BODIES OF KEARNEY AND LAWRENCE RECOVERED. Indications That They Met Death Soen After Striking Water, £|_ Los Angeles, Dec, 19.—The bodies ot Horace Kearney, aviator, and Chester Lawrence, newspaper man, rescued from the sea, lie side by side tonight in a little undertaking shop at Re- ondo Beach. They met death in an attempted hydro-aeroplane flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Ten hours after the body of the Yyoung reporter, battered almost be- yond recognition by waves and rock: was found on the precipitous coast near Rocky Point, that of Kearney was | picked up a mile away at sea by a searching, party. Kearnt's body was found entangled | in kelp ahd partly attached «to a life preserver, the white cloth of which at- tracted the searchers to the spot. There was every indication that Kearney had met death soon after his hydro-aeroplane struck the water. The life preserver had not been buckled about him. His hands were gloveless and clenched. Little doubt remains that the aero- plane and its passengers made the fa- tal drop within fifteen minutes after it was last sighted last Saturday by vatchers at San Pedro, disappearing into the haze beyond Point Firmin, which marks the entrance to Los An- geles harbor. Kearney and Lawrence could not have bheen more than five m’les from shore when a treacherous jamr cnrrent or a defective engine drop- ped them to ihe water. AN INJUNCTION ISSUED AGAINST CUCKOO SHEETS. 0 Prevents Insertion of AdvertisingMat- ter by Newsdeale: New York, D 19.—In line with recent court action in Manhattan against the insertion of advertising pages—'cuckoo sheets,” as they have been called—beiween the leaves of Sunday newspapers, Justice Stapleton in the supreme court of Brooklyn to- day granted a temporary injunction against a department store in that borough ordering it to stop the prac- tice. The order was issued in_the course » | of a suit brought by a New York news- paper which alleged that the firm had caused unpaid advertising matter to be distributed with the newspapers on pages identical in size and typograph- icai makeup with the newspapers’ ad- vertising pages. A permanent injunc- tion was asked. ITn Manhattan a news- dcaler was adjudged guilty of disorder- 1y conduct in persisting in the insertion of similar advertising matter between the sheets of the newspapers distrib- uted from his stand. “If a man controlled the credit-of a | ENDING QUIZ OF 106 PRISONERS, v, he would have control of all Korean Leaders and Lesser Defendants Not Agreed.

PLOT TO DYNAMITE THE DENVER MINT Government Learns of It and Places Double Guards There, Denver, Colo, Dec. 19.—A plot to dynamite the Denver mint where ap- proximately $500,000,000 is stored, was frustrated by the discovery of the plans two weeks ago on the floor of the public comfort station near th federal building. . It became known today that the lans had been turned over to federal officials and that Washington author- ities had ordered the doubling of the guards at the mint. It had been plan- ned to wreck the building with nitro- glycerine. Nothing tending to iden- tify the conspirators has Leen found. TO CREATE SENSATION. Director Reberts Says That Was Prob- able Intent of Schemers. Washington, D. C, Dec. 19— Director of the Mint G. A. Roberts is not seriously disturbed over the plot to blow up the Denver mint with dynamite. The plans of the proposed*dynamit- ing plot were received by Mr. Roberts some time ago. They were written on two sheets of paper, the author of which was not disclosed and accord- ing to Mr. Roberts, outlined the plot in a vague way. It didn't show how the plot was to be carried out, Mr, Roberts said, and Jooked to him a good deal like a scheme to create a sensa- tion. After he had scrutinized the plans carefully Mr. Roberts advised the su- perintendent of the Denver mint to take special precautions. WORK OF IMBECILE. Letter Probably Written by Person of Unbalanced Mind. Denver, Col, Dec. 19.—Investigation of the report that a plot to dynamite the Denver mint and rob it of its con- tents of almost $500,000,000 had been discovered today brought out the fact that a reference to blowing up _the building was made by a person whose mind is evidently unbalanced. Three weeks ago the letter was sent through the mails. It was written in Denver, addressed “Public Comfort Station, Denver.” The postman deliv- ered it to the janitor at the station and he, after reading it, turned it over to { Chief of Police O’'Neill. The writer suggested that, since there were persons in Denver out of work, and many who have little money, it was not just to hoard a vast amount of gold and silver in the mint. It was his idea that a great charge of dyna- mite should be placed under the bufld- ing and the $500,000,000 in ~old and bullion be scattered all over the city, so that everyone might help himself. The police turned the letter over to the federal authorities, who forwarded it to Washington. OBITUARY. Amelia Woodruff Truesdale.

