FOR TRADE PACT
Practically Unit, in Indorsing Reel
procity, Says w. A. Marble, Presi-
dent Of Sons of Revolution, Who
Speaks at Banquet Tonight.
Deplores Governments Failure To
Provide Suitable Tomb for Body of
John Paul Jones.

Reciprocity sentiment Is strong In
the east" said william Allen Marble,
corset manufacturer, New York, and
|president-general OF the National So
ciety OF the Sons OF American Revolu'
| ton, to The Times, Wednesday morn
| ing. Accompanied by his wife, Mr..
Marble arrived In Detroit during the
morning, for the purpose OF deliver
ling an address on THE evolution OF
the flag at the annual banquet OF the
Michigan Society OF the Sons OF the
A m lean Revolution, Wednesday
Ievening.
New Workers., particularly" Mr..
Marble continued, "are anxious to see
the proposed treaty 60 through. We
| are satisfied that better trade rela-
| tions between this country and Can
ada will be a move in the right direc-
|tion. / am q manufacturer myself,
and am speaking as such, not as a
| politician. In fact, II would appear
THAT all manufacturers OF New York
/ are In favor OF the pact. The Mer-
chants association, OF New York, OF
which l am vice-president, recently
sent out letters to the members, ask
ling their position on the question Of
reciprocity, with the result that over
| 900 supported the plan and only
about IL were against II. With this
showing. the association went on rec
ord as being In favor OF reciprocity,
giving II a strong Endorsement We
certainly hope to see the agreement
ratified by both countries"
While Mr.. Marble enthuses over
reciprocity, there is another matter
which is apparently nearer to his
heart than the trade relations be-
tween Canada and the United States,
and that Is the question OF making a
|proper disposition of the remains OF
John Paul Jones, regarded As the
father OF the American navy.
"The body or John Paul Jones"
said Mr.. Marble, was disinterrcd In
France, some Ave years ago. brought
Ito this country and left in an open
room In the naval academy in An

remains were TO be placed In suit

far 1t has not been provided. Work
was begun on the building Of the
crypt, but 1t stopped because OF
lack of funds. Since then several at
tempts have been made to get the
necessary money. The United States
senate appropriated $135,000 for the
completion of the crypt, but up to the
present time the appropriation has
mot gone through, as II was held up
by the house. However, the pros
poets of getting 1t are better now
than ever before. The house COM
mittee on the navy, thanks to one of
your representatives, Congressman
Loud, of Michigan, has tackled on to a
report, an appropriation Of $4,000 for
the work.

HAARER EXPLAINS WHY

Public Works Commissioner Haarer
thinks that his side Of the controver-
sy over the brick contracts has not
been fairly stated. He declares thar
he has at all times acted In the city's
best interests and that there Is no

part of the mayor or anyone else.
''As to that rattler for making tests
OF the brick, admit that the money
was appropriated by the council and
that I have not used II as yet" said
the commissioner. "The reason for
that is that I have been waiting until
a standard rattler should be perfect

contrary, every kind Of brick that has

"As matter OF fact, the brick used
by the city has been tested, In numer-

BADLY.BATTERED NAVAL
BILL PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Provides For Two Battle
ships and Contains Provisions In
Favor Of Union Labor.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Carrying
q provision preventing the buying OF
armor or armament from the steel
trust, the badly battered naval appro-
priation bill was passed by the house
today.
Two battleships and sweeping pro-
visions In favor Of union labor's eight
hour day were included In the bill by
amendments, despite the attempt OF
the naval affairs committee to elim-
mate the eight-hour law provision as
applied to ships authorized last year.
Amendments offered by Stanley,
(Dem., Ky.), who has been demanding
an investigation OF the steel trust for
years, were adopted by blanket vote.
They provided In a sweeping manner
that no armor or structural steel, or
machinery shall be bought from any
CORPORATIONS that have entered into
any agreement, conspiracy or under
standing to deprive the government
CT a fair competition In bids"
Another provision prevents the gov
ernment paying more than 100 per
cent over the cost OF manufacture Tor
armor. At the end OF the bill, Stan
lev tackled on q blanket provision that
TO steel of any description be bought
from any combination that has mo-
nopoly in commerce.
An attempt was made today by Rep.
padgett, (Dem., Tenn, to have the
two-battleship provision stricken from
the bill, and one-battleship clanse
inserted. BY vote Of 1872 to 167, the
house voted the amendment down.

COX TO Be YANKEO
UP FOR CONTEMPT
Political Boss, Indicted on Perjury
Charge, Criticized Court and
Grand Jury.

