A Busy Session For the
Maine Legislators. 7.
Some Of the Things They
Have Been Accomplishing.
Each Of the Maine Delegation Has
Had important Tasks.

Washington, D. c., May 26-(Spe-
ciaD.-Any assertions that the Con-
gress just closing has been a do-noth-
ing Congress will hardly apply to any
members of the Maine delegation in
the Senate or the House. The first
month or two were not especially
busy months with the Maine men at
the Capitol, but they have made all
that up in the months following. In
fact, as a whole this session has been
one of the busiest the Maine Senators
and members have had for several
years and there is not man of the
six who has not accomplished a great
deal of work.
That is truer of no one of them than
of Senator Hale, who is the senior Of
all the delegation in point of Con-
gressional service. During the earlier
months of the session, when the regu-
lar business had not been gotten well
under way, he took up the investiga-
ton of features of the naval service.
This investigation was particularly
addressed to charges that the ships of
the navy were not we'll constructed.
Extensive hearings We're conducted by
which the SenatorSwas chairman. One
of it's important results was the estab-
lisnment beyond question that criti-
cisms of battleship construction were
not well founded. That has come now
to be generally conceded, one of the
last to publicly announce his opinion
to that end having been Rear Ad-
miral Evans, who has just taken the
battleship fleet around South America.
Senator Hale was well satisfied with
the result of that investigation from
more than one standpoint. 1t quick
ened the popular interest in the navy
ard likewise brought into compact
form authoritative information about
important navy subjects.
Early in the session also Senator
Hale was busy in helping frame a
financial bill. He did a vast amount
of work in shaping up provisions,
which it was hoped would be ac-
ccptable to Congress and to the cOun-
try. AS soon as the session was in
full swing, the consideration of ap-
preparations was begun. That work
alone is arduous for man occupying
the Maine Senator's position as chair
man of Naval affairs and virtually
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee. The Maine Senator has done
as much this winter in handling APP
preparations as ever before. A few of
the Senate leaders do as much per
man in that line as half dozen of the

ed to by the defence, on the ground
that the stenographer's original notes
had been destroyed. The objection was
sustained, but John ]. Sullivan, the
stenographer, was permitted to refer
to the statement from time to time to
refresh his memory.
Sullivan testified Whitmore said he
got home about O'clock or 7.3O on the
morning of Dec. 26, and asked friend
in the house if Mrs Whitmore was at
home. He remained in the house until
about 4 o'clock that afternoon. Whit
more said that the last time he saw
his wife was Christmas afternoon. At
ter she had disappeared, he said, he
received a letter signed "your loving
wife no more" in which he was told
that it would be useless for him to
search for his wife He said that this
letter. although apparently from Mrs.
Whtmore, was in a mans handWrit-
irg. He had seen the same writing be-
fore, he told Justice Branigan.
Continuing his testimony, Sullivan
said Whitmore told Justice Branigan
that in the past he had overlooked his
wife's conduct on account of her IA
Their and mother. but said he would
stand it no longer.

TAFT PLEAsEs BRYAN.

Washington, May 26.-When Sec.
Taft reached his Office today he
found a number of newspaper men
charged with inquiry assto what an
swer he intended to return to the in
vitation from VIM. j. Bryan to join
him in an effort to secure the enact
ment Of a bill requiring publication
of campaign contributions. The secre-
tary replied that he had not seen any
communication from Mr.. Bryan on
this subject and in fact it was several
hours later before the telegram
reached him as follows:
81 beg to suggest that as leading
candidates in our respective parties
we join in asking Congress to pass a
bill requiring publication of cam
paign contributions prior to election
II you think best we can ask other
candidates to unite with us in the re-
quest.
(signed) "WM. J. BRYAN"
Sec Taft had meanwhile had talk
with the President at the White House
and was prepared Immediately upon
his return to the war department to
give out for publication his answer as
follows:
"Hon. William J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb.
"Your telegram received. On April
20 last I sent the following letter to
Senator Burrows, the chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections
of the Senate:
"'My Dear Mr.. Burrows:
"I sincerely believe that it would
greatly tend to the absence of corrup-
ton in politics if the expenditures for
nomination and election of all candi-
dates and all contributions received
and expenditures made by political
committees could be made public, both
in respect to State and national poll
tics. For that reason I am strongly in
favor of the passage of the bill which
is now pending in the Senate and
House, bringing about this result so
far as national politics are concerned.
I mark this letter personal because !
am anxious to avoid assuming an at
titude in the campaign which it is
quite possible 1 shall never have the
right to assume, but so far as my
personal influence is concerned, I am
anxious to give it for the passage of
the bill.
every sincerely yours,
WILLIAM H. TAFT
"Since writing the above, in answer
to inquiry, I have said publicly thai
hoped such bill would pass.

