POLITICAL.

A politician in landing a job Is very
much like woman in landing a hus-
band. He puts in all his work before
he gets the job and forgets to keep up
appearances after he has it-Atchison

We have no word to say against pol
itics. Only it need not absorb us COM
pletely. Those who are interested in
other things and who make a decent
living by hard work can give too much
time to politics-that is. too much for
their own 0ood-lndianaDolisN News.

MR.MORGAN SUSTAINED
COMMITTEE DECIDES THAT
CROMWELL MUST TESTIFY.

WHiiam Neison Cromwell of New York
counsel for the Panama Canal Company.
from which the United States bought the
isthmian waterway property, and director
or the Panama railroad, will be compelled
to answer questions propounded by Senator
Morgan, If decision reached today by the
Senate committee interoceanic canals
can be upheld. If Mr.. Cromwell maintains
the attitude that has characterized his
former attendance as witness before the
committee, his alleged contumacy will be
carried to the Senate, and If the commit
tee IS upheld 1t is likely that the contest
between the Alabama senator and the New
YORK lawyer will eventually get into the
courts. The test will come next Tuesday
to which date the committee adjourned
When the committee convened today
there were present Chairman Mllard and
Senators kittredge, Hopkins, Morgan, Tall
aferro, Simmons and Culberson. This was
the third attempt that had been made to
get quorum to dispose of the question as
to whether Mr.. Cromwell should be COM
PEELED to submit to an examination which
required answers relating to period
prior to the time the canal property was
acquired by the United States. Mr.. Crom-
well declined to give any information con-
corning that period on the ground that 1t
involved confidential relations with his
client the new Panama Canal Company.
Senator Morgan today brought forward
a motion prepared several weeks ago that
Mr.. Cromwell be required to answer certain
questions that had been put to him during
the several examinations.
This motion sets forth the questions and
the refusals of the witness. Chairman Mil
lard and Senator Hopkin today argued
strongly that the committee had no right to
go back Of the record of government owner
ship of the canal property, but when the vote
was taken they stood alone in the support
of that contention, Senators Morgan, Kit
tredge. Simmons. Taliaferro and Culberson
voted that Cromwell should be required to
answer the questions embraced In Senator
Morgan's motion. The chairman was in
stucted to summon Cromwell to appear next
Tuesday, and to give him a statement of
the action taken by the committee. SO that
he shall come prepared to meet the situa-
ton.
Mr. Cromwell was before the committee
three weeks ago. and for the fourth time de-
clned to answer several questions asked by
Senator Morgan. There was not quorum
present and Senator Morgan was poweriess
to enforce his position that the witness
should be required to answer On that occa-
sion Mr. Cromwell stated privately that IL
the committee would vote to sustain the AL
ALBANIA sens tor he should carry the question
to the courts
Fhe Senate today adopted Senator Nor
gan's resolution providing for an investi-
cation by the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals of the relation of the PAN
ANA railroad to the isthmian canal COM
mission. The resolution was so modified
as to give the committee discretion in the
matter, whereas as originally introduced
it was mandatory.

WAKEFIELD ON LEE CASE
MARYLAND GOVERNOR PROM
IsEs PROMPT TRIAL.
special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 14.-As the re-
suit of a conference between Gov. War
field and Judge Henry Page of Somerset
county this morning it was determined
that William Lee, the negro accused of
rape, who Is now held in Norfolk Jail by
the Virginia authorities, would be tried
with the utmost promptness and punished
if convicted, but that an orderly trial and
punishment by due course of law only
would be assured by whatever part of the
power of the state might be found
necessary. Further than this the COVER
nor would not disclose his plans.
Gov Swanson of Virginia has consented
to keep Lee in Norfolk Jail until he is
wanted, and it is possible that he will
remain there until after his indictment
by the grand jury of Somerset, a special
session of which has been called for
Wednesday. At that time 1t is almost
certain that. a military guard will be on
hand though from what organization of
the state guard it Will be taken is not
made public.
AdJt Gen. Riggs was in consultation
with the governor during the morning
but neither would say whether their con-
versation touched this point The execu-
tive office was also in touch this morning
with Sheriff Brown of Somerset who is
az Princess Anne.
He was informed that the requisiton
for Lee had been made out and would be
forwarded on request. The fact that he
did not come to Annapolis this morning,
as expected, indicates, however that Lee
will be kept at Norfolk until after his in
dictment. Governor Warfield said this
morning: Both Judge Page and myself
are determined that the majesty of the
law shall be preserved, and it will be in
sured by all the force at the command of
the state.
Lee will be tried promptly, and, If con-
victed, punished with equal promptness.'
Lee Still in Jail at Norfolk.

awaiting the arrival of the sheriff of Som
erset county with extradition papers for
his return to the state of Maryland. AS
yet 1t is unknown to what part of Mary
land the sheriff of Somerset will take Lee
from Norfolk.
A special term Of the county court of
Somerset has been called for Wednesday,
June 20, to try the prisoner.

Despite the tremendous drawback of bad
weather the homecoming week has SO far
been an unqualified success.
Today was given over to a program in
memory of Stephen c. Foster. whose song,
THE Old Kentucky Home" has made
kentuckys name household word
throughout the world. 1t Is doubtful II any
composer ever received more fiattering
tribute than that accorded to Foster today,
when 1,0e0 of the school children of Louis
vile, who, by their contributions, have
made possible a Foster monument of bronze,
which is to stand in the new capitol at
Frankfort, sang his beautiful music in
chorus and cheered every mention of his
name.
Shortly after noon the children gathered
at Sd avenue and Broadway and escorted
by the Louisville Light Infantry. marched
to the armory on Walnut street. After an
invocation by the Rev. E. l.. Powell and
addresses by Jerry South of Arkansas and
r. w. Miller of Richmond, KY, the model
of the Foster statue was unveiled by Mrs.
Marion Foster Welsh of Allegheny, Pa,
daughter of Mr.. Foster. Standing by the
side OF Mrs. Welsh were Mrs. Jesse Welsh
Rose, granddaughter of the composer, and
his two great-grandchildren, Dorothy Jane
Rose and Stephen Collins Foster Rose. The
chorus of children. accompanied by an or
chestra, then sang In a manner that evoked
enthusiastic cheers THE Old Kentucky
Home" ''Old Folks at Home, ''Old Black
joe and other of Fosters melodies. The
songs were finely sung and the feeling they
evoked was happily expressed by an aged
home-comer, who remarked: IF you Jest
drawl them Foster songs a mite when you
sing EN- they'll maize the richest man in
the world feel mighty poor.
Solos were charmingly sung by Mrs. Jesse
Bowman Webb of Louisville and j. Victor
Foster of Fulton, n. Y. The playing of a
few of Fosters melodies on the flute which
was used during his lifetime brought the
exercises to a close.

Energetic efforts are being made to Sc
cure the necessary number of signatures to
call for republican caucus next Tues
day to provide for fixing up the immigra-
ton bill for consideration In the House
The immigration bill is privileged meas
ure and could be called up at any time

to amendments, and the advocates of the
bill do not desire that.

fixing an educational test and providing for
tax of 50 on each immigrant are objec-
tionable to many members of the House.
and the friends of the bill in its present
form are said to be afraid to risk a vote
What they want is special rule from
the committee on rules which will give the
bill immunity from amendments. 1t is said
that the pure food bill will not antagonize
the immigration bill, but that the pure food
bill will come up in due time.
