DEAD BESIDE CHILD

mystery the police feared they would
encounter.
Mrs Peterson had fastened a screw
over the door leading to the hallway for
the purpose of preventing it from being
opened from the outside. She, left the
front windows raised, however. with the
screens down, and hundreds of pedes-
trians had passed within a few feet of
the dead body and the baby.
When Policeman Evans climbed through
the front window into the death chamber
and saw the badly dscolored body of the
woman on the bed and the child in the
crib near her. his first thought was that
a murder had been committed, but when
he saw there was still life In the baby he
concluded otherwise. Turning toward the
window. he shouted to those outside to
summon an ambulance. No time was
lost in getting the baby to the Casualty
Hospital.
Preston Forrest, the janitor, said the
apartment had been rented In October by
the woman's husband. He was there only
a short while, however. and he had not
seen him since before Christmas. For
rest said that Mrs. Peterson's child had
frequently played with his child and that
Mrs. Peterson and his wife were always
friendly.
Her Rent in Arrears
The janitor said that the woman had
not paid her rent for two months. She
had expected to get her appointment
soon. she said, and she would then settle
the bill 1t is said that her failure to get
the government position had a very de-
pressing effect upon her.
Many statements the woman Is said to
have made to the jantor and others
about herself Inspector Boardman says,
resulted from the disordered condition of
her mind and were not based on facts.
Policemen who made an examination OF
the room think the child had not left the
crib after her mother took the poison. 1t
is thought the child had been without
food SO long before the mother took the
acid that she was probably not able to
move about the room.
Mrs. Peterson had told the janitor thai
she was heir to considerable property,
but that 1t had been tied up in court be-
cause trouble about its division had been
encountered. She said very little to the
janitor about her relatives, although she
had frequently spoken of a brother who
is a dentist
The day before the woman was last
seen alive. 1t is stated, she called to see
the owner of the apartment to explain
why she had been una BILE to pay her rent.
She suggested that she would seek a
smaller and cheaper apartment. In her
room the police found SO cents.

PASSES BY s. TO 8
Statehood Bill Minus Recall
Gets by Senate.
BARS REBUKE TO TAFT
Precludes Attempt by House to Pass
1t Over His Veto.

The Senate passed the amended state
hood bin yesterday afternoon, after 4
lengthy debate, IN which the measure
and the administration were roundly
criticised. The vote was IS TO s in favor
of the passage. The bill passed was the
same as the Flood bill. which the Presi-
dent vetoed, except that the substitute
bill provides that the people of Arizona
must strike from their constitution tho
provision for the recall OF the judiciary
The action by the Senate put at res,
any possibility of an attempt TO pass the
original bin over the Presidents veto.
The House democrats wished to learn
what action the Senate would take, be-
fore passing the bill In the House. Had
the Senate turned the measure down. or
had II become apparent that II could not
pass the Senate at this session an at
tempt would have been made, probably.
to overrule the Presidents veto in the
House.
Notwithstanding many objections 10 the
bill, all of the democrats voted for IL
except Senators Bailey of Texas and
Pomerene of Ohio. The republicans who
voted against I were Senators Bourne of
Oregon, Brandegee of Connecticut, Bris-
tow of Kansas Clapp OF Minnesota. Cum
minis of Iowa and Hepburn of Idaho.
Taft and Hitchcock Scored.
During the debate Attorney General
Wickersham. Secretary Stimson, Post
master General Hitchcock and Secretary
Nagel were in the Senate chamber. The
Postmaster General listened with a smile
to an arraignment OF the President and
himself by Senator Reed of Missouri for
activity IN Arizona to prevent the eiec-
- At
a progressive constitution and the recall
Of the judiciary.
Senator Reed read the following tele-
gram concerning Mr.. Hitchcock's alleged
political activity in Arizona:

and insinuations made concerning pro-
jected federal buildings.

