By HARRY J. BROWN. Special to Tbe Tribune. 2. Democrat b WASHINGTON. Jun leaders of the senate, in conference today, decided to abandon the proposed offering of a resolution calling for an investigation of the Crowder mission to Cuba, which had for its object the limiting of Cubas sugar output, and instead, it Is the intention to air the Cuban Incident when the sugar Ahedule of the tariff bill is reached in the senate. Democratic senators have been gathering all the Information obtainable with reference to the sending of General Crowder to Cuba, and one of their number will be chosen to present these facta to the senate. Facts in Democratic hands are. far from complete, and it Is the Indention to call upon Republican senators to furnish such facts as they themselves have been unable to obtain Amohg other things, they will call for all official had with General correspondence Crowder, both from this government, and from the Cuban government; they will seek to secure copies of General Crow der s reports, and w ill undertake openly to probe Into the Crowder mission to develop its inspiration and to disclose the circumstances that led up to sending the general to Cuba. One purpose of the Democrats in raising this issue forf open discussion is to lay the foundation for a demand for a lower rate of dntv on sugar than is proposed in the pending tariff bill. Another purpose is to draw Senator Smoot of Utah into the discussion, because It is known that he was a party to the conference that led to the sending of Crowder to Cuba, and probably Is more fa miliar with that transaction than any other member of the senate From Senator Smoot the Democrats hope to draw considerable infotmatlon, heretofore the proposition Tegardlng which General Crowder made to the Cuban government. Senators who participated In the conference today aay that the Crowder Incident la due for a complete airing, and when the facta are fully developed, they believe they will have justified a cut in the duty on sugar below 1 60 cents a pound. While the Democrats have not fixed on a rate which they will suggest as a substitute for 1 60, some of them believe the duty on Cuban sugar should not be more than a cent a pound. The lowest rate mentioned by General Crowder, so far av known, was 1 25 cents per pound, on condition that Cuba would curtail her crop to 2,500.000 tons Present Indications are that the sugar schedule will not be reached before the end of next week. Whlll the democrats planning a campaign to reduce the sugar to win tariff, the farm bloc is expecting to two its fig'it to increase the dutv cents a pound Discussion of the sugar schedule promises to .be much enlivened by the publicity campaign Democrats are now preparing to stage. ' tft-- Last Surviving Daughter of Indian Chief Dead Special to The Tribune. Idaho, June 2 Mary POCATELLO, Gibson Williams, last surviving daughter of old Chief Gibson Jack of the Shoshone tribe of Fort Hall Indians, died recently on the reservation and her burial on the "Bottoms was solemnized with the full rites accorded princesses of the royal blood in the olden days of Indian supremacy. Mrs. Williams was the wife of Woody Williams, a Shoshone Indian farmer of Tyhee, and had been well known for years ns a friend of the white man. She was 63 years of age. Tozep, as she was called as a maiden, was ths first Indian woman known to She wa's the employ a white doctor. mother of a son. Rooker 'Williams, who survives her.

He admitted that if a sufficient number of irrigation districts appeared from any state or group of state Tribms. WASHINGTON. June I. Senator W. H. King of Utah win offer a new land reclamation amendment to the eo Idler bonua bill when that measure cornea up for consideration in the senate, but will draw his amendment along lines dlfler-efrom ths plan and different also from ths reclamation plan which the finance committee struck from ths bonus bill. Senator King will strive primarily to make his amendment pro vide for ths reclamation of government lands, which means that It will be an irrigation, rather than a general reclamation proposal. On the question of reclamation Senator King takes issues with southern senators, and does not approve the general reclamation plans heretofore proposed in congress because, in the main, they contemplate the reclamation of private lands. This, the senator thinks, is bsyond ths constitutional power of congress. Swamp land projects contemplate the reclamation of lands wholly In private or state ownership. and soms of the irrigation projects that have been under contemplation are designed primarily to reclaim private lands. Senator Kings amendment will eliminate such projects, and confine ths proposed legislation to projects which are, for the roost part, public landa and such lands as might be reclaimed under the national reclamation act. Another purpose which Senator King haa In mind la to frame an amendment that will not permit anv state or group of statea to gain any undue advantages kt the distribution of funds for reclamation. The bill contains no provision whatever governing the apportionment of moneys appropriated for reclaof mation, but proposes ths adoption projects as fast as Irrigation districts are formed and bonds are issued. This plan. Senator King aay a, would Smlth-McNa- Smlth-McNa- ry ry Smlth-McNa- ry the to exhaust with bonds sufficient funds appropriated by congress, all subsequent applicants would be compelled to await further appropriations. Senator King Intends to guard against any such possibility. Utah, he says, ha three or four large and feasible projects which embrace almost entirely vacant government lends, the only type of land which he believe the got era men t conHe will not stitutionally can reclatm give his approval to any legislation which would, by any possibility, bar Utah from full and fair participation in the benefits of any appropriation or which might operate to shut out Utah project entirely. Irrigation districts hve not been formed, he save, on the Itah project, and It would take considerable time to form districts and issue bonds to meet the requirements of the bill. Therefore the senator will not draw his reclamation amendment to the bonus y bill on the lines of the bill.

Attorney Presmont stated that extradition of Durbin to Ohio had been requested, a similar charge having been placed against him in Cleveland. Senator Watson, without mentioning the Durbin case, except by Inference, declared the youth was arrested by Burns detective, fifteen minutes after leaving his (Senator Watsons) office, on a check forgery charge which the sena. tor said was a year and a half old. Young Durbin, Senator Watson said, had informed him regarding an alleged release bv the attorney general of the British steamer J M Young at New York, after seizure for violation of the prohibition Uft g.

Burns, chief of the department of justice bureau of investigation positively denied there- wsa any connection with Durbin's arrest and any, visit to Senator Watson's office In continuing his address. Senator Wat son assailed Mr. Daugherty again for his connection with the pardoning of Charles W. Morse, New York banker, from At- lanta penitentiary In 1912. Again mentioning no names, the senator said Mr- Daugherty had recommended clemency In the case of a atre, who, the senator declared, had been found guilty of misconduct with a 15 - multi-milli- year-ol- d girl.
