After striking Harry Cory over the bead, rendering him unconscious, two unknown men entered the Sapphire restaurant. South Eighth street, .early this morning and rifled the cash register of $10. The men then took. $60 from Cory and fled, leaving no clue as to their Identity. Irvin Hull, owner of the restaurant, stated this morning that he knew of persons who described two suspicious- - ly acting men. One of these, Charley Webster, was arrefrted- en suspicion, and examined by Chief of Police Gormon. He established' his innocence ' and was released. . Cory was employed at night at the restaurant. He claims .that at 1:45 o'clock this morning he stepped to the "back door to throw, away some, coffee 'grounds. He had started to empty these from a sack, he claims, when he was struck over the head and was rendered unconscious. He claims that he ihad $60 in his pocket and that this was taken. One of the regular Waiters of the place was sleeping in a small room off the main room. He was awakened by Cory, who ran. in from the rear of the restaurant, where he claims he was struck by the men. Cory shouted that he had been robbed of $60 and that $10 had been taken from the cash register. An examination of the contents of the register showed that it was ehort $10. "''':.-. Chief of Police Gormon Stated that .there are several ; things connected with the case that seem suspicious. Although he has made no examination of Cory, he stated that Cory had not 8een the cash register after the time ' he was knocked down and that when j he became conscious ne lmmeaiaieiy .spread the report that $10 had been stolen. An examination revealed this 1 to be correct. Two men described as wearing blue shirts, were said to have raised a disturbance In another restaurant at a i late hour last night. One of these men I could not be found but the other was I arrested early this morning. He had j only $1 with him. j Cory will be examined by Chief of I Police Gormon who believes that flaws may be found in his story.

Kerr of Greensfork who was charged with illegal sale of liquor. A similar robbery at a restaurant several years ago in which Cory flawed was found to be a frame up on the part of employes of the restaurant f t-V the olfce and throw suspicion elsewhere, police say.

Should License Spooners

Park Superintendent Ed Hollarn enthusiastically indorses the suggestion of a Minneapolis .minister, the Rev. G. L. Merrill, that persistent public spooners be compelled to take out a license. "There are a lot of fellows who seem to think they haye a lease on the park benches to use for spooning purposes. If they must use the park as a hugging place make 'em pay bench rental by taking out a spooner's license. These pests have not been as bad this year as formerly but the season is still young," remarked Hollarn, then he went into the bear pit to engage young Boscoe in a wrestling match.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE BY SUFFRAGETTES Home Near London Burned With a Loss of $50,000 Mrs. Drummond 111. (Xational News Association) LONDON, May 9. Fresh suffragette outrages stirred England today. Members of the Young "Hot blood" service of 'the Woman's social and political union burned Oaklea Mansion at Barrow, causing $50,000 loss. The mansion was untenated at the time. Other members of the union attempted to attack Premier and Mrs. Asquith and First Lord of the Admirality Winston Churchill and 'Mrs. Churchill as they were on their way to Victoria Ry. station today. Mr. and Mrs. Asquith and Mr. and Mrs. Churchill were leaving on a journey to Venice where they will embark upon the admirality yacht Enchantress for a cruise through the Meditterrean for inspection of British fortresses and navy depots. Only the fact that they had a heavy bodyguard of policemen, soldiers and private detectives saved them from injury at the bands of militant suffragette3. Mrs. Flora Drummond, or "General" Drummond, as she is known because of her amazonian qualities, who collapsed in Bow street court yesterday during .the trial of the women arrested in the raid on the headquarters of the Women's social and political union, was in a serious condition today. She hd refused to ea !or ! spite the governor and her health has be come so badly deranged as a result that an operation may be necessary. She was removed to a nursing home this morning. Interesting sidelights on the organ""ion f militants are being brought out at the trial of the militant lead ers. Letters, seized by the police, include a number of passionate, burning love letters from a former socialist member of Parliament. The letters show that he is infatuated with one of the leaders of the "Wild Women" and that he allied himself with the "cause" at her command. C. W.

