remarked, always appear to be ten

ably when sulking. Behold beside the

MAKES A FLOATING COMPASS
Peculiarly of Magnetized Needle
When Placed in Water.

II thoroughly dry and clean sew
Ing needle is very carefully laid on
the surface OF the water in basin
the needle will float in spite of the
high density Of steel-seven or eight
times that of water.
On close inspection it is found that
the surface of the water is depressed
under the needle, very much as If
there were a thin film stretched over
the water, and slightly indented by the
weight OF the needle. This property
Of liquids. of offering a certain assist
ance to a force eXerted upon their sur
face, is termed surface extension"
The magnitude of the force of surface
tension varies from one liquid to en-
other. 1t is greatest in the case of
mercury. The cause of the phenome-
non must probably be looked for in
the attraction of the liquid molecules
to one another. sewing needle, thus
floating upon water, may be used as a
compass, If it has previously been
magnetized 1t will then point north
and south. and will maintain this po-
sition II the containing vessel is

AFFINITY NOW
FIGURES IN THE
LAZARUS CASE
New Motive for Assault Shown
by Confession of
ytK Prisoner EE
"My Husband Too Good a
Friend of Tarpy's Sister,"
Says Wife

SAN RAFAEL, June q George
Spring confessed to Sheriff Taylor to-
day his guilt in the robbery and as
sault of Francis F. Lazarus in Sausa-
Tito Friday night last. and through his
admission have come several revela-
tions which indicate other motives for
the crime besides that of robbery.
An affinity now figures prominently
in the case
Spring and his companion, Valley
Tarpy, were formally charged this
morning with robbery in the first de-
gree, and the hearing has been set for
Friday next at 20 o'clock.
In his written and signed confes-
sion Spring stated that he and Tarpy
went to Sausalito and hid themselves
IN the rooms of Lazarus, who conducts
a saloon and grocery in old Sausalito
About midnight Lazarus and his wife
returned. Spring set forth that he
held Mrs Lazarus, to prevent her in
reference, while Tarpy beat her hus-
band with the butt of a revolver. The
screams of the woman attracted the
neighbors. and he and Tarpy were
forced to flee.
Spring was captured the next morn
ing In the ferry building at Sausalito
by Deputy Marshal Sousavilla. and
the same day Tarpy was arrested at
Fort Baker by Constable Paul Trou-
cite.
Lazarus says he was robbed of $50
and gold watch, but the property and
coin were not found on either Spring
or Tarpy. Ahother motive was sug-
gested this morning, when Mrs. Lag
arus made the statement to officials of
the sheriffs office that her husband
had long had an affinity in the person
OF Mrs. Wharton, a sister of Tarpy.
don't care who knows it, said
Mrs. Lazarus angrily to Constable
George Agnew today. but my husband
is altogether too good friend of Tar
py's sister"
Edna Downs, who runs the Raleigh
annex at Post and Fillmore streets. San
francisco, called upon District Attor-
ney Boyd today and informed him that
Tarpy and Spring had roomed together
in her house five days before the as
sault. Mrs. Lazarus has Identified the
two men.

SENATE TO HURRY
DEBATE ON TARIFF
Day and Night Sessions Will Be
Held and DiIatOry Motions
Disregarded

WASHINGTON. June with the
adoption of resolutions providing for
day and night sessions, beginning to-
morrow. the senate today heard a sug
gestion Of a policy for limiting dilatory
motions, which caused an earnest pro-
test from Bacon and others.
The vice president held that the alb
sence of a quorum could not be called
to the attention of the senate if the
senator occupying the floor declined to
yield for that purpose.
Bacon said this was one of the rev.
olutionary rulings made when the cur
rency bill was under consideration,
and that under it there would be Sc
rious abuse of parliamentary rules.
He announced his intention to obtain
a full consideration of the question by
the introduction of a resolution to be
considered by the committee on rules.
A long speech dealing with the pledge
of party leaders with respect TO a re-
vision of the tariff was begun by La
Toilette, and will be continued to-
morrow.
BY numerous quotations La Toilette
maintained that no question could be
raised as to the pledge OF the party
for revision downward, and said that
he would demonstrate that on the
whole the pending bill placed the Gus
toms duties above the DingIey rates.
Nelson compared the existing laws
and the pending measure by showing
that in the cotton schedule the rates
had been raised from 20 to so per cent.
Gore again quoted dividends and
surplus earnings of New England cot
ton and wool manufacturing companies
TO sustain his contention that these
corporations make large profits, and
Frye in replying, said that, taking
into consideration both successful and
cotton and wooden mills. a
profit of not more than 6 per cent had
been realized by New England manu-
fscturers.
