LARGE GlRTH
is NEWLY ACQUIRED

NEW YORK. July 23.-Two por-
ters employed in Sherry's thought for
a while this morning that they had
successfully found a way to defeat
the high cost Of living. but the little
scheme was nipped In the bud by the
vigilance of the house Waterman,
Gustave Benjamin. When the pair
quit work at moor and started to
leave the premises, Benjamin observed
that they had waxed fat over night.
As neither gave satisfactory answers
10 his queries, Benjamin proceeded to
Investigate. and under the newly ac-
CURED girth OF waist he made strange
discoveries.
Distributed on the two men and
wrapped In napkins and paper were
twenty-three pounds OF butter, three
dozen. eggs. and two bottles OF olive
Oil. all snugly slowed between the two
layers OF shirt. All but the butter,
which was partly melted was in good
condition. The steward was sum-
moned. and at his request the pair
was locked up.

SENATE VOTING
on TARIFF BILL
ROLL CALL SHOWS DEMOCRATIC
LEADERS ARE IN CONTROL
OF SITUATION.

(: WASHINGTON, July 23.-voting
began today on the Underwood-Sim-
mons tariff bill, and remarkable pro-
gress was made. Twenty-Five para
graphs In the chemical schedule. the
first schedule OF the bill, were tentA-
lively agreed to. Reservations. how
ever. were made as to a number OF
paragraphs. and notice given that
amendments would be offered later
to some of these paragraphs. There
were several roll call votes. but on
every one the Democratic leaders
proved themselves to be absolutely
in control of the situation, n on
several votes they had a number of
Republican recruits.
The first vote today came on para
graph one in the chemical schedule.
1t involved the second amendment
made. the finance committee to the
house rates. The senate committee
had reduced the duty on oxalic acid
from two cents to one and one-half
cents per pound. Senator Smoot chal-
lenged this action, and demanded a
roll call on the amendment, which
was adopted by a vote OF SO to 26.
This vote disclosed some surprise.
Every Democrat voted to sustain the
finance committee, or was paired in
favor of ii. and nine Republicans also
voted against Senator Smoot. SO
satisfactory was the progress made
with the bill today that at the con-
clusion of the session the leaders of
the senate were predicting that the
vote on the measure might be taken
in the senate not later thai August
18th.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Fred Bur
ley. twenty-nine years old, was saved
from a sentence In special sessions
today, and released on parole through
an appealing letter which his wife
sent to Justices Salmon. Kernochan
and Collins. Burnley was a subscrip-
ton agent for the Home Life Publish
ing company. of Chicago, and, &C
icording to the report of Probation
ICficed Swan, the company had re-
ceived more than a. hundred COM
plants that persons who had turned
over subscription money to Buriey
had o obtained copies of the pub
lication.
Several days ago Burley's wife sent
the following letter to the court.
III you send my husband away 1t
will mean the tearing Of my heart,
a. he 10 all / have in the world, and
he is q good husband to baby and
me. / tell you, 1t breaks my heart

God to send her papa back again. She
thinks he Is sick. Spare him to me.

father or mother-nobody but him

Acting Secretary Roosevelt this after
noon closed the incident arising out
Of reports that the mayflower had
been endangered several weeks ago
by directing that the guns be not fired
again under similar circumstances.
The oficial reports received, both
from the commander of the May
flower. Lieutenant Commander Mccall
!y, and the commanding officer OF the
proving grounds, demonstrated that
the accounts of the incident at the
time were greatly exaggerated. 1t
was shown that shells were fired sew
eral miles down the river while the
Mayflower was pursuing a course
nearly parallel to the line of fire. Two
shells were fired while the Mayfower
was In sight. but neither came within
1000 yards OF the presidents yacht.
while going through the air. ana each
struck several thousand yards from
her. The band Of the one of the shells
did not. as was reported, fly off and
was pointed out that battleships at

a tow line of only 400 yards.
1t was disclosed that the young Of
fcer in charge Of the gun thought
that those on board the presidents
yacht would be much interested in
the firing and had not imagined that
any one would be at all alarmed by

Captain Metz refused aid. and Ii was
not until the dock In Charlestown was

Captain Metz said hat after the
crash he reversed his engines and i'm

The big freighter backed off and on

The schooner came out OF the fog as

standing at the wheel. and nearly
threw him into the sea. The force
of the collision was terrific.
From the steamers deck an effort
was being made TO locate the schoon-

be found. All morning Captain Metz
cruised about in the vicinity looking
for the schooner or her small boats,

several Of the ~inancier's friends. they
were overcome with establishment.
The degree of secrecy exercised by
the Carlton management can be
imagined from the fact tina A. B.
Wise, of the American Tobacco COM
pany. called at the Carlton last night
to see Mr.. Brady and was told that
he could not be seen. Another friend,
who had an appointment to meet
Mr.. Brady today, called at the hotel
and was informed that Mr.. Brady
was out.
The explanation Of the secrecy Of
the OFFICIALS of the Carlton is that
they were given strict instructions by
Louis Sherry. and other friends Of
Mr.. Brady. not to communicate the
facts to anyon There was a big
ball at the Carlton last night. and 1t
was feared that the enjoyment Of
the night might be lessened II the
dancers knew that death had come
to one of the hotels guests.
Mr.. Brady came to London to con-
sui r. lowering concerning a deal
with the Mexican Transport company,
for building a fleet of oil carriers
from Mexican and American n

Pearson Fields.
The Sun correspondent learns that
Mr.. Brady came to England against
the advice of his physicians. who said
they considered his condition too
grave to travel.
Mr.. Brady had several attacks
aboard the steamship KAISER Wilhelm
