One of the most Important matters to come before this session will be the report of the national legislative committee. At the Asheville session, by unanimous vote, the Incoming committee was positively instructed to exert all its efforts in bebail one bill.”" At the first and only national legislative com- mittee it was decided to Issue blank petitions urging the passage of the Stone bill, but when the petitions were lssued they containel an extra paragraph petitioning congress to appoint a non-partisan immigration commit- of the * meeting held by t tee. According to Mr. Stone's own statement this to a very great extent injured the efi- clency of the petition. It is understood that a majority of the committee will rec- ommend that ‘the Stone fmmigration bill be dropped entirely and a substitute prepared. It is certain that this will not give perfect satistaction, for it is alleged by many that this would be selling tie order out just when, after years of hard work, it has ex- cellent prospects of accomplishing what it has been laboring so hard for.

WASHINGTON, June 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Bids for the interior finish of the public building at Burlington, Ia, were opened in the office of the supervising archi- tect of the treasury today. A peculiar cir- cumstance. In connection with the bids was that the proposal of the lowest bidder, the Groves-Tlacket Contracting company of St. Joseph, Mo., of $16, was mot accom- panied by a certified check, and the bid of Charles W. Gindele of Chicago, the next low- est at $19,300, was unsigned, although the check which he sent was signed, as was also an explanatory note whichi accompanfed the proposal. It is probable that the bid of the Contracting company will be rejected and the contract awarded to Gindele. The other bids were: James E. Shover, Indianapolis, $20,500; J. L. Schneider, Atlanta, Ga., $2 i George W. Corbett, Washington, D. 3; The Dawson Construction compauy, Toledo, 0., $24.370; Sternberg & Dodge, Wichita, Kan., $20749; G.

L Coxey Takes it Philosophieally, PHILADELPHIA, June 16.—General Coxey learned of his daughter's marriage last night and said: “I shall not make any trouble when I reach home. My decision on this question was reached some time ago. 1 told Mr. Brown three weeks ago that he should provide a home for his wife and sup- port her there. I have advised her as to the step she has taken and have nothing to re- lato on ‘that point. In an interview I had with my daughter in this city I advised her to postpone her marriage until such time as he proved his stability to care for her. She has chosen to overlook my adyice, and there is absolutely nothing more that I can say except that my home will be open to her at any time In the future should she repent of her bargain.” General Coxey will leave for Massillon early tomorrow morning. —_—— Farmer Found Murdered. ERIE, Kan, June 16.—The body of Farmer Peterson, a bachelor about 60 years of age who lived alone, was found by neigh- bors hidden in the manger of his barn last night. The body was covered with hay and old horse blankets were thrown over the hay as if to cover up all traces of the crime, The neighbors had missed seeing tho old man around for about a week, and, becoming suspicious, went to his house. They found it unlocked and no one in. The condition of the furniture indicated that there had been a great struggle, and the searchers went to the barn, where they soon located the man’s body. The old man is thought to have had considerable money, some of which he intended to invest in a few days,’ but nome of it could be found. There Is not the slightest clue. i Fonr Unknown Tramps Killed. CHARLESTON, S.

DES MOINES, Ia, June 16.—(Special)— Mayor Hillls, when asked by your corre- spondent what he was going to do about pool selling at the mile track at the June meeting, Manager Davies having stated that he would do as he felt about the matter, the mayor said: “Nothing will change my action in the matter; I have taken no backward step and wiil not do so. I am now, as always, in favor of enforcing the laws on the statuto books. Whether pool selling is gambling Is something of an open question among attorneys, and doubt s entertained whether a conviction of any kind could be secured under the statutes of this state. Last fall at the October meet- ing 1 asked the city solicitor for an opinion on this point, and he inclined to the belief that it was so doubtful a favorablo result could be secured that it was scarcely worth while to bring actions against the pool sellers under the laws as at present existing. My action will depend more on the law as ap- plied to tho case than anything else. It seems to me to bo useless to go into litiga- tion over the matter .unless we are protty sure of being ablo to bring about a satisfac- tory consummation.” At the Octoher meeting the church federa- tion secured the arrest of the chief of police, police judge and aldermen and one or two other officials on the charge of buying pools, but they were never convicted, as neither were the pool sellers, and the mayor inclines to the belief that prosecutions by the city would be useless. The assistant city solici- tor believes pool sellers can be indicted for gambling, which is covered by the statutes, though pool selling is not specified as a form of gambling which may be prosecuted.
