HOLLIS EXPLAINS
 TERM ''POACHER" The Trial of the Alleged Lumber Trust May Be
 Transferred

St. Louis, May 4--W. c. Hollis, seere- tary of the Northwestern Lumbermens s association, explained in the hearing Of the states custer against the alleged lum- Der trust this afternoon terms he used in 8 circular which told of an agreement between the retailers and wholesalers for trade protection.
 The circular was based on the agree ment signed in Chicago in 1903, and in it
 the term "poacher' was used This, ac-
 cording to Hollis, meant any retailer who entered the restricted territory of another
 ret taller. The agreement deprecated the
 entrance of the "co-operative lumber
 finn, into the field occupied by the retail of the co-operatives.
 The agreement, Hollis testified, was rati- fled by the Yellow Pine Manufacturers association in October, 1904, and was abol- ished in April, 1905, on advice of attor- neys. He denied that the attorneys had advised the association it went beyond the law He also denied that the one bulle- tin the association issued was a black list and gave as the reason for dscon- tinuance that it was too expensive to han dle.
 George K. Smith, secretary of the Yell
 low Pine association. shortly before he
 was excused for the day, testified he had sent agents to talk "cut and ship
 ment' to manufacturers not in the asso-
 ciation and the benefits derived from it's
 membership. He did not recall that his agents had advised the on-members of the advisability of curtailing their ouput to obtain higher prices.
 Witnesses who printed the price lists of
 the association testified late in the day. Their testimony showed that often they obained "copy" for their lists from the prices quoted privately by the associa- tions secretary.
 The hearing may adjourn tomorrow to
 meet soon in Kansas City, according to Assistant Attorney General Atkinson, who Is conducting 1t.

FLETCHER ATTACKED FOR L0R|MER VOTE

Boston, May 24.-Insurgency devel- oped today at the annual meeting of the American Unitarian association when about a third of those present followed the lead of the Rev. John Haynes Holmes of New York in opposition to the election of United States Senator Duncan T.. Fletcher of Florida as one of the vice presidents because of his vote last winter on the Lorimer case.
 On a rising vote the motion of MT. Holmes to strike Senator Fletcher's name from the list submitted by tho nominating committee was declared lost without a formal count. Later in the ballot for officers six of the vice pres- idents elected received 460 votes. the total number cast, while Senator Fletcher received 315.
 The Fletcher debate occupied the ems tire forenoon and was the most earnest affair of its kind ever held by the ass sociation.
 Mir Holmes was veh ement in his de- nunciation of the senator's action and said the association should not take an attitude that would necessitate any apology.
 Senator Fletcher was supported by his Jacksonville pastor, the Rev. A. J. Coleman. and the Rev. J. Todd of Al Souls church at Washington.

While this contingent was making its way about town several oth- CT similar aggregations sprang from no one seemed to know where and started out on independent tours and by nightfall--the original demonstra- ton started soon after o'clock-there were at least four separate bands in action.
 Leaving the vicinity of the Presi- dents residence, the original crowd marched through the center of the city and headed back to the chamber of dep uties. It was hetergenous crowd. Behind the coach with the girl in white walked street vender carrying half dozen plumers"-bamboo poles with tufts of feathers at the end for dust ing ceilings. To the ends he bad fixed a Autograph of Madero.

 "Then tell it to your country. Tell your people what you are seeing today The people want Madero."
 From windows along the way hand clapping and cheers answered the shouts from the streets. Here, and there a picture of the peoples new idol was waved and the crowds went wild. Now and then some enthusiast from window or balcony would start haranguing the marchers, whereupon the procession would come to stand, punching up itself almost to suffocation to listen and cheer.

Crow Whips Eagles

Spokane Cor St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 Three bald eagles. housed in the aviary at Manito park in Spokane. were put to flight by crow in a pitched battle a few days ago. The crow made the attack by ripping the shingles from the roof of the house where the eagles roasted. The eagles showed fight, but were routed by the smaller bird pecking their heads and claws.
 The eagles flew high Into the air and swooped down In the regulation fashion, but the crow, which had earned it's spurs In previous combats with hawks and other marauders. was equal to the oc- cason and dodged cleverly when unable to counter the wing blows and bill jabs.
 Attendants at the bird house say the fight was lively from start to finish, ada ing that If it were not for their inter. ference there might have been one or more jobs for the taxidermist. The crow escaped without losing a drop of blood or even a feather. while the so-called "monarchs of the air will be kept busy for some time in getting their plumage in shape. In the meantime the crow is the hero among the birds at tho park.

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS
 TO BE RUSHED TO A VOTE

direct election amendment were made in the form and manner provided for In the Borah resolution. He decried this as "a day of changes" when people were clamoring for changes of all sorts, even of the Ten Commandments" He feared the day might come when the people would call a national convention which would rewrite the entire constitution of the United States. He spoke against the adoption of the recall.
 Senator Newlands, speaking on the res oution, commented upon the lack of lead ership in the Senate.
 sThere was a time when the leaders of the dominant party could agree on and put through programme he said. Now we have no dominant party and no recog- nized leader. Instead of the leadership of the elder statesmen we have chaos.

