DAYS HAPPENINGS
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, June 2.-The most inn portant happenings in the nations cap ital today were as follows:
 Taking to task the other republicans in the Senate for violating the partys pledge to the President to revise the tariff downward, LaFollette began speech which he will conclude tomor- row when the session will begin. Sen ators Nelson, Gore and Elkins also ad- dressed the Senate.
 On the eve of his departure for Eu- rope later in the month, Samuel Com pers, the labor leader, called on Presi- dent Taft for a conference on labor matters. Afterward he said he would return to this country in time either to attend the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor or go to jail. "T had rather attend the conven- tion," he added
 Five retired naval officers have been relieved from active duty on an order issued today by the Secretary of the Navy in carrying out the new naval administration policy.
 Ills belief in free religion was ex- pressed by President Taft in an ad- dress to the Seventh Day Adventists who visited him.

Atlantic City, N. J., June 2.-Declaring that "the professional advocates of the Anti-Saloon league have overshot the mark and that their statements are gross ly exaggerated where they are not pur- posely misleading" the board of trus- tees of the United States Brewers asso- cation, which opened its forty ninth an- nual convention at the Hotel Shelbourne here today, went on record with the ad- ditional declaration that the 'so-called prohibition wave" has reached it's height, and that reaction is already beginning to set in"
 These statements were contained in the annual report of the trustees, which was placed before the convention along with the reports of a number of committees.
 "The political character of the agita- ton in some states,' the report says, has become apparent. and there is dispo- sition of the more thoughtful and re- sponsible journals to discuss the drink question in sane and conservative man ner. The real leaders of the best thought of the country are coming to realize that there is a safe middle ground upon which all reasonable people can stand, and we believe that the brewing trade gradually is establishing itself in the confidence of

Prohibition Does Not
 Decrease Beer Supply

such people, and that before long it can conn- upon their open support"
 The report goes extensively into the local option agitation, reviewing the work done by the several committees of the as- soeiation in meeting the prohibition slt- uation The best conditions. the report says, are to be found in states where leg islation has been wise and faia and calls attertio to the Pennsylvania liquor law as one of the best in the country.
 Touching upon national legislation, ,he report stated that it is to be regretted that at each recurring session of Con gress there Is an increase in the number of members who seek to destroy the liquor business by federal legislation.
 The trustees say that the beer sales for the year ending June 30, 1908, showed an increase of $239, ,798, which they say is remarkable, considering that the sales for the previous year were the largest in the history of the trade The nine months, from June, 1908, to April, 1909, the trus- tees say. show a decrease of $2.5S0, ,301 as compared with the same nine months in the previous year. sN
 '"The returns from our ind nal mem bers," the trustees say, '1ndica 1t the decrease in states like Pennsylvan- lew York and New Jersey. which have p- : tically no dry territory, has been as large in proportion as the decrease in the states that by area are largely dry"

BROKERS FEEL THE
 HAND OF THE LAW

Detroit, June 2-The $15O0,000 failure of Currie X Go. last July resulted today in the indictment of Louis H. Case, manag- ing partner: Herbert B. Page, Robert L.. Edwards, Ernest Kraetke and William H.. Strizskie, clerks, and William Rowland and Frederick T. Dolsen, telegraph op- orators, employed by the defunct firm, on charges of criminal irregularity.
 Three indictments were returned one being against the seven men jointly and two against Case individually. One in- dctment charges Case with wrongfully converting a check for Sl5000 on complaint of James A. Curtis, in connection with q deal of 200 shares of Pittsburg, Chicago Cincinnati and St. Louis railroad stock One alleges Case wrongfully converted a check of S1212 .50 said to have been drawn by Harvey Miller, payable to the firm of Cameron. Currie & Go. The third indict- ment charges Case jointly with the others wifh being implicated in an alleged conspiracy to defraud the Currie firm of a sum alleged in the indictment to be $0,- 600.
 It is alleged that the indicted men joint ly, by. the use of fictitious names and names of citizens, used without their con- sent. conspired to defraud Cameron Cur Tie by unauthorized use of the Cameron Currie x Co credit with Hayden, Stone & Co. of Boston and other similar insti- tutions and banks.
 The writs were immediately placed in the hands of officers and the indicted men were notified to appear in court tomorrow morning.