South Coventry, Conn, May %
Two women dressed in black have
been canvassing this section Of late.
one claimed to be taking subscriptions
to help a negro parish in Tennessee
and the other had a petition to Con-
gress relating to some changes in the
pension laws to which she urged sigma
lures of those who had male relatives
in the Civil War. Nothing more than
casual interest was taken in either wo-
man.
The woman in black who had a PEN
sion petition called at the home of
Charles kolb, on the Willmantic road
on May and told a rambling story
about her husband being Grand
Army man. The woman talked a good
deal but not coherently, and finally
Mr.. Eolb gave her 81 and she went
away. Mrs. Emma c.. Kolb, his wife.
thought the woman had a likeness to
the newspaper likeness of Mrs. Gun
ness and wrote to the sheriff at La
Porte, Ind, about the woman.
The woman gave the name OF Mrs.
Howe and she said she had come from
California, where her husband had
been a miner. Her husband had died.
she said leaving her an income of only
$40 a month and she wanted assistance
in getting a pension. Her story it ap-
peared afterward, differed at different
places. Mrs. Kolb said the woman had
gold front teeth and that fact COM
bined with her facial appearance con-
WINGED her that the woman was the
missing Mrs. Guinness.
The authorities here and in Wilt
mantle take no stock whatever in the
theory that the woman is Mrs. Gun

HORSE HAS FUN WITH
HARTMAN LINE

A horse had some fun with the
Hartman system yesterday on the
way from Walla Walla to Spokane
He appeared on the o. r. & n.
track just ahead of the train that
gets here at IL p. IN. and stayed
there for about nine miles. When
the engine got within reach 1t was
slowed down and the crew tried to
chase the horse off the rails. He
would then gain on his pursuers,
who would go back to the train and
pull ahead again until the engine
pilot began to nose his hind hoofs.
Then the moral suasion process
would bbe gone over again with the
same results.
Finally when mortal patience and
the horse himself was exhausted
the beast ambled off the track and
gave the train sickly horse laugh
as 1t went by. He was long ways
from home. but he'd had his fun.

tiled NElGHBORHOOD

One of the largest robberies, in
point of bulk, for many months oc-
Cured sometime last night when a
wagonload of goods was stolen
from o. B. Nelson's store, corner
of Division and Indiana.
Early this morning newsboys
saw the rear door of the store torn
off its hinges and broken paste
board boxes, a shirt or two and
other articles scattered about.
They informed Patrolman Dial
This morning the job was investi-
gated by Detective Alec Macdonald

was decided that the robbers must
have used wagon to haul the
goods away. The largest and
bulkiest item in the list prepared
for the police to send out to sec
ondhand men and pawnbrokers is
400 pairs of pants" Other items
are dozens of various makes of
shirts, boxes of shoes, ats, socks,
union suits, coats and overcoats. A
lot of jewelry was also stolen, as
well as about $40 out of the cash
register,
The thieves used an iron rod to
break down the door. The neigh

far as was learned, no one heard

PAY TRIBUTE TO
NAVY'S DEAD

Thousands Of beautiful flowers to-
day deck the waters of the Spo-
kane river and are floating away
down stream in honor and COM
memoration of the nations naval
heroes.
At 1890 today 40 little children,
dressed in pretty white suits, laden
down with flowers of many varie-
ties, and following an address by
Del Cary Smith, threw the flowers
off the Main av walk on the bank
of the river, to the cheers of
thousands OF people, old and young,
who were gathered to witness the
beautiful ceremony.
The Veterans union was in
charge. Del Cary Smith the son
OF a veteran, delivered an grafton,
which was the best effort of his
career, his hearers declare.
Theh line of march preceding the
ceremony started from the Victor
la hotel. A company Of the nation
al guard was in the lead. Then fol-
lowed the little flow girls. Behind
them, with slower tread, came the
old veterans of the blue and the
gray. There were only about 40
in all. All wore flowers in their
buttonhcles, and some carried large
baskets of them. AS the parade
passed along the streets, thousands
of people who lined the sidewalks
cheered, and the gallant old veter
ans lifted their hats in appreciation
and recognition.

who is on trial here for manslaugh-
ter because she failed to call ply
stefan to attend her 3-year-oli son,
who died of pneumonia, bewailed
her fate to the United Press be-
cause she is not on the Pacific
coast, where she says people are
open minded. She is a Christian
Scientist. The case is attracting
attention throughout the country.
Counsel for the defendant moved
that the charge be dismissed for lack
OF evidence. The court overruled
the motion and adjourned till Mon
day.
