Donovan Defeats . Democrat.

Last week s sessions were no more
 productive of completed business than
 had been those of other weeks A few
 matters were got through, but the
 house found it necessary to waste
 much time in footless discussions, and
 the senate had very little on its calen-
 dar and was waiting for the house.
 The senate had something of a time
 with the bills for expenses of the un-
 successful contest of Frank G. Bas-
 sett of Seymour for the seat of Sen
 ator Lounsbury of the Seventeenth dis
 trict The amount for Mir. Bassett
 was SG00 and for Senator Lounsbury
 was S70O. There is statute which
 limits the expenses of these contests to S10o. but it was claimed that this did
 not refer to the expenses of the de fendant.
 At all events, Senator Donovan made
 this the occasion of one of his didtribes against the legal profession and did everything possible 10 prevent the pas sage of the resolutions. The Bassett resolution was first passed. When the Lounsbury resolution was up he doubt ed the vote, and upon Lieutenant Gov ernor Blakeslee refusing to entertain the doubt Senator Spellacy moved re- consideration in order to give Senator Donovan a chance to ask for the read ing of the statute which he insisted made such payment illegal. Recon sideration was voted down after he got the statute read.
 Donovan got even on Thursday, how ever. by moving reconsideration of the Rassett resolution. which had not been reconsidered the day before, and after
 a considerable discussion and other at
 tacks on the legal profession by him if transpired that there were other sen,
 ators who felt that the Bassett bil} was too high, especially as the con
 test had turned out to have little or no basis. Whether Senator Donovan had interviewed other senators over.

 Both houses voted on Wednesday tc hold Friday sessions, but on Thurs.
 day the senate found that it hadn't sufficient business on its calendar, and 1 the house got tired of doing nothing and decided to adjourn till this week also.

Personalities Fly ThickIy.

Senator Spellacy then introduced an the commission by the people, and an- other long debate followed, during which Senator Donovan was charac- terized by Spellacy as eloquent, per suasive and inebriate," and Donovan replied that in the future life they would occupy adjoining apartments. The Spellacy amendment was finally lost by a vote of 19 to 15, the closest vote of the day. There was short recess for lunch at 2:4o, and following 1t Senator McNeil precipitated another lively lime by offering as an amend ment to the minority bill the bill pre- pared by the special commission of ture. He said this came direct from Governor Baldwin. The opponents of the minority failed to get this tabled for printing or read by the clerk after somewhat extended personalities and lncivilities on the part of the minority bill cohorts.
 The substitute bill was lost, IS to II, after an amendment providing for the election of its commission by the peo- pie had been rejected and one cutting its salaries from $7,500 to 5000 pass ed. Senators Mahan, Platt and Spell lacy argued at length against the mi nority bill, and the last named tried for another recess on personal grounds and, failing, moved adjournment,
 
 which was lost. The minority sup porters were very confident by now, and at 5:53 the vote of 20 to 9 on their bill was announced by Clerk Blodgett. Reconsideration was moved and voted down

HAVE A UNIQUE BIRD-HoME.
Wren Builds Nest In VinewOod Park
CircIe-Swing Engine House.

In the midst of whirrine machinery,
two birds have raised family of three.
Their nest is inside of the open engine
house of the Vinewood circle swing.
1t is located just inside Of the caves.
There the home of the big dynamo and
the rattle of the great cog wheels on
the floor, and the swish of the belts do
not disturb the feathered family-of
the wren type. No. father bird and
mother bird. since the park was opened
and the swing first began to go this
season. have kept on with their daily
duties of providing for the three little
wrens.
1.-The mother bird eyed me rather
suspiciously from her nest which had
been built in the engine house before
we opened this season." said o. s.
Taylor, manager of the swing, this
afternoon. "She looked me all over
and then few away However I put
some crumbs from my lunch near the
nest and she came back, eat them and
after that seemed to think I was all
right. However she seems to know a
stranger and when a strange person
enters the house, she will quiet the lit
tie ones down until not a cheep was
heard
mo the birds didn't mind the noise
of the machinery from the first.
Seemed to think it was the natural
thing"

young man, he was not a playwright
then because he had not had a play
produced, and his name was as un-
familiar to Mrs. Fiske as it was to the
critics and -playgoers when she an
nounced that she had accepted the
play Much of the success of the com
edy which Mrs. Fiske is to present at
the Grand on Monday, June II. was due
to the suggestions made by Mrs. Fiske

and above all to her own Interpretation

play and one which presents Mrs.
Fiske at her very best albeit in line

heretofore been associated. New York

embraced in the present tour is the
only territory that can be visited by
the sprightly play. as Mrs. Fiske's ar
engagements call for other activities

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HARRY.
Mrs. Stitt and Husband Seen Together
Seemed Happy.

