tho Matson liner Manoa from Honolulu

Details of tho ca.se were received by
wireless from Captain Weeeden. Mrs.

custom was to sleep with her gems ajid
several thousand dollars in travelers'
checks in a satchel under her pillow.
She put them in their usual place Sun

Though the ship has been Searched

turns which cannot be completed before
Welnesday. Underwood's majority was
increasing as tho count progressed, an I
it was generally predicted that his mar

the minimum figuro given.
Though both candidates spoke confi
dently when the vote began, good po
litical judges said all along Under
wood 's chances were much tho better

however, was something of a surprise,
as Iliibson was expected to make n
stronger showing by virtue of national
prohibition advocates, whose cause he
preached throughout tho campaign,
while nt the same time denouncing In

Arguments and Evidence Lim
ited to 15 Days on Pana
ma Canal Bill.
Washington, April 7. Tho senate.
adopted this afternoon Senator Brande
gee's resolution asking for all lotters,
correspondence and records in the state
department's hands bearing on the ne
gotiations in connection with the Hay
Fatincefote treaty, under which it is
both asserted and denied that it was
intended American shipping would be
required to pay the same tools as th.it
of other nations to pass the Panama
canal.
Hearings beforo the senate inter
oceanic canals committee of arguments
and evidence, beginning Thursday and
limited to fifteen days, for and against
the repeal of American shipping's ex
emption from tolls at Panama, was
agreed to today. Senator Brandegee
dissented, opposing pny hearings at all
on the ground that the tolls prnpositioi,
already had been discussed until tho
subject is exhausted,
. Owen Opposed to Delay.
Discussion of the question of hear
ings on the Canal tolls proposition was
lively and at times somewhat acriino':
ious. Senators Thorton, Thomas ai d
Simmons joined llrandegee in objecting
to &n "hearings at all. Senators
0 . barman, liristow and Perkins wanted
to.mako them as exhaustive as possible.
Senator Owen was not present, but a
telegram was received from him saying
he was opponed to delaying matters by
discussion.
"The time spent on hearings will be
utterly and ' absolutely wasted," In
sisted Hraiidegee. If the committee
must have a witness he suggested that
the ono best able to givo all the faei
wns President Wilson. Senator Shields
suggested Bryan, and liristow mnn
tioned ex-Secretary of State Knox.
Says Shipping Interests B isy,
Thorton charged that tho shiiqiinij in
terests were trying to delay the repeal
proposition, and asserted that tho ten
dency would bo to spin the hearings out
indefinitely.
Senator .(ones, who appeared befois
the committee, urged that Seattle, Fort
land and other cities of the Pacific
northwest be grunted a hearing on the
repeal question
Resolution Referred.
Prior to the adoption of the resolu
tion, the t-onnto by a vote of i" to Z
referred to tho foreign relations com
mitteo an amended resolution intro
duced by Kointor Poindexter asking
President Wilson "if not incompatible
with public interest," to tell tho senate
exactly what the international situation
is that requires the passage, of tho tolls,
repeal act.
(Senator Poindexter changed tho reso
lution, withdrawing lhat portion of it
binding tho senate to not consider tho
Sims repeal resolution until the presi
dent complied with the request. Poin
dexter sni.l perhaps the same reasons
President Wilson confided to .Senator
Thornton nnd which resulted in the
latter switching to the repeal resolu

Defense ' That McClaueherty
Was Over 21 Years Old
Not Valid.
LEWIS DAVIS IS
GIVEN NEW TRIAL
Former Inmate of Asylum Gets
New, Trial as Result of
Judge's Errors.
The supreme court handed down
seven opinions 'today, besides passing
upon several petition for rehearing, etc.
One of the most important, because it
is practically tho first interpretation of
tho workmen's compensation law, ib
that of Joseph McClsugherty versus the
Rogue River Electric company. This
action is brought under the employers'
liability act to recover damages for
the : death of plaintiff's son. Th
amotind sued for was $25,000 and the
judgment was for $12,500. The su
preme court finding no errors affirmed
the findings of the lower court.
The deceased wns 27 years, seven
months and ten days' old, and it was
part of tho defense that being of age
tho father was not entitled to recover.
The facts were about as follows: D.)
ceased was sent by the defendant com
pany to install a cyanide plant At 'a
point about a mile and a hilf from
Jacksonville, Ho asked for an assist
ant and Wns told to hire a common
laborer to help him erect the jiolet.
Tho place where ho worked was very
dangerous, several wires carrying ea.'h
2,300 volts of electricity were strung
close together on the poles with two
telephone wire . .string diemMilh there.
The company took a- care to cat oif
tho cnrroiit'nor did it do anything
towards protecting the workman. The
'supreme court sjayn: "Tho require
ments of the statute are positive and
mandatory. There are no alternatives.
The statute provides that for loss of
lifo by reason of neglect or failure to
comply therowith, by en owner, con
tractor, or any person liable under the
tho terms of tho act; the widow of tin
person, his lineal heirs, or adopted chil
dren, or tho husband, mother or father,
as tho ease may bo, shall have the right
of action witout any limit as to ninouni
of damages."
Davis Goto New Trial.
In tho caso of the stato against
tewis Davis appetiled from Polk conn
ty tho court reversed tho lower court
and remanded tho case for a new trial.
Tho court held it was error to instruct
tho jury that: "The porson using a
deadly weapon intended the conse
quences which hnpened from tho
irimo, " saying this Iocs not coma un
der within the statutory presumptions.
It also held it was error to instruct
the jury that if thoy found from the
evidence beyond a reasonable doubt
that tho defendant was justified ir
shooting they should find him not
guilty, and if they ,lii not find beyond
a riiisonable doubt that the defendant
was justifiod he should bo found guilty.
In the lower court the defendant wis
found guilty of murder in the second
degree.
Tho other cases were as follows:
