mot OODGING THE ISSUE
Harvey GOulder, Former President
of the Merchant Marine League,
Perfectly Frank in Testimony.

Washington, April 12.-"You lodged
to avoid going back on your associates
Of the Merchant Marine league of the
United States was the thrust passed
to Harvey D. Goulder of Cleveland,
Ohio, former president of that organi-
cation, by J. H. RalstOn, attorney for
Representative Stevenson, at today's
session of the ship subsidy investiga-
ton.
Mr.. Goulder denied the statement
and said he had been entirely frank in
his testimony.
Mr.. Goulder. William Livingston of
Detroit and Joseph Stewart, second as
sistant postmaster general, We're to-
days witnesses at the inquiry into the
charges that the league had reflected
upon the integrity of Mr.. Stevenson
and other members of Congress in con-
nectiOn with ship subsidy legislation.
Mr.. GOulder testified he had endorsed
a note for $1,000, which he had placed
in a bank to the credit of the league;
that he did not know the source of the
note. whether it came from member
ship dues or from the officers of the
league themselves. His memory was
hazy, but he thought the note might
have been put in the bank to antici-
pate the membership dues, so as to
have credit to meet expenses.
The officers and members Of the
league, Mr.. GouldeT insisted, in urging
legislation for the encouragement of
the merchant marine. were actuated by
patriotic motiy es, that so far as he
knew none of the officers expected any
direct personal benefit from the pas
sage OF the ship subsidy bill, and that
Mr.. Steenerson's statement to the con-
trary was untrue

Bill introduced in Canadian

Object Is Not to Do Away
With Trusts or COmbina-

People Share in the Profits,
SCOPE OF THE MEASURE

OTTAWA April 12-ReguIation of
~ trusts is the object of a govern
ment bill which Mackenzie King,
minister of labor, offered today for
adoption by abe Canadian parliament.
The bill provides where eOmDIaint L.

Tor restraint of trade. commission
shiii be appointed with power TO make
a thorough investfgs ton
There will be three commissioners.

the complaint, one by the trust COM
planned against, while the third, who
is to be the chairman, must be a judge
of a superior court
If 1t is found the complaint is justi-
fled, the commission shall advise meas
ures TO correct the abuses, or they may
advise that the tariff protection on
the articles produced by the trust be
revoked. If the trust does not obey
the finding by the commission. it shall
be fined a thousand dollars a day until
it Obeys
In urging approval of the bill. Mr..
King said its object was not to da
away with trusts and combinations.
A lesson had been taken from the ex-
periences Of the United states. as il
had been found impossible to enforce
the Sherman law without destroying
business.
The purpose of the Canadian bill,
Mr. King continued, was to insure the
people share in the benefits result
ing from combinations. and to see that
the trusts did not take advantage of
their control of lines of production i'm
properly to raise prices.

INSURGENTS MAY
co AFTER CANNON
Defiance Hurled by the Speak
err Cause of Much Comment
in Washington.

Washington, April 12.-Speaker Can
mons challenge to the Republican in
surgents of the House in his speech on
the floor yesterday, when he abruptly
told them that unless they had the
courage TO combine with the Demo-
Gratis and vote to vacate the chair, he
would remain speaker until March 4,
1911, brought expressions from the in
surgent leaders today in no uncertain
tones.
THE speaker can continue to make
these irritating defis," said Represen-
tative Murdoch of Kansas, until after
the administration legislation is dis
posed of. He knows he is perfectly
safe just now. But after We have
passed the important legislation on
hand his case will be attended to. A
man can't continue to make large
bluffs without eventually being called.
Representative Poindexter of Wash
ingtOn, another insurgent who, with
Murdoch, voted some weeks ago in ia
vOr of the Burleson resolution TO de-
pose Speaker Cannon was equally
caustic
"Cannon's action is foolish" he said
He is sitting on a powder mill and it
seems to be a pretty reckless perform
anCe for him 10 keep on striking
matches ali around the place. He will
touch this thing off some day and he
will find himself going up through the
dome of the capitol.
The speaker cannot eliminate the is
sue of Cannonism by constantly parad-
ing il in the House. The issue is not
an incidental or personal one, but is
fundamental. and there can be no har-
mony until il is finally disposed of and
disposed of in the right way. CannOns
speech of yesterday was not a particu-
larry fine effort at harmonizing the
party"
There were many informal confer
ences among the insurgent members
during the day. Some were disposed to
take action for the deposition of the
speaker without further delay, but the
greater number counseled that nothing
drastic should be done until after the
administrations measures were out of
the House.
Many Democrats also discussed the
situation. There was nothing to indi-
cate that the members of the minority
had changed their minds since they
voted solidly three weeks ago to depOse
Speaker Cannon. although the opinion
was advanced by some that il might be
desirable from a purely partisan stand
point to allow the issue of Cannon
ism" to remain in its present status
throughout the coming campaign.

CLAIMANT BARRED
BY PROBATE COURT
North Dakota M Not Entitled
to q Share il Russell
Estate.

