St. Michael's, Md, June 27.—The theory that Edith May Woodill was lured to “Lame Bob” Eastman's lone- 1y bungalow without knowledge of ‘Where she was going, and that she was drugged and detained there against her will, was advanced today when a turther search of the shack which the superstitious folk of the neighborhood will always shun as haunted, revealed a small bottle which a hasty exami- nation showed contained a mixture of narcotic dru There were strong traces of morphine in the nearly empty bottle. Eastman’s Drunken Orgy Story Dis: credited. Thais discovery tends to bear out the theory which the people of the com- munity who knew and loved the girl long have wanted to believe. TWey never have listened to the idea that she was involved in a drunken orgy ! at the bungalow and have contended that she lost her life in repulsing the advances of the man, who acknowl- edged his guilt by snuffing out his lite when it scemed that the bands of the law were about to be laid upon him. Today's investigations led the au- thorities still furtber away from the idea that any one other than Eastman had @ hand in the murder: Eastman Buried. In the new-made grave, mot fifty feet from the scene of the crime which led him to death, Eastman's body was laid away in the early hours of the day. The undertakers and their assistants, a little band of newspaper men and a few idle persons morbidly attracted to the strange funeral pro- cession, were the only persons at the grave. With bared heads they repeat- ed the familiar words of the Lor_(l‘! Prayer. Mrs. Eastman, storming twelve miles away, at Easton, express- ed no desire to attend the funeral. At the Lonely Grave. 1t was 6.30 o'clock this morning when the casket containing Eastman's remains were replaced in the roughly fashioned country hearse, and the un- dertakers and the rest of the little funeral party started from St. Mi- chaél's on the sevenmile trip to the ‘bungalow. A more lonely spot could not well be Imagined than where the bungalow #tands. Scrub pines form a back- round, while in front a green marsh rv.-lds away through the shore grasses to the open waters of Broad creek. When the hearse had drawn up alongside the grave, four men lifted the casket from the vehicle and placed it temporarily on two plank supports stretched across the grave, into which a pine box already had been lowered. Marsh water had grave over night. Merchant closed It again. Officiated, Repeating sapped into the the Lord’s Prayer. 4 The undertaker drew back the shiding lid of the casket so that all might see that it was Eastman was being con- signed to his last resting place and The casket was then sunk into the grave. One of the under- takers looked around with a certain uneasiness of manner. “Gentlemen,” he sai d, “it seems to me that someone should say a little word of prayer. ‘Won't one of you?” His glance fell upon James Sutton, a merchant of ozman. “You are a church r Sutton,” said the undertaker, “won’t you sa y it member, Mr. Sutton hesitated for a minute, then, asking all to join with him, began to repeat the Lord's Prayer. ‘When the Jast words of the prayer were uttered Sutton stepped forward and filling his hand with sandy loam from beside the grave thrice tossed the sandy loam upon the casket he muttered: “Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” Search of Bungalow Resumed After Fune: After the funeral there was another search of the bungalow, and concealed beneath the floor was found the small drug bottle. The sheriff late yesterday seized all of Eastman’s meagre household effects sty an action for debt brought by a local creditor, and the bungalow today was empty. to sat The search of the eabin revealed further evidence that the murder was committed there. At the place where the head of the bed had rested part of the older flooring had been ripped up and new planks had been laid loosely Beneath these planks the floor beam had been newly scraped with a chisel or some other gharp instrument, But the efforts to remove all blood stains had failed. They still were there and the ground below had absorbed a quantity of the girl's bleod. Particular search was made today for any fragments of a champagne pottle which might bear out Eastman's statement that Mrs. Woodill was mur- dered by another woman in a jealous frenzy, but none was found.

BTREET CAR STRIKE, PITTSBURGERS WALK Under a Broiling Sun and During Thunder Showers. Pittsburg, June 27.—Greater Pitts- Surg walked today during intermittent hunder showers and a broiling sun. Since 5 6%lock this morning only one treet car carrying the United States smail has moved in the city or suburbs. Persons living in outer Allegheny rounty used the hastily peovided shut- lle trains of the Pennsylvania railway und the Baltimore and Ohio. On the jrains the travel was extraordinarily [szht, so much so that at moon the rail- ways replaced the five minute sched- ules with an hourly service. Downtown Pittsburg was' deserted the entire day except at the headquar- Ters of the Amaigamated Association ®f Streeh and Eleciric Railway Em- loves and the offices of the Pittsburg ailway company. The_entire day was marked by but one clash between union men and would-be strike breakers. Two negroes applied to the superintendent at the Hamewood car barns for situations.and were set upon by alleged union sym- pathizers and chased from the district. The police were notified, but no ar- rests were made. ZOLA RIOT IN PARIS. Prompted by Celebration of the Shoof- ing of Dreyfus. Paris, June 27—A meeting last night arranged by Louis Gregori to com- memorate the shooting of Major Drey- fus at the honoring of Zola in the Pantheon, was marked by a violent disturbance. While an orator was protesting against the transfer of the body of Zola to the Pantheon, a group of young republicans ~entered the hall. They hooted and _interrupted the speaker, and a free fight followed be- tween nationalists and republicans. The latter, who were in the minority, ‘were worsted. Senator Delpech’s son was seriously burt and sevgral of his companions were badly bruised. After the expul- sion of the republicans the Gregori adherents resumed their celebration. MEDICAL AID BY WIRELESS. Surgeon at Sea Sends Prescription to Island 150 Miles Away. New Orleans, June 27.—Medical as- sistance by wireless is the latest tri- umph added to the list of achieve- ments in this branch of telegraphy, a cordipg to the wireless operator on the steamship Cartago, which arrived here Friday. ‘When the vessel was one hundred and fifty miles off Swan Island a wire- less message addressed to the sur- geon of the Cartago was_picked up. It read: “Employe John D. Graham, Bwan island, suffering blood poison re- sult of cutting foot. Send prescrip- tion.” The surgeon of the Cartago immed- ately sent the prescription by wireless. Later messages told of the injured man’s gradual improvement. Ya KL Commencement Gathering at Woolsey Hall.

