Tbl$ was today's slogan at the cap ltol and . it - was sounded again and again with joyous voices by every 'sen ator, representative, clerk, messenger, elevator man and page boy in the big building on the hill, for, while Sat urday was fixed In everybody's mind as the adjournment date, some time ago it was only when everybody got to the capitol this morning and found out how much .legislation had AMERICAN LAWYER STARTLES TRIBUNAL i (By Cable to The Times.) The Hague, June 23 The arbitra tion tribunal that is hearing the ar guments of counsel for England and America in the Canadian fisheries dis puteovas startled today by the speech , made by ex-United Btates Senator ' Turner as he continued his arguments began two days ago. In what was tantamount to an open defiance of the claims or Great Britain he said: "The United States insists that the right .to fish subject to the will and pleasure of Great Britain Is no right at all. Great Britain will never be allowed to set at defiance the wishes . of the United States of America." Heat In New York. New York, June 23 One death and several prostrations from the terrific heat were reported by noon today In this city, while a statement Issued from , the weather bureau gives no promise of relief for several days . to come. AH records for' high temperature for the year occurring before noon were passed today, eighty degees being recorded at 12 o'clock. The total number of deaths fo date is 14. , ; , . ' been cleaned up that the hour of de parture became a certainty. . The restless members of the house, most of whom are giving more thought to the situation at home than to what is going on in Washington came to the scene, of their public du ties tod.ay stepping as lightly and smiling as blithely as school boys whose vacation Is nigh. Messengers and laborers .fill the corridors. Chests and big uoxes con taining "literature" for campaign consumption are leaving the capitol by dray loads every-hour. There is hardly a committee room that Is not stripped nearly bare in anticipation of its coming vacancy. Fearful that many members of the house wquld not stick out the'sesBlon to the end the leaders in the bouse and senate got together yesterday and shoved legislation through at a rapid rate. In the senate the outlook is partic ularly favorable. The postal savings bank bill, campaign publicity bill, and the public buildings bill have been passed in rapid succession that Is rapid from the senate's viewpoint. Also the amendments to the irriga tion bill were agreed to and the measure providing for $20,000,000 bonds. The Appalachian-While Mountain forest reserve bill was made the un finished business and was taken up this afternoon In the house the right-of-way will be given the anti-option bill and the Appalachian-White Mountain bill. This brings congress to a point where it will be easy to adjourn by Saturday. The only apparent cloud In the oth erwise clear sky, is the sundry civil bill, over which the conferees are fighting. The principal bone of con tention is the provision carrying an appropriation of $200,000 for tbe en forcement of the Sherman anti-trust law The only trouble lies in the house amendment declaring that the provis ions of the Sherman anti-trust law shall not be applicable to labor un ions, the members of which are fighting for an Increase in wages This, however, is not looked upon as a serious menace to the Saturday ad journment plan, and It is thought that, with the other legislation out. of the way- the conferees will reach an agreement on the sundry civil bill.

(By Cable to The Times.) London, June 23 For the first time In the history of the British na tion 'women and their alms received official recognition at a cabinet meet ing today. . A long discussion was held on the question of granting the plea of the suffragettes that govern ment aid be granted for the second reading of the woman's suffrage con ciliation bill. . The fact that tbe anti-suffragettes oppose the, bill is likely, to result in its defeat, though the cabinet prac tically decided that the government would not oppose its passage.

He protested his Innocence of the murder.- I did not kill my wife," he said under heavy questioning, "and I know nothing of how she was mur dered."

A., brother of the murdered wo man, when told by Chler or Police Hayes at headquarters that the man arrested was undoubtedly the young Washington' man, cried: "I'll blow out his brains," " and then whipped out of his pocket a big army revolver. , Charlton's life was saved only by the quick work of the. chief and his detectives; , who .were In the room.

JUDGE THREW TRUST CASES OUT OF COURT Sudden Move cf the Court Came as Shock to the Prosecution A NEW INVESTIGATION Ordered a Special Of a ml Jury to lie gin Invc.sTTjjption at Once It is Understood That indue Imudis He. r Heved That Indictments Were Drawn Favorably ':to the Packing Interests Will Hirert the New Grand Jury to Go to the Bott'Jni and. Show "No Favoritism Towards (By Leased Wire to' The Times.) Chicago, June 23 Judge" Landis today threw the government's case against the National-Packing Com pany, the beef trust and its subsijiary concerns out of court and ordered a special grandJury to be summoned at once to begin a more thorough in vesication. ';; It was understood that Judge Landis believed the case against, the packers was framed favorably to tlte packing interests. The sudden move of the court came as a shock to the district attorney. It is stated that:the new. gratid jury will investigate not only the beef trust but tbe oleomargarine business Judge Landis will direct tn at the grand, jury go to the' bottom of the entire matter and show o favoritism towards any. This invfciigalion will be for the purpose of jailing those - ... responsible for existing conditions and may last through the summer and fall.. When the packing company attor neys entered court today they stated before the session that they felt con fident the court would sustain tlieii demurrer to tlie Indictment because of its faults. They seemed elated wiien Judge Landis sustained their demurrer but were unprepared for the shock of the subsequent action of the court in ordering a special grand jury..';. Along with the court's action came a report that Judge Landi3 has patch ed his differences with officials of the administration he sometime ago characterized os "governmental func tionaries," and will work with them.

