WOULD NOT AID SMUGGLER.
Dining Car Cooks Refused Money
Chinaman Died in Ice Box.

Chicago, June 11.-August Mueller
and Gustave Weir, dining car cooks,
employed on the Golden State Limited
of the Rock Island railroad, told on the
witness stand before Judge Lands
how they had refused offers of money
to aid in smuggling Cinnamon into the
United States. The men were wit
nesses for the prosecution in the trial
of Bob Leung, a well-to-do Chinese
merchant of Ell Paso.
Until one Chinese was smothered to
death it was the regular practice, ac-
cording to- testimony, to place the
smuggled Chinese in an icebox of the
dining car after they had been put
aboard the Golden Gate Limited. "The
icebox," testified Albert Champion, a
negro cook on one of the cars in ques-
tion, "was about four by four by two
and one-half feet in dimensions. On
one occasion one of the brakemen told
me we would have to find some other
way of carrying these Chinese. They
won't ride in the box since that one
was smothered.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS
Monday, June 7.

Washington, June 1.-THE senate
chamber was again today the scene of
lively debate, Aldrich leading the
conservatives and Beveridge heading
the progressives, did most of the talk
ing. Both senators were frequently on
their feet and there were many sharp
conflicts between them.
Beginning the session with vote on
the recommendation of his committee
for duty of 3 cents square yard and
20 per cent ad valorem on the fabric
known as window hollands. Aldrich
was apparently somewhat encouraged
over the prospect of making decided
headway with the cotton schedule.
About the middle of the afternoon
the senate reached its second vote,
which was on an amendment by Sena-
tor Dolliver to strike out the commit
tee provision fixing duty of one cent
square yard for the process of mer-
cerization. The amendment was lost
by the unusually close vote of 32 to
38. The narrowing of the margin was,
however, due to the absence of senat-
ors rather than to the conversion of the
progressives to the Aldrich standard.
At the night session Dolliver argued
against duty of so per cent ad val
orem on cotton tapestry and jacquard
figured goods as affording too much
protection to American manufacturers.
Aldrich then offered an amendment
making the rate of 40 per cent ad val
orem on goods valued at more than ST..
These rates were adopted.

IuesdaY. June 8.

Washington, June S.-Much good
humor and pleasantries were injected
into the debate on the woolen schedule
in the senate today. Dolliver, the
central figure, offered several amend
ments and announced his intention of
preserving others, appealing to Repub-
lican members to vote with him be-
cause, he said, the amendments would
justify the attitude of the Republican
party in advocating protective tariff.
One of the interesting features was
a lecture on the woolen industry from
beginning to end by Carter, who
brought forth a large box filled with
samples of various grades of wool. To
senators who gathered about him he
explained each step in the manufacture
of woolen goods from the raising of
sheep to the making of tn garment.
He familiarized members of the senate
with the uses of shoddy waste, soils,
tops and various grades of wool.

Fire Eats Up Timber.

Victoria, B. c., June 9.-Despite
the greater stringency of the law to
prevent forest fires, the fr-covered
mountains fringing Vancouver island
coast are blazing lines of flames at no
fewer than four points between Vic
toria and Clayoquot. The most serious
fire at present is in the Jordan Meadow
district, where large areas purchased
only few weeks ago by Michigan cap
italists are now threatened with total
destruction. A telegram from the
Meadows says rain alone can save the
entire tract.

READJUST TARIFFS.
Interstate Cammerce Commission to
Hold New Hearing.

Washington, June 10.-Under an Or
der issued by the Interstate Commerce
commission today all class rates fixed
by its recent decision in the Spokane
case will be put into effect July l, but
the commodity rates touched upon in
that case will continue as at present
without change until after the commits
sion has taken further testimony and
given further consideration to such
rates, both to the Coast and from Coast
points East. This order was entered
after a brief hearing this morning,
participated in by representatives from
Spokane. Portland and other interested
Coast and Interior cities.
This is a practical reversal of the
famous freight rate case. While the
whole matter of graded rates and the
effort of the railroads to build up job
bing centers in the Middle West to the
detriment of the Pacific Coast is post
poned until the fall for full hearing
and discussion, the commission has
withdrawn, tentatively at least, from
the position it assumed in the decision
in the Spokane case when it ordered
reductions in class and 80 commodity
rates from Chicago to Spokane.
Although the class rates ordered at
that time are to go into effect, these
rates only affect less than carload lots
and scarcely ! 5 per cent of the traffic
moves under them.

JUDGE DEFENDS HENEY.
Declares Man Shot in Court Room
Entitled to Sympathy.

