SEARCH MANSION OF
THE V~ANDERBILTS

New York. jar. 29.-Just before the
MISUNDERSTANDING wedding it was
disclosed that the United States cus-
ON house authorities have had the
home Of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the
elder, at Fifth avenue and Fifty Eighth
street searched.
This was done on charges made to
officials that Il part Of the bridal
trousseau of Miss Gladys and many
of her costly presents had not been de-
clared for duty when brought into this
country. TIL information that caused
the visit of the government official to
the home OF the Vanderbilts was con-
veyed III letters to the collector of the
port. Whether they were signed or
anonymous has not been made public.
Unjust, perhaps as the matter all
seemed to the Vanderbiits, it was ex-
planned later that it was the only thing
to do.
Despite the a C hat they are worth
Over $1,000, 900 and are under constant
police guard. it is said that the gifts
showered upon Miss Vanderbilt are
less in number and costliness than the
offerings at earlier Vanderbilt we'd
dings. One striking feature is the great
number Of small presents. The new
countess will be able to take her pick
of quite two dozen fans. With travel
ing bags and kits and toilet articles
wrought in gold she can equip a score
of women.

CAPITOL GRAFT
TRIAL BEGINS

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 29.--Not since
the trial of Senator M. S. Quay, ten
years ago. for conspiracy to wreck the
Philadelphia bank, has there been such
interest in a trial as has been mani
tested throughout Pennsylvania in the
proceedings ECU today against the
men charged with a conspiracy to loot
the state treasury in connection with
the construction and furnishing of the
state capitol building.
Since the revelations of nearly two
years ago, in which some of the fore
most me- OF the state were involved,
the imposing, white marble structure
on Capitol hill, with it's orEate furnish
ings and frescoes, has been a point of
great interest to curiosity seekers and
citizens generally. EXcursioniStS a

by a desire to see bronze chandeliers
alleged to be loaded with tons of Lead;
commonplace furniture, paid for'at fab
ulous price per foot" paintings and
frescoings for which there is said to
have been an ~overcharge of hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
The trial of the alleged conspirators
is being conducted in u dingy, old
fashioned county courthouse. Its re-
sources have been stretched to the
limit to accommodate the defendants,
the attorneys and the newspaper CORE

all achuckle over a story of a COW that
came to the college and was permitted

lege farm to the sacred precincts OF the
fair sex. At midnight the frolicsome
students hoisted the COW up the steps
leading to the second foor of Parrish
hall, where a portion ofcoeds have their
habitat. Half an hour later the night
Waterman was startled by shrill cries
from the second story. His efforts to
remove "Bossy" were resisted. The
animal refused to move, and it was
found necessary to wait until morning.

was arrested for criminal assault upon
Mrs. Clara Erwin. The lights in the
Jail were quickly extinguished, the
guards armed themselves at the doors
and a riot call was turned In to the

groups around town. To prevent fur
Their trouble. Sheriff ackson later took
a committee of four men through the

satisfied itself that Edwards was not
there, and SO notified the would-be
lynchers. There was talk of going to
Abba. but cooler ms prevailed.
Tbs assault upon Mrs. Erwin is but

whose title to a senatorial seat was

the Senate ever went through SO long
and trying an ordeal in that body as
dld he. Modest by allure but with
plenty OF opinions. and convictions, he
was compelled so long as his case was
pending to himself as if he
were on probation. For one thing. in
the anxious effort to cultivate the good
graceS OF fellow senators he became
notoriously the greatest listener on
earth. He never left the chamber while
anybody was talking. He earned the
art of listening to perfection. He al

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES BILL
INTRODUCED nv KNOX

Washington, Jan. 2S.-A bill of tremend-
Jus Importance to hundreds of thousanda
of railway employees throughout the coun.
try has been introduced in the Senate by
Senator Philander G. Knox. of Pennsyl-
vania, and is now under consideration by
the judiciary committee Of that body. This
bill is designed 10 take the place Of the
employers liability bill, which was de.
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court Of the United States.
The Knox bill makes all railroads en-.
gagged IN interstate liable to
their employees for injury incurred in serv.
ice, and to their heirs in the event of a
fatal accident. The fellow servant doc.
trine Is overturned by the Knox bill and
the rule OF c~ontributory negligence Is
greatly modified. Unde Its terms the
mere fact that an employee is injured OF
killed through the negligence Of a fellow
employe does not relieve the employer
from responsibility. Nor does contribu-
tory negligence bar an injured employe
from claiming damages. 1t merely lessons
the amount of damage in proportion tc
the percentage Of negligence contributed
Under the terms of this bill, no contract
of employment, Insurance., relief benefit
ETC., can constitute a bar or defense to
any action brought to recover damages
for personal injuries or death. Mr.. Knox
Is looked upon as one Of the great lawyers
Of the country and it is believed that IL
MS Dill ne mas met all OF the objections
raised to the former law by the supreme
court. He believes that the railroad mer
deserves this greater consideration from
their employers, and he has stated thai
he proposes to urge this bill to a vote d:
the earliest feasible time. In discussing
his bill, Senator Knox said:
II nave drawn this bill with a view tc
meeting the objections of the supreme
court to the former law. Congress will be
obliged to take up this question:, for the
me employed upon the railroads are en-
titled to a more humane law than thai
now in effect. The bill / have drawn will,
i believe, prove effective, but / an not
~irrevocably committed to it's phraseology.
Personally, / Will welcome all suggestions
bearing npon the subject, and l feel SURE
that from this and other bills that will be
referred to the Judiciary committee, the
committee will be able to report q bill
entirely satisfactory and that will stand
the test Of the courts"
