Ohrales.
FT. MICHAELS. Md . June H. The
theory that Edith May Woodl wan lured
to 'Kama Bob" Eastman's lonely bung-alow
without knowledge of where ahe was going,
ami that ahe ea drugged and detained
there against her will. advanced today
when a further aearch of the shack wnicn
the auperstltloua folk of the neighborhood
foreveriiiore will shun as haunted, revealed
a small bottle which a hasty examination
showa contained a mixture of narcotic
drugs. There were strong traces of mor
phine In the nearly empty phial.
Thia discovery tends to bear out the
theory which the people of the community,
who knew and loved the girl long, have
wanted to believe. They never have lis
tened to the suggestion that she was in
volved In a drunken orgla at the bungalow,
and have contended that ahe lost her life
In repulsing the advances of the man who
acknowledged his guilt by anlfflng out his
life, when it seemed that the hands of the
law were about to be laid upon him.
Today's Investigations lead the authorities
atlll further away from the Idea that any
one other than Eastman could have Invited
friends from New York or any other place
to visit his bungalow In the condition It
was In. The place, only half completed,
offered no accommodatlona for visitors
whatsoever. A single bed, poorly fitted
up; a table and a waahstand completed Ha
equipment of furniture. Eastman himself
slept In the place Infrequently.
Eastman's Lonely Barlal.
In a new-made grave, nearly fifty feet
from the scene of the crime which led hint
to hla death, Eastman's body was laid
away early today. No man of the church
was there to offer a last word for the dead;
no friend or relative came near. The under
takers and their assistants, a little band
of newspaper men, and a few Idle persons,
morbidly attracted to follow the strange
funeral procession, were the only persons
at the grave. With bared heada they re
peated the familiar words of the Lord's
piayer. Mrs. Eastman, stopping twelve
tnilea away at Easton, expressed no desire
to atertj thrTP0e.rt, '
It v.&a t;M o'clock this morning when
the casket containing Eastman's body was
placed tn the roughly fashioned hearse
and the undertakers and others making
up the little funeral party started from
St. Michaels on the seven-mllo trip to the
bungalow. It was past' midnight last night
before a decision to postpone the burial
van reached.; A. night burial amid the
lone pirns of the secluded Eastman farm
had been planned, but owing either to
give Mrs. Eastman opportunity to be pres
ent or because of the welrdness of the
night scene that would be enacted about
the grave, the Idea was abandoned.
Cartas Crowds Gather.
Notwithstanding the early hour there
were many people abroad In the streets
of At. Michaels and along the way to
witness the passing Of the strange cortege.
Buggies, wagons and all manner of ve
hicles were In the funeral line. An hour's
drive through the fragrant pines and along
the shores at the many tidal streams that
Indent the country, brought the party to
within light of the unfinished bungalow,
which stands now as a monument for the
newly mounded grave almost within Its
shadow. No churoh or church yard of
the vicinity would open Its doors or gates
to the dead man. Superstitious negroes
alio on yesterday cbuld not be persuaded
to dig the gTave stood awe-stricken today
on the outskirts of the funeral party.

When the hearse had drawn up alongside
the grave, four men lifted the casket from
the vehicle and placed It temporarily on
two plank supports stretched across ths
grave, Into which a pine box already had
been lowered. Marsh water had seeped
Into the grave over night.
The undertaker drew back the eliding lid
of the casket In order thai all might see
that It waa Eastman who was being con
signed to his last resting place, and closed
It again.
As the casket rested .above the grave,
ready to be lowered, there waa an awkward
pause. The party about the grave fidgeted
nervously. At a nod the supporting boards
were slipped away and gradually the casket
sank into the grave. The two gravedlg
gers hesitated a moment and then stepped
forward. One of the undertakers looked
around with a certain uneasiness of man

P. 0. ARMOUR FORESAW OMAHA
AS PACKING INDUSTRY CENTER
Elbert Habbard Tells How Chlea-a-oan'a
Prophecy of Refrigerator
Care Was Promptly Realised.
Omaha as one of the largeet packing
points of the country was foreseen many
years ago by Philip D. Armour the late
Chicago "Father of the Packing House
Industry" according to Elbert Hubbard,
the Eaat Aurora writer, In a little volume
on the life of the builder of the founda
tion of the present-day Armour & Co.
organization.
He makes the assertion when speaking
of Mr. Armour's Institution of the re
frigerator car and furthermore declares
that the Iced car system had Hi inception
aa the result of the utterlnga of this
prophecy.
"To ship cattle long distance was un
wise," writes Mr. Hubbard, reviewing a
few of the difficulties to be overcome by
Mr. Armour In making a success of the
refrigerator car. "and he then declared
that Omaha, Kansas City and various
other cities of the west would yet have
slaughter houses, where live stock could
be received after a very ahort haul. The
product could then be paased along In re
frlgerator cara and the expense of Ice
would not be as much as to unload and
teed the stock. But. better than all, the
product would be more wholesome."
It was this Idea that finally blossomed
Into the Ice car system, says Mr. Hub
bard. He also dips into an Interesting
explanation of the early uses and history
of the refrigerator car and Its necessity
in the transportation of dressed meat on
the success of which the centralised meat
packing plant depended.

