HAD ATTEMPTED
TO POISON FAMILY
Tablets placed in Fruit BY Woman
Who at one Time Had Been
Declared Insane.

Bartlesyille, Okla, May 25.-When
G. w. Lang and family returned to
their home in Usage Monday aft
ernoon after spending the day in
Bsrtlesville and found their niece, Miss
Alma Lang, in serious condition, they
suspected that she had been poisoned
and called a physician, who gave her
an emetic, and in few hours she
had recovered her normal condition.
Her illness had followed the eating
of a quantity of stewed apricots which
Mr.. Lang's step-mother, Mrs. Edelia
Harley, had prepared for the family
dinner.
Mr.. Lang at once suspected Mrs
Harley, who had been acting strange
ly of late, had made an unsuccessful
attempt to poison the entire family,
and he caused her arrest.
Mrs. Harley was taken to Pawhus-
ka, where she will be tried, the alleg
ed attempt at poisoning having been
committed in Usage county. She was
adjudged insane in Warren county
Pa, some years ago and afterwards
was pronounced sane and released
The family fear that she has become
insane once more.
The apricots which caused Miss
Lang to be i'll were examined by DR.
Rammel, who had been called to at

opinion that rate increases should not

Mr.. Aldrich said that while he recog-

make suggestions to congress, he did
not believe in the propriety of bring

Il deal only with the presidents

JEFFR|ES NOT A FIGHTER

San Francisco, May 25.-The solid
committee of the board of supervisors
yesterday recommended that permit
be granted the Broadway Athletic
Club to hold a boxing contest in this
city on July 4. Representatives of the
church federation were present and
protested against the recommends
ton.
Ministers appeared before the board
of police commissioners and asked that
the fight be prohibited. John L. Her
get, former pugilist. presided as chair
man Of the board.
When the ministers insisted Jeffries
and Johnson intended to put on prize
fight, Herget said;
Reverend, l must object to you
saying that we are going to grant
permit for a prize fight This is to

Martins Proposition to Amend the Cumnlin'
Amendment May Be Adopted -AIdrich and
Followers Haze Signifed Their Willingness
to Accept it, Would Compel Final
Decision on Rates Within Six
Months After Schedule
is Filed.

Washington, May 25.-Whether the
railroad bill shall prohibit fatty In
creases in railroad rates without the
approval of the interstate commerce
commission or shall extend to six
months the time during which the
commission may suspend the senate
rates, was the question before the
senate when it adjourned yesterday.
The session was devoted to argu-
ments in favor of the Cummins pro-
vision by its author and by Senators
Borah and Dolliver.
The suggestion for the extension of
the time during which the commits
sion may suspend rates for investiga-
ton was made by Senator Martin in
the course of Mr.. Cummins' speech.
His proposition was that the Cummins
provision should be amended by in
serting proviso requiring that "a
final decision shall be rendered with
in six months from the date in which
the schedule is filed" 1t was imme-
diately taken UP by number of SEN
ators on both sides and soon became
the basis of general cloak room dis
cussion of compromise.
Senator Aldrich and his followers
announced their willingness to accept
it, and Senator Dolliver and Cummins
indicated favorable inclination Sen
ator Rayner declared his willingness
to adopt the suggestion and a number
of other democrats acquiesced in his
utterance. Many senators predict its
acceptance when the question comes
to a vote.
The regular republicans will prob
ably insist in different form. AS orig
inally made, it is in the shape of an
amendment to the Cummins amend
ment, but its acceptance in that form
would mean the ultimate acceptance
of the Cummins provision as modified
by Martin. Many of them prefer it as
a substitute for the provision allow
ing suspension of rates for 120 days.
A part of the general understanding
is that the sections of the bill dealing
with railroad capitalization shall be
eliminated from the measure to save
the time that would be required to de.
bate them.
Insofar as the Martin proviso has
been discussed it was considered as
a part of the Cummins amendment
Much difference of opinion regarding
it arose as to where the old rates Of
the new would be in effect after six
months if the commission failed to
reach a conclusion under it within that
time. Mr. Martin contended the old