OeCIdTeS wan onot III SouTt HooT'
Entitled to Sympathy.
San Francisco, June "a quarrel
of unparalleled bitterness, involving
Judge William P. Lawlor and virtually
all of the attorneys engaged in the
trial of Patrick Calhoun, enlivened a
day otherwise devoted to presentation
of routine testimony. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney started the dis
pute by charging that Earl Rogers, an
attorney for the defense, had been
smiling at certain members of the jury.
There was an angry response from
John T. Barrett, of the defense, who
declared that the prosecution had un-
necessarily prolonged the trial by the
introduction of trivial matters.
The subject of the jurors smiles was
about to be dismissed, when John j.
Barrett reopened the issue by saying
II do not think we should be lee
tured by the district attorney into a
state of seriousness regarding this
case. The prosecution has spent weeks
in a presentation of matter that is RI
diculous, trivial and ludicrous, attempt
ing by the length of time devoted to
their presentation to make the jury
think them worthy of consideration"
For these remarks Barrett was
sternly reprimanded by Judge Lawlor,
who told the attorney that if he made
another such reference he would send
him to Jail.
eff the court intends to punish me. -
Barrett answered, "then what about
this man sitting over here, who has re-
peatedly- been permitted to insult the
court, the jury and the attorneys?"
Heney at once took up the fray and
shouted:
"These are the ebullitions of man
who was appointed to Office by the
crookedest mayor the city ever had,
Eugene E. Schmitz.''
"Why, you've been mixed up in more
crooked work than any man in this
courtroom" said Barrett.
"Mr. Heney has never insulted the
court, "thundered Judge Lawlor sternly.
''He has certain temperamental quail
tiles which l have observed and made
allowance for. He was stricken dowr
in this court while engaged in the per-
formance of his duty, and resumed his
activities at an early date. Mr.. Hene5
is laboring under endorsements which
should appeal to the humanity of any
individual. That circumstance appeals
to the court if it does not appeal tt
counsel on the other side."

Object to WhiskeY Tax.

London, June 10.-John E. Redmond,
the Nationalist leader, hoisted sig
nal of revolt in the course of the de-
bate in the house of commons today.
He notified the government bluntly
that the Nationalist party would vote
against the budget on the ground that
it was grossly unfair to Ireland, and
constituted breach of the act of union.
Mr.. Redmond's objection was to the
proposed increase in the tax on whisky,
which he characterized as a crushing
imposition on one of Erin's few re-
naming industries.

CANADIAN LOCK IN
500 CANAL RUINED
Two Vessels Sunk and a Third Badly
Wrecked as Result.
Big Liner Rams Locks and Current
Sweeps REORGANIZATION and a
Quarter is loss-Blame for Acct
dent is Put on Engineer of Steam
Freighter.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, June TO-
Because the engineer of the Gilchrist
liner Perry G. Walker misunderstood
signals from the pilot this afternoon
as the vessel was off the Canadian
locks of the $500" canal, the 81, O0O,-
600 waterway is damaged to the extent
of $1,250,OOO; the Perry G. Walker
and the Crescent City are sunken
wrecks, the Canadian Pacific steamer
Assiniboia is badly damaged and two
waterfalls and giant whirlpool are
raging in what was formerly the great
canal.
The Walker, steel steamer of over
1900 tons displacement. was approach
ing The canal locks from Lake Superior,
when her captain signalled the engineer
for "half speed" The engineer mis-
understood the gongs and the big
freighter was sent forging ahead at top
speed, striking the leaf-gates of the
high level chamber of the canal and
crushing them in like paper. Instantly
the full force of all the water in Lake
Superior surged into the chamber, car

freighter were only feather.
At the same time the Crescent City,
of the Steel Trust fleet, was entering
the locks from the lower end, while a
little distance astern of her was the c.
P. r. boat Assiniboia. The rush of
water in the upper lock swept down
the intervening canal gates and poured
through in an uncomfortable torrent.
On the crest of the great wave thus
made was carried the Walker, and the
rush of water picked up the Crescent
City like chip of wood and hurled her
against the Assiniboia.
A huge hole was torn in the bow OF
the latter vessel, while the two former
ones were carried through the canal
and sank in the open water beyond.
Tugs went to the rescue of the Assini-
boi and hauled her to the flats on the
American side, where she settled into
the soft mud.
The loss to the Canadian govern
ment probably will reach 25O, ,OOO
pounds, and the damage to the Assini-
boia is estimated at 500, 900.

DR.. HALE DEAD.
Chaplain of Senate Passes Away A.
ter Brief Illness.

