Washington, July 28. —The senate, by a vote of 48 to 32, passed the LaFollette wool revision bill, offered as a compromise between Senator LaFol letle’s original substitute, and the Underwood’s bill as it came from the house.

Mrs. Beath of Bloomington Crushed in New York Elevator. New York, July 28. Mrs. Emma Beath, of 814 Norman street, Bloomington, 111., had her right leg so badly crußhcd in an elevator accident at the Audubon apartments, that when she was taken to the Washington Heights hospital physicians amputated the leg just below the right knee. On account of Mrs. Beath’s age—she is in her seventy-second year—the surgeons thought there was little chance of her recovery. Mrs. Beath’s son David, who is connected with a sugar refining company, lives at the Audubon and his mother has been visiting him for the past few weeks.

TAWNEY NOT TO BE SUMMONED

Lorimer Investigators Absolve Him from Suspicion. H.D.HOLTSUW ON THE STAND Cashier of luka (III.) Bank Tells of What D. W. Holtslaw Did with Money Received for His Vote. Washington, July 27. The senate committee which is investigating the election of Senator Lorimer of Illinois will not summon former Representative James A. Tawney of Minnesota to Washington. The committee decided there is nothing in the testimony which in any way reflects on Mr. Tawney and that it will not be necessary for him to appear. Chairman Dillingham received a telegram from Mr. Tawney asking for an opportunity of appearing as a witness to deny that he was in any wgy connected with the Fireproof Magazine, a Chicago publication, or had ever appeared before the officers of the postoffice department in its behalf. Mr. Tawney was mentioned during the testimony of James Keeley, general manager and editor of the Chicago Tribune, who on Tuesday said that George O. Glavis offered to purchase for Abe Tribune the documents of a firm of Washington lobbyists showing, as Glavis represented, that Senator Lorimer had received a share of the fees of this firm for his services in behalf of the Chicago magazine. Two witnesses were heard: H.‘ D. Holtslaw of luka, 111., and Thomas McGuire, a Chicago detective. Holtslaw is the son of D. W. Holstlaw, a Democratic member of the Illinois legislature, who confessed receiving $2,500 to vote for Lorimer. 11. D Holtslaw had the unpleasant duty of testifying to his father’s confession. . Holtslaw, Sr., had been subpoenaed to appear as a witness, but his son presented medical certificates of his illness, which prevented his coming to Washington. The witness was cashier of the Holtslaw Rank of luka and produced deposit slips and the bank’s books to prove that his father first f't posited the $2,500 he received for voting for Lorimer in the State Rank of Chicago, and later transferred it to his son, who deposited It in his own bank at luka.

M’NAMARA IS CONFIDENT

Man Held in Los Angeles Plot Says He Won't “Knock" McManigal. Bos Angeles. Cal., July 28. “Oh, what’s the use to be a knocker?” asked John J. McNamara, when asked Vfchat he thought of Ortie McManigal, who is alleged to have confessed concerning a plot to blow up the Los Angeles Times, in connection with which McNamara and his brother James are charged with murder. “I am confident of the outcome of the trial.” he said. “Perhaps this accounts for my gaining in weight. I hope the trial of myself and my brother will be confined to the courtroom, which is the proper place for it.’’

GENERAL NEWS

Passengers had a remarkable escape from death near Avant, Okla., when a train on the Midland Valley railroad crashed through a bridge fifty feet high. So far as known only six persons were injured, among them the conductor,! J. C. Smith of Muskogee. The engine passed over, the bridge before the pier gave way. The baggage car hangs at the west end of tne bridge, and the “Jim Crow” car, which went through, lies at the bottom of the creek, nearly buried in the water. The smoking car Js banging over the trestle, and the two rear passenger cars are on the track at the brink of the ravine The rebels oocupied Cape Haitien. The enemy also attacked Fort Liberte as President Simon and troops loft. The last of the Haitian government’s battalions embarked under a shower of lead. The division commanded by General Monplalsar, governor of Port-An-Prince and commander of the federal troeps fought valiantly, but the other forces of the government offered a feeble resistance. The greater part of the defeated federal are now scattered through the north. This city and the southern districts are quiet. The county grand jury at Keyser. W. Va., returned indictments against the Davis Coal and Coke iompany, subsidiary to the Western Maryland railway, and Mine Foreman John Kinney for resi»onsibility for the deaths of twenty-three milters, all Americans, but one —in the explosion of Ott Mine No. 20, near Eik Garden, April 24 last.

The regulars, or the Taft men, were in control of the Nebraska Republican convention. Resolutions endorsing the administration of President Taft were adopted without any opposition by the insurgents, who were supposed to be lined up for LaFollette. The latter did not even resist the adoption of the resolutions as they had threatened to do. Resolutions endorsing the Nebraska delegation in congress were also passed. Reciprocity was not inentioned. A dispatch from Ray City. Mich., says that for five minutes a snow flurry occurred several miles southeast of that city, the only snow ever recorded during July in that part of the state. A gale from the southwest lowered the river to such a extent that the traction and electric lighting plants ivere deprived of water for their boilers. Street car power and light current were off nearly an hour while an extension was fitted to the power house intake pipe. A falling off of casualties on Interstate railways during the quarter end ed March 31 last is shown in the accident bulletin for that period, issued by ihe interstate commerce commission. There were 2,124 killed and 16,430 injured during the quarter, including 706 employes killed and 10,974 injured. This is a decrease of 229 in the number killed and of 2,908 in the injured, with the corresponding quarter of last yefr.

