wounds on the bandit and It Is the sup
position that the man was drowned In es
caping across the river In the terrific rain
storm which followed the battle on the
Island Friday, when the posse lost the two
murderers.

The murderers were supposed to have
iast away their shoes on the Island and
(one away In their stocking feet. The
body of the man found In the river did
not have on a pair of shoes, and the bot
tom of the stockings had been worn
through from walking without shoes.
The shirt worn by the murderer was
blue and the sleeve found by Sheriff Rock
on the Island was also of the same color.
While on the Island It Is thought that the
bandits tore their sleeves from their shirts.
In order to wind them about their feet.

Joke. The visitors to the museum, among
whom were hundreds of Americana were
Informed this afternoon that the museum

were requested to leave.
Just a year and a month ago today the
Crt de Paris announced that La Joconde
had keen stolen from the gallery of the
Louvre one night In June through the com
plicity of an official of the museum and
that a copy had been substituted In the
frame for the original which the paper
asserted had been taken to New Tork to
be sold to aa American collector. This
report was repeatedly denied later.
The proper name of La Joconde, also
called Monna Lisa, Is the portrait of Mo
donna Lisa Del Olocondo. tl Is one of
the world's famous paintings and Is held
priceless. It was reported at one time that
the British government offered SB.sao.to5 for
the work, which was refused. It Is the
most celebrated female portrait in the
world. The most striking characteristic la
the eqhlnx-irke smile. Da Vinci's model
was the wife of Francesco Del Olocondo,
a Florentine. She Is shown seated In a low
chair on the left arm of which she is
leaning.

WASHINGTON . Aug. J2-The extraor
dinary session of the Sixty-second congress,
marked by the passage of the Canadian
lation, the statehood and ether Important
reciprocity bill, vetoed tariff revision legis
measurea, adjourned srne die at I 02 o'clock
this afternoon. President Taft, who had
Just voted the cotton bill, the last of the
three revision bills adversely acted on, was
present with members of his cabinet.
Presiding officers of both houses of con
gress delivered short speeches felicitating
the members, regardless of party, upon
gooA m ill shown during the session snd ex
pressing best wishes for them during the
recess of congress. The regular session
of congress will begin on December 4.
President Taft's message vetoing the cot
ton bill was read in the iiouse at 1.02 p. m.
As In the case of the wool and free list
bills the president baseo his objection to
the cotton bill largely on the fact that the
tariff board baa not as yet had time to
submit a report on the schedule. He also
declared that the cotton bill was adopted
without any Investigation or Information
of a satisfactory character as to Its effect
on the cotton Industry.
As soon as the president's veto had been
read. Mr. Underwood announced that In
asmuch as the democrats did not have a
sufficient number of votes to paas the bill
over the veto. It would be referred to com
mittee. Mr. Underwood's motion for refer
ence of the whole matter was agreed to
without objection.
Message of President.
The president objected especially to the
attempt by congress to add a revision of
the Iron and steel and chemical schedules
to the cotton bill ss amendments.
"I find." he said, "that there was prac
tically no consideration of either schedule
by any committee of either house. There
j were no facU pre8ented to either house tn
j hlch I can find material on which to form
I .nv iudment . to ih. ffrt of mnd.
merits either on American industries or
upon revenues of the government.
Briefly reviewing the manner in which
the iron and steel and chemical amend
ments were added to the bill, the president
said:'
"I cannot make myself a party to deal
ing with the Industries of the country in
this way. The Industries covered by metais
and the manufacture of metals are the
largest In the country and It would seem
not only wise but absolutely essential to
acquire accurate information as to the ef
fect of changes which may vitally affect
these Industries before enacting them Into
law."
Speaking of the eotton Industry, the
president said the capital Invested In 1WB
amounted to SS21.000.000. the value of the
product to SC9.000 000, the number of wage
earners to S7S.0O0, making, with dependents,
a total of at least 1.30 000 persons affected,
with annual wages of .144 Ore, 000. The bill
would not have gone Into effect until
January 1. next, and Mr. Taft said the
tariff board would be ready with a report
before that time.

calculation In the proposed sweeping borl

After citing a number of lncreaaes made
In the chemical schedule, the president con
tinued: "But the most remarkable feature of this
amendment to the chemical schedule re

