SIR WILFRID LAURIER
ADVOCATES RECIPROCITY
Issues Open Address to Canadian
PeopA Explaining Its Advantages.

Ottawa, Ont, July 3o.-The opening
gun in the campaign which will deter
mine the fate of the reciprocity pact
between the United States and Canada
was fired today by the liberal leader,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It was in the
form of an open address to the Canad-
ian people and in it set forth very
clearly the issues involved in the pres
ent campaign.
The question at issue is not a new
one, Sir Wilfrid asserts, reciprocal re-
lations with the United States having
been sought by both parties for over
half a century. The present conserv-
ative party, he declared, is seeking to
reverse this lifelong policy Of it's lead
ers of the past. The enactment of the
agreement the premier predicts, would
further improve the friendly relations
existing between Great Britain, Can
ada and the United States and would
be an important factor in bringing
about a general treaty of arbitration.
The address declares there is no
warrant for the claim that reciprocity
will lead to annexation and states Can
ada will continue the policy of British
preference.

for His Testimony.

New York, July 30-It was made
known here tonight at the headquar-
ters of the house of representatives

States Steel corporation, that the COM
mittee is now very desirous of hear
ing personally from J. P. Morgan with

poena will be issued within few DAYS
for Charles M. Schwab, former presi-
dent of the United States Steel cor
poration, was also revealed. Mr..
Schwab has just returned from Europe.
Strong Defenees Of Morgan.
Since so many important witnesses
have defended Mr.. Morgan for his part
in the negotiations which led to the
consummation of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron requirement by the steel COR
poratfon, that the desire Of Represen-
tative Stanley, chairman, and other
members of the committee, to hear Mr..
Morgan, has increased. Lewis Cass
Ledyard, attorney for Oliver Payne,
who first urged that Mr.. Morgan be
called in to suggest the Tennessee pur-
chase by the steel trust, vigorously de-
Tended Mr.. Morgan before the commit
tee yesterday and denounced intima-
tions that conspiracy existed at that
time. Mr.. Ledyard alse limited in his
testimony that an effort was being
made in the investigation to manufac-
ture political capital.
Morgan Now in Europe.
''The best man to defend J. Pierpont
Morgan for his part In the Tennessee
Coal and Iron transaction" said Chair
man Stanley today. 'fs Mr.. Morgan
himself. We sincerely hope that Mr.
Morgan's engagements In Europe will
not deter him from appearing before
this committee ere the investigation is
concluded. Mr.. Morgan's own story Of
that transaction and the momentous
events at the time OF that financial
panic and the effect Of the steel stock
transfer in the midst of 1t are certain
to be of great value,

Effort to Put
Taft in Hole
PURPOSE OF DEMOCRATIC TAR
IFF PROGRAMME.
WOOL BILL WILL BE VETOED
President Not Likely to Approve Any
Tariff Legislation at This Session
y. Pierpont Morgan as Witness.

washington, July 30.-Genera1 tarifr
legislation at this session of con-
gress. so as to place the responsibility
Tor the delay in tariff revision upon
ocratic- progressive republican coalition
in the senate and the democrats in the
house.
Likely to Veto Every Tariff Bill.
The president is credited TODAY with
being as determined as ever to veto
any tariff bill passed by congress prior
to the submission of the report of the
tariff board to congress at the regular
session in December Meantime the
democrats, continuing to press their
revision measures, are wondering what
the president will do when the wool
bill, emerging from conference with
lower duties than the LaFollette COM
promise, goes to the White house for
approval or veto.
Some Democrats Look for Approval.
1t is the most remarkable situation
with respect to tariff legislation that
has arisen in long time Despite the
apparanetly authoritative decIara-
t1ons that the president will refuse
to approvef the tariff bills, some Of
the democrats, even Speaker Clark,
still express the opinion that he may
yet approve revision legislation.
Democratic Leaders Encourages.
The democratic leaders, encouraged
By the effective results of the connbi-
nation of their party with the insur-
gent republicans in the senate are be-
coming more confident that the tariff
schedules passed by the house will 90
through the senate in some form.
The Congressional Status.
This is the way the legislative out
look stands today:
The wool tariff revision will be in
conference early in the week.
A compromise measure on the basis
of thirty per cent ad valorem on wool
will be reported probably. The COM
bined emocratic-insurgent republican
forces are confident it will run the
gauntlet of both houses and be the first
revision measure to go 20 the president
to test his disposition of the veto
| power.
Farmers Free List Bill Tomorrow.
| The farmers free-list bilT' will be
voted on Tuesday in the senate, under
agreement
| Coalition senators and house demo-
Gratis express certainty of its passage.
| There will be senate democratic
caucus on the bill tomorrow, however
| to insure it's passage. AS the bill comes
up for vote Immediately after morning
business Tuesday, the only opportunity
for debate will be tomorrow.

