-New England Manufacturers Are
Still Needed.
WASHINGTON, June 1 After, in effect,
i -c K lua Information from Chairman Aid-
rich that beginning with tomorrow night
it would be expected to hold night sessions
for the consideration of the tariff bill, the
icriate luitay began consideration of the
Sutton cloth Hchedule. This portion had
been paused over upon the first reading
with the understanding that many amend
ments to it woulj be offered and much
time would be necessary for its discussion,
The first day did not fall short of a Justi
fication of this supposition.
There were not many speeches, but those
:nadn were of considerable length. Ben'
itors Smoot and MeGee, both majority
members of fhe finance committee, were
the principal orators, and both spoke In
support of committee provisions. The Utah
ienator entered upon technical presenta
tion of the entire subject, reaching the
conclusion that the senate bill does not, in
reality, Increase duties now collected by the
lilnKley law. He undertook, however, to
show that by various rulings of authorities
the duties had been reduced to the extont
of an average of W per cent. It waa the
purpose of the committee to carry into ef
fect the existing law. He declared that
the committee had been Influenced neither
by manufacturers nor importer.
Lodge on Protection.
Senator Lodga gave especial attention to
the cotton schedule, but Incidentally spoke
of the general policy of the republican
party with reference to the aubject of
tariff revision. He contended that there
had been no Intention of revising the tariff
downward, but that the purpose of the
party ba4 been merely ao to revise the
tariff as to protect American manufactur
ers against cheap foreign labor. He de
clared that New England factories were
returning only small dividends to the own
ers. He explained at length the process
of meroerlsatton In order to show that "he
protective rate allowed for this process
was not excessive. , ,
"tnWe,nd Aldrtofc.
Early In the day Senator Dolllver took
exception to a remark by Senator Aldrlch.
The Iowa senator had offered an amend
ment to the eotton schedule for ad va
lorem. 'rather than specific duties, where
upon Mr. Aldrlch made incidental refer
ence to senators "who come here with
Importers' briefs.1 " Mr. Dolllver made
sharp reply. ' but when Mr. Aldrlch ex
plained that he had not meant any re
flection, business proceeded with seren
ity. Later the senator from Iowa said re
flections upon his course had come from
behind the doors of the finance committee.
This was said In response to a defense
by Senator Hoot of the board of general
appraisers, to which reference had been
irii br Mr. Dolllver.
At S:(K p. m. the senate adjourned until
10:10 a. in. tomorrow. The house waa In
session only thirteen minutes, adjourning
until Thursday without transacting any
business.

SEATTLE Wash., June L President
Taft in the White House at S o'clock 'his
afternoon, pressed a telegraph key of Al
aska gold and sent a spark across the con
tinent that put in motion the wheels of
the Alaska-Tukon-Paclflc exposition; loosed
the waters of Its fountains, unfurled Its
banners, started its bands ' playing, re
leased showers of daylight fireworks, called
upon the saluting guns of the American
and Japanese fleets, set all the steamers
In the harbor and all the locomotives in
the railroad yards bellowing and shrieking
and brought forth universal rejoicing from
all Seattle which has toiled for years to
bring about this day.
The exercises at the world's fair grounds
preceding the president's signal were car
ried out with military precision. The ex
position gates were opened at 8:30 o'clock.
At S:30 troops from the United States army
and navy, the Japanese cruisers Aso and
Soya and the state mllltla paraded through
the grounds under the command of Colonel
T. C. Woodbury, U. 8. A., and the column
was reviewed from a stand at the head
of the court of honor by exposition offi

"The greatest service to the nation, to
every state and city today, would be the
substitution for a term of years of law

James J. Hill In bis address at the open

"There are four great words that should

sacredness of a religious rite," said Mr.
Hill. "These watchwords of the republic
are equality, simplicity, economy and Jus

