K2,MO,O0O. Who It Was I don't know. As
x consequence, the men connected with
:h. company Immediately thereafter got
1S2.000.000 In cash as the proceeds of that
forgery and that $82,000,000 was the ful
crum through which all these giant
monopolies and conspiracies were fast
ened on the' lines of railroads serving
the- territory froth the Rocky mountains

more than that. It
was the fulcrum

nection with the suit for breach "of pro
mise, filed against him in Philadelphia
yesterday. Uo said:
"There is nothing to It of which I am
afraid. The whole thing looks like a
poor conspiracy and seems to be stale
and fishy.
"The suit of- this woman Hopkins Is
blackmail nnd It Is Instigated by my
political enemies and Is part of the plot
of Doss Murphy and his political con
spirators to discredit me liecau'se ' they
cannot use mef or thel nefarious scemes
to loot the treasury of the state of New
York.
"I defy them all to do their worst.
Their efforts to Injure me with honest
People will be abortive. I shall go for
word without fear. I never did a thing
In my llfo of which I am ashsmed.
"Sufficient to say," said the governor.
In conclusion, "that I knew thts Hopkins
woman years ago. I was ft friend of her
family In their distress, but I deny em
phatically that I ever agreed to marry
her.; that f ever wronged her; that I
ever lived with her, or that I ever held
her out to be my wife." '
Body of Woman is
Found in Chicago
With Throat Cut
CHICAGO, July 2.-On a blood spat
tered platform In the rear of a store
at 701 West Madison street, the body of
a well dressed woman apparently about
33 year old was today foiind by a
teamster, who, after notifying the night
watchman, disappeared. The woman'a
Jugular vein had been severed and near
by was a bloody clasp knife, with a
three-inch blade. She' had apparently
struggled desperately for her life.
Photographs were made of bloody
finger prints on the platform. The only
other thing that the police hope may
furnish a clue to the murderer Is a black
cloth band, evidently from a man's hat
and found near the body.
Andrew Dufraln, night watchman for
Volunteers of America hotel, was ques
tioned by the police. Numerous scratches
on his right arm he said were made by
a cat.
The victim was later Identified as Mrs.
F. 'Weston, a- piano teacher and stngei'
who appeared In moving picture theater,
sometimes being known as Mrs. Mitchell.
The police are working on the theory
that trie murder was done by "Apaches'
who Infest the district where the tragedy
occurred and that the motive was rob
bery. While Jewelry was not molested
her purse was empty.

Eoosevelt Makes
Plea for Big Navy
NEWPORT, it I., July 2.-Theodore
Roosevelt addressed a gathering of
Rhode Island leaders of the National
Progressive party hore today on patrlot
Isidi and national honor', and made a plea
for the maintenance of adequate naval
strength. Congressmen who vote against
two battleships a year, lie? said, were "on
n level with men who voted against forti
fying Hawaii and our stations In the
West Indies. These men are unfit tu
represent the American people, and thy
by their actions Invite national disaster
and humiliation."
He characterized as wicked any advoca
tion of arbitration Where national honor
and Interests are concerned, and said that
, to enforce the Monroe doctrine, to retain
Panama, .Alaska and our Insular posses
sions, t deternllne what aliens and on
what terms they shall come to this
country demanded the power ' to "back
up oUr words with deeds."
"We have the right to insist on the
Monroe doctrine; we have the- right to
Insist that we, and we alone, are to de
cide as to what Immigrants shall come
to our shores and as to whether these
Immigrants shall become, citizens or own
land; these -ojid other similar rights are
not merely rights but duties? we should
show the utmost courtesy and consldera
tlon for the feelings or others In Insisting
upon them; and we should also realize
that It will In tu long run be Idle to In
sist upon them unless we are ready to
back up'our words with our deeds and j
that to do this It Is necessary to kep
our pavy of adequate size and at the
highest pitch of efficiency."

Hitchcock of Nebraska withdrew from-f
the democratic tariff caucus . today be-
cause that body voted down his amend
ment that would put a graduated Income
tax on tobacco production, he partici
pated tho liveliest tlmo the senate demo-
crats have had since they began con
sideration o fthc tariff measure.
Senator Hitchcock's revolt, which he
later declared did not mean that he had
withdrew from the party or that ho
would not support the party measure,
served to determine that thero will bo
a binding resolution adopted by tho eau-
us pledging the senators to support the
bill as ratified, the refraining from In
troducing any amendments not proposed
by tho finance commlce majority, and
not to support any amendments offered
from the republican side.
Antlelnntra Resolution.
It was because he anticipated suoh a
resolution that the Nebraska senator an
nounced that fac could not remain In the
caucus becauge ho Intended to Introduce
his tobacco tax amendment In the senate
and to lead a fight there for Its adoption.
wnen, in the course of hi talk to the
caucus, the senator announced his de
cision and the reasons therefore, manv
of his colleagues who had supported him
In the vote on his amendment nlpurlA.I
with him to remain in the room.
There was considerable excitement aj
senator after senator urged Un Hitch
cock not to go out, assuring him that he
could be granted the privilege of bring
ing up his amendment without taking
such a drastic course. Senator Hitch
cock declared, however, that" there was
no other course open and left the room
while the excitement was at its height.

