Police board tonight will begin the
hearing in the case of Thomas H.
Broadhead, suspended captain. The
charges against him are incompetency
and neglect of duty, and public inter-
est in the disposition of his case is
very keen. Doubtless Broadhead will
have fair play, and the public expects
square deal. Public opinion already
has made demands for his removal, but
no member of the public desires pre-
cipitate action, although 1T is well
known a large mass of damning evil
dence has been accumulated against
the former captain.

Some papers are making a great
hullabaloo because a man is supposed
or alleged to have eloped with his
own wife. The happy pair had been
separated for some time by misun-
derstanding. They met one day on
the street. The misunderstanding
vanished, and so did they. Friends
hunted them high and low, and then
told the newspapers to announce the
and wife. But, mercy on US, if a man
wouldn't or shouldn't elope with his
own wife, then with whose, pray tell,
would it be better form for him to
elope?

SHORTAGE IN LEWISTON BANK
Discovered by Bank Examner-Stock-
holders Make Good.

Lewiston, Idaho, June 2.-Defalca-
tions amounting to $137, 900 have been
found on the books of the Lewiston
National Bank by National Bank Ex-
aminer Claude Catch.
Clarence Robnett, former teller, and
J. E. Chapman, former bookkeeper,
are accused of responsibility for the
alleged shortage. Robnett was con-
victed of Idaho land frauds three years
ago and is said now to be in St. Paul.
Chapman is thought to be in Tacoma.
Pittsburg dispatches about ten days
ago accused Robnett of passing worth
less checks to cover land deals near
Spokane. 1t is alleged that his short
age in the bank is due to speculations
in irrigated lands.
Beyond the statement that the stock
holders of the bank have made good
the alleged shortage, Bank Examiner
Catch refused tonight to discuss the
situation
Examination of the books show the
alleged embezzlement has been carried
on for the past five years and has been
made possible without detection only
through the conspiracy of the teller
and bookkeeper, and the manipulation
of the adding machine used in comput-
ing the daily balances.

STRIKERS GAIN GROUND.
Capture Light Plant and Place City
in Darkness.

Sisson, CAL, June 3.-While state
troops are on the way to McCloud to
suppress lawlessness, the power house
and lighting plant at that place were
captured by the striking shingle mill
hands today, and the town is in dark
ness tonight. Between three and four
hundred armed strikers marched on the
plant in body late tonight, drove off
the 25 armed deputy sh'erffs on guard,
and took possession, compelling the
men at work to quit. The deputies re-
ceived warning of the intention of the
strikers to capture the plant, but they
deemed it useless to attempt resistance
and left when ordered to do so. Not a
shot was fired and no one was hurt.
Six hundred strikers formed in line
and paraded the streets this afternoon.
There was no disorder, but, with ban
ners flying, the men tremped by the
company's store and offices as though
on review.
Sheriff Howard admitted this after
noon that he needed help to handle the
situation. In reply to the sharp criti-
cism of Governor Gillett, who declared
that the peace officer should have ar
rested the ringleader, he said that to
have done so would have precipitated
riot he could not hope to quell and
which must have resulted in the loss of
human life.

Wednesday, June 2.

Washington, June with the
adoption of resolution providing for
day and night sessions beginning to-
morrow, the senate heard today sug-
gestion of a policy for limiting dila-
tory motions which caused an earnest
protest from Bacon and others. The
vice-president, basing his action upon
precedent made in the last congress,
when the Aldrich- -Vreeland fair cur
rency bill was under discussion, held
that attention could not be called to
the absence of quorum if the senator
occupying the floor declined to yield
for that purpose. Bacon declared this
was one of the revolutionary rulings
when the currency bill was under con-
sideration and that under it there would
be serious abuse of rules.
A long speech dealing with the
pledge of party leaders was begun by
LaFollette and will be continued to-
morrow. By numerous quotations he
maintained that no question could be
raised as to the pledge of the party for
a revision downward and declared that
before he should conclude his speech,
he would demonstrate that on the
whole, the pending bill placed the GUS
toms duties above the Dingley rates.
Since the enactment of the Dingley
law and until 1904, he said, the control
of trusts had been extended to 1864

Friday, June q.

Washington, June 4.-Although AL
drich has indicated the tactics he in
tends to pursue to kill the income tax
amendments to the tariff bill in the
senate, and although he has demon
strated his ability to get votes enough
to accomplish his purpose, those sena-
tors who sincerely believe in income
tax legislation and who have had the
courage to stand by their convictions
still hope against hope that at the crit
ical time they will muster enough
strength to secure the adoption of their
pet measure. This is optimism in the
extreme degree.
Through forenoon, afternoon and
evening sessions the senate today
Iabored on the cotton schedule. La
Toilette completed his long speech, at
tacking changes in the Dingley rates
recommended by the senate finance
committee.
The senate adopted LaFollette's
resolution calling on the president to
send to the senate correspondence be-
tween the state department and the
German government or its represen-
tatives, relating to the German report
on wages.

