Adoo is conducting q quiet investiga-
ton to obtain evidence to sustain his
charge that the recent sharp decline Of
United States 2 per cent bonds was
duo almost wholly to what appears
to be q campaign waged with every in
dication Of concerted action on the part
Of q number Of influential New York
City banks to cause apprehension and
uneasiness about these bonds. in or
der to help them In their efforts to
defeat the currency bill"
National Bank Examiner Starek, in
New York city for several days. has
been collecting data concerning pur-
chases and sales Of the per cent
bonds by the big banks Of New York.
with the purpose Of determining 1t il
understood. whether there have been
any unusual transactions in those So
curities. This move was induced, it 10
believed. by the attacks on tho Sec
retary for expressing tho opinion of q
probable concerted effort in New
York to depress the 2 per cents ana de-
mands for his proof. Resolutions to
investigate the situation are pending
In congress and it is thought the sec
cretary is preparing himself for the In
quiry If 1t is ordered. Starek's re-

New Hampton. Aug. 5.-Mrs. Light
hall. who rasidss on a farm south
west Of New Hampton. had a terrify-
Ing experience with q big. burly tramp.
About noon. he appeared at tho door
and demanded food. After gaining en-
trance to the house, he became eecy
officious. giving orders as to what ne
wanted to eat and how he wanted 1t
cooked. Observing that there we're no
men about tho place. he asked Mrs.
Lighthall where the phone was. and
she replied that they had none. His
manners then became intolerable. and
coming close to her, he grabbed one
Of her hands. but with the other she
grabbed the stove poker and hit him
on the head. causing the blood to flow
from long. deep cash on his temple.
Faint from tho wound. he was driven
from the house. Word was not sent
to the sheriff until twenty-four hours
later, which gave the fellow plenty OF
time to get out Of tho country on q
freight. Mrs. Lighthall was able to give
q complete description Of him. and she
told the sheriff that she feared she had
hit him SO hard that he had gone to
the woods to die.

GOVERNMENTS ACTION
CRITICIZED IN COMMONS
Questions Propoundsd 20 Sir Edward
Grey Bring Explanation and Another
Denial That Panama Canal ToIis
Question Inspired Government Action
In Declining TO Participate.

London, Aug. 6.-The question OF
British participation In the Panama
Pacific exposition In 1916 was subject
OF debate in tho house of commons this
afternoon Some criticism was expressed
.of the recent official action in this con-
ncction and the suggestion was offered
that private enterprise might supply
the impetus necessary to secure ade-
quate British representation which the
government declined to furnish.
Sir Edward Gray. secretary OF state
for foreign affairs. In a lengthy state
ment explaining tho official attitude Of
the British government in tho matter,
stoutly maintained that the decision OF
the cabinet not to participate was en-
tirely due to commercial consideration
and had nothing to do with the con-
troversy over canal tolls.
SIR Edward Grey said:
"The British government came TO
the conclusion that under tho present
circumstances 1t would not be justiHed
in asking the country to incur the
heavy expense required for participa-
ton In the exposition. This expendi-
ture was estimated .. more than 81
out of proportion with any commercial
advantages likely to result from It.
Enquiries from the commercial CEN
ters Of the United Kingdom iis,i nos
shown there was an active desire to
participate.
The conditions for participants laid
down by tho exposition authorities pre-
scribe that exhibits shall be distributed
among a series Of international pavil-
ions. thereby rendering 1t impossible to
secure an effective national display
THE question was considered md
dealt with on these grounds without
any reference to Panama canal tolls.
"The British government has done
nothing to discourage participation IN
the exhibition by the self-goVernins
British dominions"
Estimate 10 Questioned.
John O'Connor. nationalist mem
Der. questioned the estimate made by
the government AZ to the expenditure
and pointed out that Great Britain's
outlay q: Chicago was only 100000.
while at the Japanese. German and
French expositions It reached only
5000, 900.
Sir Edward Grey pleaded that condi-
tions were not tho same at San Fran
cisco and that the governments csta-
mate had been reached by Inquiries
made on the spot.
Alpheus Morton. . Scottish member,
suggested that In view of the govern
mems "disinclination 70 help the ex-
hibition." private individuals Of the
City Of London might take the matter
TN. as was the case OF the French ex-
position OF 1889.
Sir Edward Grey replied that tho
sayernment wouii not think OK <S.c!::::S
anything to discourage participation
In the exposition by private individ-
uals. He would. he said, communicate
with the board OF trade TO see X it
