TARTR LETHSES — S5 \_\\\\‘w W ALIRA PRETTY SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL LURED AWAY FROM HER NIGHT Pretty 16-year-old Bertha Harvey sud- denly disappeared from her home, 7 Bowle avenue, last Sunday night, when the storm was at its height. The grief- | stricken mother reported her daughter's disappearance to the police, believing something fll had befallen her child. Yes- terday, however, Mrs. Newburg. mother | of the girl, and who formerly was Mrs. Harvey, learned that Bertha had beéh lured from her home by the mother's di- vorced husband and that both had fled to Redding, Shasta County, where Harvey lives Mrs. vey five 3 says wburg was divorced from Har- rs ago. Bertha, the mother w a perfectly contented ana »y &irl until about a month ago, when rvey by artful means and with the as- nce of a fortune teller turned the against her mother and home. The girl had been visiting a fortune teller on Market street recently great frequency. Harvey addressed his mail to this place and Bertha wouid call there for it. She frequently listened as the seeress read her past and future. In the dark of last Bunday night, when the rain was falling heavily, Bertha dis- appeared through the rear entrance of the home, Her mother discovered shortly afterward that she was gone and sent her husband into the street to look for her, but he returned without any trace of the missing girl Mrs. Newburg was griet-stricken. That s night she lay awake, wondering what pos- | could have happened to her child. he realized how strangely Bertha had been acting, apparently discontented. She was a pupil of the Franklin Grammar School and some of her schoolmates also rticed the change. Yesterday Mrs. Newburg's younger girl told her mother of her sister taking her 10 the fortune teller on Market street. | Atter a visit there the mother learned Harvey was in town Sunday. Sife aced him to a Third-street ‘hotel, where he had registered under the name of Wil- liams. People saw him that night with a girl answering the description of Bertha and she later learned that the two left on the train Sunday night for Redding. | sibly Mrs. Newburg says she will go to Red- | ding and bring back her child, and if pos- sible prosecute Harvey. She denounces him as an unfit man to have custody of the girl. A year ago, She says, she was | given custody of Bertha and three | Younger children by Judge Head of Red- ding because Harvey did not take proper | care of them. | e AUPIRGT e TRIAL OF YOUNG GIRL AOCUSED OF KILLING FATHER IS BEGUN GRANTS PASS, Ore, Jan. 18.—The trial of Dora Jennings, who is jointly indicted with her brother for the mur- der of their father, was begun here to- | day. The prosecuting attorney, in out- iining the case, said that testimony would be introduced showing that Dora | confessed to the murder of her father | to her chum, Blanche Roberts. She told Miss Roberts she shot the old man while he lay sleeping. The girf's attor- ney told the jury that the defense | 'would introduce testimony proving the statement of Miss Roberts untrue. The defense expects to prove that Dora had nothing to do with the killing of her father and that she knew absolutely nothing of the murder till she awoke on the morning of September 7 and found him dead in bed. —_——————— Japnuese Contractor Apsconds. SALINAS, Jan. 18.—~About ten days ago a prominent Japanese contractor | known here, and also over the State, as Bd Oh! mysteriously disappeared, and as he had a large sum of money with him it was supposed he had been-foully | dealth with. Injuiry this merning re- sulted the revelation that Ohi is a defaulter. It is said the amount will ! aggregatc more than $12,000. From a | Japanese source it was learned that Ohi | had bought a ticket for New York, HOME AND FLED WITH HIM TO REDDING. —_— with | HOSE MOTHER SAYS SHE WAS HER FATHER ' BAST- SUNDAY IZONA WER IRE ERRACE Former Governor Murphy Denounces the House Com- mittee on Territories | WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—There was an- other stormy meeting of the House Com- | mittee on Territories to-day, Chairman Hamilton and Representative Lloyd hav- ing an angry exchange of words over | Hamilton’s former position on statehood. | Former Governor Murphy of Arizona de- clared it was useless to appear before | the committee, as the verdict was signed Ilnd sealed against them. He denounced as false the charge of corruption made | against the Arizona men who oppose joint | statehood. Chairmam Hamilton was asking a ques- | tlon showing his statehood when Lioyd of