MICHAELS, Md., June 2fl.-Telltale shafts of light continued today to filter in upon the tragedy of the lonely bungalow on Broad creek. A the tangled skeins of the story are picked up one by one they tend more and more to dissipate the claim advanced by Robert Kastman that It ttu a woman and not he who killed Edith May Woodill. Today the Jewels worn by the woman at the time of her disappearance were found In a pawn shop In Baltimore, placed there last Tuesday by a man who answered fully the description of Eastman. The man secured XM on the two diamond rings and an oriental pearl brooch. Two hundred dollars which Mrs. Woodill had In her possession when she left her foster father's home last week Is missing. Eastman repaid a loan last week of $200 and when he returned here from Baltimore Tuesday night he seemed plentifully sup plied with money. He Was at Fugitive. There promised for a time today to be a fight for the legal custody of Eastman'a body. A. S. Rosenthal of New York, an attorney who represented Eastman when he was charged with grand larceny and who secured for him the ball which he forfeited by flight, arrived upon the scene, and, acting for Mrs. Ida C. Ecsteln of New York, one of the sureties who lost heavily by the forfeiture of the boisl, de manded the custody of the body In order that he might make delivery of It to the New York authorities, by whom a reward of 1.5o0 had been offered. The local au thorities declined to give up the body. It will be held pending the arrival of 'Mrs. Eastman. The letter of the suicide, m which he gave to his wife his version of the killing of Mr. Woodill by a Jealous woman, wa made public today and deeply Impressed many who read lyi circumstantial account of the tragedy for which the writer claimed he was in no way responsible. Foreman Radcllffe of the coroner' Jury declared himself convinced of the truth of the strange missive and urged the authorities to Investigate further Into the matter. With all hla disclaimer of responsibility, how ever, Eastman admitted In the letter that he did not dare take the chance of a trial and had decided to "draw the curtains forever." torr Not t(tfitted. While many others were as deeply Im pressed as the Jury f oilman, the searching Investigations of the authorities fall to substantiate any of Eastman'a claims. The states' attorney and the members of the coroner's Jury continue to withhold the contents of two letters found upon East man after his spectacular suicide In the little skiff In which he had hoped to elude for a time at least the clutches of his pur suers. They declare they wish to exhaust every clue and to leave no stone unturned to find If other persons really were In any way connected with the crime. The witness. William Putton, who. It was said last night, had heard a party of men and women merry making In the bungalow on Sunday night, declared today that It was late Saturday night that he went to visit Eastman'a place, and that he heard only the voices of one man and one woman in the bungalow; that the voice of the woman was that of Mrs. Woodill. Sutton did not make his presence outside the house known and went away. When the cabin wo searched following the dlncov- ery of the body, places at the table were ret for two. Plates, cups and saucers were there and unused. East man. when he returned on Sunday morning the team he had borrowed to meet Mrs. Woodill with on Saturday,' enoke to his neighbor of the fact that he had had a girl visitor at his bungalow the night before. There was no mention of a party, paesersby saw lights through the h ha iled windows of the bungalow as late ns 11 o'clock Saturday night. There Is no serious throught here that Eastman killed Mrs. Woodill through mo tives of robbery. Neither Is there any widespread Idea of premeditation. The two were heard to quarrel as they drove away from Royal Oak station Saturday after noon. Mail Knnnn Her Before. Attorney Rosenthal, whose client East man was, declared tonight that Eastman had known the murdered girl prior to her marriage with Woodill. and said he be lieved Eastman had visited her In Cali fornia after her marriage. The girl knew much of Eastman's past life knew him as an accused swindler and emhczsler and a fugutlve from Justice and the theory Is advanced that in the course of their quarreling the girl threatened to disclose the identity of the man who had taken the nam of Roberta. There is the theory, too, that, while Mr. Woodill had lingered longer In the east than she or her husband had Intended, be