Declaring Mr. Aldrich had Bald the mo tive back of the Inquiry -was of refuting, the general Idea that the cost of living was due to the tariff, Mr. Bacon said If that were true, the inquiry would be along political lines and the result " en tirely unsatisfactory. Mr. Stone said he had no doubt the purpose of the inquiry was to meet the general publlo protest against the Payne law, a protest which, he said, had been emphasized In the special Congressional elections held since the law bad gone Into effect. Asserting that the inquiry was directed especially at the insurgents, Mr. Stone addressed them saying: . They are going to whip you Into line by showing your contention is Unfounded and by showing you are rebels without reason." Senator Clay charged that previous to their appointment several members of the committee had committed them selves to the view that the tariff' had had no effect on the cost of living. . He re garded the members of the committee as jurors to try the case, and said they should not have prejudiced the question. . "It is a. question of facts," replied Mr. Aldrich. "The committee Is expected to present the figures and the country will reach Its own conclusions." The resolution was about to go to a. vote when Mr. LaFollette presented an amend ment requiring an especial Inquiry Into the cost of manufacturing articles af fected by the investigation. The amendment was accepted by Mr. Lodge but a new line of discussion was started and the resolution was not dis posed of. Mr. Lodge gave notice that he would call It up again today.

It was prom ised when the trial of Albert WoITr for attacking- Ruth Wheeler and strangling and burning her to death was resumed today that the prosecu tion would complete Its case by tomor row at the latest. This means that the case will probably be finished Tuesday, making the trial one of the speediest of any notable criminal hear injr In New York in many years. Before the court opened today Juror ; William Campbell, No. 5 In the Jury box, reported he had received several anonymous letters, but did not reveal their nature. Wolters greeted his lawyers with 'a smile, and beg-an at once to pay close attention to the pro ceedings. The entrance into the flat house on the morning of the crime of a girl answering Ruth Wheeler's description was testified to by Mrs. Mohl, wife of the janitor. The girl had a card In her hand and carried an umbrella, and -tt.es pugiOaa tlia button wUloh, rang the bell In Wolter's apartment went upstairs. - She did not see the girl come out again. After clinching- the identification of a number of the exhibits previously made in the case, the prosecution produced some new ones, which it called Coroner Holzhauser to identify. These consist ed of parts of the fireplace and the marble hearth In Wolter's room. The face of the marble bore black smears. which the Coroner said had been made with paint. The her.rth was turned over, and on the other sde the court room audience saw heavy reddish stains, which seemed to have been caused by percolation through the pores of the hearth. Coroner Holz hauser said the stains were blood. Wolter faced his woman companion, Katie Mueller during the afternoon ses sion. On her way to the witness-stand she kept her gaze steadfastly away from him. She identified Wolter and said that on March 24 he was at home when she went to her work in a bake shop and also when she returned. He was paint ing the fireplace. "I told him we were short of money and he shouldn't have done the paint ing," said the witness. "He said it only cost 10 cents and he might as well fix up the place. He hadn't been working for five weeks before Miss Wheeler was killed." D.A. R. STRIFE AGAIN RIFE FACTIONAL TROUBLES ALMOST BREAK VT? CONGRESS. Kentucky Delegate Drowned Out When She Tries to Speak Taft Receives Congress. WASHINGTON, April 22.

When amendments to the society's con stitution, relating to the discipline of of ficers and members and the question of states rights of the state auxiliaries were presented, the delegates, aligned in their respective partjr camps, found them selves enmeshed In a parliamentary en tanglement. . Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, vice-president general of Michigan, was in the chair, and after a motion, defeating one of the amendments, had been passed, Mrs. Mary Desha, of Kentucky, claimed the floor on a. question of personal privilege. "Because I have different opinions," she began, but her voice was drowned by cries of "Out of order," and she was not allowed to continue. The result of the election yesterday was the choice of nine vice-presidents general, the majority ' of whom, it was said, are administration supporters. This leaves one vacancy among the vice presidents general, which will be filled at a second election to be held tomorrow.