PITTSBI'RG. Ta.. June 27. Greater
Pittsburg walked today, amidst Intermit
tent thunder showera and a torrid sun.
riince 5 o'clock thia morning only one
street car (it carried the United States
mail) has moved In the city and suburbs.
Persona living In outer Allegheny county
used the hastily provided shuttle tralna of
the Pennsylvania railroad and the Balti
more A Ohio. On these trains travel was
extraordinarily light, so much so that at
noon the railways took off the five-minute
schedules anl substituted hourly service.
Downtown Pittsburg was deserted for
the entire day except at the headquarters
of the Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employes and the
offices of the Pittsburg Railways company
At union headquarters the strikers congre
gated early. The men unitedly declared
for a long and hard-fought strike.
At tho offices of the Pittsburg Railways
company the executive officers consulted
all day,' planning their campaign to break
the strike. The day was marked witn nut
one clash between union men and would-be
strike breakers.
Nesrroes Driven Ont.
Two negroes applied to the superintend
ent at the Homewood car barns for situa
tions, and were set upon by alleged union
sympathizers and chased from the district.
The police were notified, but no arrests
were made.
Conveyances were early placed at
premium by wagon and cab owners. The
taxlcaba of the city did a large buslneas,
and were allowed to break speed limits In
their efforts to handle the Inter-resident
district traffic.
At many of the churches today morning
and afternoon services were dispensed
with.
Preacher Approves Strike.
Rev. Dr. A. Fisher of the Wylle Avenue
Baptist church, an aristocratic congrega
tlon In the Herron Hill district, made ref
erence to the strike at his morning wor
ship, however. In the following words:
"If these men, both union men and of
ficials, had loved each other aa Christ
taught, thia strike, which now engulfs this
city, would never have occurred. I be
lieve these poor striking motormen and
conductors are only asking what these
wealthy street railway operators could have
granted without straining a point. I pray
God that no violence may attend this labor
struggle, as marked Pittsburg by a trail
of blood during those unforgettable days
of the Homestead strikes."
Wild rumors of strikebreakers arriving
and being hidden In waterfront houses
poured Into the police station during the
day. Investigation of the rumora proved
them to be without foundation. However,
it Is known that the Pittsburg Railways
company has been negotiating with profes
slonal strikebreakers, who will undoubtedly
bring Imported men here to run the street
cars.
Strike Breakers Comlngr.
An agent for a strikebreaking concern
was heard from In Latrobe, a short dis
tance from here, today. K ta said he had
contracted . for 200 foreigners to come to
Pittsburg to man cars during the trouble.
In this connection It Is known that for the
last three or four weeks the Pittsburg Rail
ways company has anticipated a general
strike of Its employes. Extra crews have
been broken in on all lines throughout the
city and environs. On the Herron Hill line.
where seven cars ran hourly under the
ordinary achedulea during the last week
fourteen have been In operation in charge
of the extra crews. In other parts of the
city the same aituatlon prevailed.
Mills Are Crippled.
The Homestead Steel mills are seriously
crippled by the strike. Just enough men
to keep the furnacea from cooling and to
operate the various departments reported
for work today. Arrangements have been
made by the mill officials to house the
men In barracks during the strike.
The Pittsburg Railways company Is said
to be owned by the United Securities com
pany of San Francisco, the same company
which controls the United Railways com
pany of that city, and whose president Is
Patrick Calhoun. The Pittsburg Railways
company operates under a charter granted
to the Philadelphia Railways company of
Philadelphia.

