FEW SENATORS OBEY
ORDER FOR MEMBERS
TO GATHER EARLIER

WASHINGTON, June 15.-In the at
tempt of the senate to carry into effect
the new order for daily meetings at III
clock, a few senators had congregated
in the senate chamber when, at that
hour today, the vice president called the
body to order. Fortunately there was
no demand for the presence of a quor-
UNI, and business was allowed to pro-
coed. The amendment covering impor-
tations from the Philippines was taken
up. The tobacco clause received first
attention.
Declaring tobacco grown in the Phil
ippine islands untitled for the Ameri-
can market because of inferior quality,
Senator Bulkely of Connecticut opposed
the Philippine amendment and insisted
that its enactment into law would do
the Philippines no good.
Teach them," he said, that their
way to make a market for their to-
bacco, sugar or anything else is to pro-
duce a superior quality, and there will
be a natural demand for them.'
Mr.. Bulkely offered an amendment
providing that the 10000 gross tons of
wrapper and filler tobacco to be ad-
mitted to the United States from the
Philippines free of duty shall be ''un-
stemmed"; that the number of cigars
to be admitted free shall be 10000, 600,
instead of 150,000,000, and that the
amount of free filler tobacco shall be
reduced from 100000 pounds to 1000,
600 pounds.
Senator Aldrich promptly accepted
this amendment

doubt bring forth startling revelations.
Immediately upon his arrival DR..
Blair looked into the death of Ackler
and found that shortly after o'clock
last night Ackler was taken i'll and
was attended by DR.. Wilson. At 2
o clock Ackler sank into an uncoE-
scious condition, from which he did not
recover, and death resulted at 4:1o
o'clock this morning.
Surgeons Mystified
The surgeons at Patton were mys-
titled by Aclxler's sudden death and
notified Coroner Van VIE that they
were unable to assign the cause OF
death and requested an inquest.
A coroners jury was hastily sum-
moned and was present when the
autopsy was performed. The jury re-
ported that death was the result of a
cancerous growth in the lower intes-
tines, which resulted in their perfora-
ton and the consequent allowing of the
intestines to enter the abdominal re-
gions.
The recent developments have caused
much interest in San Bernardino and
the result of the investigation by the
board of managers which Is to be held
Saturday, is eagerly awaited.
Additional interest is given to the
case, as Dr. George w. Campbell of
Los Angeles has disputed the state
ments of the Patton physicians as 10
the cause of Grassmee's death, and a
bitter medical argument is expected to
result at the investigation.
