WARNER'S SPEECH IS ENDED
Seal Sensation of the Day Was the
Admission of Bennett That he Had
"Railroaded" the Naturalization of
Many Foreigners.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-By an
overwhelming vote of 167 to 46 and
following a two hours' debate the
bouse again today went on record
gainst the re-establishment of the

homes. In the course of the discus
sion a man giving his name as Geo.
F. Gridley of Providence, R. I., un
furled an American flag and proceed
ed to make an address from the gal
lery on the temperance question. He
was promptly taken out. Perhaps the
teal sensation of the day was the ad
mission of Bennett of New York and
a member of the immigration com
mittee that he had under an old im
migration law "Railroaded" the natu
ralization of many foreigners in one
day with the exception of a conference
report on the bill re-organizing the
consular service sundry bill was un
der consideration the entire day.
Little progress was made toward its
completion.

delegates, of which 393 are appointed
by the county committee which are
mainly controlled by the men of the

A report from the registrar's office
Child Labor in the District of Co
lumbia Regulated Provides For
no Employment Before 6 a. m. and
After 7 p. m. of Children Under 14
WASHINGTON, May 6. -The
Senate today passed a bill prohibit
ing the employment within certain
hours of children under 14 years of
age in the District of Columbia in
any factory, workshop, telegraph of
rice or other place. No such child
is permitted to work at any employ-
men for wages during school hours
or before 6 a. m. nor after 7 p. m.
The Senate also adopted a resolution
by Foraker directing the interstate
commerce commission to inform the
Senate whether the commodity
clause of interstate commerce act
has been complied with since May 1,
1908, and if not whether non-com
pliance by the railroads has been due
to any agreements, arrangement or
understanding between the railroad
companies and the authorities.
An amendment by Culberson
agreed to also call on the commission
to state its reasons for the recom
mending the extension of two years
in the time given the roads to com
ply with the commodity clause.
The conference report on the army
appropriation bill carrying an aggre
gate of $95,377,246 was adopted. This
amount was $3,463,000 less than the
bill cararied when it was first passed
by the Senate. Senator Warner con
cluded his speech on the Brownsville
iff air, his closing remark calling forth
a statement from Foraker that the
western paper had announced that
the President recently wrote to Sen
ator Smith of Michigan to the effect
that he had not changed his mind as
to the guilt of the negro soldiers.
Foraker suggested an introduction
of that letter in the record would be
nteresting but Smith said he did not
make it public and could not do so.

