Washington, July 2o-The most bit
ter fight for legislation weRed by the
administration in several years closes
tomorrow when the Canadian reCi-
procity bill viii be passed by the SEN
ate. 1t is predicted tonight that sixty
out of total Of 81 senators will vote
in its favor. The measure has rot
been and undoubtedly viii not be
changed in any respect by the senate.
|, La Toilette today vigorously ar
raigned President Taft and the bill
He attacked the Democrats on the
ground that they are deliberately try
ing to carry the tariff over to the next
campaign for political purposes.
Assailing the press Of the United
States for its support of the Canadian
reciprocity bill, he expressed the belief
that newspapers would suffer loss in
influence for the support they have
given to legislation in which, he said,
they have a direct money interest"
The press has failed in it's duty to
the public in regard 10 this legislation, +"
he said.
Mr.. La Toilette referred to testimony
given before the finance committee of
the senate that newspapr orsaniza-
ton had sent out a communication to
many papers urging them to treat IA
vorably the reciprocity agreement. He
deplored this attitude Of the newE-
papers.
I'VE hRve senators on this floor who
are bankers," salG Senator La Toilette
senators who are wooden manufact
ers and cotton manufacturers, senators
who ere interested in lum Der and
mines. Let no newspaper hereafter
assail any senator because he supports
legislation in his own interest"
Senator La Toilette said that he did
not favor a duty on papef; that he was
| in favor of free print paper and would
approve 8 measure In that interest as
direct tariff measure. He objected to
the reciprocity bill. he said, because
the newspapers would get free paper
at the expense OF the farmers, whose
duties on their products would be re-
moved.
Chairman Penrose, of the senate f.
nance committee, today promised Pres
ident Taft to lay the bill with the ap-
proval of both the senate and house
on the presidents table by 2 O'clock to-
morrow afternoon, more then three
hours before the president plans to
leave Washington for E weekend stay
at Beverly. Senator Penrose said that
It might get through tomorrow morn
ing and then would be Immediately

MAN WANTS TO
WORSHIP ALONE
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, July 21.-New Orleans
police are on the lookout for a mys-
tertous and wary person who prefers
to enter st. Patrick's (Catholic) church
after the doors are locked, light the
candles on the altar and worship all by
himself. Four times within less than
q week Sexton Frank Benetz has been
surprised after he had made his last
rounds for the night to find the altar
candles ablaze. Last night the sexton
discovered the lights again and saw
the shadowy form of a man moving
about. disappearing before the police
arrived.
That the mysterious worshiper is not
bent on theft is the belief of Father
Raymond Cara, as seevral money

WAS KILLED BY
HER HUSBAND
COUSIN OF THE MURDERER CON-
FEssEs TO THE POLICE THAT
HE BOUGHT THE GUN WITH
WHICH THE MURDER WAS CON-
MITTED-WoMAN IN THE CASE.
BY Associated Preaa.

Richmond, Va, July 21.-The miss
ing link in the chain of evidence which
detectives have been forging in the
case of the murder of Mrs. Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., who was slain Tues
day night while automobiling five
miles from here, was supplied this af-
ternoon, when Paul Beattie, a cousin
OF Henry Beattie, the husband, made a
formal confession to the police that he
bought for and delivered to Henry
Beattie last Tuesday the gun used
with which Mrs. Beattie was killed.
Thereupon both men were arrested.
When arrested Henry Beattie exhibit
ed neither surprise nor emotion, and
was perfectly cool His cousin, when
arrested, fell dead in a faint and later
writhed in convulsions. He was taken
to the city home for medical treat
ment. Henry Beattie was brought to
the city jail.
One witness at the inquest today
was Beulah Binford, the woman in the
case, who told a story of her former
alleged intimacy with Henry Beattie,
Jr., of the birth and death of a child
of which she said Beattie was the
father. and of the resumption Of their
relations after Mrs. Beattie discovered
she was to become a mother.
Beattie was the first witness heard
The line of questioning indicated a
belief by the state authorities that his
wife was killed in the road, when a
large bloodstain was found, instead OF
in the automobile. Inquiry for the
clothing worn by Mrs Beattie brought
out the fact that it had been burned
by her family, who, it was explained
wished to destroy a gruesome re-
minder of the tragedy.
The inquest was delayed while the
police authorities conferred about this,
and was further deyaled while the
elder Beattie and his sons counsel
were driven to the scene of the muir
der, so that the lawyer could satisfy
himself as to the position of the blood
stained earth.
Beattie was closely questioned, his
counsel throwing down all barriers by
declaring the young man was well
aware he was under suspicion and was
ready to maintain his innocence:

