Another Mystery,

Richmond has perhaps a sensational
murder mystery. Mrs. jeanette
Brown, highly respected young mar
ried woman disappeared from her
home last Monday, and there is no
clue as to her whereabouts. Her hat
and umbrella was found on the bank
Of the basin of the William Byrd
Park. The basin was dragged and is
being emptied entirely in order to re-
cover the body if there, and decide
the question Of suicide or murder.
Her husband thinks she is wandering
about somewhere in demented con
dition, but the most diligent search
and inquiry has failed to bring any
information. The suicide theory is
held by many.

clared the sO-called Jackpot evil

occurrences at a meeting of Illinois
legislators in a st. Louis hotel, must
be ruled out.
Judge McSurely said he could see no

stated that the st. Louis transactions
were mere payments for votes on an

A Tentative Conference Re-
port On Railroad Bill
A SINGLE OBSTRUCTION
Length of Time Allowed
the Interstate Commerce
Commission to Pass Upon
Rates-Feature In Which
President Is Interested

Washington, June 13.-With the end
in sight. a session of the conferees
on the railroad bill was held tonight
at the home of Senator Elkins. Only
one feature of the bill remained as a
serious bar to final agreement That
related to the period OF suspension of
rate increases pending an inyetsiga-
tion by the interstate commerce COM
mission To determine their reason
ableness.
President Taft showed marked in
terest in this provision and although
tentative agreemnt was reached the
suggestion of compromise must be
submitted to him before it is placed
i'm the conference bill 1t is under
stood that Senators Elkins and Al
drich and Representative Mann will
take their tentative declaration to the
white house tomorrow
Another important feature settled
tentatively is that which prohibits
railroads from charging a higher
rate for n short than for a long haul.
The western members of the senate
expressed a fear that if the house
provision were accepted it would be
declared unconstitutional and thereby
they have urged the conferees to in
sist upon the senate amendment. The
difference is that the house provision
might be construed as delegating leg
islative authority to the commission
while the senate provision prescribes
the rule by which the commission
might make exceptions to the general
rule
The senate conference is disposed
to take the house provision and will
do SEQ il the western senators who
are looking into the legal phase Of
the measure are satisfied with it, The
stock and bond feature of the house
bill is to be eliminated and there will
be substituted a provision for the ap-
pointment of a commission To inves-
tigate the subject of federal regula-
tion of railway securities As drafted
there is no requirement that the COM
mission report 10 the next session of
congress. 1t is to explained on the
ground that no one is willing to esti-
mate how long such an investigation
would take.
Senator Newlands and Representa-
tive AdamsOn. of Georgia, the demo-
cratic conferees. were called into the
conference late today by their repub-
lican associates. This fact led to the
report that the final agreemnt had
been reached.

HAM|LTON's PERFORMANCE
New American Record For
Distance and Duration.
Mishap on His Return
Left Curtiss Holding the
Speed Record

New York. June 13.-Charles X.
Hamilton rose in his aeroplane from
Governors Island thh morning and
sped without a break eighty eight
miles to Philadelphia in a remarkable
crosse country flight. He made the trip
in l hour and 81 minutes. leaving
Governors Island at 1885. and landing
at Philadelphia at 1926. He started
back for New York again. with only
a brief intermission for food and oil
He had flown approximately 20
miles of his return journey. when a
sluggish motor drove him to descend
in swamp near South Amboy, n. j.,
at 1888 p. m. The propeller was
broken in landing. but after repairing
it Hamilton resumed his flight at $50
and landed at Governors Island at
6:39.
Thus the return trip was made in
l, hour, Sc minutes at an estimated
average of 1896 miles an hour. which
breaks the record made in the Curtiss
flight from Albany to New York
That Hamilton did not make the
return trip as easily as the outgoing
trip was due only to haste. In his
hurry to get away from Philadelphia
he neglected to clean his spark plugs.
and they fouled, the engine baked
and he was forced to come down on
the bank of the river. two miles above

Curtiss still holds the record for
speed, but Hamilton took all Ameri
can records for cross s-country distance
