Doforo it was posaiblo to bring effi cient holp an hour had passed. All this timo Cohen was making frantic at tempts to roach tho shoro.

Finally word was carried to tho res ervation police, and Policeman James Martin and three other men with ropes hurried to tho scono. Throo timeB they throw a ropo before it fell within Cohen's gruBp. When he did catch it, ho was too weak to tie It about hiB own or his wlfo's waist Tho two wero 20 feet away from shore, and it was extremely difficult, owing to tho precarious nature of the footing, to make a good cast. Pinned against tho treo by tho terrific rush of water, all tho strength had gono out of Cohon, and ho had boon unablo to keep his wife's face abovo water. Onco Cohen had hold of tho ropo, tho men ashore began to pull. Martin, who waa in front, slipped and foil into tho stream, but quickly regained his footing. When within 15 feet of tho shore, Cohen lost his grip on his wife's body, and it was carried down stream and was lost to view. BRUTES TORTURE WOMEN.

The Income tax shared with tho wool schedule tho senate's attention today, and after dis cussion of an hour or moro Its further consideration was postponed until June IB by a vote of 45 to 34. This action was tho roflult of a motion made by AldrJch, which followed a chargo by Bailey that unduo Influence was being brought to bear against tho proposed incomo tax amendment to tho tariff bill. Aldrich declared that ho know of no such effort, but pleaded for tho postponement of tho question until tho schedules should bo disposed of. It was agreed to admit animals for breeding free of duty and an amend ment offered by Aldrich putting fruit in brine on tho free list was adopted. The consideration of tho free entry of hides was postponed for later con sideration. An amendment offered by Dick admitting miners' safety appli ances free until January 1, 1912, was agreed to as amended by Culberson, eliminating tho restriction as to the timo. It was decided to pass over the Ques tion nt frrn rod nnd netroleum. Orange oil was stricken from tho free list and nut oil and oil of nuts wero placed on It Tho restriction on the valuo of oils ndmlttorl frnn to 60 cents a gallon was Btricken out and palm kernel was added ..... . . . . i ; to the list. Uleostearino was bibo in cluded in the free list. Thursday Juno 10. Waahingon, June 10. Timo and time again today Dolliver and others of the Rn.rnllnd nrntrreafllvo ReDUbllcanB Went down to defeat in their efforts to break tho ranks of the Aldrich forces on tho wool schedule of tho tariff bill. Dolli ver offered numerous amendments look ing to tho reduction of the finance com mittee's rates, but in each instance the amendment was voted down and tho committee sustained. Tho debate throughout tho day was good-natured and Dolliyer seemed to havo real feeling over tho possible tears In the eyes of tho Irish potato. Tho wool schedule occupied the at tention of tho senate throughout tho entire day and on this account consid nrAttnn of tho nronased income tax. which had been Bet for today waa post poned Until tomorrow. Wednesday, June 0. Washington, June 9. The woolen schedule of tho tariff bill was still un der consideration by the senate today when tho recess for dinner was taken. The committee amendment increasing tho house rate on wool tops and other waBtcs from 20 cents a pound to 30 cents a pound waa adopted by a vote of 40 to 30. This was a finance commit tee change and tho committee scored its usual majority. Gamble and Craw ford deserted tho "progressives," but with these exceptions tho ranks of tho contingent remained unbroken. Tho committee amendment increasing the duty on shoddy from 20 cents a pound to 25 cents, and that on tops from 8 to 20 cents also prevailed, by 42 to 81. Tuesday, June 8. Washington, June 8. Much good humor and pleasantries wero injected into tho debate on the woolen schedule in the senate today. Dolliver, the central figure, offered several amend ments and announced his intention of preserving others, appealing to Repub lican members to vote with him be cause, he said, the amendments would justify tho attitude of the Republican party in advocating a protectivo tariff. One of the interesting features was a lecture on tho woolen industry from beginning to end by Carter, who brought forth a large box filled with Bamples of various grades of wool. To senators who gathered about him he oxplained each step in the manufacture of woolen goods from the raising of sheep to tho making of tho garment Ho familiarized members of the senate with tho usos of shoddy