SENATE VOTES ON
DIRECT ELECTIONS
MEASURE PROVIDING FOR AN
AMENDMENT TO CONSTITU
TION DI8P08ED OF.
RECIPROCITY FIGHT ON TUESDAY
Congress This Week Also to Take Up
Wool Tariff Revision.—Panama
Bonds Will Sell
Fast.
Washington, June 12.—Opening of
the fight on the Canadian reciprocity
bill on the floor of the senate Tues
day, with the house Democrat leaders
urging the senate to defeat the Root
amendment to the paper schedule
vote in the senate on the popular elec
tion of senators bill resumption of
the wool tariff revision debate in the
house Tuesday—this is the week's
program of congress.
Several conferences are figured on,
Including a caucus of Democrats in
the house Wednesday night to consid
er extension of the legislative pro
gram, and a meeting of Republican
senators to revise the list of senate
employes. House investigating com
mittees will continue their work.
Meantime, there is a raft of specu
lation as to the probability of adjourn
ment, which Senator Smoot and some
ethers predict as early as July
27, while Democratic Leader Under
wood says: "If the extra session con
tinued until late summer or autvunn"
a more comprehensive scheme of tar
iff revision will be proceeded with by
the house."
Early action on the reciprocity bill,
hoped for by the president, seems un
likely unless the Root amendment,
which has been objected to as fatal
to the agreement, is defeated.
Amendment to be Opposed.
Mr. Underwood and other Democrats
who oppose the Root amendment now
propose to exert all the influence they
can to prevent favorable action on the
amendment so that it will be unneces
sary for the bill to be re-referred to
the lower branch ©f congress.
Word from the senate finance com
mittee that it has practically wound
up its business for the extra session
has reached the house. Democratic
representatives are about convinced
that the senate committee will not
pass upon any of their tariff legisla
tive bills, the free list and wool bills
and one yet to come, probably a re
vised cotton schedule, upon which a
house sub-committee of the ways and
means is now working.
Because of the attitude of the sen
ate finance committee toward the
house tariff bills. Senator Stone,
backed by other Democrats, has
served notice that after waiting a rea
sonable time for the committee to act,
motions would be made to have It dis
charged from bills referred to it, such
as the free list bill and the wool bill.
This would force discussion on these
measures to the front and disposition
of them in that way might be made,
but not without prolonged discussion.
In the senate the bill providing for
the popular election of United States
senators by amendment to the con
stitution will be voted on, June 12 hav
ing been agreed upon some time ago
as the date to complete the work on
that measure. Indications point
strongly to its passage by the neces
sary two-thirds majority. At the last
session a similar measure almost se
cured the necessary two-thirds.
With a view of insuring the widest
publicity of all the expenditures' of
candidates for congress, the senate
committee on privileges and elections
next week will complete amendments
to the house bill on this subject, which
will vastly broaden the proposed laws.
It is proposed to make the law ap
plicable to primary as well as regular
elections.
Bids $50,000,000 Panama Loan.
The government5s $50,000,000 Pana
ma canal loan probably will be taken
in the main by small investors. Al
though the bids will not be opened un
til next Saturday more than 900
sealed proposals have been received
at the treasury department. They
came from all sections of the country
and the loan seems to be well un
derstood by the public.
Minneapolitan Buys Large Ranch.
Butte, June 12.—T. L. King, of Min

Cronstadt, Russia, June 12. The

TWO NEW YORKER8 PERI8H
WHEN BOAT CAP8IZE8.
Women Trampled In Flushing, L. I.
Circus Tent When Audience
8tampedes.
New York, June 12.—A survey of
the nearby territory over which the
elements raged for six hours showed
that a total of three lives were lost
and that the havoc wrought by water,
lightning, wind and hail amounted to
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Two bodies were found on the shore
of Gravesend bay and identified as
Mrs. Emilie Faulkner, a widow, and
her brother, Captain George Lante, a
boat builder. Lante and his sister had
gone out to his houseboat with a store
of provisions for a party. It is pre
sumed they were returning to the
shore when the storm broke and cap
sized their little skiff. The third
death was in Jersey City, where a fall
en live wire electrocuted David Clark.
Losses aggregating more than $100,
000 were caused by fires set by light
ning strokes. It is estimated that $50,
000 damage was done at Flushing, L.
I., where 25,000 men and women were
within a big enclosure witnessing a
society circus. Twelve large tents
were leveled by the wind and in the
stampede which followed, six women
were trampled and taken to the hos
pital.
At Coney Island, tents and shacks
erected on the site of the recent fire
were blown down and some whirled
out to sea. At Paterson, N. J., 200 big
trees were uprooted, carrying down
with them electric light and trolley
wires, leaving the city without light
or car service for several hours.
Hail Storm at Pittsburg.,
Pittsburg, June 12.—Following a day
of intense heat, which caused six
deaths and upwards of a score of
prostrations, a severe electrical, wind
and hail storm visited this city and
western Pennsylvania. Wire commun
ication is interrupted. Much damage
resulted throughout the northern por
tion of the state. In this city the
storm was especially severe. During
the day the temperature registered 93
degrees in the government weather
office, located on the twenty-sixth floor
of a skyscraper, while the government
kiosk on the street registered 99 de
grees.
BIG CAR STRIKE THREATENS.
Philadelphia Street Railway Employes
Likely to Join Locomotive Builders.
Philadelphia, Pa.', June 12. Local
members of the Amalgamated associa
tion of Street and Electric railway
employes are likely to join forces
with the striking locomotive builders
from Baldwin's locomotive works, ac
cording to a rumor following a con
ference between leaders of the street
car men and heads of the organiza
tions on strike at Baldwins.
Labor leaders assert that there is
a community of interest between the
carmen and the Baldwin employes,
stating that since the recent reorgan
ization of the locomotive company the
same financial interests are in control
of the two companies.
The street car men some time ago
demanded that their pay be increased
from 23 cents to 28 cents an hour.
Their leaders, however, persuaded
them to await the re-organization of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com
pany, which was then pending. When
Thomas E. Mitten of Chicago, last
week assumed the management of the
company he declared that the com
pany could not afford the increase,
but the leaders of the street car men
state that they believe they can con*
vince him that an increase can be
made.
The Central Labor union indorsed
the strike at the Baldwin Locomotive
works and pledged assistance to the
strikers. National officers of the va
rious unions are here to advise the
men.

