rier pack. Harriers are followed on
foot and are hunted on the Craens
estate because it is not adapted for
horses. The barrier is a smaller and
slower hound than the fox hound. and
is used chiefly for hunting the hare.
Women follow barriers in England
with even more zest than they follow
the fox hounds and the sport is more
interesting for the reason it usually
is possible to keep the pack in sight
The fox when hunted always goes
straight across the country, while the
hare always runs in a great circle,
and barring "a kill, always returns to
the starting point. The instructive
trait that gives women the chance to
follow the barriers and explains why

FORMER UNITED STATES SEN
ATOR GOES TO WASHINGTON
TO ARGUE CASE.
Will Have Conference With BaIlinger

Will Fight Service.

SPOKANE, June 4.-(SpeciaD-Fo
mer Uniter States Senator George
Turner of Spokane, has gone to WASH
ingten, D. c., to appear before the
United States supreme court in the
noted litigation of the Irrigation Land
and Improvement company of Arizona
against the government. He will first
have a conference with Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary of the interior,
with a view to bringing about a COM
promise, in which event the suit will
be dismissed. Otherwise, it is expect
ed to attack the constitutionality of
the entire reclamation service as or
ganized by the government.

MEASURE IN THE END
Importance of the Committee Having
This in Charge Is Being More
and More Evidenced.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June AIS
the time for the tariff bill to go to
conference committee approaches there
is an increasing appreciation of the
Importance of that stage in the career
of the measure. A conference COM
mittee represents both branches of
congress and is appointed when they
fail to agree upon some matter of leg
islation.
In this case, for instance the house
sent a tariff bill to the senate. The
latter is making some hundreds of
amendments to the bill and when the
work is finished the BILL as amended,
VII be returned to the house for ap-
prevail The house will refuse to ac-
cept the amendments, the senate will
insist upon them, and the result will
be a deadlock.
When such situation arises, as ii
does in most big bills, the rules call
Tor the appointment of a committee by
each branch of congress to meet and
try to reach an agreement. The agree
ment is usually a compromise, each side
max ng concessions.
Thsre is no fixed rule as to the size
of a conference committee but it gen
orally consists OF three representatives
and three senators. The conference
committee on the Dingley bill COM
prised 16 members, eight from each
branch of congress. That precedent is
likely to be followed this year but the
question has not yet been decided. If
it IS followed each half of the commit

three democrats.

DISMAL JENNY HAS
MISSED HIS FIRE
Predictions of Dire CaIamities in the
Wc.stern and Middle West Have
Not As Yet Come Near
FuIfilIment.

CHICAGO, June 4-Pre dictiOnS OF
earthquakes for the middle west per-
iodically made, some with embell sh-
ments of dire disaster that forget tC
turn up, gained some standing in con-
sequence of the tremors which ratified
Chicago's dishes and now some of the
DrognOsticators point with pride" tC
their guesses. Some brand new pre-
dictions also have been inspired S
c. Braganza de La Coralla writing
from Port Byron, Illinois, said of the
earthquake:
Il had predicted it's occurrence for
tomorrow, but it anticipated it's date
by one day. / have predicted another
earthquake of more intense force for
June next
But the seismic medal was won by
one A. T. KOOpman who predicted on
June 6, 1907, an earthquake would
visit Chicago Gin 1909" He may have
recovered from biliousness now but
his representations wore weeds and
it's gloom reminded one of the dirges
played on Memorial days But as
predicting remains an inexact science
one can listen with no alarm. He said:
Il will predict that from now till
1909 and 1919 we shall have almost a
continuous chain of earthquakes and
crop failures, which will devastate not
only a great part of this country but
of our globe. San Francisco ia the
time laid down by me will suffer again
Also one-half of Chicago, lying south
of Madison street, all of New York
city, all of Washington, D. c. The
Panama canal will be rendered useless
not by any actual quake, but by the
shifting of the earth's crust which
will not shake down buildings, but will
destroy the canal excavations. Crop
failures will be complete and we shall
have to depend on Canada for sus-
tenance. Some of the cities in the
United States that will be free from
any seismic disturbance are Boston
Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Seattle

HEARD SOMETHING OF
ALLEGED DEFALCATION.
Former Tellre of Lewiston Bank Knew
Something Wrong Two Months
Ago.

LEWISTON, Ida, June 81. E.
Chapman, former teller of the Lewis
from a visit to the coast. In a state
ment issued tonight, Chapman said
that the first intimation he heard of
there being an alleged defalcation was
about two months ago when general
checking up was made of he books of
the bank by Cashier Smith and Mr..
Hyke Chapman says at that time
there appeared to be a shortage of
something like 100000 but when the
attention of the bookkeeper, Clarence
Robnett was called to it, he explained
the matter showing that there was
nothing but discrepancy of about 5000
and later this amount was reduced to
about $40
Chapman declares that Robnett, as
individual deposit ledger Chapman
says there was no checking system in
vogue in the bank, wherever the book
keeper checked the teller checked and
the teller checked the bookkeeper, and
further than that he had no check
whatever on the bookk eeper's record.

CONFERENCE WILL
MAKE SCHEDULES

. struct its conferees to stand forever
| on any particular point and they are
| bound to obey If, however, the con-
ferees enter upon full and free con-
ference and report an agreement, that
report cannot be divided in either
branch but must be accepted or re-
! jected in bulk. The effect of this is
that the conference reports are always
adopted
The Importance of this rule may be
realized when it is considered that the
conferees led by Aldrich and Payne
will have jurisdiction over the hun
dreds of items in the bill which have
been amended and the decision they
reach will be the next tariff law-un-
less a brand new record is to be made
IN congress. 1t is the wide authority
given the conference committee and
the fact that it's report must be ap-
proved or disapproved as a whole that
forms the basis for the statement often
made that the real tariff lawW will be
written by the committee.
Men in charge of bills often place in
them provisions that they do not ex-
pect to remain there, but which will
be useful in forcing concessions from
the other side when the bills go into

the light of precedent, that Payne has

BERLIN, June 4.-One of the most
successful of all the American prima
donnas in Germany is Marguerite
Lemon, who is now at the Stadt thea
ter in Mayence and IS more of prima
donna than most German operate the
aters possess. She has proved such
a drawing card to the opera house that
she seems likely to remain there just
as long as she will. Neither Cologne
nor Frankfort nor any of the Rhine
cities within reach of Mayence has a
singer of such attractions to the pub
lie, and it is 10y no means uncommon
to have trains bring delegations from
