work Of the Utah Hotel building shook
the city early this morning and shattered
windows in all surrounding structures

one was hurt. A similar attempt to
wreck the new hotel was made a few
months ago and two men were convicted
of the crime.
The steel work on the building is being
done by non-union workmen. and this has
caused much feeling on the part of the

DEBATE RESOLUTION
Opposition to Voting $65, 900
for Cost of Living Inquiry.
ovERMAN STARTS FIGHT
Says He Objects to Spending Money
for Material for Campaign
Book.

The Lodge resolution appropriating
$65, 600 for the extension of the work of
the special Senate committee on the cost
of living was the subject Of spirited dis
cussion in the Senate for a brief time to-
day.
Senator Overman set the ball rolling
and others kicked it along with vigor.
Mr.. Lodge had scarcely concluded q brief
statement to the effect that the inquiry
was necessary If present prices were to
be arrived at when the North Carolina
senator took the floor with the observa-
tion that he was opposed to putting
through q resolution whose only purpose
was to gather material for campaign
book.
He based the remark upon a statement
made by Senator Hale when the subject
was previously before the Senate, to the
effect that the results Of the committee s
investigation would be of Importance in
the coming campaign. He said, in addi-
ton, that he believed the people gener-
ally would have more confidence in the
committees conclusions if drawn from in
vestigations of its own members. He did
not want the committee to look through
the SpectacleS of others.
Thinks Public Is Informed.
Mr.. Clapp appeared to be much of the
same opinion. He thought that people
generally were informed as to prices; he
knew that his own constituents knew the
price Of calico and of eggs and of all
other commodities, and knew they would
not sanction the expenditure of s65,00O to
supply that information.
Mr.. Clay wanted to know what Con-
gress was going to do about it If 1t
found that prices were too high. He did
| not believe that the farmers were getting
better prices than they were entitled to-,
| but he thought it probable that the pack
ing houses were engaged in a conspiracy
to put up prices If such was the case
lie thought the government should pro-
ceed against them under the antitrust
law.
Senators Lodge, Galiinger and Craw-
ford explained that the only purpose of
| the resolution was to permit an inquiry
| into present prices for purposes OF COM
parison with those of ten years ago.
Mr.. Crawford declared that there was
no purpose of promoting politics.
| Further consideration of the resolution
was postponed until tomorrow.

HUGH TOWN, st. Marys. Scilly Is
lands. April 1s.-The steamer Minnehaha
Of the Atlantic transport line struck on
o'clock this morning. Her passengers
were removed In safety. The vessel Is
badly damaged The Minnehaha, Capt.
Layland. from New York for London,
was feeling her way cautiously toward
the English channel through dense fog
that obscured the light on Bishop rock
and led her to approach too near the dan
gerous coast OF the Scilly Islands. When
the Minnehaha hit the rocks she tore
big hole amidships and this morning she
had twenty feet Of water in her fore
holds.
The sixty-six passengers, rudely awak-
ened, were considerably alarmed for
time, but were reassured by the officers
and. SO far as has been learned here, suf-
fered no harm. Scarcely had the steam
or climbed upon the rocks when urgent
wireless messages were being sent to the
Lloyds signal station at the Lizard, from
which point they were passed on to Fal-
mouth
Signals of Distress.
Signals of distress were also picked up
on the islands, and in a short time nsh-
ermen's boats had put out to the wreck
These boats took off the passengers and
landed them at Bryher, where they were
made as comfortable as the resources OF
the little island permitted pending the
arrival of q steamer which was dispatch
ed to take them to Penzance, whence they
will be carried by special train to Lon
don.
Capt. Layland and his crew stood by
the vessel, which at daylight showed
slight list to port. AS soon as the pas
sengers were sent away the work OF
tightening the cargo was begun. The
weather continued thick and rain fell.
but the sea was fairly moderate. Two
iifeboats stood by. The live stock. which
made up q large part of the cargo. was
landed on Sampson Island. Shipments OF
wax and machinery. which filled noids l
and 2, were jettisoned. 1t was thought
that the Minnehaha might be towed on
the rocks at high water.
Engines Are Intact.
An early examination Of the engines
and boiler rooms appeared to show that
their equipment were intact and that the
damage to the vessel was limited to the
forward holds. The Minnehaha struck
at almost the identical spot where her
namesake, sailing ship, was driven
ashore some thirty-seven years ago.
In the emergency the behavior of all on
board the liner could not nave been bet
ter. The lifeboats were swung out
promptly at the first shock. and then
Capt. Layland and the officers and chew
passed among the passengers who had
hurriedly rushed on deck in the clothing
in which they had slept, quieting their
fears and persuading them to return to
their cabins and dress themselves warm
ly for the trip ashore.

