VESSEL DRIFTED AWAY
No Hope for the Officers and Marines
Who Went Down on the French
Submarine PluviOse.

London, May 27.-The French sub
marine Pluviose. with her crew If
twenty-seven dead, is today a vagrant
in the underwriters of the English
channel. For hours the divers had
struggled to prepare the way for the
raising of the 450-ton weight when
the wounded war craft under the pres
sure of the swift lower current, took
herself free from her mud moorings
and drifted away Late this afternoon
she had not been again located.
After being struck by the cross-chan-
mel steamer Pas de Calais two miles eff
here yesterday, the submarine rose TO
the surface for a moment and then
sank to the bottom of the channel, more
than a hundred feet below the surface,
where she remained fast until released
by the action of the swift waters this
afternoon.
Up to that time every effort had
been made by the wrecking crews un-
der the direction of Admiral de la
Payrere, French minister of marine to
reach the wreck in the hope that some
OF those on board might survive. There
was however, little TO encourage THIS
hope The divers reported that the hull
OF the submarine appeared to have been
crushed but their examination was not
satisfactory, as because of the swift
current they were unable TO get a ~ood
view.

Professor Koch became distinguished
as an investigator of micro-organisms,
but probably gained most renown as
the discOVerer of the baccin of tuber-
culosis and Of cholera. He was gradu-
ated in 1866 from the University of
Goettingen, and while a practitioner
at WolIstein began his researches in
bacteriology.
1t was in 1882 that Professor Koch
first announced his discovery of the
bacilli of tuberculosis. The following
year he was sent by the German gov
eminent to India and Egypt to study
cholera, and there he discovered the
comma bacillus, the presence of which
is regarded as an infallibIe test in
diagnosing Asiatic cholera.
In 1890, at the meeting of the Inter
national Medical congress, Professor
Koch announced the discovery Of a
specific cure for tuberculosis, but while
his announcement created a sensation,
the medical profession generally did
not accept it as a fact, and subsequent
experience did not fully substantiate
the claims Of Professor Koch in this
direction.
Professor Koch received decorations
from the German and French govern
ments for his discoveries. He visited
the United States in 1905, and attended
the International tuberculosis congress
in Philadelphia

1t was rumored around the court to-
day that Secretary Ballinger was pre-
pared to invoke the law against some
of his alleged traducers.
The basis of the action is the testi-
mony alleged to have been given by
Mr. Lawler May IT, before the Bal
linger- Pinchot committee wherein Mr..
Lawler is alleged to have referred to
Mr.. Connolly and others as "despicable
scoundrels who would stoop to any
depths of degradation" He is further
alleged to have testified that "a man
named Connolly stood on the deck Of
the steamship Republic just before she
went down and lrampled down women
and children in an attempt TO get the
1ifeboat."

Senate Had Reached Voting
Stage on the Railroad Bill
When a House Provision
Was Introduced by Dixon.
SUGGESTION OF SENATOR
LAFOLLETTE ACCEPTED
Interstate Telegraph and TeIe-
phone Lines Placed Under
Supervision OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
SECTION TWELVE REVIVED

wv ASHINGTON, May 27.-At the
w last moment before reaching
the point of voting upon the railroad
bill today, the Senate took the i'm
portant step of adding an amendment
placing interstate telegraph and tele-
phone lines under the supervision of
the interstate commerce commission.
This action was followed by an effort
to restore portion Of section II,
affecting mergers, which heretofore
was voted out.
Both provisions were introduced so
suddenly as to surprise the Senate,
and the latter was considered so i'm
portant that rather than vote upon it
without more consideration the Sen
ate took adjournment until tomor-
row.
The suggestion for the inclusion Of
telegraph and telephone companies
within the control of the interstate
commerce commission was made by
Senator Dixon of Montana, but ulti-
mateIy his amendment was supplanted
by one in simpler form offered by Sen
ator LaFollette-
The Senate reached the voting stage
at o'clock after an animated debate,
which was carried on largely by the
Democratic side of the chamber and
which dealt especially with whether the
Dolliver amendment regulating the
stock and bond issues of railroads. was
in accordance with the last Democratic
platform.
1t had been supposed that action
upon the DoIliver provision would be
followed by votes upon the physical
valuation amendment offered by Mr..
LaFouette and the national incOrpOra-
ton amendment of Senator Newland.

