VAN H|SE ATTACKED
BY CONGRESSMAN
FAWNEY CHARGES U. w. PRESL
DENT WITH MAKING FALSE
ACCUSATIONS.
LATTER DECLARES HE HAS NO
STATEMENT TO MAkE-Ap-
HERES TO DECLARATIONS.

Washington, July 2S.-After a ses.
sion OF 40 minutes the house yester-
day adjourned until tomorrow. at
which time it is expected a resolution
authorizing the tariff conferees to re-
duce the rates on leather and leather
goods below those of the Pavne hill
will be acted upon.
Congressman Tawney, of Minnesota,
aroused the house to a high pitch of
excitement when he denounced DR..
Charles Richard Van Hise, president
of the University of Wisconsin, for hav-
ing, as Tawney said, made false
charges against him regarding his at
titude on conservation of national re-
sources.
Mr.. Tawney declared that DR.. Van
Hise assumed, and falsely charged
that the attitude of congress had been
one of hostility toward this movement
and lnvokes public condemnation up
on himself for having proposed the
amendment to the last sundry civil ap-
preparation bill, which made it impos-

| ment o pay any money for expenses
of any commission not authorized by
| law" He went on to state that, IN
addition to his work as president OF
! the university Mr.. Van Hise for more
than &c years, or since 1882, had been
an employee of the geological survey
and during that time had drawn from
appropriations made by congress. as
compensation approximately $4,000.
Holding up in view an article he had
prer2red in reply, Mr.. Tawnev said
| it had been re- urned to him by the
publication in which the criticism APP
peared because it was controversial
and not in accord with the editorial
policy. I'm other words" he ex-
claimed, cit is not good editorial pol
icy to publish o the American people
the tru-h regarding the attitude of
congress-
Mr.. Tawney considered himself vim
dicated when the house unanimously
and amid loud and continuous ap
plause gave him permission TO print
the reply in the congressional record,
together wi h the communication from
the magazine rejecting it.

the white house last night. The lum-
Der schedule was discussed, but it
was reported after the conference
that no agreement had been reached.
Mr.. Payne remained with the presi-
dent for further discussion.
When the visitors left the execu-
tive mansion some of them stated
positively that the senate must ac-
cede to a rate of 81 a thousand feet
on lumber, as agreed upon by the
house, or the conference report would
fail. 1t is also said the house will
have the presidents support on this
feature of the tariff measure.

SPARK OF LIFE TANNED
BY PINCHtNG HEART

Neenah Wis, July 28.-It is de-
clared by physicians that massaging
and pinching the heart of Gustave
Kimberly, prominent business man
of this city, was all that prevented
him from dying in a recent accident
in his mill at Cedars, Mississippi.
Mr.. Kimberly was placing a belt on
a pulley when a stick slipped from
his hand and entered his chest. The
flesh was torn away. the lung gouged
out and the heart exposed to view.
Kimberly was hustled ON a special
train to Vicksburg, and the heart was
kept beating by constant massaging
and severe pinching, the surgeon be-
ing able to re Ich in through the
wound. Kimberly is now recovering.

PRINCE MURAT'S LOVE.
Not the Widowed Duchess de chauI.
mes, but Her Beautiful Sister.

Paris, July 28.-Instead Of being en-
gagged to the widowed Duchess de
Chaulnes, formerly Miss Theodore
Shonts, as reported last week, Prince
Joachim Murat of Paris is said to have
lost his heart to Marguerite Shonts,
her sister, who went abroad in June
to become the special protege of Mrs
Arthur Paget in London
From London she went to Paris,
where she met the prince, who is a
warm friend of the duchess. That
her sister acted as chaperon in the
frequent little pleasure jaunts the
three took around Paris, is held re-
sponsible for the erroneous report
that Duchess de Chaulnes was to wed
again.

made last year by his brother, Wilbur,
at Lemans, France, with Professor
Painleve, of the French institute, as
passenger That flight was one hour,
nine minutes and 81 seconds. Wilbur
was an eager spectator of his broth

The cheering which heralded the
setting of the new mark in the con-
quest of the air was led by President
Taft in person, who had sat an in
tensely interested spectator through
out the flight, and insisted, at it's con
clusion, upon personally congratulate

Yesterdays flight completed the
