Lovering Adds Chapter
to Canal Story.
PLOT TO HOLD UP CROMWELL
World's Charges Fathered by
Gang of ex-Convicts.
THEIR DEMANDS SCORNED
Friend of Canal Lawyer Causes Sen
sation In House hj Tteveallng
Origin of Rainey's Charge.
Rainey Promises Reply.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. That Rainey
of Illinois got from the New Tori 'World
his Information regarding the Panama
Canal affairs, which formed the subject
of his recent speech, and that ex-con-vlcts
invented the stories of fraud and
corruption pertaining to the acquirement
of title by the United States to the prop
erty was the charge made in the House
by levering of Massachusetts.
-Maybe," he said, "the "World did not
originate all the scandalous stories it
published, but Its columns were public
and we do know that the World .did
give credence and circulation to them."
Chapter of Blackmailing.
Lovering declared that "the perpe
trators of these false statements are
known and the story of their doings re
veal a chapter in the history of black
mailing that is rare in thy annals of
crime.
"These gentlemen." he said, "are
known. Their names are known; their
aliases are known; their haunts are
known: their plans are known."
"Does the gentleman object to stating
who they are?" inquired Burleson of
Texas.
Lovering protested that he was labor
ing umfr great difficulties because of
the absence of Rainey from the cham
ber, lie admitted that he did, not no
tify the Illinois member that he was to
speak on this subject.
Many Are ex-Convicts.
"I want to say," he said, "that these
men have been run down nnd brought
to book, and it turns out that many of
them are ex-convicts, and they ttand a
good chance of returning to the peni
tentiary." He was pressed by Shackleford of Mis
souri for information as to who these
convicts were, but Lovering would go
no further than to state that before long
they would be produced in court. Their
names, he said, had been brought before
the grand Jury, both at Washington and
at New Tork, and at the proper time
would become known to the general
public.
AVarm Friend of Cromwell.
"How do you happen to be familiar
with the secrets of the grand Juries?"
asked Shackleford, but before he could
answer Gaines of Tennessee inquired if
he were not a warm personal friend "of
William Nelson Cromwell. Lovering ad
mitted that he was.
Responding to. questions by Shackle
ford, the Massachusetts member said he
personally was not a client of Mr. Crom
well, but that he was a member of a
corporation that had retained Ills ser
vices. He refuses to say how long Mr.
Cromwell had been so employed. He
merely stated that he was not putting
himself in the position of being Interro
gated by a court of Justice.
Further referring to Rainey, Lover
ing said:
"This gentleman has been made a
victim or he is too willing to asperse
such fair names as those of Charles
P. Taft, Douglas Robinson, William
Nelson Cromwell, Roger Farnham and
several others."
Lovering Called to Order.
It was, he said, a "shameless prosti
tution" of the privilege of free speech
which members enjoyed on the floor
of the House.
For this utterance, ' Lovering was
promptly called to order by Lawrence,
of Massachusetts, his colleague, who
was in the chair.
Lovering protested that he had men
tioned no names except that of Rainey
and those which had been spoken of
In the House and in the public press.
Calls Rainey to Hear.
Upon the suggestion of Gaines, of
Tennessee, that Rainey had been sent
for and that the speech should proceed
no further until he had arrived. Lov
ering yielded the floor temporarily.
After waiting a reasonable time and
Rainey not returning to the chamber,
Lovering resumed his remarks. He
had not proceeded far when he was
told that the Illinois member, who was
scheduled to make a Lincoln speech in
Baltimore, had been overtaken at the
railroad station and was on his way
to the House. Lovering again suspend
ed his remarks.
In a short time Rainey entered the
chamber and stated that his Baltimore
engagement would prevent his remain
ing throughout Lovering" remarks, but
that he later would make an answer
should he find it necessary.
Continuing, Lovering declared that
the evidence was "complete and suf-

STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Feb. 12.
(Special.) With an appropriation total of
nearly 14,000,000 staring the Legislature in
the face, the members are trying to de
vise ways of trimming the budget, but not
as yet with much success, since the trim
ming must necessarily affect the pet
items of somebody.
From a week-ahead survey of the finish
it appears that the total cannot be re
duced below $3,700,000. It may exceed
$4,000,000, 'but probably not. . .
If any onslaught Is to be made, the ob
ject of attack will be the Agricultural
College, for which the ways and means
committees have recommended $460,000 for
the biennial period; the Monmouth, Ash
land and Weston normal schools, for
which the House has passed a bill con
veying $106,000 each, under Instruction
of the House; the Crater Lake road.jfor
Which the House has passed a bill carry
ing $100,000; the Seattle Exposition, for
which the ways and means committees
have recommended $25,000, and the pro
posed new asylum at Pendleton, for which
Eastern Oregon wants $200,000, but which
will probably be reported adversely.