Tents Slow to Arrive
The boys were delayed somewhat IN
putting up their tents yesterday after
noon. Everything had been figured out
right, but at the last moment some trou-
bie on the railroad delayed the baggage
for long time. All hands got to work
as fast as possible when the stuff did ar
rive. and company after company got Its
conical tents in the accurate lines laid
down in the little blue books which all
military men use as bibles. The second
regiment was claiming the prize for fast
work in making camp last night.
There is nothing that strikes q recruit
so hard as the driving of tent pegs and
the digging of a ditch around the tents
on the first day In camp. The long train
journey and the carrying Of blanket
roll is nothing compared 10 the unaccus-
toned work with pick and shovel. Some
of the captains let the men go without
bitches last night, As there was no sign of
rain In the sky.
According 10 the program there should
have been dress parade by the first
separate battalion last night, but owing
10 tne CelaE OF lHe baggage ana tenldSe,
that had 10 be left for another afternoon.
The parade grounds were covered with
elegant weeds, too. and that would have
been considerable of drawback.
The first touch of ceremony was given
Camp Ordway last night when a splendid
American flag was run up to the head of
the staff in front OF brigade headquar-
ters. The honor Of raising the flag went
to SePgt. Cliff Lanham, who has been
Gen. Harries' mounted orderly for sew
eral years, and who is the only man in
camp with a cavalry cord on his hat.
Stop to Salute Flag.
The colors went up at retreat" strange
as II may seem. The 1st Infantry band
marched up the slope on which the brig
ade officers are quartered and stood
there waiting for the proper moment. Of
fcers stood at attention. and at the first
notes OF The Star Spangled Banner" the
red. white and blue climbed slowly up.
ward
Men were working hard all ever the big
camp site. but they stopped short to
await the finish. Then when the flag
had reached the top and was sailing
stifffy in a smart breeze, officers and men
touched their hats in salute. Camp Ord
way was formally tablished.
A few minutes later, the flag was
hauled down again for the day. and a
boom" from one OF the guns of the field
artillery announced that this is a mill
tary camp with al the hab.liments of
military life. EG

John Burns, who led the last great

Language Too Ambiguous.

'The truth is," the President asserted.
that the language of the act is so am
biguous and possibly all-embracing that
it is impracticable for the Treasury De-
partment to give an exact estimate as TO
the dimnution in revenue which will fol-
low Its passage. The estimates vary all
the way from S1O,OO0,oOO to s14,O0o,oo
according to the varieties of construction
put upon the act, and this, although
when the bill was first under considera-
ton ii was publicly stated by its advo-
Gates that the reduction I'm revenue
would not exceed 81 10000
1.-The difficulty with the bill is that In
the sections above referred to Ii purports
to secure free list for the benefit of
certain class of users: but to classify
articles by their use or their suitability
for a certain use is so contrary to the
methods of classification In the existing
tariff law that Its adoption would create
the utmost confusion. The danger is
not so much that the class Of users in
whose favor the classification purports to
be made will receive more benefit than
the trainers of the law may have intend
ed, but IL is that many who do not be-
long to the class intended to be favored
will import articles suitable for the pre-
scribed use under the general terms OF
the statute, but will use them for other
and general purposes. The effect will be
to break down altogether the classitica-
ton upon which the arrangement in
many of the present tariff schedules is
based. II there Were No other reason

His Fortune Dwindles.

During his later days Gebhard's for
tune was reputed to have dwindled SO
much that he had to become a wine agent
in order to eke out his living. His mem
bership in the clubs. however, he always
maintained. At the time of his death
last September II was thought that Geb
hard's estate was worth about $1,000
only.
This idea was removed last May, when
the tax appraiser made his report, show
ing that the man owned property worth
at least $4,000. I1is sister Mrs. Mary
Isabel Nelson. mother-in-law of Reginald
Vanderbilt. was heir with Gebhard 10 the
fathers estate estimated TO be worth
about a million dollars. Mrs. Nelson Is
said to have helped her brother numerous
times in his financial stress.
In his Will he bequeathes his entire es-
tate to her and TO Isabelle Nunneweli
and Jules Blanc Nelson. his niece and

Follows Wool Reasoning.

Mr.. Taft went on to say that the same
reasons that impelled him to decline 10
sign the wool bill controlled him in this
case. He charged that the bin was SO
carelessly drawn that it would Inevitably
lead to the greatest uncertainty as to
what articles are or are not covered by
its various provisions" The bill is so
loose In its phraseology that IL would
affect hundreds of items in the existing
tariff act he avows.
AS illustrating this he said:
Take the expression in the first clause,
following the specific mention of agricul-
tural implements. all other agricultural
implements of any kind and description,
whether specifically mentioned herein or
not whether in whole or in parts includ-
ing repair parts This language Is so
sweeping that it might be made to cover
almost I50 articles used In agriculture,
which would affect many sections OF the
present tariff. and lead to the most in
furious uncertainty. Furthermore. il
would make II possible to import free
many materials now paying duty, when
roughly fashioned into the form of parts
of farm implements but actually intended
for entirely different uses"
The President makes the same point
against the bagging clause. the leather
para graph and the clause relating to barb
ed fence wire, etc.
