AFFAIRS AT
WASHINGTON
Senate Makes Beginning on
Tariff Debate, Cummins
Speaking
MEMBERS NOT
WROUGHT UP
Bryan Bitter at Criticism of
His Chautauqua
Lectures

Washington, July 2l.-A weekend of
spirited tariff fray occupied the honor
able Senate Saturday. Chairman Sim
mons stood forth in more or less routine
explanation of the Underwood bill, when
for and onehalf hours Senator Cum
Minis Of Iowa, not a member of the fl
nance committee, but prolific tariff de-
batter ever since he entered public life at
Washington, appeared in rejoinder.
Otherwise Washington had not been par
ticularIy eventful. The Mulhall testi-
mony ceased for brief season and the
lobby subcommittee rested. Tee House
was not in session and while Democrats
of the House banking and currency com
mittee are Flooding along with their
tasks, there was general quiet at the
capitol.
This was also true at the other end OF
Pennsylvania avenue. President Wilson
devoted the morning to golf and the re-
mainder OF the day to other recreations.
The number of cabinet members in town
is few.
Secretary Of State Bryan departed the
city Saturday evening, for Winona, Ind,
having talked somewhat of his lecture
plans and indicated his determination to
tell the public how much he gets at
each lecture. He is bitter because of
attending his Chautauuqua en-
terprises. Earlier in the day he appear
ed before the foreign relations COM
mittee Of the Senate.
There will be an effort this week to
give legislative business little fresh
impetus. Friends Of the administration
are hopeful of more motion in tariff pro-
The currency bill should be
well on toward a report to the House,
and it may be that at an early date mem
bers will be warned TO come back TO

The Senate did not get tremendously
wrought up over the tariff debate. al
thought Senator Cummins was emphatic
in predicting industrial disaster as the
result of the new Democratic law now

FOOLED THE DETECTIVES.
Mrs. Pankhurst Sends Them on FOOLS
Errand and Escapes.

London, July 2l.-Again Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst has succeeded in outwit-
ting the police. They thought she was
arrested Saturday night, but it proved to
be another woman impersonating Mrs.
Pankhurst.
Apparently it was a well-laid scheme
to foil the police. Late Saturday night
yelled woman left the Pankhurst fiat,
walking heavily between two friends,
who assisted her to a taxicab. Detec.
tives who had been guarding the build
ing jumped into the taxi and ordered
the driver to proceed to Scotland yard.
Before rariving there. the officers lift
ed the woman's veil and found her to be
an unknown. There was no charge
against her, and she was released.
Mrs. Pankhurst is believed to have es-
capped from the fiat while detectives were
busy with the double.

A Mystery
of India
By GROVER J. GRIFFIN

This story was told me by retired
colonel of the British army. l do not
vouch for 1t, but there are certain fea-
lures about 1t that assure me that it is
not altogether improbable.
Edgar Oldershaw, lieutenant in an
Irish regiment. went out to India with
his command He was great favor
lite with the Indian people and min
gled with them as much as II not more
than with his own countrymen. So
great was his influence upon them that
before he was twenty he was Civ
en- command of native battalion.
Oldershaw fell in love with Eura-
sian girl, the daughter of an English
woman and an Indian nabob. She had
been brought up under Indian infiu-
ences; but. being Of two races. it was
easy for her to incline TO either. New
ertheless she was more Indian than
European. One thing was certain
that she was a very handsome girl.
a fascinating creature combining Eu-
ropean manners with that peculiar
mysticism pervading all India.
Oldershaw married the girl. but
within a few weeks after the marriage
began to look pale and thin. The sur
geons of the British army could not
make out what was the matter with
him. He was a man of excellent con-
stitution. temperate In his habits. and.
so far as could be detected. each one
OF his organs was in a healthy condi-
ton. Nevertheless he seemed to be
under the influence of some disease.
Some of his European friends were
inclined to believe that his wife was
holding him under a spell. But there
was no evidence of this. Indeed. Mrs.
oldershaw seemed to be very much
attached to her husband and greatly
troubled about his condition. The only
reason that his friends had for consid-
ering her to be possible cause for
this condition was that her English
mother had died q few months after
the daughters birth. and her death |

this reason the dates have been ad-
vanced and set for an earlier show,
and with the favorable weather con-
ditions predicted, this exhibition will
surpass In every way the former
Warrenton Shows. 1t is believed the
number Of entries and the attendance
will be a matter of record Already q
number OF entries have come In and
a large number OF well known and
prominent horsemen from all over the
country will be in Warrenton tor the
event. The show grounds, which are
acknowledged second to none for
open air shows, have been put In ex-
cellent condition and every comfort
and convenience Is assured the pa
irons
1t will be recalled that the last
exhibition OF the Warrenton horse
show was accorded the best snow
Of the season" The fairness of the
decisions. the high standard OF the
entries, the number of same and the
attendance left in the mind OF the
patrons pleasant memory OF this
show; but with the same conditions
promised and the predicted atten-
dance even then It will be a hustle
ON the part Of the association to excel
the last show. 1t is. however, con-
IDENTIFY stated by the best informed
authorities that the coming Warren
ton show will be something of which
Warrenton can boast In the coming
years.