Missourl re- | marked that the change in the attitude | of Hamilton on statehood was most re- markable. Hamilton denied emphatically that he | had changed fronty and Lloyd then re- | marked that, it' was strange that the | member from Michigan had not joined in |:a minority report against individual | statehood when the House Committee on | Territdries, at a former session of Con- | gress. reported favorably on a measure to admit Arizona and New Mexico. | Hamilton explained that he was in Michi- | Ban attending a conventlon at the time | the committee took the action and conse- | quently was in no way responsible for it. Lloyd sald he would accept the apology, and the Michigan member angrily de- ciared he had made no -apology and started from his chair. He suddenly re- gained his composure, however, and the hearing continued. / | Dwight B. Heard, former Governor of Arizona, was the first speaker. He read from the report of yesterday's hearing and said the Arizona delegation felt an explanation should be made by Represen- tative Powers as to his Intimation that Arizonans were under corporation influ- ence. Powers denled that he made any statement which could be regarded as any such intimation, Former Governor N. O. Murphy, in a heated speech, denounced the reports that the railways and mining interests were using corrupt methods to defeat the Joint statehood bill. “I hereby denounce as false, libelous and slanderous any charge of corruptfon, regardless of where it comes from,” sald Murphy. “I feel it is utterly futile for us to appear before this committee and discuss our views on statehood. The ver- dict is signed and sealed against us. But I cannot refrain from denouncing this charge of corruption against our party. It would be just as fair to credit a re- port that hands are being put into the Government purse to take money fo: buildings to be used in passing the joint ‘ statehood bill.” Merchants would not buy advertising space unless lhe?' ‘were able to make it | worth one’s while to read what they have to say. prAT SEL SRSt QUINCY, I, Jan. 18.—Fire to-day. auroyeq che BIalit ‘of the ';m B;” Schoo Saddiery | The wholesals house of ido Bceral perione Were.sligpily mpived eral g ing walls, The total o leaning toward joint | —_——— e itk the United States Laundry. - SENATORS ST UPON TILHAN Table His Resolution Call- ing for an Inquiry Into the Mrs. Morris Affair EIGHT “YEAS” ONLY South Carolinan Takes Oc- casion to Again Cast a! Slur Upon the President WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—There was an | | echo of yesterday's stormy session in the' Senate to-day when Tillman presented his resolution directing a Senatorial investi- gation into the removal of Mrs. Minor Morris from the White House. The reso- lution provoked no debate and Tillman contented himself with a brief statement, | in which he said he would not have in- | troduced the resolution but for the taunts of Hale. When he concluded Daniel | moved that the resolution be laid on the | | table, and this disposition was made of | it, by a vote of 54 to 8. In expectation of a renewal of yester- day's scenes the galleries were 'crogvded | | when the President rapped the Senate to [nrder, Tillman was gmong the first of | | the Senators to appear. He came into | | the chamber holding in his hand a paper | | which proved to be the resolution direct- | ing an investigation info the removal of | Mrs. Morris from the White House. ‘While the routine morning business was | being transacted Mr. Barnes, assistant | secretary to the President, whom the {Senator had so sharply criticized, ap- | peared with a message from the Presi- | dent. As he declared the document he | stood in the center alsle of the Senate | chamber, immediately on the South Car- rolina Senator’s right and rear enough to | have touched him if he had been so In- | clined. Neither seemed to notice m»l | presence of the other. | As soon as the proper order of busi-! | ness was reached Tillman addressed the | | chair and presented his resolution, which | { was as follows: | Resolved That the President.of the Senate be authorized to appoint a commitice of five | | Senators to Investigate the recent unfortunate | | incident at the White House resulting In_the | | expulsion from the executive offices of Mrs. | | Minor Morris and report to the Senate. | | In presenting the resolution, Tillman asked for immediate consideration. | “Is there any objection?” asked the | chair, and, no one responding, Tillman | | was recognized to speak. He sald: | | It was not my