Republican leaders in the Senate were
worried last night over the outlook for
the administrations postal savings bank
measure. The insurgents and the Demo-
Gratis OF the Senate got together yester-
day and, with the support Of several Re-
publican Senators who have been identi-
fed heretofore with the majority, appar-
emily took charge OF the situation.
An amendment offered by Senator Cum
Minis. Of Iowa, and resisted by Senator
Carter. of Montana, who is in charge OF
the bill, and by the Senate leaders. who
have been in conference for several days
reconstructing the measure. was adopted
by vote of thirty-elght TO thirty-one.
All Of the Democrats, twenty-five in
number. and sixteen Republicans stood
together other amendments have been
proposed. and it is declared that this com
binauon OF Senators viii be found work
ing in harmony on many of these es-
sentisl features of the bill
Practically all of the Democrats will
vote against the bill on the final roll
cali There Is danger that the bill will
be amended TO such an extent, with the
aid of the full Democratic vote. that Re
publican Senators now in favor of the
measure may finally decline 10 give it
their support which would, of course,

Calls Senator'S Mere Pawns.
Senators Dolliver and Cummins, of
Iowa, led the insurgent attack upon the
form Of the administration measure. Sen
ator Dolliver particularly showed his dis
position to make the situation unpleasant
both for President Taft and the organiza-
lion leaders, 9. t4e Senate.
He read from a circular issued by the
National City Bank, OF New York, and de-
scribed the members OF the Senate as
mere pawns IN a game that was being
played by that end other big financial
Institutions.
The Senate was to have voted on the
postal savings bill yesterday, but by
unanimous consent it took recess al $50
o'clock until 1870 this morning when
consideration Of the several proposed
amendments will be resumed. It is ex-
pected that a vote on the bill Will be
reached at to-day's session,
The amendment that occasioned most
Of the discussion yesterday was offered
by Senator SmO0t, OF Utah. This
amendment provides that in time Of war,
or any emergency involving the public
credit, the President may. in his judg-
ment. withdraw all or any part of the
postal funds from banks and invest them
in bonds or other securities OF the gov
ernment.
The Smoot amendment was aggressive

Senators, who intimated that its purpose
was to permit the withdrawal OF postal
deposits from local communities and
make their investment certain in govern

invested would eventually find its way

AN ANTI-GRAFT CAMPAIGN.
Country Wide Move to BE Started by

The first concerted step toward sup
pressing graft in all its forms through
out the county was taken In Washing

g~anization whose future name preba-
bly, will be 1.-THE National Anti-Graft
movement" opened offices in that city,
from which 1t will conduct it's cam

charge. The movement is the direct
result Of an anti-graft speech made
last week by former Gov. Folk, Of
Missouri, at a banquet rendered him
by the Missouri democracy.
Among those who are said to be
prominently identified with the love-
ment are Perry Belmont, Rudolph

playwright; Joseph J. Willett, Of Ala

date for holding h first national con-

HEIKE IS CONVICTED.
U. s. Lands MAR Higher Up" in
Weight Frauds

Charles Heike, the white-haired
secretary of the American Sugar Re-
filming company, was convicted Fri
day night on one count Of an indict-
ment charging conspiracy to defraud
the government of customs duties on
sugar. e.
Ernest w. Gerbracht. former super
intendent of h Williamsburg
(Brooklyn) refinery, was convicted on
all six counts.
For James r. BendernaSel, former
cashier Of the refinery, the jury stood
seven to Ave for acquittal. He will
be tried again.
The verdict was announced at ten
minutes past 10, after the jurors had
deliberated for twelve hours, minus
fourteen minutes. They had labored
earnestly, from time to time sending
out for transcripts of testimony par
ticularly referring to Heike. But it
was Bendernagers case that caused
the long session. Over his fate more
han twenty ballots were taken.
This ends the governments second
attempt to imprison the group of
men responsible for the vast under
weighing frauds to which the social
ed trust has virtually confessed by the
restitution of more than $4,000 in
duty. Heike is the highest official in
the company upon whom blame has
been fixed, and he now faces a posi-
BILE sentence of two years in the fed
eral prison and a fine Of $4,000. He
Is SIS years old and broken in health
and spirits. His counsel in summing
up declared repeatedly hat a prison
term meant nothing less than death.
Convicted on all six counts, Ger
bracht can be sentenced to twelve
years in prison, with a maximum fine
Of $4,000. Like Heike, he is past
middle age, being 63 years old.

