In framiiiK the bill to be present. The

comment on the bill till It readies
him.
The hoime met at noon to finally aii-
piove the bourn- conferees' report In
order to remove all doubt an to t no
legality of the passage of the bill.
Parliamentary experts were divided
on the question as to whether sui h
house action was necessary but the
DemocraU wanli'd to play safe.
The house adopted the conference
report by a viva voce vole. Vice IVh-
ldenl Marsnal! n presiding officer of
the venate signed the bill at 1:35 p. til.
The new dm oh provided in the bill

Tho ft iiale nt the end of a listless
debate passed tii conference report
at 8:3d o'clock last night by a Vote
tif 3."i to IV officially four nunc than
the necessary quorum of the senate.
Senator 1-aFmletto Republican and
Poindevter. Pnigrosshe voted for the
conference report as they did for t (
bill on its passage and Senators Kan.s-
ii II and Tliornion Democrats voted
against It as they did against tho hill.
Ol bet wise it was a strict parly vote.
Immediately after she pastage of the
i-ontereiice report actiiiK on the mo-
tin made by Ihe finaiire committee
tlie senate tp.lcc'nU the Smith-Lever
compromise cotton fnl ires tux amend-
ment passed by lite house Tuesday and
then receded from Us own amend-
ment known as the Clarke cotton fu-
tures tax plan. Both oftliese motions
were earned without roll calls 'mid
their effect is to leave the critton fu-
tures question out of the tariff bill ?n
tar as the house Is concerned.
The eight and ot:e half hours of de
bate in the sen ile yislerday produced
but little real criiclstn of the tariff bill
or the conference agreement. Chief
Interest centered In the speech of Sen-
ator l'enrose who raised the standard
of the angora goat over the Demo-
cratic parly and addressed the senate
through bursts of laughter over his
new duty that bad been put on wool.
The principal criticisms of the confer-
ence commit loo came from Senator
Pemerene of Ohio whose annulment
Imposing a tax of Jl.lu a gallon on
hptrits used to fortify sweet wines had
been dropped out by the conferees and
from Senator Borah whoso amend-
ment prohibit ins the Importation of
goods tuaile by child labor also had
been eliminated.
Senator Ponierene said he aeqiilose-
'ed In the adoption of the conference
report because he know t lie senate
members had been compelled to drop
the wine tax amendment. Senator
. Borah declared that the opposition to
the child labor amendment had been
fostered and ftirred up by Importers
and aided by "sinister Influences" in
this country that were opposed to re
strictions against child lalior.
"There Is nothing so pathetic noth-
ing so menacing to the citizenship of
thi3 republic" he added "as the fact
that these conditions of labor continue
here In our country year after year
and there seems no remedy for them
Attempts to impeach the work of
the conferees on points of order were
cverrul-d by Senator Clarke president
pio tempore. Senators liurton ' and
l'enrose declared the conference had1
injected new matter into the tariff bill
1'" changing rates that both houses
bad agreed to.
Senator Simmons in presenting es-
timates of the revenues to be deriveu
from the new tariff rates declared the
Democrats were to be congratulated
on the character of the tariff bill (hat
finally had been brought out of the
lonfcre'ice. committee.
"This is the first tariff bill ever
passed In this country" he said "thai
was framed by ihe whole body of the
parly responsible for the legislation."

Tliey are weaving a perfectly decent
laurel wreath ut the county court

will press it upon the broad white
blow of Joseph A. Thompson deputy
sheriff. Jt will be partly as special

