BREAKS DOWN AT
SCHECK'S FUNERAL
WIDOW UNABLE TO KEEP BACK
HER TEARS
Goes to Cemetery In Company With
Detective— Stackpole Still Retl
. cent—Murder Charge to Be
Filed Today
Although the detectives and the dis
trict attorney's office claim that Mrs.
Aurllla Scheck made possible the mur
der, of ' her husband last Thursday
mornln*> the woman attended the fu
neral of her husband yesterday after
noon at the Evergreen cemetery.
Accompanied by her brother and sis
ter-in-law, and in the custody of De
tective Harvey Davis, Mrs. Scheck left
tho city Jail yesterday afternoon In a
carriage ■ and drove to the cemetery.
The woman did not alight from the
carriage. She was much affected as
the last words, before her husband was
lowered into the grave, were said.
When she returned to the station
she showed no signs of having been
weeping,' but as she 'was taken to her
cell by the matron the woman burst
into tears. Matron McPeak says the
'woman has shown extraordinary self
control during her Imprisonment.
Stackpole Is Reticent
Her alleged companion, Ernest G.
Stackpole, who Is in cell 6 of the city
jail, has taken a sullen attitude toward
the Jailer and the trusties. The man
has talked with no one for several
days. Pat Murray, the jailer, says
Stackpole shows extraordinary stoic
ism . and seems Indifferent as to what
will' be done with him.
'During the time of the funeral of
Joel Scheck yesterday Stackpole was
entirely indifferent, and when he was
told : that Mrs. Scheck had been taken
to her husband's funeral, at her own
request, the man did not say a word
nor change expression.
• The interment of Scheck was under
the auspices of the "Fraternal Brother
hood, Royal lodge, of which Scheck
■was a member. Many of the laundry
hands who knew Scheck attended the
funeral and ■ hundreds of people were
there, curious to ■ see the I murdered
man.
Will. Charge Murder
- Mrs. Scheck and Krnest G. Stackpole
will be . charged with murder in the
.first degree today, arid it Is said an
unusual chain of circumstantial cvi-
S dence will be brought to light which
a will give motive for . the crime and
prove that the murder was premedi
tated. The. motive in the case is said

ARGUED
Meat Inspection Measure Comes Up
Tuesday for Final Consideration.
General News Forecast of
the Week
By AsxoclAted Press.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 17.-In
preparation for the vote on the sea level
Panama canal bill, which la fixed for
next Thursday, the senate will devote
much of the time this week prior to
that date to the consideration of the
bill. ;., ;
The senate agreement calls for a final
vote on the bill before adjournment on
Thursdtiy and for beginning the vote
on amendments at 3 o'clock on that day.
The Lake Erie and Ohio ship canal
bill will also continue to receive atten
tion.
The meat inspection amendment will
be called up Tuesday and disposed of
with as great dispatch as possible. The
time to be spent on It Is estimated as
two days. Debate on this bill will be
confined to the destruction of the vari
ous publications of the measure and
proposed amendments thereto.
Pure Food Bill
The pure food debate will, be some
what political In Its nature. For several
weeks members who have applied for
time to make tariff rpeeches and to dis
cuss politics generally have been told
to wait until the pure food bill came up.
The passage of this bill before the
adjournment of the session was planned
some time ago by Speaker Cannon and
Chairman Hepburn of the interstate
find foreign commerce commission, as It
was decided then to make It the vehicle
for thu closing of the political speeches
of the' session.
The Immigration bill, which is to close
the week's work, will be iiiven the con
sideration which the time permits. In
order to finish the program the leaders
have opt for the bouse it may require
that body to sit during the evening, as
well as carrying out the special order
for 11 o'clock sessions each day.
The omnibus public building. bill and
tho general deficiency bill will not en
ter into legislative consideration this
week.
Public Building Bill
The public building bill is to be one
of the last taken up at this session.
So many members are . interested in
this bill, and therefore remain at the
capltol while It is pending, that put
ting the bill last on the program
makes it easier to maintain a quorum
of the house during the wind up of
the session when th«> presence of the
members is needed to prevent useless
delays.
The interstate commerce commission
on Thursday. June 21. will be in ses
sion in Washington and will be ready
at that time to hear the presidents of
the railroad companies concerning
which testimony has been taken re
cently to show that rebates have been
granted or that the distribution of cars
has been influenced by favoritism. The
presidents who have been notified that
the commission will hear them are:

