Senate Passes Tariff Bin With

ten REPUBLICANS OPPOSE IT.
Not Satisfied With the Measure
as Completed.

Washington, July 9.-The tariff bill
passed the senate by a vote of As to

Republicans voting in the negative
were Beveridge Ind.l, BristoW
(Kan), Brown (Neb), Bur]zett (Neb),
Clapp (Minn.), Crawford IS. d.,

McEnery Of Louisiana was the only
Democrat recorded in the Affirmative.
AS it passed the senate the bill con-

house provisions.
The discussion throughout the final
hours had been chiefly by Senators
La Toilette and Gore, both Of whom
criticised the bill, but neither of whom
aroused much enthusiasm in the thor

peared that vote could be taken Mr..
Beveridge announced the determina-

GIVEN BY ROCKEFELLER
General Education Board Gets
Ten Million Dollars.

New York, July 1O.-John D. Rookie
teller increased his donations to the
general education board by a gift of
$10,000,000 and also released the board
from the obligation to hold in perpetu-
ity the funds contributed by him. The
gift, announced by Frederick T. Gates,
the chairman of the board, brings Mr..
Rockefeller's donations to the general
education board to S52,0O0,OO0.
1t was contributed, according to the
statement made by Chairman Gates,
because the income of the present
fund available for appropriations had
been exhausted and larger income
to meet educational needs of great inl-
portance had become necessary.
Mr.. Rockefeller's action in empow-
ering the board and its successors to
distribute the principal of funds con-
tributed by him upon the affirmative
vote of two-thirds Of it's members was
said to have been taken in considera-
ton of the possibility, now remote,
that at some future time the object
and purpose of the Rockefeller founda-
ton might become obsolete Under
the original conditions imposed, the
fund would have had to continue in
perpetuity, irrespective of whether a
demand for its continuance existed or

One Dead and Many Narrow Es-
capes at Sioux City, Ia.
.cLouDBuRsT IS The CAUSE
Police and Firemen Warn Citi-
zens Of Danger.

Sioux City, Ia, July 10.-One man
was drowned, 1000 people were
driven from their homes and many
thousands of dollars worth Of damage
was done by a flood in Perry creek, a
small stream which separates the
East and West Sides of Sioux City.
The flood was the worst in the city's
history.
Ihere were many narrow escapes,
but only one life was reported lost.
A cloudburst> north of Sioux City is
believed to have been the cause.
Leon Bethschider, aged twenty-one,
an employe Of the Bevins Van com
pany, was precipitated into Perry
creek by the bank giving way. He
lost his life, being unable to swim in
the raging current
1t is estimated that in the densely
populated district along the creek 500
homes are surrounded by water. The
plant of the Sioux City Traction com
pany was flooded. No cars are run
ming and thousands were compelled
to walk. .......
In the wholesale district near the
Missouri. river front water from the
creek ran along the streets and food
ed cellars, causing heavy loss. At
Fourth and Water streets there was a
foot of water on the first floors of the
stores.
The gas mains to the West Side
were broken by the food and thou
sands of people were forced to eat
cold breakfasts.
Farmers up stream telephoned to
this city at midnight news of the
coming flood. AS quickly as possible
all available steam whistles here were
blown and residents in the threatened
districts were aroused by police and
fremen, but the flood came SO rapidly
that many persons had close calls.
The damage done in Sioux City is
placed at more than S250000. The
city's loss in damage to bridges will
run into the thousands.

HEAVY RAIN IN SOUTHWEST
Rivers of Kansas and Missouri AGAIN
RiSno

Kansas City, July 10.-Renewed
heavy rains in Northwestern Missouri
and in Kansas sent up the Missouri
and Kansas rivers and their tribu-
taries, but no serious result will fol-
low, according to the local weather
observer. .s~ g. ..s ~
At Kansas City the Missouri river
came up three-tenths of a foot, the
gauge marking 25.4. A further rise of
one foot at this point is predicted be-
fore the Missouri becomes stationary.
At Topeka an inch and a half of
rain fell and the small streams were
once more bank full. The Kansas
river there rose nearly half foot and
is still rising.
In the northern part of Dickinson
county, in Central Kansas, a fall of
nine inches of water was reported and
hundreds of acres of wheat were said
to have been ruined

BILL SENT TO CONFERENCE

Scene of Tariff Fight Shifted to Joint
Committee.
Washington, July 10.-The tariff
question has been shifted from both
houses of congress to a conference
committee.
After one hour and half of debate
the house by vote of ITS to ISL
made rule whereby all of the SAT
amendments of the senate were dis
agreed to and the conference request
ed by the senate granted. Eighteen
Republicans voted against the rule
and one Democrat for it.
The debate at times waxed warm,
and disclosed the fact that there were
some Republicans, in addition to the
so-called insurgents" who were yet tt
be pacifed before they would give
their votes on the final passage of the
bill. The Democrats held up the ma
jority party to scorn for having, as
they charged, violated its ante-election
pledges. A feature of the discussion
was an appeal by Chairman Payne
to his colleagues to send the conferees
to the senate unhampered by instrue
lions. He promised TO rigidly exact
an explanation of every amendment
made by the senate, in order that tbs
house conferees might report back a
bill which would meet the apisoval OF
the majority and of the country at
large. His appeal was granted.

Wnere they Bar the WINDOWS and

The City Of Mexico swarms with life,
yet it is still life. 1t is the hour of the
siesta when you arrive and the streets
every darkened doorway possesses its
own colony of slumberers who have
cast themselves down where they
stood to sleep away the heat laden
hours when no man works. Even the

You might spend long lifetime in

WIDOWS AND PENSIONS NIX
Eleven Marriages Discovered Under
Application for Subsidy.
BUT UNCLE SAM WORKS RIDDLE
special Examiner Galloway Unwinds
h Coils of string and Finds
Proper widow at the
other End.

Two widows to one soldier and eleven
marriages in the whole mixup Is the sum
mary of a pension case that has been re-
Gently disposed OF through the investiga-
tons OF Special Examiner J. II. Galloway.
The case came up from Kansas. The
applicant was a woman claiming TO be the
widow of one John Baldwin, who nae
served his country in an Illinois regiment
and then removed to Kansas. where. In the
lapse of fifteen or twenty years, he had
married four times. Each of his former
wives. except the last had been a widow,
and his last wife was a three-times widow.
The previous husband OF Mrs. Baldwin
was a man named Winkler In looking
over the case II was discovered that Wink
Ter had a bad record. growing out OF his
fondness for other peoples horses, and so
he put in a term In the Kansas p%enIten-
tisry. Mrs. winkler divorced herself from
winkler upon his Imprisonment and sew
eral months afterward was wooed and won
by John Baldwin. winkler in the mean
while was kind enough to die in the peni-
Tertiary about three months before Mrs.
Winkler became Mrs. Baldwin.
About eight or ten years after their mar
1age John Baldwin died, and Mrs. Bald
win attacked the pension department for
a pension as his widow. In going into the
depths Of the case it was found that there
was no record OF the death Of the previous
Mrs, Baldwin and in support Of this an
other Mrs. Baldwin put in a claim for a
pension as the real wife of John. 1t was
then that the pension bureau got busy and
in the windup found that the third Mrs.
Baldwin had been divorced from John with
out her knowledge. although she had in the
interim taken another spouse. who had died
a short while before John Baldwin died.
The pension examiners had a merry
chase and the affair finally wound up with
the last Mrs. Baldwin being declared the
legal widow of John and she recently has
been granted a pension of $12 per month.
The parties lived at Walnut. Kan.