cause of her association with Eastman, he had decided at last to go away and see the man no more. The disclosure of this purpose may have led to her death In the bungalow. wel Her Moaey. KaMman had been living more or lea by his wita of late, and there are many who believe that he borrowed considerable money from Mrs. Woodill. Being badly In need of money, It i believed that the Idea of pawning the Jewelry cam to him whn he felt that flight might be nece ary. This Is the theory expressed by the Baltimore police, who found the two dla nioiid iingo and the brooch In the pawn broker s place. With th exception of hr wedding ling, which remain unaccounted fvr, tbeae were th only article of Jewelry ianllnu4 on Second Page.) (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June M. (Special! Judge Cornish of the district court of Lancaster county held the nonpartisan Judiciary law- enacted by the late legislature to be In violation of the state constitution. He ordered Secretary of State Junkin to ac cept the filing presented by John M Reagan as a republican candidate for su preme Judge and place his name on the primary ballot. The case will be appealed to the supreme court. Judge Cornish held the law Is In violation of section 22 of the bill of rights of the constitution, which reads as follows: "All elections shall be free; and there shall he no hindrance or Impediment to the rights of a qualified voter to exercise the elective franchise." Oeneral John C. Cowln of Omaha and C O. Whedon of Lincoln appeared for Reagan and leputy Attorney General Martin and Arthur Mullen appeared for the secretary of state. General Cowln held that the law Is unconstitutional because it hinders the elector. The court did not go Into the details of the objections to the law, but simply held It bad from the constitutional standpoint. In hla argument 'Mr. Mullen raised the point that the case had been brought against the wrong party. The law pro vide that the candidate shall present to the secretary of state the receipt for the filing fee which Is paid to the county treaa urer In the home county of the candidate. In th petition it was set out that the oounty treasurer of Adams county refused to accept the filing fee. Mullen held the attorneys for Reagan should have brought the suit against the county treasurer of Adama county.

New Schedule in Tariff Bill on Wood Pulp and Paper. ALDRICH ACCEPTS THE CHANGE Amendment Adopted Without the Vote Beinq; Recorded. INDIAN AGENT COMMONS MOVES Department BrlnaT Moses Long from Oregon to Take Charge of Ita Affairs at the Omaha Aarenry. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON. June 2.i Special Tel egram.) Senator Norrls Brown today won a substantial victory over Senator Aldrlch, in charge of the tariff bill, the finance committee, and the senators who have been voting squarely with the com mlttee,' actions. Lnte last night Sena tor Brown presented two amendments to the wood pulp and print paper schedule of the tariff bill, which had the sanction of the Newspaper Publishers' association, as represented by John Norris of the New York World. These amendments, which are wholly different from the fi nance committee's schedule on print pa per and wood pulp, were looked upon as the last stand which the newspaper pub lishers could make on this particular schedule before the tariff bill reaches the conference. All last night conferences were held, and the Insurgent republicans agreed to stand together for the Brown amend ments. Senator Aldrlch was Informed of their determination to make a fight for a reduction In these commodities. No threats were made, and no hard feelings displayed, but a determination to stand back of the Issue, which to the Insurgents seemed squarely Joined, that there should be a substantial reduction tn the duty on wood pulp and print paper. Aldrlch Aerepts Amendment. When the senate met this raornlng, un like the usual Mr. Aldrlch, wild has held his force so empliullcally In hand, the senior senator from Rhode Island told Senator Brown that the finance commit tee would accept the amendment as of fered by him, and without a yea and nay vote being taken, the Brown amendments were adopted. Senator Brown had made such a presentation of the case for print paper ana woou pulp mat gained him a host of friends, and the astute Mr. Aid rich recognised the condition. Whether the acceptance of the Brown amendment Is to be used for trading purposes will be known during the meet ing of the conference committee on this tariff