Oscar G. Murray, Baltimore & Ohio:
George W. Stevens, Chesapeake &

The suburban handicap will be run
at the Sheopshead Bay course of the

day, the 21st. This will be the twenty
third renewal of the big race, which
has been won by some of the moist fa
mous horspH in this country, ranging
from General Monroe, the winner of
•he flrcit Suburban in 1884, down to
Beldame, the winning mare in 1305.
The flold for the Suburban this year,
however, promises to be most disap
pointing, as one by one the horses
which were destined to be the stars of
the year have broken down and gone
into temporary or permanent retire
ment.
Sysonby, Artful. Lanya, and lastly
Burgomaster, have all gone wrong
and have taken much of the class from
the race. Notwithstanding their ab
sence, however, it will still take a good
horse to win over the mile and a quar
ter course. The fie-ld will be a large
one and evenly matched.
The Intercollegiate regatta will be
held at Poughkeepsie on Saturday,
June 23. There will be three races —
a 'varsity eight, a 'varsity four-onr and
b freshman eight. Crews from Cornell,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Columbia,

tlon Arrived at This
Week
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 17,-Speaker
Cannon spent some time at the White
House tonight with President Roose
velt conferring on legislative matters.
The speaker, regarding the adjourn
ment program, Bays '.hat ho expects
congress will close up business and get
awuy from Washington by July 1.
Regarding the meat Inspection legis
lation, Jlr. Cannon reiterated his
opinion that safe and sane legislation
will be enacted and that nothwithstand-
Ing differences on the natter of judicial
review everybody's constitutional rights
will be protected.
Thero are a number of questions
which are to. be brought before the
house under sucpension of the rules
and Speaker Cannon says that If threo
hours be devoted tomorrow for that
purpose these can be disposed of.
This in all probability will be done
unless the house decides to immediately
adjourn, after convening, out of re
spect to the memory of Representative
Lester of Georgia, who died yesterday.
Discuss Amendment Features
Members of the house committee on
agriculture, ■ including Representative
Adams of Wisconsin, assisted by sev
eral members of the department of agri
culture, devoted some time today to a
discussion of various features of the
amendment proposed by the house com
mittee to which the president has
pointed out his objection^ '
There is to be a meeting of the full
committee and an effort is being made
to agree on some ground ot modifica
tion of tho objectionable features bo as
to facilitate action on the measure.
Mr. Adams, v/ho was at the "White
House Friday, and was made ac
quainted with J .he president's views,
explained them in detail to his col
leagues on the committee today.
A suggested amendment, which Mr.
Adams says emanated from the de
partment of agriculture officials, and
which. It is said, is favorably consid
ered, by the president, has been brought
forward to eliminate the objections set
forth by the president to the court re
view proposed by the amendment.
Gives Secretary Final Control
This new proposition Is designed to
give the .secretary of agriculture final
control of the situation so far as the
question of fitness of slaughtered ani
mals for human food is concerned, by
the insertion of the following clause In
the paragraph of the amendment relat
ing to Inspection and condemnation at
the post mortem examination of such
animals "which in the judgment of the
secretary of agriculture bo unsound,
unhealthful. unwholesome and unfit for
human food."
This clause is suggested to take the
place of the words "found to be un
sound, unhealthful." etc.
The proposed amendment is expect
ed to meet with opposition from Iho
packing interests, who object to dele
gating such final authority, to the de
partment officials.
Mr. Adams expressed tho opinion
that the committee on agriculture will
recede from its position, waiving the
.appointment of inspectors under tho
civil service commission. This waiver
was Inserted in the amendment be
cause, he sayn. tho committee was un
der the Impression that the depart'
ment had not a sufficient list of per
sons available for that position. He
haß since been informed that there will
be a sufficient number ready for work
whenever the legislation becomes ef
fective.
Chairman Wadßworth of the com
mittee, who IS" in New York, is ex
pected to return to the city tomorrow.

