The room was a wreck. Furniture
was overturned and the walls were
streaked with blood.
Lake was rushed to a hospital, where
physicians said he could not five. Ac-
cording to. his neighbors, he was a kind
father, not given to excessive drinking.

for the crime. He was abou As years

RAIN HELPS CORN
IN BURNED STATES

. Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 1S.-Further
showers were reported in parts Of Mis-
souri, and Kansas last night, but the
status of the drought, according to
reports reaching the weather bureau
here and at Topeka. and resumes of
the situation made up at railroad Of
fees are not greatly changed generally.
Great relief was experienced from
rains of Saturday and yesterday and a
temporary drop in temperature, but the
heaviest precipitation rarely passed
one and one-half inches and wide and
needy sections were only lightly
s%prinkled.
Where rains were as light as one-half
inch, the baked ground drank the wa
ter and q day or two Of hot sunshine
will leave the soil where it was before
the rain, it is said.
Relief to crops in Missouri is report
ed greater than in Kansas. From the
st. Joseph district farmers report pas
lures freshened and late corn given a
chance for, life. Southwestern Mis-
souri, received excellent rains.

BRYAN STILL HOLDS
TO LECTURE PLANS

Washington, Aug. 10. Secretary
Bryan made a formal statement today
about plans for his lecture tours.
There has not been the slightest
change in my plans and l have no
thought of abandoning 'lecturing," he
said. II expect to lecture just as 1
said I would and for the reasons that I
gave. I take 1t for granted that / will
have a chance to take vacation just
as other officials AVE and during my
vacation 1 expect to lecture as my
needs may require. The only reason
why my lecture dates have been cam
celed during the last three weeks Is
because I have felt that I should re-
main here owing to the work that the
department has at hand. But these
conditions will not continue always,
When the time comes for me to take
my vacation 1 shall utilize so much of
1t as I may find necessary for lectur-
Ing"

SUFFS; ..... "
CONDEMNS DIGGS

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator TILL
man, showing some Of the old time
vigor that won him the sobriquet Of
"Pitchfork Ben" pitched 'into woman
suffrage in a Senate speech today.
1T is a beautiful dream" said he,
that female suffrage will purify pol
itics. The vital and important thing
for us to consider Is the effect On
women themselves We had better IN
dure the evils Of corruption in poll
tics and debauchery in our govern
ment rather than bring about a con
dition which will mar the beauty and
dim the lustre of the glorious WON
anhood to which we have been accus-
toned all our lives.
we can better afford to have de-
graded and corrupt politics than de-
graded and bad women To have both
in ever-increasing degree, as was the
case in Rome, would make the world
so ~unspeakably horrible, as well as so
corrupt, that good men and women
both would disappear from the face
of the earth and civilization would
be blotted out like it was in the dark
ages after the fall of Rome.
Il am SO thoroughly a convert to
the belief hat you cannot touch pitch
without being defiled hat. / shudder
to think Of the consequences to the
womanhood of America should suf-
frage become universal, taking in both
sexes and all races. Yet the. expert
ment Is going to be tried. I fear"
Senator Tillman said the demand of
women for suffrage was growing too
fast to be stopped by "old fogies" like
himself, and hat 1t was apparent the
men would give them what they
demanded, even though 1t be to their
ultimate injury.
Il believe woman will improve poll
tiles" said he, but ultimately poll
tics will destroy her as we know her,
and love her, and when our good wom-
en- are no longer to be found and we
have lost the breed, the doom of the
republic Is near."
Senator Tillman included in his
speech a vigorous attack on the dir
vorce evil and referred to the Diggs-
Caminetu white slave cases in Cali
fornia.
IF the California men had u Gus
TOMS" he cried, "Diggs and Camtn-
ETH would not be alive now, because
they would have been shot like dogs
and the fathers of the girls they have
ruined would be acquitted almost
without the jury leaving the box. The
unWritten law is the best law to pro-
tect women's virtue that I have heard
of. The more l think about the Diggs-
Caminetti case, the more outraged l
grow at the state of morals and So
ciety which not only permits such
crimes but encourages them
The danger from suffrage,
said Senator Tillman, was Increased
by the cowardice Of public men every
where.

