Pittsburg, Jan. l3.-Binding, gagging
and assaultng Solomon Loughner, aged
so, and his two sisters, both OF whom
are between 20 and so years old, six
masked robbers last night ransacked
the house and secured $500 in cash,
ate their supper. and then disappeared.
The Loughners live on an isolated farm
midway between Jeanette and Harrison
City.
The aged people are In serious con-
dition today, from their i'll treatment
and shock. They were seated at the
table eating supper. when the men
suddenly broke into the house. Owing
to their advanced age. the Lougners
were powerless to protect themselves
They screamed and were given hard
blows in the face, bound and gagged.
The victims refused to divulge the
hiding place of their money, and tha
robbers instituted a search. Unsuccess-
full in finding the money, they drew
their revolvers and pointed the weap-
ons at Lougner and his sisters. threat
ening death. One highwaynan said:
"I'll tell You, let's burn the house and
cremate them"
Loughner then led the men to a
small safe, and opened it. After taking
the contents, $1,000, the robbers dis
appeared.

MAY VETO CIVIL BILL.

President Will Not Accept Restric.
ton Of Civil Service.
Washington, Jan. 13.--There Is .
lively rumor current at the capitol to
the effect that the president has said
that he would veto the sundry civil
service appropriation bill Of the pres
ent session, should it -enact the Sc
cret service provision of the bill Of q
year ago.
That provision applied only to the
bill Of that year and if congress is to
continue the secret service policy of
that bill in operation it must re-enact
the provision every year.
1t is already known that it will be
put into the sundry civil bill of this
year by Representative Tawney's COM
mittee on appropriations, hence the in
terest in the rumor that the president
may veto the bill.
Such veto, however, would not be
important, for the bill could be taken
up at the special session called for tar
if revision and put through both
houses in a single day. This would,
Of course, be in ample time, as the
money set apart by the bill will not
be available until the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1.
"This would be good session for
the president to talk about vetoing
bills" said one of the house leaders.
1t was emphatically denied at the
White house that the president con-
templates a veto of the sundry civil
bill,

There is a remarkable lack Of ex-

frantic old men and children, scenes
such as usually accompany such ca
tastrophes. The inhabitants of the lit

and which saw fifty funerals in less

hunter carrying gun was passing the
opening, some distance away. when the
explosion came, and piece of flying
timber hurled from the mouth of the
mine, killed him.

CURT MESSAGE RESPONSIBLE
Presidents Polite Intimation That His
Action Pertaining to Absorption Of
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company
Was Not Business of Senate Brings
Forth Resolution.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Bacon
today introduced in the senate a reso-
luton declaring that ANY and every
public document, paper or record, or
copy thereof, on the files of any de-
partment of the government relating
to any subject whatever over which
congress has any grant or power, jur-
isdiction or control under the consti-
tuition, and any information relative
thereto within the possession of Off
GERS of the department, is subject to
call or inspection Of the senate for its
use in the exercise of it's constitutional
powers and jurisdiction"
Bacon said it was of special i'm
portance because of the recent mes
sage of the president in which he
stated that he had directed the attor-
ney general not to give information
as to what he had done in bringing
suit against the United States Steel
corporation for its absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company.

Democrats 20 Flush Effort to Have
Adiai stsvsnson Declared Governor
{, .-lnausuration Fixed for Next Mon
day - fractional Strife Not Entirely
) oblitsrated.

Springfield, Ill, Jan. 13.-The dead
lock in the Illinois legislature over
the canvass Of ts,e vote for state Off
GERS, which has tied up activities In
Springfield since last Thursday, was
broken today when the senators
closed the corridor Of the state house
and took their places in the hall of
the house OF representatives to witness
the canvaasing OF the returns. In ac-
cordance with the published returns
the candidates were declared as the
state officers.
Following the announcement of the
canvass Of the returns declaring Gov
ernor Deneen and other state officers
elected, Representative Browne, the
democratic leader, was given recogni-
tion by the speaker for the purpose
of serving notice of contest of the Of
fee OF governor against Deneen in ia
yor Of Adloi Stevenson.
Plans to hold the inauguration next
Monday were then taken UP and ar
rangeneAts looking to that end We're
begun. With the inaugural ceremonies
pver further proceedings in regard to
the recount of the votes cast for the
governor and his democratic opponent
can take an orderly course.
The breaking Of the deadlock on the
canvass Of the vote does not entirely
clear the situation, as there remains
many points of difference between the
rontending forces. The lines of cleav-
age between the shurtleff republicans
and the administration republicans
who attended the republican caucus
are as sharply drawn as ever. Getting
together on the canvass. however,
win permit the completion of the or
ganization Of the house and the com
mencement of the actual work of the
legislature. which, until the canvass
OF the votes for state officers was an
nounced, could not proceed in Its US
ual business.
After the senators had left the house
the senate joint resolution providing
for the Inauguration of the officers-
elect on next Monday was adopted.

declared that much of the testimony
of Mrs. Annis was false evidence. He
said it showed she was not on the float
during the shooting and not one

unony that she was there.
That Thornton Hains is verging
upon nervous breakdown as his trial
rears it's end is apparent to counsel and
spectators. His lawyers say he passed
a.sleepless night in his cell. Hams to-
day sat curled up in his chair, his
face tense and haggard, and listened

Cities Severely shaken-No Loss of
Life Results But People Are Thrown

Rome, Jan. 13.-Several earth shocks
were experienced at Florence, Venice
and Milan this morning, causing con-

houses in trepidation, but as there was
no repetition Of the quake, calm was
soon restored. No damage was done.
According to the records of the OBJ
servatories, the center of today's dis
turbance was near Leimbach, Saxony.
The quake was strongest in Italy at
Revise, six miles north of Venice.
Rissi, the birthplace of the present
pope, is located in this territory. The
first reports that came into Rome We're

brought out the fact that the shocks
had not been severe and that no dam