BLOCK CONFIRMATION Taft's Appointments Held Up on Tech- nicalities—Senator Smoot Draws the | Fire of Senator Hoke Smith. | Washington, Dec. 19.—Congress ad- Journed for the Christmas holiddys to- day after some lively manoeuvreing to get President Taft's message Into the record, secure action on the presi- dent’s recent appointments and bring proceedings in the Archbald impeach- ment trial to a point where they may be disposed of early in January. The house was unable to get a quorum and adjourned after a 17 minute session without even having received the president’s message. The message waited for four hours to secure entrance into the senate. ‘When that body convened at noon the republican senators asked for immed- late consideration again of their de- mand for an executive session to take up ‘appointments. Four Hours’ Fight Over Offices. The democrats consented to the plan and until the impeachment trial au- tomatically took' the floor at 1.30 o'clock the senate fought over the fill- ing of presidential offices, with the de- bate carried on behind tightly closed doors. It was not until the impeach- ment court adjourned about four o'clock that the president’s message was received and read. Both houses of congress adjourned to meet on Thursday, January 2. The senate sitting as a court of impeach- ment, will reconvene Friday, January 8. The house money trust committee, winding up its session with J. P. Mo gan at 3.30 adjourned until 2 o’clock Monday, -January 6. Practically " all business of congress will stand in abeyance throughout the holiday re- cess and a majority of the members of both houses will leave Washington for the vacation. One Appointment Confirme The senate confirmed but one ap- pointment, that of John H. Brown as postmaster at Concord, N. H., in the hour and a half of execufive debate. No action was taken on the reappoint- ment of Edgar H. Clark, whose term ! as interstate commerce commissioner expires December 31. Senator Hoke Smith acting for many democrats, of- fered a resolution for the confirmation of army and navy appointments, but the republican senators insisted on starting at the head of the list for the consideration of postmasters. A Technical Point Raised. Objections . by Senator Hitchcock, democrat, that the post office appoint- ments had not received consideration by the full membership of the post| office committee, drew the declaration from Senator Lodge that, if this puint was forced, it would be embarrassing throughout’ the administration of | Woodrow Wilson. Senator Lodge de- clared that the senate had always fol- lowed the precedent of confirming post office appointments on the recom- mendation of the sub-committees or individual senators to which they were referred. Senator Hitchcock finally withdrew his objections, but no ac- tion was taken on any of the other post office appointments. Smoot Draws Fire of Hoke Smith, Figures presented by Senator Smoot to show in previous changes of admin- istration the senate had always con- firmed the appointments of the retir- ing presidents, met a sharp reply from Senator Hoke Smith. He declared that President Taft had sent over thirteen hundred appointments to the senate during three weeks of this session, while President Cleveland sent in but four hundred appointments during the whole three months of the last con- gress of the first Cleveland term. | AR LT e [ | COUNTERFEITING PLANT | LOCATED IN BOSTON. Street | House Under Arrest. Boston, Dec. 19.—A counterfeiting plant bustling with activity in the turning out of quarters and dimes was discovered in a raid by federal officers | and the police tonight at a house in Cooper sireet, in the heart of the Ital- ian quarter of the North End. Joseph Vitroana, 43, was in the act of picking up a coin hot from a mold when United States Deputy Cameron grabbed him. The quarter dropped squarely into the deputy’s hand, caus- ing a severe burn. James Anthony and Mrs. Matilda Anthony, 23, the other; occupants of the roém, were also tak- | en into custody. In the room the officers found a fully equipped counterfeiting plant. Besides a melting pot which was in use, there were numerous fine molds and quanti- ties of metal and alloy. TWO AUCTIONEERS WERE BLED BY THE POLICE Suspension of Another Policeman. New York, Dec. 19.—Developments today in the inquiry into alleged police graft and into vice conditions generally included the suspension of another po- lice officer and the opening of a fresh line of testimony relating to alleged tribute levied upon innocent men un- der threat of arrest. The suspension of the policeman came as part of an investigation or- dered by Police Commissioner Waldo who.has subpoenaed a number of high officials in the department to submit to questioning as a result of graft stories told by disorderiy resort keep- ers. At the aldermanic hearing two auc- tioneers testified they paid five police- men $1,300 for immunity from arrest after articles purported to have peen stolen were “planted” near their stora and they had been falsely accused.