Peculations From Family Sare
Amount to $50,000 Plot
ting Relatives Arrested.
CHICAGO, Feb. 12. Special.) Because
scheming relatives told 19-year-old Ange
lina Schiavone that they would get her a
rich and handsome husband who would
house her in a palace If she. would give
them money, the girl, who is a cripple and
mentally deficient, stole over $50,000 from
her ..father's safe. All day today the po
lice have been searching for the money,
but though the girl furnished them with
a notebook containing the dates on which
she abstracted the funds, in amounts
varying from $50 to $500, the detectives
have as yet been unable to discover any
of it, or even to trace lis expenditure by
her relatives.
As a result of the peculations, of which
Pasquale Schiavone often complained,
but never suspected .his daughter, the
uncle of the girl, Francisco Schiavone
and five members of his family have been
arrested, the girl's brother being the com
plainant. The uncle and his family have
been released on an aggregate ball of $21,
000 and will plead to the charges against
them tomorrow.
Angelina lived with her.- father and
brother, the former conducting a small
private bank and jewelry store; an em
ployment agency and a steamship office
all in the same building. He conducted
his business In the simplest way and kept
all his funds lnan old-fashioned" safe in
his private office. To this the girl had
free access, but the father never dreamed
that she was robbing him. Finally the
stolen amount became so large that his
son notified the police, and they caught
the girl In the act of removing $300 from
the safe last night.
Angelina is heartbroken, not at the ex
tent of her crime, of which she fails to
realize the seriousness, but because she
fears now she will never see the fancied
lover of her dreams and never Jive in a
palace.

QUOTE CASH PRICE AS PROOF
Premiums on Quick Delivery
Rising Rapidly.
LITTLE GRAIN IN DAKOTAS
Forecast of European Demand Is
Tending to Alarm Even Con
servative Faction, Who ,
Blame Speculation.'
CHICAGO, Feb. 12. (Special.) That
there is an actual shortage of the world's
wheat supply and that this, more than
speculative manipulation, is responsible fcr
the present phenomenal rise In wheat quo
tatons, is the impression that is rapidly
gaining ground here. While at the pres
ent state of the market It Is difficult to
form 'an aocurato estimate of conditions,
many points are cited in support of this
contention. One of the leading bits of
evidence in support of this is the steady
Increase in premiums that millers are
being forced to pay for cash wheat; prem
iums which have been advancing lately
even more rapidly than have the quota
tions for May delivery.
Another Indication of the strength of
the higher-price position Is the wide mar
gin between May wheat and that for
July and September. Latest quotations in
the Chicago market show a premium of
J2 cents for the May over July, and 17
cents over September. "With May $1.13 and
a fraction, prices here have reached the
highest level since the Gates deal in
April. 1905.
Millers Sufrcr Much.
Millers who use red Winter wheat are
getting a hard dose wherever the current
necessities oblige them to go into the
open market for that sort of grain. They
are forced to buy it, onthe basis of the
Chicago May delivery, and its premiums
show a remarkable tendency to move up
ward in practically independent fashion.
Even the alluring prices prevalent have
not coaxed the grain to the fore. Kansas
City's supply of red "Winter wheat Is
coming from Nebraska largely. Texas,
Oklahoma, Colorado and California are,
buying wheat from Kansas City. Chicago
has shipped wheat to St. Louis this week.
Local elevators were drawn upon for sup
plies by Indiana, Michigan and Illinois
millers.
In the Northwest a large quantity of
wheat sold by the country in December
for February shipment Is coming for
ward. This has averted a decrease In
stocks at Minneapolis, but that the visi
ble supply is fast decreasing 13 the gen
eral trade belief here. The milling trade
may easily expand in the near future,
as the flour trade seems on the verge of
shifting from its holding-back policy.
Interior mills of Kansas are paying
premiums over the Kansas City market
for their supplies. Receipts at Toledo
continue small in spite of the values

HODGENVILLE, Ky Fob. 12 Hence
forth the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln
is to be marked by a pile of stone. The
emancipator of a race and. more than
that, the liberator of the thought of a
Nation, bullded his own monument in
the heart of the world, and apropriately
the physical structure that has now
found a beginning at the place where
Lincoln first saw the light takes the sim
ple name of a memorial. It Is to be -a
simple but classic building of granite
and It is hoped that It may be completed
some time next Fall, when the then
President, W. H. Taft. will officiate In
dedicating it, as the President, Theodore
Roosevelt, today officiated in laying its
foundation-stone.
Both Races and Parties Speak.
The cornerstone-laying took place after
appropriate forensic ceremonies were par
ticipated in by the President, Governor
A. E. Willson. of Kentucky; ex-Governor
Joseph W. Folk, of Missouri, president
of the Lincoln Farm Association; Hon.
Luke E. Wright, Secretary of War, who
Is an ex-Confederate soldier; General
Grant Wilson, of New York, who repre
sented the Union soldiers, and I. T.
Montgomery, of Mississippi, a negro and
an ex-slave. With one exception, the
orators, representing not only the con
flicting sides in the great struggle, but
the present generation as well, the two
great parties, the white and black races
and the different sections of the country,
spoke from the same platform and with
the same flag, a splendid new specimen
