 Ohio State Senate Officer

Columbus, Ohio, June 26.-Judge E. B. Kinkead will pass tomorrow upon mo- ton made today by Attorneys for Rodney J. Diegel, sergeant-at-arms of the state senate charged with abetting legislative bribery, to direct the jury to return a verdict of acquittal. The state did not rest today as promptly as expected. Ow- ing to a decision to identify in open court Senators L. R. Andrews and George K. Cetone, as two men to whom, it is alleged, bribes of s2o0 each were paid after nego- tations to that end had ben made by De- teetives Smiley and Diegle.
 The identification was made by Smiley.
 The scene was dramatic when the sen ators stood up and Smiley declared he had bribed them at a local hotel
 Defense attorneys declared 1t was a "grandstand play"
 The trial was resumed this morning with Roscoe R. Walcott, court stenog- rapher, on the stand He testified to notes of conversations of legislators with Harrison that he took over the dicta- graph in a room at the hotel. In this room legislators are alleged to have met Harrison and discussed bills and accord ing to Harrison, accepted bribes from him.

THEFT 0F $10,O0O IN BONDS CHARGED Prominent Pittsburg Real Estate Man and Clerk
 Are Arrested

Pittsburg, June 26-A. L. Pearson, an attorney and president of the Union Real ty company of this city. and Samuel Car nahan, a. clerk employed in the office of Holmes, Wardrop & Co.,, brokers. were arrested here late today charged witb the theft of bonds valued at $l0,000 be- longing to the brokerage firm.
 Pearson is a member of a prominent family. His father, Gen. A. L. Pearson, commanded the state troops here during the railroad riots in ,S77.
 Both men were committed to jail in de- fault of S120O0 ball each. It is stated that 5000 worth of bonds have been covered and the rest have been traced. Charges of larceny and receiving stolen goods were made against Pearson and Carnahan by Joseph H. Holmes, senior member of the brokerage firm. The bonds in question disappeared from the com pany's office November IS, 1908, when MT. Holmes and Mir. Wardrop were away from the city. When the two members of the firm returned the loss of the bonds was discovered. The case was put into the hands of detective agency A circu- lar describing the bonds was sent broad cast A week ago they were offered for sale in New York and the sale was al- lowed to go through.
 Today Pearson and Carnahan were con fronted by officers in the formers of- fees. Carnahan at once accused Pear son of having the bonds and both were arrested.
 According to Carnahan he found the bundle of bonds lying in the hallway out side the firms offices late in the after noon of November 13. He took them to Pearson's office and left them with Pear son, he alleges, receiving no money. When the bonds were missed by bis em- ployers, Carnahan says. he was so fright ened he did not tell anyone of his find. Pearson, he alleges, refused to talk with him about the bonds or to give them back to him.
 Pearson said tonight he had purchased the bonds from John D. Hite. He says he did not know they had been stolen and that he fully expects to be cleared.
 Just who John D. Hite" Is has not been made clear.
 Both Pearson and Carnahan were re- leased on bail tonight.

FIGHT HOOKWORMS

Greenville, June 26.-(Special.)-Dr. w. w. Perdue who visits the county on the benevolent mission of riddng the citizens of the hook worm" held his second ap- pointment in this city today. The people were here from various sections in large numbers. He said that he saw, examined and turned away upwards of 1000 people. He prescribed treatment for about 200 of that number. Evidently the citizens of Butler want to get rid of the disease. Dr. Perdue said that he had met with good crowds at the other three appointments last week.
 Yesterday afternoon between the hours of and o'clock 8 bad electrical storm, accompanied with very hard wind. visited a section of the county few miles south east of this place.

Many trees were also blown down, especially in the fields There were no houses blown down or lives lost.