AMERICAN MURDERED IN ITALY.
Woman's Body Found in Trunk
Drawn from Lake Como.

IL q tkh
The police are searching LOmbardE
and all northern Italy for the mul-
derer of an American woman, whose
body, stuffed in a trunk. was found by
fishermen in a little lake near the vii
lage OF Moltrasio, a short distance
from Como and about thirty miles
from Milan.
The authorities of Cernobbio, the
nearest city of consequence to the
scene of the murder, have ascertained
thai the woman was Mrs. Porter
Charlton, and that she had been living
with her husband in the Villa Mol
trasio, which had been let to them by
a Russian gentleman they met casu-
ally.
The police discovered after an ex-
animation of letters and papers found
in the abandoned villa that Mrs.
Charlton, before her last marriage,
was Mrs. Mary Scott Castle of a we'll
known San Francisco family. Porter
Charlton has disappeared, but Con-
stantine Spolatoff, the Russian who
rented the villa, has been arrested at
Roggiano. The police fear that
Charlton also has been murdered, as
they are at a loss to accoun other
wise for his complete disappearance

THREE DAYS OF THRILLS.
Aviation Meet at Sioux City, June 90
30, July 1.

The desire of mar to the
air is as old as the life of the human
race. Down through the ages men
have watched the flight Of birds ana
wondered If the time would ever come
when human beings could fly through
the air. Now and then a Darius
Green would make the attempt. but
successful aviation never was accom-
plished until the present day. NO"
mans conquest of the air Is a realty
the manbird has arrived.
Recognizing the universal desire TO
see this greatest attraction the world
has even known, the business men or
Sioux City have made arrangements
for an aviation meet to be held at
Woodland park, Riverside, during the
last two days of June and the first
day Of July.
The meet will be held under the
direction of the Sioux City
cial club. the members of which sub
scribed $40, OO0 to secure h Scientlirc
American trophy machine of Glenn
II .Curtiss. This machine and others
will be brought to Sioux City by Mr..
Curtiss's two chief assistants, Charles
+. willard and J. c. Mars. who VIII
make the flights. The exhibitions
which these niers will give will IN
clude flights around the course against
time, trials for endurance and height,
accurate and quick starting and land
ing tests, and attempts at slow lying
and gliding. willard operated the
i,,cf 4, or,a1 vrorhjrn when II won the
Scientific American trophy, and ais"
when it won several events at the in
ternationaf aviation meet which was
held in Los Angeles last January.
The people Of Sioux City are taking
an intense interest in the coming meet
and there isn't any doubt that, II
pleasant weather shall prevail, the
beauty and chivalry' Of the old town
will have the time of their lives.
But interest in the aviation meet is
not confined to Sioux City-it extends
to the limits of sioux City's trade ter
ritory, and even beyond the limits.
The prediction is freely made that the
crowds which will come to Sioux City
that week will be unprecedented in
size.
A band concert will be given at
Woodland every afternoon of the
meet, and a further attraction to the
thousands of visitors to the city will
be afforded by the Western league
baseball games. SO hat there shall
be no conflict with the meet, the
games, which originally were sched-
uled to be played in the afternoon,
will be played in the morning at Miz-
Zou park.

of a front room owe the cellar. He
rushed into the cellar and extin-
guished the fire, and then discovered
the nude body of a woman there. The
woman's arms were partly burned off
and the body was badly charred.
It Is said hat Mrs. Schultz was
worth 100000, and that she kept a
large sum in her house.
