BUTTS COMMITTEE PROBE INTO
VOTING MACHINE RE-oPENED
The Butts committee investigation
into the voting machine scandal was
re-opened yesterday. And already
the old talk of big money is being
heard
r. d. Bemiss, formerly salesman
with the Empire Voting Machine Co.,
which sold the machines to the city,
testified on the stand yesterday that
the company allowed it's agents $135
on each machine. This brought back
to mind the evidence last spring that
$105, 900 was used to grab off the Chi
cago contract.
Bemiss was an important, though
reluctant witness. But the commits
sion got enough from him to con-
vince them that there's an awful pile
of money in the voting machine if you
have enough influence to put over the
contracts.
He admitted that he knew William
II. SulCl VI Tic UOd4u VI
commissioners and one1of Andy Law
rence's followers. He also said that
when he told Stuart he didn't want to
get mixed up in the voting ma
chine mess the election official sug-
gested that they couldn't call him if
he got out of the state"
Andy Lawrence, Boss of the Ex-
aminer, will testify soon.

Generally speaking, the bill pro-

Seeks Government Ownership

1t was decided by the delegates OF
the Central Federated Union yesterday
as a result of an address by John
Brown, of the executive board OF the
United Mine Workers of America, on
the situation in the mining section OF
Colorado. to send a petition to Presi-
dent Wilson and Congress for iegis-
letive measures for government owner
ship and operation of all mines in the
United States.
Brown in his speech held that the
actions of the militia in Colorado gave
anarchists an excuse for revolutionary
agitation. bringing about condition
which could be cleared up only BY gov.
eminent ownership and operation OF
all the mines.
Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Cen
trail Federated Union, said last even
ing that the Central Federated Union
had appointed a committee to arrange
for mass meeting, at which resolu-
tions calling on President Wilson and
Congress to enact legislation by which
the government could acquire and

N. H. ROAD SHOWING
SIGNS OF YIELDING
Attorney General Now Hopeful
of Not Having to File His
Antitrust Suit.

Washington, July l1.--Prospects of a
dissolution of the Kew Haven railway
merger without u fight in the courts
are becoming brighter, and to-day the
situation was at such stage that ad-
ministration officials were hopeful that
the next week would see the railroad
officials taking action to accept the
enabling law enacted by the Massa-
chusetts Legislature and bring about
the dissolution of the New Haven and
Boston & Maine without forcing Attor-
ney General McReynolds to hle his
antitrust suit.
Although July 10 was the date ten
tatively set as the time limit which
the Attorney General would withhold
the suit, it is known that Mr.. Mercy
nolds does not feel bound by the TN
derstanding since the railroad officials
declined 70 effect the dissolution under
Tie terms Of the new Massachusetts,
law. The Attorney General feels free
to file the bill at any time. All the
papers have been ready for some time.
The suit could be filed at days
notice

WHAT GOLF CAN DO.

Golf is answerable for a good many
things in modern life. Among other
things, i is changing the holiday
habits OF members of Parliament. Sir
George Treyelyan has told us how in
the old days the rising of Parliament,
even for a short recess, sent half the
members hurrying across the Channel.
The more sober went 10 Paris TO study
politics there; the more literary found
their Mecca in the salons of the same
capital, and chopped epigrams with the
witty ladies Of the period The more
frivolous went TO replenish their ward
robes, and came back on the packet
gasping under the effects of wearing
half dozen waistcoats, besides more
intimate garments in layers, in order
TO cheat the customs.
In the nineteenth century it was
very much the same. but members
went still further afcld. In the diaries
Of Sir VI. T.. Grant. Duff il will be found
that he and his friends generally
waited impaticntly the taking Of the
last division, with their wives and lug
gage at the station, and then tore off
TO France, Germany or Italy. There is
an amusing story Of a very rough pas
sage, with the saloon occupied by pros
trate members of the government and
opposition parties spread out by chance
on opposite benches. Halfway across

his head to remark that he INTENDED

on Warburg's Name.
From TIE rrLhune Bureau.

Washington, July DispleaSed by
the statements which have emanated
from the White House regarding the
action OF the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee on the nomination OF
Thomas d. Jones. and its failure TO ac.
upon the nomination of Paul VI. war
burg, Republicans and Democrats alike
who are opposing Jones and Warburg
are bent on having consideration o.
the nominations in the open Senate,
instead Of behind closed doors.
When the nomination of Mr.. Jones
Is submitted to the Senate Monday by
the acting chairman OF the Banking
and Currency Committee. Senator
Hitchcock. with an unfavorable report,
Senator Hitchcock will move that the
report and the testimony given by Mr..
Jones before the committee. already
printed, be made public. II Is expect
60, too, that a motion TO consider me
nomination OF Mr.. Jones in open SEES
sion will be made.
While Senator Hitchcock is hopeful
Of defeating the nomination OF Mr..
Jones i'm the Senate, there are othef
opponents of Mr.. Jones who are not
so hopeful. They believe that the
President may succeed in putting the
nomination through and insist that
never before have they known such
srbserviency to the President as seems

Letters For and Against.
Senator Hitchcock said that he was
receiving a large number OF letters
from all parts Of the country approx
ing and condemning the action OF the
committee in the eases of Jones and

Hitchcock. "there was little opposition

ton. He has been in this country a
comparatively short time. We wished
10 inouire into his relations with for

this country.

the Puio money trust investigation
that a trust existed in New York, with
J.. P. Morgan & Co. at its head and
Kuhn. Loeb G. Co., Of which Mr.. War
burg is a member, at its tail"
Three reasons presented themselves,
said Senator Hitchcock. as possible
grounds for Mr.. Warburg's refusal TO
appear before the committee. They
we're that he was afraid to appear,
that he believed the Senate was not TO
be considered in the matter of ap-
pointments and that the President had
entire say in the matter, and that ne
did not believe il was any business OF
the committee to investigate his bust
ness relations.
Senate Committees Duty.
Senator Hitchcock insisted, however
that il was the duty of the Senate COM
mittee before passing upon the nom
ination. TO investigate the facts in
MIR. Warburg's case. He said ne
thought the Senate would support the
committee in its contention.

Senate may take their oath Of Office.
The three members Charles s. Ham,

The oath of Office is expected TO be

The policewomen were chosen on
account of their weight and muscle.
One of them, Mrs. Anna M. Morrison,
was an accomplished heavyweight
litter Two Of the policewomen, Mrs.
Anna M. touches and Mrs Mary A.
Boyd, made themselves particularly
unpopular by their roughness.
The two policewomen charged into
crowd of striking mattresses out
side Henrici's restaurant, on Ran
dolph street, and, after a hot fight,
arrested six Of them. The police
women had practised the well-known
"policeman's grip" on the arm, and
they used 1t with excessive force and
temper on their prisoners. The
Mattresses complained that "they
treated us lot worse than the men
cops" There was general demand
among workingwomen for the aboll-
ton OF the policewomen.
As result of this disturbance the