rival of H.n llur that ha.i ever graced

he stands up In that buggy and begins
to beat an assembly call ai'toss old
Dobbin's ribs with a dollar and a
quarter whalebone persuader the ag
gregalion gets somewhere.
Having been tipped off that one Joe
Campbell a negro was scoulitig
through the west part of the city w ilh
a consignment of booze Thompson
jumped into his buggy and start: .! :
thither w ith the intention of foiling th
base purpose of said Campbell. Wh.-Mi j
about the corner of Kighteenth and '
Oregon Thompson sighted a buggy
that answered the description of the
one he was hunting. The negro driv-
ing the buggy turned north when a'u it
three blocks away seeing which th
officer turned north intending to in-
tercept him. lie had gout about a
block when he discovered that the
other buggy was doubling hack south.
He in torn doubled back and when ho
came to Oregon avenue saw the other
buggy disappearing west in a cloud
of dust.
Figuratively speaking the ball tap-
ped and they were off with Thompson
handicapped by some three hundred
yards but for a mile and a half no
hotter race was ever stepped by the
best of them and few have covered
the distance in better time. Hoth pur-
sued and pursuer were standim; up in
their vehicles plying the lash with a
will and it would have taken a pretty
hot race in the lioman sladium to lay
this modern chariot race on the shelf
with the mothballs.
It was simply a question of which
horse was the fastest because it is a
cinch both animals were doing their
best Thompson and the black charger
won out and when within hailing d;s
tance of the fleeing negro he called
to him to hall. Campbell complied
with a will possibly having in mind a
ertain blue-barreled It-calibre Inslru-
meiit that "de law" generally tote
around with them.
"Well l'.oss" said Campbell. "Here's
de nigger and dar's de booze. What
you Rwine to do 'id us?"
"Take yon back to jail of course"

"Dat's alright. Dat's alright. I dose
jest what you say. Whenever dese
while folks gels hold ob a nigger he
got lor do Jest as dey says."
Twelve quarts of whisky were cap-
tured with Campbell. He was landed
in jail to await bis preliminary hear-
ing. Special to the Daily Express.

telegram by rutted Pre.
ICteff Oct. 3. The chief counsel for
Mendel Beilis whose trial is to open
in the criminal section of the Kieff
district court on October 8 today re-
cdved from London a certified copy
of the full reiKirt of the British experts
who alter an exaaubuvo analysis of lb.-
records of the two postmorten exam-
inations of the boy Andrei Yuschinsky
completely dumolibhed the "ritual mur-
der" th. ory.
Determined efforts will be made- by
M. Karavchevsky and Oruesenberg
leading members of the St. Petersburg
bar who were retained on behalf of
Beilis by a number of wealthy Russiaa
Jews to introduce this report as evi-
dence. If they are unable to do so
directly they will incoriorate its sub-
stance in the form cj bypothecal ques-
tions to be submitted io the experts
who have been subpoenaed by tho
crown. In like manner they will offer
the reports of the German Austrian
aud French medicolegal authorities
who reached a similar verdict.
At the head of the London committee
was Dr. W. H. Wilcox senior expert of
the British home office whose remark-
able analysis conclusively proved thac
Dr. Crippen murdered Belle Elmore.
I lis associates were A. J. Pepper sen-
ior expert in the public prosecutions
department and Dr. Charles A. Mer-
cier consulting physician for mental
diseases at Charing Cross hospital.
The main contention of the crown in
endeavoring to establish the "ritual
murder" theory was that the 47 stab
wounds were Inflicted by the murder-
er for the purpose of draining the
boy's body of blood while he was still
alive in. ! ;jnl in the making of
pi:--'3r bread. On this point the
British experts assert:
"It appears to us qutie impossible
to suppose that the boy was killed for
the purpose of collecting his blood. If
the murderer had wanted the boy's
blood he would have used a knfe or
cutting instrument and probably
would have cut the throat or arm of
his victim. He would not have inflict-
ed punctured wounds with an awl or
chisel-like Instrument tor these
wounds cause internal bleeding and
not such copious external bleeding as
a cutting instrument.
"In our opinion this case was one of
murder prompted neither by greed
! lust nor revenge but committed with
excessive unnatural and frantic vio-
lence. It was a coarse brutal mur-
der committed by a person of unsound
mind and by means; of such au instru-
ment as happened to be at his service.
We find no evidence whatever to sug-
gst thi nationality or occupation of
) the murderer. Such murders as this
are frequent enough and are charac-
teristic. They indicate from the lack
of motive and from excessive violence
that the murderer is insane. It is well
known to every alienist and medical
jurist of experience that murders of
this kind are quite common In the
case of lunatics affected b epilepsio
larvee r nd that they also ocu; not
infrequently in ether forma of mental
disease."

dence of Prof. Sirosky of St. Vladimir
university at Kieff whose declarations
were made the basis of the 'ritual mur-

emphatically disagree v"h his con-
clusions. It is well known that the
Jews slaughter artimals by cutting
their throats right across with a spe-
cial knife with a long broad sharp
blade. This fact is of importance they
point out for it clearly demonstrates
that the murder was not committed by