CINCINNATI. O., Feb. 22.-George
B. Cox, president Of the Cincinnati
Trust Co., and boss of the Hamilton
county Republican organization,
stands In the shadow OF contempt pro-
ceedings because of his criticism OF
the grand jury which yesterday re-
turned an indictment charging him
with perjury.
Cox received the news of his indict.
ment I'm the office Of the Cincinnati
Trust Co. and went directly to the
courthouse where he gave bond In
the sum OF 1000 for his appearance
for trial.
Later he made the statement which
drew the fire OF Presiding Judge Cor
man. declaring In 1t that he had been
indicted for political purposes before
q Democratic judge, by Democatic
prosecuting attorney, and by a grand
jury illegally drawn by them.
II have seen the criticisms of the
court and grand jury by Mr.. Cox as
published in the morning papers said
Judge German today. when court
convenes tomorrow I shall appoint a
to investigate the truth OF
these statements and prefer charges
Of contempt OF court.
II Is believed that the indictment
Is based on testimony given before
the grand jury by John II. Gibson,
former county treasurer, Monday.
Gibson was one OF the three county
treasurers who returned $214,000 IL
legal interest collected on county
funds, TO the county In 1906.
The money was returned after in
had disclosed the fact that
such interest was collected.
The indicted political leader testi-
fed before a previous grand jury.
March 26, 1906, that he had never re-
ceiyed any share Of such interest from
any county treasurer or any bank.
The present grand jury charges he
did receive about $4,000 of such
funds and must therefore have com.
mitted perjury In denying that he had.
The manner in which the illegal
interest was obtained follows:
The three county treasurers depos-
tied In favored banks county funds
supposed to be In their vaults. These
banks, In lieu Of formal interest sent
the treasurers "gratuities."
"a previous grand jury which heard
the evidence after the legislative In.
Of 1905. exposed the in
terest system. declared acceptance OF
"gratuities" was a long established
custom Of county treasures and re-
fused to direct prosecution.

To Prove That He Was Electsd

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s-Wnlism
Lorimer began speaking In his own
defense In the senate at 1:2s o'clock
this afternoon.
Dramatic silence fell over the
crowded galleries as Lorimer arose.
He stood at his seat at the extreme
end OF the last row on the Democratic
side. Immediately behind, standing
along the wall, were Rep. Moxley, his
chief lieutenant. and other memborB
OF the Illinois delegation In the house.
Scores of other Representatives crowd
ed the space or the senators seats.
Hale suggested that Lorimer come
to the center Of the senate.
Beveridge and Taliaferro offered
their seats. Taliaferro's was accepted,
and Lorimer moved TO the middle or
the auditorium.
MANY suggestions have been pre-
sented In this debate" said Lorimer.
MANY Of them refer to my election.
Did organize the Illinois Legislature
against Hopkins? Did / elect Shurt-
len speaker? Did I make Lee O'Neil

induce the Democrats to vote for
me?

WOMEN SWOOP
DOWN ON ALBANY
Sufragettes Appear Before Commit
tee Of New York Assembly and
Argue for Votes.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 22.-Suffrag-
ettes and antIsuffragettes invaded the
legislative precincts today, and argued
before a joint meeting OF the house
and senate judiciary committees the
question OF submitting a referendum
to the people on whether the state
constitution shall be amended to per-
NIT equal suffrage.
The suffragettes far outnumbered
the antis and showed a greater IA
miliarity with Legislative procedure.
The members of the committees
were In their best clothes. and on
their best behavior, but they insisted
this was In honor OF the anniversary
Of the father of the country. the man
who never told fib.
Miss Harriet May Mills, president
Of the New York State Woman's
Suffrage association, led the oratori-
cal effort for her side She said that
her association represented $4,000 ac-
tive and 10000 enrolled members and
that such an organization was entitled
to serious consideration.
Miss Mills was followed by Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Blatch, who said that
the suffragettes were not asking the
legislators to repose such virile
trust" In women as western legis-
lators had done, but were demanding
merely that the legislature submit the
question to the people at large. Max
Eastman, who didn't bear trace Of
being hen-pecked. added his bass to
the suffragettes' song, declaring that
he represented More than four hun
dred men who have banded together
to secure women's suffrage"
In the oratorical lines, the antis dis
played some good samples. Mrs.
John Martin, OF Staten Island, author
Of lis Mankind Advancing" fired the
first broadside at Votes for women"
''The philosophy of the woman's
suffrage movement" she declared,
rests upon two main propositions,
both Of which are fallacious. The
first Is that democracy is not COM
plete until each individual has a vote.
The second Is that woman's emanci-
patton is not complete until she Ia
given vote"
These propositions were laid down
In Daniel Webster style
The suffragettes will hold a big
Rally" In Assembly hall. The speak
ers win be Miss Inez Milholland. Mr..
Henry Willard, Mrs. Roxanna Buryss
and the Rev. DR.. Anna Shaw.
