WASHINGTON, rvc. 14. The abro

the law of the land before tho Chrlst
mu holiday.
Tho Sutler resolution, already adopt
ed by tho Doom, directing the termina
tion of tho treaty after a year" notice,
waa brought up today In tho Senate.
The decision to refer It to the com
mittee on foreign relation rather than

assurance from the committee that it
would report Monday. The Senate may
the either adopt the resolution with
a aUght chance or the Culbron reso-
lutlon virtually Identical.
Wkel Year 'Will Be CalaeA.
The debate In the Senate Included
otne discussion of the attitude of the
State Department. Senator Culberson
wanted Immediate action on Monday
without reference to the committee, lie
contended that notice of abrogation
could take effect until one year "after
the first day of January following the
artlon of Congress." and therefore. If
the resolution should fall of adoption
before the holiday It could not go- Into
effect nntll 1914.
Senators Cullom and Lodge pleaded
for the reference to the committee,
whirl! they said would report Monday.
nUi Raynor waa somewhat skep
tical as to the committee's ability to
arre within that time.
"I have no doubt that we ran do It."
Senator Cullom said. Mr. Lodge added
his assurance to the same effect.
Pablte Ifcranaas Is -esu
Senator Clark, of Arkansas, coa
- tended that If the treaty were to be
disposed of promptly action should be
taken without reference to the commit
tee. He said Congress either should
act Immediately upon the general pub
lic demand or go Into the question
thoroughly.
Senators Lodge. Baron and Cullom re
fused to accept the view that the State
department was on trial.
"The President has told us." Senator
Cullom said, "that he Is at work on
the question and will have somet .Ins;
ready after the holidays, and the Sec
retary of State assured me a day or
two ago that he expected to accomplish
something of value to the country."
Finally the House resolution waa re
ferred to the foreign relations commit
tee, which will meet on Monday.

"Holy Smoke," the evangelical editor
wrote, "How art thou fallen. O Lucifer,

"The way of th transgressor la

Taking a lantern In his hands, S-year-old

when the latter set out last night to
catch a robber who had Invaded his
back yard after roDbltig a store at SSI
East Eighty-second street. Thompson
at first hesitated to go out after the
holdup man. whom he heard in his
yard, but the little chap persuaded him
to go. The 4-year-old, armed with the
lantern, and his father, armed with a
shotgun, caught the robber and took
away from him a 3-callber fully load
ed revolver.
Harry, bearing the lantern, and his
father, holding the shotgun close to
the robber, proceeded down the street
toward Montavtlla. Two blocks from
home Thompson lost control of the
trigger of the gun and it exploded,
scaring but not Injuring the robber.
The robber shouted "Don't do that,"
and ran away. He was not caught.
When Detectives Taft and Swennes
came upon Thompson, after passing
him once In the dark, he was afraid
to go home. Little Harry scorned the

MILLER OUTLINES CASE
Verification of Items Mentioned In
McManlgal's Confession Sought
in Records Money "Held
Out" by Hlgher-rp.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 14. As a direct
lead into the big dynamite conspiracy.
United States Attorney Miller, at the
first meeting of the Federal grand Jury
here today, took up the question who
furnished the money for buying and
paying the expenses of carrying about
the country the explosives with which
more than 100 structures have been
blown up.
Mrs. Andrew J. .Hull, now of Kim
ball, Neb., who as Miss Edith Wine
brenner was bookkeeper for the Inter
national Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers and who was
familiar with its money receipts and
disbursements, was closely questioned
by Mr. Miller. Into the grand Jury
room were taken the stubs of check
books and accounts of the association
for the five years In which the explo
slons took place.
Check Stub Important.
It was during a large part of these
seven years that Ortle McManlgal, ac
cording to his confession, did dynamlt
lng for John J. McNamara, the con.
vlcted secretary-treasurer, and often In
company with James B. McNamara.
An Important feature of McManigal's
confession attracted attention in con
nection with Mrs. Hull's visit to the
District Attorney's office. This was
the admission by McManlgal that he
usually received about 1200 for each
job and that when he complained that
part of the money was being held back.
James B. McNamara had admitted re
ceiving the stubs of the checks and
said John J. would "fix It up."
Witnesses' Identity Secret.
Most of the Jury's attention today
was taken up with an outlining by
Attorney Miller of what the lnvestlga
tton was to be, how far it was bo go
and the number and character of the
witnesses to be called. The identity
of the few witnesses called today was
kept in strict secrecy.
Mrs. Hull's appearance at the Fed
eral building followed that of II. S.

