Washington, July 2o.-"Joe," the
best known and most popular of the
newsboys about congress, woke up
this afternoon from his siesta on the
sunbaked steps of the capitol. to find
that while he slept it had rained PEN

his hands, his forehead. his cheeks, his
nose and when in amazement he leap

from his body and even from his
chubby legs.
First he clutched at his clothing,
and jammed his hand into his pocket,
aghast at the thought of leakage. No,
his small store there was intact. Then,
without appreciable waste of time in

of all this unexpected wealth, he pick

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Number Of Matters Thrown Overheard
Some Headway Made.

Hartford, Conn, July 19.-The senate
had an afternoon session today to con-
tinue the work of clearing decks for
an early adjournment. Some headway
was made by throwing overheard g
number of matters on which there had
been unfavorable reports by commit
tees. The foot of the calendar had AZ
entries. OF this number IL were re-
jected, II others put back again, six
measures given passage on the part OF
the senate. and two sent back to com
mittees and one indefinitely postponed
This last mentioned one was the res
olution calling upon the judiciary COM
mittee to investigate as to the author
ity of other states over corporations
which have charters granted by the
state of Connecticut
Senator Searls said with a smile that
the judiciary committee thought no ac-
tion was necessary. Through it's good
offices the war between Massachusetts
and Connecticut had been averted and
SO no action on the resolution. was
necessary. In response to an inquiry
as to what the object of the resolution
was. the senator replied: Peace is as
sured."
At the time the resolution was in
troduced in February the Massachu-
sets legislature was deep In the agita-
tion over the purchase of the Boston
and Maine stock by the New Haven
road, and 1t had been pointed out that
the road was not legally doing certain
things under its Massachusetts, charter,
acts which were perfectly legal under
its Connecticut charter. The resolution
was intended to get an opinion from
the state as to the extent of its charter
powers.
Among the measures passed was one
which compels "all Connecticut cor
porations" to make reports to the sec
retary Of state. The original bill pro-
vided that corporations organized un-
der the joint stock laws OF the state
shall make reports. but an amendment
by Senator Chase brings all corpora
tions under this bill as provided for
under the present law as to the time
and filing Of reports 1t is understood
that there had been quite little oppo-
sition on the part of the public service
corporations to being included in this
bill and it had been kept on the table
for some time. 1t passed the house in

SUDDEN FALL OF
THE FRENCH CABINET
At Conclusion of Violent Debate Over
Naval Scandals.

Paris. July 2O.-The Clemenceau cab
met fell suddenly tonight under dra-
matte circumstances at the conclusion
of a violent debate over the naval
scandals extending over several days.
NJ. Delcasse, chairman of the iIlvesti-
the naval administration, especially
during the incumbency of M. Pelletan
and NJ. Thomson, former ministers of
marine. But NJ. Picard, who succeed :
ed NJ Thomson, had promised in the
name of the government to complete a
series of reforms both in the admins
tration of the department and the
methods Of construction and the cham
ber was ready to vote confidence in
the government when an incident oc-
CURED which changed a majority into
minority.
Taunt Flung Back With Bitter Words.
Premier CIenenceau. who always has
been an adversary of M. Delcasse,
smarting under the criticism and
doubtless overconfident of majority
which on July Is upon the general
policies of the government was 1872,
taunted the ex-minister of foreign al
fairs. who was thrown overheard by
the Rouvier ministry at the dictation of
Germany during the crisis of 1905, with
having led France to humiliation at
of Frances history, in which Delcasse
was sacrificed, was fatal error IN
stantly there was an uproar of dissent
from both sides of the chamber. Del
casse flung back the taunt in Clemen-
ceaus face with bitter words, declar-
ing amid cheers that France had gone
to Algeciras in the interest of peace.
Hot words were banded back and
forth.
Premier StaIked Out Of Chamber.
Amid the widest excitement the vote
was taken, and when 1t was announced
that the government had been beaten,
212 to 176, Clemenceau clapped his hat
on his head. pulling it far down over
his eyes, and stalked out of the cham
ber, followed by the other ministers, in
token that he intended to resign.
Cabinets Resignation Accepted.
M. Clemenceau went Immediately to
the Elysee palace and told the story to
President Fallieres, who seemed stupi-
fed at the incident which caused the
fall of the cabinet, but he accepted the
resignation of the premier and his min
listers.
But One Opinion in Paris.
There is but one opinion in Paris
tonight-astonishmen that an old par
liamentary warhorse like Clemenceau
should have committed political suicide
by his awkwardness in recalling the
Algeciras spectre upon the eve Of ad-
journment, when the government was
assured of a majority on the naval
question.

