and bombarded houses with rocks.
Reinforced by dozen citizens. the

they were going to rescue Tom. The
citizens took steps 30 repel the attack

READY FOR TAFT TO SIGN
SENATE PASSES MEASURE WITH
OUT ROLL CALL.
Would Prohibit Interstate Shfpment
Of intoxicating Liquors Intended
for Unlawful Sale.

for Unlawful Sale.
The United States Senate Monday
By viva voce vote, passed the Webb
liquor bill already passed by the
House as substitute for the Ken
yon-Sheppard bill. The Webb bill
would prohibit shipments Of intoxi-
eating liquors from one state to an
other when intended to be received
or sold In violation Of the law Of the
state to which the shipment ls made.
Friends Of the legislation now will
seek to have the House concur in
the Senate bill. which differs from
the bill passed by the House only in
number. Should that be done the
bills will not be considered in confer
ence, but the measure passed by the
Senate will go to the President Tor
his signature.
The substitution Of the Webb bill
for the Kenyon-Shepperd bill came
at the close Of prolonged debate and
was by viva voce vote, NO r6il call
being demanded. Senator Sheppard
during the day had failed to get un-
animous consent for the substitution
OF the Webb bill for the measure OF
which he wsa q joint author.
Senator Kenyon. co-author OF the
Senate bill, closed the debate by ask
ing that the Webb blu be substituted,
as the order Of the day did not per-
NIT the voting on the Webb bill as
an Independent measure. The vote
was first upon the perfection OF the
Kenyon-sheppard bill.
BY a vote Of 81 to % the Senate
agreed to the committe amendment,
adding section to the bill, which
provided In terms that Intoxicating
liquors should become eubsect to
state laws on crossing state boun-
daries.
Senator Hitchcock's amendment to
except liquor intended for personal
use was defeated without roll call,
and one by Senator O'GoNnan ex-
cepting liquor intended for personal
and for sacramental use was likewise
Ceteated, 81 to so.
Senator Kenyon succeeded in hav-
ing his measure amended to become
operative July /, 1918. Thereupon
Senator Gallinger asked for the sub
stitution Of the Webb bill for the
Senate measure. He likewise sue
ceeded in having the title amended
so as to bring the houses In accord
except as to the number Of the bills.

THE PREHIR IS STONED In TIE
STREETS OF TOXIC
CLASHES With POLICE
Six Persons Are Killed and Sixty.
Five Are Injured as Result Of the
Riotous Demonstrations on tho
Part OF Mobs Against the Govern
ment

A dispatch from Toxic, Japan, says
six persons were killed and IS in1ur-
ed in political rioting there Monday.
! The situation Monday night was SER
ious. The Premier Of Japan, Prince
Katsura, was stoned by a mob IN
the streets. His resignation has been
| demanded BY the people. Mobs at
tackled the Office of the bureaucratic
newspapers and threatened dwellings
OF the ministers. They burned and
wrecked police stations, tram cars
and private buildings. Detach-
ments Of troops patroled the streets.
Each newspaper Office is protected by
a guard Of so soldiers, to whom ball
cartridges have been served. They
have their bayonets fixed for instant
use.
The minister OF the Imperial
household announced that martial
law would be proclaimed if there are
any further attempts at incendiar-
ism.
A mass meeting was held Monday
afternoon in Ibanya Park, in the cen
ter Of the city. The mob started
from there to attack Prince Katsura's
dwelling. Police, with drawn swords,
charged several times, woundins
many Of the demonstrators, and
drove the mob back.
The crowds reassemoled around
tie building OF the newspaper Ko2-
umin Shimbun with the intention OF
burning it. The .staff OF the news
paper offered strenuous resistance
with firearms, swords and knives
One OF the rioters was killed by
bullet fred from the building. This
only served to infuriate the mob.
which then looted shops and attack
ed Offices OF other newspapers.
In second attack on the Koku-
min Shimbua building. bundles OF
straw soaked with oil were set on
fire and thrown within. The fight
ing became, desperate. Two more
persons were killed and more than
a score wounded.
Earlier in the day great crowds
collected outside the Diet, where
strong forces Of police protected
members. Disorders began with the
throwing Of missiles at the police.
Several times throughout the morn
ing serious collisions ensued. Three
persons were killed and Is wounded
in that neighborhood. Many police
were injured by the stone throwing.
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon the Cabinet for Its res
isnation, and it is expected the Min
listers will resign before the Diet re-
assemblies, three days hence.
Marquis Saionji, the former Prem
Ter, has resigned the presidency OF
the Constitutional party, out OF re-
spect for the throne. 1t having been
<be Emperor's expressed wish that
Premier Katsura be not opposed IN
his present course.
The Constitutional party Moniay
morning resolved, practically uaani-
mously, to fight the Government to
finish.
Many resent Prince Katsura's at
tempt to break. up the opposition to
his ministry by the use OF an Imperial
rescript addressed to Marquis Salon.
II; hence the popular demand for his
RESIGNATION.