London, June 12.r—The great naval
review of King George at Spithead,
June 24, will see gathered together in
full commission the largest number of
vessels of the Dreadnaught class ever
assembled.
Most of them naturally will be units
of the British navy, but the United
States will be represented by the most
powerful, up-to-date battleship partici
pating in the review, the Delaware,
which is considered in naval circles to
typify the latest ideas of battleship
construction. The system adopted in
her case of placing the five turrets in

ships of the Dreadnaught type that
will be in line on review day. These
are the Colossus, Hercules, Neptune,
St. Vincent, Collingwood, Vanguard,
Belerophone, Temeraire, Superb and
Dreadnaught. To these will be added
four cruisers of the Invincible class,
the Indefatigable, Invincible, Inflexible
and Indomitable.
Germany is the only other nation to
send a Dreadnought. This will be the
Von Der Tann, declared to be the
fastest warship in the world. The
other foreign naval powers are send
ing vessels of the pre-Dreadnaught
class, although in some instances they
are of quite recent construction.
Nations and Their Vessels.
France will be represented by the
Danton, Japan by Kurama, Austria by
the Radetzky, Italy by the San Marco,
Russia by the Rossiya, Spain by the
Reina Regente, Argentina by the Bue

be represented by small coast defense
vessels.
All the vessels present at the re
view, including the foreign warships
and passenger ships with spectators,
will be moored in lines, supplemented
by shorter lines for the torpedo boats
and submarines. The boundaries of
the review ground enclose an area of
about 18 square miles. There will
be 170 British war vessels of various
types present.
The king and queen will pass
through the lines on board the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert, which will
be accompanied by two other royal
yachts, the Alexandra and the Alberta.
As the royal yacht approaches each
vessel in line, a salute will be fired
and at the same time the shore batter
ies will join in the greeting.

STILL DECLARES HIS INN0CENSE
Examiners Probe Realty Purchases
and Search For Money.—
Preliminary Report
Soon.
Minneapolis, June 12.—Opportunity
to Justify his accounts with the re
ported discoveries of discrepancies by
the public examiner will be given to
J. D. Bren, deposed treasurer of the
University of Minnesota, who has been
invited to be present with his attor
neys, Norton Cross and M. C. Brady,
while F. N. Stacy, deputy public ex
aminer, delves deeper into the books.
Mr. Stacy asserts that he has failed
to find $9,000 in certificates of deposit
which he declares Bren told him had
been cashed. On the other hand, he
says that the money is still in the
bank, and in view of the absence of
the certificates, he has stopped pay
ment on the paper, which would mean
that if they had been turned over to
anyone as collateral they are useless
from sow on.
Mr. Bren still appears satisfied with
the progress of the case and voices his
firm belief of vindication, not only in
the eyes of the law, but before the
public, whom he says has been mis
lead by reports given out by the po
lice.
Realty Purchase Probed.
Sunday Mr. Stacy, together with de
tectives, took a long automobile trip
about the city. It was reported that
they were looking up several recent
real estate purchases said to have been
made by the deposed treasurer, and
another report was to the effect that
the detectives, with a search warrant,
had gone to the home of Samuel Bren,
the father of the deposed treasurer!
near Hopkins. Minn., and searched the
premises in hopes of finding papers
or hidden money. The detectives did
not report at police headquarters and
no verification of these reports was
to be had.
The deputy public examiners com
pared some of their notes for the ben
efit of the several members of the
board of regents whose homes they
visited. Mr. Stacy says that he is not
in a position to report any increase or
decrease in the shortage which the ex
aminers claim to have found in Bren's
accounts.
Preliminary Report.

lowed by a more detailed examination

aminations of the university accounts

been recommendations that changes
be made in the systems employed in

tions and agricultural schools through

ducted by more than one person and
in a manner which made frequent ex
aminations most arduous tasks.

Chicago Grain.
Chicago, June 12.—Rains and cooler
weather in Nebraska led to a rush of
selling In the wheat pit here and caused
prices to suffer a decided setback.
There was little support, except from
scattered shorts and resting commis
sion orders. Presssure increased be
cause of continued favorable crop ad
vices from Europe and Argentine. The
bears were aided also by predictions
of a let-up In the hot wave throughout
Kansas. At the opening the market
was the same as last night to %c down.
July started at 91 %c to 92c, unchanged
to %c off, and fell to 91c.
The fact that offerings became light
prevented much additional falling off
in price.
The close, however, was easy, with
July %c net lower at 54 %c.
Promise of moisture In the west gave
corn a downturn. Longs were unload
ing freely. July opened to %e lower
at 55 to 56%c and dropped to 54%c.
Heavy and general selling of oats
resulted from fear of rains over Sun
day. It looked as though longs wore
getting out. July started at last night's
level to %o lower at 38 to 38%e aad
descended to 37 %c.
