SECOND GRAFT TRIAL ON.
Six Men Involved in Present Pennsyl
Vania Capitol Case.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 13.-The sec.
growing out of the contracts for fur
nishing and equipping of the new state
capitol has been called for trial in the
Dauphin county court and involves six
men. They are Congressman III. Burk
Cassel of Marietta, Pa, head of the
Pennsylvania Construction company,
which supplied about $2,000,000 worth
of metallic furniture for the building !;
Joseph M. Huston of Philadelphia,
architect of the capitol and designer
of its furniture; William p. Snyder of

Pa, former state treasurer; James
NJ. Shumaker of Johnstown, Pa, a
former superintendent of public
grounds and buildings. and Frank M
Irvine, travelling auditor in the audi.
tor generals department.
In the case on trial the charge
against the six men is conspiracy to
defraud the state out of $5,090.10 In a
bill of S17,7S9.70 for metallic filing
cases and metallic furniture.

MOVEMENT FOR HARMONY
Republicans Anxious to Avoid Split at
National Convention.

Washington, May ia series of
plans are now under way, started by
the Republican leaders, to prevent any
split at the convention next month
and cause danger of defeat next No
vember.
Conferences have been held at both
ends of the Capitol among such men
as Senators Aldrich, Hale, Allison and
Crane and Representatives Payne and
Sherman of New York, Tawney OF
Minnesota, Jenkins of Wisconsin and
Smith of Iowa-in fact, meetings OF
small groups from this list have been
of almost daily occurrence for more
than a week
They have been directed to one end
"a nomination on the first ballot, by
which they mean William Fl. Taft.
Most of the men figuring prominent
ly in this movement were numbered
against Taft early In the campaign
but party policy and the necessity for
harmony has awakened a demand that
personal desires be subordinated to
the will of the majority.
No attempt is made to disguise the
fact that the real impetus to such a
concerted movement in the interest OF
Secretary Taft is the refusal of the
Roosevelt sentiment to be snuffed out
and the danger of such sentiment
spreading to an extent that might be
difficult of control at Chicago.

Colonel Stewart THE president has
made a mistake" he said and added
that that was the reason he was en-

the army before his assignment to
Fort Grant.

INCREASE IN IDLE CARS.
Nineteen Per Cent of country's Equip

5ryan's Son-in-Law Seriously Injured
in Paris.

Paris, May 13.-W. II. Leavitt, a
son-in-law OF William j. Bryan, had a
dangerous encounter in this city with
an Italian named Cana, who had been
sitting for Mr. Leavitt as a model in
connection with a picture which the
American artist is painting for the
city hall at Denver.
After being released from his en-
gagement Cana returned repeatedly to
Mr.. Leayitt's studio and demanded ex-
ira compensation. This was refused
him. The model finally came back
armed with a bludgeon, with which
he struck Mr.. Leavitt blow on the
head. The artist was knocked down,
but he jumped up at once and defend
ed himself with a knife. He slashed
at Cana and cut him in the head.
Help came and the Italian was arrest
ed and taken to hospital. Mr.. Leavitt
was cut on the head by the blow from
the stick, but neither man is in a
dangerous condition.

GOLD TOOTH IN ASHES
Officials Search Debris in Ruins
of the GunneSS Home.
NOW BELIEVE WOMAN DEAD
Every Evidence of Having Come
From the Incinerated Skull of the
Alleged Mut-Murderess.

Laporte, Ind, May 13.-A gold
crown tooth has been found in the
debris of the Guinness home. 1t Is be-
lieved to be from the head of Mrs.
Bella Guinness.
The tooth was found in the debris
of the cellar while Sheriff Smutzer
was continuing his preparations to
begin the sluicing of the ashes. The
relic is a hollow molar, with a gold
crown, the metal being indented and
to some extent encrusted by cinders.
The tooth, however, bears every evil
dence of having come from the incin-
Grated skull of Mrs. Bella Guinness.
Unexplainable evidence, Hitherto
suppressed, has been made public in
the Guinness tragedy 1t is contained
i'm the report of DR.. J. l.. Gray, who
performed the autopsy on the body
which the authorities have steadfastly
claimed is that of Mrs. Bella Guinness.
Dr. Gray, in his report, tells of three
rings which were found upon the
corpse and also reveals the fact that
the right hand, hitherto declared miss
ing, is still in existence.
The rings, which might be expected
to reveal the identity of the wearer,
only add to the mystery of the case.
Two of them contain inscriptions, one
being "P. S. to ]. S. Aug. %, '94," and
the other "P. G. to ]. S. 1885,"
Mrs. Guinness husband was Peter
Guinness, but the identity of y. s.
and "P. s." Is a puzzle which none OF

necessary the committee should have
in preparing its report to the house.
He declared it to be the desire of the
committee to report during this ses-
sion, but intimated that the course of

ing so.
Mr.. Mann's statement was brought
about by the refusal of the New York
