or the substitutes offered for them, an
other conference will be held for ths
public of binding demands to definite
legislation. Some senators, though tho

Baron Newton Roasts
Lipton During Debate
on Canteen Scandals
LONDON, July 1. The canteen scandals
which culminated last Mny In tho con
viction of nine British army officers and
eight civilian employes of Upton's, lim
ited, had an echo In the House of Lords
today. Lord Saye nnd Brie, formerly lieu
tenant colonel of tho Royal Scots Fuel
Hers, and now controller of the king's
household, said the charge that ho had
tempted Lieutenant Colonel Whltaker of
tho Second Yorkshire regiment, who was
sentenced to six months' Imprisonment,
was a foul lie. Ho declared he had been
deeply wronged by Justice Sir Charles
Darling, who said In reference to a letter
from the present Lord Sn.ye and Sele:
"Tho letter shows sail decadenco from
the traditions of a great family. 1 myself.
If I belonged to such a family, would
starve rather than get my living by
cadging for orders for beer."
Lord Saye and Sele today repudiated the
"mischievous Idea that the possession of
an illustrious ancontry debarred a man
from earning an honest living In trade
or otherwise."
Baron Newton took up tho cudgels In
defense of tho Judgo's strictures. Refer
ring to the position of Sir Thomas Lip
ton, tho baronet remarked:
"if I were chairman of a company which
had engaged In proceedings of that kind,
I sliould bo Inclined to seek temporary bc
clusion rather than be continually adver
tising myself In every conceivable way."
Baron Nowton asked to be Informed If
Llpton's, limited, had been removed from
the list of contractors for the war office.
The marquis of Crewe, liberal leader In
the house, "unhesitatingly accepted" Lord
Saye and Scle's statement and said the
government did not purpose arty further
action In the matter.

ers of the votes for women fight turned
their heavy artillery In tho direction of

to find that a meeting called to vote on

been postponed until August 1.
According to plans, the commltttee
was to meet and vote on a special rule

Staged Fake Robbery
Makes a Confession
SAYRE, Okl.. July 1. How he staged

tained $5,000 from the First State bank at

Loyal Albanians Are
Routed by Insurgents
DimAZZO. Albania, July l.-A force
of Albanian government troops, which
had remained loyal to Prince William,
was defeated by tho Insurgent Albanian
Mussulman tribesmen at Malkuch, a little
north of Duraxro, on Sunday, but the
news was suppressed until today. The
government troops, under Prenk Bib
Doda, were compelled to retire to Ishml,
near the coast beien Durazzo and
Alesslo.
The defeat and flight of the loyal
troops are attributed In government cir
cles here to foreign Influences and also
to the fact that PrenkBib Doda's men
had dispersed Into small bodies and had
gone on pillaging expeditions on their own
account.
It Is feared by the authorities here that
the rebels are concentrating tljelr forces
preparatory to making an attack on the
capital.

FRKEPORT, N. V July l.-The police
and county authorities today are seeking
a motlvo for tho murder last night
of Mrs. William Bnlley. wife of
William Bailey of Hempstead, In
the office of Dr. Edward Car
man. William Bailey, husband ot the
woman, Is a hat manufacturer In Brook
lyn. He was surprised to learn that his
wife had been a patient of Dr. Carman
and declared that so far as he knew she
had no enemies. Dr. Carman, too, told
the authorities that he knew of no cause
for tho crime or reason to believe the
shot waa intended for him.
Mrs. Bailey was shot through the heart
and died Instantly. According to Dr.
Carman, she arrived at his office, which
Is In his home, at 7:30 o'clock. An hour
later, he said, she was preparing to leave
when a window pane was broken, a man'a
hand holding a revolver thrust In and tho
shot fired that ended her life.
Chief of Police Roland M. Lamb, who
also Is president of Frceport, began an
Investigation with County Detective
Phineao Seaman. They found that the
window through which Dr. Carman said'
the shot had been fired was covered by j
a wire screen, which was on hinges and
could only be opened from the- inside. j
Further investigation showed that the
glass broken from the window and the
putty holding the glass had fallen both
Inside and outside the room.
Dr. Carman said today Mrs. Bailey's
visit to his office last night was her first
and that he had not been acquainted with
her before that time.
Two men patients, who were waiting
in the physician's outer office when Mrs.
Bailey was shot, said they heard no noise
until they were startled by a report of a
pistol. When they entered tho consulta
tion room Mrs. Bailey was dead and they
helped Dr. Carman carry her body to a
couch.
So many persons had trampled the
grass, outside the windows of the doctor's
office that bloodhounds brought to the
scene today proved ueeleM'They "became
confused. In the maze ofttrtiU..,"
Jealousy ?H ay Be Motive.
Evldenco-accumulatcd today to support
Dr. Edward Carman's story that Mrs.
Louise Bailey waa killed by a shot from
outside through the office window. - In
the physicians room, four feet from
the window, detectives found an Instru
ment case bearing on Its white enamel
fresh powder burns and furrow that
might have been plowed by the bullet
as It sped towards Sirs. Bailey.
This Instrument case Is so low that
had the shot been fired Inside tho room,
the persons who held the pistol must
have squatted on the floor. It was how
over, directly In the path that the bullet
would have taken from a pistol shoved
through the 1 roken window pane.
In the prsunce of detectives, Dr. Car
man today rehearsed the murder scene.
He was about to pull aside the curtain
to permit Mrs. Bailey to leave his office,
ho said, when he heard a crash of glass
and saw -a hand with a pistol poked
through tho broken pane. Ho and IiIh
patient were barely two feet apart, he
said. He ducked behind an operating
chair and as he did so the pistol waa
fired and quickly withdrawn. The de
tccttvas learned today that a few minutes
after the shot was fired, a young wo
man hurried Into the Frceport railroad
station, apparently in great- agitation.
and took the flrRt train for New York.
She was described as well dressed anil
auburn haired.
Although Dr. Carman Insisted today
he had not met Mrs. Bailey until she
called at his office ln?t night for pro
fessional advice, tho detectives began
their work with a Jealous woman In the
background of their theories regarding
the Identity of tho criminal.