Workers' Association, who had been
conferring with Frank M. Ryan. Po

present when records were taken from

Former Portland Pastor Succeeds in
South Where Congregation
Shows Appreciation.
LOS ANGELES, CaL, Dec 14. (Spe
cial) Temple Baptist Church, of which
Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher, formerly of
Portland, Is pastor, tonight at a meet
lng voted unanimously and enthusiast
ically to add $1000 to Dr. Brougher's
salary. In reporting tho unanimous
recommendation of the executive com
mittee for the increase in salary, Mr.
Mattlson B. Jones said:
"When Dr. Burdette resigned it was
a serious question as to whom the
church would choose as pastor. No or
dinary man could have taken up the
work inaugurated by Dr. Burdette and
carried it on successfully but under the
blessing of God, we secured Dr.
Broujrher to take up that work. That
his leadership and ministry have been
pre-eminently successful, every mem
ber of Temple Baptist Church knows
Others spoke enthusiastically in fa
vor of the proposition and. by rising
vote unanimously and heartily added
tho $1000 to Dr. Brougher's salary.
Dr. Brougher responded feelingly to
this generous action on the part of the
church. He said that he not only ap
predated the privilege of having more
money to use In his life's work but he
especially appreciated the heartiness
and cheerfulness with which the In
crease in salary had been offered.
Dr. Brougher has been pastor of Tem
ple Baptist Church for nearly two
years. His salary is now $6000 a year,
the largest salary paid by any church

SANTA'S CAR DESTROYED
Countless Tin Soldiers and Wooden
Animals Perish In Flames.
HAVRE. Mont., Dec. 14. Whole com
panies of soldiers were wiped out and
countless animals, wild and domestic,
perished when a mail -car on the Great
Northern Railroad took fire between
Havre and Great Falls today. All the
casualties were due to the progressive'
ness of Santa Claus In abandoning the
old reliable reindeer team for the
swifter lightning express.
The fact that the soldiers were of
tin and the animals of wood will soften
only partially the grief of the settlers'
children to whom the Christmas pack
ages were mailed by Eastern friends.
The car was loaded with second and
fourth-class matter and carried no pos
tal clerk. Its Interior was a mass of
flames when the fire first was dis
covered. The engineer threw the throt
tle wide in the direction of the nearest
water tank and the burning car was
flooded.

CHARGE TO BE FILED TODAY
Leond Lochard Killed Little
Girl, Says ex-Employer.
LANDLADY IDENTIFIES HIM
Rockpile Prisoner, Who Confessed
Scries of Robberies, Is Accused
of Having Expressed Sorrow
for Slaying Babe.
Leond Lochard, confessed robber,
serving a sentence at Kelly Butte, la
accused of being the murderer of lit
tle Barbara Holzman in Albina last
March.
Mrs. Bertha Nelson, at whose lods-Ing-house
the little girl was murdered,
has Identified Lochard as the man who
rented from her the room in which the
crime was committed and who disap
peared before discovery of the body.
The charge Is made by Frank Jen
nings, ex-employer of Lochard, and an
information accusing Lochard of mur
der In the first degree Is to be filed
today.
Mrs. Nelson, the only person who
saw the murderer at the time,
after identifying a picture of Lochard
a few days ago', went with Jenninga
and an attorney to Kelly Butte yes
terday afternoon and after looking at
Lochard said she was "pretty sure"
he was the man, but reserved final
Judgment until she could see him In a
coat and hat similar to those worn
by the murderer.
Evidence Deemed Strong.
The interview purported to relate to
other subjects, and Lgchard was not
informed that he was under scrutiny.
If he is the guilty man, he betrayed
no recollection of having seen Mrs. Nel
son before yesterday. ,
While the evidence against Lochard
Is all circumstantial at present. It is
strong. It includes alleged admissions
made to other criminals; a striking
resemblance to the description given
by Mr". Nelson at the time the murder
was discovered; alleged tendencies to
degeneracy like those displayed by the
murderer; accurate knowledge or tne
interior of the rooming-house, said to
have been shown by Lochard in his
statements, and a peculiar unwilling
ness to visit, the scene of the crime
just after it occurred.
The train of events whicn culmi
nated in vester-day's revelations, pa
gan several months ago when Lochard
thought that J. F. Hawkes had poisoned
him. The two, according to charges
now before the Circuit Court, had been
svstematically engaged in robbing
houses in liast Side suburbs.
Man Accused la Informant.
nn nlsrht Lochard was taken death
ly elck. and rushed to Constable Hall,
of Mount Scott, who conducted him to
a physician. His suspicions oi pu....
ing were confirmed and it Is believed
that the Illness came from apple sauce
he had eaten, either purposely or un
intentionally poisoned. Hall had been
suspicious of Lochard and took ad

out the accusation that he had carried
Merles of robberies. . Hawkes was

Suspect's Employer Tells.
Jennings was living In Portland at
the time of the Holzman murder and
says he knew intuitively that Lochard
had committed the crime as soon as ho
saw newspaper accounts of it the fol
lowing morning. Lochard had been
working for him, he said, on a solicit
ing basis, and had a "prospect" In the
Immediate neighborhood of tho scene
of the crime. After Barbara Holzman
waa killed he dropped the businesa
without explanation and never after
ward, says Jennings, could he be pre
vailed upon to return to the place.
Jennings went to South Bend to live
and Lochard followed him there. He
asserts that Lochard proposed that they
should break Into a bank, but he re
fused and even ordered the man out of
town, threatening to arrest him him
self. It was while on this visit to South
Bend, according to the story of Jen
nings, that Lochard fell in with two
men of shady records and to them
boasted of the numerous murders ha
had committed, among them that of tho
Holzman girl, "and it is the only one
I regret," he Is quoted as saying. To
these confidants Lochard even described
the room and the house so accurately.
says Jennings, that he found every de
tail correct when he visited the place.
