BILL AIDS CONSUMER
REPORT SHOWS THAT FREE LIST
WOULD REDUCE TARIFF.
Reciprocity Not Enough to Lift Burden
From the Farmers-Cannon
Attacks Canadian Pact.

Observation-Disclosures Underwood
Of the ways and means committee sub
mitted to the house the majority re-
port of hat body on the so-called
farmers free list bill. The report is
an analysis Of the proposed duty ex-
emptions and a Democratic political
argument.
The report shows that the pill
would reduce the tariff e S10,-
016,495, based on imp%ortations for the
last fiscal year, an amount described
as 'inconsiderable in comparison with
the great saving and advantages to
all Of our people from the additions to
the free list provided"
The reciprocity agreement, the COM
mittee asserts. cannot afford the
American people all the needed relief
from high prices. action on the
agreement involves the necessity Of
further and immediate action in re-
moving a number of duties on imports
from other countries in order that
Justice may be done to the great army
of agricultural producers who, in the
Canadian agreement, are to nave all
the alleged protection removed from
their products without a correspond
ing or reciprocal removal Of the pro-
tective duties on the commodities
they must purchase to sustain their
lives and industries"
Former Speaker: Cannon vigorously
In a speech attacked Canadian recip-
rocity.
Aided by a large map Of the United
States and Canada, he played the role
of schoolmaster to a crowded floor
and filed galleries. Mr.. Cannon as
sailed the proposed agreement as dan
gerous to American trade, inimical
to the best interests of American
farmers and certain to result in
depreciation Of American farm lands.
Not since the war with Spain and
all that followed it has there been
considered by the house of represent
atives SO important a bill as the one
now pending" he declared. "On the
action of the house rests the we'll be-
ing and the prosperity Of all the peo-
pie Of the United States. Is 1t proper
on slight consideration to vitalize
into law an agreemen' that affects the
prosperity Of every home in the land?"

How Spirits Spell.

Judging by spiritistic communica-
tons l have received lately simple
spelling must be more popular in the
world beyond than it is in this said
a man who patronises mediums. Hail
the messages received from the spirit
land nowadays are spelled In a way to
bring JOY to the hearts Of the simple
spoilers. Not one medium, but many,
transmit them thus. Mediums who
know the old-fashioned spelling boo
well enough to spell down a whole
room full of folks have gone over to
the revised edition.
whatever force 1t Is that guides
their hands when transmitting mes
sages must be impressed with the util-
ity of the new system. At the last
seance l attended / received a com
m%unication from a nan who fought
new-fangled spelling with his dying
breath, but since he passed over he
must have learned something to make
him change his mind. for he now
writes like a disciple Of Artemus
Ward"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Gompers,
of the American Federation of Labor,
said the arrest of International Secre-
tary John Mcnamara, Of the Bridge

lea, was a grossly outrageous kidnap-
ing and attributed 1t to enemies of or
ganized labor and a plot of moneyed
interests to destroy labor unions. He
suggested that the states in the exer-
else Of their police powers are as for
eign to each other as are foreign coun
tries and that no country would think
Of giving up a citizen on mere demand
of another country without a hearing.
Mr.. Gompers said he could not say
what may be done in the defense OF
the men arrested at Indianapolis or
whether the federation would give It's
aid but in the meantime he had the ut
most confidence in their innocense.

Chief Of Police Sebastian said that he
feared publicity regarding the move
ments Of the prisoners might result
n more dynamiting and the loss OF
lives and railroad property. Secrecy
also is regarded as necessary to avoid
legal complications.

How Artificial Furs Are Made.

The raw pieces are frozen and the
skin carefully shaved off, thawed and
send to the tanneries to be made into
leather. The frozen fur which re-
mains is allowed to thaw slightly at
the bottom, SO that a small part of the
hair is freed from ice. This thawed
portion is then covered with a solu-
ton of rubber, which Is allowed to set.
The result Is that large seamless
pieces Of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin. These same art1f-
cial furs are said to be more lasting
than the real, because they are i'm.
hume from the attacks Of moths.

aestions He Could Purchase Votes
for His Reelection.

Springfield, Ill.-A statement at
tributed to G. q. Weihe, brother-in-
law of Edward Hines, was presented
to the Helm investigating committee
by William Burgess of Duluth. Mr..
Burgess testified that on the 7th Of
last month Mr.. Weihe, who vas a
total stranger to Mr.. Burgess, made
the boast to Burgess that 500. 900 had
been raised to elect William Lorimer
senator and that he. Weihe. had put
up $4,000 himself.
Burgess, on taking the witness
stand, told of a railroad journey on
the Winnipeg Flyer between Duluth
and Virginia in March, 1911. He said
a man named johnson Of a trade pub
location, one Randolph, John and Carl
Weyerhauser, Weihe and another
man were In the party. the smoking
compartment, aboard a sleeping car.
Burgess said the subject of William
Lorimer's election came up In the
course of conversation. Burgess, dur
Ing this chat on the subject of Lori
mer, said he expressed the opinion
that the senator had used money to
effect his election.
"'You don't know what you are
talking about Weihe said to me-"
testified Burgess.
Burgess then said Weihe declared
Lortmer spent a cent, but that
q Jackpot vas raised by Lorimer's
friends to effect the election.
" I know what I am talking about"
Weihe vas quoted by Burgess as say
ing, because I put up $40, 900 for that
Jackpot.
Ex-senator Albert J.. Hopkins testi-
fed that he was approached frequent
ly with suggestions that for certain
amounts he could purchase votes
toward reelection, but invariably re-
piled that he was q candidate for the
senate and not for the p~enitentiary.
Attorney Healy asked Mr.. Hopkins
regarding reports that one had
been used to elect Lorimer.
Senator Mccormick Of Madison
county" said Mr.. Hopkins. "told my
private secretary, John NJ. PETERS,
that he had been offered $4,000 to
vote for Lorimer."
Mr.. Hopkins said that he could not
state the time or place of this offer.
Mr.. Hopkins told OF a conference
with MI. Lorimer at the Willard hotel
In Washington, at which he tried in
vain to ascertain the Of Lori
mer's opposition to his H-election.
He said hat he did not know Edward
Hines or Edward Tilden. and did not
recall W seeing them.
81 believed throughout the dead
lock that 1 would be elected by Re
publican votes" said Mr.. Hopkins. II
did not believe they would go home
without choosing me after I had been
lndorsed by the voters"
Mr.. Tilden in brief said he did not
intend to return to Springfield or
bring his private books and papers
before the committee. He did offer
70 select one member Of the commit
Tee to examine such records and re-
port to the other four members.
