Moyer and Haywood Snowstorm on June 2 Wisconsin-Syracuse Races. $11,500 For Jersey Bull Trolley Collision. The Capitol investigating commis sion held a brief session at Harris burg, Pa., on Saturday for the taking Of 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 tail 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 marble work exceeded 1,000 per 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 have 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 supplied 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 or which Is $200; and that he collect ed $75,016.80 for marble work, the value of which Is $7,267. 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 $39,626.51. Township Builds a Theater; - ' What is bolieved to be the first pub lic ownership theater in the United States was dedicated with great cere mony in Shawnee township, 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 OH 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 brlcli or macadam, and made' all the other public Improvements they could think of, the farmer members of the town ship board finally decided to "build 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.

He Is editor of The Worker, a Socialist paper published In New YorJ The convention sent a telegrai Moyer aud Haywood at Boise City as suring thaui that in future history Uioy would do 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." The 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 the membership they should have and are not sufficiently active in spreading tho doctrines of socialism. Snowstorm on June 2. Snow fell in New York the first Sun day in the month of June. The flakes did not fall as snow all the way to the pavements, but, coming from a colder stratum of air they swirled about the tops of the skyscrapers and beforo dissolving added a midwinter touch to the most remarkable June 2 that New 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 June. A stiff breeze accompanied with a heavy rainfall, prevailed throughout, the day, which was about as cheerless as could be imagined. Holiday excur sions were generally abandoned and the pleasure resorts were without pat rons. Agrarian Riots Iti Ireland.

In bygone times these localities saw many evictions, and to day the peasants are determined that the land shall be redistributed to small holders. Bands of peasants are destroying 000 PERCENT PROFI gates and fences and clearing the grazing ranches of cattle, which tbey drive back over, miles of country to the farms of the owners. There have been Berlous conflicts between the police and the peasants, and many persons on both sides have beon Injured.

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 barrassed housekeeper, judging from the way millers are boosting the price of flour at Chicago, which has climbed from $4.50 to $0 a barrel in about 30 days. "It Is due to the ad vance In the price of wheat," said a representative of the Pillsbury-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.

Measure Designed to Relieve "Passive Registers" 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 formally dropped by the government with scant ceremony and only the most perfunctory signs of mourning, even on the part of its ministerial Bponsorsi 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," sold 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 the 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 sesslou. The measure designed to relieve the "passive reslsters'1 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 Bubject 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 house of commons' as I cannot fore cast what will be the action of the house of lords."

British Captain Refused to Give Up Deserter From Fort Seward. WaBlngton, 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 to 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. Wnen the ship touched at Katchikan, 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 r& fused to allow him to be forcibly ar rested, and sailed away to a Canadian port, where the deserter landed and disappeared. Colonel Greene asks the war depart merit 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 4.0 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 sisted process within territorial wa ters.
