House Committee that n complaints were
registered they would receive every con-

office will not save him. Coroner Norris

held an inquest. and has decided that Sec
rotary Hilles is the murderer OF this inno-
cent. and that President Taft. while not
actually guilty Of stranglng the puny in
FAINT. is an accessory before the fact. Mr.
Norris took occasion to make public to-day
a letter he had sent to certain lost and
bewildered members of the Republican
Progressive League, in which he asserted
that Mr.. Hilles was conducting a news
bureau which suppressed the truth regard
ing the great popularity of the insurgents,
and especially Of Senator la Toilette. and
issued underground and false statements"
as TO the popularity of William Howard
Taft, the Canadian reciprocity agreement
and other things little beloved by the in
surgents. Mr. Norris Is consderate enough
to say that he does not believe the Presi-
dent actually writes or dictates" these
false statements. but he is quite sure Mr.
