Persons in the vicinity Of Pine
Street Baptist Church are still talk

morning in the absence Of the pastor,

It is asserted that fumbcr Of this

Friends of the Governor declare that

nothing to do with his presence al

Harvey ]. Harding was awakened
lin his home at 1922 C street S. w.
Washington, about 1890 this morn
ing by sharp explosion downstairs.
Hurlying from his room he heard two
more explosions, and running down
into the lower hallway, saw some one
close the front door and fire in the
darkness. Three umbrellas in the hall
rack were ablaze. An investigation
showed that some one had thrown
two pigs bladders filed with power
ful explosive into the hall. The gas
was overpowering. The blaze was
extinguished after slight damage had
been done. The police believe some
person attempted to wreck the house
or stupefy the family for purposes of

SENATE TO'RAVE
L0NGER' SESSION
MI. Simmons Will Urge
That Work Start at 10
O'Clock.
FREE SUGAR FEATURE.
Mr.. Thornton of Louisiana, Issues
Statement-Says He VIII Vote
Against Free Wool.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Hoping to
hurry along the tariff bill, Senator
Simmons today will ask the Senate to
hold 10 o'clock sessions from this time
on. Senator Simmons believes that
with the sugar schedule out of the
way, more rapid progress will be
made.
Sugar occupied most of the time
yesterday. The free sugar plan was
sustained. Senator Bristow's amend
ment for gradual reduction of duties
to about ! per cent was beaten 80
to 81.
The bill thus stands with a provi-
sion for free sugar in three years.
An amendment to abolish immediate
ly the Dutch standard color test was
offered by Senator Bristow and ac-
cepted without fight.
The Senate disposed of the wines
and spirits schedule without con-
test. 1t passed over the paragraph
10 restore to S1.10 the internal reve-
nue. on brandies used to fortify sweet
wines. Theodore E. Bell is here with
delegation from California fight
ing this amendment and says he will
be able to kill it in conference.
/ Senator Thornton .iof Louisiana,
who. with Senator, Pansdell. voted
against free sugar, issued a statement
in which he said:
Believing the prosperity of the en-
tire country to be dependent on the
prosperity of its farming element, |
have always maintained that the pro-
ducts of the farm should be helped
by tariff legislation wherever it was
practicable to help them.
"In all cases where the bill impos-
ed a duty, but Canada imposed
higher duty, l voted for amendments
that would make The American duty
equal to the Canadian duty on the
same products, considering this to be
only Justice to the American farmer
81 will also vote AGAINST free wool
in the interest Of the American farm
er and sheep raiser"

FREE SUGAR CARRIES THE DAY.
Democrats Rally to the Support o
Tariff Bill And Defeats all
Amendments.

President Wilson's program for tree
supar in 1916 carried the day in the
Senate Yesterday, when Democrats
rallied to the support Of The tariff Dill,
and defeated all amendments to the
sugar schedule. With all but Sena-
tors Ransdell and Thornton, of Lou
isiana, standing firmly for the admin
istration measure, the Democrats de-
feated the Bristow amendment for a
compromise duty, the Norris amend
ment against free sugar, and the Gal
linger amendment against free maple
sugar
An amendment to abolish lmmedi-
ately the Dutch standard color test
for sug;r was adopted during the
fight. 1t was proposed by Senator
Bristow, Republican, and accepted by
Senators Simmons and Williams, the
Democratic managers of the bill. I'm
Ger its provisions the Dutch standard
against which consistent fight ha:
been waged since 1909, will be abol
ished as soon as the tariff bill becomes
law, instead of next March, as tn,

Courv this morning was that of a
Young man who had been arrested at

ing interrogated, she announced that
she was willing to drop the proceed
ings if her husband would promise to
provide for her and their offspring IN
fuu.re. The prisoner nounced his
purpose of caring for his family

is ON.
President Receives Last Instalment
of Formal Reply of Huerta to
Lind's Proposals.

Washington, Aug. 20.-As had been
suspected by man: WHO read the
papers, during the past two days, the
reports sent out to the effect that
Hucrta, now holding the reins in Mex
leo, had sent an ultimatum to the
United States demanding that this
country recognize his government dur
ing The next twcnty-four hours was
erroneous. In reading between the
lines it was easy to discern that the
haring across-rage headlines we're
uncallcd for. Papers in other cities
which received the same dispatches
placed modest headlines over them. 1t
was significant that the dispatches
abounded in the adjective unofficial"
before the word dispatches.
President Wilson this morning re-
ceived the last installmcnt of the for
NAL reply of President Huerta to the
proposals laid before him by John
Lind for mediation of the Mexican
troubles.
Soon after receiving the last of The
reply, President Wilson got in touch
with Chairman Bacon, Of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, and
arranged for conference. 1t is prob
able that this conference will be held
some tin,a today. an ,lthat other lead
ing members of the committee will be
consulted, including Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, Republican, who has
been assisting the Administration in
dcfcrring debate in the Senate on
the Mexican situation during the crit
ical period Of the negotiations.
In the meantime the State Depart
ment, through the American embassy
in Mexico City. IS making a quiet in
vcstigaton to fix the responsibility
FOR the charming press reports sent
out Of the Mexican capital Monday
night, stating that President Huerta
had given the United States until
midnight Monday to rcco, lize the
provisional government Of President
Huerta. and that Charge O'Shaugh-
messy had been given his passports
TO leave the country
IF it is found that these reports
were inspired by members Of Hucrta's s
cabinet for the effect, which they
would produce on the public of Mex
ico, and aftcrward rcpudiatcd for the
benefit of publication in the United
States and other foreign countries. it
might serve further to compIicatc
he already puzzling situation.
Secretary Of State Bryan held a
conference early this morning with
President Wilson.

