland, May 21.-Apparently the
last obstacle in the way of peaceful
settlement of the pending street car
strike in this city was removed when
the employees of the old Forest City
company, the original Scent car line,
agreed to leave their seniority rights
in the hands of the arbitrators. This
has been the chief bone of contention
between the union leaders and Pres
ident du Pont of the Municipal Trac-
tion company since the beginning of
the present trouble. President du
Pont has insisted throughout that he
would give the Forest City men who
stood by the company and refused to
strike the nrst choice of runs.

The Ghost of a Famous Town.

Virginia City is indeed a strange town-a living skeleton. In the height of its opulence it boasted a population of 3O,OO0. Today there are less than one tenth that many, dilapidation and ruin are seen on every hand. The chief streets terrace along a great hill side Farthur up the slope are wastes of sagebrush growing in stunted clumps that half hide the earth with their gray twigs and foliage Down below is a valley where the mines have dumped vast heaps of waste The entire region is a wild upheaval of hills, and around the horizon are seen ranges of snowy topped mountains. The only trees are an occasional gnarled scrub pine or dwarf cedar few feet high. Formerly scrub pines of fair size were plentiful on the hills; but they were practically all used for firewood long years ago. After they were gone some Chinamen ran wood yard and sold pine roots. Probably 150 donkeys were engaged in toiling about the uplands and bringing in the stumps and roots of the old scrub pines This material, too. was ex- hausted presently and now the fuel comes by train.
 The town streets are rough and dirty, and as I walked about I was constantly encountering old tin cans and getting my feet tangled up in wires from the baled hay. Buildings in good repair are rarities. There are tottering fences and ragged walls and broken roofs and smashed glass, and many windows and doors are boarded up.
 The search for gold has resulted in tearing the country all to pieces. Ev- anywhere the hills are dotted with prospectors holes. From any height you can see dozens-perhaps hundreds. They suggest the borrowing of wood chucks or prairie dogs. The region along the Comstock lode abOunds, too in deserted shafts. Usually the spots where had been the buildings and the machinery for working the abandoned mines are now only marked by great dumps of waste. with possibly a few immense foundation stones and irons.
 Two miles from Virginia City is the village of Gold Hill, if anything dead CT than its neighbor There is the same dilapidation and wreckage. and the same canting walls and neglect of repairs. On the borders of this ham let I met a Scotchman who affirmed that his cabin was the oldest dwelling in the region. The main part con- tained single room, but there was a lean-tO at the rear, and a little cave ran back under the hill The owner invited me to rest myself and, as we entered, a gray cat departed through a missing window pane-From "A Ne vada Town With a Past" by Clifton Johnson, in the Outing Magazine for December.

AN UNNoTICED SUFFERER.

Amid the excitement which attend ed the trial which has been going or in district court this week, there has been a thoughtless withholding oi sympathy for the chief sufferer, who so far as we know, is not to blame So far as we know, nobody living is to blame The jury has not yet said so.
 We are speaking of the woman in the case who appears to have been drawn into the affair by circum- stances amid which she groped blind Iy Her married life had been un- happy, by whose fault, if anybody's, has not been disclosed. She was a hard working woman and women who work hard are not apt to be bad. If she consents to a brave struggle with poverty, it is a sign that there is more good than bad in her.
 But whether she has erred or not, hers has been only an error of judg- ment and her punishment has been terrible, entirely disproportionate to the offense, for of all who suffer in this day of all days, when there ought to be no suffering. her case is one which calls the loudest for sym pathy and charity.
 The whole thing has been a most unfortunate business. None who were involved in it, the living or the dead, were viciously inclined. If any one of a half dozen seemingly unimpor- tant things had happened just little differently, there would have been nothing of it.
 If the victim had been a half a dozen minutes later he would still be alive. If it had not been for a tantalizing word, a woman would not now be groveling in despair. If a young man who enjoyed the respect of all who knew him had kept his head for an instant at critical mo- ment he would not be anXiously won dering this morning where he might be next Thanksgiving day.
 On how little things does so much depend.
 There is another thing When un- fortunate persons, such as those who have filled the public eye this week, have been dragged into the public gaze, it seems as it there ought to be a way to inquire whether a partic- ular Offense has been committed against society without imputing to them offenses with which they are not charged-without the entire tear ing down of character in an effort to locate a suspected defect.

AN EXOTIC HOLIDAY.

Thanksgiving is seldom at its best in this latitude. It is not a tropical or subtropical festival. We lack the leaden November sky,
 'The bowling winds, the naked woods, The meadows brown and sere"
 The Thanksgiving was for the Pur- itans, whose hearts were overflowing with joy at their freedom of religious worship; for the conquest of the savage wilderness and it's still more savage denizens. The sum- mer had been bounteous and they looked forward to months, not of idleness, but of devotion, uninterrupt- ed by daily toll.
 The Thanksgiving naturally spread to all parts of the country where Winter asserts his sovereignty during the so-called winter months. Thanks giving became the beginning of a period of religious reawakening for those who were religiously inclined and the beginning of a season of worldly enjoyment to those who were not, but whose enjoyment seemed hallowed by the season. All entered into the spirit of the day. As we are situated, we miss something of appreciation of it, just as we miss the snow and frost of Christmas.
 We have a climate for which to be perpetually thankful; but there's the trouble. A blessing continuously enjoyed comes to be regarded as a matter of course and for matters of course we do not give thanks.
 But speaking of Manufacturing weather, it seems at the hour of go- ing to press, that we are going to come as near having it today as any body really wants.

THE RUFF TRIAL.
Time Taken Up With Examination of
 the Bribed Furey.

San Francisco, Nov. 25.-J. J. Furey, former member of the board of super visors, and the third witness called in the trial of Abraham Ruef, occupied the stand during the morning session. Ruefs trial is on the particular in dictment charging him with bribery of Furey.
 The latter was subjected to lengthy cross examination by Henry Ach. who confined himself for the most part to comparisons of the testi- mony given by Furey on his examina- tions by the prosecution and his an- swers to questions of similar import at the former trial.
