A MASS OF nENIAIS.

With United States Senator Thomas
p. Gore rcasserting his charge that he
had been offered a bride OF $25 900 or
$50, 900 TO influence his action in Con-
gress and with Jake |. Hamon, ac-
cused by the senator OF having offered
the bride, denying he had ever done
any such thing, the investigation OF
the Oklahoma Indian land deals by a
committee Of the national House OF
Representatives in Muskogee, Okla.
yesterday simmcred down to a mass OF
denials.
For four hours Hamon, former
chairman Of the Oklahoma republican
state committee, entered continuous
series OF denials relative to his alleged
relation with what are known as the
McMurray contracts, by which, ac-
cording to Senator Gore, SO, 900, 900, or
10 per cent. of $50, 0O0,0 to be real
lied from the sale Of Indian lands to a
New York syndicate, was to be divert
ed from the Indians in the shape OF
attorneys fees"
Hamon also answered Congressman
C. +. Creager with denial.

Mysterious Murder.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 6.-1he police
have discovered no clue to the muir
derer Of William L. Rice, member Of
the law firm on Blandin, Rice & CHM,
who was found dying from bullet
wounds last night within sight OF his
palatial home on Euclid Heights.
The police adhere to the theory that
Rice was shot by highwaymen, and
this is strengthened by the declaration
of members of his household that Rice
had no known enemy.
Two bullet wounds over the right
eve, either Of which would have proved
fatal. and a deep cash on the left hand
led to the belief that Rice was killed
while resisting the attack of two or
more assailants.
One feature which tends 10 shake
the robbery theory Is the fact that his
yaluabIes were not disturbed, This,
however, might be accounted for by
the arrival of Night Waterman Vail,
who ran toward the spot directly upon
hearing the shots. He says, however,
that he saw no one in the vicinity.
The Law Club today announced a
reward of s., goo for the arrest of the
person or persons who murdered Rice.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 6.-After a third
degree examination of John Grimes,
chauffeur in the employe of William
L. Rice, the corporation lawyer found
murdered near his home on Overlook
Road, Euclid Heights, detectives this az
ternoon declared they expect sensational
developments if they are able to lorate
a man whose name Grimes gave them.
The detectives refused to make further
statement. but it is known that they do
not attach any importance to the theory
OF highway robbery.

monoplane and landed at the parade
ground at Issy Weyman, an Ameri-
can. who started from Chalons shortly
aher Latham, in contest with him
for the Falco prize Of $1,000 had not
been heard from at the time Latham
landed.
Under orders from the War Depart
ment to report Mt the drill ground at
Issy. Lieutenants Crosnier and Josie
left Cain today in Farman bi-plane
and without stopping made 10 mile
fight to Evreux. They flew through a
dense fog which finally became so i'm
penetrable that they were forced to
alight.
The officers expected TO fly the re-
manning 50 miles this afternoon. They
will take part in the 80 mile cross
country aeroplane flight that starts to-
morrow morning
Paris, Aug. Ga 80 mile aeroplane

The Crippen Case.

London, Aug. 6.-The body foun
in the cellar OF Dr. III. III. Crippen' S
house in Hilldrop Crescent was that oil
woman, who in life was large and
robust. This much was settled today
when DR.. Pepper, a chemist of Scotland
Yard, made his report, following a
careful examinatian of the remnants OF
the body.
The report Of the chemist, however,
instead of increasing the hope that the
authorities will ever be able to identify
the body, has tended to show highly
improbable it is that the identity can
ever be proved. If it required DR.. Pep
per all this time to determine merely
the sex and probable size of the body
how do the authorities expect to show
who the dead woman was, the public is
asking.
DIR. Pepper says the body was Of a
woman about the size OF Belle Elmore,
DR.. Crippen's wife, for whose supposed
murder he is now held in Quebec.

Au,i-Ciericn.l Aroused.