House Waiting for U: ies Commit- tee to Move—The Senate Watching the House—Mass of Business Ahead. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, June 26.—What the gen- eral assembly is going to do about ad- Journing over the summer is ¢ngaging the attention of a good many people up here these days, though not so much is being said about it as was the case a weekl or two ago. The house is wait- ing to see what the special-committes on public utilities is going to do and what some other committees are going t0 do and the senate Is waiting to see what the house is going to do. If con- ditions regarding the public utilities matter and some other things are not satisfactory to the louse, and the weather continues hotand some bright soul gets up and shows the lower body what a mass of business is still ahead of the legislature, about this week or next week, there fs a pretty good chance that the house will adjourn over until next fall or winter, passing a resolution under which it would re- imburse its members for certain ex- pense incurred during the session in the sum of $300, and drawing the reg- ular $300 salary at the end of the next session The Third House Opposed. Should the house do this, the senate would follow suit before the sun set the same da; The third house is de- cidedly against any such move. There are a number of matters which the lobby desires to see settled up. The leaders of the republican party in this state are not yet convinced that such a move would be a good one. The op- ponents of the public utilities commis- slon would like to have that matter meet the fate which is surely coming to it during the dog days, if the gen- eral assembly stays here and tries t) digpose of that and other business. At tHe same time, all these interests and gentlemen have a very different house and a different general assembly to reckon withpthan has been the case in recent years, and there is no know- ing when the house will take the bit in its teeth. Assembly Nowhere Near Through. To go over the mass of business which s still before the general as- sembly and refer to the fact that pret- ty much everything which has yet to be reported, and refer to the fact that pratty much everything which has yet to be reported of the forty or fitty mat- ters that the committees still hold, will cause a fight in either or both houses, and that sort of thing is trite, Suffice it to say that at the meeting of coamittee chairmen on Tuecday last the news brought by the different chairmen was in the aggregate very discouraging. The general assembly is nowhere near through, and nobody can say when it will get through; that was the gist of it. Meantime every- body awaits developments and a num- Dber of the senators are planning to leave Connecticut by the middle of next month, some of them to go to Europe. The Public Utilities Bill. The public_utilities special commit- tee is sore of fussing along, finding it no easy job to frame any sort of & bill. The members of it who were 3 few weeks ago so hot for a commis- sion_are in a very different frame of mind these days, and there s no such push behind the commission idea as was the case awhile back It is very doubtful if the special committee re- ports the bill at all. Chandler of Rocky Hillkmay report something by way of a minority report or may ar- range with Whiton of New London to do this, though even this is doubtful. The committee has had but ene exec- utive session, on Tuesday of last week, and will have another Monday morning at 10, when it expects to re- main in session all day, or until it gets somewhere, if it is possible to get any- where. If_a bill is reported it will follow the Massachusetts plan, by which only recommendatory powers are given a commission, which sits to hear the complaints or petitions of citizens and then makes recommendations to cor- porations engaged in the public ser- vice. These recommendations are not binding, but it is to he understood that the commission will go to the next leg- islature to make them binding, if they are not complied with, and in Massa- chusetts it has been found that the corporations invariably comply with them for its own best Interests. The personnel of the commission, which will have five members at salaries of $5,000 each, will be that of the present rail- road commission, with two members added, and it will have jurisdiction over all public utilities corporations. Then when such a bill reaches the house it will be in a tangled state of affairs and many and varying opinions, S0 that the possibilities as to killing it off will look good for the opponents of | Any commission. Auto Bill Out of the Way. The house has at last done one £00d thing: it ha got rid of the automobile bill, which was so muchly amended last week and had been printed in its amended form when it was taken up Friday and finally passed, after some of its enemies tried to stick a knife in it once more. Chairman ILeete of the comunittee on roads, bridges and riv- ers, who fought this bill through the house, certainly deserves a good deal of credit not alone for his able way of handling the measure, but also for keeping his temper in the face of try- ing situations brought about by mem- bers for the simple purpose of harass- ing him. 2 The amended bl doubles the regis- tration fees for autos, and really more than that, for while it starts with $6 a year for cars below 20 horse power, it regrades them so that cars of 40 horse power and over pay $30, which is three times the highest fee at pres- ent. This is & splendid thing Anoth- struck the derailed car. | recent Disaster on Erie -Railroad FIREMAN HENRY DOLAN AND A FARE BEATER KILLED.

New York, June 27.—The sailors of the battleships Connecticut, Nebraska and Rhode Island, which are at the navy yard being fitted out for the summer manoeuvres of the Atlantic fleet, are wondering if Rear Admiral Schroeder's recommendation to the secretary of the navy, that cigarette smoking on the ships be forbidden, is to be approved. If Secretary Meyer approves the recommendation, as it is said he will, there will be & lot of unhappy. sailors in the navy “We simply cmpnot stand it sald a sailor of the Magship Connecticut yesterday, “and If the order goes out it's going to break many a good sail- or's heart, for there ain’t anything like a dreamstick to make time on the ocean pass quick.

Cigars cost too much for us, and, be= des, they dom't taste good, like the en for a nickel smoke, anyhow. ‘There's fellows on' this ship that can't exist without the right kind of & smoke, and pipes and cigars are not the right kind for them.” The officers were more or less non- communicative about the effects of the order if it promulgated.