The Governments Claim.

The claim of the government was
that Capt. Oberlin M. Carter. as en-
gineer ofi1cer of the United States Army
in charge of the improvements In the
harbor at Savannah. Ga. with Greene
Gaynor, contractors, defrauded the
government by manipulating the speci-
fications and the letting of the con-
tracts as practically to prevent COM
petition. and thereafter experimenting
the performance of the work in such
an inefficient and lax manner as to
allow faulty construction. 1t Is claimed
thereby the government lost more than
x2.OOO.OOo. OF this amount. it is al
legged. Carter got one-third. This suit
was brought to obtain possession of
the securities and real estate in which
it was claimed this money was in
vested.
L. u. Carter of Oakland, ILL.,. an uncle
of Capt. Carter. and 1. S. Carter of Chi
cago, a brother. were charged with aid
ing him to conceal the alleged fraudu-
lently acquired funds and with having
I'm their possession real estate and other
property purchased with the money In
question. The circuit court held that
the contractors had realized excessive
profits and that they had divided them
with Robert +. Westcott of New York,
row deceased. Carter's father-in-law.- and
as conclusion of law Carter must be
hsId chargeable with knowledge of what
was being done in the premises. Upon
this conclusion ii was held the United
States should recover.

OF the x57s, 300 which the government
claimed to have traced to Carter, as prof.
It's he received, $s73.352 was tied up in re-
ceiyer's hands in New York, New Jer-
sey. Illinois and Georgia, subject to the
disposition of the present litigation. In
addition to this amount was $37, ia. which
the circuit court held was not sufficiently
traced but which the circuit court OF ap-
peaIs awarded to the government on the
ground that it was either an original IN
yestment from the profits or substitute.
The circuit court Of appeals rendered
and against /. 8. Carter for $lS,2O4.
From these features of the Judgment
the Carriers took an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Justice Lurton Announces Opinion.
In announcing the opinion OF the court
Justice Lurton said the case was to be
decided on a review of the whole evil
dence and not on the failure of the gov
ernment to sustain any particular point.
He said Capt. Carter's style OF living
changed about the time of the Greene
.Gaynor contracts He began to make
Investments about this time, the justice
said Mr. Westcott, Carters father-ln-
law was referred to by the justice as a
screen for Carter.
From all the circumstances the court
held Carter should have explained how
he got SO much money. and this he had
failed to do.
The court held that the United States
could compel Carter to account for all
the gains ne had received, whether they
could be traced to the investment in
which 1t was put or not.

KILLED BY TRAIN.

While body of workmen were
walking along the railroad track in
Edgar Thursday morning, they found
the lifeless body of man. He proved
to be Mike Kopp, laborer employed
in building railroad bridge across a
creek south of Edgar. His skull was
crushed at the base. The presump-
tion is that he was struck by the
passenger train which leaves Wau-
sau at l:29, but it seems strange that
he was not otherwise injured.
Kopp visited the village after his
days work was completed Wednesday
and spent part of the night there.
He received a check that evening and
after having it cashed he proceeded
to spend the money freely. He still
had money when found the next
morning.

its service the past week and its
patrons are feeling very good over it.
On Wednesday, there were run on .he
valley division a new car for ladies,
a new baggage car and new smoker.
These are up-to-date, handsome new
cars, such as should have been placed
on this division long ago. The PILOT
is of the opinion that the company
can make parlor car pay on this
division.
A change has been made in arrival
OF the morning passenger. Instead of
s:20 a. M, it will hereafter arrive at
6:35 and every morning including
Sundays. This will give Wausau two
trains on Sunday from the south over
this road. This change went into
effect on Sunday
Another change which went into
effect on Sunday, was the putting on
of Milwaukee sleeper, which win be
a great convenience to those going to

SHORT CROP.

Farmers report that the hay crop
in this county this season will be a
failure. Never within the memory of
the Oldest resident of the county has
the outlook for hay crop been so un-
favorable. Some farmers report that
they will not raise enough for their
own use. The pasturage is very poor
and we learn that some farmers are
obliged to feed hay to their stock at
least once day now, where the ami
mails ought TO be picking up enough
grass on the meadows to satisfy their
requirements. 1t is said that in most
sections the grain crop looks fairly
good, and that the prospects age there
win be an ordinary yield. The farmer
who has hay to sell next fall will be a
lucky man.
