The provision for free tolls, which was fought out in the senate on Wednesday, was indorsed again just before the passage of the measure. Attached to the bill as It passed the senate were two important amendments directed at trust or railroad control of steamship lines. The first, by Senator Reed, would prohibit ships owned by an illegal industrial combination from using the canal; and the second, by Senator Bourne, would force railroads to give up water lines that might otherwise- be their competitors, if it were proved that they were stifling competition. Opponents of the free toll proTisIon for American ships, against which Great Britain made formal protest, carried their fight up to the last moment of the bill's consideration. Just before its passage Senator Root moved to strike out the section giving free tolls to American coastwise vessels; and Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, moved to strike out the revision for free tolls to American ships in the foreign trade.

Both of these motions were defeated by overwhelming votes. As the bill passed. It would permit American coastwise vessels to pass through the canal free, without conditions; while American foreign trade ships might pass through free, if their owners agreed to sell the vessels to the United States at a fair price in time of war or emergency. BATTLESHIP HITS UNCHARTED SHOAL Nebraska Ordered to Orydock For Repairs, "Washington, Aug. 10.

The battleship Nebraska ran on an uncharted shoal near Point Judith, R. and was so seriously damaged that she has been ordered to drydock at ihs Boston navy yard. The flagship Connecticut about the same time broke her starboard crank shaft and has been ordered to Phila delphia for repairs. Rear Admiral Osterhaus, commander of the Atlantic fleet, has reported to -the navy department as follows: "Considerable damage has been done to the Nebraska passing over an un charted shoal, four miles west of Point Judith, R. I.

Will probably have to dock vessel." The navy department Immediately ordered the Nebraska to the Boston navy yard for examination. It is believed ttiat the ship has been sen- WATCH OUR WINDOWS Store closed at 6 P. M. except SATURDA YS. O.

The great fight of the day centered about the provision to permit railroad owned ships from using the canal. The broad terms of the original house bill, which would have required every railroad in the country to dispose at once of any steamship lines with which it might otherwise compete, were not accepted by the senate. This was modi- fled so that railroads would be prohibited only from owning steamship lines that may operate through the Panama canal. The Bourne amendment, however, adopted later by a vote of 36 to 25, restored much of the vigor of the anti- railroad provisions of the house bill. It provided that if the interstate commerce commission should find that any railroad had an interest in a competitive line of steamships, and that such interest was injurious to the welfare of the public, the commission might compel the railroad to dispose of its steamer connections.

Senator Brandegee, chairman of the inter-oceanic canals committee of the senate, made an ineffective fight on the rigid provisions against railroad ships. After the amendments had been adopted to the house bill, he moved that the whole paragraph relating to railroad control be stricken out. This motion was defeated, 45 to 18. A subsequent proposal by Mr. Brandegee, to permit any ships to use the canal, giving to the interstate commerce commission power of control over them, also was defeated.

The Reed amendment against trust- owned ships was called up for a second vote before the bill passed, and was adopted on nal passage by a vote of 36 to 23. onsly injured and it may be necessary to put her out of commission, replacing her in the fleet with one of the battleships in reserve at the Philadelphia navy yard. An investigation will be made immediately to locate the uncharted shoal, the existence of which in waters so crowded with shipping is a great sur prise to naval officers. Accused of Conspiracy to Bribes From Wabash Railroad Company. Detroit, Aug.

Shepherd's boodle net was cast suddenly, and when it was drawn in nineteen aldermen were In the meshes. Seventeen of them were sent to the central police station as prisoners, and eight of these were almost immediately released, UiOj among the nine aldermen who had already been arrested on the charge that they had accepted bribes. The bail they had already given was considered enough for the present. The newly arrested aldermen are: W. H.

Chindle, William Koenig, George H. Ellis, Patrick O'Brien. T. H. Lynch, Joseph Merritt.

William F. Zoeller, R. M. Watson and S. S.

A. Deimel la still being sought. Word came from tie prosecutor's office that the aldermen would be placed under arrest on the chaige that they had conspired to solicit bribes from the Wabash railroad as payment for vacating parts of streets needed for the new Fort street freight depot- Suspicion of conspiracy to get bribes from the Wabash railroad is the charge on which the arrests were made. There te no allegation that the newly arrested men accepted money, but merely conspired in connection with the deal. Shepherd gave the word to the police department and arrangements were made to have detectives go to the homes of the Suspected aldermen, get them before they had left for their places of business and bring them to the prosecuting attorney's office.

PracticaJly the entire detective force was employed to do the job. The procedure was to bring the alderman to town, take him to the prosecutor and thence to police headquarters to be searched, registered on "suspicion" and locked up in a cell.

"Baron," the head waiter, maliciously, "H'a custom with us never to serve the same course twice at a meal." "Is that so?" said Fereau, and rising from his seat he left the room. In ten minutes he came back Into the dining- room.

"Walter," said he, "1 have Just bought this hotel and am master here tow. As you will not be able to get accustomed to my plan of serving guests according to their wishes, you are dismissed at once."

A. M. Crashes Down on Workmen When Dislodged by Blast. New York, Aug. workmen were killed and four others seriously injured at the bottom of a 200 foot shaft leading out of the new aqueduct at One Hundred and Sixth street and Central Park West, when a big steel drill struck an old charge of torgotten powder.

The explosion dislodged a bowldci which crushed two men to death and pinned eight men in a corner, one dying later in a hospital. The Connecticut's accident was not so serious. It resembles that sustained last week by the battleship Mississippi. The crank shaft of the starboard engine broke. At the Philadelphia navy yard the Connecticut will be fitted with a new shaft, which will probably occupy several weeks; meanwhile AdmirafcOsterhaus will his flag to one of the other battleships.

INHUMAN PARENTS JAILED Colored Coupie Who III Treated Child Gets Six Years. Philadelphia, Aug. 10. James Smothers and his wife, Maria, colored, were convicted in the quarter sessions court on three bills of indictment accusing them of aggravated assault and battery on five-year-old Jacob Smothers, son of the man and stepson, the woman. The couple were sentenced to the eastern penitentiary by Judge Ralston "or not less than six years nor more than nine ywirs.

Xeighhois gave testimony against the couple and little Jacob was presented to the jury, and his bruised and battered body was mute evidence of the cruelties inflicted upon him. His throat showed wounds caused by rats attacking him in the cellar of the house at 122f, Mercy street; his left arm had been fractured and had never received surgical care; his back was a mass of scars caused by a red-hot poker being placed against the flesh In, two officers had to do the clerical work in connection with the arrests. The arrests, made by order of Prosecutor Shepherd, were the direct result of statements made by Eddie Schreiter, secretary of the common council committee. The question now arises whether Schreiter, in return for divulging information, was promised immunity by the authorities. Prosecutor Shepherd will not admit that Schreiter has confessed, although it was learned from an unimpeachable source that the official had told virtually all he knows.