HARRY THAN HELD
/. As A PRISONER
To Be Brought Before
Judge on Habeas Cor
pus Proceedings.
is SURE OF FREEDOM.
Represented by Best Lawyers in Can
ada, Who Are Adopts in Deporta-
tion Statutes.

Sherbrooke, Province Of Quebec
Aug. 20.-Harry Kendall Thaw, in
custody after his escape from Mat
teawan Asylum, today was summon
ed to appear before Judge Globensky
an the superior court, who was to pass
on Thaw's application for writ of
habeas corpus.
DR.. w. L. Shurtleff and Col. H. R.
Fraser, two of the best-known law
yers in the province, the former es-
pecially adept in the art of finding
holes in the Canadian deportation
laws, representing Thaw, applied for
the habeas corpus writ Immediately
after Thaw was remanded to Jail, and
it therefore took precedence over
either the attempted extradition OF
Thaw or the effort of the Dominion
immigration authorities to deport the
man as an undesirable
Thaw, before ne appeared today
before court, said that he based his
hope of freedom mainly on his pos
session of through ticket to Detroit.
Thaw claimed that he had Detroit
ticket when he was arrested and SAID
he would produce it in court.
'I am sure I will be freed, ne said.
"I cannot be extradited or deported,
for I have committed no crime and am
not an undesirable. ] shall go taFDe-
troit when I am free"
Should the plea for habeas corpus
writ be denied, Thaw will then face
possible deportation or extraditlon.
Should an effort at extradition be
made first and fail, the immigration
authorities could still try to bring
about his deportation under the DO
minion provision that he has been IN
a penitentiary or an insane asylum
within five years.
All those who saw Thaw today were
unanimous in saying that ne is very
nervous and apparently laoorlne uli-
der poorly hidden excitement. he
has been restlessly pacing about his
room almost constantly since his ar
rest and slept little last night.
His boastful declaration to the New
HAMPSHIRE depututy sheriff that he
was Harry K. Thaw, which in real
;tv was what brought about his ar
rest indicates the survival of the old
epotism which, his wife said the day
Of his escape, would inevitably lead
to his capture.
Men, women and children from all
the neighboring villages and from the
entire countryside flocked into Sher-
brooke today to see Thaw. When ne
made the trip to the Superior Court
he was forced to push his way through
dense crowd of the curious, many OF
whom yelled encouragement to HIM
ond cried: "Let him go free!"
The attention pleased Thaw I'M
mensely, and he bowed and smiled
his thanks.

Debate to be Brought to an
End at 6 O'Clock This
Evening.
GLASS MAKES THREAT.
Speaker Clark Says Bill, OH The
Whole, is Favorable to Agricul-
tural Interests.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The Demo-
cratic currency caucus was resumed
toN,ay, with the expectation that
the long general debate on the Adj
minstration measure will be bought
to an end abou, 6 o'clock this after
noon, and the bill may be taken up
section Ny section for amendment
tomorrow.
Chairman Glass, Of the Banking
and Currency Committee, who has
shown growing impatience because OF
the ong-winded and academic dis
cussion of the Administration cur
rency S-heme, threatened 20 end gen
eral debate yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Glass relented, however, and when ad-
iournment was taken the Democrats
were still wrangling over the bill.
When the Glass-Owen measure is
taken up for amendment the rea!
struggle between the. insurgent and
conservative wings of the party Will
be staged. The insurgents are con-
fident they will force an amendment
in behalf of the farmer, permitting
The agricultural classes to rediscount
securities backed by the staple pro-
duets of the farm.
Speaker Champ Clark came to the
rescue of the bill late yesterday, e!ab-
Grating upon the statement he issued
Sunday night Mr.. Dies, Of Texas,
was also a defender Of the measure.
The caucus chairman, Mr.. Palmer,
Of Pennsylvania, also took hand IN
the debate. the needs of the country
are such, asserted Mr.. Palmer, that
sn issue of about $200,000,OOO an
nuallv in emergency currency would
rot be amiss.
, "Aiaifa Bill" Murray, Of Oiiaho-
ma. contributed the observation that
the administration currency bill was
a fairly good measure, but he IN
sisted that the language OF the h'i
relating to the privileges of the farm
ing classes should be plain and be-
yond misinterpretation. This was
alorg he line consistently advanced
by the insurgents.
Defending the foieral reserve board
provisions. which has been attacked
by opponents of the bill, Speaker
Clark said there has never been
President, and I do Sot believe there
will ever be president, who wouln
appoint the wrong set Of men to TINS
board"
"The desire for fame is he strong
est pnssion of the human heart, per-
haps," said the Speaker. "No PresI-
dent would care to bring disgrace up
on himself by appointing the wrong
men TO a board of this kind.'
The Speaker argued that on the
whole the bill is fair to the agricu'
tural classes.
