OVER LONG MIT
Printers Cannot Keep Up With
Press of Work on Last
Day of Session.
JOKES DIE AN EARLY DEATH
Sweltering Weather Makes tlie Few
Members Left to Finish Bm hires
Feel Miserable and Word Is Ea
gerly Awaited From House.
W ASHINGTON. June 30. (Special.) In
a sweltering atmosphere, with hope de
ferred that made the heart sick, the Sen
ate did much business today. But it had
time to burn. So did the President. This
was a net result of small accomplish
ments, but it does not represent the
l. k... . , a,tH itiur-nmfnrts and irri
tating annoyances. From the opening to
the c! -slug there was delay. The printers
could not keep up.
Whrn the first few announcements came
early in the session that the House would
soon give the Senate what it was waiting
for. there was acceptance and a recess.
But Bnally. like the ry of "wolf." it grew
stale and unprofitable, until at '1 o'clock,
when Hale was again informed that the
Hoii.-;e would soon be heard from, he
lustily exclaimed:
"That's what we have been hearing all
day." A recess was then taken until 7:30
o'clocK, the sixth recess of the day.
Mo3l Df this time the Senate was al
most in a state of collapse. Senators who
had been waiting for the close grumbled
because they had not done like many of
their colleagues and left town.
At one time during a recess of 20 min
tr.es not an official word was spoken.
Some one would crack a jest, but it died
a-boroing.
La Toilette Wins His Point.
The long fight of La Follette to secure
some final action on his bill fixing the
length of time railway employes should
he required to work resulted successfully.
There was opposition to his request that
h vote he taken December 12, but later
the request by Beveridge that a vote be
taken January 10. at 3 P. M prevailed.
McCumber wanted an opportunity for a
hearing before the committee.
Carter and Galllnger criticised La Fol
lette for characterizing opposition to this
measure as a filibuster. The latter said
be repudiated the intimation that he was
opposed to organized labor. La Follette
retorted that he charged that the Sena
tor was hostile to railway labor.
When the Senate reconvened at 7:15
P. M. tonight, after one of the many re
cesses of the day, Senator Hale called at
tention to the chain of circumstances
that had held the Senate all day. and
part of the night, and offered resolutions
directing the committee on rules to in
vestigate the enrolling force of the Sen
ate and the committee on printing to
make an Inquiry as to why the delay at
.the Government printing office. Both
resolutions were adopted.
Hale said the Senate had waited all
dav. and the President of the United
States with his Cabinet had been in con-
tant attendance, remaining longer than
he had ever known a President to stay.
He had. he said, been greatly disturbed
because of the retention in the sundry
civil bill of the item appropriating $7,000.
000 '.'or the site of Government buildings.
In the face of the fact that both houses
had voted it out. He expressed appre
hension that if the mistake had not been
discovered the newspapers would have
been suspicious of himself. Senator
Scott of West Virginia, and the Secretary
of State, all of whom had been advocates
and friends of the appropriation.
Hale said that the new administration
in the printing division is too much occu
pied with its own views, and had not taken
in account the urgent demands of Con
gress. He had. he said, been informed
that errors had been found In each new
copy of the public buildings bill that had
been received. Senator Cullom mentioned
the Illness of the Public Printer as an
explanation of bad conditions In his of
fice. Senator Tillman said none of the blame
could put on the Senate or members
of the committee on public buildings.
A.WXOX
HAS THE LAST WORD
Pronounces Eulogy on House and
Congress Adjourns.
WASHINGTON. June 30. Get-away day
In the House was accomplished after a
series of recesses, adoption of conference
reports and a gathering up of the fag
ends of legislation. After a midnight ses
sion, the House, still under the legisla
tive day of June 29, met at 10:55 this
morning and. until final adjournment, it
was rush and confusion.
At 7:45 o'clock tonight, Payne of New
York, floor leader of the majority, of
fered the customary resolution that the
House, with concurrence of the Senate,
adjourn at 10 o'clock, June 30. He also
offered the customary resolution to ap
point a committee to Join a similar com
mittee of the Senate to wait upon the
President and inform him that Congrest
had completed its labors and was ready
to adjourn. The resolution was adopted,
and the Speaker appointed Payne of New
Tork and Burton and Williams. Bccess
was then taken until 8:50. o'clock. At 9:25
the Speaker signed the omnibus public
building bill and then the House took a
teccss until 9:50.
When the House reassembled the com
mittee appointed to wait on the Presi
dent returned, and Payne stated that
they had performed the mission intrust
ed to them and that the President had
no further message to communicate to
Congress. Then Speaker Cannon rose,
and. while silence fell on the chamber
that but a little while before had rung
with songs and story, addressed the
House as folows:
"The hour is at hand when, under the
terms of the concurrent resolution, the
first session of the 59th Congress is to
close.
"I desire to return my thanks to each
and all members of the House for the
uniform courtesy extended to myself as
Speaker.
"It Is proper for me to say that in 30
years' service in, the House of
Representatives. its membership has
never been more able, or industrious, or
tnore devoted to the performance of its
duti- s for the best interests of the coun
try than during the session about to close.
The differences at limes here been sharp
and decisive, but I take pleasure in say
ing that at all times in our deliberations
courtesy h:is abounded and that our dif
ferences have been sin-jrre from the indi
vidual and from the parly standpoint.
"No session of Congress has in my
judgment for 30 years accomplished so
much that is valuable in legislation for
the best interests of all people as has
the present session. I believe that this
will bo the verdict of history.
"I trust that d jring the vacation you
may remain in health and return to your
duties In December with renewed
st rength."
The cave came down with a whack.

