CLEAR UP FRIAR LAND CASES
House Committee Exonerates Officials
of Philippines From Charges of
IrreeuIarity.

Washington.-Complete exonerat1on
of the officers of the Philippine govern
ment of charges of Irregularities or i'm
proprieties in connection with the adj
ministration, sale or lease of lands in
the islands is combined with pointed
criticisms Of the inadequacy of the laws
to prevent monopolies in what are
known as the friar lands in both the
majority and minority reports OF the
house committee on insular affairs sub
mitted to the house Friday.
The charge made on the floor Of the
house a year ago by Representative
Martin of Colorado that the so-called
sugar trust had acquired $4,000 acres
of friar lands led to an investigation
of the entire question of the admins
tration of public as well as friar lands.
AS to the acquisition Of e. L. Poole
Of $4,000 acres of the friar lands on
behalf of Horace Havemeyer, Charles
J. WEIGH and Charles H. Senff, both
reports declare the public officials in
volved were not culpa0le, being guild
ed by the best available interpretations
of the law.

BROWN WINS OVER WOLGAST
New York Boy Has Champion Nearly
Out In Second Round Of
Gotham Bout.

New York-Before a remarkable
assemblage, 20 per cent. of whom were
men noted in American life, and who
had paid more than $4,000 to see the
contest, Knockout" Brown nearly
made himself the lightweight champion
of the world in the ring at the National
Sporting club Friday night.
Wolgast, the champion, held his title
by the sheer simplicity Of clinging to
Brown.
Once the championship was within
one punch of Browns. That was in the
second round. Brown delivered
short, shattering left-hand hook to
Wolgast's jaw. The champions knees
were sent knocking and his head
bobbed crafty. The crowd screamed
for Brown to send him to the floor, but
Wolgast chung to the left hand that
had dazed him and butted and wriggled
his way out of his predicament.
All the way Brown carried the fight
to the champion and in every respect
he repeated his Philadelphia achieve
ment. He won in ten rounds over the
champion as thoroughly as he had in
six rounds.

William Lorimer.

against the accused man during the
months of January and February by
Senators Bailey, Beverage, Borah,
Bristow, Brown, Burrows, Crawford,
Cummins, Davis, Fletcher, Gallinger,
Gamble, Hepburn, Johnson, Jones,
Owen, Paynter, Root and by Mr.. Lori
mer himself. Mr.. Cullom also spoke,
but was noncommittal as to his col
league. He defended himself and the
state of Illinois.
Efforts were made daily by friends
and foes of Mr.. Lorimer to influence
the votes of the senators for or
against him, and during the last two
weeks Mr.. Cullom received an ava
lanche Of letters and kilograms SO
large it was feared his health would
break under it.
The Lorimer fight has been one of
the most sensational in the history of
the upper house. When the commit
tee on privileges and elections re-
turned a report declaring that no evil
dences of bribery having Influenced
the legislators in The election of Mr.
Lorimer had been found, it was con-
sidered that he was amply indicated
and that his senate seat was secure.
This report was prepared by sub
committee and was the outcome Of an
exhaustive investigation both at Wash
ington and Chicago, in which the
charges of bribery at Springfield were
thoroughly gone into.

HUSBANDS AS PROPERTY.

Considerable satisfaction will be felt
by mankind generally at the argument
advanced by a married woman in a
suit involving another woman that "a
husband is property to wife and a
family, and to win him away Is moth
ing short of stealing" So 1t Is the
husband and not the wife that is the
human chattel." The admission con-
troverts the theory upheld through
generations of feminist protest against
the serfdom imposed by man on his
domestic partner through unequal mar
riage laws, says the New York Herald.
The honest confession that the con-
trary is the case has been secured at
last, but at a cost to feminine con-
sistency which may be expected to
bring it's proper rebuke from every
woman's club in the land. The fair
plaintiff to secure her own ends has
proved false to one Of the cherished
principles of her sex. But the truth
is out It IL man who is the chattel,
possession of whom is gained by the
marriage ceremony and the right, title
and interest to whom has been estab-
Iished in suits for non-support or for
abandonment during marriage as well
as in alimony proceedings afterward.
His status as matrimonial property
has, to be sure, long been a matter
of court record.

ITALIAN PRINCESS is SLAIN
Lady In Waiting to Queen Helena
Shot to Death by Baron, Who
Attempts Suicide.

Rome.-Baron Palermo, a cavalry
lieutenant, shot and killed Princess
Ciula Trigona, lady in waiting to
Queen Helena, Thursday. The baron
then attempted suicide, but was unsuc-
cessful.
The tragedy took place in the Hotel
Rebecchino, the trysting place of the
two members of the Sicilian aristoc-
racy. Some time ago Prince Trigona
realized that his wife was bestow1ng
her affection upon Baron Palermo at
clandestine meetings, and he institut-
ed legal proceedings with a view to
obtaining a judicial separation. The
courts decision was ready to be given
out, but because of the high standing
of the parties concerned, the presiding
Judge decided to attempt reconcilia-
ton.
It is said the prince was ready to
pardon his wife's unfaithfulness If she
would consent to renounce Palermo.
The princess acquiesced. On her way
to court. where the affair was to be
finally settled, she stopped at the hotel
for a last meeting with the baron.

u. S. FIGHTS COMBINE.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY FILES SUIT
AGAINST GENERAL ELECTRIC.
Involves Patent-LaW Test-Suit In
tended to Break Up lncandescent
Lamp Monopoly.