Big Chief Comes to Take Hand in
' Train Robber Case.
FIVE IN HOLDUP THEORY NOW
Discovery of Additional Lodarlna;
Places of Bnndlta Leads to the
Belief by Chief of Po
lice Donahae.
The arrival of William A. Plnkerton of
Chicago, head of the detective agency that
bears his name, and the discovery by Chief
of Police Donahue that five men partici
pated In the Overland Limited holdup and
two more lodging places ef the bandits are
the latest points of Interest in the robbery
story.
Mr. Plnkerton came to take a hand In
the case, but declines to talk for publica
tion. He will remain until the hearing of
the bandits before United States Commis
sioner Anderson at . federal building
today. Unless the accused men waive
examination the preliminaries will continue
for a couple of days, probably, as there
are many witnesses to be heard. Among
these witnesses are several who say they
will be able to Identify the trio as men who
committed other crimes besides the rob
bery of the Union Pacific train.
Chief Donahue says the authorities have
been working on the ease since Sunday
with the Idea that f 1., men robbed the
train. - v -
Saturday morning. It Is said, the lodging
house where the suspect Gordon roomed,
was located and placed under strict watch.
Sunday another room was found and con
nected with the holdup gang.
No arrests have heen made, as the men
still at liberty are cleverly eluding the
offlcera. The latter venture no statement
as to the men being In Omaha. They only
hint that with all the notoriety the ca9e
has been given, the closeness with which
every clue and theory has been watched
by the officers and the chances already
afforded for escape from the vicinity, tha
bandits would be foolish to remain here.
More Rooms, More Men.
It Is understood that only after the third
room had been found was it concluded that
a fifth man was In tho case, yhen the
second room was located, Gordon was es
tablished as the former occupant, and the
authorities say that they can now connect
him with the case.
Then H appeared that the fourth man,
who was supposed to have roomed with
Gordon, had also roomed part of the time
with a fifth man at another room, other
than the one at the Selbert house, 324
North Fifteenth street, and the second
room, whose location the police will not
divulge. Investigation proved that a fifth
man had occupied the third room In ques
tion and had been connected with the train
robbery. '
Still another person has Identified
Woods, one of the holdup suspects, as
having been In Fremont the day of the
train robbery. F. W. Hauser, a grocer
and general merchandise dealer of Fre
mont, was In Omaha Tuesday and Identi
fied Woods ss a man who was in his store
on the forenoon of the Saturday the ban
dits held up the Overland Limited.
Woods bought several maps of Canada
and the northern part of the United
States and talked with Hauser for a short
time, Joking in his usual manner. Woods'
manner was one of the chief points of
Hauler's identification Tuesday, as he evi
dently Is always Joking and laughing.
With Hauser's Identification of Woods
and also that of the Fremont boy, Roy Mc
Dermott, who Identified the supposed leader
of the suspects Monday, It is certain that
the prUoners were In Fremont for the half
day preceding the- holdup and that they
took part In it is proved by their identifi
cation by the mail clerks, all of whom have
now done so.
The identifications by the Fremont peo-

SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES AGAIN.
Jacobs' Trial for
Murder of Girl
is On at Sturgis
Young Man is Charged with Kill
ing Sweetheart Who
Jilted Him.
STURGIS, S. D., June L-(Special Tele
gramsThe trial of Oscar Jacobs, charged
with the murder of Miss Elba Roberts,
January 18, began here today before Judge
Joseph W. Jones of the Sioux Falls cir
cuit, who exchanged with Judge Rice of
the Deadwood circuit
The killing of the girl took place in the
millinery establishment of Mrs. John F.
White, where the girl was employed.
Jacobs and the girl were alone in the
millinery portion of the building at the
time.
A short time before the girl was killed,
she wrote a letter to her father, F. J.
Roberts, of Reed, S. D., In which she
stated she Intended to have nothing more
to do with Jacobs. The letter, which will
play an Important part In the ease against
Jacobs, was received by the father the
same night the tragedy occurred.
One of the Important witnesses for the
prosecution will be John F. White, hus-.
band of the woman by whom Miss Roberts
was employed. They reside In rooms In
the rear of the millinery store. . On the
night of 'the tragedy." White and his wife
and Miss Roberts were In the living apart
ments. Someone was heard to enter the
front room from the street door, and Miss
Roberts, after opening the door between
and glanttng into the front room, excused
herself, stating It was Oscar. She entered
the front room, closing the door of the
living apartments behind her.
White was suddenly aroused by a scream,
a shot and a thud as though someone' nad
fallen. Running Into the front room he
found the body of the girl on the floor
and Jacobs standing nearby. When a de
mand was made for the gun, Jacobs
pointed to the front of the store, where
the weapon lay about twelve feet from
him. Before leaving the millinery titore
he made an effort to secure the weapon
with which the girl was killed, doubtless
Intending to turn the weapon upon him
self. Jacobs claims the girl took the gun
from his pocket and shot herself.

Six Lynchers Before Court
on Charge of Contempt
WASHINGTON, June l.-The supreme
court of the United States waa today the
scene of the arraignment of six men before
Its bar, which was an unprecedented spec
tacle in this, the highest tribunal In the
nation.
The prisoners consist of former Sheriff
Joseph F. Shipp of Hamilton county, Ten

Gibson, and Luther Williams, Nick Kolan,
Henry Padgett and Wiliam Mayse, all of
Chattanooga.
These are the men who a week ago were
found guilty by the court on the charge of
contempt In permitting and participating
in the lynching In 1906 of a negro aamed
Edaard Johnson after the supreme court
had granted permission to him to bring his
case to the supreme court on appeal. He
had been found guilty of a statutory crime
and was under sentence to be hanged.
The granting of the appeal acted as a