and, amid cheering and the waving of
tiny flags, the first session of the 53th
Congress was at an end.
LAST DAY IS TEDIOUS.
Speechmaking- Marks Close of First
Session of Fifty-Ninth Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 30. Seldom has
the Senate spent as tedious a day as was
this, the last day of the first session of
the 50th Congress. The session began at
10 A. M., and most of the time was spent
cither in recess or in waiting upon the
House and upon conference committees.
It was 8 o'clock when the House resolu
tion fixing 10 P. M. as the time for the
final adjournment was adopted.
Senators Nelson and Blackburn were
appointed to wait upon the President and
inform him of the action.
At 9:40, Messrs. Nelson and Blackburn
returned and stated that the President
had nothing further to communicate. Sen
ator Nelson then took the chair and Sen
ator Blackburn presented the following
resolution:
"The thanks of the Senate is hereby
tendered to the Vice-President for the
dignified, impartial and courteous man
ner In which he has presided over its de
liberations during the present session."
The Kentucky Senator said that in all
the years of his service in the Senate he
had never known an occupant of the
chair who more richly deserved this trib
ute. The resolution was adopted unani
mously. The Vice-President addressed
the Senate as follows:
"Senators: I shall always hold in
grateful remembrance the resolution you
have adopted personal to myself. Permit
me to express to you my deep sense of
obligation for the uniform courtesy, kind
ness and assistance which the chair has
received from both sides of the chamber.
"The session which is closing has been
protracted and arduous. Great questions
have been debated in a manner worthy
of the best traditions of the Senate. Many
sharp differences of opinion have been
disclosed, but they have been only such
as naturally arise in a forum where pub
lic measures of magnitude are deter
mined after mature deliberation. There
has been entire accord among Senators
in patriotic purposes.
"I trust that at the close of the vacation
upon which you are about to enter you
may return safely and in health, to re
sume your service on behalf of the people.
"The hour for the adjournment of the
first session of the 59th Congress having
arrived, it becomes my duty to declare
the Senate adjourned without day."
Promptly at 10 o'clock the gavel fell
and the seven months' session came to
an end. .

