practically upon party lines, the Sem
ate at the close Of the third session OF
the legislative day of March 8, today
passed 'he administration postal saw
ings bank bill.
OF the seventy-two votes cast, fifty
were in favor Of the bill and 22
against. All the negatives votes were
cast by Democrats. Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon was the only Democrat
who voted for the bill.
AS 1t goes to the House the bill au-
thorizes the various money order
postoffices, to accept sums of one dol
lar or more from depositors, and to
deposit these sums in the local banks,
where the money Is to remain unless
Withdrawn by the President in case Of
war or other exigency. In case Of this
withdrawal, the funds are to be in
vested in government securities, but
with the proviso that such securities
shall not draw less than IA per cent
interest. The control Of the funds is
vested in a board of trustees. COM
posed of the Postmaster General, the
Secretary of the Treasury and the At
torney General.
The aggregate balance allowed 10

In any one month. The government
Is required to pay per cent interest

Representative Kitchin thinking
that Powell was out Of humor, plac-

Kansas City, March 6.-Finding Jere

when he arrived unexpectedly at an
early hour today John P Cudahy, a
wealthy packer, and son of Michael
Cudahy, the millionaire, is alleged to
have committed an assault upon the
man, which led to his arrest for dis
turbing the peace He was released
on 800 bond
Lillis is in st. Mary's hospital. His
condition is said to be critical. Cuts,
said to have been inflicted with knife,
are on his face, legs and arms. The
cuts have been made in criss-cross
fashion. If he RECEIVERS he will be dis
figured for life, it is averred by physi-
clans.
Before cutting Lillis, Cudahy is said
to have bound him with a strong rope.
One of Cudahy's chauffeurs was pres
ent.
Neighbors heard Lillis' screams and
groaning in the Cuday home and call
ed the police.
Ten minutes later Policeman Under
wood hurried to the Cudahy home,
which is in a fashionable residence
section Of the city.
The front door was open. Stepping
into the hall he heard screams coming
from parlor. Then came groans and
cries for mercy. Underwood found
that three men were in the room
which was brilliantly lighted. Pros
trate On the floor lay Lillis, half nude
and bound with a rope. His lower
limbs were bare. His few remaining
clothes were bloody. Above him stood
Cudahy. He was in correct evening
dress, except that he wore no coat
His sleeves were rolled up. Blood was
on his hands. At his side stood his
chauffeur.
None of the men noticed Under
wood. Lillis grOaned and tugged fee.
bly, at the cords that bound him.
Don't do it, Jack. please don't do
it," he pleaded.
Rushing over to the trio, Underwood
addressed Cudahy.
What does this mean?" he uueried.
Hes ruined my home. He's ruin-
ed my home said Cudahy, turning to
the officer and making no attempt at
resistance.
After seeing that I.illis had been
started to hospital the policeman
took Cudahy to the police station. The
packer gave a cash bond and was re-
leased.
from the beginning to the end Of
the affair Mrs. Cudahy was not in evil
dence. Attempts to reach her today
proved futile. Cudahy's attorneys ad-
NIT the general facts in the case, but
are unwilling to go into details.
Since Cudahy's marriage to Miss
Edna Gown, who was a society halle
OF Omaha, on December 2S, 1899. the
family has been prominent here. On
the day of the marriage Cudahy's
father made him manager of his KAN
sas City packing interests. After a
three months honeymoon, which in
cluded trips on special trains and the
occupancy Of a palace in Italy, the
couple returned here and purchased
one Of the finest homes in the city.
The city readily received them.
The Cudahys have five children.
Lillis is bachelor Al years old. He
is manager of the Western Excha nge
Bank and prominent socially.
Often he has been seen in club
rooms in Cudahy's company.

were canned for dessert; some were
picked whole, with the stem left on;
others were preserved, and others
prepared in the devious ways and

quite good many more than the old

COACH DISAPPOINTED
IN MONMOUTH GAME
Showing of Tigers Was Very,
Very Unsatisfactory,
He Says.
NOW IT IS HARD WORK
Men Will Be Given Plenty

About the Material.
NOW IT IS HARD WORK

Coach William Hollenback's
thoughts are far from pleasant when
he recalls that the Missouri football
team defeated Monmouth Friday after
noon by score of only 9 to 0. He
had this to say of the game yesterday
afternoon.
The game was very, very unsatis.
factory from every point of view. What
are the needs of the team? Well,
primarily work and lots of it. We
may have to have whole new team;
we may make no changes at all. l
can't tell about that but l can tell
you that the Tigers will get plenty of
work from now on
Frank Thacher, captain of the Tt
gers. said yesterday that he considered
tnat the team was as far advanced as
at the same time last season. Many
: of the poor passes and the few FUN
bles made, he said, were probably due
in large part to the fact that the ball
was slippery from the perspiration
from the players hands.
All the Scores by Hackney.
All of Missouri's scores Friday were
made by Hackney-a touchdown,
goal following this, and a goal from
the field. Monmouth was never dan
erous, but put up stiff defensive
game.
Missouri's backfield worked we'll as
unit and produced good results, but
the line seemed weak, particularly on
offense. Only the good work of back
fielders prevented serious trouble sew
eral times as the outcome of poor
passes from center. Hackney and
Hall carried the ball on nearly every
play, Hackney skirting the ends and
line plunging, and Hall hitting the
line for steady gains. Klein and
Saunders also made few good adj

Hackney and Hail..
Missouri's first score was made in
the second quarter. The ball was
showed over the line in less than four
minutes after the quarter started. The
Tigers got the ball on Monmouth's
forty yard line. Hackney skirted left
end for a gain of thirty yards, then
bucked the line for an additional three
yards. Hall gained three yards over

center and Hackney then went through
the line for touchdown. He kicked
out to Mills and then scored a goal,
making the score to 0.
In the last quarter Missouri ad-
vanced the ball to the visitors thirty
five yard line, by way of the usual
Hackney-Hall combination. Hack"
then made successful forward pass
to Burress, which gained a few yards
and got the ball more nearly in front
Of the goal posts. Hackney then
dropped the ball over the posts from
the thirty-five yard line for three
points which proved to be the last Of
the scoring.
Following the drop kick the Tigers
started in to work the ball down the
field on straight line plunging, Hack
ney and Hall carrying the ball alter
nately. Another touchdown seemed
sure when the game ended.