of this action became known In Chatta

Sentence and He la Taken to
Fort Madlaon for Safe
KeKeplnK.
DES MOINES, la., June l.-The negro,
John Junktn, tonight was found guilty, at
Centervllle, of the Murder of Clara Rosen,
the Ottumwa chair singer Februry 5, last,
and was sentenced to death by Judge fa.
A. Roberts.
The Jury returned Its verdict after a de
liberation of less than four hours at 7;n0
o'clock. There was an Immense crowd
awaiting the result of the trial and as the
last words were read by the clerk a shout
went up which was taken up by the crowd
In the court house square.
Attorneys for the defense waived their
customary right of three days before sen
tence of death la passed and agreed that
Judge Roberts pass sentence immediately,
which the court did Junkln will hang
the last Friday In July, 1910.
Tonight he was taken to Fort Madison
for safe keeping till the day of his execu
tion. Adjutant General Guy Logan of Des
Moines was in tha court room, when the
sentence was pronounced. He state tonight
that there would be no need of mllltla to
guard the prisoner, as the verdict met with
popular favor.
Junkln'S crime was one of the most
atrocious In Iowa. He confessed killing
Clara Rosen on the night of February S,
last, with a atone, while she waa returning
from the home of her sister. Later he
dragged the girl Into an excavation and
assaulted her. Her dead body was found
by a searching party the next morning.
Military Precautions Taken.
Adjutant General Logan of Dea Moines
has twenty picked men of the Iowa State
militia In Centervllle In readiness to pro
tect John Junkln, confessed murderer If
the Jury falls to agree to return a verdict
satisfactory to the public. Should the ver
dict be life Imprisonment, the men will be
rushed from their headquarters to the
court house only 100 feet away.
General Logan said this morning that he
believed this number would be sufficient to
quell any demonstration that may be made,
but it Is the general belief among citizens
that, should a mob form, twenty men will
go down like so many tenpins.
The case waa given Into the hands of the
Jury at 3 o'clock this afternoon, following
the closing argument of Prosecutor Cornell
of Wapello county.

night following In a mob taking .Johnson
from the Jail and hanging him.
The act was resented by the court as one
of flagrant contempt and Immediately com
plaint was made to President Roosevelt
with the result that he placed the matter
in the hands of the department of Justice
which Immediately took steps to ascertain
the names of tho participants In the lynch
ing. Proceedings were then instituted
against the sheriff and a number of his
deputies as well aa against about twenty
citiiens of Chattanooga. The Inquiry
which was subsequently made on behalf
of the court, reduced this number to nine
and the court's own Investigation elimi
nated three others leaving only six to be
brought before the tribunal.
The offenders came Into the court today
in a body. They were accompanied by of
ficers of the law and by their attorney..
The court today postponed the passing
of sentence to permit petitions for a re

Gamble and Crawford Seem to have
reached a hard and fast agreement as to
the patrolman, for today South Dakota's
senior senator presented to President Taft
a recommendation, signed by himself anil
Senator Crawford, strongly endorsing How
ard C. Shober of Hlghmore, for the po
sition of auditor for the Interior depart
ment, now held by Robert S. Persons of
the same state. Senator Gamble had an
extended conference with the president
regarding the appointment, and while he
refused to say anything regarding a change
In the audltorshlp for the Interior depart
ment, n It is believed he has excellent
gorunds to expect that Shober will be ap
pointed, as the senator's are enthusias
tically behind him. ...
Robert S. Persons, the outgoing auditor
and one of South Dakota's best known
newspaper men, will have filled the office
eight years on July 1. Previous to that
time he was deputy auditor for four years.
Had ex-Senator Klttrldse won out in his
fight with Governor Crawford, Persona
would have undoubtedly continued "on the
Job," but Kittrldb-e lost and as Persons
was one of his most faithful followers,
nothing else la expected than that he will
have to walk the plank.
It Is understood here that Major Kelley,
superintendent of the Uosebud Indian
agency, has been suspended on charges,
and that a special agent of the Interior
department has been put in charge of the
agency.
Senators aOmble and Crawford have
united in recommending for appointment
Frank H. Kinney of Philip, S. D., to be
clerk to the commission for the appraise
ment of lands on the Cheyenne Indian
reservation and F. M. White of Mitchell,
S. D.; for clerk to a similar commission
at Standing Rock reservation.
Martin Feels Serene.
Representative Martin of Deadwood, S.
D., who has heen away from Washington
for several weeks, looking after his fences,
returned last night and waa In his seat
when the house met this morning. Mr.
Martin, who admits that he left Washing
ton a few weeks ago considerably pessi
mistic In humor, today returns with a
smile and declares he has Joined tho opti
mists. "Everything Is all right out In my Btate,"
said Mr. Martin. "We have been blessed
with an early rain throughout my section
and other portions of the state, and Indi
cations now point to an abundant crop,
and, naturally, everyone Is feeling corre
spondingly cheerful over ' prospects. Of
coune, the tariff discussion and Its ulti
mate result and possible provisions occu
pies considerable attention by our people,
but really not so much as might be gen
erally supposed. There Is a general de
sire that congress shall enact the bill aa
speedily as may be, but the people of
South Dakota are not Impatient; they
have confidence that the ultimate decision
of congress In the matter of tariff legis
lation will be wise and satisfactory, and
they are not apparently worrying them
selves very much about Its minor details.
They now find industrial conditions excel
lent, and that Is really the true test of
the business pulse."