(Continued From Page 1.)
gestlon also was made that the Presi
dent could communicate with the com
mittee by telephone, but when this
matter was referred to Senator Hale
he remarked that it -would establish a
precedent, and consequently It was de
cided to send the committee to the
White House.
The President shook hands and bade
goodby to Vice-President Fairbanks,
the Speaker, the Senators present and
and several members of his Cabinet. He
then returned to the White House.
There at I o'clock he signed the bill.
COMMENDATION OF PRESIDENT
Substantial Work for Good Accom
plished at This Session.
WASHINGTON. June 30. President
Roosevelt tonight, on the adjournment of
Congress, dictated a statement concern
ing the work accomplished during the
session. He says that the present Con
gress has done more along the lines of
constructive statesmanship than has
been accomplished at any session with
which he is familiar. He says that men
of genuine patriotism have a right to
feel "a profound satisfaction in the en
tire course of this Congress." The text of
the President's statement follows:
"In the session that has just closed the
Congress has done more substantial work
for good than any Congress at any "Ses
sion since I became familiar with public
affairs. The legislation has been along
the line of real constructive statesman
ship of tlie most practical and efficient
type and bills have been enacted which
have been of an importance so great that
it is fair to say that the enactment of
any one of them would have made the
session memorable: such, for instance, as
the railroad-rate bill, the meat-inspection
measure, the pure-food bill, the bill
for free alcohol in the arts, the Consular
reform bill. Panama Canal legislation, the
joint statehood bill and the naturaliza
tion bill.
"I certainly have no disposition to
blink at what there is of evil in our
social, industrial or political life of today,
but it seems to me that the men of gen
uine patriotism, who genuinely wish well
to their country, have the right to feel
a profound satisfaction in the entire
course of this Congress. 1 would not be
afraid to compare its record with that of
any previous Congress in our history, not
alone for the wisdom but for the disin
terested high-mindedness which has con
trolled its action.
"It is noteworthy that not a single
measure which the closest scrutiny would
warrant us In calling of doubtful pro
priety has been enacted, and, on the
other hand, no influence of any kind has
availed to prevent the enactment of the
laws most vitally necessary to the Nation
at this time."

WASHINGTON, June 30. Chairman
Tawney, of the House appropriations
committee, today made the following
statement as to the appropriations for
the fiscal year 1907:
"The total appropriations made at this
session of Congress, Including those car-