Bridgeport, Conn,, Dec. 19—States Attorney Stiles Judson outlined defi- | nitely in the criminal superior court this afternoon the c: Proposes to prove a st the four Ital- fans now on trial for the murder of Jennie Cavagheri in Stratford last October. The state will attempt to show, said Mr. Judson, that the victim of the shooting was slain by “Chicago Joe” Buonomi because she had know- ledge of a crime committeed by him in Chicago, and that the other men now on trial with him, James Matt Frank Pizzichemi and James Ricco, were selected by Buoromi as his aids in the plot against the woman, because they lived the manner of life he liv- ed. which the state Woman Was “White Slave.” The state will alsosattempt to show, said Mr. Judsong,that Buonomi used the woman for immoral purposes in Chicago, New York and Bridgeport and that before she left Chicago he made arrangements for her to come to this city. The statement by Mr. Judson follow- ed his offering in evidence, certain brass checks found in a bag which had belonged to the dead woman and | which was picked up near where her body lay. The counsel for the defense interposed strong objection to the ad mission of the checks, and the jury was excused while the attorneys argued the mat@pr. After the argu- ments Judge Cae overruled the ob- Jection of the defense and the checks were entered as an exhibit. Andrew Capone Still Missing. Another feature of the day's pro- ceedings. was the bringing in for the first time, other than the reading in the indictment ,of the name of Andrew Capone of New Haven, as one of the five men who accompanied the woman to her death ,and who i sindicted with the others. He has not yet been cap- tured. Most of the testimony given today had to do with the hunt for the ac- cused in and about Stratford on the night of the murder, and the witnesses called were citlzens and officers of ! Stratford and officers of Shelton and Derby who detalled the part which | they had taken In the capture of the accused. Contrary fo expectations, the state did not finish the putting in its evi- dence today. Cloth Bag Introduced. State Policeman Frank Virelli was the _state wheny court re- sumed in the afternoon to identify a black cloth bag found near the spot where the body of the woman had lain, and to identify the articles it contained. The bag and its contents had been turned over to him by Medi- cal Examiner Coggswell of Stratford. The bag and its contents were ad- | mitted as exhibits after arguments at some length by counsel over the admis- sion of a number of brass checks found in the bag. During the arguments the | jury was excused and States Attorney Judson outlined the case which the state will endeavor to_prove. Saloon-Keeper Testifies. The testimony of Joseph De Viva, a saloon-keeper of Water street, aroused considerable interest as jt was from that saloon, it is alleged that the party started on the ride which ended in Stratford. It was there also it has been testified that two bottles of champagne were purchased. The liquor was bought by and charged to Capone, De Vita testified, and was a sparkling champagne or Described Effects of Liquor. A ‘bottle of wine was placed in evi- ing of the same kind as that sold to Capone. He was asked by the state attorney to describe the strength of the liquor and a slight titter went around the room when he said that while a good strong man might drink a bottle of it, a bottle and a half would “put him on the ground.” The bottle in court was a quart bottle. COMMITTEE ANIMATED BY PARTISAN PURPOSES. Valentine’s Comments on the Stric- tures on Him in Its Report. Boston, Dec. 19.—Robert G. Valen- tine, former commissioner of Indian affalrs, tonight issued a statement re- garding the charges against him con- tained in the report of the committee on expenditures of the interior de- partment. Mr. Valentine said in part: “I left absolutely of my own initia- tive to enter a new fleld of work. I rest content with my administration and I refer to any fair minded person who has any knowledge of the Indian bureau or my work for the affirmative accomplishments in the cause of sani- tation and health, progressive educa- tion, efficient organization and upbulld- ing and support of the personnel and an honest, clean and single hearted ad- ministration generally. “I had to fight many kinds of well intrenched special interests and indi- vidual greed, all of which forces have singly or together left no stone un- turned to discredit my administration and my personal character. “Therefore, T must be pardoned for refusing to be in the least disturbed by the findings of a committee led by par- tisan purposes and turned over large- ly in its so-called investigation to the guidance of the attorney for a dis- charged employe.” 4 Urged Boys to Remain on Farms. ‘Washington, Dec. 19, — President Taft at the White House today strong- ly encouraged the “back to the coun- try movement” in an address to a del- egation of boys who participated in the Ohio corn growing contest.

In the meantime the allies are con centrating greater forces along the Tchatalfa front to enable them if war is resumed to arrive at Constantinope within-a few days.
