TREASURY DEFICIT
S5,453,955 IN MAY

Washington June 2.-The treasury
deficit for May, as shown by yesteT-
days statement, is $5,453 955 and for
eleven mon his of the current fiscal
year of $97858,1O2. The available
cash balance is $118,979 764, the work
ing balance $4O,329,00O. The total
receipts for May were So, 80.
d sbursements $58,786 265.
This showing is much more favora-
ole than was expected by officials as
late as thee months ago and indicates
hat the deficit for the full fiscal year
will fall considerably slort of the Off
cial estimate of S112,000,000. The
work ng balance is not, however, re-
galded as fully adequate to the prob
able needs of the treasury for any

not pressing, il is believed the off,

EXPRESS MALICE
MUST Be PROVED
so HOLDS JUDGE ANDERSON IN
GOVERNMENT CASE AGAINST
PUBLISHERS.
EDITOR WILLIAMS DISCUSSED
PANAMA QUESTION FROM
SENSE OF DUTY.

Indianapolis. June 2.-Delyan Smith
and Charles R. Williams, Of the In
dianapolis News, were before Judge
Anderson, of the United States court,
this district, yesterday resisting re-
movaI to the District Of Columbia for
trial on indictments charging them
with having committed criminal libel
in publishing articles intimating that
there was enormous graft in the pur-
chase by the United States Of the
Panama canal zone. Smith and Will
Iiams were indicted by a grand jury
in the District of Columbia Jointly
with the prOprietOrs of the New York
World. The attorney for the defend
ants main aimed yesterday, and sought
to prove his points by evidence pre-
sented that the newspaper publishers
we're not guilty Of malice necessary to
complete criminal Iibe., and that they
had not committed an Offense for
which they could be removed from
one dis -rict to another for trial, and
that the Indictment charging them
with criminal libel was baseless.
The government maintained that on
the face Of the Indictment and the in
formation the defendants should be
transferred TO the District Of Column
bia for trial.
Judge Anderson ruled against the
government. He called attention to
the necessity of proving expresses, not
implied malice in a prosecution for
criminal libel. Malice in civil action
he said, was very different from NAL
ice in a criminal case. Implied NAL
ice in newspaper publication might be
sufficient to justify a judgment for
damages against the publisher, but in
a crimina! action a different degree Of
malice was required. 1t must be eX-
press malice. The court decided to
hear the evidence.
Ernest I. Lewis, spOndent of
the News, denied that he had any in
structions as 10 handling the Panama
canal matter in the dispatches from
Chicago during the presidential cam
paign.
Managing Editor Williams testified
that he mad not written the editorials
complained of by the government
though he approved them as in the in
terest Of public morality and integrity.
Mr.. Rowland, who wrote the editori-
ais, said he wrote them because he
thought the subject was the biggest
thing in the campaign and he should
not have discharged his duty if he
had not discussed it. He made no
personal investigation and did not
know personally that c. P. Taft was
interested in Panama transfer.

tective rate allowed for this process
was not excessive. Early in the day
Senator Dollfver took exception to a
remark by Mr.. Aldrich. The Iowa
senator had offered an amendment to
the cotton schedule providing for ad
valorem rather than specific duties.
whereupon Mr. Aldrich made an in
cidental reference to the senators
who came here with importers
briefs" Mr.. Dolliver made a sharp
reply, but when Mr.. Aldrich explained
he had not meant any reflection, calm
was restored and business proceeded
with serenity.
Later the senator from Iowa said
that reflections upon his course had
come from behind the doors of the
finance committee. This was SD in
response to a defense by Mr.. Root of
the board of general appraisers. to
which reference had been made by
Mr.. Dolliver.

MURDER CHARGED
TO DR.. CLEM|NSON
ATTENDS FUNERAL OF WIFE UN-
DER POLICE GUARD-MATN-
TAINS CoMPoSURE.
WOMEN IN CASE SAID TO HAVE
BEEN FOUND-MUCH INTER-
EST IN CASE.