MRS. MAUDE CREFF1ELD, WHO TESTIFIED IN THE MITCHELL TRIAL AT
SEATTLE.
SEATTLE. June 50. Mis. Maul Hurt CrelTield. the principal witness for the
state in the prosecution of George Mitchell, her husband's slayer, at Seattle, is
a CorvallLs girl, the daughter of O. V. Hurt, of that place. She met Creffield,
the deceased Holy-Roller leader, whim he was just beginning hi orgies, under
the guise of religion, about three yeara ago. The man's strange power was
supreme over her when he was near - and she was his lieutenant in his bestial
teaehlnw. When he went to the Oregon penitentiary two years ago on a stat
utory charge, Mrs. Creffield seemed to come out of the hypntlc spell Creffleld
had cast about her. She secured a divorce ; but no sooner did Creffield get out
of prison than he called upon her to return to him and she responded to the
summons at once. They were remarried at Seattle a month and four days
before Creffield was hot down by the outraged brother of two of his victims.
Creffield's death was witnessed by the wife without any display of emotion on
her part, and she exhibited no feeling when testifying against him in the Su
preme Court at Seattle, Friday afternoon. She Is 23 years of age and quite
good-looking.
rled in the regular appropriation accounts,
all deficiencies', miscellaneous matters and
permanent annual appropriations, aggre
gate $880,153,301.
"This is an apparent increase of $60.
000,000 over the appropriations made at
(he last session of Congress. This is more
than accounted for in the three following
items: For the Isthmian Canal. B2. 447, 000;
under the statehood bill, $10,250,000; toward
the construction of new buildings author
ized at this session. $10,321,000, making a
total of $63,018,000. to which might prop
erly be added $5,000,000 for San Francisco.
Not All Revenue 'Charges.
"Other notable increases are $3,000,000
for inspection of meat products and. $10,
600.000 on account of the postal service.
The total apparent appropriations made
at this session. $SS0,1S3.301, do not consti
tute in their entirety a charge against the
revenues of the Government for the next
fiscal year, for the reason that there
must be deducted deficiencies that are
chargeable to the service of the current
year and to meet expenditures already in
curred on account thereof, approximating
at least $35,000,000. This sum Includes
$16,000,000 for the Isthmian Canal.
"There should also be deducted $57.
000,000 for the sinking fund, which may
or may not be met in the whole or in
part, as It Is purely a matter of discre
tion with the Secretary of the Treasury
to utilize the surplus for that purpose.
"There should also be deducted $22,000.
000. which is estimated and included In
the whole sum of appropriations to be
paid out of deposits of National banks in
redemption of circulating notes of banks.
The deposits are not credited as a part
of the revenues of the Government, and
therefore redemptions made from the
fund thus arising should not be charged
to expenditures.
Canal Money Does Xot Count.
"The $25,466,615 appropriated for work
on the Isthmian Cana! Is payable from,
or reimbursable to. the Treasury out of
the bonds that are authorized to be sold
for that purpose, and should also be de
ducted from the appropriations for 1907.
"The sums mentioned amount to more
than $139,000,000. and when deducted leave
apparent appropriations of only $741,000.
000 to be met out of the revenues of the
next fiscal year.
"In my judgment, the ordinary revenues
of the next fiscal year will amount to at
least $600,000,000. The postal revenues are
estimated at $181,973,000 for 1907, making
the total apparent resources of the Gov
ernment for next year not. less than $781.
973.000. or at least $40,000,000 in excess of
appropriations that may be charged
against them."
Livingston of Georgia, the ranking
Democratic member on the appropria
tions committee, warned the Republi
cans that unless they provided some
means to increase the revenues that
the next Congress would be called upon
to explain a deficit. He will submit
a statement of appropriations later.

CONDITION JS IMPHOVED.
Secretary Shaw Finds Treasury Bet
ter Off Than Last Year.
WASHINGTON. June 30. Secretary
Shaw tonight issued the following com
parison with this and the previous fiscal
y ear :
The deficit last year was $24,000,000 in
round numbers. This included $6,000,000
extraordinary expenses on the Panama
Canal. The actual deficiency on ordinary
expenses was therefore, in round numbers,
$18,000,000. This year the surplus is $25.
000,000. and in addition there has been paid
on the Panama Canal $18,000,000. The ac
tual excess of revenues over ordinary ex
pense Is. therefore. 543.500,000. The differ
ence between $43,500,000 excess and $18,000,
000 deficit on ordinary expenses is there
fore $61,500,000. The Treasury on ordinary
expenses is $61,500,000 better off at the close
of the fiscal year than at the close of
the fiscal year 1905.
CARS WILL BE OF STEEL
Harrinian Lines Adopt New Mate
rial for Rolling Stock.
CHICAGO. June 30. The management of
the Harriman lines, after experiments ex
tending hrough long periods, has adopted
steel as the material to be used in the
construction of all passenger equipment
and of all boxcars and of other cars which
will permit of such construction. In the
case of freightcars or boxcars, the com
pany is constructing them almost entirely
of steel. Xhe floors even being of this ma
terial. The increase In trainload possibilities,
together with the indestructibility of the
cars, tne cheapness of their repair and of
maintenance, which Is fully 50 per cent
over wooden cars, means a tremendous
total saving to the Harriman fines.

