'CONvICTS DROWN.
Two Die When One Tries
Suicide at Sing Sing.
Youth Follows Aged Italian in
10 River In Effort TO Save.
Grasped About Neck by Suicide and
Both Are Dragged Under.

Ossining. n. Y, June 5.--One con-
Wet gave his life today in an unsuc-
eessful effort to save another from
suicide by drowning.
Each morning at Sing Sing prison
the convicts march in squads to the
wall overlooking the river to empty
their slop buckets. Today Antonio
Guaro, a morose Italian, SO years old,
hurled his. bucket far out and then
leaped after it. That suicide and not
escape was his purpose, was evident
as soon as he struck the water, for he
made every effort to sink.
Three members of the squad leaped
in after him, but the current was too
strong for two of them and they were
hauled out exhausted. Ernest Sin
clair, a youth. was the only one who
reached Gauro's side. The Italian
threw his arms about Sinclairs neck
and although the young mans fists
beat upon his face and head hung on
until both sank.
The two bodies We're recovered soon
after. with Guaros arms still entwined
about the neck of his would be res
euer.
Guaro had served several terms be-
fore. Sinclair was serving the last of
a 3-year term for abduction. Both
came from New York City.

LoRlMeR SPECIAL COMMITTEE.

Washington, June Sat todays
meeting of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections Senators Dill
ingham. Gamble. Jones and Kenyon
(Republicans), and Fletcher, John
ston, Kern and Lea CDem9erats), We're
designated as the special committee
to conduct the proposed reinvestiga-
ton into the Lorimer charges. Dill
ingham. Gamble, Fletcher and john
ston voted for Lorimer in the last
session and Jones, Kenyon, Kern and
Lea are classed as anti-Lorimer
The special committee is ready to
begin service with all the authority
Of a full committee as soon as the
Senate approves.
The committee on privileges and
elections considered first Mr.. Kenyon
motion directing the committee to
proceed with the investigation as a
While, but after brief discussion it was
rejected by vote of to 10. The
Affirmative votes were cast by Ken
yon. Clapp and Jones.
The resolution providing for the
appointment Of a subcommittee of
eight was proposed by Bailey, senior
Democratic member of the comIait-
tee, and it named Dillingham;, Gam
HE and Clapp and Sutherland, Re-
rublicars, and A1essrs. Fletcher. John
ston, Keen and Lea. This followed
the rule of seniority, except where
senators had refused to permit the
use of their names, and insofar as
ir1partiality could be answered.
Among those declining to serve on
hn Of
Bailey and Painter, Democrats, and
Hepburn. Republican. When the list
was read, Messrs. Clapp and Suther-
land voluntarily retired in favor of
Kenyon and Jones. Contending for
the rule of seniority, Bailey suggested
that Bradley and Oliver be designated.
When, however, il was pointed out
that both of those senators were in
eligible because in the previous in
quiry they voted for Lorimer, the
Texas senator yielded, and the Iowa
and Washington sen ltors were add
cd to the list.
The subcommittee adopted a reso-
luton for presentation to the Senate
tomorrow TO clothe the subcommittee
with all the powers of a special com
mittee. 1t is expected that the reso-
luton will encounter comparatively
little opposition. The sub committee
has indicated a disposition to confine
the sttings tc Washington as close

| that Illinois will be visited. The com
| mttee will be empowered to sit dur
| ing sessions of the Senate and there
will be an effort to conclude the work
during the extra session.

Washington, ID. c., June 5.-tSpe-
cial)-Hon. F. NJ. Hatch, formerly a
Judge in the territorial court of Ha-
wall. a graduate of Bowdoin College.
and very favorably known to several
prominent people in Maine, has left
Washington this week. after a six
years residence here. to resume his
residence at Honolulu. He and Sena-
tor Frye aveIbeen excellent friends
for many years, dating back before
the time when Judge Hatch was min
lister to Washington from the then
Republic of Hawaii. Judge Hatch
came here as the representative of the
Hawaiian sugar planters before Con-
gress and the departments, 1t being
easily the most desirable position at
Washington within the gift OF resi-
dents of the mid Pacific Islands. 1t
is also a position that has nearly al
ways been filled by one of the emf
nent lawyers of Honolulu.
Judge Hatch's bereavement some
months ago by the death of his wife
saddened his life here and he was de-
sirous of getting back to his old home.
His daughter accompanies him thlth-
err. A son, Gilchrist Hatch, has gone
to Annapolis, where he enters the
naval academy on an appointment by
Senator George C. Perkins of Cali
fornia, who is a native of Maine. The
Matches have lived much in Cali
fornia and were identified with many
prominent people there.
One of Names native sons. who is
making a hard pull with the Senate
these discouraging days. is Delegate
Ralph Henry Cameron of Flagtaff,
Arizona. He is Republican and
native of Southport, Maine. and wants
the Senate to hasten to the legisla-
ton that will approve of the constitu-
ton of Arizona. Such action will
probably legislate Delegate Cameron
out of job. for it is a marvel that
he. a Republican, should have ever
gotten to Congress from that Demo-
cratic territory. A Democratic repre-
sentative and two Democratic serar
tors will almost certainly come to
Congress from the new state. None
the less Mr.. Cameron wants Arizona
to become a state, as do nearly all the
people down there and consequently
he Is squirting the Senate to action.
He will probably be a Republican
candidate for United States senator

no chance of winning because of his