Keen Ice in Public ountain.

Grants Pass, Or, June 3.-The pub
lie fountain erected on the depot park
grounds a year ago by the women of
the city, is now undergoing change,
which will make it one of the best
equipped public fountains in Southern
Oregon. Instead of giving forth tepid
water, the clear, cool liquid will issue
through an immense ice tank under the
fountain and below the cement floor.
This tank will be filled daily. This
feature of furnishing ice water to the
public has become municipal neces-
sity through the summer months.

Rock, who is charged with deserting
his wife and their two children.

FEVER SHIP ENDS VOYAGE.
Three Die En- Route and Captain
Buries All. Including Wife.

Victoria, B. C.-Completing voy-
age of 4S days from Santa Rosalia des-
tined to be memorable on account of a
desperate fight with fever, waged al
most from port to port the ship
Springbank reached Royal Roads today,
reporting three deaths en- voyage
those of Mrs. Royal, the captain s
wife; Stewart Lund, and Able Seaman
j hnson-all of whom were buried at
sea, the grief-stricken captain reading
the burial service for each.
The voyage up was made very diff
cult, as two-thirds of the crew of 2S
men were at ne time incapacitated by
fever, while the others were too weak
to perform their duties, save with
difficulty. Two are still fever-stricken.
The Springbank arrived off the straits
two weeks ago, and has ever since been
endeavoring to work her way in.

Thursday, June 8.

Washington, June 3.-LaFollette
was the center around which storm
ragged in the senate today and tonight.
In the afternoon he resumed his speech
in opposition to the cotton schedule,
but was forced by exhaustion to sus-
pend. When he resumed he made a
violent attack on the "autocracy of
the senate" aiming his attack directly
at Aldrich.
An amendment by Aldrich placing a
duty of 35 per cent ad valorem on tam
pico when mixed with other vegetable
substances was adopted. The para
graph on furs was changed SO as to
levy a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem
on dog, goat or sheepskins which have
been sewed together, instead of 35 per
cent duty, as reported by the finance
committee.
Aldrich offered substitute for the
paragraph placing duty of 60 per
cent ad valorem on jewelry, by which
specific rates were placed on long list
of articles of jewelry. Aldrich said
the new paragraph would prevent un-
er-valuation and would increase the
revenue. 1t was agreed to.
The most important amendment
adopted was a reduction of the duty on
common gloves for women and children
from $l.75 to $1.25 per dozen. The
rest of the glove schedule, which was
a restoration of the Dingley rates in
Dlace of the house rates. which were
considerably higher, was agreed to.
The amendment was offered by AL
drich.
Quilts were made dutiable at 35 per
cent ad valorem and so per cent duty
was placed on combs of horn or metal,
on which the house rate was 40 per
cent. The committee amendments to
the paragraphs on works of art were
agreed to.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS
Saturday, June s.

Washington, June 5.-After devot-
ing the larger portion of the day to lis
tening to discussion Of the cotton
cloth schedule, the senate entered upon
a period of voting late in the afternoon
and rapidly disposed of the entire sub
ject of changing from ad valorem to
specific duties for the purpose of pre-
venting under-valuation. On all votes
taken the finance committee was sus-
tanned by majority of from 10 to II.
Three votes were necessary to accom-
plish the result and others would have
been necessary but for Bacon, who see-
ing the futility of opposing the COM
mittee, suggested the grouping of the
votes after the first two ballots had
been taken. This was unanimously
agreed to, with the result that so much
was accomplished that night session
was not held.

ZeppeIin Airship Wrecked,

Goeppingen, June 2.-After cover
ing distance of about $50 miles in 81
hours, Count Zeppelin's airship, on its
return trip from Bitterfeld to Fried.
richshafen, came to grief in an open
field near here today. In maneuvering
for LANDING the airship came into
contact with tree.
The damage to the airship is much
more serious than was at first believed.
A cursory examination directly after
the accident showed that the envelope
had been torn and it was thought that
the injury could be repaired and that
the vessel would proceed tonight. A
more careful examination, however,
disclosed that the prov was broken
and that considerable time must elapse
before the journey can be resumed.

request of Senator Jones, the Indian
office is making arrangements to pay
pro rata to the ColvilIe Indians fund
of $40, 200 now to their credit in the
treasury due them from land of the
south half of their reservation, which
they relinquished. These Indians are
reported to be in dire need of financial
assistance. The money will be trans
ferred to the government repositories
in Washington and distributed later to
individual Indians entitled to compen
sation.

FAIR is OPENED.
First Days Attendance at A.-Y.-P
Exposition 89,286.