Detectives Now Searching For the
Woman's Trunks.
LA PORT, May 6.-A possible so
lution of the Gunness farm mystery
which was deepened today when four
additional bodies were found in the
barnyard were developed this after
noon. Evidence that nine dismember
ed corpses were unearthed yesterday
and today hud been shipped to this
city, probably from Chicago, came to
light, the testimony of the draymen
who had carted the trunks and boxes
to the Gunncss home bearing this
uut. In addition the local Authorities
have received information that the
two trunks consigned to Mrs. Gun
ness wore being held in an express
office in Chicago and the assistance
of the Chicago police in unraveling
the puzzle was sought at once. Two
of the nine mutilated bodies were
identified in a qualified way this
afternoon. Antone Olson, 2410 In
diana avenue, Chicago, viewed the
remains supposed to be those of
Jennie Olson, the 16-year-old daugh
ter of Mrs. Gunncss, and pronounced
them those of his daughter. The sis
ter of the dead girl, Mrs. Leo Olan-
der, 2818 South Park avenue, Chi
cago, accompanied her father and
added her testimony regarding her
sister's characteristics. A. K. Helge
lin, whose inquiries regarding his
missing brother led to the first dis
coveries on the Gunness ' farm be
came convinced that the largest and
best preserved of the corpses is his
relative. Against this, however, is
the evidence of an autopsy per
formed on this body, by Dr. Meyer.
He found contradictory conditions
which, to his mind at least, proved
that the dead man perished long
after Helgelin is said to have disap
peared, going even so far as to say
that the corpse had been in the
ground not more than two weeks.
Ray Lamphere, who is held on the
charge of first degree of murder
growing out of the fire which de
stroyed the Gunncss home and
caused the death of Mrs. Gunncss
and three children offered no new
evidence despite the repeatd ques
tionings . Delving into Mrs. Gunness'
past, the local authorities find one
unexplained death in her family which
they think may shed light on the
present tragedy. Six years ago there
was at the farm a child named
Swanhilda suposed to have been the
daughter of Mrs. Gunncss' first hus
band. The coroner is considering an
advisability of exhuming this body.
HEROIC MEASURES
MINISTER WU.
Plans to Build Temple for His
Country Men.
NEW YORK, May 6. Minister
Wu, China's diplomatic representa
tive in Washington, who addressed
a civic forum gathering here last
night, remained over night in the city
and this afternoon will speak to his
own countrymen at a mass meeting
in Doyers street and aid in the es
tablishment of a Confucian Society,
the object of which will be to revive
the doctrines of Confucius among the
members of the Chinese colony in
the city.
In connection with this project it
is proposed to build a Confucian tem
ple in Chinatown, the plans for the
building calling for lecture room,
reading rooms, and a large assembly
hall to serve as a place for the hold
ing of sagacitis, political and social
gatherings. A large portion of the
$100,000 which it is estimated the
building will cost, has already been
ubscribed.
Young Physician Saves Man's
Leg From Amputation
NEW CURE FOR MORTIFICATION
Dr. Sullivan "Baked" the Man's Leg
in a Heat From 150 to 200 Degrees
to Induce a Rush of Blood to the
Limb.
NEW YORK, May 6.-After ex
perienced physicians had declared
that even amputation of a leg might
not save the life of a policeman Coles
Carpenter and a priest had been sum
moned to administer the last rites
of the Church, Dr. Raymond Sulli
van, a young interne in St. Mary's
Hospital succeeded by the alternate
baking and freezing process in saving
Carpenter's life and leg.
While stepping from a car last
July, Carpenter fell on a rusty nail,
wounding his right leg. Mortifica
tion set in and last December it was
decided amputation was necessary.
Dr. Sullivan said he believed he
could save the limb. As amputation
in Carpenter's condition was most
precarious, the interne was allowed
to take the case.
Dr. Sullivan, "baked" Carpenter's
leg in a heat from 150 to 200 degrees
to induce a rush of blood to the limb.
He then plunged in into an ammonia
ice tank to drive the blood out
uickly and carry away the impurities
which had caused mortification. The
treatment proved elTce'lve and early
in April Carpenter could use his leg
with the aid of crutches. Last night
he took a long walk without the
crutches. His leg will soon be normal.
PUBLIC SPEAKING.
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Wind and Rain Storm Swept Over
Portions of Three States.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 6.-Three
persons dead, several others injured,
considerable property loss and a de
moralization of traffic resulted from
the storm of wind and rain which
swept over Southern Arkansas, West
ern Tennessee and Mississippi yes
terday. The wind razed a number
of small buildings and tangled tele
graph and telephone wires, while the
;iin caused numerous washouts along
the railroads, delayed traffic and
causing other damage. The great
est damage and loss of life occurred
n Arkansas. At Marche, the Polish
settlement was badly damaged and
)ohn Jukassewicz, Mary Szczepaniak
and an unidentified man were killed,
Vencealaus Sczczepaniak sustained
probably fatally injuries and several
other Conwa and Faulkner Counties
tell of damage by the storm. Wat

University .of .Chicago .Withdraws
From Central Oratorical League.
CHICAGO. May 6.-Up to date
"man of the hour" oratory as taught
by the University of Chicago has
forced that institution to give up all
ntercollegiate contests with its sister
universities. It is declared that
flowery oratory is prized too highly
y judges who decided against Chi
cago's speakers.
So the Chicago institution has
withdrawn from the Central Orator
ical and Northern Oratorical League,
with the explanation "That it is diffi
cult to secure judges who are able
to get outside of the ancient methods
of judging."
"Training in our public speaking
department," asserted Prof, Solomon
Clark yesterday, "is the development
of thought and naturalness of ex
pression rather than the mechanical
gestures which characterize the styles
of many representatives of other col
leges." In place of intercollegiate contests
among its own students for which
large prizes will be offered.
BOMB FOR FOREMAN.
CHICAGO, May 6,-Charles W.
Kirchner and the members of his
family narrowly escaped death last
night when a mysterious bomb ex
plosion tore out the front of their
residence and broke windows in all
the adjacent houses. Kirchner is a
lumber foreman. .
The explosion aroused much ex
citement. Hurried calls were se'nt
for the police, but the perpetrators
escaped. Kirchner lays the plot to
labor troubles, and admits that he
has made some enemies in looking
after the interests of his employers,
the Mears-Slayton Lumber Company.
The company offers a reward of
$500 for the arrest of the dynamiters.
COBRAS FIGHT IN ZOO.
NEW YORK, May 6.-A four cor
nered fight among cobras at the
Bronx Zoological Gardens, ensued,
when two fine specimens from Cey
lon were placed in a glass cage in
which were already two cobras from
Sumatra. In the males one of the
Sumatra reptiles was severely bitten
on the jaw. An operation upon the
injured cobra's jaw will be necessary

scraped. The cobra from Ceylon are
recent arrivals and the other snakes
which have been in the menagerie for
several years were apparently in no
mood to entertain visitors.
buildings and barns were destroyed.

ever, no one was seriously injured.
