PROGRAM OF HOUSE CARRIED OUT JUST AS WAS SCHEDULED

lEvcrything that the DemoL crats Set Out to Do at the Opening of Extra Session 4s Accomplished. , PARTY HARMONY IS V QUITE REMARKABLE democrats Have Pulled Together from the Start and Have Put It Up to Republicans in the Senate. BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. , Washington, June 21. When the lnoute of representatives passed the bill lowering the duty on wool, known at Schedule K, the Democrats ol that body completed their legislative program. They have finished alt the . work which they set out to do when 'President Taft announced that he would convene congress In extra session. At the time this program was announced, it was predicted by the Republicans and by many Democrats themselves that the present majority In the house would never hold together long enough to pass more than one or perhaps two of the big measures which the caucus decided upon Right there Is where the mlscaJculatlon came in. The Democrats have pulled together from the beginning. They have disagreed In many Instanc es and tone or two serious ruptures I was averted and before the end of 'June their whole program has been passed on to the Republican senate 'and the Republican President for ac'tkm. , What Program Was. - This now famous program embraced 'the following measures: ' A revision of Schedule K by the low. ,erlng of the tariff on manufactured and raw wool. The Canadian reciprocity bill, formlag a trade agreement with the Dominion. A bill providing for the publicity of 'campaign contributions. A resolution for an amendment to the Constitution providing for the direct election of senators. A free list bill providing for the removal of the duty on many of the necessities of life. Bills providing for the admission as .states of the territories of Arizona mad New Mexico. Aa a result of this sweeping mass of legislation, the house finds Itself with little to do, now the woo! schedule Is revised, that It, IHUo to do until the senate takes some action. One of the very first bills to go 'through the house under Democrat lo rule was the reciprocity measure, proposed and urged by a Republican President. This bill was not amended In the house, but went to the senfate Just as it was recommended by President Taft. The senate has, however, required two months for ita finance committee to consider this bill, and the Indications now are that six weeks or more will bo necessary for altbate In the upper body. The Publicity Bill. Right on the heels of the reciprocity llil came the vote on the campaign contribution publicity bill. This measure differs with that proposed by the (Republicans In only one particular. It makes it compulsory on the part of an Individual running for a federal of'flee to announce publicly the amount, of money he received for campaigr purposes and the source, before, in atead of after, the election. The Republican party thought the elections sufficiently safeguarded by the requirement that the contributions be published after the election. Probably the most energetic debate In the house during the extra session has centered around the bill known as the "Farmers' Free List" bill. This removed the tariff from a score or more of articles which were necessary to the farmers. The Republicans opposed these measures with the greatest vigor, declaring In every' speech they made tiat the Democrats were ofefrtng the bills for political effect and with no patriotic Intent whatever. Just the same, the bills went through. As for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, the Democrats pledged themselves to this policy in the first caucus, and as soon as their committee on territories could report out a bill that would pass muster, they passed It through the house. The present measure allows admission but makes it , necessary for bothe territories to vote upon amendments to their constitutions, as a condition of admission. . In the case of New Mexico, the people vf that state must say whether or (Continued on Page Eight) ? JLA VE the Palladium go Ml with you on your vacation. Ten cents per week.

VVJLL EXECUTE AN I N Of AN PRINCESS For Murdering Discarded Lover by Putting Arsenic into His Milk. (National News Association) Calcutta. June 24 Great excitement among Indians has. been caused by the passing of sentence of death at Armitsar, Punjab,, on the Suderanl Bbagwan Kaur. commonly known as the Ranee gahiba, for having caused the death of a Brahmin . named Kahan Chand, by giving him arsenic in milk. ' The Ranee (whose rank is equivalent to that of a princess) is the widow of Slrdan Dyal Singh, who was one of the most . prominent men in the Punjab. The murdered man bad been the Ranee's lover, but she tired of him and wanted to get rid of him. As he flatly declined to leave her, she admitted him to her private apartments on the night of February 20. and gave him a draught of milk with arsenic in it. Two days later she had the body removed by some trusted servants. ' In passing sentence the judge said that it was difficult to conceive a more cold-blooded murder, as the Ramee must ' have heard the groans of her discarded lover, dying on the threshold of her apartments. "I therefore, sentence her," said the judge, "to be hanged by the neck until she is dead." The Ranee has appealed to the Punjab Chief Court.

