High Caste Hindu
Is Naturalized
8POKANB. Wash.. May ..-Akhay
Kumar Moxumdar, a- Yogi philosopher
and a native of Calcutta, India, today
became an American citizen, the firat
Hindu ever' to attain this distinction. In
an opinion handed down by United States
District Judge Frank H. Rudkln, the
court granted the petition, commenting
that In the past the courts have held
against Hindus.
Judge Rudkln held that certain of the
natives of India are members of tha
Caucasian race, although' tit line or
demarcation between the different castes
and classes are dim and difficult of as
certainment. Judge Rudkin's decision settled a ques
tion Involving the differences racially
between certain of the castes pr India.
Mozumdar's contention was that ha was
"a high Caste Hindu of pure blood ot
the ruling caste In India" nnd that thrs
caste Is of Caucasian origin.
Tha application has been before the
courts for the last two years. It was
denied at first, but a rehearing was
granted and the court finally held that
Mojunsdar was "a free white person.

Means Doom of Sheep
Industry.
WASHINGTON, May 3. The house lata
today sustained tho wool schedule of the
Underwood bill, 193 to 74, and voted down
the republican substitute.
Representative Payno offero as a sub
stitute for tho new wool schedule the
republican wool bill he Introduced In the
last congress. Representatives MUrdock
and Martin also had amendments. The
schedulo was read under an agreement
for three and a half hours general
cbate. Mr. Underwood urged that purely
political speeches be avoided.
R6preseritative Harrison of New York
defended tho schedulo as prepared by the
committee.
"After this bill Is enacted Into law," ho
said, "when a man buys an S or $10 suit
of clothes he will bo sure there Is some
wool In It and tho first tlmo ho goes
out In the rain It won't stiffen up llko a
stovepipe. Frco raw wool means cheaper
clothing to tho American consumer."
A general prediction ot ruin to the wool
growing Industry was made by Represen
tative Fordney of Michigan.
Representative Payne vigorously ex
plained his substitute and defended the
republican tariff policy.
Representative Garner of Texas ex
plained that those who advocated duty on
wool first succeeded In' committee, but
free woll followed suggestions by tho head
of 'tho party, tho president.
'That," ho added, "Is nothing dishonor
able. There Isn't a gentleman on tho re
publican, side who hasn't listened to sug
gestions 'from a republican president."
It wbb apparent early in the day that
freo raw wool projected in tho ad
ministration bill was In for a three-cor
nered fight, the republicans demanding
a' duty of about 18 per cent, supported by
some of tho progressives, and the wool
Insurgents of the majority' demanding a
isper cent duty, which they claimed was
the original judgment of the ways and
means committee until President Wlten
hftlr n hint I
Though approved by the democratic
Caucus. after a two days' fight and almost
certain to gome through the. house strug
gle unscathed, tho wool schedule brought
out tha .heaviest oratorical aitlll'ery, or
theopposltlon, and many predictions that
free wool would not stand the fire in the
senate, hut would eventually come 'bacx
to the house with a duty and receive
the solid democratic support.
Underwood ' Defend Wilson.
Majority Leader Unuerwooil championed
the schedule with all his fore? on behalf
of the ways and means committee and
the president. As he did in caucus Mr.
Underwood declared the president was as
much entitled to consideration in the
making of tariffs as any other citizen,
and he lauded him for his, general ap
proval of the measure as It came origi
nally from the committee.
Countess Cottenham
Accidentally Kills
Self with; Shotgun
HENLEY, England. May S.-"Death by
the accidental discharge of her own shot
gun" was the traglo 'fate this morning
of the countess of Cottenham, wife of
the earl of Cottenham. The countess
twin sister, daughter of the marquis ot
Abergavenny, was found dead in 1910 with
a. gunshot wound through the heart In
the grounds of the family residence In
Oxfordshire.
Today's affair was a mystery until the
carl of Cottenham testified at the
coroner's Inquest at hoox.
He said he had been out with his boys
and when he returned and found his wife
missing he Instituted a search which re
sulted In the discovery of her corpse with
the gun beside It near the stump of a treo
over which she had evidently stumbled,
at the same time accidentally discharging
the weapon- The Jury thereupon returned
verdict ot accidental death.
The countess was an enthusiastic hunts
woman and a fine shot, ,fihe frequently
roamed alone with her gun through the
preserves of her estate at Elvenden
Priory.
The twin sister of the- countess was
Lady Viq'et 'evill, who bepame Countess
Cowley and whose divorce suit against
Ear Cowley In 18&T created' a widespread
seneatlon.
The counUss of Cottenham first mar
ried John Blundell Leigh and alto went
through the divorce court In 1809, her
husband being the plaintiff and the earl
of "Cottenham the co-respondent. She
married the earl of Cottenham In the
same year and had three son who are
all living. '
