In Beggs, Okla, is dead and Edward
Bright, son of a real estate man of
the same place, will die as the result of
mistaking a quart of nitro -glycerine
were hunting today when they discov-
cred the can of explosive under a
boulder. They placed it on top of the
rock and one of them fired into it
from a small caliber rifle. Henderson
was so badly mangled by the result
ing explosion that he died within an
hour. Bright's body was cut in more
than a hundred places by particles of
the can and of the rock on which 1t
stood. He crawled to a farm house a
mile and a half away and told of the
accident. There Is no hope for his re-
covery. The accident occurred in the
oil fields and the nitroglycerine had
been hidden by we'll shooters when
they quit work last night.
Ida M. Tarbell, the original foe of
the Standard Oil, will become multi
millionaire as a result of the decision
against the trust rendered by the
United States supreme court, declared
a Chicago banker a few days ago.
Miss Tarbelrs father was the sole
owner of the Pennsylvania Oil COM
pany, one of the original companies
which the Standard took over and
SO-~
heir of her father, she is constituent
part of the trust, according to the de-
cision. The great coup of Rockefeller
declared the banker, would be for him
to make Miss Tarbell a director in ev-
cry company in which the oil COM
pany is interested. He could do 1t,
too, now that she is stockholder
without the shadow of her consent
She Is a Standard Oil millionaire now

of it." he said. Miss Tarbell wrote a
series of inflammatory articles against
the trust in a leading magazine sew
eral years ago.
Although President Taft does not
expect to get away from Washington
before July /, Maj. A. w. Butts, his
personal aide, is now at Beverly, Mass,
inspecting the presidents summer
home, the Peabody cottage, which ne
is to occupy this year for the first
time. Mrs. Taft will remain in Wash
ington for a month at least on the
advice of her physicians in order to
secure a complete rest, but will go to
Beverly before the president. The
proposition to establish a summer
white house on Lake Minnetonke,
Mimi, near Minneapolis, was received
with favor today by President Taft.
Representative Nye of Minnesota told
Mr.. Taft he would introduce in con-
gress a bill appropriating money for a
summer home there. The president
said that while this summers plans
had been made, he would be glad to
occupy a Minnesota summer white
house next wear If congress and the
people of that state would provide
such a place.
7 am here today begging Republi-
cans and Democrats alike to let Ari-
zona into the Union, and to do 1t
now" said Ralph Cameron, delegate
from Arizona, in last Saturdays de-
bate in the house on the statehood
resolution. Mr.. Cameron said he had
warned the people of Arizona against
the incorporation in their constitution
of features that would meet the disap-
proval Of the president, such as the
recall Of judges. He recommended the
plan proposed by the Republican
members of the committee on terrific
ries, which provides for the immedi-
ate approval Of New Mexico's constitu-
tion and the submission to the people
of Arizona of the question of striking
out the recall feature. Representative
Olmstead of Pennsylvania, Republi-
can, who took similar position, today
gave new impetus to the Clark pres
idential boom. Mr.. Olmstead referred
to q newspaper report that three
fourths of the Democratic members OF
the house favored Gov. woodrow Will
son for the presidency. Il do not agree
with that" said Mr.. Olmstead. Il be-
lieve that four fifths Of you on that
side favor the nomination OF the
speaker Of this house, Champ Clark.
But l believe that If we are to nave
a Democratic nresident next time.
which God forbid, four-fifths of the
members on this side of the house
would rather see Champ Clark occupy
that high position" ----1-l-
Unless the senate agrees to vote
on the farmers free list bill, already
passed by the house, or the bill to
cut the woolen duties in half, which
will soon be reported and passed,
writes the Washington correspondent
Of the Columbia State, congress will
be in session all summer This Is the
view of Senator Burton of Ohio as
expressed today. AS the senate does
not at this time seem at all disposed
even to consider much less vote on the
farmers free list bill it Is conceded
that the chances for an early get-a-
way are not bright. THE managers
of the majority party in the house de-
mand that we do something with tneLr
political bills as price for the recess"
was the explanation made today by
Senator Burton, who has been active
in endeavoring to bring about recess
agreement. They are determined, in
other words. that we shall do some
thing over at this end of the capitol
which will give them subject matter
for political medicine making when
they go home for the recess. If they
can't have something to talk about
when they go home for the recess they

insist on staying here right through
the summer. l have been hoping
for a recess to run from July l to Oc-
tober l, as has been talked of, and /
thought up to the last day or two,
that this might be agreed upon. But,
of course, If the house refuses to en-
ter into any agreement there will be
no recess"