Seattle, June 2.-Seattle came into
her own yesterday, and in spite Of the
threatening skies opened the exhibition
that has been the dream of her exis-
tence for the past two years. Aside
from this, Seattle demonstrated to the
world that she had become a full
fledged city, capable of caring for ex-
position crowds as well as any Of the
more Eastern cities that have wrestled
with the problem. In fact Seattle
surprised herself, as we'll as her thou
sands of visitors today, and acquitted
herself well in everything.
The gates at the fair grounds opened
at 8 o'clock in. the morning and there
was crowd on hand to rush them in,
though there was nothing on the days
program until 10 o'clock. But the
crowd didn't care; it surged through
the gates at a rate that promised well
for the attendance figures, and it kept
surging in just that way for the rest
of the day.
At 10 o'clock the military and naval
pageant commenced, soldiers and sail
ors of the Union as we'll as the Wash
ington guardsmen acting as escorts to
the exposition officers and visiting
japanese officers in parade about the
grounds. The parade pleased all, and
passed the reviewing stand in the best
of order.
The first days attendance at the ex-
position, according to figures given
out by the management tonight, was
1926. The greater part of this was
in the daytime, more than 5000 per-
sons passing through the turnstiles be-
tween the opening hour and o'clock
tonight. The night attendance was
cut down by severe rainstorm.

yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Henry Heis-
ler, of this city, is seriously injured
and is not expected to live, while her
hubsand is also in a critical condition.
Mrs. Heisler was attempting to drive
the machine and in rounding a curve
threw on all the power instead of shut
ting it off as intended: In her fright
she turned the steering wheel in the
wrong direction.

Sailors Escape by Force.

San Francisco, June -Four sailors
of the British ship Mussel Crag. ly-
ing in the bay, made their escape from
that vessel early today by binding and
gagging the watchman and rowing to
shore in small boat. One of the men
has been denied admission to this
country, because he is sufferer from
trachoma, contagious disease of the
eyes, and Captain Fraser is liable to a
heavy fine for allowing him to land.
The boat was found upside down and
there is possibility that the men met
with an accident after leaving the ship.

PUT LINCOLN ABOVE ALL.
Hoingsworth Protests Against Honor
Paid Jeff Davis.

Washington, June Memorial Day
was generally observed here yester-
day. All the government departments
and practically all the business houses
were closed in order that tribute might
be paid the nations dead. The prin-
cipal exercises were at Arlington, un-
der the auspices of the G. A. K. Every
grave was marked with an American
flag, while flowers were strewn every
where. Appropriate exercises also
were conducted at the Soldiers Home
National cemetery and other burial
places in the city.
At the Soldiers Home Represent
ative Hollingsworth, of Ohio, was one
of the speakers. He referred to the
recent discussion in the house when he
protested against placing the head of
Jefferson Davis on the silver service of
the battleship Mississippi, declaring
that sit would be dark day indeed
for the republic when the name of
Abraham Lincoln ceases to be revered
above all other figures of the civil war
period, or when it shall be replaced by
that of Jefferson Davis in the hearts
and affections of the American people.
The thought of it is as shocking as the
first thrill of horror that followed the
firing on Sumpter.

Monday, May 81.

Washington, May 31.-Agreements
were reached in the senate today upon
many sections of the tariff bill, so that
as the hours for adjournment ap-
preached, the paragraphs relating to
agriculture were nearly all disposed of.
More than two hours were consumed
by debate on the proposition to in
crease the duty on lemons from cent
pound, as provided by the Dingley
law, to ~ cents pound, and after
earnest opposition by Root, the in
crease recommended by the committee
was Sustained 43 to %.
Among other duties affected was that
on dried peas, which was reduced from
80 to 25 cents per bushel. The duties
on chicory root, chocolate and cocoa
were reduced, as was that on salt, from
IL to 10 cents per 100 pounds in bags
and from 10 to s cents in bulk.
Stout, ale, beer and porter were
given an increase of duty from 40 to
as cents when in bottles, etc., and from
20 to 25 cents per gallon when in bulk.
Senators were very sour looking as
they entered the senate chamber be-
cause of their having to meet on le-
gal holiday that most of them had
usually devoted to exercises in COM
memoration of the day.
The roll call being demanded only 43
senators, not more than quorum,
answered to their names.

Tarrytown, N. Y, June 2.-Action
of the Tarrytown tax assessors in add
ing an item of $3.50, 900 to the assess
ment of John D. Rockefeller, did not
perturb him in the least. This was
grievance day for the taxpayers here,
but Mr.. Rockefeller not only failed to
register protest, but through repre-
sentative, announced he was well sat
isfed with the valuation of $545, S9S
on his country place. The new stone
mansion just completed is assessed at
$250,000.