Cambridge, Mass, April 12.-Judge
George F. Lawton in the probate court
here today branded as an imposter the
Dickinson, n. D., claimant to half the
estate of Daniel Russell of Melrose and
dismissed the case brought by the al
legged Daniel Blake Russell, after d
record breaking trial of 1874 days.
4 have just now begun TO fight" de-
clared state Senator L. A Simpson of
North Dakota, counsel for the Dickin-
son man, when asked if an appeal
would be taken to a higher court.
The reading OF Judge Lawton's de-
eision occupied an hour and a half.
The decision was greeted with murmurs
of dissent, which caused the officers to
clear the court room.
after all these months of evidence, .
said the judge, I conclude this vast
conspiracy which was alleged to have
been arranged and which embraced the
stealing of postoffice stamps, forging
of letters, subordination of perjury ana
Osher similar crimes, to be without
foundation and it vanishes in thin air.
II had its origin in the romantic mag
nation of the counsel for the petitioner
and has no foundation. Professional
detectives have collected evidence
which must be regarded as true The
photographs purp0rted to be those OF
Thomas J. ROsseur of Massen. n. Y.
must also be regarded as genuine.
Neither the respondents Of. C. Almy
and William c. RusselD nor their coun-
sci have been anything except honest in
their defense of the Russell estate
against an imposter and a dishonest
claimant. And. finally. I find that none
of three petitions now before this court
were brought by Daniel Blake Russell.
but by one who attempted to imperson-
ate him. and defraud the Russell es-
tate. The petitions are therefore dis
missed"
Senator Simpson will have sixty DAYS
to file petition for an appeal, which,
N allowed, will bring the case before
the supreme court and a trial before a
jury probably next fall
Meanwhile it is expected the claim
ant from Fresno, Cal, will file his ne
tition in the probate court, and II is
possible it may reach a hearing at the
end of six months.

COOKS YARN EXPLODED
Mount Mckinley Assembled by Party
of Alaskans, but No Records
Found at the Top.

Fairbanks. Alaska. April 12.-The
Fairbanks expedition to Mount McKin-
lev. the tallest peak in North America,
reached the summit April 3, after
climb of one month from the base. No
traces of DIT. Frederick A. Cooks al
legged ascent were found.
Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expedi-
ton, arrived here last. night. His COM
panions were Daniel Patterson, w. II.
Taylor and Charles McGonnigle. and
all reached the top of the great noun
tain.
The expedition, which left Fairbanks
December Is, while the controversy
over Dr. Cooks disputed ascent was
still raging, was financed by Gus
Peterson and William McPhee of this
city. The plan was to go into camp
on the mountain as high as possible,
and probably, about the middle of May,
make a dash for the summit.
The obstacles encountered were not
so great as had been predicted.
Four camps were established during
the ascent and trail was blazed all
the way to the crest. Up TO 1900 feet
the climbing did not present unusual
difficulties. For the next 1000 feet the
way led over q steep ice field, which at
first seemed to forbid further progress,
but through which, upon exploration, it
was found possible to locate a path.
The final dash to the top was made
from the 16,000-foot camp.
Mount Mckinley terminates In Twin
Peaks OF equal height, one somewhat
rounded and covered with snow, the
other composed of bare and wind-swept
rocks. On the rock peak the Fairbanks
climbers placed an American flag In a
monument of stones.

with DR.. Cooks maps and book. en-
deavored to follow his alleged route,
but utterly failed to verify any .part of
bis story Of an ascent

Mr.. Roosevelt evidently is rot greatly
exercised over conclusions that may be
drawn in the United States from the
announcement made today that he had
accepted an Invitation from the former
chief forester to address the National
Conservation congress this summer.
MY actions are frequently misun-
derstOod," he said, speaking Of the mat
ter this evening. Mr.. Roosevelt then
explained that very naturally his In
terest in the conservation movement
had in no wise been dampered by the
trouble that has occurred in the de-
partment. He said he would have at
tended the congress regardless Of what
had happened during his absence ana
that in his address he would not nee
essarily speak of the past, but OF the
future.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt dined alone
with Miss Carew at the Carew viva.
and spent g quiet evening. Ker nit,
with several friends, took motor trip
along the coast, extending the journey
beyond the French frontier to Monte

MAY MEAN MONARCHY
BEFORE MANY YEARS
Strong Speech of William A. Hotch-
kiss on Corruption in
High Places.

Utica, n. Y, April 12.-"The present
distrust of popular representation in
legislative bodies means sooner or later
a practical despotism." declared Will
liam A. Hotchkiss, state superintendent
Of insurance in a speech at the annual
banquet of the Oneida County Republi-
can league here today.
Through what a period we have
been passing" said Mr.. HOtchkiss. I'm
til recent years considerations on the
side seem to have been smiled at by
the cynical; the boasts of some of these
men in the back room talks led toward
several disclosures in the inquiry now
closing.
What an atmosphere was that of
the capital city, where graft has been
subject for joking and the distrib-
utors of it honOred in song. Each de-
cade of late has seen the executive
grow stronger. the legislative weaker
each decade the people have became
more satisfied to trust man, not
merely to execute, but even at times to
make the laws. The current just now
is stronger than ever before.
Impressed by the corrupt practices
of the few, the plain people are begin
ming to doubt the reliability of the leg
islative branch. Stories from Missis-
sippi vie in lurid vigor with those from
Pittsburg; tales of New Jersey of late
cast in the shadow the daily tales
about New York. The present distrust
of popular representation in city coun-
els, in state legislature. yes, even in
the federal congress means sooner or
later q practical despotism, chieftain-
ship, which, while still elective has in
it all CT the dangers against which our
fathers fought
God forbid that the foundations of
representative government should thus
be weakened
And so, 1 take it, our governor was
looking far into the future when he
asked a thorough and unsparing in
vestigation into legislative processes
and procedure"
