Butta Woman Beggared By Vato Of
Shoshone Bill.
Washington, D. C.— Mrs. Katherine
MacDonald, who made a fight to over
ride the president’s veto o f a bill that
meant success or failure for herself
and her husband, is returning to a
borne in Butte, Mont., from which she
soon will be evicted. Her struggle of
years was nullified by the lack o f just
six votes in the house. A bank in
Butte, which holds the mortgage upon
her property, has withheld foreclosure
pending congressional action which
would decide whether the government
would honor time checks given labor
ers upon one o f the biggest undertak
ings o f the government, the Shoshone
irrigation project.
Mrs. MacDonald and her husband
conducted a grocery store in Butte.
The time checks o f construction com
panies engaged in government proj
ects were accepted as cash. The Mac
Donalds handled thousands o f them.
The contractor failed and the sub
contractor failed.
The MacDonalds
held about $11,000 in time checks.
The
government
completed the
work. It cost the government abont
$180,000 more than the original con
tract price.
The contractors were
bonded for $75,000.
The United
States has priority in suits against
the bondsmen.
Therefore the bank must foreclose
the mortgage, the home must be sold
and Mrs. MacDonald and her husband
must start life anew.
AM ERICANS IN DANGER.
More Marines Needed to Cu-b Over
bearing Rebels at Managua.
Washington, D. C.— More American
bluejackets and
marines probably
must be landed on Nicaraguan soil if
the safety o f American life and prop
erty there is to be assured. This was
made apparent to the officials.
Man
agua, the capital, with the American
railway station, steamboat wharves,
legation and the residences o f the
American customs officials, and many
others, is considered safe, but Am eri
can Minister W eitzel has informed
thiB government that he has taken no
tice of the report that General Kele-
don, one o f the rebel leaders, has
promised his men that they may sack
and pillage the capital.
Minister
W eitzel had determined the rebels
shall not be allowed to do so.
There is grave apprehension of a
clash between the American forces
and the rebels, who appear to have as
sumed an overbearing attitude.
The
rebellious movement appears to have
extended to the Gulf coast o f Nicara
gua, and because o f many incendiary
attempts to destroy the town, Com
mander Edwin Durell, o f the gunboat
Tacoma, landed 54 officers and sailors
to police the town. As in the case of
Managua, the American forces were
called into service by the Nicaraguan
government itself.
Ringling Big Top Burns.
Sterling, 111.— While 25,000 persons
stood waiting an opportunity to gain
admission to Ringling Bros.’ circus, a
blazing shingle from a barn that had
caught fire a few minutes previously
lit in the center o f the big tent and
soon the tent was a mass o f flames.
The blazing canvas fell inward and
carried to the ground with it all o f the
scenery and trappings that were to
have been used a few minutes later in
entertaining the crowd. The loss, ac
cording to various estimates, is placed
at from $10,000 ta $50,000.
Penrose Promises Reply.
Washington, D. C.— Senator Boies
Penrose, o f Pennsylvania, announced
he would make a privileged statement
in the senate regarding certain corres
pondence with John D. Archbold, of
the Standard Oil company.
The al
leged correspondence has been made
the basis o f general charges that Sen
ator Penrose accepted financial aid
from Archbold about the time o f the
presidential campaign o f 1904, and
that the money received was used in
connection with that campaign and
Theodore Roosevelt’s election.
Infantile Dread Apoears.

Washington, D. C.— For the third
time the house passed a legialative,
executive and judicial bill over the
veto o f President T a ft by a vote of
161 to 53, but in the senate the effort
to pass it failed, 34 to 27. As a re
sult, the house amended the measure
to provide a continuing appropriation
for the Commerce court until March
4, 1913, passed it and sent it to the
senate appropriation committee with
good prospects that it will pass the
senRte.
The solution o f the deadlock be
tween congress and the whole White
House is believed to have been found
and as a result adjournment now
looms appreciably nearer.
When it was found that the chief
executive had been overruled by the
house by a 3-to-l vote, there was a
tumult o f applause. Hut when it was
put through after the failure o f the
senate to follow the house lead, there
were less than 30 members in their
seats, there was no debate and scarce
ly an audible vote.
Mr. T a ft expressed his delight at
the failure o f the Democratic plan.
No intimation was given at the W hite
House as to whether the new compro
mise would be acceptable to the presi
dent, but senate and house leaders are
confident the measure will be signed.
