The Capitol investigating commis
sion held a brief session at Harris
burg, Pa., on Saturday for the taking
rf testimony. The reports of the ex
perts of the commission were read.
The report of the auditors will be pre
sented this week and will show in de
tall how the $9,000,000 used In furnish
ing and decorating the Capitol was ex
pended. . The report of Fritz J. Lautz of Buf
falo, the commission's expert on mar
ble, shows that In many instances the
profits of J. H. Sanderson of Philadel
phia on murble work exceeded 1,000
pur cent. Mr. Lautz states that the
columns in the hall of the house of
representatives are mere composition,
instead of Mycean marble, as specified.
Plaster was substituted for marble in
some places and niches that should
hare been ornamented were made
plain. A cheap grade of marble was
substituted for the marble specified
for the bases of the metallic filing
cases throughout the building.
The report shows that Sanderson
Biinplled the marble fountain for $820,
the value of which is $175; a mantel
for $1,700.40, the value of which Is $80;
another mantel for $1,784.80, the value
of which is $200; and that he collect
ed $75,010.80 for marble work, the
value of which is $7,207. Sanderson's
total overcharges on marble work
were $184,092.40.
The total overcharges of the Penn
sylvania Construction company on
marble bases, etc., were $39,020.51.
Township Builds a Theater. - '
"liat is believed to be the first pub
lic ownership theater in the United
States was dedicated with great cere
mony In Shawnee towlishlp, just west
of the city of Lima, O.
The playhouse Is in the country,
where large audiences will be prac
tically impossible, but is perfectly
equipped with the most modern ap
paratus. The Shawnee township government
is unique in that It has more money
than it can conveniently get rid of.
The Standard Oil company's great
tanks, refineries and car works are in
tho township, though the workers live
In the city. The company pays many
thousands of dollars yearly to the
township in 'taxes, but nothing to the
city. Consequently the township is
burdened with wealth, though the city
is not.
Having paved all the country roads
In the township either with brick or
macadam, and made all the other
publfc Improvements they could think
of, the farmer members of the town
ship board finally decided to"bulld the
theater., What they will do with next
year's revenue is a problem.
Laud Moyer and Haywood. '.
Frederick Kraft of Jersey City was
nominated at Trenton, N. J., as the So
cialist candidate for governor next
fall. He is editor of The Worker, a
Socialist paper published In New York.
The convention sent a telegram to
Moyer aild Haywood ut Boise City as
suring thfiiu that in future history
they would lie rated with Lincoln, John
Brown and Karl Marx as emancipators.
Later a resolution was adopted that a
copy of the telegram be. sent to "The
Undesirable Person at Washington."
Tho man who Introduced it assured
the convention that the telegram would
be delivered to the person for whom
it was intended.
Another resolution criticised the So
cialists of New York upon the ground
that they are controlled by bosses,
lack tho membership they should have
and are not sufficiently active in
spreading tho doctrines of soclullsm.
Snowstorm on June 2.
Snow fell in New York the first Sun
day in the month of June. The flukes
ii not fall as snow all the way to the
pavements, but coming from a colder
stratum of air they swirled about the
tops of tho skyscrapers and before
dissolving added a midwinter touch
to the most remarkable June 2 that
Kew Yorkers have known. '
At the local weather bureau, where
a conservative view is always taken,
the day was admitted to be the cold
est recorded here for the 2nd of .Tune.
A stiff breeze accompanied with a
heavy rainfall, prevailed throughout,
the day, which was about as cheerless
as cduld be imagined. Holiday excur
sions were generally abandoned and
the pleasure resorts were without pat
rons. Agrarian Riots In Ireland.
The latest phase of the land agita
tion in the congested districts of Ire
land is a crusade against the holders
of grazing farms on the 11 months'
lease system, and it is developing with
great rapidity and Intensity.
Roscommon, King's county and
North Tlpperary- are the centers of
lawlessness. In bygone times these
localities saw many evictions, and to
day the peasants are determined that
the land shall be redistributed to small
holders.
