Daughters of the Murdered Princess
Sob Out Their Grief.

Rome, March 4.-The two little
daughters of the murdered Princess
Giulia Trigonia di Santa'el sobbed
out their grief in the arms of Queen
Helena this morning. Her majesty was
greatly affected and with difficulty
controlled her emotions as she con-
soled the motherless ones and assured
them of her continued protection.

parture of the children and their faith

the body of the princess to the old
home at Palermo.
The prince had sent a letter to King
Victor Emmanuel asking that he be re-
lieved from his office as gentleman in
waiting on the queen.
The children have been Informed OF
the death of their mother but the cir
cumstances have been withheld from
them.
While this scene was being enacted
at the Quirinal the prison physicians
were making desperate efforts to save
rrincess Tri- onia'S murderer, Baron
Vincenzo Paterno. The baron's condi-
ton was worse today. He experienced
periods of delirium and of coma.

MUSICAL SOCIETY A SUCCESS.
Program Given at EIks Last Night an
Innovation.

The program given by the Musical
Art society Friday night at the ElkS
hall was varied and interesting, in
Guiding songs sacred and secular The
chorus has about thirty-five members.
The work of Mr.. Horace Whitehouse
as conductor of the chorus is all that
could be desired.
On the inside of the programs all
songs were printed, and a translation
of those sung in foreign language. This
was particularly happy circumstance,
as some of the numbers were old
songs unfamiliar to the majority of
concertgoerS who are partial to mod
ern music. These ballads and lyrics
of an early day of musical advance
ment are particularly interesting to the
student of musical history, and among
those that were sung last night were:
''Come Raggio de SOL" written in
1871: seApriI Is in NV Mistress Face
a, love song of 1894, and t'You Stole
My Love- written in 1853, remnants
of the days of madrigals, and miracle
plays.
Mr.. Hermann Springer assisted on
the program. He sang three German
songs and two negro melodies. Mr..
Springer Unpopular with Topeka audi
ences and was encored last night at
each appearance.
The members of the chorus are:
Miss Jennie Blinn, Miss 3. Beatrice
Burge. Mrs. c. B. Burge. Miss Birdie

STATEHOOD FAILS.
Senate Refuses to Admit Arizona With
New Mexico.

Washington, March 4.-Considera-
ton of immediate statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona held UP the bust
ness of the senate for two hours today
and threatened to defeat several big
under consideration the resolution
formally approving the New Mexico
legislation. Senator Owen insisting
the Arizona constitution which only
reached Washington yesterday should
be approved at the same time, held
the floor until the senate leaders
agreed to couple Arizona with New
Mexico. After the two propositions
had been coupled, however, the senate
voted down the resolution.
1t was asserted later that this does
not mean that New Mexico can not
be admitted by action of the president.
Mr.. owen based his fight on the as
sumption that President Taft might
disapprove the Arizona constitution
because of the provision of the recall
of the judicial officers.
In the main the vote for the reso-
luton was cast by Democrats and that
against it by Republicans, but there

hands OF Senator Hale for presenta-
ton to the senate. At o'clock Mr..
Hale was busily engaged in confer
ences pertaining to appropriation
bills, and up to that time had not
made his report on the apportionment
measure.
In the meantime, opposition to the
house basis of apportionment had
arisen in the senate and several sena-
tors privately expressed themselves as
opposed to. action during the present
session. Among them was Senator
Root, who took the position that the
house membership should not be in
creased.
The opposition was so decided as to
render it impossible for the bill to get
through.

END OF SESSION.
(continued flom Page onel

Continued from Page One.)
Cannon repeatedly ordered the ser
geant-at-arms to drive members back
into their seats. Democrats clamored
for recognition they claimed was de-
MED them and the Republican leaders
adopted every possible expedient to
head off the filibuster.
The deficiency appropriation bill
was saved by a parliamentary move
unexpected by the Fitzgerald forces.
Chairman Tawney of the appropria-
tions committee was recognized by
Speaker Cannon between the first and
second calls of the roll on one of the
Democratic motions. Through this
means he had the conference report
up for consid eration before the Demo-
Gratis could head it off and the defeat
of the bill by the time limit was
avoided.
AS the hour for adjournment APP
peared, his inability to get favorable
vote on the bill became more appar-
ent and Mr. Payne asked the friends
of the tariff board measure to join
him in vacating the sc-called gag reSO-
luton and the bill was formally elm
mated from consideration. At 11:45

back half an hour to permit DISPOSE

PEARY WINS AT LAST.
Bill Is Passed Recognizing His North
Pole Achievement.

