ARRESTED IN WHITE HOUSE.
Congressman Attending a Party
 When There Was a Call.

Washington, May 16.-When the republican leaders of the house got ready yesterday afternoon to send the currency bill to conference they dis covered to their embarrassment that l q quorum was not on hand. So the sergeant -at-arlns was told 10 bring in absent members. Inquiry by that olli- cer disclosed that the thin attendance was due to Mrs Rooseyclt's garden party in honor of the visiting govern ors.
 "I guess there's nothing to do Dut send yoA boys to the White House to gather 'em in," said Speaker Cannon 10 Sergeant-at-arms Cass0n, and q bunch of deputies was ordered to per- form his duty.
 There was not any garder party. strictly speaking. The White House lawns were soggy with rain and the atmosphere was raw and altogether uncomfortable. The garden party bad been adjourned to the interior of the mansion. How the deputies managed to obtain an entrance to the White House is q mystery. but get in they did and began singling out the truant congressman. Republicans preferred. One story is that the Hon Nicholas Longworth. representative from Ohio and son-in-law of the president. was caught red-handed while he was try. ing to escape to the sacred upstairs precincts of the residence. Represen- tativc Dawson. handsome young fellow from Iowa, was stopped at the very door of the mansion and made to return to the capitol. Representa- tive Hun of Pennsylvania was hay. ing q pleasant conversation with Mrs Roosevelt when a gentlcmanly deputy tapped him on the shoulder and e. marked, Call of the house: you will have to Q there at once" NIT Hun went.
 Two score of frock coated represpn- tatives of the people were dragged rutblessly from the scene of gayety :o attend the call of duty at the bar of the house. Technically under arrest they were taken to the capitol in car riages and automobiles provided by the sergeants-at-arms and arrived in plenty Of time 10 vote as their con- sciences and the leaders dictated. IL is noi every day that one has an invitation to an indoor garden pariy ai the White House, and most of those who were haled to the capitol were pretty sore over the rude iller- ruption Of their enjoyment.

CLEVELAND'S ILLNESS
Former President Too III 10 Re ply 10 Message of Sympathy
 From the Conference.

Lakewood, May 16.-Ex-President Grover Cleveland was too ill to make any reply to the resolution adopted by the governors conference at Washington, in which regret was ex- pressed that he could not participate and hoping for his early recovery. Dr Joseph D. Bryant, his physi- elan and old time friend, who is at tending the conference, got the Lake wood hotel on the long distance tele- phone wire at II o'clock yesterday morning, and read the resolution to Assistant Manager Becker. Mrs Cleye- land was notified of it's purport, but she sent word back that her hus- band was sleeping and could not be disturbed.
 Mrs Cleveland sent to the newspa- per representative last night her us- ual message that the patients condi- tion was improving; that he was bet ter than he was week ago. .
 Word that comes from the sick room through unofficial channels IS to the effect that MT Cleveland has fall en into an apathy from which it is difficult to arouse him. He sleeps great deal of the time and is irri- table when awakened. He does not leave his bed and absolutely nothing from the outside world is brought to his attention.
 In the absence of Dr Bryant Dr G. Rowe Lockwood is with MT Cleve- land day and night.
 The fact that the Cleveland chil- dren have not yet been brought to their fathers bedside is the only cir cumstance which would indicate that Mrs Clevelands optimistic bulletins are warranted.
 It is said that the former president is frequently visited by a retired Lakewood clergyman, who is his per- sonal friend as we'll as former pastor when the Clevelands lived here, be- tween MT Cleveland's first and second terms. But on this point no informa- ton is vouchsafed at the closely guarded hotel.

THE MERRILL COLLECTION.
Yale Gets Many Samples Accumulated
 In Sixteen Years.

New Haven, May 16.-Prof A. E. Verrill of Yale university has sold to the university his great collection of marine invertebrates, fishes and bottom samples acquired during his work for the United Staes fish com mission in the 16 years from 1873 to 1887. The collection is the duplicate of one secured at the same time and since transferred to the National mu- scum of the Smithsonian institute at Washington. The duplicate collec- tions are said to be the finest of the kind in the world and were obtained at cost estimated at several hun dred thousand dollars. They include nearly all the known specimens as well as undescribGd ones of marine vertibrates found between Labrador to the West Indies taken from all depths down to 2,600 fathoms, and include more than 100000 specimens in eacii 5000 species. More than $25,000 has been spent for work on the col lection apart from the cost of collect ing itself. Prof VerrilPs collection is in excellent condition and thoroughly labeled and catalogued. The collec- tion will be placed permanently in Peabody museum, where a smaller part of it has heretofore been on ex- hibition. The curator of the museum estimates that similar collection cannot be made for a cost of less than $500,000 Prof Verrill received the collection from the commission in place of all other compensation during the 16 years when he was practically in charge of all the com missions work. The price paid for the collection by Yale is not given out.