bill. Whether th Brown nm.nH. luent la to be assassinated will be de termined when conferee report to their separate house. The uuty on print paper remains at 14 per ton under the Brown amendment, ln- ieaa oi j, as rixed by the house. But coupled with the proposition Is authority given to the president that If he should find any discrimination on the part of any country against the United States he would have the right to Immediately raise the rate. While this Is true on the wood pulp paragraph, it Is also true on the print paper paragraph, which eliminates all countervailing and retaliatory duties. In view of the fact that Canada is furnish ing as much print paper to the United States a is made in the country, and as much wood pulp, it seem to be that the Interest of both countries would be thrown against discrimination. Canada, It Is un derstood, is only waiting for better terms with this country before removing Its dis criminatory rates. The Brown amendment. If adopted by the conferees on tariff, will give this country a chance to find out whether better trade conditions can be se cured through diplomatic channel than through high duties. Early In the session the Insurgents, with whom Brown and Burkett are classed, de cided to divide up the big subjects for consideration. Burkett was to look after lumber and citrus fruits; Brlstow of Kan sas was to lead the fight against the sugar duty. La Follette had charge of the cotton schedule, Dolllver was to attack the rates on woolen fabrics, Cummins was assigned to the steel interests, Beverldge had to bacco as his particular study, while Sen ator Brown was given paper and wood pulp. Agent Common Transferred. Agent Commons, In charge of the Omaha Indians, Is to be relieved and Moses Long, agent at Amassa, Ore., is to relieve him. The transfer is the outgrowth of a series of charges which have been made again.it Commons, not only by the Indians of the Omaha agency, but by white people doing business with th agency. An inspector was sent to the Omaha agency to examine into Mr. Commons' administration. The Inspector ha reported and Commons Is to be transferred.

Several member of the congressional delegation are expected to be present, to gether with prominent Nebraskans resident In Washington.

CUBA WILL HONOR RYAN Plan Erection of Monument to Mon tana Man Who Served There. GARCLVS TRIBUTE TO MARTYR Say Massacre of the American and Ills Patriots I Blot on the Escntcheon of Spain. "Cuba Is going to erect a monument to Colonel Washington A. Ryan," said Oen eral Carlos Garcla-Velei, who went from Omaha to Denver last night, "In memory of his martyrdom for the cause of Ouba In 1C7S. Colonel Ryan Is regarded as on of the greatest of Cuba's friends, and the unprovoked, .massacre of him and hi gallant-band of patriots at Santiago de Cuba has always been a blotch upon the escut cheon of Spain." Colonel Washington A, Ryan, was an old time resident of Montana. He had served through the civil war and went west, lo cating at Helena. He was a tealou friend of Cuba and her struggles for freedom from the galling yoke of Spain. "Whack" Ryan, as he was better known In the west, set about organizing a Cuban expedition. He received a commission from Generals Maceo and Garcia with the rank of colonel of the Cuban revolutionary army. He worked on his plan throughout the United States, enlisting a big surround ing of adventurous men who had seen service In the civil war. Ryan Load Her I' p. These men were to assemble at Wllllams- port. Long Island, In th summer of 1878. In the meanwhile the steamer Vlrglnlus had been bought and Ryan had the vessel loaded with arms and ammunition. The expeditionary force kept well hidden until the Vlrglnlus was to set sail. Just then some traitor to the cause reported to the United States government and Spanish au thorities In New Yorlt the object of the expedition and watch was set on th Vlr glnlus to prevent her sailing. The expedi tionary force later assembled at a point below Sandy Hook and so long a th Vlrglnlus sailed without any unusual or suspicious number of men on board she was given her clearing papers, and sailed out ostensibly for Corpus Christ!. Tex. The expeditionary force boarded the ves sel off Sandy Hook In small boats In the night. While Colonel W. A. Ryan was ostensibly In command of the expedition, Captain Fry was captain of the vessel. The expedition ary force consisted of about 300 men. Among the Cuban officers wer Oeneral Caspldo. Verona and Del Sal, regularly commissioned in the Cuban