Madrid. Aug g. -Anii-rlcricals we're
greatly aroused tOdry over a report
that the Catholics hal abandoned the
idea of holding gigantic meeting to
protest against the governments course
In the vatican dispute as a result OF
promises OF concessions from the gov
eminent to the church. These conces-
sions. it is said, were ordered by King
Alfonso, on the advice OF his English
relatives. with whom lac is now visiting.
They are said to have impressed the
youthful king with the gravity OF the
situation. and Of the necessity OF not
alternating the great milk OF Spanish
Catholics. II concessions have been
made an anticlerical break seems IN
eyitable. The liberals and republicans
are in no mood to witness the govern
ment's surrender ~ the church after
the apparently firm stand OF the last
few DAYS. and now that religious and
governmental liberty have been adj
vanced, they will fight before submit
ting to a retrogressive policy.
The announcement of the complete
abandonment Of the plan for a meeting
of nrotest cccasioned considerable sur
prise and is accounted for only on the
GROUND of the military movement OF
the government Of the reported conces-
sions.
II has been known for several days
that the pouring Of 10000 soldiers INTO
San Sebastian had disheartened the
leaders of the proposed demonstration,
but it had also served to infame thou
sands of the Catholics ia the Basque
provinces and a violent, even though
small, demonstration was feared.
San Sebastian, Aug. 6.-Prcparatlons
for the suppression Of expected disorders
here tomorrow are being completed to-
day, despite the fact that the proposed
demonstration 10y Catholics has been
called off. Officially the meeting OF
protest has been abandoned, but the
several thousand visitors who slipped
into San Sebastian before the governor S
prohibitive edict became operative
declare that they will engage in parade
and public meeting. Soldiers con,
tinued to pour in the city today, and
for every probable remonstrant there
will be one or more soldiers, 50 that
there will be no difficulty in checking
any disturbance, if the soldiers resort
to force. .,
1t is expected here that troops will be
scattered throughout the Biscayan tier
of provinces during the coming week.
TIL G revolutionary spirit is growing
rapidly in this part of Spain, and If a
Carlist instruction is launched, as is
now feared in many quarters, 1t will
surely be in one Of these provinces.

SHOOTS THREE MEN.

After a brief but bloody running
battle, in which three men were wound
ed, Harley May, aged 20. was shot to
death by Patrolman Jacob Gates in
Shelby. Ohio, yesterday.
May, who was a hostler, started
trouble in a Main street saloon by shoot
ing at the bartender He missed the
bartender, but shot George Cline, a
farmer, through the upper portion Of
his chest.
Going into the street May calmly re-
loaded his revolver and shot Patrolman
w. q. Shaw through the breast, inflict-
ing a possibly fatal hurt. The youth
then fled down Main street aud took
refuge in a private residence, where a
posse, led by Patrolman Gates, found
him.
May fired first, slightly wounding
Gates, but the latter, on his first shot,
pierced the young mans jugular vein
with a bullet, and the lad, clutching
his revolver, sank dying to the doorstep
and expired before he could be removed.
Cline, the first man wounded, will
probably recover, but Patrolman
Shaw's condition is extremely serious.

BRYAN CLAIMS VICTORY.

In an editorial in the Commoner,
William J. BRYAN says the recent re-
pudiation OF himself by the Nebraska
state democratic convention was really
q victory for him and for county option,
for which he stands. In part he says:
Mr.. Bryan announced himself in
favor OF an Endorsement OF county
option as the only way to break the
hold Of the liquor interests and insure
the submission OF the initiative and
referendum
AS result Of his fight the republi-
cans indorsed the initiative and re-
ierendum, thus making it certain il
will be submitted at the coming session
of the Legislature (the democrats and
populists also having indOrsed). This
is victory Of the reform f9r which he
has contended for IA years. He can
afford to be turned down on county
option If he can make sure OF the
initiative and referendum.
Governor Shallenbergcr, announced
at the convention that he would sign a
county option bill. The chances arc
largely in favor Of its passage.
In statement published in his
paper in reference to the meeting held
recently in Lincoln, H., to protest
against legislative corruption, Mr.
Bryandeclared that the democratic legis-
lators who voted to elect William Lori
mer to the United States Senate should
be read out Of the democratic party.
ANY democrat who voted for Lori
mer for patriotic reasons ought to be
retired to private life and kept there
long enough to learn what patriotism
merns, " said Mr.. Bryan. 1t is almost
as dangerous to have fool in the legis-
lature as a kDaye
"A democratic legislator who could
be convinced that he was performing a
patriotic duty in voting for Lorimel
could be persuaded to do anything de-
sired by a lObby-provided the same
patriotic argument were used. He Is
not fit for any representative position
it is hardly safe to allow him to run
at large.
Turn them Quit The party can.
not pause TO defend those who are
guilty, or who, if innocent, have
aroused suspicion which can never be
removed.

The tower is sinking, and there can be
