tier said that a few minutes after Lori
mer was elected he saw Hines leave
the phone In the Union League Club.
Hines looked happy, and said;
mmighty happy. Do you want me
tor? It's Lorimer,t and l did nlt-I per-
sonally elected him."
Hines was SO enthusiastic that Hettler
could barely get away from him.
Asked by Mr.. Marble about this Hett-
let story Hines promptly added Hett-
Ter to the fast-lengthening roll of the
Hines Ananias Club. That organization
is now estimated to be nearly as big
and notable as the original Ananias
Club founded by Colonel Roosevelt.
Funk said he didn't do any more
than to tell Hettler that Lorimer was
elected. He didn't claim to have been
responsible for 1t. ...
II didn't feel that ! had had much
to do with IL. / had borne a message
from Washington, but didn't even
know how much effect 1t had"
Ready Explains.
Hines Ananias Club is unlike that
Of Colonel Roosevelt in one important
respect. When Hines and somebody
else disagree Hines seems always
ready to show that the other man is
an old enemy, lying about him out
VI iHduce.
This was his explanation of the testi-
mony Of Funk and that of Cook. It
proved to he his explanation of the tes-
timony Of Hettler. He said Hettler was
q lumber dealer. as was his father be-
fore him. When the Hines business was
young, it took important business away
from the Hettler company. There was
an especial sharp difference over a con-
tract with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The Hines business gradual
ly outstripped that Of the Hettlers. Feel
ing had been very bitter between Hines
and Herman Hettler because OF these
Things
Hines and Hettler had also disagreed
about terms to be prescribed for lumber
dealers by the Chicago Lumber Ex-
change. Questions about all this
brough in a little antitrust inquisition.
Hines said the exchange tried to fix
fair, business-like terms on which to do
business. 1t was necessary to have prac-
tically unanimous agreement on all such
subjects as terms, discounts, etc.
Before the Illinois committee, Hettler
said that Hines boasted of having had
a great time at Washington this win
teri have beaten the President-beaten
him on the lumber schedule. He want
ed II on the free list, and I have de-
feated him, go that now the question
Of whether the duty will stay at $2
or be reduced lies with a very few OF

SIX MEN KILLED
AND THIRTY HURT
WHEN WALLS FALL
Buffalo Pumping Station Is
Damaged a Million
Dollars.

BUFFALO, N. Y. June 3o.-Six men
we're killed and theriy injured when the
new pumping station Of the city water
works, at the foot Of Porter avenue, col
lepsed at $50 O'Clock this morning. All
the ambulances in the city were called
to the scene.
The Porter avenue pumping station
was nearing completion. but had not
been put in order for supply the city
water. The property loss will be over
81, 200, 900.
The cad and injured men were most
ly machinists who were at work in
stalling machinery insied the build
ing. They were buried under hun
dreds of tons of brick. The dead men
are in a pit fifty feet below the level
of tie floor and it will be many hours
beforr workmen can uncover their
bodies.
The two side walls of the pumping
station, each about 300 feet long. fell In,
as we'll as the roof. Only about fifty
feet of wall now remains. Men are now
working heroically to recover the bodies
of the workmen who are pinned under
the great mass of debris.
Twenty-Five workmen, seriously in
jured, have been taken to local hos
pitfalls.

OUIBBLING OVER TRANSFER
OF THE JAIL.

Warden Mckee, of the District Jail,
declares that the action of Congress
in authorizing the transfer of the Jail
from the Department of Justice to
the Commissioners would not hold if
contested in court. His statement is
not surprising, especially when it is
remembered that the new arrangement
iuggles him out of a job.
The transfer was authorized in the
District appropriation bill passed at the
last session. 1t combines the Wash
ington Asylum and Jail and puts the
new institution under the Commits
sioners, who propose to operate it
through a superintendent under the
Board of Charities. Captain Mckee
maintains that prisoners and jails must
be under the control of the courts, and
he makes the further point that the
District code designates the warden of
the Jail as the man who must execute
sentences of death. He says the super
intendent of the asylum and jail is
not authorized, in the act providing
for the transfer, to inflict the death
penalty.
To the layman, Captain McKee's OBJ
jectiohs to the administration of the
new law look like the quibbling of a
man with a selfish motive After read
ing the act passed by Congress it is
difficult to see how the intent to give
the Commissioners control of the Dis
trict Jail could have been palmer or
how the purpose could have been more
explicitly set forth. The Commits
sioners are first given all the "author-
ity, duties, discretion, and powers"
vested in the Attorney General. Then
they are given specific, administrative
authority, in the following definite
terms:
The jail of the District Of Columbia
and the Washington Asylum of said
District, on and after the first day of
July, 1911, shall be combined as one in
stitution, known as the Washington
Asylum and Jail; and the Commits
sioners of said District are hereby au-
thOrtzed to appoint a superintendent of
said institution, at a compensation of
81, 800 per annum, and the position of
warden of the Jail and superintendent
Of the institution now known as Wash
ington Asylum are abolished on and
after said date and all the duties, dis
cretion, and powers now vested in and
exercised by the warden Of the jail of
said District and the superintendent Of
the present Washington Asylum are
hereby transferred to and bsted in the
superintendent herein provided for.
The warden cites the chapter of the
District code relating to control of the
jail-emphasizing the provision for in
ficting the death penalty-and con-
tends that the Jail provisions of the
appropriation act conflict with 1t. OF
course they do, but they also supersede
it. The last section of the appropria-
ton act takes care of that in the
following language:
That all laws and parts of laws to the
extent that they are inconsistent with
this act are repealed.
The consolidation of the asylum and
jail under authority of the Commits
sioners is a move in the direction of
economy. Furthermore, it is a move
toward a more progressive, more hu-
name method of dealing with adult
If it is opposed, those
who create the opposition may have
the satisfaction of knowing they are
with technicalities to block
a genuinely good reform. .. ..