revolution ry army. With the expedition were about 200 Americans, fifty British subjects, the rest being Cubans. Virginias Carrie Flaar. The Vlrglnlus carried the American flag at her mast head, but she had no sooner sailed than word was sent to the Spanish authorities at Havana to be on th look out for her. The Vlrglnlus kept pretty close to the American shores and was compelled to put Into Galveston through yellow fever breaking out on board. Th plague was also very virulent at Galveston. The sick men. numbering twenty-five or tblrtv. were sent ashore and placed In the Hfh" lnltal at Galveston, where all but two of them died of the plague. The Vlrglnlus then went on down to Cor pus v In is, i, put ow ing to in neavy seas In the gulf she tacked over toward King ston. Jamaica, Intending to put in there. Before reaching Kingston the ship was overhauled by the Spanish man-of-war Tornado, and was taken to Santiago de Cuba, where, on November 4. without trial, Colonel Ryan, Generals Caspldo. Verona and Del Sal were shot to death against the wall of the moro of Santiago de Cuba. On November 7, thirty-six of th crew and sixteen paaaengera were similarly exe cuted Most of them were American citl ens and five of them British subject. American Consul Inactive. The American consul at Santiago de Cuba only mildly protested against th execution of the Americana. It was the determined Intention of th Spanish governor. General Burlel, to exe cute every man on th Vlrglnlus, where Ihey were kept In the utmost terror by th brutalities of th Spanish In rharga of tb I caP'ured veaael. I The American flag had been torn wo HAVE REACHED THE POLE and the American consul was defied to do his worst. He simply did nothing. Other executions were to follow the next day of the Vlrglnlus crew and passengers, but Just at this Juncture the British sloop of war, Nlobe, under command of Sir Lamp ton Lorraine, sailed Into the Santiago de Cuba harbor and put up alongside the Vlrglnlus and ordered General Burlel to reprieve the remainder of the prisoners, sentenced to execution. The Vlrglnlus and Its surviving crew and passengers were afterwards surren dered to the United States. On lis way back to New York the Vlrglnlus was wrecked off Cape Fear, but the crew and passengers were saved. The English demanded and secured a heavy ransom from Spain for the execu tion of the five British subjects and other reparation. The United State wa satisfied with the surrendering of th ship and Ita surviv ing crew and passengers. The affair at the time created the most Intense excitement throughout th United States. After a visit of two days, Oeneral Gar cia ha left Omaha for the west. After being the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamilton at a dinner party at the Country club last night, he took a midnight train for Denvr. Oeneral Enoch H.

TRUNK REFUSED, TAKEN BACK Restaurant Keeper Who Declined Receive It and ltncKmnn Tell Stories, Declining- I, eon Was Man. NEWARK, N. J., June 2. Evidence that Leon Ling brought the trunk containing the body of Elsie Slpel to this city on the day after she disappeared and at tempted to leave It In a Chinese restau rant has been discovered. Leon was not allowed to do so, employed a hackman to catry him and the trunk back to Leon's room In New York City. This Information was obtained from LI Sing, a Chinese waiter In the restau rant conducted hy Sum Palmer, nt 64 Market street, and from James Halstead, the hack driver, employed by Leon. LI Sing told the police that Leon brought the trunk to the restaurant at 2 a. m., June 10 and asked Li if he could leave It there for two days until he found a place to put It. LI refused permission but told the police he did not know the contents of the trunk. LI allowed Leon to leave the trunk In the restaurant until noon, however, when Leon returned with Halstead and took It away. LI stated that he knew Ieon and that Leon called to see him two days prior to June 10, but did not mention Klsle Sigel. Halstead corroborated I.l's story. Hal stead said the trunk was so heavy he ssked Leon what It contained and was told it held only clothing. The driver said he drove Leon and the trunk to a place on Eighth avenue, between 48th and 49th streets, New York City. This corresponds to the location of Leon's room, where the trunk was found. The police believe I.eon was trying to find a hiding place for the trunk and was unable to do so. Killed by Bolt While Plowing South Dakota Farmer Struck by Lightning and Plow Shattered. SIOUX FALLS.