Washington, March The plans of
the friends of Captain Robert e.
Peary to secure congressional recog-
milton of his polar achievements pro-
crossed rapidly when the house, by a
vote of 154 to "a passed an amended
senate bill according him honors
The original senate bill authorized
the president to appoint Peary rear
, admiral in the navy, to be carried as
an additional number in grade and to
place him upon the retired list at the
highest pay in the grade. The house
amended this so as to authorize the
president to place him on the retired
list of the corps of civil engineers
with the rank of rear admiral to date
from April 6, 1909. and so as to tender
the thanks of congress for his Arctic
explorations resulting N reaching the
North pole.''
When the measure was brought up
Mr.. Macon (Ark-) demanded a second
and pass the bill and made the point
of no quorum. withdrawing that. how
ever when approximately quorum
was found present.
Messrs. Dawson Ua-), Hobson
(A1a.), Roberts (Mass.), Butler (Pa.)
Alexander IN. Y.) and Mccall (Mass.)
spoke in advocacy of the bill and Mr..
Macon opposed it. The bill finally was
passed and having house amend
ments, was sent to conference.
The senate later in the evening
concurred in the house amendments
a law as soon as signed. Under this
bill Peary will be placed ION the re-
tired list of the corps of civil engin-
GERS with the rank of rear admiral to
date from April 6. 1909, with the
highest retired pay of that grade un-
der existing law
That is the date upon which Peary
attained his goal

DIX SAYS END IT.
Governor Tells Democrats 1t Is Time
TO Get Together.

New York, March A statement
from Governor John A. Dix on the
senatorial situation in which he says
that "events have demonstrated the
impossibility of his (Sheehan's) cleo
tion,'' and advising the Democratic
members. of. the Legislature to '.iTnme-
diately, proceed in the joint assembIy
to ballot as your conscience and the
will of your constituents may die
tate.'' has been received and made
public.
The statement is addressed to the
Democratic members of the legisla-
ture and in it the governor tells of
his publicly announced attitude that
he would not interfere with the legis-
lature in the choice of a senator and
how he has steadily maintained that
pose.
But he continued. ''the present
unprecedented and divided condition
of the party's councils, in regard to
the collice of a senator, are preventing
the exercise of the constitutional duty
which rests upon the legislature
He adds that he, therefore, now
feels that he may properly advise the
legislature TO end the deadlock.

a bit excited but he answered questions
in a Straightforward manner Thirty
minutes after Einstein entered the station,
the town detectives boarded a street car
and started in search of fresh evidence.
In his statement to Chief Morris Jen-
kins Einstein said he bought the coat
nearly six months ago. He claimed it
was cleaned by a tailor some time in
February and that the garment had been
on the counter in his store since its pur-
chase. 1t was on display with other goods
when a prospective customer entered
Einstein's place Friday noon and looked
at the coat. He noticed the blood
splotches and Einstein offered to have
them removed After the visitor left the
store, the blood spots bothered his mind
and he told the police Einstein was call
ed to the police station and make ex
plantations. He tried the coat. 1t
didn't fit Then the police looked sheep
ish and were willing to stake their job
on their ability to find some more clues.
No new informa ton had reached the
station this afternoon and the force is
spending its odd time hunting evidence.

UNCLE JoE's vALEDIcToRY.
The Speaker Recalls His First Intro
duction 70 the Chair


Washington, March 4.-The yaledic-
tory of Speaker Cannon in laying down
the gsvel after his eventful term in
the speak ership, referred to his selec-
ton eight years ago after nearly 80
years service in the house. He re-
called when he first marched down the
aisle to become speaker when the
present Senator John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi introduced him.
From that time to this said Mr..
Cannon, 81 have never forgotten that
my duty to the house was to obey its
will and enforce its rules and preside
with courtesy and impartiality-
Suggesting that all legislative bodies
were controlled by a majority he pro-
phesied woe to that man or to that
minority which refused to abide by
and conform to the will of the ma
jority-
Because he said. until a new
majority is made the present majority
voices the will of all the people sub
ject. yes. to criticism, but such criti-
cism leaves with me no heart burnings
and in life, whether it be in church or
state or in legislative bodies. the SEEM
ing troubles of those clothed with
power and responsibility come not
from the majority. but from the nil
nority.

BAD WEEK FOR STOCKS.
Several Bearish Influences Have Been
at Work.

New York, March 4.-The action of
the stock market through the week
hinged largely upon the Washington
situation. Advices from the national
capitol from day to day told of the in
creasing probability of an extra session
and apprekensions as to the effect on
the market of tariff legislation, In case
it should be undertaken had depress-
ing influence.
In the early part of the week stocks
recovered a portion of the severe losses
sustained the previous Friday following
announcement of the decision of the in
terstate commerce commission against
the railroad in the freight rate case
but a sharp break on Thursday placed
many issues below last weeks low
point The possibility of supreme court
decisions in the antitrust cases next
Monday added to the uncertainty and
the unfavorable character of January
railroad reports as a whole accentuatcd
bearish sentiment.
Several large bond issues which were
floated during the week met so ready
a market as to indicate that the in
vestTnent demand for that class of Sc
curitics had not yet been satisfied