conference If he chose, but that he
could not vote the house members Sc
easily Full of wrath, he told his house
colleagues that it was their duty to
stand up for the house bill and to yield
only after every possible effort had
been made to win.
He intimated that some of the house
conferees had been too ready to agree
to increases made by the senate. I'm
less the house members intend to stand
by the house bill there is no use in
trying to vote ON these matters, he
said.
Stalked Angrily from the Room.
As parting shot Mr.. Payne is re-
ported to have said that he would mot
sign a conference report merely be-
cause a majority of the house republic
can conferees had agreed to it. With
his coat tails furled about him, Mr..
Payne stalked angrily from the room.
Although a number of minor amend
ments which had been passed over in
former considerations of the bill were
taken up and settled amicably, it is
reported that all Of the conferees act
ed as If they feared volcanic erup-
tion. Soon after noon someone sug-
gested that an adjournment would be
advisable, and no objection was raised.
They declared that. time would be
saved by having no afternoon or even
ing session. Then it was that Messrs.
Aldrich and Cannon hurried to the
White House.
The possible attitude of the house
democrats was one in which they took
great interest 1t was said that in the
event that President Taft and Repre-
sentative Payne were successful in OBJ
tanning a conference report carrying
out the free raw material programme,
large number of the minority would
be found supporting the republicans if
they decide to vote against the confer
ence report.
Progressive Republicans IN Conference.
A conference of the progressive re-
publican senators was held immedi-
ately after the senate adjourned. There
were present Senators Nelson, Clapp,
Dolliver, Cummins, Burkett, Brown,
Beveridge, Bristow, Crawford ana Bo-
rah. All except Mr.. Borah voted
against the adoption of the senate bill.
An effort was made to agree upon
some programme, but after a discus
sion of political exigencies and condi-
tions in the senator's respective states
1t was stated that all of those present
could not vote against the conference
report If it framed so as to meet with
the presidents approval Not all of
those who voted against the bill In the
senate will vote against the conference
report
The insurgents meeting lasted nearly
two hours. l-.-

JUDICIARY COMMITTEES
EVENING AT sAvIN ROCK.
Duty and Pleasure Joined-Decision
on Matters Left to Report On.

New Haven, Conn, July 20.-The tu-
dietary committee of the general as
sembly Joined duty and pleasure at
their last meeting, which was held at
Savin Rock tonight. The members.
all of whom were present with the
exception of Representative w. ]. Ma
lone, Bristol, definitely decided on the
matters left for them to report on,
the matter of allowing other than
electric light companies to furnish
electricity to consumers the prosecu-
tion of violators of voting machine
laws, and the corrupt practices act.
On the matter of the manufacture
and sale of electricity, 1t is under
stood that there will be both majority
and minority reports. the vote on the
majority report standing to 4. The
general purport of the majority re-
port is understood to be favorable to
the companies chartered by the state,
insomuch as it restricts the furnishing
of light and power by private parties
to the occupants of a single block,
whereas the minority report would do
away with such restriction.
On the matter of the violation of
the uses of the voting machine the
committee will report. a bill which
will provide for the prosecution OF
such violation and the enforcement of
penalties.
In speaking of the report to be pre-
sented on the corrupt practices act
bill. one OF the members stated that
there would be very little change in
the act of 1906. Four of the sections
of the bill presented by Stiles Jud-
son, it is believed, will be inserted in
the new bill. The matter of the
prosecution OF the violators of the
act, II is understood. will be left to
the regular process of criminal law.

URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL
# PASSED BY THE HOUSE.
It includes the s25,ooo Travelling Ex-
penses for the President

Washington. July 20-The urgent
deficiency bill was passed by the
house today after four days of tenn
pestuous debate. The amount carried
Dy it is $454,SOs, or $2o,40S more than
the original sum and includes the
s25,000 travelling expenses for the
president.
The session began calm enough, but
as the day wore on the members got
into a more or less surlv mood and
this led to a succession of objections
to amendments, and to almost every
one of the remaining paragraphs, some
of which were sustained.
After denying the usual extra
months pay to officers and employees
of the capitol, the house threw out of
the bill the allowance for extra work
TO committee stenographers, and then
turned in and refused to carry out a
mandate of the United States supreme
court for the payment to ]. NJ. Ce-
.balios & Co. of New York of $205, ,614
Finally the democrats, led by Mr..
Bowers Of Mississippi, sought to de-
feat the proposition for rnr payment
of the presidents travelling expenses,
but in that they were unsuccessful.
At 5.18 D, m. adjournment was taken
until Friday noon.

