SQUALLS IN SENATORIAL SEA.
But Notwithstanding Senate Makes
Substantial Progress on Tariff Bill.

But Notwithstanding Senate Makes
Substantial Progress on Tariff Bill.
Washington, May 23.-There were
some squalls yesterday on the senate
rial sea, but, Notwithstanding, the tar
If bill made progress. A number of
paragraphs were passed upon and,
while in most instances they were
disposed of with the understanding
that the senate might still return to
them, it is the general opinion that
little, II any, change will be made in
most Of them.
The house rates were retained In
the polished plate glass paragraph,
but with the understanding that when
the bill is taken up in the sem
ate proper, II now being consider
ed as in the committee Of the whole,
there probably will be some altera-
tons. The so-called Republican pro-
gressives" criticised the house rate as
too high, while Senator Oliver, who
represents the glass producing state
of Pennsylvania. contended that the
rate was entirely inadequate to the
proper protection of the plate glass
industry.
| The interests considered during the
day RANGED all the way from mica
and feldspar. to automobiles. Begin
ming with the e~arthenware schedule, a
number Of committee recommends
tions were adopted. These included a
marked increase of feldspar, made at
the instance of Senator Bradley, and
a decided reduction on gypsum. There
was also a reduction in mica from the
Dineley rate. Then came an Interrupt
ton by Senator Culberson. who made
a set speech outlining the Democratic
position on the tariff. He declared
that real Democrats were neither pro-
tectionists nor free traders, bat advo-
Gates Of a revenue tariff only.

CONVICT NOW IN SOLITARY.
Hunger Forces Surrender of Man Who
EIuded Guards for Three Days.

Columbus, Ohio, May %. - Harvey
Johnson. a negro burglar serving a
life sentence. who disappeared We'd
nesday night and who had been hid
ing at the prison until 3 o'clock yes
terday morning, is now in solitary
confinement. awaiting trial in the pris-
on court for his attempted escape.
Johnson's hunger is responsible for
his surrender, which occurred after
he had been cornered on the top of
the wash house, in the prison yard.
Despite vigilance of guards and pris-
on attaches, Johnson had eluded cap
ture by hiding under the porch of the
prison postofice.
On three nights he ventured forth
on f~oraging expeditions, but ducked
back to his hiding place when fired
upon by guards. At 1870 last night
he stole the lunch of a guard, but was
apprehended while leaving the
guards kitchen.
He ran to the wash house and
again disappeared, but not before
three rifle shots had rung out and the
entire prison was the scene of excite
ment. A dozen guards quickly sur
rounded the wash house and then a
search was made. Johnson could not
be found. For three hours Johnson
lay on the roof. When he realized
that he would be seen with the COM
ing of daylight he surrendered.

UP BY BANDITS
Mail Clerks Are Forced to Hand
Over United States Mail
Pouches.
POSSES QUICKLY ON TRAIL
Whole Country Secured, but Little in
Way of Clews Is FOund-Passen.
gers Not MOlested.

Omaha, May 25.-Four masked ban
dts held up and robbed Union Pacific
train No. 2, known as the Overland
Limited, a mile west Of the city, just
before midnight and obtained a num-
Der of registered mall pouches, be-
lieved to have contained a large sum
of money.
The robbers evidently got on the
train at some town west of here. The
holdup occurred about a mile west
of the city limits. The robbers climb
ed over the tank and forced the en-
gineer to stop his train and then pro-
ceeded to the mail car.
The clerks we're forced to open the
door and hand out a number of pouch
es of registered mail. Once they OBJ
tanned the bags they hurried away in
a soutberly direction and permitted
the train to proceed.
The passengers were not molested.
Continuous f!usillade.
A continuous fusillAde OF shots was
kept up during the robbery, evident
ly to intimidate passengers and crew.
A flagman who went to the rear mar
rowly escaped being shot. Several
passengers who had not retired start
ed to get out of the vestibules, but
the robbers ordered them back into
the cars.
The train made a quick run to the
station and the police were notified.
pncCnC wnrD hJ,rrinI m tho Cnnnn nn6
although they have secured the COun-
try in the vicinity of the holdup little
progress has been made toward ar
resting the robbers. Two mail
pouches were found some distance
from where the robbery occurred.
They had been cut open.
That the robbers had laid their
plan well is apparent. They dropped
from sight so quickly that n one has
been able to give a clue to the direc-
ton in which they went.
Little in Way of Clues.
The Union Pacific road has made
every effort to trace the men, but
have found little in the way of clues.
Every town in the country has been
notified. The postoffice department
also will aid in the search.
What means of escape the robbers
selected is indefinite, but authorities
believe they had either an automobile
or a fast horse. The fact that only
two rifed pouches have been found
indicates that they were in no hurry
to divide their loot.

LOOK INTO HIGH
FINANCE TRICKS
Creditors Start Investigation of
Mystery of Failure of
Curb Brokers.
GO ON TRAIL OF f. A. RfINzt
Startling Testimony Expected When He
Goes on Stand in Bankruptcy
Court.

New York, May 23.-Creditors of
NJ. R~othenberger & Co. organized yes
terday and elected a committee to act
in harmony with the receiver to elu-
cidate the mystery surrounding the
failure of the curb brokerage firm.
The members of this committe are
A. j. Kohn, Harry Ashmore and II. G..
Einstoin. They believe that the in
vestigation will reveal a condition of
affairs similar to that disclosed in the
notorious Monroe & Monroe case,
when it was found that men high up
in the financial world were the real
hackers of that concern.
Moritz Rosenberger and his part
ners were examined yesterday before
the receiver, Peter Alexander. Some
most interesting testimony in respect
to the dealings between F. Augustus
HeinZe, David Lamar and the bank
rupt firm was given. AS a result the
testimony that Heinze and Lamar
may give before the United States
commissioner in bankruptcy If rigidly
examined is expected to be of q most
startling character.
Some High Finance Tricks.
Developments yesterday indicate
that Rothenberger was more sinned
against than SHINING, so far as his fol.
lowers were concerned. 1t was learn.
ed that the operations of the persons
interested in advancing the price Of
Ohio copper stock extended across the
continent, from Boston to Salt Lake
and the Pacific coast.
1t is not at all unusual, it was said,
for persons who have in their vaults
large blocks of stock on which banks
will not loan, to juggle the securities
through a number Of brokers, and.
washing up the price, obtain large
loans Of them in that way.
The bankrupt firm of Tracy G. Co.
and two other stock exchange houses
were employed in the ring around
the roses" game that it IS alleged was
played in connection with the Ohio
copper boom.
sankrupts Are Indicted.
Ennis and Stoppani, the bankrupt
stock and grain brokers of this city,
have been indicted for grand larceny.
Warrants for their arrest we're issued
and yesterday their attorneys agreed
to surrender them for pleading. The
Indictments were found by the grand
jury of Orange county, New York.