TRUST BUSTERS TU INVESTIGATE ACTS OF COFFEE OCTOPUS

Uncle Sam's Activities Have Stirred Controllers of This Drink to Prepare Their Defense. BRAZIL ANXIOUS TO LEARN INTENTIONS South American Republic Is Largely Responsible U. S. May Impose Countervailing Duty. f National News Association) Washington. June 24. Manipulations of the International Coffee trust have again stirred legislators and government trust busters and awakened fresh interest in the octopus of the breakfast table. It is believed that te recent transactions in coffee in both American and European markets are a result of the anti-trust agitation in congress. These transactions, which were in warehoused coffee have aggregated nearly 1,000,000 bags. A bag contains about 133 pounds. From indications It would seem that the coffee trust managers are getting ready to put up the strongest possible defense against the activities of this government in the coffee trust matter. So, too. is the government of Brazil, which is known to be much concerned about the possibility of serious friction in its commercial relations wita tne United States. So grave, in fact has this friction become, that it has lately become known that the Brazilian government has addressed diplomatic representations to the state department concerning this government's views and intentions regarding the coffee trust. It is not known what form these In quiries took, or what reply to them was made by Secretary of State Knox. At present it Is pointwf rout that'the Investigation that has Teen, or is about to' be. Inaugurated by the government for no one is supposed to know whether the government is investigate ing the coffee trust or not, and inquiries at the Department of Justice elicit no definite reply, has not produced results sufficiently .. definite to make clear what action will be necessary. .Consequently, if reported information is correct, the Brazilian government is no wiser today concerning the steps that the United States is taking to break up the pool of coffee capitalists than It was when inquiries were recently mode at the State DepartmentBrazilian Agents Active. However, Brazil "is not resting on her oars. That government is sitting up and taking a whole lot of notice of What is going on. One story has it that there are a number of Brazilian secret service agents In this country watching the moves that are made by the government investigators. If this be true, it is safe to say tbat Brazil is as fully advised of what this government is doing in respect to the coffee trust as the Department of Justice officials and the President. The coffee exchange people in New York are also on the lookout and are displaying much activity. The trust is highly unpopular with the coffee brokers and merchants, as well as with the wholesalers, retailers and consumers. The brokers and jobbers complain that the trust keeps such a tight hand on the market that there is no speculative possibility. Its domination of supplies is such that anybody attempting an independent movement can instantly be swamped by the overpowering might of the trust, either by withholding supplies, or damping them on the market. Against the argument admitted by the independents and allied interests the Brazilian government and the trust point out. that the maintenance of price stability and prevention of fluctuations have been advantageous to the trade and the consumer. The combination, it is declared, has not ad vanced prices beyond a reasonable point. 1,5004)00 Bags in Warehouses. According to experts of the Depart ment of Justice, the coffee trust has about 1,500,000 bags of coffee in ware houses In the United States. The production has been so far checked by the laws of Brazil that last year's output is believed to have been within the consumption, so that the world, through its consumption, is beginning to reduce the surplus stock. To effect the arbitrary restrictions imposed on the consumers In all parts of the world, particularly the United States. It has been- suggested by a number of lawmakers and others that a countervailing duty should be placed on Brazilian coffee imported into the United . States. ' Necessarily this has caused the Brazilian government a great deal of concern, as the United States is one of ita heaviest customers. The suggestion to investigate the trust started through Representative Norris, of Nebraska, in discussing the grasping tendencies of the trust and (Continued on Page Six)

DID NOT CENSURE OFFICER HEBBLE "Music is music" is the saying which City Judge W. W. Zimmerman has exalted from the bench, which perfectly satisfied Prof. Aurele Borris, head of the musical department of Earlham college, and music lovers of the city and was agreeable to Officer Hebble. At the meeting of the board of metropolitan police commissioners on Saturday night, neither the quotation, nor the incident which arose to make it memorable in the city was referred to. Hebble's only reprimand was by Judge Zimmerman, who stated in his opinion the patrolman had acted a little hasty in charging ,Prof. Borris with maintaining a public nuisance when he could not sleep because of the music teacher's singing. The only business before the board was to appoint Roy Wenger patrol driver during the illness of William White, who three weeks ago tonight was stricken with apoplexy. The condition of the patrol driver is improved insofar as his mentality is concerned, but physically he is no better.

RAID HANG-OUT OF RICHMOND SPORTS J Ed. Mann, Eaton Cigar Dealer, Arrested for Having "Wet" Goods. (Palladium Special) Eaton, Ohio, June 24. Perhaps the quantity of stock carried by J. Ed Mann, cigar dealer (to all outward appearances) at the corner of Main and Cherry streets, in his alleged "wet trust" built up since the going dry of Preble county, was not reasonable the celebrated term in the late celebrated trust decision of the United States Supreme court and hence steps to break his "trust" resulted. !

Mann's place of business was a favorite loafing place of Richmond sports on-'Sunday when. the lid 4s down- in the Quaker City and everything as dryas the desert sands.