purpose yesterday to %o so | [ far as to ask for an investigation, but [ was | | taunted beyond all endurance by the Senator | | from Maine. He had no justification in.charg- | | ing me with the defamation of the chicf ex- | | ecutive and with speaking from persomal | enmity. He challenged me to action and I | have acted. Tillman said that the question at issue fnvolved two vital propositions. The first | of these related to the protection of the | | President from dangerous characters, and | | the second’ the protection of the rights of the people. He declared that to absolute- | Iy protect the President without doubt would be to make him a prisoner. He | proceeded to say that In case of the re- | moval of the President he could be re- | placed, and ‘probably with a better | man.” “But,” he added, “when the liberties of the people are destroyed, nothing is left but despotism. That 1§ the whole sub- ject,” he added, as he took his seat. Danlel immediately moved to lay the | motion on the table, and Lodge demanded | the ayes and noes. Tillman first cast his vote to lay on the table, under a misap- | prehension, and this raised laughter at | his expense, in which he joined. —_———————— SENATORS NOT “UP” | ON LIQUOR TERMS Lodge Requests Explanation | as to the Meaning of “Beading.” WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—In the Sen ate to-day several hours were devoted | to speeches on the pure food and mer- chant marine bills, McCumber advocat- ing the former measure and Mallory | opposing the shipping bill. Mallory was | so frequently Interrupted as to cause his speech to | take on the aspect of a general de- pate. During the controversy Ba- con suggested that American cor- porations like the Standard Oil Com- | pany engaged in _transporting their own goods to market could take ad- | vantage of the subsidiary provisions of the bill. Gallinger admitted the force of the objection and promised that the defect would be corrected. McCumber sald that the manufacturers favored a pure food bill and he declared that the liquor dealers were among its most strenuous opponents. While McCumber was en- ged In reading a circular on the rhanufacture of old whisky Lodge asked what was meant by the “beading of liquor.”” McCumber replied that the Senator from Massachusetts should | have sufficient knowledge about cham- | pagne to understand. Lodge declared that he.was entirely in earnest. Nel- son” explained that the expression had reference to the effervescnt quality of liquor. et OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST prineipal Bill Proviing for a Lighthouse and Fog Signal at Red Rock Is Reported Favorably. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.— Senator | Perkins to-day reported favorably to the Senate from the Committee on Commerce bills providing for light- houses and fog signals at Red Reck in Upper San Francisco Bay, Point Ca- brillo and Carquinez Straits; also for a light service tender for the Pacific islands and Hawailan waters, and for a keeper's double dwelling at Bonita Point. Secretary Taft to-day brought to Congress the recommendation of Colo- nel W. H. Heuer after the survey of Petaluma Creek. Colonel Heuer thinks $15,239 could be profitably expended in dredging this stream, and estimates that it would cost $2600 annually to maintain the changel. The President tgday sent the follow- ing nomination to°the Senate: Solicitor for the Department of State, James B. Scott of California.

WASHINGTON, Jan. iS.—After pay- ing a tribute to the frigate Constitu- tion to-day and ordering an investi- gation in order to ascertain the an- nual amount necessary tp preserve the ship, the House devoted the day until 545 o'clock to the perfection and passage of a bill providing for the final disposition of the affairs of the five civilized tribes in the Indlan Territory. With one or two minor amendments the bill was passed sub- stantially as it came from the com- mittee. The bill provides for conclud- ing the enrollment of Indlans of the tribes and the allotment of lands to them. During the discussion of the bill the $750,000 attorneys’ fee paid out of the funds of the Chickasaw Nation to At~ torneys Mansfield, McMurray and Cor- nish was characterized by Mann of Illinois as “highway robbery.” Lacey of Towa explained the pay- ment of this fee, which, he agreed, was excessive. It was paid as a contingent fee on a contract with the attorneys to purge the allotment rolls of the tribe from fraudulent enrollments. —_——— Our Art Gallery Still continues as attractive as ever.
