San Francisco. July flames Ed
Wafa cunningham, a laborer. has
confessed to the murder OF Miss Car
oline Brasche, cashier for GRAY
Brothers Construction company. who
| was shot and killed in the company's
! offices last Wednesday, Cunningham
surrendered himself because another
| man was under arrest charged with
| the crime.
Cunningham entered a newspaner
office last night and made his orig
lnal statement, which later was re-
peated to the police The detective
department was not noified until
early today when representatives Of
the paper delivered the man into cus-
tody, together with revolver, with
which the crime is said to have been
committed, and a wage check issued
by Gray Brothers, which Cunningham
declares to have been the basis Of a.
dispute that ended with the shooting
Of Miss Brasche.
The original theory as to the mo-
tive for the murder is borne out by
the confession of Cunningham but
the police, in the arrest of ]. Noyak.
another laborer who had been em-
ployed by Gray Brothers, We're en-
deavoring to fasten the crime on an
innocent man, who chanced to be the
victim of circumstances almost un-
paralleled
Cunningham, according to his
statement, entered the offices of the
Gray brothers just as Novak depart
ed. Novak had disputed with Miss
Brasch over triflng difference in
his pay check, and failing to get
satisfaction went away in anger.

Immediately afterwards Cunning CHAM
declares he renewed a wrangle of
several weeks standing over his
check and finally shot the girl

lice to believe that Cunningham

Convinced that in the person of
Cunningham they have the actual
slayer of the young woman, the po-
lice today released Joseph Novak. the
Austrian, whom a remarkable chain
OF circumstantial evidence led within
the shadow of the galloWs. So strong
ly did circumstances point to No
yak, an uneducated foreigner who
can speak but little English; the fact
that he was the last man known to
have been in the office, his dispute
with Miss Brasch, the pawning of his
clothes and his subsequent request at
an employment office to be sent far
from the city; that the police at first

hams confession that he committed
the crime.
Not until his every movement since
Wednesday noon, minutely related by
himself, was verified, did the police
release Novak The latter, glad to
have so strangely escaped standing
trial for murder but showing little
feeling in the matter, left for Reno
tonight
Cunningham probably will ba
charged With murder tomorrow.

DEF F|N|TE LOCATION
ANNOUNCED
TWELVE ACRES AT FOOT OF AR
THUR STREET FOR CAR
BARNS, SHOPS, ETC

Yesterday announcement of more
definite location for the car barns,
shops and other buildings of the Mis-
soula Street Railway company was
made by S. R. Inch, superintendent
of the Mssoula Light company and
an official of the railway company
According to Mr.. Inch, the buildings
VIII be erected on q tria .1llar piece
of ground on the south end of Ar
thur street, on the south of Daly's
addition. This tract contains about
II acres. The Bitter Root branch of
the Northern Pacific bounds it on the
east and will be Of considerable use
during the construction period which
will soon follow. 1t is said that a
spur will be constructed from the
Bitter Root branch directly to the
place where the buildings will be
erected. The deed for the tract will
be filed within a day or two. The
land was bought from the South Mis-
soula Land company and takes the
place of the land which was at first
considered for the purpose.
The street railway company at first
thought of using the property near
the sub-station of the electric light
company, situated at the north end
of the temporary bridge, but when
condemnation suits were started, the
appraisers fixed a consideration for
the property which was considered
too high, SO the first plans We're
abandoned, and yesterdays announce
ment disposes of the chance that the
car barns and shops will be located
in the center of the city,

ORVlLlE WRIGHT SAILS AROUND
FORT MYER DRILL GROUNDS
WITH EASE.
HIGH SPEED is ATTAINED
Machine EncircIes the Course Twelve
Times in Eleven Minutes and Fifty
Seconds-Goes Higher and More
Rapidly Than at Any Time Yet
Mishap TO Machine.