HIS DAUGHTER ELOPED Mayor Gaynors Daughter Ran Away to Marry Miss F.diih Gaynor, Age 11), Married to Mr. Hurry K..Yingul, Age 4(1 Groom's Age Said to Have Been the Principal Objection to the Mar Wage. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, June 23 While Mayor William J. Gaynor was walking across Brooklyn bridge to his office today a newly-married couple were eating their first honeymoon break fast at the Plaza Hotel. This, was not extraordinary in itself, "out the fact that the bride at breakfast was the eloping daughter of the mayor 'made the coincidence one of more than or dinary interest. The-bride and bridegroom are Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kermlt Vingui.: Tvirs. Vingtit, the second daughter of Mr. Gaynor, is only 19 years old, while the broker bridegroom ' is -. 40 years old. The difference in the couples' ages is understood to have been the cause of Mr. Gaynor's objection to the marriage, which took place at Wilmington, Del., Uite yesterday. Neither would discuss the elopement today. "We have nothing to say." was the statement made by a feminine voice over the wire leading from the Vin- gut apartment on the 15th floor of the Plaza, "but I think papa will for give us.. Good-bye," was the con clusion and the receiver was hung up. The honeymoon suite was engaged by Mr., Vingut on Tuesday, when It is believed the elopement was planned. Mr. Vingut did not occupy the rooms on Tuesday, nor did tie appear at the hotoL until late last night, when he and his bride alight ed from an automobile, which brought them from the railroad sta tion. That ihe elopement plans were known to some of the friends of Mr. Vingut and the mayor's daughter !s apparent, as flowers addressed to them began arriving at the hotel yes terday. When the bridal couple en tered their suite there were flowers in every room. Mayor Gaynot is believed to have first learned of the marriage while dining In Manhattan. He spent the night at his Brooklyn residence. Mrs.. 'Gaynor and the Gaynor child ren have been living at the Gaynor summer home, St. James, L. I., for a month, or more. Miss Gaynor has- been receiving- devoted attentions' from Mr. Vhigut for the past two months. Mrs. Hal- ' 1 . Swan, who was Miss Florence ifr '''"d a lifelong friend of the ww,;' .1r made It possible for the-;!''-M. .""( often at her house and w-a Jiaperon oi many little outings. The new son-in-law of Mayor Gay nor is of English-French descent and was born in New York March 12 1870. His father was George T. VIn gut and his mother, before her mar riage, was Miss Sarah A. Floyd, noted beauty. Vingut was graduated from Harv ard with the class of '91 and for sev eral years after he left school trav eled in Europe and the Orient. He is manager of the Forty-third street branch of the brokerage firm of Thos L. Manson & Co., No. 71 Broadway It. is not in financial circles that he is noted, but as a horseman, club man, and society man. He belongs to several clubs and had one of the finest string of polo ponies in around New York. When Richard Canfiold's gambling house on East 4 4th street was raid ed in 190C a number of young so ciety men were said to have played for high stakes there, and Vingut was among them. H. Archibald Pell Jacob M. Fields, Lawrence Water- bury, Mortimer Schiff, and Reginald Vanderbilt were among others named Some got out -of the jurisdiction of the New York courts after the raid and remained away for some time. But Vingut was caught and com pelled to appear before the grand jury where he told of playing for high stakes at Canlield's. Miss Edith Gaynor is the second of the mayor's family to elope. A son Rufus W. Gaynor, eloped with Maria Glutei, the daughter of a barber of New London, Conn., on December 10, 1908. He subsequently found that his wife had a husband living. Mrs. Vingut after being beseiged by reporters for several hours finally is sued a statement to the effect that she hadn't eloped. . "It wasn't a 'runaway match," she asserted. "It was just a quiet wed ding. I have always had a fear of big, weddings, ever since I can re member, a sort of stage fright I would call it, and so we decided to slip away quietly down to Wilmington. 'Everything had been arranged some time ago and my parents knew ail about it. I had been engaged for about a year but no definite date for the marriage had been set. A few days ago we decided to go to Wil mington and get married and we just went away quietly, without telling anybody except my parents and a few friends." After Mrs. Vingut had denied that there had been anything in the nature of an elopement in her marriage, Mayor Gaynor issued a statement from the city hall in which he declar ed that the wedding had been a com plete surprise to him. He also stated that he had not even known of t!ie engagement of his daughter to Mr. Vingut. The mayor said: "Why, we never so much as sus pected such an event. We did not even know of the engagement. My wife got a dispatch at St. James and I one in Brooklyn lust evening from Vingut saying they had been married and were on the way back. All they had to do was to let us know and we would have given them a fine wed ding, ,but I suppose they wanted some romance. "Young Mrs. Swan who went along with them, did the very same thing about a year ago and married a flue fellow." DF.ATH OF MRS. PKRRV. Mi's. W. P. Perry of Wake Forest Died Last Night.