Chicago, June pr. Haldane
CIeminson was formally booked for
murder here yesterday. Complaint
was made by Detective Levi Woods OF
the Rogers Park police station, IN
which district the alleged murder oc-
CURED and briefly charges the physi-
clan with staying his wife, Mrs. Nora
Jane .CleminsOn. The home of the
CleminsOns was crowded yesterday
when the funeral of Mrs. Cl.eminsOn
was held. Every eye in the room was
on the doctor, who attended under
police guard, as he silently took his
last look at the young woman whose
tragic end is laid at his door but he
maintained his compOsure. The de
cedents stomach was placed in the
hands of experts for chemical examin-
alton by order of Coroner Hoffman
who directed that a first test be made
for traces of morphine. A report on
this phase of the case is expected to-
day.
Chief of Detectives O'Brien stated
that CleminsOn's declaration that his
wife had been chIoroformed by burg
lars, and that he himself suffered from
the poison, was utterly unworthy of
cred,ence. Money and spoons which
it is alleged the physician said were
stolen, were found in a closet Of his
house. All attempts to make the
prisoner talk failed yesterday.
He repeatedly, to O'Brien, refused
to answer ION advice of counsel"
"Why did you lie when you told
that story about burgIars?" O'Brien
demanded
81 refuse to answer on advice of
counsel"
'Why did you say chIoroform killed
her when chIoroform had nothing to
do with it?'
The prisoner returned the same
answer to this, and a request for the
name of his lawyer.
The discovery of the identity OF
two women with whom CIeminson it
is said, has been on extremely friend
ly terms for some time past has led
the police to believe that they are on
the trail of evidence that may show
motive for the murder of Mrs. Glenn
insOn, if she was murdered.
The women to whom Dr. CIeminson
sent flowers have been
discovered to be Miss J. NJ. Berg,
aged q, who was patient at the Chi
cago Union hospital May 20 TO May
26. According to DR.. Zangham,
house physician at the hospital, CleN-
inson made almost daily visits to the
hospital while Miss Berg was there
and left large punches of flowers each
time. 1t has been impossible to To-
cate Miss Berg at address on hospital
record.
The other woman is Mrs. Mae Gray
with whom Cleminson roomed for
three months prior to his graduation
from Hahnemann medical college.
Mrs. Gray spoke freely about her ac-
Quaintance with Clemfnson.
The case has excited the greatest
interest in years here owing to the
youth and comparative prominence OF
the principals. After several years
Of struggling it is said the doctors
practice had grown to liberal proper
tons. MS. CleminsOn was bright. OF
an affectionate disposition and had
many friends

CRIME WAS ONE OF MOST afro
CIOUS IN THE HISTORY
OF IOWA

Des Moines, June 2.-The negro,
John Junkin, last night was found
guilty, at CentervilIe, Of the murder
of Clara Rosen, the Ottumwa choir
singer February ) last, and was sen
fenced to death by Judge Roberts.
The jury returned the verdict after
deliberation of less than four hours.
There was an immense crowd await
ing the result of the trial and as the
words were read by the clerk a shout
went up which was taken up by the
crowd in the courthouse square.
The attorneys for the defendant
waived their customary right of three
days before sentence Of death is
passed and agreed that the judge pass
sentence immediately, which the court
did. Junkin will hang the last Friday
in July, 1910.
Last night he was taken to Fort
Madison for safe keeping till the day
Of execution.
Adjutant General Logan Of Des
Moines was in the court room wher
the sentence was pronounced. He
stated last night that there would be
no need of the militia to guard the
prisoner as the verdict met with
popular favor.
Junkins crime was one Of the mos
atrocious in iowa. He confessed tc

The call was raised By a vote OF

The speaker again urged upon the

cause the state board of control could

The assembly refused to reconsid,

Mr.. Ingram argued briefly against
Senator Blaine's joint resolution, 13s,

that it provided for initiative and