When. therefore, Mr.. Dixon was rec
ognized TO present his telegraph amend
ment some surprise was manifested.
The amendment was in the exact Ian
guage of the telegraph provision car
ried by the House bill, and it purported
to re-enact the first section of the pres
ent interstate commerce law, with tel
egTaph AND telephone companies added.
It covered nine pages and much OBJ
lection to voting upon 1t without an
opportunity for examination was eX-
pressed. Even Mr.. Dixon himself was
unable to state whether the provision
was an exact reproduction of the pres
ent law with the additions mentioned.

BIG STORM IN MONTANA
School House in Anaconda Struck by
LiShtning-Panic Among Chill

Anaconda, Mont, May 27.-One of the
most severe electric and rain storms
in years visited Anaconda today, the
principal lightning disturbance occur
ring at the Prescott school. About 2
o'clock a bolt of lightning struck the
school, which contained about $50
young pupils, and a panic ensued. The
children in two primary grades fled
from the first floor, while those in the
two rooms on the top floor remained in
their seats under discipline, leaving
only when the fire drill signal was
given. The fire department was sum-
moned, as smoke filled several rooms,
but there was no blaze Practically
the only damage was the breaking of
several windows and the burning out
of several fuses. The principal eX-
element was due to the arrival of
anxious mothers from nearby homes.
One woman tainted and had TO be car
ried out. InnUmerable fuses about the
city were burned out. and many mar

TWO CONNOLLY LETTERS

wv ASHINGToN, May H.-With
" the attorneys on one side
scoring Secretary Ballinger as man
unfit to be at the head of the interior
department, and with the leading at
torney on the other side defending
him and denouncing his accusers,
whom ne termed the CLAWS Garfield
Pinchot group" the Ballinger-Pin-
chot investigating committee listened
to summing-up arguments by counsel
today. The arguments probably viii
be concluded tomorrow.
Attorneys Brandeis and Pepper told
the committee they had produced evil
dence which they said established that
RaIIinger was not -"vigilant" and. "reso-
lutte" in resisting the aggressiveness
of special interests and that his course
had been characterized by a lack OF
fidelity to the public interest
Attorney Vertrees' reply was that MI.
Ballinger was as much of a "conserva-
zionist" as anyone, in "a proper sense,
but he did not belong to the Pinchot
brand of thirty-third degree conserva-
tionists who have gone to seed on
conservation"
finished their speeches, but Mr.. YER
trees was hardly launched on his argu-
nent when the committee adjourned.
He will conclude tomorrow. BrandeiS
and Pepper will make short arguments
in rebuttal-
pressure" that Brandeis thought most
untitled Ballinger to carry forward the
broad policies of conservation Pepper
advanced as the reason "Ballinger
should be supplanted as secretary was
that during his regime there had been
no administration worth the name, but
a series of acts unwise in themselves
referable to no principle Of action and
the cause of embarrassment to the
President and of injury to the public"
Vertrees' Vigorous Defense.
Vertrees said Ballinger was to be
commended for the so-called Garfield
policies he had reversed and contrast
ed former Secretary Garfield with Mr..
BaIlinger. He said the former thought
he had the right to do what he was
not specifically prohibited by law
from doing, while Mr.. Ballinger always
was guided by law in his official acts
Defending Mr.. Ballinger's action in
restoring water power rights with
drawn during the last days of Gar
fields administration and in subse-
cuently re-withdrawing them, Vertrees
said Ballinger had merely carried out
the wishes of the President and that
