that he was taking too much part In

any president asserts his legislative

the legislative branch of the govern
ment for some reason or other, has
been a disappointment to the people
who own the government. The peo-

pointment, upon the force, chara cter

Washington, July 19.-Repeated ef-
forts were made today by the senate
Lorimer committee to ascertain the
truth about the much disputed con-
versation on the Winnipeg flyer"
running out of Duluth, Minn., last
March when G. F. Wiche, secretary of
the Edward Hines Lumber company
Is said to have remarked that he sub
scribed $4,000 to the Lorimer elec-
tion fund.
B. A. johnson, until recently gen.
eral staff representative Of the Ameri-
can Lumberman. was cross-examined
as to his testimony yesterday in
which he denied that Wiche made
such statement.
In so doing he disregarded the tes-
timony of William Burgess. the Du-
luth business man.
Senator Fletcher called attention to
the testimony Of Burgess that he,
Wiehe and the young Canadian" were
In the smoker wher Wiehe made the
remark. Johnson had said he was in
the smoker practically all the time
Wiehe was there. Johnson said he
could not altogether reconcile his tes-
timony with that Of Burgess. The
witness said Wiehe might have re-
turned to the smoker after he had
followed him out.
Didn't Hear It
John B. Price, q lumber man Of
Seattle, Wash, son Of ]. H. Price,
former secretary Of state of Wash
ington, testified that he was in the
smoker during the alleged converse
ton. He said he did not hear Wiehe
or any one else say anything about
the Lorimer election.
Contradictions Muddle.
More contradiction in the testimony
before the senate Lorimer committee
yesterday bemuddled the Lorimer in
vestigation FAR worse than at any
time since the new inquiry began. All
four Of today's witnesses fatty con-
tradicted important testimony previ-
ously given to the committee.
Charles MCGOWAN, young Cana
dian contractor, declared that c. F.
Wiehe. secretary Of the Edward Hines
Lumber company did not remark on
the Winnipeg flyer" on the way
from Duluth to Virginia, Minn.. in
March 1911, that there was a jackpot
raised to elect Lorimer and that he
subscribed $4,000 to It, William H.
Burgess testified yesterday that
Wiehe did make this remark In the
presence of himself and "a young
Canadian" to which description Nc
Gowan corresponded.
B. A. johnson of Chicago, until

tive Of the American Lumberman,
testified positively that Wiehe made
no such statement.

The depletion caused by the settlers
would not be so noticeable, but when
1t comes to having professionals

There Is No Dearth of Men
Ready to Take Miller's Job

st. Paul. MINI, July 19-Rumors
that Congressman G. B. Miller of Du-
luth will retire at the end Of his
present term are brought to st. Paul
by several Eighth district politicians
who say the rumor is not new, but
that 1t has been revived and reiter-
ated since the news was published
OF Mr.. Miller's matrimonial troubles.
It is said that the Duluth represep-
tative has contemplated this move for
some time as he has discovered that
there is more profit in good law
practice than in making laws. Mr..
Miller had proftabl~ practice before
he broke into politics, and it is said
he found that after paying campaign
expenses and with the high cost Of
living at the national capital, the net
return from q congressman's salary
is not as big as it might look to an
outsider.
No Lack of Candidates
In case of Miller's retirement, there
will be no lack of candidates for the
Job. One Of the most prominently
mentioned is James p. Boyle Of
Eveleth. member Of the state SEN
ate. Boyle won a reputation In the
senate as forceful speaker, and 1t
was generally understood that he had
his eyes on Miller's job. Boyle has
two years left of his term in the sem
ate. however, and his plans were to
finish that before trying anything
else. Should Miller retire now, he
may change his plans.
J. Adam Bede. Miller's predecessor,
may try for the job again, it is said,
and Alex Mcknight Of Duluth who
ran against Miller for the Republican
nomination In 1910. also may make
another try. They will probably not

Washington. July 19.-The center
Of the United States is four and one
quarter miles south of Unionville,
Monroe county, Indiana, according to
cencus bureau announcement.
Since 1900. when it was six miles
southwest Of Columbus, Ind, it has
moved thirty-one miles westward and
seven-tenths Of "a mile northward.
The westward i16 ,ssncnt was more
than twice thate,of the. 1s90-1S00 de-
cade. This ecceleration OF the west

sus officials principally to the growth
Of the Pacific and southwestern
states.
The geographical center Of the
United States is in northern Kansas
so that the center of population,
therefore, is about $50 miles east Of
the geographical center of the coun-