waste, soils, tops and various grades of wool. Monday, June 7. Washington, Juno 7. Tho senate chamber was again today tho sceno of a lively debate, Aldrich leading the conservatives and Beveridgo heading tho progressives, did moat of tho talk ing. Both senators wore frequently on their feot and thero wore many sharp conflicts botween thom. Beginning tho session with a vote on tho recommendation of his committeo for a duty of 3 cents a square yard and 20 per cent ad valorem on tho fabric known as window hollands. Aldrich was apparently somewhat encouraged over tho prospect of making decided headway with tho cotton schedule. About tho middle of tho afternoon tho senate reached its second vote, which was on an amendment by Sena tor Dolliver to strike out tho commit teo provision fixing a duty of ono cent a square yard for tho process of mer corization. Tho amendment was lost by ..the unusually close vote of 82 to 38. Tho narrowing of tho margin waa, howovor, duo to the absence, of senat ors rathor than to tho conversion of tho progressives to tho Aldrich standard. At the night session Dollivor argued Legation Secretary Out, Washington, Juno 11. Algernon Sartorls, secretary of tho American legation to Guatemala, has resigned. Tho cause assigned ia ill health. That there may have been othor reasons than 111 health for tho resignation wbb strongly Intimated tonight. Tho Times is authority for tho statomont that whllo he was on leave in Paris recently ho rocolvod in response to a request for extension of leave a curt message that bis resignation would be acceptablo against a duty of 50 per cent ad val orem on cotton tapestry and jacquard figured goods as affording too much protection to American manufacturers. Aldrich then offered an amendment making tho rate of 40 per cent ad val orem on goods valued at moro than $ 1. These rates word adopted. Saturday, Juno 6. Washington, Juno 5. After devot ing tho larger portion of the day to lis tening to a discussion of tho cotton cloth schedule, tho senate entered upon a period of voting late In the afternoon and rapidly disposed of tho entire sub ject of changing from ad valorem to specific duties for tho purpose of pre venting under-valuatlon. On all votes taken the finance committee was sus tained by a majority of from 10 to 11. Three votes were necessary to accom plish tho result and others would have been necessary but for Bacon, who see ing the futility of opposing the com mittee, suggested tho grouping of tho votes after the first two ballots had been taken. This was unanimously agreed to, with tho result that so much was accomplished that a night session was not held. Shake-up Badly Needed. rrtm. June 8. Although con ditions existing at the United StateB naval academy at Annapous aro giving thn now rlnnnrtmnnt officials much bliv ii-, concern, It is not considered probable i 5 that Secretary Meyer win aaopt radi cal corrective measures until Captain Bowver relieves Captain Badger as su perintendent this month. The recent report oi a Doara oi live nnvnl officers sneciallv detailed at the academy, which was in substance that physical exercises now in vogue were responsible for poor physiques common among recent graduates and midship men, has been borno out in a measure by the failure of 43 out of 180 midship mnn tn rrndunto this vear on account of physical disability. Most of those who failed, however, were rejected, it is said, because of defective eyesight. Turkey Makes Strong Denial. Washington, June 8. Emphatic de nial wad nntflred todav nt the Turkish embassy to, reports that 20,000 or 30,- 000 persons bad been Killed in tno re cent troubles in Asiatic-Turkey.

Not only had the minister of the interior asked for the appropriation of $150,000 to aid the victims, it was stated, but the gov ernment on its own responisbility, had sent $10,000 at once. Congress Begins to See End. Washington, June 8. Having acted upon most of the vexed problems in the cotton schedule last week, the senate expects to complete this schedule on Monday or Tuesday. This will bring the senate face to face with the woolen schedule, which is virtually a re-enactment of the Dingley rates but never theless will be fought by the "progres sive Republicans" aided by Democrat senators. On account of the progress mado last week, the senate leaders are predicting the bill will be voted upon in the sen ate by June 19, and congress will be ready to adjourn before July 11. Taft Will Visit Coast. Washington, June 9. President Taft said today that he expected to be in San Francisco on October 19.