After the excitement had calmed state
ments were Issued by Senators Simmons,
chairman of the finance committee, who
opposed the amendment, and Kern, chair
man of the caucus, who supported. Sen
ator Simmons sala:
"The caucus declined to adopt the so
called Hitchcock amendment to the tariff
bill principally because it did not con
sider It wise to attempt In a tariff meas-'
ure to deal with tho trust evil. It was'
felt that the trust question should be
dealt with as a separate one as soon an
It could ..be. reached, and only after sudh
thorough and mature consideration as
the great Importance of the subject re
quired." Would llrlny Flnnl Action.
"Moreover, such consideration could not
now be given to It by the finance com
mittee, the caucus and the congress with
out unduly delaying final action upon
the tariff bill and. disappointing tbi pub
lic desire for Its party sentiment"
"Tho vote on Senator Hitchcock's
amendment," said Senator Kern, "has no
significance as Indicating any sympathy
with the tobacco trst or any other; monop
oly or any member of any conference. On
the contrary there was an unanimous
sentiment In favor of drastic legislation
on that subject.
"Nearly all whom oppose th? resolution
based their action upon the theory that
the tariff bill should not be oladed down
with general legislation anjl especially
with legislation directed against one trust
and affecting none of the others.
"Al agreed that every, democratic plat
form pledge on the subject Of trusts and
monopolies should be faithfully carried
out by legislation carefully drawn for
that purpose"

GETTYSBURG, Pa., July 2. The tide
of Invasion turned back from Gettysburg
today and tho armies of the blue and
gray began to melt away under the com
pelling Influence of a torrid sun and tht
discomforts of camp llfo. General Huntoi
Liggett, U, S. A., In command of tin
camp, estimated that more than 0,000
veterans have gone and expressed the
opinion that 10,000 might depart before
midnight.
Most of them have looked over the
battle field, shaken hands with comrades
they knew In other regiments, got a
glimpse of their friends, the 'rebels,' and
left for home.
Tho regular army men were not sorry
to see tho thousands go, for the camp
was crowded beyond capacity and hun
dreds of old men wero being quartered In
tents that were mado for circuses, but not
for sleeping purposes. Scores slept on the
ground, and although the cooks made
strenuous efforts the mess tables did not
groan with food!'
There were no other reasons for army
rejoicing today for all Indications pointed
to another unusually hot day. The sun
was not over the hill an hour until
tho mercury was around the 90 mark
and promised to toar higher. The vet

Cnnteen" and "Tenting on tho Old Camp
Ground" nro vicing with' "Dixie" and
"Tho Stars and Bars Forever" In thin
wonderful camp of tho boys who worn
tho bluo and the gray.
This great camp of pcaco at th ond OS
fifty years has Its sad momenta aa well
as Its Joys. Everywhero veterans Of both
tho accomplished and the lost causes
aro to bo seen, In each other's embraoe.
In many Instances with tears streaming)
down their faces, recounting reminis
cences of days that were bitter and when
It waa brothor against brother, son
against father.
Sonic of these veterans have not seen
their comrades since they were boys to-
gether, fighting elbow-to-elbaw through
the long, hot days of bivouacking together
on the evenings when tho events of tho
day wero gone over In low, tense voices,
realizing that tho dawn of a tomorrow's
sun would bring on another engagement,
and, then, maybe, some rtouid fall to
respond to roll call and tho answer
"dead" or "missing" would tell, It own
story. There Is no feeling among tho
thousands who aro here; brother Is not
arraigned against brother, as In that far
off day when the north and tho south
woro striving for tho mastery and tho
dominion over this magnificent emplre.
Never before has the spirit of forglvonesa
and forgetfulness been so triumphant as
Is hero shown by thesa old fellows.
Ono of tho Nebroskans, who is Im
portuned to tell of Pickett's charge Is Q,
A Dcngan of Lincoln, who was a mem
ber of-company B, First Pennsylvania
artillery, and was at the high water on
that awful day, when this field, ran red
with blood. A modest man ts Dengan,
but modest as ho la, h)B comrades never
tiro of telling of the brave deed which
this atmpte soldier performs when, pick-,
ett wad endeavoring to dytve the boys.
In bluo from Cup's hill. '
Nebraska Confederate Talks.
I told In Yesterday's story of a number
of Johnnies, but I failed to tell something
of R. P. Jennings of Table Rock, Neb.,
who was captain of company E, Twenty-third
Virginia infantry. Ho refused to
bunk with his old "buddies" from the
south, insisting that Nebraska was his
home now, and the blue anU tho gray
from the pralrlo state wero drinking from
the same canteen. ' What la remarkable
In connection with Captain Jennings and
his home In Nebraska Is that his wife Is
the organist of tho Women' Relief oorpn
of Table Rock, requiring a change In the
constitution of this woman's organtsa-
tlon of the Grand Army Of tho Republic
to bring this about. Who says the war

Vitality or Men Astonishing.
It Is true that many are feeble and
bent from age, yet their vitality, which
has been the astonishment of physicians,
rtmalns to an extraordinary degree, and
they are enjoying the things that peace
has brought In n, way that wilt make thla
fiftieth anniversary of this sanguinary
field a red letter occasion In the hearts
of every participant.
Get this fixed in your mind and then
you will have some conception of thin
wonderful camp: There are 6,400 tents In
this camp city covering threo square
miles, two miles long and one mile wide,

monts in THE BEE,
When Summer days areotteat

Stock Inventories bring to
light many lines that while

posed of without loss of time.
These goods are seasonable. It
Is not considered good storekeep
Ing to carry merchandise over
from one eeason to another.
Merchandise must be sold
while there Is a demand not
when it Isn't seasonable or de
sirable. Therefore, prices are liberally
reduced to effect rapid and com
prehensive clearances.
It is really surprising how
many desirable things can be
picked up at this eeason of the
year.