HAIR CUT BY A SQUIRREL
Rodent Barber Gets Busy on Thatch
of Sleeping Oregon Pho
tographer.

Ernest J. Bloom, a photographer
Of Hood River, Ore, who has been
passing the last two weeks at the
ranch Of r. e. Scott, secretary of the
Commercial club, returned home with
portion of his hair gone.
Mr.. Bloom had been working in the
garden and making a lawn on the
ranch. He was taking nap after
lunch when squirrel that had been
making it's home in the house this
winter, evidently thinking his long
black locks would make an excellent
lining for a nest, trimmed off por-
ton of the hair while he slept.

hairs out instead of cutting them.

Piamented Beauties.

Pierre de Trevierre, a French writ
er on fashion, heralds the unexpected
triumph of the brunettes over the
blondes, who have SO long held the
popular favor. Who, he asks, could
have .foreseen this evolution? The
blonde, alas, as gone! The style of
dressing the hair with head bands has
caused this undermining of the gold
en- locks. The meridian rays of the
Greek couture permit one to perceive
the new growth of hair which has lib
Grated itself from the corrosion of the
dye. All the augmented beauties have
now been forced to renounce their
chemical preparations. No more
shall we see these golden headbands.
Chemistry has created many varie-
ties of blondes. We have had the rud-
dy blonde of Rubens, the ferruginous
blonde, the mahogany blonde beloved
of Titan, the exquisite blonde of Tin
toretti and the blonde dear to the
artist Henner. There were hun
dred fashions of blondes, but there Is
only one fashion of brunette.

it, he suggested, with some hesitation,
that Miss Challoner had been seen
writing letter previous to taking
those fatal steps from the desk which
ended so tragically. Was this letter
to one of her lady friends, AS reported,
and was it as far from suggesting the
awful tragedy which followed, as he
had been told?
1T was a cheerful letter. Such a
one as she often wrote to her little
protegees here and there. I judge
that this was written to some girl like
that, for the person addressed was
not known to her maid, any more than
she was to me. 1t expressed an af-
fectionate interest, and it breathed
ragement-encourag and
she meditating her own death at the
moment! Impossible!i That letter
should exonerate her if nothing else
does"
When Mr.. Challoner rose to leave
the room. Mr.. Gryce showed where
his own thoughts still conferred, by
asking him the date of the correspond
ence discovered between his daughter
and her unknown admirer.

word.

CHAPTER v.-contlnued.

Does that brighten you? Are you
so affected by the thought of blood?"
Don't ask me- And put the thing
under my pillow! l thought it was so
so pretty"
Mrs Watkins" Mr.. Gryce from
that moment ignored the daughter,
did you see it there?"
Yes; but / didn't know where it
came from. had not seen my daugh-
ter stoop. l didn't know where she
got it till l read that bulletin"
Never mind that The question
agitating me is whether any stain was
left under that pillow"
Il didn't see any stain, but you can
look for yourself. The bed has been
made up, but there was no change of
linen. We expected to remain here;
/ see no good to be gained by hiding
any of the facts now"
None whatever, madam"
Come, then. Caroline, sit down
and stop crying. Mr.. Gryce believes
that your only fault was in not taking
this object at once to the desk"
Yes, that's ALL" acquiesced the de-
tectiye after a short study of the shak-
ing figure and distorted features of
the girl. you had no idea, I'm sure,
where this weapon came from or for
what it mad been used. That's evil
dent
Her shudder, as she seated herself,
was very convincing She was too
young to simulate so successfully emo
tions of this character.
I'm glad of that" she responded,
half fretfully, half gratefully, as Mr..
Gryce followed her mother into the
adjoining room. I've had a bad
enough time of 1t without being
blamed for what / didn't know and
didn't do"
Mr.. Gryce laid little stress upon
these words, but much upon the lack
of curiosity she showed in the min
ute and careful examination he now
made Of her room. There was no
stain on the pillow-cover and none on
the bureau-spread where she might
very naturally have laid the cutter
down on first coming into her room
The blade was so polished that it
must he been rubbed off some
where, either purposely or by acct
dent
They returned to where the girl still
sat, wrapped in her cloak, sobbing
still, but not so violently.
"Will-will he tell?" she whispered.
The answer came quickly, but not
in the mothers tones. Mr. Gryce's
ears had lost none of their ancient
aCuteness.
Il do not see that l should gain
much by doing so. The one discov-
cry which would link this find of yours
indissolubly with Miss Challoner's
death, have failed to make. Do you
remember the exact spot where you
stopped. Miss Watkins?"
mo, no. Somewhere near those big
chairs; / didn't have to step out of
my way; l really didn't"
Mr.. Gryce's answering smile was a
study. 1t seemed to convey two-fold
message, one for the mother and one
for the child, and both were comfort
ing. But he went away, disappointed.
The clue which promised so much
was, to all appearance, false one.
He could soon tell.
