Sought to Avenge His Imaginary
WRONGS

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., June 49,

it has developed that the life of Major
Shockley, treasurer of the Soldiers
home, was threatened by Joseph W.

learned of the plot to hold up the pay
master in the woods north of the Sol
diers home while removing the pension
money. amounting to $4,000, from Leav-
enworth to the home.
Oliver told a comrade that he was the
originator Of the plot and that only for
the police protection accorded the pay
master it would have succeeded. Shock
ley thought the man a harmless lunatic
and no attempt was made to arrest him.
Today oliver was induced to talk for the
first time since the arrest. He related a
long list of supposed wrongs the govern
or had done him, and ended by declaring
his innocence.
The national board Of managers Of the
Soldiers home is expected Monday or
Tuesday on its tour of inspection and to
make arrangements to transfer Gov.
Smith to the Pacific branch at Santa
Monica, Cal. Governor Smith stated to-
day that nothing would be done toward

FREE TRADE
Must Be Supplemented by Colonial
Consolidation

LONDON, June 14.-All the morning
papers comment on the speeches Of the
duke of Devonshire and Wilfred Laurier,
the Canadian premier, at a banquet
given on Saturday evening, in Liverpool.
by the chamber of commerce.
The duke of Devonshire, speaking as
president Of the British Empire league.
said: while we continue to believe that
free trade is one Of the best and wisest
policies for this country, we can all see
that the virtues and results which were
expected to follow free trade have not
been realized, and the propriety Of its
universal adoption has been falsified.
Yet the Cobdenites still seek to persuade
us that it is best that Great Britain
should be the only free trade country in
the world. During the last fifty years
we have learned by painful experience
that neither old nor new markets are
opened to us by the influence of free
trade alone, and that IL we want to pro-
vide the increasing commerce necessary
for the support of our increasing popula-
ton we must find those markets our
selves. and not neglect the opportunity
of expanding and consolidating the col
onies."
Premier Laurier, in the course Of his
response, said: ''The feeling dominating
Canada is one of pride in her local
autonomy and legislative liberty, con-
nected with imperial unity. Whatever
errors there may have been in the past,
the past is closed forever, and a new era
has dawned and allegiance is accepted
in Canada by all. The general senti-
ment Is for closer commercial unior.
The time may come when the present
conditions of citizenship will be felt to
be inadequate. A solution for this will
be found in the old British principle of
representation"
Most of today's comments upon these
speeches are in tone of lively satisfac
ton.