Band3 of peasants are destroying
gates and fences and clearing the
grazing ranches of cattle, which they
drive back over, miles of country to the
farms of the owners.
There have been serious conflicts
between tho police and the peasants,
and many persons on both sides have
beon Injured.
Wisconsin-Syracuse Race.
Wisconsin university won the 'var
slty boat race with Syracuse on Lake
Mendota Friday evening, and the Syra
cusans won the four oared race. The
wees could not be rowed until after
sundown, on account of choppy seas.
Syracuse's four crossed the line al
most five lengths ahead, the time be
ing estimated at 15 minutes. Bartelt
and Brumder of Wisconsin seemed ex
hausted. The 'varsity crews kept about
abreast of each other for a mile and
half, although Syracuse had slightly
the lead at the start Wisconsin then
gained a little and gradually Increased
the lead. The crew crossed the line
about four lengths ahead of Syracuse,
covering the two miles in 10:34.
To Boost Price of Bread.
- A smaller loaf or a cent advance
seems to be the next jar for the
harrassed housekeeper, judging from
the way millers are boosting the
price of flour at Chicago, which has
climbed from $4.50 to $6 a barrel in
about 30 days. "It Is due to the ad
vance in the price of wheat," said a
representative of the Plllsbury-Wash-burn
company. Members of the Board
of Trade, however, say there has been
little advance in the price of real
wheat that the increase has been the
result of manipulations and doctored
reports, and Is all on paper. Grain
elevators are full of wheat, with prac
tically no shipments.

have a new trial under a decision
handed down by the appellate divis
ion of the supreme court. In the de
cision, written by Justice Ingraham, it
Is held that the testimony as a whole,
as presented against Burnham in the
lower court, does not justify convic
tion. It adds thut errors were com
mitted both in ruling upon questions
of evidence and in the method by
which the case was submitted to the
jury.

IRISH BILU1P PED,
Announcement by Premier, Sir
Campbell-Bannerman.
Measure Designed to Relieve "Passive
Resistera" From Paying Education
Rates Is Also Crowded Out Resolu
tion to Be Introduced Soon to Re
strict Power of the House of Lords.
London, June 4. The Irish bill was
lorinally dropped by the government
with scant ceremony and only the
most perfunctory signs of mourning,
even on the part of its ministerial
spon sors.
The house of commons was well fill
ed when Premier Campbell-Bannerman
rose to make his promised state
ment on the cabinet's views regarding
what measures it was necessary to
eliminate from the government's over
weighted legislative program so that
the present session might be brought
to a close in the usual time.
"I believe," said the premier, "that
the Irish people would have done well
to give the details of the measure
greater attention than appears to have
been the case at the recent convention.
But in view of the announcement of
the leader of the Irish party In the
house of commons that he would abide
by the decision of the convention and
In view of the unanimous decision of
the convention to reject the bill, the
government cannot of course go any
further with It."
The premier added that the decision
of tne representatives of the Irish
people was a source of sincere regret
and disappointment to the ministers,
but now that the Irish bill was dropped
the government Intended to introduce
during the present session an "evicted
tenant's restoration bill" with powers
of compulsory purchase.
As the cabinet had decided against
an autumn session, the premier con
tinued,. It was necessary to drop the
licensing bill. This however, would
be the very first measure to be taken
up at the next session.
The measure designed to relieve the
"passive reslsters'' from paying educa
tion rates for religious instruction, the
premier further announced, would also
be crowded out, but the government
was determined to introduce at the
next session a comprehensive educa
tion bill, putting the whole education
system of the country in order.
Regarding the long promised at
tempt to restrict the power of the
house of lords, the premier said that
so soon as they had made a little fur
ther progress in the essential business
of the session he proposed to intro
duce a resolution on the subject either
June 17 or June 24, when the govern
ment would fully state its views on the
matter.