HARVESTER TRUST IS SCORED atone of Missouri Opens Vials of III Wrath I pon Tariff .Many Mluor Cheilites Are Made la lut Irs. WASHINGTON, June 2. Although it de voted almost eight hours to strenuous ef fort In that direction the senate today failed to comiuile Its consideration of the schedules of the tariff bill, oml when at ISilii o'clock an adjournment was reached '.here still wee a number of rates to be determined. The day, howevtr, was full of achievement and a number of provision were disposed of. Among the more Important questions which received attention were agricultural implements, wood pulp, cash register, lithographic plates and Jute yarns. neverldar Ktnrta Something-. Probably the most exciting Incident of the day was the vote on Senator Beve ildge'a amendment reducing from 30 per cent ad valorem to IS per cent ad valorem the duty on cash registers. The Indiana senator began his fight for this reduction some days ago and was enabled to force a vote on it todny after comparatively little discussion. The vnte resulted thirty one ayes and thirty-three noes. Stating after the vote was announced that several senators had Informed him that they had voted against his motion tinder a misapprehension, Mr. Bevertdge said he would renew the motion at a later date. Senator Jeff Pavls of Arkansas delivered In characteristic vein a set speech which was a denunciation of the senate finance committee In general and In detail. He bordered at times on the personal In his criticism of Senator Aldrlch. Indirectly Mr. !"ais criticised democra'ts who had declared their lack of allegiance to the last democratic national platform. That platform, he snld. he was "willing to swallow from 'eand to eand' and from 'klver to klver.' '' . Tells Rrynn to Keep Oof. Mr. Iavls defended Mr. Bryan as the reputed author of the platform. Even thoiiKh Mr. nrvan might never be presi dent. Mr. Pavls expressed the hope that be "would not circumscribe the field of his usefulness, the field of his eternal preatness, by accepting a seat In th sen ate.' "This field Is too small," said the Arkan- sss senator. "A pitiable spectacle Mr. Brvan would present here today, bound and gagged, ns are all the members of the helpless minority, to the autocratlo will of the senior senator from Rhode Is land." Palp Schedule Revised. The wood pulp provision again received attention and it was supposed that It had been finally acted, tipon until Senator Clapp, taking exception to the retalia tory provision of the schedule as amended, stated Hint he would make an effort to have that provision entirely eliminated before final action should be taken on the bill. Today's amendments were In lieu of all previous senate changes In the schedule. They were suggested by Senator Brown of Nebraska, and provided for the free Importation of mechanically ground wood pulp, except from countries which place obstacles In the way of their exportation of wood or pulp to the United States, when upon proclamation of the president a duty of one-twelfth of one cent a pound may be Imposed. Retaliation Is also pro vided against countries exporting chemi cal pulp, or newspaper print paper Into the United States. No secret Is made or the fact that these provisions for retal iation are aimed at Canada. Harvester Trail Attacked. Much of the time was given to th discussion of a motion by Senator Bacon, placing agricultural implements on th free list, but after much discussion it was rejected by the decisive vote of tt to 54. In connection with thla amend ment. Senator Stone made a long speech, attacking the International Harvester company as a trust. Mr. Stone declared that the Department of Justice wa asleep. Other changes made during lh day were as follows: Increasing to 2 cent a pouitd th duty on hemp; providing for th fre importation, until 1912, of linen manu facturing machines; Increasing to the extent of about 10 per cent over the present law the duties on lace and em broideries; Imposing a duty of 6') per cent on engraed lithographic plates; slightly decreasing the duty on Jut yarns; striking from the free list the products of petroleum, and eliminating the house retaliatory provision regarding wrapper and filler tsbaccoi SHATTUCK WINS HANDICAP Columbus Man Ntsus Flret at Chi cago vtllh m Perfect Score.