Washington.-Suit was filed In the
federal court at Cleveland Friday by
the government against the General
Electric company and "a other con-
Germs named as members of the cleo
tr1cal trust and charged with restraint
OF trade and hurtful monopoly.
Officials of the department of JUS
t1ce declare that their Investigations
OF the combination have disclosed a
situation which overshadows any
other antitrust prosecution the gov
eminent has ever undertaken, not ex-
cepting the case against the Standard
Oil company. The action against the
General Electric company is more or
less in the nature of test case, for
the courts will be called on to decide
how far the patent laws of the United
States may be construed to protect
monopolies
Investigations OF the department
have disclosed that the electrical bus
mess of the country appears to be d.
vided into seventeen or more divisions
or sections, each comprising some

is that 1t Is controlled by the COM
plete organization of these divisions.
Although it was the announced in
tention of Attorney General Wicker
sham not to begin any more antitrust
suits until the Standard Oil and the
American Tobacco cases have been
adjudicated in the United States SUI
preme court, the questions relating to
patent law are such as to bring the
case into an entirely different class.
Some of the features in the action
are substantially parallel to the stu
alton in the pending prosecution
against the so-called bath tub trust,
In which the defense has been made
that the patent laws of the United
States authorized the control of which
the government complains.
The best talent in the department
of justice has been engaged on the
electrical case, and Attorney General
Wickersham has given it personal at
tention.

ADJOURNS SINE DIE
SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS PASSED
INTO HISTORY AT NOON
SATURDAY,.
BIG SUPPLY BILLS PASSED
Canada Reciprocity Agreement Falls
of Ratification-Tariff Board Bill
Adopted-PIan to Reimburse Lori
mer for Expenses Falls.

Washington.-The Sixty-first ses-
sion of congress was adjourned at
noon Saturday, after passing all
the big appropriation measures, but
falling to ratify the Canadian recip-
rocity agreement.
All hope of securing approval Of the
reciprocity pact had faded away and
1t was displaced by definite under
standing that the president did not de-
sire the senate to take up the matter
for consideration on the last day of its
session.
With considerable bl mess to be
disposed of the president had lively
apprehension that a sufficient number
of senators might be trapped into be-
ing absent when the vote was taken to
defeat the bill.
Reciprocity aside, practically all OF
the important legislation including
supply measures, that was expected
of the session was disposed of when
the gavel fell at noon. Both houses
of congress were in session through
out the night and except for a short
recess this morning remained in con-
tinuous session until the end was
reached.
The president got his permanent
tariff commission. By one of those
unexpected changes in the situation,
the Democratic filibuster against the
bill collapsed in the senate, and after
an agreement was reached to vote on
the tariff commission bill at the I'M
usual hour of $3.50 o'clock.
During the consideration of the gen.
eral deficiency bill it was discovered
that it contained an item of $4,000
to defray the expenses of Senator Lor-
inner in defending his title to his seat
In the senate. Just as the clerk was
about to read it Lorimer himself arose.
'The next item in the bill,'' he said,
provides for my reimbursement in
defending my right to a seat in this
chamber. The expenses were heavy,
of course, and were incurred very I'M
justly. But I feel 1 cannot permit this
item to be passed upon by the senate
and therefore 1 ask that this item,
which is an amendment to the house
bill, be not agreed to-"
Commotion followed, and a demand
was made on Senator Hale Of the ap-
preparation committee for an explana-
ton. He retorted that the committee
had merely followed the custom of re-
imbursing contested election cases and
added:
ST think Mr.. Lorimer has acted wise
ly in not accepting this money. He
has acted wisely all through this case
and in a manner that has won him
friends"
Neither Senator Borah nor Senator
Clark of Arkansas was satisfied with
the explanation, and the former de-
manded to know upon what facts the
committee had based the proposed re-
endorsement.
1.-The matter was offered in commit
tee," said Senator Hale, "and put in
the bill. But if senator's have not con-
fdence in their committee, the COM
mittee is perfectly willing to accept
their censure."
This closed the incident

Here is high valetry and variety
with vengeance! A roomclerk in
an uptown palace hotel tells of pal
ace revolution that double discounts
jerked-beef mutiny in Rio Janeiro,
says the New York Press. He says:
"The Wallets and maids we get here
are far more difficult to deal with than
their masters and mistresses. Most
of them insist upon having rooms with
private baths and turn up their noses
at anything else. 1t has happened at
times that the servants rooms were
all occupied and we had to put valet
or a maid into a room with bath,
regular guest room, charging the reg
ular servant rate. The result is that
every 'gentleman's gentleman that
comes here now demands a 'bahth' as
his inalienable right"

THE YOUNG BRIDES
FIRST DISCOVERY

Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
But, alas! the young brides troubles
soon begin, when she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was lot for her money, and it was not.
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap materials which had no leavening
power. Such powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the alb
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times as much to raise cakes.
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to.
you, of cheap baking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the per-
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder-
ate in price, and always uniform and re-
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.

The coming generation, in our cities
at least, is likely to have more live
ly appreciation Of the value of fresh
air than the one that has preceded.
Within the past three years nearly
fifty cities have established open-air
schools for the benefit of tuberculous
children, says the Boston Transcript.
Providence began it and other mu-
inequalities have followed on, though
not all have developed the idea to the
same extent Boston, for instance,
might profitably carry it farther than
she has. Pawtucket, R. l., not only
has a fine open-air school, but pro-
poses to have at least one open-air
room in every school building in the
city, where delicate children can re-
ceive the tonic influence which nature
so bountifully provides.
