ARTHUR REMANDED
FOR GRAND JURY
Negro Again Identified by Mrs.
SwOpe as Her AS
SaiIant.
SaIIant.

Joseph Arthur, alias Hogeye, the
colored man who was identified by Mrs
Irene SWope as the one who assaulted
her at her residence Wednesday even
ing. was given q preliminary hearing
this morning before Judge Mullowny
IN the Police Court, and was held for the
grand jury under $500 bond.
Still highly nervous. Mrs. Swope again
identified Arthur as her assailant, and
related practically the same story as
was given TO a representative Of The
Times on the morning following the
assault.
Officer NIcQuade. OF the Second pre-
cinct. testified that he had found Arthur
at his home in the rear Of the SwoDe
home a few minutes after the assault
The negro had ais shoes and coat off
and was stretching as If he had just
awakened according to the policeman.
Arthur's story that he had mot left
home that evening was contradicted on
the stand this morning by Mrs. Parker,
who lives in the same house with
Arthur She said that Arthur left the
house about $50 o'clock. Captain Peck
who obtained an imprint OF the snoe
worn BY the aSsailant, SAYS that II cor

CHAUTAUQUA SEASON
WILL CLOSE DEBATE
Leading Insurgents All Have
Engagements for Lectures
During Summer.

wait until the Chautauqua season
opens" is what some Of the Senate
leaders are saying. when asked about
how long the debate on the tariff bill
will last and when it may safely bS ex-
pc cted the measure will be passed.
Pursuing this idea, they point out that
a number of members of the Senate
spend their summers. or much of their
summers, on the Chautauqua platform,
and in ike lecture fields. 1t viii not
be many weeks before the call of the
Chautauo0a Is strong. Then, so reason
the sacl ems who rule the Senate. 1t
VIII be hard work to prevent Senators
from answering the can, Fastening
through the tariff bill. and going where
the Chautauqua tents are pitched and
where the simoleons constitute a well
come addition to the stateman's purse.
Now il so happens lhat the men who
are most successful IN the Chautauqua
field include the men who are fighting
most vigorously for reductions IN tariff
rates. 1t might be suspected that there
is a close relation to this fact Of oppo-
sition TO high duties and the popularity
OF these Senators who are cOntsnding
for downward revision and the demand
13r them as ChatItauqua lecturers.
Anyhow. the fact is that a number of
the insurgent Republicans are leaders
on the Chautauqua Platform. In the
list are such Senators as Deliver, la
Toilette. Cummins. Bristow, Burkett.
and Bsveridge on the Republican side.
On the Democratic side. among the lead
ing lecturers are Tillman and Bob
Taylor, the talented orator from Ten
nesSee-
Lately, Senator Aldrich has been
urged 10 take up the Chautauqua work
and go out through the country where
the folks can see him. He has not ac-
cepted. But il is likely there will be
several new accessiOns to the Chau-
tauqua field this season from tie Senate.
Il is apparent that II half a dozen OF
the leading lecturers should get Jealous
to hurry the tariff bill through, il would
be Mastered to its end
over il the House there are a num-
Der OF lecturers. The one best known
to the country Is undoubtedly Champ
Clark. the Democratic leader.