The will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church, was admitted to probate fn the Suffolk county Probate court. Attorney General James M. Swift, of Massachusetts immediately took an appeal to the Supreme court on the question of domicile. The carrying of the case to the Supreme court brings the will alongside another proceeding relating to property left by Mrs. Eddy. Both actions Involve substantially the same questions regarding domicile of the testatrix, and it is the desire of the attorney general to have both cases tried at the same time. At the probate hearing no objections were made to the allowance of "the will a copy of which was offered by Charles F. Choat. The copp was authenticated showing the record of the (.proceedings at Concord. N. H., where the original is on file. It is the claim of the attorney general that Mrs. Eddy was domiciled in Massachusetts at the time of her death and that this state is entitled to the tax levy, the amount of which is said to be comparatively small. The action now pending in the Supreme court involves the conveyance of two parcels of real estate from trustee of Mrs. Eddy's property to the directors of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. The statute limiting bequests to churches to an amount yielding not more than $2,000 also is involved in this latter case.

AFRAID JF CENSUS And Big Russian Colony Flees Country. (National News Association) : Constantinople, June T 24-One of those curious instances of quaint historical survival of which may occur in Asia Minor, has lately come before officail Russian attention in Constantinople. It is the case of a colony of about 3,000 Russian Cossacks, settled in Anatolia, Asia Minor. The forefatehsr of these CoBsacks left Russia for voluntary exile 350 years ago. Their departure was occasioned by an attempt to enroll their names for census purposes in writing. According to the creed of these peasants, the writing down of their names jeopardizes their chances of calvation, for it involved the curee of Anti-Christ enabling him to set his seal upon ther. During the whole of this time the Cossacks have kept their identiy absolutely intact. They speak the Russian dialect bearing the same relation to the language of the present day as does our moderu English to that of Chaucer. They wear the Russian dress of three centuries ago, and even grow herbs, uncultivated elsewhere in Anatolia, to make the dishes that were the food of mediaevil Russia. -A few months ego, this little band of Russian exiles found themselves suddenly faced by the same danger that threatened their ancestors in the sixteenth century. The .Turkish government having decidede to call upon its Christian subjects for military service, demanded the enrolment of those men of the community who were of age, and again they were in danger of the seal of the Anti-Christ. This time a split occurred. The young men urged that since they could not avoid enrolment it were best to serve in Russia among their kindred, but the older members were in favor of remaining. The arbitration of the Russian consul in Constantinople was Invoked and through his agency, funds were obtained from the Russian gov ernment to enablethose who wished to return to Russia leaving the rest to live on a tiny ethnological island among the races of Anatolia.

BECOME HABIT; Little Surprise Manifested by, Some Over Disclosure of' Cigaret Club Arnqng Elite Richmond Girls. WEED A FAVORITE AMONG THE WOMEN Only Action to Be Taken by Parents Has Been at Home The Police Will Exercise More Vigilance, r " Home circles in the East End are' agog with the news printed last evening concerning the exposure of a young girl's cigaret club. Nothing has caused so much comment for some time, and speculation is rife as td the size of the club, the identity of ; Ita members, and the length of . time it has, existed.' f ; ;. There have been some, however, who i have manifested little surprise over the disclosure. One of these Is Superintendent of Schools. Thomas A. Mott. He says that girls everywhere will have their little clubs and gatherings and that where everything la done is secret, as seems to have been the case with the cigaret club, no tab can be had on their doings and such things as the smoking of the "pills" may be- undertaken by them In secret. He said girl clubs, when carried on in the right way, are a splendid thins but that when cigaret smoking be comes one of the ; pleasures they have an extremely, bad effect. The smoking of cigarets in Richmond by women and girls is held by some not to be confined to. a few. News of the cigaret club of the fair sex has led many, to declare that lb it not an uncommon thing for them to smoke the "pills" and that if the truth were known it would be dls-, closed that the use of tobacco in cigaret form by Richmond women baa taken large bounds during recent years. Little can - be letrnsedof the extent or the use or cigarets ny tne reminine sex from the sale of the "coffin nails", by tobacco dealers. There is a mod-,, erate demand for the women's size and many of these styles of cigarets are sold to women. Women who smoke are also understood to use the regular cigarets, and they are secured by them from dealers. on the pretext that they desire them for brothers or fathers and men are said to supply the women with cigarets secretly. Dealers admit there are ten requests by women for cigarets today, to one such request a few years ago. Superintendent of Police, I. A. Gormon declares that the police hate been acquainted with the fact for . some time that some of the fair sex of the city were addicted to the use of the "coffin nail." However; when he learned from the Palladium that young girls, some not over fourteen yeara of age, had the habit, he expressed surprise. The police will learn, if possible, what dealers are distributing the doped nicotine to the effeminate smokers. It is unlikely any action will be taken by the authorities, except that warnings and criticism will be given to the undiscriminating dealers. The parents of the girls in the club will take no , action against ;. the dealers, preferring to hush up the circumstance and thus protect their daughters from public criticism.