HALDERWIAII AGAlII IN THESPOTLIGHT New Paris Physician Is Defendant in Divorce Action. (Palladium Special) EATON, O., May 9. Domestic troubles have again brought up before Preble county's bar of justice Dr. Allen Halderman and his wife, Coral L. Halderman, both well-known residents of New Paris. This time the wife is the plaintiff and asks to be given a divorce. In her petition she makes many allegations, chief among which is failure to support. Judge W. W. Teegarden, of Greenville, is hearing the case, which began Wednesday. Substantiating her charge that the doctor has been guilty of failure to provide, she claims to have been compelled to make a living for herself and children, while he flew around with a long-tailed coat and high silk hat exhibiting his wild intentions. The troubles of the Haldermans have been many and have attracted countrywide attention. A year or two ago their picturesque homer, near Cedar Springs was partially destroyed by a fire of mysterious origin, and Halder man caused the indictment of his wife on a charge of arson. About the same time the wife had Halderman arrested for an alleged attempt to shoot her. A little later the woman was brought into the spotlight again by her attempts to dispose of an illegitimate child born to her daughter. The babe was left on the doorstep of Dr. W. WT. Zimmerman, mayor of Richmond, Ind. EMPLOYES ARE PAID TWICE EACH MORTH Pennsylvania Employes Receive Wages on Eighth and Twenty-Fourth. Beginning this month the P. C. C. & St. L. and the C. & O.

SENATE GETS

TARIFF BILL -FROM ' HOUSE After Being Read the Under wood Measure Was Referred to the Finance Committee For Action. EXPECT BIG FIGHT OYER THE MEASURE Bill Passed By the Housa Yesterday Will Not Look Like It Does Now Within a Few Weeks. (N'atlonal New Asso-Utto WASHINGTON, May S. Shortly af ter the senate convened today the Un derwood tariff bill was brought over from the house and the long fight on the measure was under way. The first' step towards its ultimate enactment waa ita perfunctory reading on the floor of the senate and its reference to the senate finance committee. On the finance committee the distri bution of the bill already had been provided for. . The troublesome sugar and wool schedules were aasigned to sub committees one and two of the finance committee, composed In the: first instance of Senators Stone, Thom-1 as. James and Simmons, and In the second Senators Williams, Shiveley. Gore and Simons. The remaining schedules were equally divided between sub committees one and two and three. All hearings on the bill will be behind closed doors. The Democrats have decided that public hearings would consume too much, time. Under this system it was expected that three weeks would be used by the committee In considering the meaa ure and that probably six weeks mora would be required for debate on taa floor. It also was considered a certainty that when passed "by the senate a number of change would be found In tha . measure. This would necessitate ita reference to a conference of house and senate members. - - The Underwood tariff bill, proclaimed by tha Democratic party aa the answer to its platform pledge to reduoa the tariff downward, was passed bf the House late yesterday.. The vote waa 281 to 139, five Democrats voting against it. Four Progressives supported -the measure and fourteen opposed it. while one Independent progressive joined with, the majority. When Speaker Clark announced the vote in loud tones that revealed his satisfaction In the arrival of the day he long bad sought, exuberant Democrats hoisted a stuffed Democratic donkey over tbe heads of their colleagues in the rear of the chamber a faint ripple of applause followed and the gavel fell on the first chapter la the history of President Wilson's extra session of Congress. Republicans and Progressives. Ie4 respectively by Representatives Mana and M unlock, protested to the last against the measure, the lowest tariff bill ever written and proclaiming, as the Democratic avalanche bowled them over, the virtues of differing tariff commission plans. Republicans who voted for the bill j were Cary and Stafford of Wisconsin. i ing it to the free list in three years. and C. B. Smith of New York. Progressives who voted for the bill were Kelly, and Rupley of Pennsylvania, Nolan of California and Bryan of Washington. Kent of California, formerly a Republican, but now an independent Prgoressive, also voted for the bill. Progressive Leader Murdock and thirteen of his Progressive follower voted with the minority. Representative Copley, a Progressive, did not vote, answering "present" to his name.
