Elizabeth. n. Y. June 7.-Represen-
tatiye Murdoch Of Kansas retorted to
Speaker Cannonis assertion that
shooting was too good for the insur-
gents and that they ought to be
hanged as traitors, with the counter
charge last night that the speaker for
years has been playing in the dark
with TammanW HaAa.
Mn Murdoch was speaking at a
mass meeting held within the shadow
of Senator Keane's house to boom
the senator's rival, Representative
Fowler, for the senator's place, when
his term expires. Discussing the
speakers recent attack ON the insur
gents, he, saidl::
N'SOme of the speakers friends have
tried to excuse his utterancs on the
ground that they were only post
prandial oratory.. differe with them
They were the deliberate utterances
of a man whose mind was filled with
hate for those who refused to bend
their knees TO him.
For twenty-five years Cannon has
covered his delinquencies by cunning
He has played in the dark with Tam
many. Every heart throb of his is In
response to the impulses of an arts
tocrat. He has blocked the way tc
light and liberty and he is the anon
afy i'm history of this democracy"
Representative Norris of Nebraska
followed Mr.. Murdoch. His speech
was full of denunciation for the ''iror
duke of American politics."

various parts of the country and ask,
ing those who hear of the plan being
worked to report to him.
Mr.. CranefieIds Letter.
We have reason to believe that a
clever nursery swindle is about to be
started in this state, if not already
begun, and the assistance of every
member is needed to catch the swind.
lers and put them out of business.
Their scheme will probably be some
thing as follows: Trees will be Of
fered for sale which are guaranteed
to be free from dangerous disease
known as "Blackheart'' and a clip
ping will be shown, probably from
your home paper in which appears a
statement from one representing him
self as assistant United States for
ester regarding this fictitious disease.
II any agent or solicitor appears
making such representations take
careful note of his statements and
kindly report at once to this Office,
using enclosed card, telegraph or tel
ephone. | have positive proof that
no such person is connected with the
forest service at Washington or any
other bureau OF the department of ag-
riculture.
Please watch for the "blackheart"
tree age get him to make definite
statements Id then notify me at
once. He is also badly wanted at
Washington and if you hear of him
notify the forest service. Washington,

Lemm said he had been in the
business in Pekin since 1883, that
there had not been session of the
Legislative assembly in which the fish
dealers had not put up" money to /,
fight legislation opposed to their in.
tersts. He said the past session cost :
them the most. He said he then put
up $iGO.
He declared that until the death of
Captain Schultz, of Havana, last year,
Schultz was collector of this fund,
but he had been succeeded by john.
Dixon, of Peoria
He said that while the fish bill was,
on the first reading in the Legislature,
he went to Hot Springs on May 2.
1909. Before he left Lemm said he,
told Dixon to do what he could to.
defeat the bill, that he would stand
his share of the expense. Lemm, de-
MED that he was a partner of Dixon
but both hold stock in the Havana
Fish company. Before leaving. Lemm
said he told Ralph o. Lord. his, book
keeper, formerly of Springfield: that
he expected Dixon to- call for. q, con-

any amount he asked for. AT first
he said he did not know the amount
Lord gave Dixon, but later remem-
bered that the amount was $500; this
being borne out by letter which
Lord wrote Lemm telling: chat the

Low PRICES RULE AND MARKET
BoRDERED ON COMPLETE
DECENTRALIZATION
CROP PROSPECTS CONSIDERED
sATtsFAcToRY-LoNDoN
BUYS HEAVILY.

New York. June 7-They had an.
almost hysterical time on the stock
exchange Saturday and there were
periods when the market bordered on
complete decentralization. With a
few exceptions the lowest prices of
the year were recorded and trading
for the day was in excess of 10000
shares, the largest days business in
months. Included in the heavy SELL
ing were many specialties offered at
marked recessions, while at times
the standard issues seemed thrown
over for what they would bring.
The movement was precipitated by
an enormous liquidation, aided by
persistent short selling. Rallies were
out of all proportion to the decline;
and the absence of substantial sup
port in such issues as Union Pacific,
st. Paul and steel perhaps were the
most dfsquieting feature.
Wall street was alive with rumors
and reports. ranging from gossip OF
the political situation at Washington
to all sorts of forebodings regarding
the country's state of trade and COM
meree. Railroad heads were quoted
in gloomy terms as predicting sharp
retrenchment and rigid economy in
view of the administration attitude
towards increased rates.
President Brown of the New York
Central was quoted as saying that the
credit of the railroads las been al
most totally destroyed by this action
crate injunction) and it will be almost
impossible for any railroad to secure
Dan here or abroad" He was
quoted as saying that $10,OOO,O00' of
New York Central bonds had been
sold in Franace at SS14 cents ON the
dollar Almost at the same time. Al
bert Fl. Harris, general counsel for
the New York Central, was quoted, on
his arrival home from France as ex-
pressing great satisfaction with the
successful sale of $10,000,000 of Cleve-
land Cincinnati, Chicago and st.