BANK CLEARINGS
BREAK RECORDS
UNITED STATES HAS BANNER
MONTH IN MAY
Los Angelet Shows Month's Gain of
Five Millions, but San Francis.
co Reports a Temporary
Loss
Bany clearings In the United States
in May were the largeHt for the month
on record, and the largest, with the
exception of December and January
last, ever recorded.
It Is probable that but for tho fire
in San Francisco the figures would
have exceeded even those for the two
months named, for an analysis ot the
clearing house statements shows that
the calamity In the northern part of
this state had a serious effect on the
totals for the entire country.
San Francisco, Plttsburg and St.
Louis were the only large cities in the
country that showed a loss In clear-
Ings last month as compared wnth
May, 1905.
The decrease for Plttsburg and St.
Louis was comparatively small,
amounting only to about 6 per cent
for the former and 3 3-8 per cent for
the latter, but San Francisco dropped
more than 64 per cent.
In May, 1905, San Francisco reported
clearings amounting to $146,281,511,
while last month the total was only
$52,467,612. This loss was so great that
despite the fact that most of the other
coast cities showed good gains in their
bank exchanges, tho total for the entire
Pacific coast states group fell $57,000,
uOO behind the record for the corres
ponding month last year.
Los Angeles Gains
San Francisco's loss of $94,000,000 was
thus about half made up by the other
cities on the Pacific coast. I^os An
geles showed a gain" of $5,000,000, the
clearings in this city last month being
$47,320,025, against $42,401,260 for the
corresponding month last year, and
$28,601,913 for May, 1004,
There is no question that 1906 will
be the banner year in point of clear
ings for Los Angeles.
The total for 1905 was the hlgheßt
that ever had been recorded up to that
lime, but so far In 1906 there has been
an enormous gain over the results
shown for the corresponding period last
year. The total for the first five
months of 1906 is $240,655,047, against
$186,783,107 for the corresponding period
last year, and $140,592,466 for the first
five months in 1904.
The High Record
The Increase for the entire country
over May last year was 9.6 per mrnt,
and over May, 1904, 60 per cent. The
Increase over May, 1901, which, until
recently was the high record of clear
ings, was only 3 per cent. New York's
total for the month was 11 1-2 por cent
above 1905, Philadelphia 9 5-8, Boston
4 1-4 and Chicago 9.

MAYFAIR STEAMS
AWAY PROTECTED
Port Los Angeles Is Her Destination.
Steamers San Gabriel and
dnarles Nelson Depart
for North
Under her own steam, and in the
presence of elffht deputy sheriffs from
Los Angeteß. the steumer Mayfuir, be
longing to Ueudle Uroa. of San Fran
cisco, went to sea at noon Sunday,
bound for Port Los Angeles.
The Mayfalr has been tied up in Ban
Fedro since lunt Tueßday. yhe had
be«n unable to tret longshoremen to
ll u lull discharging the balance of her
cargo of dHi.ooti feet of lumber which
remained when her crew left tlm vts
eel.
On Saturday oiu» of the owners, Don
Beadle, was In San Pedro and made !
arrangements to have the vessel towed
to Port Los Angeles. Tho tug Redondo
arrived for that purpose shortly. before '
night, but a short conference was held
between quite a number of sailors and '
longshoremen, who were present .on ■
tho wharf, and Captain Titchworth of
the tug. the result of which was that
no attempt was made to clear. ■
Application for assistance was made
to the sheriff's office, and at 11 o'clock
Uunday eight deputies put in their ap
pearance. No resistance whatever was
made by sailors or longshoremen.
Although she cleared under 1 her. own
steam, it was reported that the tug
Hedondo was In wait in the outer har
bor to take her In tow for Fort l,oa
Angeles.
This leaves only the steamer Nome i
City at this port tied up. Her oftt- '
cers and engineers left Friday on. the,
Jloanoke for San Francisco. The en- ,
tire crew was paid off here. . ....
Steamer San Gabriel, for Umpqua
river, which lias met the demand of ,
the sailors, sailed late Saturday night,;
Steamer Charles Nelson, for Tacoma,:
left last night. She hud signed the
agreement mi I y for t lie round trip,
from Tiinima ami It la believed in Sun.
Tedio that she will be tied up when she:
reaches the north. , ' ,■ -, ; .