New York. June 2.-Affairs of F. Au- gustus Heinze and the United Copper company, which have kept the United States circuit court and the federal au- thorities here busy because of the dis appearance of the books of the company needed by the federal jury to clear up loans alleged to have been made by Heinze while he was head of the Mer- cantile National bank during the panic of 1907, were clarified somewhat today and yet seemingly paradoxically compli- cated
 George Baglin. second vice president of the United Copper company, and secre- tary to Heinze, who was placed in the Tombs yesterday for contempt of court was released late today without appareFt explanation but 1t is understood this at tion followed his deposition from the board of directors. While no announce ment to this effect was made, a meet ing of the stockholders which was held in Hoboken resulted in the naming of a board in which Baglin's name does not appear The board was almost entirely reorganized with Henze still at the head.
 F. Augustus Heinze was not present at the meeting, but representative, hold ing a proxy for 240000 shares, was on hand, and it is presumed therefore that the board is under Heinze's control. It had been reported that the board would drop Heinze, but since this atcion was taken 1t cannot be confirmed. While the stockholders were meeting in Hoboken the disappearance of the books was be- ing further aired before Judge Lacombe in the United States court. Judge la combe agreed early in the day to give

Omaha, Neb., June 2.-G. W. Woods, Fred Torgensen and James Gordon were today bound over to the grand jury and held under $25 900 bond each to answer the charge of holding up and robbing the "Overland Limited" mail car on the Union Pacific railroad on the night of May 22, by Judge ". H. Munger, in the United States district court.
 Twenty-two witnesses were called to identify the prisoners and all were more or less sure that the men in the prisoners dock were identical with those who com- mitted the robbery. Six small boys, ranging from to Il years, were interest ing witnesses and each told of seeing one or more of the men fir the vicinity of Brown park before and after the rob bery occurred. They found the revolvers and other paraphernalia which led to the arrests of the men charged with the crime.
 Members of the train crew and num- Der of postal clerks were among the wit

CLEMINSON MURDER IS
 MUCH NEARER. SOLUTION

a preliminary hearing. The case was con tinued until June 9. The attorney for the defense wished an immediate trial, but on request of the prosecuting attorneys for more time in which to obtain evidence the continuance was granted. Bail for Dr. Cleminson was refused. Before the hear ing Police Captain Kane had another prolonged interview with Dr. Cleminson, and said following the meeting:
 "Dr. Cleminson told me that he and his wife were of different temperaments He said that he associated with other women and that long ago he and his wife had agreed to go in different directions, but that for their children's sake they were to keep up appearances before strongers.
 He said that on the night of his wifes death he had given her strychnine to re- lieve suffering. Previously he had told me he never gave her medicine. He said that she had summoned a special doctor when ever she was ill., He also told me of a poisonous mixture he had made up for a friend which contained chloral This he declsred his wife knew of. The medi- cine. he said, contained 20 grains of ohloral.'

TEMPERATURE IS AGAIN
 HIGH IN CALHOUN TRIAL

San Francisco, June 2.--A dozen wit nesses who contributed disconnected portions of testimony, told their stories today before the jury in the case of Patrick Calhoun, president of the United railways, charged with bribery. Virtually all the testimony was cor roborative or contradictory of previous evidence and it was apparent that the case of the prosecution, which was opened on April 15. is drawing to close.
 John H. Helms, formerly employed by the defense as a detective, identified number of documents previously intro duced in evidence as reports stolen from the office of w. J. Ryan. Two angry conflicts acrose, causing Judge Lawler to intervene
 The first breach occurred when Helms testified that he had delivered to Cal houn copies of some of the stolen re- ports. Earl Rogers, attorney for the defense, intimated that the witness had

