PIzzUTO INQUEST N CONDUCTED STAR
 CHAMBER FASHION

Coroner Clifford B. Wilson continued his plan of star chamber inquests to- day, holding a hearing in the County Court House upon the death of Anto- nio Pizzuto who was shot and killed in brawl. Monday evening, by a pis- toI said to be in the hands of Louis Fasciano, whom the dead man and his brother, Salvatore Pizzuto, attacked. Fasciano received stab wounds before the firing of the fatal shot, from which he is now suffering at St. Vincent s hospital.
 The session this morning in Coroner Wilson's office was held only in the presence of the detectives and a num- Der of the eye witness of the tragedy. After the hearing was over, it having lasted about three hours, Coroner Will son declined to make a statement, rather giving the public whom he is serving a very vague idea as to the real facts in the case. Fasciano, the man who did the shooting though he is very weak from loss of blood caus- ed by the stab wounds, was one of the witnesses, but what his testimony was could not be ascertained. Some facts tended to show that Salvatore PiZzuto, the man, now held by the po- lice was the instigator of the brawl, and if it had not been for him there would have been no stabbing, or such a sad end to the affair.
 This morning in the city court, Sal vatore Pizzuto's lease was called, be- ing continued until July IT, under bonds of $1,0O0. He was not given a chance to make a statement, awaiting the condition of his victim, who is rapidly gaining strength
 Last evening Salvatore, handcuffed to Detective Hackett, was allowed to visit the remains of his brother whose funeral occurred this morning He was later removed to police headquar- ters where he acted as if his mind was blank. He refused to be consoI- ed by friends, weeping like a child

New York. July s.-Strugglfng tc save her sons life. Mrs Sophie Staber wife of George Staber, a wealthy i'm porter, was shot to death by a burglar early to-day in her home, No. 455 East 18th street in the fashionable F1atbush section. The shot that killed his moth CT passed through the shirt of George Staber and the burning powder singed his face. Young Staber was awaken ed by the rattling of a window as the burglars climbed into the house. He started down the stairs, calling to them to leave and he was ordered to stand at the point of a revolver. In- stead he leaped for the burglar and grappled with him. The scuff1e awak- ened Mrs. Staber who rushed down the stairs screaming, For Gods sake George take care of yourself"
 The burglar wrested himself free of the young man and throwing his re- voIver over Staber's shoulder, fired ed the bottom of the stairs. He then turned and fled.
 Young Staber, dazed, tried to follow but was stopped by a fusilade of shots from the mans companion who stood at a window in the rear of the house. revolver and the boy. securing it emptied the five shots it contained, after the fleeing men. One of them took effect for the mans trail through the house was marked with blood.
 Mrs. Staber died before a doctor could be summoned.
 The police have arrested a man in Brooklyn who they are sure is the murderer of Mrs. Staber. At 10:30 o'clock a policeman found an Italian in an almost fainting condition at the corner of Church and Utica avenues. He had a bullet wound through his left arm and the loss of blood had so weakened the man that he could not even talk enough to give his name. The man whom young Staber fired at is supposed to have been struck in the arms. e

PRESBYTERY FIGHT
 FOR THE BIBLE
(specia1 from United Press.)

New York July S.-Insisting that the Presbyterian church is confronting a situation which means the disintegra- tion of the present institution. a. group of ministers of the New York Presby- tery have inaugurated movement of protest against the admission of what they term the 'higher criticism" of the Bible into the teachings of children. The movement was brought about by the ordination last night of George Ashmore Fitch by the Presbytery de- spite a protest filed by the conserva- tive ministers
 The Rev. John Fox, one of the prin- cipaI spokesmen of the conservatives said to-day that the fight is for the preservation of the Presbyterian faith in the Bible which will be pursued to the very end. ''The Presbytery has practically thrown the Bible out of the Presbyterian church. said Dr. Daniel Seeley Gregory, another of the conservatives, to-day. By indorsing this man and ordaining him they have tacitIy accepted his views of the Bible which are nothing more nor less than denials of the authenticity of portions of the Bible
 The conservative ministers have filed with the Presbytery. for transmission to the Synod formal protest against the Presbyterys action. These pro- tests will be answered before the Synod passes upon them by a report from a committee of the Presbytery.

GIRL RAN OFF
 WITH THE BOY
Usual Procedure Was Re versed in Case of Ryan and Annette Kenny-Mrs. Ryan Sorry for Young People.