It teaches the sufferer much she could learn from no other source. . To illustrate: Observe two farms, one a great, sprawling, many acred affair, seemingly too large for careXuI cultivation and another, a few acres, every inch fertilized and made to produce Its utmost. The owner of the latter makes the better Income. And so It Is with the well girl and the sick one. The latter knows her limitations, knows how little strength he has. and she Is never profligate of it- Her mental vision seems clearer than that of the physically sound girl; her brain processes are often keener, even as one dying, partly released from the bondage of flesh, sees and knows much not seen by or known to the normal person; even as a man drown ing has a quickened insight. The healthy g-irl is interested in so many things, so much calls her' attention, the fullness of living is on her in such torrential force that her mind is here. there and everywhere, and the work she is to do to gain a livelihood hasn't a strong grasp on her faculties. The sick girl lies on her back and thinks out plans, and thus 'when she undertakes to do something in a money making way, her mind with avidity grasps the problem and she begins working out plans. Her life experience has developed in her the ability to lay out the whole proposition clearly, go over each point, search out each weak place, and see the strong ones, Just as the blind man knows his way by the feel of things a sense almost lost in the seeing. - This is the reason that the delicate girl who turns to money-making will far surpass, oftlmes, the rollicking friend who has never learned this use of her mental faculties, and who, when off duty, is busy with basketball, ten nis, and the thousand and one delights of the trammel-free young. Not but that these dports are better for the girl; a thousand pities any girl should have so many cares as to rob her of the delicious playdays of young wo manhood. But as these have been forbidden pleasures to our delicate girl, let her hug to her heart her com pensations. She has lost much granted; but she has gained much that will help her In the struggle for a livelihood. MOLE BETRAYS ROBBER IDENTIFICATION OF. SUSPECTS IS CONFIRMED AT OAKLAND. Men Arrested for Holding TTp China Japanese Mail Fail to Account for Their Actions. OAKLAND, April 22. With the more positive ldetniflcation by Engineer George Marsh of James Franklin and Fred Han sen as the two robbers who held up the China-Japanese fast mall train near Benecla last Saturday night. Captain of Detectives Peterson is confident that he has the perpetrators of the crime In cus tody. Marsh saw the men again tonight and said that in every way their features are similar. "They walk like the men who held us up, and besides looking like the fellows, their actions are the same," he said. A. mole on the forehead of Hansen Is one of the striking facial features of the smaller of the two suspects, and Marsh remembers distinctly that the smaller of the two men had such a, blemish upon his brow. Two employes of the local traction com pany have Identified the men as the two who excited comment by their frequent trips on the San Pablo Avenue carline the week previous to the robbery. This line partially extends Into the ter ritory lying between Martinez and the bay shore through which it is thought the course of escape was laid. Franklin and Hansen have failed to give the authorities any satisfactory statement of their movements during the three weeks preceding their arrest. The hair on the back of Franklin's hands is singed and It is the theory of the- detective that this occurred during the launch - trip on the bay. Franklin does not account for the absence of the hair from his hands in a way that in spires the belief of the officers in his statement. Herbert J. Black, the mall clerk who threw out the sacks to the robbers', was not eo positive in his identification of the men, although he was impressed with the similarity of the light color of Frank lin's eyes with those of the taller rob ber. STORY- OF AN ORPHAN Incident In a National Child-Rescue Campaign. (Delineator.) Mr. and Mrs. Welborn live In a big, luxurious home In a- Southern city. The house was approached .by a wind ing drive and there were always sev eral servants to meet each carriage. But despite the deep carpets and the famous pictures on the wall, it was a lonely home, for the rooms never echoed to childish laughter, nor were there ever any baby finger-prints on the windowpanes, or dolls face down ward on the floor. Finally, when she could bear the loneliness no longer," Mrs. Welborn adopted an 8-year-old girl Anabel. Anabel was a very attractive child, seeming never to grow weary, but very self-willed. No one could manage her. But her eager mind and fine face made her foster-parents love her devotedly. They gave Anabel the finest of clothes, music lessons and devotedly showered their money at her feet. Anabel re mained the same, seeming to take It as a matter of course. Relatives made it so unpleasant for them that Mr. and Mrs. Welborn withdrew from society, sold their beautiful home and moved to Denver, where he set up in busi ness again. One day, without any previous indi cations, Mr. Welborn dropped dead. Investigation showed him to be heavily in debt, true to the proud Southern type who set . good-will above greed. Hard creditors took their home, even to the last bit of furniture. . Mrs. Wel born had never cooked a meal in her life; letters to relatives found that they, too, had suffered reverses, and that none could offer her a home. In a lone back room Mrs. Welborn fought It out alone. Hunger con quered, and she went to her church to ask for a place In the Old Ladies' Home. The chairman was absent. That night Anabel, who had gone on without a word, came "in the dismal room and said: "Mother, It is all over. You are to have a comfortable home again. I have secured a place as con cert soloist. I am Just beginning to appreciate you." The bread was returning. Mrs. Wel born was being repaid for her mother trust. Anabel needed this trial to soften her heart and make a woman of her. Today she is one of. the great est soloists In the West.. Her name is known in many states, and her career Is only beginning. - At every concert she gives, a quiet little woman sits in the audience who never takes her eyes off her.
