Statistics to Wait. No statistics will be prepared until the Bprtng movement Is over, which will be about April 15, or possibly April 30.

Kniskern, passenger traffic man ager for the Northwestern, which line in itiates a great deal of the colonist move ment going over the Harrlman lines wost of Omaha, said that the California and Lower Oregon movement had been espe cially heavy up to date.

Havi ated Bond Issues Must Old Parties' Support. MILWAUKBH, Wis-., April 7. (Special.) A statistical fiend discovered today one grain of comfort for the adherents of old parties in the Milwaukee Socialist victory. The Socialists, while electing 21 out of 35 Aldermen, will not be able to pass any important bond issue without the support of the old "party members. The City Charter provides that it requires a three-quarters vote of the City Coun cil to order a poputar election ' on the issuance of bonds, and Socialists need 27 Aldermen to carry out any euch pro vision. 'The old parties, it now appears, are likely to carry out a plan of combina tion, by which the Republican and Demo cratic Aldermen will unite as a single party, an anti-Socialist party, to defeat any measures that require more than a majority of the county. The old parties, it is probable also, will not name independent candidates for president of the Common Council but will unite on Cornelius Corcoran, the present president, a Democrat who, by reason of the continued absence of Mayor Rose, was acting Mayor most of the last two years.

Expenses-' All Paid. Garrett of Tennessee (Dera.) for the committee questioned him .closely as to this. McCleary explained he always accepted the league's invitation to make addresses if he could get away at the time: that money not being a material consideration, he had not ' kept a memorandum; that sometimes months passed without his re ceiving any money from the league; that "they simply gave me what they thought fully covered my expenses." He said that he had no knowledge of any other body, similar to the Merchant Marine League, spending money in that way. , "Hough Estimate" Made. 'Sometimes there would be months without my reimbursement for expenses, and then would come a check for a large amount, Mr. McCleary said. "Can you roughly estimate what has been paid you?" asked Representative Garrett. "Such an estimate would have to be very - rough, the witness replied. "I should say between $600 and $1000. I have been making these addresses about 15 months. Some of the trips have been long." "Will you file a statement of amounts you have received? Mr. Garrett asked. No Memoranda Kept. "I don't believe I could," the witness replied. 1 kept no memorandum. In one instance I got $500. Then I had not received anything from them for a long time." "ro you own any stock in any shipping concern?" Mr. Garrett asked. "I am sorry to say that I do not. I have no interest other than any American has. I never received, a dollar knowingly from arybody having any such Interest." Penton will testify at tomorrow's ses sion of the committee. I "VTVE LA REVOLUTION!'.' ... j . ,,... ....... . . Pathetic Picture Drawn in New York Court Rumor Saves Hughes From Being Thaw Attorney. ' NEW YORK, April 7. Mrs. Mary Cop ley Thaw, on the witness stand today, drew a touching picture of the plight of an aged woman, swayed by conflicting advice and at her wits' end to save an erratic- son, who had committed a sen sational murder. 0 " "I was in Egyptian darkness." said Mrs. Thaw under cross-examination in Clifford W. Hartridge's suit to recover $93,000 counsel fees and disbursements in defending Harry Thaw for the murder of Stanford White. "When I reached New York after Harry's unfortunate affair, I was. in doubt whether to have Harry sent to an insane asylum a decent insane asylum, not Matteawan or have him stand trial. I was a sick, old woman and not so keen." The name of Governor Hughes ap peared in one letter read to Mrs. Thaw and she was asked if she was opposed to the employment of Governor Hughes in her son's case. No," Mrs. Thaw replied. "I was not opposed to the employment of Governor Hughes personally, but it was rumored he might be made Governor and I did not want politics mixed up in any way in Harry's case." PAY SMALL; CARRIERS QUIT Rural Routes About Walla "Walla, May Discontinue for Lack of Men. WALIA- WALLA, Wash., April 7. (Spe cial.) Rural mail delivery out of Walla Waila is seriously threatened by the small remuneration given the employes of Uncle Sam, and unless there Is an increase in salary soon It looks as if there would be a discontinuation of several of the routes leading out from the city.

The regulations of the service provide that if there .1 s a vacancy on any route for a month, that route shall be discontinued. At present one man is carrying the mail only until another man can be secured. And this is not a likelihood. The position pays but $39 a month, although it takes but half i- man's time. $5000 LOST; $4193 FOUND Diligence of Dcadletter Office Re turns Cash to Senders. WASHINGTON", April 7.
