Senate Turns Down Four Ohio
Postmasters.
F0RAKER AND DICK CROW
V nfavorable RcpoTt by Dick Prompt
ly Adopted Amid Merriment.
Fire-Alarm Goes Orr About
Political Bargains.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. During the
executive session of the Senate today
for the- purpose of confirming Presi
dential appointments, the nominations
of four Ohio postmasters were defeat
ed ' at the Instance of Forakcr and
Pick. The nominations were reported
unfavorably by the postofflce commit
tee. Dick made the report from that
committee, and on motion of Foraker
the Senate immediately took action by
sustaining the committee report.
Taiere was no vote, the names be
ing acted upon In the usual manner
by the Vice-President's putting the
question and assuming silence as an
affirmative. Foraker, However, broke
the silence after the names were re
jected by moving that the President
he immediately notified of the Senate's
action. His sally caused considerable
merriment.
In commenting tonight Foraker said
"There will be no further prostitu
tion' of Federal patronage In order to
carry out political bargains without
Its being resented. There will be more
objections to nominations, wherever it
is found that the appointments were
made in pursuance of a political com
pact." , .
STIl.Ii HURUYIXG COKTEIA'OU
Democratic Senators Insist on
Knowing About Bids for Bonds.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14. The recent
bond issue by the Treasury Department
was again the subject of discussion in
the Senate today, being brought forward
by a resolution offered by Culberson,
calling upon" the Secretary for additional
Information concerning the reasons that
Induced him to award bonds to National
banks instead of individuals who, he
declared, offered a higher price than was
bid by the banks.
Aldrlch insisted that the resolution
should not be adopted until after Secre
tary Cortelyou's reply to a resolution
formerly adopted by" the Senate was re
ceived, but promised to aid in securing
additional information If that reply
should not cover the several phases of
the controversy that bad been brought
out. Culberson's resolution went over
under the rules."
Tillman offered a resolution embodying
a new series of inquiries concerning the
financial situation.
PENAi CODE BILL, MAKES TALK
Amount of Fine' Causes Lengthy De
bate in House.
WASHINGTON, Jan'. 14. The amount
of the fine and the length of the term of
imprisonment to be meted out to officers
and directors of corporations for violatr
lng the law with respect to money con
tributions for political purposes furnished
material for a lengthy debate in the
House today, in connection with the con
sideration of the penal code bill. AH
amendments to Increase the penalty or
enlarge the scope of the law, however,
were voted down. These amendments,
without exception, emanated from the
Democratic side, hut the one that brought
forth the most discussion was by Cock
ran, New York, who wanted the fine
fixed at $10,000 instead of not more than
J1O0O, and the Imprisonment at 10 years
Instead of not more than one year.
Payne, of New York, the Republican
floor leader, charged that the "Democrats
and not the Republicans were prevent
ing the passage of the- bill, by indulging
In political buncombe. His colleague,
Fitzgerald, refuted the charge and said
that the, Democrats were only seeking to
Improve on the bill.
Earlier in the day there was a sharp
debate over the section prohibiting the
enticing of artificers and workmen from
Government arsenals or armories by pri
vate employers. All attempts to amend
the provision so as to make it applicable
only in time of war or public emergency
were voted down.
When adjournment was taken at &
o'clock 86 sections of the 342 had been
disposed of.

CANAL COST $300,000,000
Goethals' Raises Estimate Could
Save on Eight-Hour ' Day.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. Colonel
Goethals gave his estimate of the cost
of the Panama Canal to the Senate
committee on lnter-oceanc canals to
day. Answering a rapid fire of Ques
tions by all of the members of the
committee, Colonel Goethals said he
had no doubt that the lock system, as
against the sea-level plan, was the
best.
He declared .that. If Congress would
abolish the eight-hour law, he -would
get 20 per cent more work out of the
men.
Asked to give an estimate of the
probable total cost of the Canal, he said
he had placed the limit at $250,000,000.
Answering a question, he said this esti
mate did not include the J4O.3OO.OJ0
purchase price paid by the United
States to the Government of Panama,
nor the $10,000,000 similarly paid to
Panama, therefore, the total computed
cost would be $300,000,000.

HER LIFE WRECKED
Nevada Beauty Ends It by
Turning On Gas Jet.
TWO MONTHS FINISH RUIN
Infatuated With-Brutal Saloonkeep
er,' She Marries Him He Beats
Her and She Becomes a
Social Outcast.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah., Jan. 14.
Beginning with a secret marriage, the
wreck of a young girl's life moved quick
ly to its tragic end In the gas-filled room
of a State-street resort today. Surround
ed by pictures of herself taken in child
hood, Bessie Conley, formerly of Reno,
Nev., died from asphyxiation, and, the
theory of suicide is generally accepted.
Until two months ago Bessie Hammond
was one of the brightest, handsomest and
most popular girls in Nevada. ' Her
parents idolized her and she was engaged
to marry a prosperous business man. She
met Joseph Conley, keeper of a saloon
at Cobre, Nev. Her infatuation for him
prevailed over the " opposition of her
parents and she left home, taking a po
sition as stenographer in Ogden, Utah.
Her mother followed her to Ogden and
was preparing to take her to California,
when the girl slipped away, met Conley
and was married to him.
That was two months ago. A month
latera Conley assaulted and beat her In
the . street at Ogden. In another week
the hapless bride was living with a drug
clerk In Salt Lake. He lacked the means
to support her and she was forced to the
last downward step 10 days ago. . Her 18
years of life closed with a night of mad
frivolity and the turning of a gas jet.

nation." , x
Mr. Koehler sard he set down many of
Thaw's eccentricities in a diary which he
had destroyed ten years ago. Thaw's
mind always worked slowly. His mind
was Irrational.
Cross-examined by Mr. Jerome, Mr.
Koehler said -200 boys came under his care
at Wobster and since that time as a
teacher he had been thrown in contact
with 1500 boys or more. The witness in
sisted, However, that the memory of
Thaw, a pale-faced, twitching lad. stood
out above the others.
Mr. Koehler said he had once used
Thaw's case as an Illustration. He was
asked where and when and to whom.
"To a boy umed Bingham," began
the witness.
"What Bingham demanded Mr. Je
rome. "The Police Commissioner."
Thaw himself joined in the general
laughter
Escapade at Monte Carlo.
Robert H. Chase, superintendent of the
Friends' Asylum for the Insane near Phil
adelphia, where Harriet Alice Thaw, a
paternal aunt of the acpused. Is con
fined, was the first witness at the after
noon session. Invoking again the confi
dential relations of physician and patient,
Mr. Jerome prevented the witness from
Baying what the mental condition was.
Mrs. Amy Gozette, the trained nurse
who attended Harry Thaw at Monte Carlo
in 1897, followed Dr. Chase. She said that
while under her care and with a tem
perature of 104 degrees. Thaw dressed
himself one day and stole out. He was
gone two hours and came bac In a
highly nervous condition. Mrs. Gozette
said that while Thaw was under her care
he impressed her as being distinctly irra
tional. II. L. Green, a v newspaper man, who
witnessed the tragedy and testified last
year that Thaw acted in a thoroughly ir
rational manner, described Thaw's ap
pearance as "badly mussed up" and Irra
tional. He was "with B. Hanley, another
newspaper man, who testified that Thaw
was irrational.
Here Mr. Littleton asked for adjourn
ment until tomorrow because of the non
arrival of certain out-of-town witnesses,
and It was granted.

ported. The Arthur Sewall was an American
ship and was the last of the famous
American clipper ships. She was built
at Bath, Me., in 189 by Arthur Sewall
