Southern Senators to Make
strong Fight on Cotton
Bagging Schedule
WASHINGTON, June 17. The cor.
poration tax question will receive the
attention of the senate during the
prent week. Just when the subject
ill be taken up depends upon the
time devoted , to the few schedules
yet tn be considered In connection
with the tariff. Friends of the bill
are optimistic about disposing ol these
lew schedules Jn short order. They,
however, embrace the questions of cot
ton ties, cotton .bagging and binding
twine and -these are possibilities for
nurn aiscussion in connection wnn
all these items. The Southern, sena
tors will make a determined, though
probably a losing light In favor of
free huKKinK and ties, contending that
If binding twine is to go on the du
tiable list to Btttlsfy the farmers of the
Northwest the other articles should
tie riven the same treatment to cratifv
the farmers of the South.
Other articles still requiring atten
tion are cotton and cotton waste, ar
senic, clavf asDhaltum and feldSDar.
There will also be a further effort to
amend the provisions relating to steel
rtlls and structural steel.
Lively Debate Promised.
With these Items disposed of, the
senate will .. take un the corDoratlon
tax Question which will come ud In
connection with the Income tax
amendment previously offered by
Senator Bailey.
Many speeches are promised on
these two subtects and thev 'Will be
jointly considered. The corporation

be oreaentefl as a substitute for the
Bailey amendment and the right will

supporters df the 'administration are
confident of success. They say that

The Recent Tragedy.
(By Associated Pre.)
ST. MICHAELS, Md , June 27
The theory that Edith May Wood III
was lured to ' Laurie Bob" Eastman's
lonely bungalow without knowledge
of where she was going and that she
was drugged and detained there
against her .wishes, was advanced to
day When a further search of the
shaok which the superstitious folk of
the neighborhood forever more will
shun as hauntefti-aevealed a small bot
tle' which a hasty examination shows
contained a mixture of narcotic drngt
There were strong evidences of mor
phine In the nearly empty bottle.
This discovery tends to bear out the
theory which the people of the com
munity iwho know the girl long have
wanted to believe. They never listened
to the idea that she was Involved In
a drunken orgy at the bungalow and
haw contended that she lost her life

who acknowledged his guilt iby snuff

thorities still further away from the
Idea, that anyone other than Eastman
had a hand in the murder. It Is in

accommodations for visitors whatever.
In a new 'made grave, not fifty feet
from the scene of the crime which
led him to his death. Eastman's hodv
was laid away In the early hours of
today. No man of the church was
there to offer a last word for the
dead; no friend or relative came near.
The undertakers and their assistants,
a little 'band of newspaper men and
a tew Idla peraous morbidly attract

esln, were the only persons at' the
grave. With bared heads they ropeat

prayer. Mrs. Eastman, stopping
twelve miles away, at Easton, express

Near Scene of
Michaels on the seven mile trip to
the bungalow.
Notwithstanding the early hour to
day .there were many people slims,
in the streets of St. Michaels am
along the way to witness the passing
of the strange cortege. No cnur. h
or church ysrd of the vicinity rwnuld
open its doors or -tabes to the dead
man. Superstitious negroes who on
yesterday could not be Induced to dig
the grave, stood awe-stricken todsv
on the outskirts of the funriral parly
No more lonely spot could well
imagined than where the Isolated bun
gajow stands. When the hearse har
drawn up alongside the grave, fur
men lifted the casket from the vehi
cle and placed It temporarily on two
plank supports, stretched serosa tin
gran , Into which a pine 'box had al
ready been lowered. Marsh water had
seeped into the grave owr nlgrht.
Hesitated to Pray.
The undertaker drew hack the slid
ing lid of the racket tn order thai
all might see that It was Eastman
who was being consigned to his last
resting place and closed it aain. As
the casket wsted above the grave
ready to be. lowered, there was an
awkward pause.
"Gentlemen," said the undertaker
"it seems to me that some one should
say a little word or prayer. Won't
one of you?" HI glance fsll upon
James Sutton, a merchant, of Beri

CITY IS SEARCHED
NEW YORK, June 27.
n th.
ninth day sfter the discovery of EIhv
Hlgel's body and presumably th
eighteenth day after the crime j
committed, th N'w York police ar
obliged to admit tonight that If any
thing they are little further from
any clue to the whereaihoiits of Ura
Ling, the man w ho Is thought to hay
killed her, than on the afternoon
when her 'body wn:i found wedged li
a trunk In the rooms of a Chinaman
in Eighth avenux- They still believe,
howevwr, that He Is sure to be run
down. The most significant fact of
the ce Is that there is absolut K
nothing to Indicate w hen or how L'-on
Ling left the city. If. It is argued,
he stIH remains here, hidden In th"
rooms of some friend, it can be an
swered that every houxe in Chinatown
has IHeen aarched. room by room
and every wall and floor sounded.
No isolated laundry or restaurant has
been overlooked.
The Information coming from New
ark yesterday that Leon Ling left the
trunk In a restaurant there has been
substantially ronflrmed, with sli'nt
alterations tn details and hours; hni
It only makes the case more puzzling.
It appeaf today rnrm. the books ot
the Lawrence Ca company that Li
Ring, the restaurant keeper, did ac
cept the trunk and that he kept It
In his pla-e for twelve hours, although
he has dented It.
But police investigation shows th."
the trunk was taken to Newark be
tween midnight June . and lam
of JuiM 10. and remained there unti1
the afternoon of rhe tenth ThM
places the time of the murder a da
ahead of the time prvously fixed bv
the police, and on the same day that
the girl disappeared from home
James F Halstead. the Newark cab
man who drove Leon and the tnin't
bar after Ms twelve hours rest In
Newar. has positively Identified 'he