Winfield, Kan, June 9.-That truth is
stranger than fiction was forcibly
demonstrated here when another chap
ter in the famous Stitt-Milligan kid
mapping affair was enacted. The couple
took dinner together at a private
boarding house, and were seen on the
street walking arm in arm, in extreme
lover fashion. He held a peek-a-boo
parasol above her, and she chatted
with the gaiety of a stage sweetheart.
She declared to one of her friends to-
day that she could not live without
him.
1t will be remembered that Harry
Stitt married Mildred Milligan week
or so ago at the point of revolver
so it is alleged. She escaped to her
parents home, and a short time later
he appeared with an automobile and
two friends. and kidnapped her, forcing
her te go with him at the point of a
gun rhey went to Wellington and she
appealed to the police for protection.
They sent her home, and she imme-

night they were at the theater, but
were not together. Wednesday they
seemed to be reconciled. The next

Mcpherson, Kan, June 9.-In an al
tercation at the Methodist church of

lister of the congregation received a
blow on the right eye that called for

man of about fifty years came to In

the first he didn't exactly fall in adj

have been Stunned by many of the
members after being heard several
times.
The climax of affairs was brought
about Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The minister claimed that some sal
airy was due him and a business meet
ing was held. The Ladies' Aid Society
of the church is aiding in the payment
of the minister's salary, and in CONVEX

DYCHE HAS A FISH BOAT.
Intruders at State Fish Hatchery Are
Dumped Into Lake.

Prof. L. L. Dyche, state fish and game
warden, chuckled this morning while
he told about the new boat that has
been built and launched upon the placid
waters of the fish hatchery lake. This
boat, according to the professor, is as
hard to ride as an outlaw horse 1t
dumped the man who built it into the
lake the first time he tried to take d
cruise, and since then the pleasures of
boating around Pratt have reduced 10
the minimum.
The professor objects to boating par
ties on his lake when the fish are
spawning but strangers who come
there always took the old tub that was
fastened at the landing and padded
around the lake until they got tired OF
the sport If the oars were hid The
visitors did not let that dismay them
they used a board for a. paddle.
A few days ago a carpenter employed
at the hatchery built a new boat along
rakish lines and painted it green
The boat builder tried his own boat
and found that it was good. He waded
out of the lake after he had rescued
his hat and looked in vain for his
glasses.
The next day two strangers wander
ed down to look over the hatchery. The
new boat tied to the wharf caught theil
eyes and they proceeded to unfaster
it and paddle off without leave or ask
ing. Twenty yards from the shore The
boat pirouetted on its leeward keel 1ikt
a ballet dancer, and dumped both pas
sengers into the water. Their hat;
foated off on the tidal wave.
When these bedraggled sailors haC
waded to shore a fish hatchery en-:
ployee came along and yelled:
Hey there. The warden don't wan
people to wade in the lake. 1t disturb!
the young fish. He don't care for boat
ing, but he won't stand for wading.
That was rubbing it in. The profes
sor laughs long and loud when he tell
the story.

WOOL TRUST.
Congressman Murdoch Takes a Hand
in Tariff Debate.

Washington, June 9.-An attack on
the Democratic wool tariff bill on the
ground that it affords protection to
the so-called worsted trust, was made
in the house late yesterday by Repre-
sentative Victor Murdoch, (Kansas.)
He attacked the 40 per cent duty on
worsted cloths which the bill contains.
declaring it meant immediate protec-
ton to the combination that controls
the worsted output
Mr.. Murdoch said the worsted trust
has SO lowered the quality of goods
that the consumer buys, thai clothing
manufacturers have been ashamed to
pass the fabrics on to the wearers."
At the same time he said, the cost of
worsted goods has been increased.
1.-The worsted trust has bv stock

not over $15,00O,00O original invest

THE BIRTHOF A CHILD

st. Louis, June 9.-When John b.
Collins, son of a wealthy realty holder,
found out today that he had married
into a family with negro blood in their
veins, an attorney was employed by
the Collins family to institute proceed
1ngs in the circuit court to have the
marriage annulled.
For four years the family of Louis P
Clamorgan has lived at 7122 Marie ave-
nue. in Glendale, in the extreme west
ern part of the city and has become
active in social circles. No one there,
until recently, suspected there was d
faint of negro blood in the Clamorgan
family.
A daughter of Clamorgan. Cora Cla-
morgan, was married to John b. Col
Inns August Is, 1910. Collins at that
time lacked a few days of being 10
years old and his wife was is. The
Clamorgans had told acquaintance
that they had descended from the
Spanish nobility and were claimants to
a vast estate, granted to their an
cestors many years ago by the Spanish
government in recognition for valiant
services rendered by some of the
earlier Clamorgans. That accounted
for the unusually dark complexion or
the beautiful Clamorgan girls, and for
their wavy hair.
There are six of the Clamorgan ch'l-
dren. Five are girls. Two now are pu-
pills in the st. Louis schools and the
SUPERINTENDENT of schools said today nc
would take steps to see that the Lew
prohibiting the education of white amt
negro pupils in the same schools was
enforced.
ChlotiIda Clamorgan is attending the
Central high school and Grace attends

The area examined comprises
nearly 5000 square miles of

The earliest settlers and pros
