Chairman of Foreign Relations
Will Scan Closely All DiplO-
matte Nominations.
BAN ON CRITICS OF SOUTH
One Slipped BY the Georgian
Senator, and He Doesn't In
tend to Let Another Pass
Into the Service.
From The Tribune Bureau ]

Washington, July l9.-Augustus o. Ba-
con- Senator from Georgia and chairman
Of the Committee on Foreign Relations,
held up all of President wilson's diplo-
matte nominations pending before that
committee to-day. Even though Senator'S
Root and Lodge urged that every member
was familiar with the record and qualif-
cations of James w. Gerard and Frederic
Courtland Penhed. nominated, respec-
lively, for Ambassador 10 Germany and
Ambassador to Austria Hungary, Mr.
Bacon would not permit OF favorable
report to the Senate. And thereby hangs
a tale.
II appears that somewhere back In his
callow days Walter Hines Page, Amoas-
sador to Great Britain, wrote book, III
which, in the opinion Of Senator Bacon,
he reflected on the South. Mr.. Page is a
Southerner, having been born in North
Carolina, from which the irreverent are
prone to draw the conclusion that he
knew whereof he spoke. However his
book, in the estimation OF the Senator
from Georgia, reflected on the South. and
Mr.. Bacon is filed with remorse when
ever he recalls that the author OF
heinous calumny-or unwarranted crlu-
cism-on the Sunny Southland received
the favorable votes Of the Committee on
Foreign Relations and was confirmed by
the Senate as Ambassador TO Great Brit
ain. II never would have happened, al

WOMAN MANAGER ACCUSED
Disappeared Owing Brother-in-
Laws Estate Over SIT, 900.

According to a referees report filed In
the Supreme Court yesterday, Mrs. Anna
Z. Cawood. as committee of the estate
Of Henry Cawood. her brother-in-law'
misappropriated more than $4,000 and
now owes to the estate Sl72H. Mr.. Ca
wood died at the age OF seventy-fye In
the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane,
at Philadelphia.
George c. Lay, who was appointed as
committee for Mr.. Cawood on the re-
moval Of Mrs. Cawood, asked for a judicial
accounting, and the matter was submit
ted TO a referee. The latter's report
showed that from the income that Mrs.
Cawood drew from the estate Of her
brother-in-law she paid only for his main
terance and used the rest for her own
purposes. Because Of her failure TO pay
the taxes on real estate owned by Mr..
Cawood one OF his properties was lost
to the estate.
Mrs Cawood disappeared twelve years
ago and has not been seen or heard from
since by her relatives. although detectives
were employed 10 look for her and adver-
tisements were inserted in newspapers In
an effort TO locate her. A judgment was
obtained against Mrs. Cawood, but an ef-
fort to collect from her surety failed.

REPLY DlSAPPOINTS JAPAN
Deadlock in Toxic, but Retala-
tion Is Improbable.

Toxic, July l9.-Deep disappointment
is felt in Japan in connection with the
American reply 10 the last two japanese
notes on the subject of the Californian
alien land ownership legislation. which
does not accept any Of the Japanese con-
tentions that the bill violates the Japa-
nese-American treaty and does not offer
any suggestion for a solution Of the diff
ficulty.
The situation here has reached dead
lock. Japan has not yet decided on her
next step. but is so desrous of main
tanning friendly relations that II is not
believed she will adopt retaliatory meas
ures, such as the denunciation Of the
treaty on the ground that II is useless
or reducing the rights Of American citi-
zens in Japan.
The japanese public has been led by
the press to the belief that Washington
would afford some relief to the situa-
ton, and therefore the government 8
task has been rendered more difficult.
The public generally. however, is ab-
sorbed in the Chinese situation. reports
stating that the rebellion in Southern
China has become grave.

