INDEMNITY MONEY
House Reduces Sum to Be Paid
by China More Than
SIO,OOO,OOO

WASHINGTON, May 23-The joint
resolution providing for the remission
of portion of the Chinese indemnity
arising out OF the Boxer troubles in
1900 came UP in the house today under
suspension of the rules. DENLY of
Michigan briefly rehearsed the Incl

$6,000,0Q0, of which $4,000, 900 had gone
toward the liquidation OF private
claims Denby assured the house that
even with the remission of the &c.,
10000 there would still remain ample
funds with which to pay all claimants.
The action of the committee on for
eign affairs in amending the resolution
so as to increase by $2,000.000 the
amount of the indemnity to be paid. as
well as providing for the review by the
court of claims of claims disallowed In
whole or In part, was severely con-
demned by Stafford of Wisconsin.
The question is" said he. whether
Secretary Root shall be upheld or
whether some claimant shall have the
opportunity of looting the treasury"
The bill as amended by the commit
tee was supported by Perkins of New
York. Howard of Georgia and Williams
Of Mississippi
So imbued was Williams with the
justice of the measure that he did not
insist upon a roll call, and it was

HOM[ST[ADS Bill
House Votes Against Scheme
That Would Aid Stock
men, Not Settlers

WASHINGTON. May "a fiutter OF
excitement was created in the house to-
day during the consideration OF the
conference report on the bill providing
for enlargement homesteads. Monden
OF wyoming and Hayes OF Tennessee,
who had signed the report, urged its
adoption.
Reeder of Kansas, however bitterly
opposed the report and the bill, and in
the course of his remarks made the
following statement:
People in the west seldom send men
here who don't vote for what they
want, and I presume men who advo-
cate this bill have hundreds Of thou
SANDS OF acres of western land and
they have the American disposition to-
ward everything that adjoins them.''
Mondell interpreted this remark as
renection upon himself and called
Reeder to order. The stenographers'
notes were transcribed and read, the
members crowding in front of the
speakers desk
Speaker Cannon held that the words
spoke for themselves and that they
ala not constitute reflection upon
any member
Mondell accepted the ruling, but at
the same time declared that he thought
ne neard other words not taken down.
| The incident, which at first had an
ugly aspect, thereupon was closed.
Strong opposition developed to the
report and 1t was defeated, SO to 14s.
The principal arguments advanced
against the measure were based on the
supposition that cattlemen of the west
and not legitimate homesteaders, would
benefit by this provision, but this hy-
pothesis was vigorously combated
Mondel1, In charge Of the report, made
an attempt to send the bill back to
conference. but his effort was futile.

Ilton. barely escaped serious injury
when their airs2lip with it's engine dis

Into the center field bleachers at the
Toledo baseball park this afternoon
during a ball game.
With apparent control Knabenshue
sailed from his Collingwood aerodrome

vers he started the flight to the city,
carrying the passengers suspended in
wicker baskets.
Flying high until almost lost in the
clouds. then descending TO the tops
of the houses and trees. the big ship
answered the will of the operator
while thousands of spectators lined
the streets and the windows of the
sffice buildings, cheering every move
the ship would make until it reached
the ball park
Suddenly the ship, that was then
speeding against the wind 1000 feeA
high. came TO a stop and began to
descend, slowly at nrst, but rapidly
increasing its speed, entirely at the
mercy OF the air currents. knaben-
shue heroically craTled from his bas-
ket and crept along the delicate frame
in a futile effort TO start the engine
which had stopped.
A strong gust of wind carried the
craft across the baseball diamond and
IL crashed into the center field bleach
ers. The occupants were hurled from
their baskets. but escaped with a few
bruises. The ships frame was totally
destroyed. but the bag and engine were
unharmed- Knabensilue was unable to

Adolfo Viteri made him home in San

employed by the firm of Urruela & Uri-
oste, now known as George de Urioste
q co. John Martinon of 1851 Filbert
street worked with him and was close
friend during all the time Viteri re-
mained In this country. Both Adolfo
and Juan Viteri were strong exponents
of American citizenship, yet neither of
them was inclined to mix in politics
or take hand in revolutionary trou-
bles in their own republic. They were
popular here and after returning to
Guatemala Adolfo married Miss Clara
Name, said to be the most beautiful
woman OF that country.
Consul General Felipe Galicia of
Guatemala was inclined yesterday to
treat the accounts of assassinations in
Guatemala with contempt and insisted
that they were probably exaggerated.
In support of his. statement he said
that he had received no reports of the
trouble beyond certain indefinite ru-
mors which involved the names OF no
Americans. and he produced a copy of
the Guatemala Post OF recent date,
which commended the course being
taken by President Cabrera. His state
ments are at wide variance from those
of others In this city who have received
personal letters, yet his stand is easily
accounted for by the strictness of the
censorship which Cabrera has exercised
to keep knowledge of the assassina-
tions from being made public.

which may here and there affect the