SCHMID'S CASE
The Defence Filed Some New Papers To-Day With inc
 Superior Court
OUTCOME IS WATCHED

The defense in the suit of Karl Schmid against the local union of brewery workmen showed its hand to-day by filing return with the superior court. This paper, drawn up by Attorney C.. w. Bauby, says that local union No 126 of the Inter- national Union of United Brewery Workmen of America, notified Schmid on November 26, 1907, to attend a meeting at which evidence was to be taken in charges that were brought against him, and that he did not attend that meeting. Evi- dence was taken and by unanimous vote of the union Schmid was ex- pelled. By not appearing, the paper contends, he forfeited his rights and privileges.
 Schmid is charged with denuncia- ton of his fellow workmen and brothers in the union to their su- periors or employers. He is charged with using insulting and slanderous language about the officers of the local union, interfering with the workmen under him and using lan- guage toward them that humiliated and reduced them in their self esteem; that he also reduced them in their positions as workmen, that he promised workmen certain work and positions and gave them other work different and inferior to which he promised, and that he practiced deception upon them. He is further charged with promising them cer- tain rates of wages and with not keeping his promise. That he de- prived fellow union men of employ ment by doing work that could be done by union workmen other than himself as brew master.
 The return states that Schmid had an opportunity to be heard in these charges and he failed to appear. and that he was expelled and did not take the proper course to file an ap- peal The paper goes on to state that
 when Schmid was advanced to the
 position of brew master he was
 thereby made ineligible to member ship in the union. At this time he
 was in the employ of the Eagle
 Brewing Co. It is charged against
 him that he did not seek employment elsewhere but from the Eagle Brew
 ing Go, and that any brew master or assistant brew master can get ems ployment from any brewing company in America or Canada without being
 necessarily member of a union of the craft.
 It is alleged that he voluntarily
 left the employ of the Eagle Brew 1 ing Co, went to Germany on Noyem- Der 26, 1907, and could not be pre- vented from getting employment now
 from the Eagle company. The de- fense concludes with the statement that there are 467 non-union brew. ing concerns in this country and Canada and Schmid could have found
 work with any of these had he tried to get it.
 Schmid was busted from the union
 last fall and he claims he was H.
 legally elected and now he wants to be restored to full benefits and mem.
 bership.

LILLEY CRITICIZED.
What the Army and Navy Journal
 Has to Say About Him.

"It would be a good thing for Mir Lilley of Connecticut and other mem- bers of the house of representatives to dip into congressional history be- fore bringing charges of corrupt prac- tices. A legislative body does not take kindly to a member who goes out of his way, even with the best of intentions. to assail the character of it's membership. A case in point is that of Richard Fletcher. brill liant lawyer of Boston, Mass. who was elected to. congress as a whig over Charles Sumner more than sew enty years ago. A great career which his friends had predicted for him was blighted by his making of charges he could not sustain. No corruption was involved in his allega- tion. but his inability to make good" made him persona non grata. He simply alleged that a bill had been prepared by President Van Bu- ren and not by the committee in charge of it. The committee de- nounced him and asked for proof. He could not give anN This ended  his usefulness in the house. While this fate may not befalI Mir Lilley. it is certain he has got nothing out of the investigation of his charges but humiliation and high reputation for gullihility. His allegations that cor rupt methods had been employed to obtain submarine contracts the house committee found to be without foundation. The net results of the resolution MT Lilley introduced on February 20. which forced the in- vestigation. seem to be one thousand five hundred pages of worthless tes- timony and a breakdown in his health. While no one will criticize a legislator for having a keen sense of honor and being quick to resent any reflection on the character of the body with which he is associated. no member of. congress can be excused for bringing charges against his coI- leagues unless the certainty of his proof makes his action a public duty"

BLUE AND CRIMSON
Annual Track Meet al Cam. bridge, Race of Ocean Yachts
 From Marblehead.

Cambridge, Mass, May 16.-The great interest which always at taches to dual sporting contests be- tween Harvard and Yale was in evi- idence to-day at the annual track meet between the wearers of the blue and the crimson. Aside from the fact that Harvard and Yale were the competing teams, the meet promised much in the way of in. teresting exhibitions and close con tests, as the teams were considered evenly matched and among the par ticipants were several who are re. sarded as among the best in the country.
 Neither Harvard nor Yale could be said to have well balanced team both relying largely on the points III d few events to give them an advan- tage. On the one hand Harvard $ performers were conceded major. ity of points in the jumps, both high and broad, the shot put. and the half and two mile runs, while Yale was depending largely upon the hammer throw, pole vault, 100. yard dash, and the quarter and mile runs for their hopes of a Blue sue, cess. Two events were considered as doubtful by followers of each the 220-yard dash and the low hnr, dies, and the outcome of these was expected to decide the meet. As both these events were among the last to be decided, the followers oi the games expected close contest with the decision always in doubt until the finish.
 Followers of sports at Harvard had wealth of attractions to choose between for patronage to-day, there being, beside the track games in the stadium, the Harvard-Princeton baseball game on Soldiers field, g freshman baseball game between Harvard and Brown and on the river Harvard-Interclass rowing regatta.
 The weather conditions were ex' celient.

YOUTH LOSES s5OO,OOO

London, May 16.-A decision was handed down in the chancery court to-day holding that divorce se- cured in Dakota was not valid In either Canada or Scotland.