Summary of the Committees
Report, and Ashurst Boasts
of Arizonians.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington. July 19-Senator Simmons.
chairman OF the Finance Committee. for
mally opened the debate on the Under
wood Wilson tariff bill to-day with a
speech which was practically summary
OF the committees report He spoke for
about an hour, and was followed by SEN
ator Cummins. OF Iowa, who harassed his
Democratic colleagues by pointing out in
graphic form the extraordinary discrimi-
nation between the East and the West
and the individual states practised by the
trainers of the bill.
Senator Cummins exhibited large map
of the United States on which were set
forth in large figures the total production.
both agricultural and manufacturing, OF
each state, and the percentage Of such
total which received protection under tho
Democratic bill. He showed for instance
that 50 per cent Of the products OF New
Jersey and IS per cent of those OF North
Carolina were protected. against per
cent Of the products of Arizona. lie set
forth that 90 per cent OF the products OF
the states east OF the Mississippi River
were protected. against 80 per cent OF the
products OF the states west OF that wa
terway.
This application of figures to each, OF
their states greatly embarrassed the
Democrats. who realize the difticulues
with which they will be confronted in ex-
planning such discrimination to their con-
6tituentB

LONG DISTANCE MURDER
BLACKMA|LER'S DEVICE
Man Who Threatened Dorothy
Bamberger Invented Death
Dealing Machine.
HUMANITARIAN USES, ALSO
Explosives Set Off by Unat.
tached Electrical Apparatus
Gould Prevent Ship and
Train Collisions.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 19.-In
the presence Of electrical experts, fed.
eral officers and detectives, what was
said to be the most remarkable death
dealing machine devised in recent
years was demonstrated here to-day.
II is the invention OF w. L. Cummings
twenty-three years old. who confessed
on arrest that he had threatened TO use
II to kill Miss Dorothy Bamberger, a
wealthy girl Of social prominence, un-
less she gave him $1,000.
After the demonstration government
officials took possession OF the con-
trivance, which, il is said. can also be
utilized in saving life by preventing
train or ship collisions.
Electricians took the machine into a
steel and concrete vault in an Office
building. Another part OF the con-
trivance, on which was mounted bell
and an incandescent globe, was placed
in a closed room across hall When
the electric current Of the machine was
turned on the bell rang and the lamp
glowed on the unattached box In the
other room.
In a letter he wrote TO Miss Bam-
berger. Cummings sent a diagram Of
his invention, saying he would place
suitcase OF nitroglycerine In her room
and explode it from a distance. The
demonstration to-day, the electrical ex-
perts say, proves he could have done as
ne said.
In speaking OF his invention Cum
mings said the attachment could be In
stalled in locomotive cabs. where It
would indicate If a train ran past a
closed block signal In war, he said
mines could be exploded without wire
attachment.
The prisoner told the police he had
been induced to try extortion on Miss
Bamberger by two other men who. no
believed, were members Of New York
gang Of blackmailers.

HIS MANAGER FINDS ONLY
ONE FAULT WITH BRYAN
Not Frank Enough Sometimes
with Newspapers, Says Wag-
ner, and Lacks Humor.
tBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

London, July 19.-It is evidently the
idea of Charles L. Wagner who has
managed the Chautauqua tours OF
William j. Bryan for many years, Is
that the Secretary Of State Is not a
poor man by any means. Mr.. wagner
when asked to-day about the money
Mr.. Bryan must have made during all
these years of lecturing, refused TO say
n single word along that line, Dnt
smiled broadly and said: II have LOO
letters from Mr.. Bryan. but can't talk
on that subject" He did say. however:
81 thin. Mr.. Bryan is the finest char
acter | have ever met, and the only
criticism | could make is that he Is not
frank enough sometimes in taking
newspaper men into his confidence.
Usually these Chautauqua engage
ments are made a year ahead. and that
probably is so in his case. If he had
come out and said that he already had
these lecture dates and could not break
them II would have been all right. But
he always has been leary Of metro
politan newspapers, probably because
they never took him seriously"
Mr.. Wagner agreed quickly with the
idea that the peerless one" lacks the
saving grace OF humor TO an unfortu-
nate extent.
Mr.. Wagner is now directing John
Mccormack, who, Mr.. Wagner says,
will not sing at the Metropolitan Opera
House next year. as he can make so
much money in concert work. He has
also secured Yvette Gilbert for An
American appearance in the autumn OF
1914. Lately she has been appearing
I'm London in rccitative work with piano
and cello accompaniment with great
success.
