Woman. With Bullet in Head.
Dead in Home.
POLICE SUSPECT MURDER
Revolver With Which Shots We're
Fired Cannot be Found and
Admirer of Woman is
Missing.

Norristown, Pa, June 29.-The body
of Mrs. Sidney W. Steiner, with a bull
let wound in her head, was found on
the floor of her home on Marshall
street by her daughter Katharine, ten
years old Death was probably instan~
taneous.
AS the revolver with which the ia
tai wound was made cannot be FOUND.
and as Charles Wayne, an admirer of
the dead woman, has not yet been To-
Gated by the police, 1t is feared by the
authorities that murder, and not sui
eide, is the secret of the tragedy.
This, coupled with the statement of
friend of Wayne, that he thought of
committing suicide, and that the friend
could have his clothing, has caused a
close search to be made for him.
While the police are endeavoring to
catch Wayne they are also figuring
on the motive for the crime They are
of the opinion that he tired of her and
when she would not give him up he
shot her in the head and ended her
life. The police say that Wayne was
engaged to marry Mrs. Steiner about
six months ago, but when the time
came for the wedding he went away.
He returned, however, in few weeks,
it is said, and renewed his attentions
to her. 1t is said that he told her that
he had an endowment policy to fall
due last week and that he received
$1,000 which he told Mrs. Steiner he
deposited fn the Peoples National
bank, of Norristown.
To strengthen his assertion, Wayne
is alleged to have drawn up two
checks, one for 5000, which he made in
favor of Mrs. Steiner, and another for
s25, to the order of Mrs. Steiner's
place of business of Oliver Keisen, a
tinsmith, where son of Mrs. Steiner
is employed, and got Keisen to go to
the bank with them for the purpose of
Identification.
When they got to the bank they
were informed that Wayne had no
money on deposit 1t is believed by
the police that this so enraged Mrs.
Steiner that when Wayne next came
to the house she took him to task,
and that this resulted in Wayne shoot
ing her.
Mrs. Steiner's mother, who lives
next door, says she heard sound as
If fire cracker had exploded She
thought 1t was some person having a
premature Fourth of July celebration
and went on with her work. Now she
fears that it was the pistol shot which
resulted in the death Of her daughter.
Not long after the noise Katharine
Steiner, Mrs. Steiner's ten-year-old
daughter, entered the house and found
her mother dead.
Two state policemen have gone to
Philadelphia to visit Waynes haunts
in that city.
Captain Thomas Wilson, who has
charge of the attendants at the State
Hospital for the Insane, stated that
Wayne told him that Mrs. Steiner had
threatened to kill him and that he was
going to break 1t off with her"

MEMBERS CAU6hT MAPPING
Tangle in the Senate Results in
the Canadian Measure Going
Back to the Committee
of the Whole.

Washington, June 2S.-Quickly fol
lowing up the defeat of the Root
amendment to the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill. Senator Penrose sought TO
have the senate Ak date for taking a
vote on the measure itself.
Mr.. Penrose, who, as chairman of
the committee on finance, is chief de-
fender of the presidents Canadian
pact, asked that the senate agree to
vote on the bill July "a. The attempt
was defeated through Senator LaFol.
lette's objection.
Alter refusing to permit such an ar
rangement, the opponents of the reci-
proeity bill allowed that measure to
advance one important parliamentary
step before they realized what had
happened For a quarter of an hour
the senate was in executive session.
At its conclusion, no one being ready
to speak on the measure, and follow
ing the parliamentary custom Of that
body, Vice President Sherman an
nounced that the bill would be report
ed from the committee of the whole
to the senate.
Senate Caught Mapping.
The bill actually passed through al
the stages of being reporter to the
senate before members resdzed what
was going on. While under consider
alton in the committee of the whole
the measure could be amended, but
could not be voted upon. In the senate
1t could be brought to a final vote az
any time. Senators Nelson, Bristow,
Clapp and Bailey Joined In the protest
that arose when 1t was found what
had happened to the bill.
At first Senator Penrose objected to
having the measure reinstated in the
committee of the whole He said the
senate had shown no disposition to
hurry in it's consideration of the bill,
and had rejected his proposal for
definite time for a vote on the meas
ure. He therefore thought no backward
step should be taken.
Friends of the bill on the Demo
cratic side, led by Senators Stone and
Bacon, said the senate had evidently
been off its guard, and had permitted
the bill to be advanced unintention-
ally. Senator Penrose finally consent
ed to having 1t restored to its former
status.
The feeling that developed over this
incident was not so marked as that
which greeted Senator Penrose's at
tempt to fix time for the vote on
the bills. Insurgents objected to any
definite date for the reciprocity vote;
and the finance committee was extri-
Gated from the embarrassing position
of having the other votes determined
by an objection from Senator Smoot.
Several Democrats and insurgents
would have welcomed the fixing Of the
other two dates, 30 that the tariff bills
could be forced up to President Taft
ahead of the reciprocity bill and the
latter held back as a means of forcing
his signature to the others.
The Penrose request will be renew
ed from time to time and whenever
conditions seem favorable. Ultimately
the friends OF reciprocity may consent
to change the order. allowing the vote
on the tariff bills TO come first, but
they will not do so at present, nor in
taking this position will they consent
for one to go through without the
others.