Washington, July 2.-After making
two successful flights late today the
Wright aeroplane met with a slight
mishap, which win delay further tests
until next week. The machine, with
Orville Wright at the helm, was on
it's way around the Fort Myer drill
grounds for the ninth time in it's sec
ond flight when suddenly the motor
stopped, go feet above the ground
The great birdlike machine came to
standstill then glided to the earth
without injury to it's occupant at ex-
actly the same place where the pro-
peller blade broke last September
which resulted in the fatal accident
at that time. In gliding today the
machine struck a tree and was
swerved around with such force that
the skids were broken and the right
wing badly ripped.
Despite the mishap the two flights
today We're the most successful that
Orville Wright has made at Fort
Myer since his return to complete the
government trials. On the first at
tempt he flew about the field 12 times
in II minutes and so seconds and on
the second trial he had gone around
eight and a half times when the
flight was terminated. During both
flights Mr.. Wright went higher and
faster than in the trials of the two
previous days. 1t was estimated that
his speed was about 81 miles an hour
on an average, although the machine
probably exceeded 40 miles when
flying with the breeze.
After the mishap Orvile said he
would not be ready for another flight
before Tuesday at the earliest The
motor on the aeropane had been
missing explosions for some time be-
fore it stopped. Evidently some
changes had been made either in the
sparker or the motor as it was de-
velopng more power than on the two
previous days.
Orville got away in splendid shape
on the first trial, the machine trav-
cling with greater steadiness thar ir
former trials. Orville, on the first
flight landed within 200 feet Of the
starting tower, and the aeroplane
came down "as light as a feather"

CORPORATION TAX AMENDMENT
TO TARIFF is FINALLY
ADOPTED.
ACTION A BIG SURPRISE
Efforts to Force an Agreement to Vote
Upon the Proposition Today Result
ed in Deposition Which Forced an
Immediate Ballot, With a Resultant
Victory for the Amendment.

washington, July 2.-The corpora
tion tax amendment suggested by
President Taft, drawn by Attorney
General Wickersham and presented
to the senate by Mr.. Aldrich, chair
man of the committee on finance, is
an integral part of the tariff bill as
that bin now stands. The senate
reached a vote on the proposition
shortly before adjourning at Z o'clock
this evening and the amendment was
agreed to by the large vote of so to
II. With all modifying amendments
disposed of, many democrats voted
with most of the republicans for the
amendment. The test vote was on
the substitution of the corporation
tax for the income tax provision and
on that vote 45 senators cast their
ballots in the affirmative and 81 in
the negative. On this ballot all the
democratic votes We're cast in favor
of the income tax, which also re-
ceived the support of a number of
insurgent republicans.
The income tax question disposed
of, the senate tomorrow will enter
upon the administrative feature of
the tariff bill, probably taking up the
maximum and minimum rate prov-
son. The reaching of a vote came as
somewhat of surprise to, a large
majority Of the senators, but not to
Senator Aldrich and his intimate ad-
visers. Mr.. Aldrich himself had been
confident from the time Of his ar
rival in the senate early in the day,
after a brief vacation, that he would
succeed in getting a vote before ad-
journment.
Animated Debate.
The debate was somewhat more an
mated than yesterday and there was
a steady fire of oratory from the be-
ginning of the session at 10 o'clock
until 4:30. During that time Sena
tors Hepburn, Hughes, Cummins,
Newlands, Rayner, Brandegee, Root
and Aldrich discussed all phases of
the income tax question. OF these,
Mr.. Newlands was the last speaker.
Mr.. Aldrich then asked for a unani-
nous agreement for a vote on the
corporation tax amendment tomorrow
at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Aldrich had pre-
viously been comforting with Messrs.
Bailey Cummins. Borah and other
opponents of the amendment and it |
was generally supposed that they had
reached an understanding that the
vote be taken tomorrow. When it
seemed that such compact was
probable, Senator Cummins made an
objection His objection to the unan-
nous agreement not only had the eff
feet of preventing the fixing of the |
vote for tomorrow, but of forcing it
today.
Holds the Floor.
Even after Mr.. Cummins objection
had been recorded and Mr.. Aldrich
called for a vote it looked as if he
would be disappointed. Senator
Frazier, who has been a supporter of
the income tax amendment and an
opponent of the corporation tax, was
absent on account of illness. Mr.
Bailey announced his determination
to hold the floor until Mr. Frazier
could make his appearance. Mr..
Frazier soon came in and thereon the

so solicitous. He realized why, finally, he himself had been assaulted in the last desperate effort to keep him from witnessing the transfer of the gun to the tempering bath.
 Finally he understood why Frances had come there that night. She must have suspected. and she had come to save him. The thought of the dastard- ly trick enraged him.
 "It was killed in the tempering bath! I swear it was!' Sommers exclaimed fiercely "Pinckney was in the room that night at the Durant works. He's here-here at this hotel I'll settle with him"
 He had taken a step when the secret service man caught him by the arm.
 Easy, lad, easy!' he cautioned. TDon't lose your head! I've made in vestigations in Pittsburg, and I'm go- ing to question Mir. Pinckney myself"
 With desperate effort under the re- straining hand Sommers regained his self control. His mind began to work again logically, shrewdly. He saw what he had to do and how he must help this friendly officer.