COLOMBIAN PACT EXPLAINED
Minister Dubois Takes Issue with
Views of Roosevelt.
NO MAN IS ALWAYS RIGHT
Revolt In Panama I'omented by
United Htntes and Only llnndful
or Men Knew of Plan Until
It Wns Kxeonted.
HALLSTEAD, Ph.. July 1. In a state
mcnt Issued hero tonight dealing with the
proposed Colombian treaty, Jumcs T. Du
bois, who wns United States minister to
Colombia under tho Tuft administration,
tukes' Issuo with tho vlee recently ex
pressed by Colonel Roosevelt nnd explains
his own reasons for supporting the treaty-
Regarding his difference, wltji Colonel
Roosevelt on this subject Mr, Dubois ex
pressed regret at opposing "a grcit leader
wlioso fortunes I devotedly 'followed for
ten years," and states that "no man will
tolerate tho thought that any ot Colonel
Roosevelt's acts wero Inspired by tainted
motives, blit no man Is always right."
NfgoUtloiiH for, a treaty during the
Ta'ff 'administration failed, he says, bei
cailsc hlil instructions, out of excessive
'care 'not to Impugn tho motlvra of Presi
dent oRosevelt "In taking" Panama failed
to give Cblombla sufficient Justice. The
pending treaty, ho bcllovcs, should be
heartily approved by tle American people.
I'lilotnlilnnn .Men of Chnraeter.
Taking Issue with Colonel Roosevelt re
garding tho character of tho public men
In Colombia, Mr. Dubois declared that
they compared well with tho public men
of other countries In Intelligence nnd re
spectability, Instcnd of being "blnck
mailers and bandits."
Quoting Mr. Roosevelt's declaration that
the neonle of Panama were a unit In de
manding tho revolution, ho says "a hand
fuF of men who wero to be the direct
beneficiaries of tho revolution, conceived
It and not tho hundredth part ot the In
habitants ot the Isthmus knew of the
revolt until an American officer In tho
uniform of the United Htntes army, raised
tho flag of the now republic."
Tho claim made by Colonel Roosevelt
that tho Colombian treaty Is a blsck
inslllng agreement is dealt with by Mr.
Dubois In hlB Interpretation of the docu
ment I'.'xpresslon of Regret .Not Anoloiry.
"While negotiating for a treaty I made
the Colombian nuthorltlr s understand that
under no circumstances would the United
Htates apologize to' any nation for a po
litical act that was our unwritten law
that never had been and never would be
broken. In purely Informal conversations
nnd In my unofficial memorandum, I sug
geetcd that a chivalrous expression of
regret that our friendship had In any
way bcon marred, such as any real gen
tleman would freely grant to another,
might later bo embodied In the treaty as
a balm for the wounded feelings of a
once friendly nation which liHd been hu
miliated beforo tho world, whoso credit
had been destroyed In foreign countries,
whpeo borrowing ability had been annlhl
laied and whose persistent appeals for
arbitration had been Ignored. Tho opposl
tlon to this feature, on the ground that
It Is an apology, Is not Just and Is not In
the true Interests of the United mates.
If the Anglo-Saxons are to live In har
mony with the Latins on this continent
they must treat them with absolute Jus
tice, Just as we "hall exact Justice from
them."
Dealing directly with article III of tho
treaty, providing a puyment to Colombia,
which Colonel Roosevelt attacked as
blackmail, Mr- Dubois describes the
claims of Colqmbla for the unpaid an
nuities on the cession of tho translsthmlan
railroad company, tho reversionary rights
In the Panama railroad and Panama's
poitlon In the Colombian national debt,
all of which, In his opinion, should be
met by the United States.
