Washington, May IL. - Senator
Cores resolution directing the COM
mittee on finance to conduct an In
vestigation into wholesale and retail
prices of commodities was discussed
before the senate at some length
Seeking to have the resolution adopt
ed Mr.. Gore said he wished to have
statements concerning the extortion
ate prices of retail dealers fully
probed so that the country might
know just where the responsibility
for high prices rests.
Senator Aldrich said IL was evi
dent that such an investigation as
that contemplated by the resolution
could not be conducted before the
pending tariff bill was disposed Of
but he had no objection to such an I'm
vestigation being undertaken. Sen

SHOCKING DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Young Couple Found Dead Four Days
After Marriage.

Portland, Ore, May 19.-Informa-
tion has reached here Of the finding,
four days after their marriage, of the
bodies of Louis III. Worley and his
bride at their home near Redmond, a
town in the vicinity of Prineville, Ore.
The tragedy is shrouded in mystery.
Mrs. Worley's charred body was
found In the burned ruins of the
home, while that of her husband was
found in the barn with bullet wound
in the temple. According to the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury, which held
an inquest over Mrs. Worley's body,
the woman came to her death acci.
dentally. Whether Worley committed
suicide or whether the couple were
victims of a double murder has not
been decided. Worley came to Ore
gon from st. Louis, where he was
born. He owned one of the best
farms In the district and was consid-
cred prosperous. Recently he sent
for Miss Ruth LEROY of Chicago, his
sweetheart, who had known him In
the East, and she came here and
married him, the wedding taking place
Wednesday last.

Association of Manufacturers against
class legislation" Mr.. Van Cleave
urged necessity of further precam.
tions. Financial confidence is reviy-
ins and there is an improvement In
most of the important lines of trade, =
he said. "Unwise labor legislation,
however, could quickly check this
trade uplift"
Referring to the efforts of labor
leaders to secure the enactment cf
anti-iniunction legislation President
Van Clcave said:
I'VE defeated them in Washington;
then the conspirators massed their
forces In Chicago and attempted to
frighten the Republican national con-
vention and it's candidates into sane
tioning their undemocratic, anti-repub-
lican and un- American propaganda.
We defeated them there also. As the
plotters then contrived to place their
doctrine of class favors into the Den
yer platform and as they obtained
formal endorsement for them from
the Democratic candidate we had no
alternative except to throw our sup
port to the Chicago nominee. And we
have excellent reasons for knowing
our work told decisively in the gen
eral result
Fair minded, public spirited citi-
gems will say that an organization
which by the acknowledgment of it's
own leaders cannot live unless it gets
q license to break the laws deserves
to die.
an the United States at this mo-
ment there is an absolutism which
violates the orders of its courts, which
denounces its judges and which re.
pudiates and defies the laws and au-
,hority of the nation"
John Kirby. Jr, of Dayton, O., was
the unanimous choice OF the nominal
ing committee as a candidate for
president of the association TO sue
ceed James w Van Cleave.

MAKING FIGHT FOR TRAFFIC
500 Line to Construct Three New
Branch Lines.

Chicago, May 1a.-It is said that a
direct line between Winnipeg and Chi.
cago will be in operation over the
rails of the Canadian Pacific railway
by the fall of 1910. This will be ac-
complished by the building OF a
branch of the 500 line from Thief
River Falls, Mimi, to Duluth, meet.
ing the plans of the Great Northern
railway in its projected line from
Winnipeg to the international bound,
ary.
The 500 will, in addition, soon be-
gin work on two other branch lines
These are made possible by the pur
chase of the Wisconsin Central by the
Canadian Pacific. One of these
branches will be a cutoff intended to
shorten the distance between Mime
apolis and Chicago. thereby placing
the company in position to bid fol
both freight and passenger traffic be
tween Chicago and the Twin Cities.
The other branch line will be con.
structed from Booten. eighty miles
west of st. Paul on the main line OF
the 500 line, to Duluth, forming a
direct connection between the 500
line and the Head of the Lakes.

BLOCKS TRAFFIC FOR A TIME
Partial Cavein of Famous Tunnel Near
leadville, Colo.

Denver, May 19.-Nearly 500 feet of
the famous tunnel over Tennessee
pass on the Denver and Rio Grande
railway, located about five miles west
Of Leadville, has caved in. There
were no casualties, but the tracks will
be blocked probably for three days.
The cavein occurred about 1000
feet from the portal of the tunnel,
probably at one of three air shafts
that reach up through the tunnel roof,
and undoubtedly was caused by the
melting of the extremely heavy
SHOWS.
The discovery Of the cavein was
made by a track walker. Believing
that the vast mass of dirt and rock
had buried a train he hurried back to
the first station and gave the warning.
A train bearing engineers and officials
Of the road was rushed to the scene,
but 1t was found that no one had been
hurt. Arrangements have been made
whereby traffic will be taken care of
by the Colorado Midland railway.

New York, May ia bread fam
Inc among the 100000 residents of the
East Side was inaugurated when more
than 400 bakeries closed down. The
trouble started with the increase in
the price of wheat recently and was
augmented by the coincident strike OF
the bakery employees on the East Side
AT a meeting of the bakery owners
1t was unanimously decided to close
all of their shops, numbering more
than 400. The police, hearing of this
detailed an unusually large number OF
men IN duty I'm that section during
the hours when housewives usually
visit the bakeries. There was a fear
that the riotous scenes CT few years
ago, when the price OF meat was
raised, might be repeated.
Bakers who are not affected by the
action of the meeting will not be able
to supply one-tenth of the demand FOR
bread in the crowded East Side and
therefore it was believed that there

clared, because both parties would be
particularly anxious to control the
next house.
"Reverses in the middle of a presi-
Dental term" said the speaker, "us-
ually mean that the opposing party

such canvasses there is always a pow

both parties to make promises and

Poet 5 Grandson
A Criminal PaupGT
Grandson Of the Poet Laureate of
England in the Police
Court.

Literary England has been
somewhat shocked recently by a
remarkably pathetic story, re-
vealed in a country police court,
concerning the grandson of thelI
one-time poet laureate, Robert
Southey. At a little place called
Sharj, in Westmoreland-t the
beautiful lake country celebrated
by Wadsworth and other writers
Charles Southey was brought
up, the other day, on a charge Of
begging. On inquiry it turned
out that this begger was the act
ual grandson Of the poet. Like
his grandfather, this begger had
"taken to literature" but he had
fallen on evil days. He was once
in possession of a comfortable
home, but his wife left him; and
then he went on the down grade
which the classic poets describe
as descending so easily. Finally
he stole $3.50 and went to prison.
On coming out of Jail he again
followed literature, but none of
his compositions were accepted,
and the only lot left for him was
begging. 1t seems truly to be
another case of an avenging
Nemesis. 1t will be remembered
that the great" Southey was
considerable of a prig, and would
have been Mortified to think that
any of his descendants could
have reached the state attained
by his grandson. Southey, the
poet laureate, had a contempt
and hatred for Shelley and By
ron, regarding both as very
wicked young men," 1t is a
curious revenge brought by the
whirligig of time that Shelley
should have q fine monument at
Oxford and be very much "alive"
in the minds of the present gen
Grafton, while Southey should APP
pear to be almdst forgotten and
his grandson' should be starving.
A writer in the Times suggests
that a public subscription ought
to be raised to rescue the de-
scendant of the poet laureate
from his terrible. position.

IMMORTALITY.

Every one has heard the story
which has gone the rounds of New
England, of a strong and beauti-

leaf of an old table of apple-tree

in Connecticut, and afterward in