VETO OF WOOL BILL MAY
CAUSE A PARTY BREACH
Taft Bound to Split G. o. p. Whatever
Course He Takes.
Especial to The Bulletin.) }

Washington, July 30.-Informal con-
ferences and discussions over the tariff
situation in congress which have been
going on since the unexpected passage
of the wool bill last Thursday, seem to
leave little doubt that bill of some
sort will be agreed on in conference,
and that President Taft will have to
sign or veto it.
The indica tions are that the senate
will pass the free-list bill on Tuesday,
with amendments striking out the pro-
visions for free meats and free flour
and maybe modifying it to benefit the
farmer in other particulars Indica-
tlons, too, are that the senate will pass
q cotton bill after it has disposed of
the free-list bill. 1t is said that ef-
forts will be made to add bills revis-
ing the sugar and steel schedules to
the cotton bill. How far the democrats
will go in passing tariff bills will be
uncertain until the house democrats
go into another caucus. In spite of
the strong revolt against the idea of
stopping with tariff revision now, it
is predicted that Chairman Underwood
will have his way and prevent gen.
eral tariff revision, and that congress
will adjourn about the middle of Au-
gust
The house democrats say that they
have done enough and have made a
good showing and are using the argu-
ment that the country is tired and
wants congress to adjourn.
The prevailing talk now is for COM
promise wool bill on the basis of about
30 per cent. duty on raw wool, but
to this there is considerable democratic
opposition.
1t is freely admitted that the situa-
ton that confronts the president is one
of considerable moment to the repub-
lican party. If he signs the wool bill
he will throw chill over the hearts
of the Old Guard. If he does not sign
it, he will antagonize that numerous
parsonage, the ultimate consumer.
The Old Guard are telling him the
thing to do is to veto it; but it is said
that If he does it will cause an ire
nara hle breach in the marty.

CANADIAN FLAGSHIP SAVED.
Her Hull Pierced on Lodges and Two
Boatloads Left the VESSEL

Halifax. N. S.. July 30.-The protect
ed cruiser Niobe flagship of the Cana
dian navy, was.saved to the Dominion ;
young sea strength after being impaled
for five hours on the southwest ledges
of Cape Sable early today. Her hull
was pierced in several places, the star
board engine room swamped with
water and other com partments flooded.
No lives were lost.
Heavy Fog and Gale.
1t is possible that the cause of the
accident will not be disclosed until it
is brought out at an official marine in
u1tiry which is certain to follow. 1t is
kfIown that a heavy fog enshrouded
tys coast, and it is also said that A
feavy southeast gale was blowing.
Commander Macdonald and the other
officers of the Niobe were non-com-
municative tonight when queried by
wireless for statement as to the
cause of the stranding.
Sixteen Left in Two Boats.
Sixteen men of the crew who left
the cruiser in two boats were the
cause of much anxiety for many hours
after the accident, as they were lost In
the fog and at the mercy of the gale
and strong tide which it was feared
would wreck them on one of the many
ledges which abound about Cape Sable.
But it was learned by wireless tonight
that all had rejoined their ship. They
went back to the cruiser in -one bo 1T.
The other apparently having been
wrecked as was feared.
Looked Serious at First.
So extreme was considered the plight
of the Niobe when she first grounded
that Commander Macdonald had or
dered all boats cleared away ready for
abandonment Of the vessel if lneces-
sary. The two boats which were lost
for a time with their crews were the
first over the side, general launching
of the boats having been deferred until
q definite idea Of the condition of the
EaDseI had been gained.
