Beaumont who arrived yesterday, is resting preparatory to essaying the th'rd and last stage, from Rome to Turin a distance of 630 kilometers (391 miles). Garros has a bad shoulder from the wrecking of his aeroplane near Pisa yesterday. He made the trip from Pisa here, nearly collapsing when he landed. Beaumont, hearing of his arrival, rushed to greet him. The vast crowd burst Into cheers when the friendly rivals appeared on the balcony grasp ing hands. It is probable that Beau mont will start on the last leg of the Journey before Garros, who. If he continues tomorrow, will do so only vy reason of sheer grit. Frey, tho German representative, who also iva.i injurtd by the wreck ing of his machine near Pisa, is still await'ng a new machine there. Vidert flew from Nice to Genoa In about three hours. From the latter place he flew direct to I'isa and start ed for Rome, but was compelled to land at Ceclna, about 25 miles from Pisa. In landing, the left wing of his aeroplane was broken.

Rain falls downwards and hens lay eggs trees have leaves and hus bands have wives and even today the small boy instinctively becomes pos sessed of that old spring fever and longs to crawl under the canvas when tlie circus comes to town. The Sells-Floto circus opened up at Pendleton this morning. It Is the lirst to arrive this season and it is sufficient to say that it is one of the cleanest and best conducted attrac tions that ever visited this city. Gorgeous was the "grand free street j rarade" that wound In and out i through the streets in the morning, Ladies and gentlemen dre.ssed i : tights of vividness sat in red cages surrounded by lions and tigers; and I the bands crashed and the trumpets brayed. There wera gentlemen jockeys and lady jockeys and knights and elephants fourteen elephants led by a big girl named Mamma, who gets rough If you tease her, and horses with shiny coats of satin; and more bands and camels draped in tlnulir. i-nrl tnsQdlc Viril. liner pirlrt : " . .

There was a good old fashioned circusy smell about the big tent when you seated yourself on the "blues" early in the afternoon to enjoy the show the combined odors of trampl ed grass and weeds, baled hay, roast ing peanuts, toasting popcorn, chop ped up clay and all the delightful smells that get together to make a hard worked country circus lot the thing of joy that it is. Prof. English's brass band of forty was playing "johnphilipsousas" beau tifully in the twilight of the interior, Just to the left of the dressing tent entrance, the spot selected by all cir cus bands that are onto their jobs. And when all was ready there was an expectant hush as the curtains part ed to disclose the wonders of fairy land. Out they came upon the turf to show folks what the programme describes simply as the Grand Turn ament, a glorious illuminated page (Continued on page two.)

I il CASE TO BE AGAIN INVESTIGATED PREDICTED THAT LOR1MER WILL RESIGN JUXE 30 Inquiry Will lie Conducted by a Suh- committee of the Committee on Privileges and Elections Discus sion Among Politicians. Washington, June 2. The news i papers today published a prediction ! that Lorimer would resign before June 30 as a result of the senate's vote yesterday for a second investiga- i tion of his election. The report caus- ed a widespread discussion among politicians. They declare the fight to retain his seat would be almost use less us it embarrasses his friends so long as '.he matter Is before the pub lic. The inquiry will be conducted by a subcommittee of the committee on privileges and elections, composed of four republicans and four democrats, four of whom voted for the conviction and four for the acquittal of the sen ator last session. The method selected is regarded a3 the latest thing in jury trials. ' It took seven hours debate to agree upon the system and it was finally adopted by a vote of 48 to 20, being substituted for the plan urged by Senator LaFollette, or turning the case over to five senators who were not members when the case was voted upon before, and therefore, were sup posed to be unbiased. Before the vote was taken. Senator Bristow, who favored the LaFollette plan, accused Senator Dillingham, the chairman of the election committee, of having capitulated. In the interest of a democratic scheme of turning the investigation over to a subcom mittee. This charge was based upon the fact that the author of the reso lution adopted was Senator Martin, the democratic leader. Mr. Bristow also claimed that the old guard repub licans had formed an alliance with the democrats and that they had piaccl the mantle of "Aldrich" on the shoulders of Martin. j That the committee on privileges! and election hall shirked its duty in j the former investigation, was charged unreservedly by the supporters of the j LaFoliet'.e resolution. Senator Lea . ; Tenni si-ee, sai l he would no more turn the ise over to the elections committee for another trial than he , ,,, i Sl,i,niit to a second operation; for appendicitis by a surgeon who had tailed on the first operation to locate the appendix.

I PUSH WOOL TIBIFF BILL House Majority Leaders Act ively Planning to Put Meas ure Through at Once BRYAN'S ADVICE NOT WANTED BY COMMITTEE It Is Believed Tliut Differences la Puit May Result In Setback of Chump Clark's Presidential Boom Bryan Comments on Action of Caucus. Washington, D. C, June 2. Th majoiity leaders of the house today are actively plann'ng to put the Un derwood tariff bill through at the earliest possible moment. It Is gen erally believed that it will pass with out delay now that the turbulent cau cus of the democrats unanimously adopted the measure at midnight. The caucus lasted 12 hours. The resolu tion adopted pledges all the house democrats save Rucker of Colorado, Ashbrook, Francis and Sharp of Ohio, and Gray of Ind'ana, as a rev enue mesasure, but it specifically left open the party's advocacy of free trade In wool to future settlement. Under the measure 20 per cent adva lorum will be assessed against the foreign wool. During the caucus the Bryan fol lowers presented the amendments for free raw wool, but finally a compro mise was effected when it was agreed that they would be settled after wards. Bryan Not Heeded. The action of the democratic cau cus in endorsing the Underwood tariff schedule is regarded as a notice to Bryan to keep his hands off. It la believed by many that this may re sult in the setback of Champ Clark's presidential boom. Bryan holds Clark responsible for the desertiom of the free wool idea, and it is be lieved that the commoner's friend will fight against Clark's nomination. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee, freely stated to day that the democrats don't want Bryan's advice. Bryan Slakes Comment. Minneapolis, William J. Bryan, commenting on the endorsement of the Underwood wool bill by the cau cus lobby, said that the democrats are responsible to the country. He de clared that tne matter of free vt. protected wool was fought out on a false basis. He said: "I think the party would have done better If it had honestly declared for the protec tion on wool. The declaration that it has not surrendered the free wool dotrine adds an insult to the in jury." Introduced Today. The Underwood wool tariff bill wa introduced In the house today by Burleson of Texas, who had the plac ing of duty on wool necessary through the "depletion of the treasury caused by republican extravagance." The house adjourned until Tuesday. XAVATj ACADEMY GRADUATES WILL GO ON CRUISE Annapol's, Mil.. June 2.