IN SUGAR SCHEDULE
Senator Bristow Wants It ST..
So Instead Of 81. 9o-De-
nounces Caucus System.

Washington, Aug. Ex-senator Bris-
tow opened, debate on the free sugar
schedule today by proposing q reduc-
ton from $3.50 per 100 pounds, the ex-
listing duty, to $1.611S, with additional
reductions In periods of three and six
years. which finally would bring the
rate down TO $1.27h, and would leave
the Cuban 20 per cent differential.
II do not think 1t wise at this tinie.n
said Senator Bristow, ssto disturb he
reciprocal relations we have with Cuba.
I believe the reductions can be made
With absolute safety to our sugar In
dustry and that 1t would continue to
grow and prosper. If the proposed
ruinous legislation could be defeated.
In my humble judgment, within less
than twenty years from this hour we
would be producing within our borders
every pound of sugar which the Amerf-
can people consumed" -
Senator Bristow said, he could not
find language strong enough to de-
nounce the manner in which the tariff
Pill was considered and passed on In

Washington. Aug. 19.-Abraham
Bernstein, n OF the brokers called
by the House lobby investigators, said
he contributed to q fund to be used
in advancing the arguments OF him
self and hts fellows. He showed a lack
of memory about many details con-.
corning the raising OF the money and
was subject to a long and sharp fire
of direct examination In which every
member Of the committee who was
present took part. Time after time,
however, Bernstein denied that the,
brokers ever raised more than $500,
and swore that 1t was used to pay,
attorneys to represent them before Of
hcials here and In publicity work.
Bernstefn's failure 20 remember de-
tails finally became so frequent that
almost every question OF the in
qutsitor he got a laugh from his coll
leagues, but no Information from the
witness. Bernstein denied that $500
was raised ITO defeat legislation"
Laughter Follows Reply.
Thirty five hundred dollars never
defeated legislation" he said. You
might defeat 1t with $4,000 or $50. 900.
When the laughter subsidized Bern
stein admitted he didn't know how he
could defeat legislation even with that
mount He denied he ever talked
with McDermott about legislation ex-
cept in a casual way. N
Bernstein couldn't fix the time
when Horning first came to him and
suggested they must do something to
defeat the loan shark bill. He said
Horning, Heidenheimer and he talked
about the matter frequently, but he
could not give details Of these CONVEX
sations. @'@ -.
we didn't do anything rash," he
admitted frequently. Bernstein denied
he had talked with Horning or Hell

to give the committee.

Will TELL CONSUMERS

Secretary Houston Has Plan for
Distributing Circulars When
Firms Are Convicted.
az John sNuRE.

washington, Aug. ls.-Evidences are
multiplying that the department OF
agriculture Is beginning to bear down
on the enforcement OF laws designed by
congress for the protection Of the pub
lie health, Secretary Houston has been
proceeding quietly since he took charge
OF the department, and without much
flourish OF trumpets. But there are
distinct indications he is bent on q

law, the meat inspection law and the
~insecticide act, measures all in the in

criticism for failure to enforce these
laws as strictly as the public welfare

II is believed that what he has done
thus far is only preliminary and that
II he remains In office through this adj.
fn~inistration he will have accomplished
q great deal in this regard. However,
some OF the symptoms OF desire to give
the public greater protection are inter
esting.
Not the least important Of these is
the disposition OF the department TO
take advantage more than ever of pub
Iicity as q weapon to prevent violations
Of law. AS yet. the possibilities Of it
are only siimly realized. However, the
department is going to greater lengths
than before In use of publicity as a club
over the heads OF the recalcitrant. al

the department has come up in three
cases under the insecticide act. In
these cases, the Levy Chemical COM

of agriculture followed Ii up by issuing
notice that IL had published and caused