washington, July 20.--The tariff bin
was hoisted above the chickering's OF
congressional oonferees today and
transferred bodily from the capitol to
the White House. Deadlocked because
of the attitude of Representative
Payne, who apparently has become
obsessed with the growing conviction
that he is in the minority, the con-
ferees abandoned the usual afternoon
session. Senator Aidrich and Speaker
Cannon repaired TO the White House
post haste to consult with President
Taft, literally taking the tariff bill
with them.
What Happened is Unknown Outside.
What happened at the White House
between the president and the senate
and house leaders Is a sealed book.
Senator Aldrich said that tomorrow
would find the conference committee
again at work, and he expected that by
night, when all Of the conferees are to
be entertained by the president at din
ner most of the problems apart from
those receiving the personal attention
of the president would have been
solved.
Nevertheless there has been trouble
behind those closed and guarded doors
that shut the public from the room
where the real tariff bill is being con-
strueted.
Some say that the differences be-
tween Senator Aldfieh and Represent
ative Payne have taken such form that
progress is impossible unless the pres

action.
Crisis Reached on Lumber Vote.
From a creditable source it was
learned that a crisis was reached when
an effort was made late yesterday to
vote on lumber Mr.. Payne protested
and argued that such move would be
unfair to the president, as this was one
of the subjects practically submitted
to him for adjustment, providing he
could get votes enough In the two
houses to adopt a compromise rate.

question by voting on the question"

Another Story Told
By Lieut.. Bevans|
INQUIRY SESSION CONTINUED At
ANNAPOLIS.
HOW LIEUT.. SUTTON DIED
Testimony That Sutton Deliberately
Shot Situation in Camp
That4Nisht Like a Western Rampage

Annapolis, Nd, July 20.-Today' g
session of the inquiry into the death
of Lieut. James m. Sutton, of the Unit
ed States Marine corps took a sensa-
tfonal turn. when First Lieut. William
F. Bevan. also of the Marine corps and
now attached to the battleship New
Jersey, related what he knew of the
tragedy in the early morning OF Octo-
Der 13, 1907, when young Sutton met
his death. Lieut.. Bevan was officer Of
the guard in the marine camp on that
night, and, one Of the first men to reach
the scene of Sutton's death.
Sutton Deliberately Shot Himself.
Like Lieut.. Adams, he testified that
Sutton deliberately shot himself, but
his description OF Sutton's alleged sui
eide, varied in important details from
the story told by Adams.
The most glaring disagreement with
Adams story came when Bevan swore
that he and two other officers were on
top of Suttin and trying to hold him
down to prevent him from using his
revolvers, when Sutton freed an arm
from under him and fired a bullet into
his own brain. after some one remark
ed that he (Sutton) had killed Lieut..
Rocker. Adams testified that he had
risen from Lieut. Sutton's body and
that Sutton lay exhausted and alone
on the ground, when he saw him raise
his right hand and fire the shot that
ended his life.
Roughhouse in Camp That Night.
Bevan's testimony also revealed that
situation bordering on a wild west
rampage had existed in the marine
camp just prior to the shooting, with
Sutton had been trying to make Lieut..
Roelllcr dance Ly hvefling two revolve
ers at his feet, and afterwards rush
from the camp, disregarding his arrest
by the officer of the guard, and shout
ing that he would quit the marines for
good and all. 1t has been remarked,
in view of the testimony so far, which
makes IL apparent more than one Of
the marines were In an excited and
irresponsible condition on the night iq
question, that none of them could be
expected to give Mrid al1count of the
incidents leading UP to Sutton's death
However that may be. the fact that
Lieut.. Bevan was on duty and had not
been afforded an opportunity to join
In the "1arks' of his brother officers,
Is bound to attach more weight to his
version of the affair.
Witness Made Good impression.
He made a good impression on the
witness stand and gave his testimony
without the least compunction or ner-
vousness. Major Leonard, the Judge
advocate, had not finished his ilrect
examination Of Bevan when court adj
iourned for the day.
