Honduran Loan Treaty
Stirring Up the Senate

Feeling Is running high In the Sem
ate over the Honduran loan treaty.
This treaty was recently ordered fav-
orably reported by the committee on
foreign relations. The favorable re-
port was obtained by taking sudden
action In the absence OF four of the
opponents of the measure. Senator
william Alden Smith of Michigan
was one Of the opponents Of the treaty
and he had been led to believe there
would be no meeting OF the commit
tee in his absence.
Now, It is probable that a motion
will be made to have the agreement
discussed In open Senate. Talk Of an
effort to recommit the treaty because
OF the fact snap Judgment was taken
is heard.
Opposition is felt to the principle of
the Honduran loan and to the fact
that 1t looks like a fine melon cut
ting for some Of the big bankers Of
New York; especially the house OF
Morgan.

The Senatorial battle between Repre-
sentative Ollie James and Senator
Paynter is on in earnest down in Ken

If the Senate disposes OF the direct
elections bill today, and when he

back and forth between Washington
and Kentucky for several weeks.
Senator Paynter probably will remain
In Kentucky until after the primary
election, July I. Meanwhile the forensic
struggle between the Senator and the
bulky Representative will rage with
unabated fervor in all sections Of the
State.
Senator Paynter said he considered 1t

days ago In order to assist In the

TWO MURDERERS
PAY PENALTY IN
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Frederick Gebhard and
Thomas Barnes Executed
in Sing Sing.

OSSINING, N. Y, June R.-In the
little house with the small door, at
Sing Sing prison today. Frederick Geb-
hard, wife murderer, and Thomas
Barnes, who killed a companion, were
executed today.
Barnes murdered John P. Leonard. in
Brooklyn, in February. 1910. and Geb-
hard killed Anna Luther, whom he mar
ried under the name of Otto Mueller. in
Newark, N. j., and after despoiling
her of her savings and money she got
from her family in Germany, decoyed
her to Islip, L. l., and shot her.
Is Like Fiction.
The apprehension of Gebhard rival
led any episode in the career of Sher-
lock Holmes. On October II, 1909,
rabbit hunters found the skeleton Of
a young woman lying In the woods
near Islip, L. 1. There was no fesh
on the homes, and. barring a small
bracelet and watch. no Jewelry. The
clothing, of excellent texture. bore no
marks. 1t was generally accepted
that although the woman had been
murdered, her identity would never
be discovered.
Search of the woods revealed two
sales slips for household utensils is
sued by a big Hamburg, Germany, de-
partment store. The German consul
general here cabled to Hamburg and
found the slips were for goods sold
to Anna Mueller.
Slayer Traced.
Publication of this fact brought to
the front Henry Werpupp. Of Newark.
n. J., who told the police that an Anna
Luther had married an Otto Mueller III
his home early In 1908, and that she had
disappeared in April. The police ther
traced the trunks of the Muellers from
the Hoboken piers to Long Island City,
where they found Mueller. known there
as Fred Gebhard, and his wife and fam
fly.
After his arrest he confessed he had
married the girl for the money. she had
earned as maid for a millionaire, and
that after getting the money from her
and her family, he had lured her TO 1slip
and killed her. This confession was as
terward repudiated.

brated Italian Poet.

dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
five years in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn 1t.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but Italian, Metastasio possess
ed many peculiarities OF character.
None might mention death In his pres
ence. Those who alluded TO smallpox
before him he made II point not to
see again. In all his fifty-tye years
In Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent Of S25 to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church. but never paid for II.
He took all his meals in the most mys-
FERROUS privacy. His greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but a
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color Of his coat.
Metastasio was to have been present
ed to the pope the day he died and
raved about the intended interview in
the delirium Of his last moments. Mrs.