Many of the cabs were commanded by the demonstrants. The latter did not hesitate to make use of anything on wheels. For the two-wheeled trucks were made to hold a dozen or more men and boys and light delivery wagons appeared frequently in the disorderly procession. The crowds made no attempt to nave in marching order.
 In the early part of the outburst prob ably 70 per cent were boys and youths with sprinkling of women. Their num- bers were increased later by many men. It was noticeable that large percentage of these were not of the peon class, but business and professional men.
 A typical mob was that which repeated ly moved through Avenida San Francisco, numbering. about 1000 In the vanguard an immense Autograph of Madero fastened to 9 wooden cross made of scanting was carried This was followed by several vehicles with wildly shouting passengers. Next came the Mexican flag carried by the men on foot and following this was borne an enlarged photograph of Madero fastened to a broom. While the crowd was passing the end of Cadena street, in which the presidents residence is located, American Ambassador Wilson approached from the other end of the street in his au- tomobile and entered the house.
 Starts From Deputies Chamber
 The demonstration started from the chamber of deputies after that body had been in session more than an hour and when 1t became known that the resigna- tions of President Diaz and Vice Presi- dent Corrall were not to be presented to- day. The chamber was crowded to it's utmost capacity and the doors had been closed upon a large number who sought admittance and for time stood In or derly groups about the entrance on the stairs and outside balconies and in the street.
 peGred bearing printed sheets declaring that General Diaz had refused to resign. That was signal for an outburst of In- dignation. The shouting in the chamber entrance called out the sergeant-at-arms and a number of assistants and the bal comics and stairs were cleared.
 They took up the cry, "viva Madero,'' and for time stood about the chamber shouting and waving their hats. then the later procession. consisting of several coaches filled with men and boys carry ing pictures of MaderQ
 When the crowd started on it's march it was led by coach in which stood a young woman of the better class in white linen suit and wearing a big black feathered hat. She waved a Mexican flag and urged the men about her to a greater pitch of excitement. Beside her stood young man holding aloft a large framed crayon of the revolutionary leader. About the city they made their way, growing In mum bers with every square traversed. They made wide detour and attempted to include In their line of march the resi- dence of the President. At the first notice of the gathering crowd, how ever, two squads of mounted police carrying Mausers slung across their backs. were rushed to the vicinity and posted on either end of the block. When the crowd approached the guards were placed four deep Feeble efforts were

Washington, May 24.-Senator Borah of Idaho, author of the resolution providing for the direct election of senators, which Is now the unfinished business of the Senate. announced in the Senate today that after tomorrow he would press the consideration of the resolution to it's con- clusion. This announcement came after Senator Borah had been urged to with draw a motion that the Senate meet at noon tomorrow instead of at o'clock, the time fixed some time ago, and after Senator Stone of Missouri had complained that the finance, census and privilege and election committees had bills before them which were being delayed and should be reported out.

 the government were stilled but a re- gathering on the street corners of the now thoroughly enraged as well as fright ened partisans of Madero resulted in an- other order to fire at will.
 Mob Fired Into
 Sharper and longer now came the shoot ing. The mob fled. but contrary to all traditions of Mexico, the troops had not yet intimidated the rioters to the point where they were willing to submit The force of the iron hand was weakening and despite the death 1t had brought, the rioters refused to do more than scatter into miniature mobs, each shouting for Madero and yelling for the early downfall of the present government. Police and soldiers began an active patrol of the streets, but the lawless bands merely moved onward to another street when the soldiers were sighted.
 Almost at the moment of the beginning of the demonstration, the American am bassador, Henry Lane Wilson, drove up in his limousine and entered tht palace His visit was for the purpose of paying his respects to the President.
 He chatted for some time with Madame Diaz, the latter expressing her regrets that the President was too sick to re- CtlNe any NlsltOTS. ne Cdll ldSLeQ V minutes. When the ambassador emerged he found troops lined up in front of the palace and mounted police at either end of the block
 The troops which did the shooting re- inforced the police later. The shouts of the mob crying "Viva Madero" and Death to Diaz" could plainly be heard by the ambassador. although they did not penetrate as far as the Presidents bed chamber, save when some careless serv- ant allowed the door to remain open for a moment. The ambassadors motor car moved with difficulty. During its pro- gress at different times three grimy hands were thrulst inside and the diplomat sa- luted with "Viva embajador" dive the ambassador.
 Foreseeing the tragic possibilities in the demonstration, Alfred Robles Dominguez Madero's representative, at the very be- ginning of the disorders secured the pub lication of plea for moderation. In an extra of El Heraldo, in the name of Ma dero, he urged the people to resort to no violence, assuring them that he had per- sonal knowledge that the resignations of Diaz and Corral would be offered tomor- row. That they were not offered today is officially announced as due to technical delay in getting that of Corral in proper legal form.

fingered at Delay of Diaz

Copies of this extra were distributed to the mob free of cost, but the story which appeared to interest them more than the statement of Dominguez was that of the failure of Diaz and Corral to resign. They shouted their, approval of Fl Heraldo which is an American-owned paper, but continued with their marching and shout ing.
 About S.S0 1t was evident that part of the crowd which had endeavored to restrain the riotious faction was losing control. Passing along the portales at the Zocalo. where there are dozens of stalls wherein are sold cakes and can dies, the crowd accidentally overturned one or two. Up to that time the temper of the crowd was still such as it could apologize to the small merchants, but Within an hour their path could be were being thrown here and there de- spite the oft-shouted demand for order. Within an hour their pat could be roughly traced by broken windows in suffer considerable damage was that occupied by the Tampico News com pany an American mercantile house.

 Following the dispersal of the main body of the mob there marched down one NStreet and up another a crowd of totally different character. This was students demonstration" marching "company front" like soldiers, the young men, well dressed and betraying every evidence of belonging to the bet ter class. were singing the Mexican national hymn, which is prohibited by law unless official sanction Is secured and rarely is 1t heard except on official occasions.
 Many storekeepers who in the long years of tranquility had found no need for the iron hutters with which their buildings are generally equipped, has tily boarded up their windows.
 A dramatic incident occurred early when one of the crowd came shouting up Avenida San Francisco, encountered a squad of 12 police and two officers. The mob compelled the police to dismount. and while holding their caps in their hands, to shout viva Madero." No one escaped this command, and as indicating the temper of citizens generally, the cry was usually given freely.
