SENATOR HEPBURN
 MEETS A SURPRISE
Idaho Man Addresses Silk Manufacturers and Finds
 They Favor Reciprocity

New York, February 12.-(Special.)- )--- United States Senator Heyburn of Idaho was the guest of honor at the banquet of the Silk Association of America at the Hotel Astor last night. He attack ed the Canadian reciprocity agreement, and was greatly surprised at the way his speech was received by the 700 diners. In the course of his address, after giving arguments against reel procity, he exclaimed:
 We do not want free trade. Do you think we do?
 Instantly it seemed everyone of the diners shouted:
 Yes, we want free trade. What does Taft think about it?''
 Senator Hepburn was staggered for moment and then quickly finished his speech and sat down.
 letter from Representative J. w Fordney of Michigan, member of the House ways and means committee was read. He also opposed reciprocity and there were murmers of disapproval
 Senator Hepburn began his speech with a reference to the senatorial con test in New York.
 IS IL apetlei, ne dSheu, to nave United States senator elected by lot of ward politicians than to have every citizen express his choice?
 This reference to direct election of United States senators was loudly ap plauded. Senator Hepburn told the silk men that reciprocity would ultimately mean that Japanese silks would be sold chcaply here, and he added
 You will have to wrap yourselves in your own silks and starve to death. He drew a narrowing picture of what reciprocity with Canada would do to the woolgrowers of the west.
 There Is no more reason for one law with Canada and other laws with other coUntries.' he said, than there Is foi different laws for different states"

HOUSE OF LORDS
 WANT NO REFORM
BEST OPINION GIVEN ON THE MATTER IS THAT THE PEERS WILL BACK DOWN AND AC- CEPT VETO BILL

London, February 12.-(Special)-- Despite the strong recent declarations of the Times and Observer that the lords will reform themselves. the Times now announces that the unionists will the house of lords. The liberals say that it is because they have no scheme upon which the peers and the other unionists are agreed The backwoods- men prefer veto bill to such annihila- tion as is proposed by the Lord Lans- downe. Lack of initiative in this mat ter exposes the lords to the charge that they never really meant reform.
 The best opinion now is that the peers will back down and in the end accept the veto bill. E
 King George is regarded this week as virtually first in the pre-coronation season and on all sides Is heard the earnest wish that nothing unpleasant will occur to mar the crescendo in June.
 Paragraphers in society journals, though some of them show black eye as the result of recent disclosures regarding the methods of getting "in- side informal tion," are telling of arr engagements of many of the great fam files for semi-private functions accom- panying the court programme. Stress is laid upon the certainty that the trans Atlantic ladies who have married into our noble houses. will be, as usual, prominent. if not foremost. in the list of entertainers uniting American splendor to British stateli ness.
 Every Londoner has familiarized him. self with the route of the procession upon the day of the coronation, June 22, and of the royal progress through London on the day following. All points of vantage are being taken up and the evening papers allege that ''the American seat speculator is al- ready prospecting in the most eligible localities for places to be sold at a big profit, but, let us hope to his own countrymen." Many decades have elapsed since a British sovereign has slept at Holy Rood Queen Mary IS urged to occupy the bedchamber of Mary Stuart and quite likely will com ply as matter of sentiment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Concerning Fake Damage Suits

To the Editor of the AEe-Herald.
 Tn my article concerning the fake dam. age suit published in Sundays Age Herald under the head of Letters to the Editor" there were several errors. In the first place, there was a typographical error in the signature of my name at the con- clusion of said article. In the first column near the middle thereof the phrase 'to the county hospital should have read "to the company hospital'; the word ''cer- tainly" was omitted in the second column in the sentence "the sight of s100 in silver will almost certainly make him tumble, ' and near the bottom of the second column in the sentence. "I think they encourage litigation every time they settle case in which they know there is no liability, $ the word mo" is omitted, and just ., the end of the article the phrase sub ordination of perjury" should have been 'subornation of perjury"
 With thanks for your consideration of my article, and trusting that you will make tho above corrections, I am, yours very truly. j.. HOWARD PERDUE

 Mrs. Rickard is going along with him. Tex has been married ten years but he say there is no chance of his ever go- ing anywhere without the "Missus." Jack Gleason. who was Richards part ner in promoting the JeffriesJ Johnson fight, will go along. too. Jack is in Chicago now and has wired Rickard that he would like to make the trip with him. Rickard says he and Glea- son got along famously on the big fight.
 Although he was an absolute strang- CT to me when I came East to bid for the big fight. he showed himself to be absolutely square and on the level" says Tex, and now they are the closest kind of friends. Rickard has been a cowboy, miner, a gambler and a fight promoter, and In the latter capacity, probably the nerviest the sporting world has ever known. He has been broke a dozen times. He has won and lost fortunes without blinking an eye. Some of his experiences would have driven the average man to distraction and robbed any ordinary mortal of all ambition. Rickard, however, weather ed the storms of diversity and on each occasion bobbed up for fresh start. He never gave up.

"Miss Ananias"

The day is past when cotton flannel passed without comment for royal robes, and when the regular drawing room set." with an arn, chair on a raised plat form was a perfectly satisfactory throne room. The costuming and mounting of a play at the present day frequently costs the producer more than does the play it. self even when 1t is the work Of noted dramatist. One of the best examples of the expenditure of money combined with good taste is found in Miss Ananias,' D Catherine Chisholm Cushing's clever comedy in which Adelaide Thurston will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Fri day and Saturday and Saturday matinee.