In the first statement upon reciprocity since its passage through the senate, which was given out from the Beverly offices, President Taft ac knowledged the Democratic aid, with ovt which, he said, “reciprocity would have been impossible,” and thanked Secretary Knox and his special assistants at the state department for their work, “in the negotiations and fram irg of the pact and their lucid explanation and defense of its terms.” Castro, in the opinion of a diplomatic officer who has given some study to the problem of locating the Venezuelan, is now a sort of “Flying Dutch man,” making desperate efforts to reach a friendly port in his native country, and just as he nears his goal, being turned back, not by storms, but by watchful guardians of the Venezuelan coast or warships of other nations.

At Philadelphia in the presence of high dignitaries of the church and virtually all the clergy in the archdiocese, the Most Rev. Edmund Prendergast was epthroned archbish op of the Metropolital See of Philadelphai in the cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, succeeding the late Archbishop Patrick John Ryan. McManigal, alleged confessed dyna miter, and informer against the McNamara brothers, has been abandoned by some of his relatives because he repeats all their conversations with him to the prosecution, according to a statement made by an uncle, George Behm at Los Angeles, Cal. The Paris courts have granted a decree of separation to the Princess de Chimay, formerly Clara Ward, daughter of the late Commodore Ward ol Detroit, from her husbandi, Ricciardi, an employe of the Vesuvius funiqulai railway.

BRITISH PREMIER WARNS GERMANY

Asquith Gives Support to Fear of Conflict in Crisis. PLED6ES HELP TO FRANCE Balfour, Leader of Opposition, Joint in Move for United Front if Peril Comes to Empire Through Threatening Difficulty. London, July 28. —That Great Britain proposes’ to stand for what she considers her rights and to maintain the balance of power in Europe was proclaimed by Premier Asquith in the house of commons when he read from a manuscript a warning to Germany. The most pessimistic views regarding the acuteness of the Moraccon crisis were confirmed thereby.

Further teftinjony as to the gravity of the situation is given by the fact that the prime minister evidently had taken the leader of the opposition into the government’s confidence, and Mr. Balfour’s declaration was no less firm than Mr. Asquith’s. Alarming reports were circulated in unofficial places. At Lloyd’s war risks against hostilities between Great Britain and Germany within three months rose from 5 to 8 per cent In some cases even 10 per cent was paid. Against the risk of war between France and Germany 12 per cent was luoted. The prime minister’s speech was couched in diplomatic, though not reassuring, language. At the opening he said: “It is obvious that the Moroccan question has reached a point at which it will become increasingly difficult, embarrassing, and anxious unless a solution is found.” Later he said: “We thought it right from the begining to make clear that, failing of a settlement such as I have indicated, we must become an active party in the discussion of tfce situation. That would be our right as a signatory to the treaty of Algecires, as it might be our obligation under the terms of our agreement of 1904 with France. It might be our duty in defense of British interests directly affected by further developments.” v Mr. Asquith appealed to the house not to ask him to enter into further details at the present moment, as a too close analysis of the causes of the present incident might provoke recrimination, which it was desirable to avoid. The question of Morocco, the premier declared, bristled with difficulties. French View of Situation Paris, July 28. —The Matin says that the Moroccan situation is difficult though not disquieting, and that optimism should reign.

Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin.

The recent presentation of charges to the senate committee on privileges and elections impugning the election of Isaac Stephenson, United States senator from Wisconsin, indicates another investigation, rivaling the Lorimer case in interest. The investigation first was made by a joint committee of the Wisconsin legislature, which found no direct violation of iaw. and subsequently by a special committee of the Wisconsin senate, which in its report made a variety of charges. The documents received by the senate direct from the Wisconsin legislature request a congressional investigation of the charges against Senator Stephenson. The report of the Wisconsin state senate’s special committee declared Mr. Stephenson’s election to be the result of corruption and alleged that $107,000 had been spent in his behalf. Senator Stephenson and his friends have contended that the expenditures in the campaign were legitimate. Books showing the payment of $98,000, it is said, were exhibited before the Wisconsin committee.

Senator Stephenson is a native of the province of New Brunswick, Canada, and Is eighty-two years old. In 1845 he removed to Wisconsin and for many years was engaged in the lumber trade, in which he acquired a large fortune. He is a Republican In politics, and before becoming a senator he served three terms in the house of representatives. He was elected to the United States senate In 1907 to fill out the unexpired term of John C. Spooner and was re-elected for the full term in 1909. His term will expire in 1915.

PERT PARAGRAPHS. One way to success is by means of ten solid hours’ work a day, six days in the week and continued through an indefinite number of years. Tbe woman who works without any pay wants all of her husband’s. You can’t tell some people anything, but they are willing to let you try. A joke is no joke when you have to pay Its expenses. The man who can’t tell a story Is always the man who is dead willing to try. A good figure at the bank isn’t like a good figure in the dressmaker's shop, but there is a relation. A self made man is always willing to advertise his shop. A wise man keeps all the troubles to himself that he can’t scare up the alley. Borne men spend a lot of energy trying to get even with the world, and the world never finds them out The oftener some women are married the more they flaunt their spouses Jn the face of the public. „