"Under the r'Nsent bill these precautions

"I need hardly dwell on the disastrous

Master Baker Says !
Modern Housewives
Bake Soggy Bread
KANSAS CITT. Aug. 22.-T)iat the mod
ern housewife who attempts to bake her
own bread produces a soggy article and Is
committing murder In .allowing It to be
eateD aas the statement made by Paul
Schulse of Chicago, president of the Na
tional Association of Master Bakers, at the
second day's session of the annual conven
tion of that body here today.
"This country is full of housewives who
sre proud of their cooking and who think
they are doing their duty at home," Mr.
Schulxe said. "The long suffering stom
achs of their families continue to pay
the penalty of this mistaken sense of duty."
"The American houeaewlfe. the American
mother of today is a sensible Individual,
but very 'set in her ways ' She Is still In
fluenced by the working methods adapted
In her girlhood. The bakery industry has
made great strides in the present genera
tion, but the bread that Is being baked
In ths home kitchen today Is very Utile
changed from the home-made bread of a
generation ago. The kitchen fire la still
Inadequate. One thing which we bakers In
the larger cities see most plainly today Is
the absolute necessity of educating the
housewife to quit baking at borne. Let us
come forward. Let us show these women
that home baking Is wrong. Let us make
them realise the overwhelming benefits
of buying bread baked tn modern aanltary
bakeries."
Mr. Schulxe told of a woman In Chicago,
who had built up a business selling "health
bread," her home rroduct. Phe brought
him a loaf and a anted to sell him the
formu.
"I cut Into the loaf," said Mr. Schulxe.
"I saw that the center waa unbaked dough.
I have been wondering since what effect
that woman's health bread has had en the
death rate In Chicago. She was 'unques
tionably committing murder.' "

BIG BOUQUETS FOR DEMOCRATS
Speaker Clark Congratulates His Col
leagues on Work of House. .
SATS ALL PLEDGES ARE KEPT
Mere Ceaatraetlve Legislation Passed
Tkaa at Any Prevleas Seaaloa
for Maay Years Praises
tke lasargents.
WASHINGTON. Aug. S Champ Clark,
speaker of the House of Representatives, in
a review of the work of the first session of
the Sixty-second congress, declared that
the democratic party set a good example
for democrats everywhere and that the
party had redeemed very promise It made
In the campaign of 1J10, when the demo
crats wrested control of the house from
the republicans.
"At this session the derrmcrets have made
a record which has surprised our friends
and dumfounded our enemies" said
Speaker Clark. "It haa put heart and hope
Into democrats everywhere. The extra ses
sion was extraordinary, not only In the
sense of being a special session called by
the president, but also In the amount and
quality of the work done In the house by
the combined democrats and republican In
surgents In the senate and especially by
the unanimity of action developed by the
bouse democrats
Critics Sorely niaappolated.
"It was predicted freely, vociferously,
enthusiastically and confidently by the
'stand pat' press and others that we would
go to pieces. On that account and by rea
son of that hope they rejoiced that the
extra session of congress was called, so
that we might go to pieces at the earliest
possible date. But we have sorely disap
pointed all their expectations. They even
set the date when we would go to pieces,
which was the day of the democratic cau
cus on January 19. but unfortunately for
tbem In that caucus every thing was doue
unanimously. The next morning when
they they found we had agreed In spite
of their malicious predictions to the con
trary they had to pinch themselves to see
If they were awake.
'They then said surely ws would go to
pieces as soon as ws reached the tariff
question, but again they were doomed to
disappointment, and we did not go to pieces
at all. We are more thoroughly united In
the houae at the end of the saaslon. If
possible, than at the beginning
"We have act a good example to demo
crats everywhere. Sneered at for years as
a party of mere negation and as being
utterly lacking In ability for constructive
statesmanship, we passed through the
bouse more constructive legislation, and
better, than haa pasaed through any house
tn the aame length of time In twenty years.
We have set the pace In that regard for
future bouses.
"Ws redeemed every pledge made to
order to carry the elections In 1310. We
have economized, we passed the reciprocity
bill, the wool tariff bill, the free list bill,
the cotton bill with the senats amendments,
which Included the Iron and steel schedule
and the chemical schedule, we submitted
to ratification a constitutional amendment
providing for popular election of senators
of the United States, we pasaed a bill for
ths publication of campaign expenses be
fore the election; we liberalised the rules,
making the committees elective by the
house; we passed a resolution to admit New
Mexico and Arizona, and we passed a large
number of othe bills of more or leas Im
porter ca It Is a record of which we may
well be proud and on which we will sweep
the country In 112.
"To show how completely the 'stand pat'
republicans are demoralised It Is only
necessary to quote the newspaper state
ment that there was great rejoicing and
congratulation at the White Houae because
we failed by a scratch to get a two-tblrds
majority to override the president's veto,
