DELAY IN THE SENATE
Many Members Object to Way Leather
Schedule Was Made Up.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Beginning its
consideration of the conference report
on the tariff bill by a tedious reading
of that document, which was insisted
upon by senators who proposed to see
that undue haste is not exercised in
the final passage of the measure, the
senate dragged along during nearly
seven hours without accomplishing
any important result.
Numerous conferences were held
among senators on both sides of the
chamber for the purpose of advancing
or hindering the final passage of the
bill. The developments which have
occurred in respect to the framing of
the leather schedule in conference
called forth much interest. Senators
spent much time in discussing the Ian
guage and effect Of that schedule.

DR.. COOK
Story That Explorer Did
Not Reach Top of Mt.

pudiated BY

{By United Press Leased Wire.)

{By United Press Leased Wire.)
HAMILTON, Mont, Sept. o.
DIR. Cook is vindicated by Ed
Burrill. who has Just returned
here from the Bitter Root noun
tains. Burrill has been quoted
in numerous publications recently
concerning the trip of DR.. Cook up
Mt. Mckinley, reflecting on Cook.
He repudiates all these alleged
interviews as utterly spurious.
He also repudiates as untrue a
story purporting to come from
Printz, who was on the Cook par
ty at Mt. Mckinley.
He declares that DR.. Cook and
himself were the only ones of
the party that climbed to the
top of Mt. Mckinley in 1906.
Printz was along part of the
way, but he did not go to the top.
He and DR.. Cook made the ascent
alone to the crest of the noun
tain. Burrill says that as soon
as DR.. Cook reaches this country
he (BurrilD will go before no.

truth of the situation, completely
confirming the story of DR.. Cooks
ascent of Mt. Mckinley, and stop

are trying to discredit the great
explorer who has now achieved

the North pole.

WELL KNOWN DETROIT MAN
ARRESTED IN CONNECTION
WITH MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF MABEL MILIINIAN.
(By United Press Leased wire.)

(By united Press Leased W1re.)
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. g.
Following the discovery of new
clews yesterday, DIR. George A.
Fritch, a practitioner, who is well
known in this city, was arrested
last night in connection with the
mysterious murder of Miss Mabel
Millman of Ann Arbor, the dis
membered parts of whose body
were recently found in two sacks
in Ecorse creek.
Sheriff CASTOR ordered the ar
rest after his return from Ann
Arbor, where he had been looking
up clews.
The sheriff says he is con-
vinced that the young woman
was sent money by some man in
order that she might have a sur
gical operation performed. DIR.
Fitch is suspected of having per-
formed this operation. 1t is the
theory of the officers that the op-
Grafton was unsuccessful. and
that the body was cut up and
placed in the creek in an effort
to hide the crime.
Police are now working hard
to run down the man primarily
responsible for the young wom-
ans death.

ing the power of Wall st. to build
up and combine and connect rail-
roads. He saw himself bringing
the power of Wall st. to the rail-
roads, and using the street to
build up, to combine, to connect,
to wrest vast profits from the
carrying trade of the nation--of
the commerce of Unit
ed States to pour out tribute to
him.
Already he was looking for
ward, his eyes on the intrenched
wealth as yet undeveloped.
He became friendly-but not
friend--with Stuyvesant Fish,
who had admired his ability, and
had him made a director of the
Illinois Central, then struggling
road of 1000 miles. Till 1887,
when Fish became president and
Hartman vice president, the bro-
ker was completing his "educa-
tion." He worked with Fish in
building the l. @. to powerful
corporation operating nearly 5000
miles of trackage.
The Alton, though in bad con-
dition physically, was great

Chicago was president, and held
a majority of stock. The Goulds,
STANDARD Oil and other big inter-
ests wanted it. 1t remained for
the yet unknown Hartman to
snatch 1t from the paws of the
big fellows.
For Blackstone demanded
staggering price for his road. He
wanted not only the market price
for his holdings, but exacted that
all the stockholders should be
bought out at the same price. and
that the transaction should be
cash. This meant deal OF $45.-
900 in cash--a thing unthink-
liable.
But Hartman, "the great bor-
Irower." went down into Wall st.,
got the money and bought the Al
ton. paying $42.000.000 in cold
cash for it. 1t was a staggering

Hints have came to him that the
man he made commissioner of

eyes on the chair that is now rest
