days numerous Inquiries have been received
hem for details regarding the supposed
lynching of (loodmansnn In this state, It
has been printed In Illinois papers that he
wus lynched several weeks ngn for tha
nlleged murder of his second wife. Addi
tional Interest Is added to tho case by tho
fact that several years ago Ooedmanson was
tried and acquitted on a charge of murder
Ing his first wife at Pender, Neb, This
wife wns formerly Mliis Laura Hoder,
leader 111 religious work at Tlakllwa, III.
They moved to Pender, Neb., where Good
manson practiced dentistry. Mrs. Gnodmnn-
son died suddenly ono day, her body being
sent to Tlskllwa for burial. Bonn nfter
wnrd several residents of Pender and some
of hor relatlven beeamo suspicious. The
body was exhumed at Tlskllwn by the cor

sent to Chicago. A chemist reported hp
found poison In sufficient quantity to cause
death, At tho trial which ensued In No
brnskn Dr. Ooedmanson was acquitted,
Ooodmanson soon afterward moved to this
state and remarried. He was then lost
sight of until letters were received at
Pender and Tlskllwa, Recording to reports
published there, stating that he had been
lynched In this stato on suspicion of mur
dering his second wife.
Tho lynching is roported to havo taken
placo In tho backwoods of Oknnogan

Is obtainable Some think that for private

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. A spirited dis

day by somo remarks submitted by Mr.
Halo of Mnlro, lu roipoct to bills relating
to tho formation ot n naval rcicrvo which
he introduced. Ho took strong ground
against tho orjanlzntlon of a naval re
serve, bis comments being construed by
some of tho sonntors Into n rolloctlon upon
volunteer ooldlers and land militia. Halt
dozen ronators wero on tholr feet In
nn Instant to defend tho volunteers and
tho National gunrd of the various states,
and tho debato took ro wtdo a rango that
senators went back ln their references to
the days ot tho revolutionary war to find
Illustrations for their arguments.
Y'hlle no action 1b posslhlo at thin tlmo
It la ll!ly that the discussion upon thn
measures, should they be reported, will
bo vory lively. No business ot special Im
portance was transacted, tho tlmo ot the
senate bolng consumed by matters of
routine.
I'rlenils Ask for Introduction.
After tho adjournment ot tho senate Mr.
Halo Bald the naval reserve bills Intro
duced by him today had been prosonted by
request ot persons Interested In BUch legis
lation. In the same manner ho had Intro
duced bills representing both tho Navy
department's views nnd that of Individuals
nnd organizations on the question ot n
naval reserve He personally, however, did
not stand committed to any of thorn nnd
ho quostloncd whether nny sotUtnctory
results would como trom them.
Mr. Honr today, ln presenting n
potltlon from railroad, Insurance nnd ship
ping Interests praying for tho construction
ot lighthouses ln some dangerous places
whuto lightships are loented now, said that
a proposition had been made by a respon
sible and intelligent builder to construct
lighthouses at points whero government en
gineers had considered lt lmprncttcablo tn
build lighthouses. He thought such a prop
osition ought to bo treated with respect. It
wns an illustration ot tho marvelous In
Ycntlyo nbllty of this natloij.
Mr. Hoar presented! & resolution,
which wns agreed to, calling upon
thn president to Inform tha sen
ato whether thu Btnto department
had nny official Information ns to whether
tho Urltlsh government charges duties on
goods Intended for prisoners of war In Ber
muda, In violation of the fifteenth nrtlclo ot
Thu Hnguo convontlon. Ho otntcd that In
formation hnd renched hlm from n high au
thority that such duties havo been Imposed.
Print Schley Court IlecorilH.
A concurrent resolution was ndopted
providing for tho printing of 3,500 coplon
ot tho proceedings of tho Schley court ot
Inquiry.
Mr. Halo or Mntno then brought up hU
measure ln respect to tho value tn tho
country of a mllltla force. Ho Introduced
somo bills relating to tho organization
nnd mnlutennnco ot a navnl rcscrvo nnd In
doing so declared that the rollanco placed
by somo peoplo on the nnval reserve nover
would bo realized. Experience had shown,
ho said, that at tho beginning of a war
plonty of young men wero willing to en
list ln tho navy and enter the ranks of tho
naval mllltla, but at the1 conclusion ot tho
war tho Interest In the organizations
ceased and It was found difficult to main
tain thorn. Ha was ot tho opinion that tho
United States as a nation, was not likely
to tako much Interest In tho military forccfl
cf land or of sea. In tlmo at stress ho
wnB certain tho country would bn obliged
to dopend on volunteers, called out on nn
emergency, or upon somo form of com
pulsory Bnrvlce. England, ho Hold, "had
learned thlH lesson from her smallest and
wickedest war."
Compulsion to Service,
"If," ho said, "we aro to becomo a great
war power, wo will havo to learn tho lossou
othor nations havo learned. Every nation
of thn world that stands snarling nt an-
othor depends on somo nort ot compulsion
to military service."
Mr. Halo doclnred that England was
about to resort to conscription to raise men
to fight "a band of frco men thousands of
miles owny." It had been proved, he said,
that naval mllltlu wub not a success. Of
cotirso lt could bo maintained In "a linger
ing, half-hearted manner," but tt nover
really amounted to much.
In conclusion ho said;
"If wo havo dotormlncd that we aro to
becomo a great war power, with a great
army and a great navy, no system of vol
unteering will answer tho purpose."
In answer to nn Inquiry from Mr. Haw
ley, Mr. Halo said ho did not suppose that
tho United States would uver dispense
with tho mllltla. It would continue to bo
maintained In a half-hearted way. In tlmo
or wnr ho did not think lt would be worth
reckoning with.
Spooncr Point to Dlsplny.
Mr. Spooncr pointed out that tho display
mado by the National guard or various
states on Pcnnsylnnla uvcnuo on tho occa
sion of an Inaugural parade was a suffi
cient ovldenco of the practicability of. the
mllltla.
"Yos," responded Mr. Halo, "but tho loss
of life on Pennsylvania uvpnuo novor Is eo
rlouB." Continuing, he said what ho desired to
Impress upon tho scnato and upon tho
country was that tho naval reservo was and
always would bo weak and meager.
"It Is difficult oven now," talil ho, "to
sectiro men enough to man tho ships of tho
United StntcH navy nnd It Is Impossible
to mulntnln tho Interest In the naval ro
bervo." Sevcrul Bcnutors, among thorn Mr. Mason
of Illinois, Mr, Tcllor of Colorado, Mr.
Hoar 'of Massachusetts and Mr. Ilacon of
Georgia, wero drawn into tho dobuto In
defense of tho military forcoa ot tho va
rious states, Mr. Halo flnully dLjclolmlnt