EARNINGS TAX TO COME NEXT
It Will Be Beached in the Senate
Within a Few Days.
MEANS THREE WEEKS' DELAY
At Least that Mirk Time Will Be
Consumed Before Tariff Bill Is
Voted on by Senators
Forecast of ' Week.
WASHINGTON",' JunVii ?T. The corpora
tion tax question will receive the attention
of the senate this week. When the subject
Is to be taken up depends on the time to
be devoted to the consideration of the
house schedules yet to be conaldered In
connection with the tariff. They include
the questions of cotton ties, cotton bagglnir,
binding twine, steel rails and structural
steel.
The southern senators will make a de
termined fight In favor of free bagging and
ties, contending that If binding twine Is to
go on the undutlable list to satisfy the
farmers of the northwest, the articles In
question should be given the same treat
ment to gratify the farmers of the south.
With these Items disposed of, the senate
will begin consideration of the corporation
tax question, in connection with the In
come tax question previously offered by
Senator Bailey. The corporation tax pro
vision of President Taft will be presented
as a substitute for the Balloy-Cummlns
amendment and the fight will turn largely
upon the comparative merits of the two
provisions.
The supporters of the administration are
confident of success. They say that but
eight votes for the corporation provision
will be lost from among republican sen
ators. The democrats will generally vote
for the Income tax, but with that out of
the way, many of them will give their ad
herence to the provision for levying tribute
upon the corporations. Estimates of the
time required for the disposition of this
question vary all the way from one week
to two weeks.
After the corporation tax will come the
administrative feature of the blll, the max
imum and minimum rate and drawback
provisions, and other related questions.
Only extremely hot weather can force ac
tion on the bill within leas than three
weeks' Time.

Plea Made hy Rev. C. M. Dawson for
Money to Expand.
HE SAYS GIVE FORTY THOUSAND
That Amount Will Doable Capacity,
and This, He Saya, Is Needed,
as Pntlents Are Belnar
Tnrned Away.
The Rev. Charles N. Dawson, field see
retary of "the Nebraska Methodlat Eplsco
pal Hospital association, made a plea
from the pulpit of the First Methodist
church Sunday morning for contributions
to a fund being raised for the erection
of a new wing to the Omaha hospital. The
present capacity of the building which
about, ninety can be doubled at a cost of
$40,000, although the original Investment
was $210,000.
Taking for his text, the familiar quo
tation from Mathew, "Inasmuch as ye do
It unto on of the least of these, my
brethern, ye do It unto me." the Rev. Mr.
Dawson said:
The Methodist hospital Is not by any
means only for the use of Methodist peo
ple, or for the use of people who belong
to any church whatever but It belongs
to all Methodist people and to any one
as much as to any other. You all have
an Interest in It I waa member of the
first committee ever organized for the
erection of a Methodlat hospital In this
city. We got a site all picked out and then
failed through the lack of support from
the lay members pf the church. Through
Dr. Olfford we secured the building on
aouth Twentieth street after a few years
and paid for It, but It was never a fit
place to take sick people and It was over
crowded as soon as It waa opened.
'When, as the result of a long series
of efforts and praying, we got our new
hospital with beds for eighty patients, It
was only a short time that It too, had more
applicants than could be taken care of.
Th laundry and th chapel were pressed
Into service and fifteen more beds were
added, but we are still turning many away
from the door.
"We do not ask for help In supporting
the Institution. It supports Itself, but we
want this new wing and we want you to
take your share tn building It.
"We'll get the money because it is needed
and Nebraska Methodists have never yet
failed to solve any problem that they
have met. To get back to the text, no
man ever lost anything by doing things
for God and humanly. This Is giving to
the poor and lending to the Lord."

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 27-In the
presence of a commencement gathering
which filled Woolsey hall, President Ar
thur T. Hadley of Yale university deliv
ered the baccalaureate aermon to the grad
uating class this morning.
Among those who had seats were Preal
dent lAwell of Harvard and Mrs. Lowell,
and General and Mrs. W. H. Gordon of
Savanah. President Hadley said In nart:
'In order to accomplish anything great.
a man muat have two aides to his good
ness, a personal aide and a social aide. He
must be upright himself and he must rec
ognise the good Intentions and the possi
bilities of others about him.
"We recognise the first of the things. We.
know that the leader must have prlnclpla
of his own: that he must stand for some
thing definite, which he is prepared to
maintain through evil report and good re
port. We do not, I think, recognize the
second of these things In an equal degree.
We do not appreciate how necessary It la
for a man to believe In those about him
Just aa far as he can, and co-operate with
them Just aa fully as he can. Yet this also
Is a condition of larger leadership.
"No matter how high the ldeeils for
which we stand, we cannot expect othera
to follow us unless we have confidence In
him. We cannot expect devotion If we re
turn It with distrust. We cannot expect
co-operation unless we are prepared to give
freely of our confidence.
What Lack or Faith Costa.
"The man who lacks faith In other men
loses hla best chances to work, and grad
ually undermines his own power and his
own character.
"If a man singled out some occurrence
of my life, came to me with a distorted ac
count of It and then said that tt was typ
