the accompanying documents had been read.
 He read a letter from Boyd conyers, a discharged soldier. who is alleged to have made a confession to negro de- tective named Lawson. whose report accompanies others contained in the document made up by the War Depart ment and read today. In his letter to Senator Foraker, conyers speaks of the visit of Lawson to Monroe, Ga, where Conyers has been living. Conyers says he learned that Lawson was there to pick" him and that he had the high sherifff arrest Lawson. AS Lawson had not had an opportunity to have a private talk with Conyers, according to the Iatter's letter 1t made him angry and conyers says Lawson told Hes to the sheriff about him. tx
 At this point Mir, Foraker referred caustically to this negro detective, call ing attention to the fact that his high sounding, smooth, logical report is signed with his mark" and, pausing to look around the Senate. the Senator added. when this thing is gone to the bottom of. all honest men will be ashamed of it."
 Mir Foraker said the statement ot the President concerning this investf- gation by detectives showed the propriety of adopting such provision as that embodied in his amendment.
 Tt seems to me" he said, that one of the worst features of this whole unfortunate business Is that this man should now be pursued in this way by secret detectives in the manner I have described"
 Senator Foraker read letter he had written to Conyers. in which he said he (the Senator) would look after the detectives who were visiting him "at the>proper time."
 That promise will be made good" declared Mir. Foraler. Enough has been shown he asserted, ''to make it the imperative duty of the Senate to create 8 tribunal before which these men can go and receive a hearing. Is there anything more atrocious than this proceeding against these men. This Is the sixth time they have been put on trial and five times they have been acquitted. in my opinion"

Have Postponed Their Exposition to
1917.
The governments financial policy,
decided upon by the cabinet, involves
the curtailment Of expenditures by
800, 900 900, of which 80 per cent will
be taken from the army budget and
10 per cent from that of the navy.
The postpOnement of the exposition,
Premier Kaysura says. is not purely
due to financial reasons, but is owing
to the fact that the work of prepare
ton has been insufficient and it will
be quite impossible to make a credit
able exposition within three years on
an appropriation of five millions.
Therefore, as the necessary appro-
priation would be inconsistent with
the economical plans of the cabinet for
the next five years, it is wiser for the
government to admit that fact than to
fail in making a complete success OF
the exposition which it has been de.
cided will be held in 1917, the ami
versary Of the accession Of the EN-.
peror.
In this name Japan admits her
financial stringency, but insists on the
utmost economy and depends on for
eign countries accepting the situation
as an act Of wise economy on the part
of the nation.

East Las Vegas, n. NJ, Aug. 81
As darkness fell on Folsom, n. NJ, to
night it marked the end Of a day oil
intense suffering due to the terrific
hailstorm that has ragged with deadly
effect for II hours and the beginning
of a night of terror ~unequaled in the
history of this part of the country.
Huddled together on the hillsldes'
without food or shelter, and many OF
them with scant clothing, the hundreds
of residents of Folsom who were
driven from their homes by the recent
~cloudburst spent the sleepless night IN
anguish. Many of them having lost
their homes and personal belongings
in the flood, separated from their
friends aud relatives. and then at
tackled later by hailstones as large as
mothballs, the refugees are in a frame
of mind bordering on insanity. Some
of the refugees have been without
food for As hours and there is no tell
ing how much longer they must go
hungry.
The ha~ilstones have done great dam
age in the farming sections. 1t is even
reported that some of them killed
sheep. Following the clOudburst so
closely, the storm completed the work
of destruction, and tonight hundreds
of acres of farm lands are inundated
creeks are overlooking and thousands
of head of cattle have already been
drowned.
Food and clothing are ready to be
rushed to the suffering people on the
hillsides as soon as there is Ii pos
sible chance of rescuers% reaching them
without losing their lives in the rush
ing waters.
The horror of the Folsom flood
grows with each telegram from the
south. The stories Of the survivors
are beginning to drift in. The magni-
tude of the disaster is just beginning
to make itself known.
The work of recovering the bodies
goes forward under the greatest diff
culties. There were many strangers in
the town on the night of the disaster