to the French at 81. So far as
learned, the two references were to
the same transaction and the discren
ancy in the matter went unexplained
Crop prospects were considered
highly satisfactory and money at this
center remains easy, but the financial
district, nevertheless, was inclined to
take a pessimistic view of general
business conditions. 1t was also ar
gued by many that the steel and iron
industry shows signs of arrested de.
velopment.
Yesterdays heaviest losses in act
i've issues were:
Union Pacific SIX; Southern Pacific

vile 81; st. Paul 81; Northern Pa
cific 3as; United States Steel 3h /;
Amalgamated Copper 81; CONSOLE
dated Gas 5; American Locomotive 4;
American Car and Foundry Az.
Elsewhere in railway and industrial
groups losses of two to three points
were general. London was a heavy
buyer during the early session, but is
reported to have reversed it's position
later. selling heavily of Hartman Is
sues and steel.

Washington, june 4.-By complet-
ing the sundry civil appropriation bill
today, and passing it, the house made
way for the postal savings bank bill
This bill is to be taken up next
week under the new rule which will
facilitate action and limit amend
Haents. The house committee on
rules will meet Tuesday to draw up
the rules. 1t is probable that general
debate on the bill will be restricted to
three Or four hours and that the bill
VIII then be considered for one hour
under the five-minute rule. Amend
ments to perfect the phraseology of
the bill will be al that is permitted.
Little difficulty is expected in get

Washington, June THE senate
passed the administration railroad
bill at 9:55 o'clock Friday. 1t has
been under consideration more than
II hours Only II votes, all demo-
Gratis, were recorded against the bill.
The practical unanimity was due to
radical changes made from the form
in which it was drafted by the at
torney general, following numerous
conferences at the white house. All
the insurgents who opposed many
features of the original bill voted for
it.
Through the elimination of the pool
ing and merger sections and by rea-
son of the adoption of many amend
ments in the interest of shippers, the
progressive republicans claimed a
signal victory and most of the demo
Gratis expressed themselves as favor
able to large portion of the meas
ure.
Had it not been for the retention of
sections, relating to the court of com
merce, it is likely the vote would have
been unanimous The bill was
passed so to r.

How They Voted.

How They Voted
No republican voted against it and
six democrats voted for it.
They were Chamberlain, Clay, Gore.
Painter, Simmons, Stone. The demo
Gratis against it were, Bacon, Fetch
or, Frazier, Hughes, Money, Newlands,
Percy, Purcell, Rayner, Shively,
Smith of Maryland and Smith of
South Carolina.
Just before the voting began Mr..
La Toilette served notice that unless
the senate conferees made a deter
mined fight for the retention of the
amendments procured by progress
sives and democrats, 1t could not
hope to approve the conference re-
port
The new law is to be in effect in so
days from the date it is approved by
the president.
Earlier In the day Mr.. La Toilette
presented a number of amendments
most of them being beaten. One,
provided that no person inter
ested in railroad shall be appointed
to membership on the court of com.
merce, and substituted the supreme
court as body for the chief Justice
In performing the duty of designating
judges for service in the new court
1t aroused sharp criticism from sev.
erai senators who saw a reflection
on the chief justice. His amendment
providing for fuller equipment of the
commerce commission by the crea-
ton OF four districts to be presided
over by a commission of three was
beaten as was one to prohibit the con-
tinuous service of train employees for
more than IA hours. Another of his
amendments permitting railroads to
issue passes to widows and minor
children of employees killed in the
line of service was accepted.
Mr. Bacon then moved to strike ont
the sections for the court OF com.