Senate to Rush Work
After independence Day

Senate leaders plan to hurry things
along as rapidly as possible after
July 4. The Senate will be in session
tomorrow and then Will adjourn over
until July 8. From that time on early
sessions will be held, beginning at 10
o'cIock If the leaders can force them.
A good deal of talk of adjournment
early In August Is now heard. III
The Republican regular leaders would
hike to force a vote on reciprocity and
then compel adjournment. But they
cannot do sc. The Democrats are In
sistent on having. vote on the wool
schedule and the free list bill and they
will fight adjournment until those
measures are disposed of. Moreover,
they will be upheld by the House lead
ers and 1t will be impossible to force
an adjournment until those measures
are voted on. ~. ~

Munsey's Tells How Big
Fortune Is Kept Intact

The Rothschilds have violated ell laws
by marrying their near kindred. Until
the last generation. the injunction Of the
wise old founder of the line was scrupu-
lously obeyed. When there were no
Rothschild daughters for the men to
marry, they remained single. Baron
James, for years head of the French
house, married his niece; Baron Lionel,
Of England, welded his first cousin; his
daughter Eyalina became the wife of
Alphonse, who succeeded Baron James,
and 50 on.
When the women left the family, they
slmost Invariably chose husbands who
brought either further financial prestige,
as shown by the alliance between a
daughter of Baron Gustave with Sir
Iitical influence, as by the marriage OF
Hannah Rothsctild to Lord Rosebery.

DENIAL Of
HINES STORY COMES
FROM WHITE HOUSE
Says President Had Moth
ing to Do With Lori
mer's Election.

Without waiting for Senator Aldrich
to apear before the Lorimer investi-
eating committee to explain the con-
nection> of the President with the cleo
ton Of the Illinois Senator, the White
House has issued a statement reitera-
ting the denial of the President that
he had anything to do with the selec-
ton of Lorimer.
AT the time Mr.. Hines first went on
the stand before the Helm Committee
and intimated that Mr.. Taft was re-
sponsible for Lorimers election, the
White House FASTENED to protest that
the intimation was unfounded. Now
tnat the lumber magnate comes to
Washington and makes the declaration
again, under oath. and before a COM
mittee Of Senators, the White House
insists again that the President had
nothing to do with the election Of Lori
mer.
White House Statement.
The following statement Is authorized:
THE fact with reference to the Fresf-
dents relation to Senator Lorimer's
election is this:
That during the tariff fight, gen
tlemen came to President Taft and ex-
pressed their interest in passing the
suggested from Illinois that 1t would
be wise for the President to express
an opinion in fovar of the election Of
Mr.. Lorimer. He did not know Mr.
he was an influential member of Con-
gress, but he did know Senator Hopkins
He knew very little about Illinois poll
tics, but expressed a desire that there
should be two Republican Senators
from Illinois, but when asked to put
that in the form of telegram urging
the election of Mr.. Lortmer, he de-
clined to do so.
The statement by Mr.. Hines that the
President was anxious for and was urg-
ing the election Of Mr.. Lorimer Is
wholly unfounded.'
Nothing More to Say.
The President is therefore standing
upon this official statement and will not
add anything to it or take away any
thing from it. Attention is called at
the White House today, however, to the
extract from a letter written by Mr.
Taft shortly after Lorimer's election,
in which the Executive said:
THE reports, rumors, or statements
that l consciously lent any weight OF
the Administration to the election VI
Lorimer are wholly untrue"
The statement and this extract from
the letter are all the expressions upon
the Hines testimony Of yesterday avail
able at the White House today. In
fact, IL is stated that the Executive
will have nothing more to say about
this matter unless perhaps Senators on
the investigating committee call to see
MIN and Inquire about his connection
with the election.
In that event the President may 90
more fully into the matter.