CALCUTTA BUILDS ENORMOUS TANK

From Vice Consul General Charles B.
 Perry; see also Daily Consular and
 Trade Reports for July 26, 1910.
 The tank and mains for the new over head reservoir, at Tallah for the sup Calcutta have been completed and were put into operation on May 16, 1911.
 This tank is the largest of it's kind in the world. It Is a huge structure 320 feet square and 16 feet deep, and stands on a steel framework, em- bedded in 21h feet of concrete, which Is 90 feet high. It covers an area of 2 1-3 acres and the total weight as It stands today full Of water is about 72,000 tons; the water alone weighs 43,000 tons and the tank bottom 800 tons. There are 3G miles of steel joists in the vertical coiumns and bracings. and in the foundations there are 20 miles of steel joists and tiebars.
 The capacity of the tank is about 9,9O0, 1000 gallons of water, and the or dinary daily consumption of Calcutta Is estimated at 30,0O0,0c0 gallons. The tank is designed to act as balancer and to assist the pumps when they cannot send sufficient water into the mains to meet the demand In a trop- ical city like Calcutta the ere is natural ly a tremendous fluctuation between the minimum and maximum demand, varying from the rate of 71s gallons per head of the population per day at night to 75 gallons per head per day during the hours of maximum demand during the daytime, and the system of pumping direct into the mains Is not elastic enough to meet this de- mand. During the night hours, when the pumps are providing more wa ter than is required, the excess guam tity will go into the tank to act as reserve. Then, when there Is a great demand during the day and the mains cannot be kept full by the pumps the reserve supply from the tank comes into operation automatically, When the demand that the pumps cannot meet re- lapses the full pressure from the pumps into the mains automatically cuts off the flow from the tank, and this flow comes into operation again immedi- ately the pumps are not keeping the mains full.
 The mains designed to distribute this water supply throughout the city are also worthy of note. One, feet in diameter, conducts the water 30.00O feet end of Circular road, and a second feet in diameter, conducts 1t 1S,000 feet from that point via Circular road and Dhurrumtollah to the corner of Wellington Square and Wellington street. These mains are, of course, sup plemented by a network of smaller mains making direct delivery through out the various streets of the city.
 The total cost of the tank, new mains and new installation, etc, has been about $1,55o,0oo.

REFUSE PAYMENT
 FOR THE MILITIA No Authority in Code for Payment of Expenses
 to Inauguration

Montgomery, June 2s.-(Special. )-As- sistant Attorney General W. L. Martin today issued an opinion in which he held that the Mobile and Ohio railroad can not collect from the state, monies said to be due for the transportation of two companies of militia to Montgomery on the occasion of the inauguration. Ad- vice on the question was sought by Auditor Smith, who wanted to know whether or not he had any right to issue the warrants.
 The opinion calls attention to sections 9S1, SS5 and 9S9 of the code, which pro- vide that the \only expenses that can be incurred and' honored when they arc legalzed by order of the governor. are those incurred by the brigade staff, by witnesses and officers attending court martial and by militia travelling to a place of encampment, or when ordered into service of the state in the enforce ment of the law.

HOUSE PASSES TIE.
 DEFICIENCY BILL Appropriates S31,O ,O0O for Expenses - Mann and
 Fowler Have a Tilt

Washington, June 26.-The expression, applause" after the words, Jesus was born in manger John the Baptist fed on locusts and wild honey in the printec speech of Representative Fowler of Illinois, a newly elected democrat, pre- cipitated personal colloquy in the House today.
 Representative Mann of Illinois, the re- publican leader of the House, accused Mir Fowler of having inserted all the "applauses' in the advance copy of the Fowler speech. MT, Mann said he would not have noticed this but for the fact that the word applause" was inserted after the quotation cited. Representative Stone also an lllinoisan, declared he heard the speech delivered and that there had been applause at all the points n- dieated.
 The passage of an urgent deficiency ap- propriation bill for $31,00O including the payment of expenses of the special inves legations now being conducted by House committees, was practically the only busi ness transacted by the House. Except for the work of committees nothing will be done by the House until after July 4, adjournment being taken today for three days with the understanding that no business would be transacted on Thursday nor on next Monday
 MT. Mann arraigned the democrats for not practicing the economy they preached. He wanted to know why an item in the bill allowing S16,000 for furni ture, S13,0O0 worth of which Furniture he said, consisted of "typeWriters, was necessary. He accused some of the dem ocrats of asking for new typewrters sim ply because their secretaries did not hap pen to be satisfied with the old type writers on hand.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y., June 26.-The eve of the intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson found the rival oarsmen resting at their quarters along the river but eager for tomorrow's contests. The long period of training ended this aft ernoon with light work outs.
 In Pougkeepsie, however, far from the resting crews there was life enough, every train bringing enthusiastic col legians and followers of the sport.
 Cornells prowess in the past natur- ally made the Ithacaians favorites. Their clean sweep last year and year before and the fact that Cornell crews hold the record for all the events rowed on the Hudson river course, could not be overlooked and they were given first call.
 Columbia and Pennsylvania are look ed upon as formidable rivals.
