vote came only five senators stood
by the bill, although there were five
pairs.
Governor Davidson sent his third

sending back without approval the
Hull bill prohibiting the use of
abusive and obscene language, and

The commission is also authorized
TO transfer the capitol dome to the ad
ministration building of the uniVer-

$4,000.
The limitation of expense in the
construction of each wing remains at

stricted to the purchase of only such
fixtures and furnishings as are re-
quired in the building. Statuary and

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May 25.-Had it not
been for the attitude of the progress
sive republicans" who favor the adop-
tfCn of an income tax amendment to
the tariff bill, it is probable that
Senator Bailey might have reached an
agreement with members of the fl
nance committee for a vote on his
amendment on June 10.
Offense was taken by some Of the
s0-caIed insurgent republicans be
cause Of the notice served by the
Texas senator Monday that no gen
eraI agreements could be obtained on
anv phase of the tariff bill so long as
Senator Aldrich refused permission
for the fixing of time for vote on
Mr.. Bailey's income tax amendment.
It was made clear at an informal
conference that the republicans who
are supporting the Cummins amend
ment desire a continuance of the Goa
litton with the democrats, but that
they did rot want it at the expense OF
surrendering control of the income
tax fight to the democrats. Mr.. Cum
Minis conveyed this view to Mr..
Bailey.

TWENTY-FIVE DEAD,
TOWNS WIPED OUT
TORNADO VISITS OKLAHOMA
A DELUGE OF RAIN
CAUSES FLOODS.
DAKOTA, TOO, SWEPT BY STORM
AND MANY CASUALTIES
REPORTED.

Oklahoma City, May 30.-At least
Is people were killed last night by a
tornado that devastated the Oklahoma
towns of Keywost and Depew. Forty
or more are injured.
At least 10 were killed at Keywest
and five at Depew. Wires are down
and many rumors OF death and de-
struction at isolated points could not
be confirmed
Following the wind came a deluge
of rain, and floods added to the ter
rOrs of the situation. Practically
nothing was left at Keywest. a town
of 200 inhabitants.
Depew was destroyed by a double
twister formed from that striking
Keywest, and travelled in a northeast
erly direction, and another coming
from the east. The tornado wiped
out Depew, then pushed northeast,
spending its force, presumably, a few
miles further ON. 1t is impossible to
get the details last night, every wire
is down and roads impossible.
Dakota Also Swept.
st. Paul, May 30.-Reports late last
night state that seven persons are
known to be dead, many are dying
and over a score seriously injured as
a result of a tornado which swept
northwestern North Dakota yesterday
afternoon.
The residence section of Langd0n
is practically wiped out, four people
were killed and 20 injured. The dead:
Mrs. Joseph B. Boyd, Joseph Powers,
aged II, Mrs. J. Blakley and infant
son of Joseph Balm.
CasseltOn, Devils Lake and other
towns have been completely cut or
from communication, and it is feared
the death list will be greatly in
creased by later reports.

low those of the Dingley law rates,
were protective to those indus ries.

hours were consumed by a debate on
the proposition to increase the duty
on lemons from one cent per pound

Washington, May 27.-By a decisive
vote of 50 to 33, the senate decided
to postpone until June 10, further con-
sideration of the income tax question
in connection with the tariff.
Consideration of the sugar schedule
was continued, but after two amend
ments to it were voted upon the sea-
ate switched off to a discussion of the
possibility of getting a vote on the
possibility of getting a vote on the
Bailey income tax amendment. Mr.
Bailey presented his argument for
vote in his usual forcible manner, but
did not succeed in prevailing upon
Mr.. Aldrich to concede the vote in
advance of the tariff schedule. Mr..
AIdrich declared he would not agree
to a vote on the income tax in ad-
vance of the schedules so long as he
was in charge of the bill.
Two amendments to the sugar
schedule on which votes were taken
were those eliminating the Dutch
Standard test from the tariff schedule
and lowering the duty on refined SUI
gar from 100 cents per pound to
1922 cents per pound. Both were
defeated, the former So to A. and the
latter 80 to So. On the first vote II
republicans voted with the democrats
for the amendment but on the second
only five republicans broke ranks. It
was considered somewhat significant
that the two louisiana senators. Eos
ter and McEnery, the only senators
representing the sugar cane producing
state should have been the only demo
Gratis to vote with the republicans on
the Dutch Standard prov sion, and
this was made the more significant be
cause of the fact that yesterday for
the first time the possibility OF
sharp conflict between the can sugar
and beet sugar interests was indt
Gated.

De SAGAN GIVEN
BAD REPUTATION

Paris, June 1.-The decision of the
superior court of Count Boni de Cas-
teIlane's appeal Of the case brought
by him for the custody of his children
was handed down yesterday and is a
partial victory for the count.
Yesterdays decision confirms the
decision of the lower court giving the
mother the custody of the children,
but sets forth that the father alone
has the right to choose an instructor
and designate the college in which
the chi dren are to educated.
furthermore, Prince Helie de Sagan
is specifically excluded from the list
of persons authorized TO visiU.the chill
dren. The counts contention that the
influence Of the prince is pernicious
is thus in effect sustained.
Count to Control Children.
The decision emphasizes the right
of the count to control the education
of the children; he may name the il
structor of the youngest and pass up,
on the choice Of an institution for the
education of the two eldest. If the
parents cannot agree on a school for
these two boys within a fortnight
they are to be sent to the lycee of
Janson, where on.y the mother, the
grandmother, and George Gould may
visit them

Workers as rule, that is, New York

are too busy to bother much about the

part of their industry fortunately goes

excite just criticism. Especially in
every local political campaign they get
extremely busy in this laudable enter.