Much sympathy is expressed for Annette Kenny, aged IT, and John Ryan, who is not yet 19, because the one has been sent to the House of the Good Shepherd at Hartford, and the other held in bail on a charge of seduction. They were both young ana appeared to be fond of each other. They also desired to get married, but the consent of the mother of the girl could not be obtained. Mrs. Ryan, stepmother to the accused boy, who lives at 84 Elm street, spoke in the kindest terms of him, this morning. factor in the scrape. She also said that Ryan is not yet quite 19. Last evening the girl became calmer and admitted that the statements which she made yesterday relative to Mrs. Ryan, whom she had never seen, were the result of her state of mind. These statements were not true. Mrs. Ryan is a woman of kindly manner and is sincerely sorry for the scrape in which the young people are involved The families of the girl and the boy are respectable, and the scandal is a great shock to both families.
 When the NorwaIk police charged Ryan with running away with the girl the latter spoke right out:
 ssWhat's that?" He accused with running off with me? He didn't run away with me. He went because l wanted him to-"
 .In other words you ran off with him." added Captain Pennington.
 "Yes that's it,'' smilingly contrib uted young Ryan.
 Don't you know that she's under age and you had no right to go off with herr" asked the captain. well, I'm under age, too,'' answered Ryan, to whom this phase did not seem very serious, apparently.
 Ryan further explained to the Nor walk police that they intended to get married on Saturday of this week and would have had this ceremony over sooner, but for the fact that they did not have any money and needed new clothes.

The committee have held extended sessions daily and were getting along swimmingly until the question of rate regulation was considered. - This is the rock upon which the committee split. A majority of the committee it is understood are unalterably opposed to making the question of regulating rates a principle of the bill. The minority appear just as firm in agitating for the inclusion of the rate regulating feature. As tbere appeared to be no hope of an Agreement upon this question at the last meeting of the committee held yesterday it was decided to let the matter rest for awhile. The chairman of the committee.

SENATE TAKES FINAL ACTION ON THIS PART OF TARIFF
 BILL
Amendments Knocked Out
tee Sees to it that There is No Ad- journment Until the Final Passage of the Measure is Effected.

Washington. July S.-Promise of a continuous session of the Senate until the final passage Of the tariff bill by that body was given by Chairman Aldrich of the Finance Committee to- day. It took the form of a motion made by him that the rule providing for adjournment at seven o'clock every evening be revoked. His motion was carried and the way was therefore cleared for -an uninterrupted session Of the Senate to be terminated either by the passage of the bill or by special vote to adjourn.
 An amendment by Senator Daniel of Virginia providing that the corpora ton tax should be one fourth per cent. of the gross receipts over $20.OO0 of all corporations having over $500, 900 capi- tai stock was then taken up. Daniel said that the Aldrich tax on net earn ings made the government a deferred creditor. Others were satisfied and then if there were any crumbs left the government would get something. His tax of the gross receipts would make the government a preferred creditor The government would then. sit at the head of the table and get its share in advance of the othsr obligations.
 Bacon, (Georgia,) offered an amend ment to levy a tax on corporations having gross receipts of over $1OO.O0o On Aldrich's motion, both the Bacon and Daniel amendments were la1d on the table.
 Aldrich moved the adoption of the corporation tax section of the tariff bill It was carried. The Senate then adopted section of the bill which provides that when a country grants a bounty or imposes an export duty on goods shipped to this country, the amount of bounty or export duty shall be added to the tariff rate when the importations reach this country

SERIOUS HITCH IN ELECTRIC
 REPEAL BILL; SUBSTITUTE BILL
 NOW TALKED BY COMMITTEE
Electric Lighting Lobby Thought to Be at Bottom of Sudden Change in Announced Plans for Immediate Passage of Act Wiping Out Statute, Which fingers Business Men.

It wes this: That his understanding of the attitude of the committee upon this qIesi,on was that while the committee favos ed the repeal of the existing stat ute 1t also favored a substitute bill covering the situation. Just what is meant by a substitute biu he was not prepared to say until there could be a meeting held by the committee. Such 8 meeting he said would be held this afternoon and he fully expected to be able to submit the repeating resolution and possibly the substitute bill at to- morrow's session of the Senate.
 It begins to appear as if the electric light lobby has a firmer grasp upon the situation than has been supposed. Agents of the various electric light companies appear sanguine that thei1 interests will be safeguarded by legis- lation which win take the place of the present statute.

Twenty Reported Dead
 By Western Floods

St. Joseph Mo-, July S.-A list of dead which at this time defies accu- rate estimation, and loss of telephone and telegraph communication with Pattonsburg make the situation con- fronting the f1ood-swept district to- day one of the most serious in the history of the middle west. The number of dead is estimated up to twenty. The fate of number of persons carried away. by the flood is not known. Five men were swept away with a railroad bridge near Chilicothe late yesterday. Motor boats went in pursuit of the wreck age to which the men were clinging. Darkness came before the boats had overtaken the wreck. Four men are missing at Pattonsburg. It is believ- ed that they were drowned. Reports received this morning say the water in many places is still rising and that the extent of the flood is increasing.
 No word was received up to late this forenoon from PattOnSburg but it is known that two relief trains dis patched yesterday to succor the peo- pie of the inundated town are hope lessly stalled in the flood. At dark last night much of the rescue work was abandoned. The dangers of the flood were so great that rescues could not be made.
 Hundreds of people are in peril to- day. At Pattonsburg the latest re- ports say two foot rise in the Grand river flood had increased the peril of the marooned people. Late last night little had been done for those who were driven to the roofs of their houses.
 Rain fell during most of the night. The situation at Trenton to-day is re- ported more serious than ever Galla- tin is suffering and Gallatin Junction is inundated.