The premier then announced the
abandonment of a number of measures
of only domestic interest and enum
erated those which it was Intended to
pass, concluding with remarking:
"When I say 'pass' I mean 'pass the
honse of commons' as I cannot fore
cast what will be the action of the
house of lords."
State's Large Credit Balance.
Albany, June 4. A balance of state
funds of $20,645,897, the largest ever
before deposited to the credit of the
state, is reported for the month of
May by State Treasurer Hauser. The
state's receipts from indirect sources
of taxation during the month were
large, tho excise moneys aggregating
$8,707,000, which Is half a million more
than last year. The stock transfer
tax returned $53(1,000 and corporations
paid an aggregate of $537,000, twice as
much as for the corresponding month
of last year. State Comptroller Glynn
and State Treasurer Hauser have de
cided that the state funds shall net a
larger Interest return than heretofore
and banks holding state deposits will
be required to Increase the rate of in
terest on them from 2 to 3 per cent.
Big Demand For Japanese Laborers.
Ottawa, Ont., June 4. A report re
ceived ut tile department of trade and
commerce from Alexander MucLeuu,
Canada's agent to Japan, gives a press
opinion that within a short time tyie
United States will have wore difficulty
obtaining labor from Japan than it
now has keeping Japanese laborers
lut. There is a growing demand for
Japanese laborers from almost all the
countries of South America nnd from
Hawaii which promises, with the de
mand for men1 for the development of
Corea and Manchuria, to absorb the
whole of Japan's supply of laborers.
Within the last few months the emi
gration companies, who deal In Japa
nese labor sb an export commodity,
have filled contracts in Mexico f-r al
most 10,000 laborers.

INTERNATIONAL ISSUE.
British Captain Refused to Give Up
Deserter From Fort Seward.
Wasington, June 4. Colonel Henry
A. Greene of the Tenth infantry, com
manding at Fort William H. Seward,
Alaska, has appealed to the war de
partment to cause the arrest and re
turn of a deserter, and Incidentally to
punish the captain of a British ship
who perhaps has created an interna
tional issue.
According ta Colonel Greene, Ser
geant Buell, a member of the post
band, deserted from Fort Seward and
made his way on board the British
steamer Princess May. When the ship
touched at Katchlkan, Alaska, May 14
the city marshal, under Instructions
from the military authorities, sought
to arrrest Buell.
The latter locked himself In his
cabin and the captain of the ship re
fused to allow hlru to be forcibly ar
rested, and sailed away to a Canadian
port, where the deserter lauded and
disappeared.
Colonel Greene asks the war depart
ment to have the state department
make a demand upon the British gov
ernment for the return of the deser
ter to Fort Seward and for the punish'
ment of the captain.
The acting judge advocate general,
however, has taken the ground that
the military has no such authority and
if the effort is made to punish the
British captain it must be through the
civil authorities, who were derelict in
the first place, in not arresting both
the deserter and the captain If he re
slsted process within territorial wa
ters. RATE LITIGATION.
Call For Meeting of Governors and
Other Officials of Various States.
St. Paul, June 4. A meeting of gov
ernors, attorney generals and other
officials of various states likely to be
affected by the rate litigation now be-
fore the federal district court, may be
held in St. Paul shortly. Attorney Gen
eral Young is considering the advis
ability of sending out a general call.
Mr. Young says the suits are nothing
more than ail attack on state's rights,
and are important enough to warrant
general co-operation, especially by
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and New York,
tlfe legislatures of which have just
passed rate-regulating laws.
Another suit seeking to annul the
new Minnesota 2-cent passenger rate
law and the commodity freight law
was filed in federal court today against
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
railroad. John J. Carle, a stockholder,
is the plaintiff in the action, which is
Identical with those begun last week
by stockholders of eight other rail
roads doing Interstate business In Min
nesota. The hearing on the temporary in
junction granted in the suit previously
brought will be held June 12, when the
other cases are heard by Judge Loch

A looular bequest of David Hume to