A cast away In tho skies through tho breaking of his guide rope, which formed bis only connection with tho eartb, and later an areonaut on tho ground, WItn his ship floating away through space, pursued on tho ground by an automo bile, Claude M. Zellers, a one-legged inventor, tonight contributed new pages to tho history of aeronautics. In a machine of no tpyo known to aeronautics, invented by William Smith, a cattle-dealer, and described as tho largest aeroplane in tho world, Zellers flew from East St Louis this afternoon at 6:30 o'clock. When 100 feot up tho guide rope became en tangled in an applo treo and snapped, leaving the aviator a castaway. He sailed 40 miles in a zigzag course and succeeded In making a hazardous land ing at 'Belleville, 20 miles from where ho started. Zellers was unablo to stop nis ma chinery, but pointed the nose of his craft toward the ground and allowed it to shoot down like a meteor until the end of the broken ropo trailed on the ground. Just as Zellers slid down the rope, a distance of 70 feet it broke and tho dirigible, its engines going full speed, soared into the sky without a pilot ' .

SAILED 44 HOPS Winner sf lallwn feci torn Great Endaraice. MAY BREAK DISTANCE 8ECMI Kentucklan Takes Shot at the Indiana, and Alabaman at the New York Novices Win Trophies. Indianapolis, Juno 8. If tho balloon Indiana has not been disqualified by touching earth it has broken the Amer ican endurance record by staying in tho air moro than 44 hours. Since tho balloon started in the national dlstanco race of tho Aero club of America from this city Saturday two reports havo been received from it One waa that it had touched tho earth in Tennessee and had taken on water and proceeded toward tho south. If this Is true the balloon is disquali fied under the rules of the International Aeronautical Federation. A second dispatch signed by the pilot Carl Fisher, and his aide, G. L. Bumbaugh, haa stated that they dropped down near enough to earth to let down a Hd and draw up a bucket of water. .Under these conditions sho has not been dis qualified. It is not posaiblo according to avail able information, that the Indiana had broken the distance record of 852 miles, for it was traveling duo south and would come to the Gulf coast al most 100 miles short of the record es tablished by tho German balloon Pom mern in the international race nearly two years ago for the James Gordon Bennett trophy, which started from St LouIb at,d landed at Asbury Park, N. J. The last of the six balloons entered in the national distance race from which, a definite landing report haa been received is the St Louis III, which dropped at Kelso, Tenn., having covered about 340 miles. A. B. Lam bert was pilot and H. E. Honeywell tho aide. Other balloons landed are as follows: New York, A. Holland Forbes, pilot; landed at Corinth, Mass., covering 375 miles in 36 bourB, 10 minute?.

Cleveland, landed at Columbus, Ind., 40 miles, 2 hours 55 minutes. , Dr. Gothelink, pilot and R. J. Ir win, assistant, flying the Indianapolis, won both the trophies in the handicap race, which started at 3:45 o'clock Sat urday afternoon, just preceding the national race. The Indianapolis won the cup offered for the greatest dis tance by the Indianapolis Merchants.' association, having approximately 16 miles better to hor record than the Ohio. She also won the Fisher trophy for time in the air, having a margin of almost two hours over the Chicago. The victory of the Indianapolis men and their balloon is considered remark able, inasmuch as they are new at bal looning. They started on their flight with but five bags of sand, and were lightly provisioned. They made 235 miles, and were in the air 19 hours. A message from them'says their high est altitude was 13,000 feet They were shot at twice as they went over Kentucky, but were not hit Tho New York, which landed near Corinth, Miss., was also bhot at Sun day night while passing over Morgan county, Alabama.