Chaplain Of Senate Passes Away Af-
ter Brief illness.
Boston, June 1.-THE morning light
was breaking as the venerable Edward
Everett Hale, D. D., chaplain of the
United States senate, Unitarian divine,
author, journalist and lover of peace,
breathed his last yesterday in his home
in Roxbury.
At his bedside were his wife, his
daughter, Miss Ellen D. Hale, and his
son, Philip L. Hale, the artist. Two
other sons, Arthur Hale, of Washing
ton, and Professor Edward Everett
Hale, Jr., of Union college, returned
home last evening. 1t is expected
that partial arrangements for the fun
eral on Monday in the South Congre-
gational church, of which DR.. Hale
was the pastor emeritus, will be an
nounced tomorrow.
On his return from Washington a
few weeks ago it was reported that
DIR. Hale was not in good health, but
he soon regained his activities and
until Tuesday attended meetings and
received friends. 1t seems as though
the whole country joined in mourning
the loss of DR.. Hale. Messages ex-
pressing sorrow and esteem poured into
the Hale household, one of the first
being from President and Mrs. Taft.
AS an author DR.. Hale's fame rests
on his short stories, such as "The Man
Without Country" AS an instiga-
tor of social uplift, the work of the
two great organizations, the Lend-a-
Hand club and the Kings Daughters,
will always add to his renown. AS a
minister and pastor his half century in
the pulpit of the South Congregational
church and his preaching in many other
churches were prolific of wise spiritual
inspiration. AS historian his writ
ings have become authorities.

Friday, June H..

Washington, June 1.-THE income
tax shared with the wool schedule the
senate's attention today, and after dis
cusson of an hour or more its further
consideration was postponed until June
18 by a vote of As to 81. This action
was the result of motion made by
Aldrich, which followed charge by
Bailey that undue influence was being
brought to bear against the proposed
income tax amendment to the tariff
bill. Aldrich declared that he knew of
no such effort, but pleaded for tae
postponement of the question until the
schedules should be disposed Of.
1t was agreed to admit animals for
breeding free of duty and an amend
ment offered by Aldrich putting fruit
in brine on the free list was adopted.
The consideration of the free entry
of hides was postponed for later con-
sideration. An amendment offered by
Dick admitting miners safety appli-
ances free until January l, 1912. was
agreed to as amended by Culberson,
eliminating the restriction as to the
time.
1t was decided to pass over the oues-
tion of free refined petroleum. Orange
oil was stricken from the free list and
nut oil and oil of nuts were placed on
it. The restriction on the value of oils
admitted free to 60 cents gallon was
stricken out and palm kernel was added
to the list. Oleostearine was also in
cuded in the free list.

"Wednesday. June 9.

Washington, June 9.-The woolen
schedule of the tariff bill was still un-
der consideration by the senate today
when the recess for dinner was taken.
The committee amendment increasing
the house rate on wool tops and other
wastes from 20 cents a pound to ~
cents pound was adopted by vote of
30 to 80. This was finance commit
tee change and the committee scored
its usual majority. Gamble and Craw-
ford deserted the "progressives," but
with these exceptions the ranks of the
contingent remained unbroken. The
committee amendment increasing the
duty on shoddy from 20 cents a pound
to 25 cents, and that on tops from s to
20 cents also prevailed, by AZ to 81.

London, June 10.-A formal invita-
ton from America to Great Britain to
participate in a naval review to be
held in San Francisco next October to
celebrate the rebuilding of the city af-
ter the earthquake of April, 1906, has
been presented. The question is one
for consideration by the cabinet, and
it probably will be several days before
an answer is received. There is much
likelihood of acceptance, as there is
strong friendly feeling in England.

Turkey Makes Strong Denial.

Washington, June 8.-Emphatic de-
nial was entered today at the Turkish
embassy to reports that 10000 or 30,-
900 persons had been killed in the re-
cent troubles in Asiatic-Turkey. 1t
was declared unusual efforts were be-
ing made to punish those responsible
for the disorders. Deep regret was
expressed that exaggerated reports
had been printed in certain newspapers
concerning the disorders. In contra
dction of the reports. it was stated in
the last official news that victims
would not exceed 1000. Not only had
the minister of the interior asked for
the appropriation of $4,000 to aid
the victims, it was stated, but the gov
ernment, on it's own responsibility, had
sent $40, 900 at once.

Thursday June 10.

Washington, June 10.-Time and time
again today Dolliver and others of the
so-called progressive Republicans went
down to defeat in their efforts to break
the ranks of the Aldrich forces on the
wool schedule of the tariff bill. Dolli-
yer offered numerous amendments look
ing to the reduction of the finance COM
mittee's rates, but in each instance the
amendment was voted down and the
committee sustained.
The debate throughout the day was
good-natured and Doliver seemed to
have real feeling over the possible
tears in the eyes of the Irish potato.
The wool schedule occupied the at
tention of the senate throughout the
entire day and on this account consid-
Grafton of the proposed income tax,
which had been set for today was post
poned until tomorrow.