New York, July 20.-The y.yrerican
Sugar Refining Company contributed
$4,000 to help Benjamin Harrison in
one Of his campaigns for the presi-
dency over Grover Cleveland. The
contribution was told Of today ty John
E. Parsons, former attorney of the
company, in his testimony before the
congressional committee investigating
the sugar trust. He did not remember
whether 1t was the first or second Har
rtson campaign
Parsons frankly boasted that he was
the pioneer in the formation Of the
American trust" and was proud OF it,
but secuted the idea that the sugar
IT Ist constituted a monopoly such as
the Standard Oil and tobacco com
panies.
The committee spent the afternoon
visiting several refineries in this vi
cinity and held informal conferences
with the superintendents, but took nc
testimony.
DECLARATIONS OF PARSONS.
Wrongs manifest in the manage
ment of great corporations will right
themselves"
IF there is too much water in the
stock of a corporation, that will take
care of itself"
There should be no limit to capi-
talization so long as 1t is not injurious
or fraudulent"
THE government in equity cannot
interfere in private affairs
These are some of the declarations
of John z. Parsons, self styled pioneer
in the organization of American trusts
which he made today in reply to
queries.
Most of the statements were made ir
answer to the question Of Congressman
Asher Kinds, who queried: What
would you suggest that a government
do to prevent great combinations OF
capital from tremendous extrava-
gances?"
Mr.. Parsons answered this question
and declared he was proud of his po-
sition as pioneer in the formation OF
the first American trust.
Mr.. Parsons repudiated the many
statements which have been made that
H. o. Havemeyer was the one power in
the sugar trust and that the board OF
directors always did as he bade.
Representative Madison read into the
record that after the American had
abandoned the Philadelphia refineries
there were three independent rehneries
In New York.
"Who organized those three re-
fineries into the National Refinery
Company" was asked Mr.. Parsons.
Mr.. Havemeyer planned it, 1 be-
lieve."
And did not the American later ac-
quire its preferred stock, or a ma
iority OF it?"
IT believe So"
The American did not acquire any
Of the Nationals $4,000, 900 Of com
mon stock?"
NO. Mr.. Havemeyer acquired pos

stock"
You were to get some OF this com
mon stock?"
Yes. Mr.. Havemeyer promised tc

Washington, July 21.-Senator Pen
rose, Of Pennsylvania, today brought
JOY to Lorimer and Hines followers
when he told the senate Lorimer COM
mittee of the part he took In the elec-
tion of Lorimer. They claimed he SUBJ
stantiated the testimony given by Ed
ward Hines as to Penrose's desire to
have Hines use his influence in Lori
mer's election.
Beside his story the days testimony
brought out that the office of secre-
tary of state in New York had asked
$1,000 for a certified copy of contribu-
tors to the Republican national cam
paign fund in 1908. The list was de-
sired to show whether Cyrus Nc
Cormick was among the contributors.
Hines laid before the committee what
he said was a telegram he received in
regard to the matter signed Jas. j.
Neville, secretary in the state Office"
The letter mentioned several days
ago as having been sent by William
Burgess, of Duluth, to w. H. Kohlsaat,
Of Chicago, regarding the Lorimer
matter, was read. Among other things
Burgess said he understood a man in
Duluth was in Illness Office when
Hines received the telegram from Taft
asking him to have the matter hush
ed up as quickly as possible"
Penrose admitted he had inquired of
Hines If Albert ]. Hopkins could be re-
elected, explaining that because of his
acquaintance with Hopkins he hoped
to see him return. When Hines told
him 1t seemed Hopkins could not be
returned, Penrose that he did not know
Lorimer, and had never seen him, but
he knew he was competent man and
leader, so he urged Hines, as a citizen
of Illinois, to gdo what he could to
bring about the election and support
Of Lorimer.
Penrose declared that he believed
Hines in his activities was not prompt
lumber Bchedule, but from the pa
trfotic motive of having the senate seat
filed.
Several persons In Illness ONCE tes-
titled that to their knowledge Hines
was not in Chicago in February, 1909,
when Clarence S. Funk says Hines
came to his office to refresh his recol-
lection as to the famous Union League
club conversation about the Lorimer
fund.
Witness wiehe declared that one OF
the reasons why he asked r. J.
Shields, the affidavit collector of Su-
perior, Wis, to meet him in Chicago
about ten days ago was to discuss
sending him to Albany, N. Y.
Wiehe explained that the Hines COM
pany desired to ascertain II Cyrus Nc
Cormick contributed anything to the
Taft campaign in 1908, and that he
had been advised the list of con-
tributors was on file with the secre-
tary of state at Albany.
''I had wired the secretary Of state
and had gotten a reply that the list
was destroyed, only being retained for
fifteen months" said the witness
"Since coming here 1 have received q
wire from Albany saying the list would
be furnished for $1,000"
wiehe did not think the charge was
solely for copying the 12S pages OF
contributions.
"Do you mean to say they are 12S
pages of contributions to the Taft cam
paign fund.-" asked Senator Kern, late
vice presidential candidate on the
ticket opposed to Taft.
''Yes. sir" replied the witness.
'T see how it happened them" re-
sponded the defeated candidate.