DRINKS CONSUMED IN GOTHAM
ARE VILE CHEMICALS.
Whisky Three Hour Old Han Appcar
ani'e of Liquor Aged for
Years in "Happy Oak."
NEW YORK June 30. The sensa
tional charge made by Representative
Hall, on the floor of the House at
Washington, to the effect that thou
sands of barrels of whisky, gin. bran
dy and cordials consumed in New York
every year were made from '.hemicals,
was thoroughly corroborated through
investigations made by World report
ers, it develops that a barrel of whis
ky which retails by the drink in a
first-class cafe for more than $300 can
be manufactured for less than 520 and
strong essences are potent factors in
the making of a great percentage of all
bar products.
After these chemical liquors have
stood for three hours they are ready
for the market. Drugs supply the bead
which makes whisky look as if it were
aged by years of repose In wood, while
colors are added that render it almost
impossible to detect the fraud.
In the Borough of Manhattan alone
are more than 15 firms supplying those
chemicals. They all act within the let
tor of the law, but saloonmen who
make this "moonshine" are violating
every revenue act. The business is
carried on to an enormous extent.

his travels until 50 countries have been
visited and about 50,000 miles of highway
have been covered by his car. He esti
mates that the tour as planned will not be
completed until 1911. by which time he ex
pects to have seen more of the world
and Its people than any other living
person.
During their travels Mr. and Mrs. Glid
den have had many unique experiences,
and have been entertained by monarchs
and princes, ranging in influence from the

What Is a Tonic?
A toBfc is a medicine that -increases
the appetite, increases the digestion, in
creases the power of the system to as
similate and appropriate food.
This i6 the action of all true tonics.
To be sure there are tonics that are
simply stimulants. They irritate the
.stomach, and an unnatural craving for
food is excited. This class of medicines
should be classed as stimulants rather
fian tonics.
A tonic, as above stated, quickens all
the functions of digestion. It Invig
orates the body by furnishing more
force for the body.
- The action of true tonics Is not tem
porary, but lasting.
The lassitude which warm .weather
brings is due to an under-supply of
nutrition for the body. Plenty of food
may be on the table, on t'the food is not
relished, or else is not digested.
Slight catarrhal derangements of the
stomach and bowels will so. effectually
interfere With digestion as to produce
great depression of the system.

Oscar Lawler has successfully accom

Government in a like case, before Com
missioner Van Dyke."
Mr. Bristol seemed greatly disappointed
at the turn of events, and declared that
he might have to lay the whole matter
before the Department of Justice. While
no) fnllv anticinatine such a course on
I the part of the Commissioner, Mr. Bristol
evidently had misgivings on the subject
to a certain extent .and yesterday wired
the United States Attorney for the east
ern district of Wisconsin to reinstate the
procedmgs by filing a new complaint In
case the ruling should be adverse to the
Government.
Neither could Mr. Bristol understand
the pos'tiou Ot the Commissioner in dis
charging the live defendants, in view of
the fact that over 40 witnesses testified
before the Federal grand Jury which re
turned the indictments.
Late last night District Attorney Bristol

the Oshltosh people had not been told to
them by him. consequently, they were not
put on notice thereof and could not have
been cognizant of the situation.
Mr. Bristol ridicules this idea, and says
the, Oshkosh defendants have f',r years

through Parker; that about 20 locators

or an amount aggregating $20,000, and that
the strongest kind of evidence was pro
duced before the grand jury to show that
the Oshkosh defendants were fully aware
of Parker's connection with the bogus
transactions.

Bristol last night from the United States
District Attorney at Oshkosh. Wis., to
the effect that the three Shawano, Wis.,
lumbermen indicted under conspiracy
charges jointly with the five from Osh

turns From Talk Witb President.
PHOENIX. Ariz., June 30. Governor
Kibbey returned home today from Wash
ington, where he was summoned in con
ference by President Roosevelt. Many
stories were given currency, to the effect
that the President had demanded of him
that he change his attitude of opposition
to the jointure movement and that simi
lar demands are or would be made on
other Federal officers here. Concerning
his conference, the Governor today gave
out this statement:
'I had a full and frank talk with the
President relative to Arizona affairs, in
cluding the question of joint statehood. I
wish to state emphatically that the Pres
ident did not call me to Washington for
the purpose of disciplining me on the
statehood question. On the contrary, he
did not even suggest that I should change
my position on that question."