SHERIFF SHIP
 IS BACK AT HOME

Chattanooga, June 2.-Capt. J. F. Shipp and his co-defendants in the contempt case, with the exception of Luther Will Hams, returned from Washington arriv- ing at 6 o'clock tonight. They were greeted by a large crowd of citizens and a warm welcome was extended.
 With the party was United States Mar shal Dunlap, who escorted the defend- ants to Washington to appear before the supreme court for sentence, which was postponed pending the filing of a petition for re-hearing.
 When Marshal Dunlap stepped from the train he was set upon by a dozen or more women, all of whom shook his hand. Several of the more enthusiastic threw their arms around his neck
 Captain Shipp and the remainder of the defendants appear more optimistic con cerning the final disposition of the case than they have been for weeks, although nothing more than the courteous treat ment of the court has given them the hope of leniency
 Captain Shipp declined to discuss his case further than to comment on the kind treatment accorded himself and the other five defendants.

MERRY RUSH OF WOMEN IN
 AUCTION SALE OF GOWNS

The number of women who attempted to crowd their way into the room where the sale was being held was unprece- dented in the history of the custom house. More than 300 of them were in the sales room and hundreds of others, unable to get anywhere near the room went away diSf pponted. One woman out in the cor ridor got her escort to lift her up so that she could see through window into the chamber She secured a white em broidered linen waist for $l9 and dropped the money to pay for it through the window to an inspector inside.
 Nearly eighty of the 373 lots of the sale brought $3452.
 While many of the women present ob tained bargains, the dealers seemed to have the best of the lively bidding, and many of the most valuable articles went to merchants in Chicago and other vest ern cities, several lots to Omaha.

More Peculiar MOUeS
 In Affairs Ot HeinZe

Sanford Robinson, who as q director. faces prison for alleged contempt. un- til Friday to arrest the charge: but he was obdurate about Baglin until after o'clock, when he was released suddenly with the consent of United States Dis trict Attorney Wise. MT. Wise said at the time that he Shad received no word that Bagin had been deposed from the vice presidency. The grand jury min utes were read in court today, giving some details of Baglins testimony con- corning the disappearance of the books. His testimony showed in effect that on May 19 he had been instructed by Heinze and Robinson at the office of the com pany to find the janitor and make ar engagements for the two strong trunks which had just been taken outside. He did as directed and the trunks were re- moved. They contained the books of the company as sought by the grand jury but where they were taken Baglin said he did not know
 Robinson, it will be recalled, refused to throw any further light on the where abouts of the books, on the plea that he was privileged to take this attitude because of his position as counsel. It is this stand which now threatens him with contempt.
 Arthur P. Heinze who was present when the books were taken away. and who also took the same stand of privilege as Robinson, may be considered further In the investigation. According to informa- tion given out at the United States dis trict Attorneys office tonight as he Is not registered with the clerk of the court of appeals at Albany as a lawyer al though he graduated from Columbia and did not practice until about 1891, but on the basis of the information of the fed eral authorities. he has not been reg istered since 1898.

Chicago, June 2.-Mystery surrounding the death of Mrs. Nora Jane Cleminson was brought nearer solution today, 1t is believed. when Captain of Police Thomas Kane announced that he would examine woman and a man who he believed would be able to give some information con- corning the domestic relations of Dr. Cleminson and his wife. According to Captain Kane, Dr. Cleminson told him today that Mrs. Cleminson had tried to commit suicide two weeks ago by taking ehloroform. The physician declared that he had found empty chloroform bot tie and had asked her about it. She de- nied having used any of the poison, and the physician said he believed her When he found her dead on last Sunday morn ing he declared that he decided to tell the burglar story because he did not think any post mortem would be held, and that his story would be believed.
 Late today pr. Cleminson was taken before Municipal Judge Bruggemyer for

 Later Assistant District Attorney Heney declared himself willing to take a position antagonistic to the court and accept the consequence.
 There is no necessity for your as suming a position antagonistic to this court, MT. Heney" said Judge Lawler.
 "I will put myself in an antagonistic position to the court if the witnesses present are not protected" said Heney.
 Judge Lawler then consented to a review of the testimony given by a witness to whose statements MT. Heney had objected and the storm blew over.
 Rex N. Hamilin, formerly secretary to W. J. Burns, and charged with com plicity in the theft of the documents from Burns office. refused to testify on the ground that his statements tend to incriminate him.
