Secretary Of the Navy Meyer has
practically sealed the doom OF the Pen
sacola navy yard and If nothing is
done to prevent the carrying out Of his
orders the yard will practically be
closed and placed out of commission.
Orders received at the yard yester-
day morning were to lay off on Satur-
day, July l, $50 of the small force now
employed at the yard, and to make a
still further cut on August /. Fur
thermore instructions were given that
all machinery not in use after laying
these men off is to be permanently re-
tired. lnasmuch as when all of the
men are dismissed from the service
none of the machinery will be in use,
IL means the permanently retiring of
all the machinery at the yard.
1t has been known for some time
that the secretary of the navy intended
making another move against the Pen
sacola navy yard at an early date, for
he has reiterated lately his intetion Of
closing down all OF the southern navy
yards, but the order of yesterday was
so sweeping that 1t caused consider
able surprise.
Since the activities of the yard have
been curtailed about 100 men have been
employed in all of the departments.
The dismissing of $50 of these Satur-
day will leave just forty men on the
navy yard pay rolls, and about half Of
these will 60 on the first of the follow
ing month, leaving merely a hand full
Of men employed there to care for the
buildings and machinery.

Washington, June 2S.-Edward TIL
den, bank director, packing house mag
nate and corporation man generally,
appeared before the senate Lorimer
committee and testified he was in no
way interested in raising funds to
elect Lorimer. Attorneys for the com
mitteemen asked Tilden almost every
conceivable style Of question that had
anything to do with the raising of a
fund to elect Lorimer either before or
after election, and to each the witness
emphatically declared he did not.
Witness testified that he kept no ac-
curate books of his personal business
but merely loose-leaf memorandum
of his receipts and disbursements and
only checks instead of stubs. He said
he was not proud Of the system but 1t
answered the purposes, namely, Of
keeping track of his money until 1t was
banked. The committee did not ask
him to produce his bank books for in
spection.
Kern asked:
Don't you know that stockholders of
the National Packing Company, which
is under indictment for an alleged vio-
lation of the law. complained to the
late chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee and now postmaster
general about being indicted, although
they contributed heavily to the Repub-
lican campaign fund"
NO SIR" answered the witness.
Kern put Tildm's Democracy to
question by asfztng him the name of
the last candid8 for president for

THE FIRST WITNESS.
Rush Culver, lumberman and law
yer of L'Anse, Mich, was the first wit
ness before the committee.
When the Lorimer investigation was
on before the Helm COMMITTEES of the
Illinois legislature, Shelly B. Jones, Of
Marquette, Mich, was reported to have
stated that Culver was present on an
occasion in 1903 when Edward Hines,
millionaire lumberman, declared he
had just succeeded in making a
United States senator that cost hun
dred thousand dollars"
Jones testified yesterday the CONVEX
sation was in 1907 and was that SIM
ply that Lorimer's election, presumably
to the house, probably cost barrel
of money"
AS soon as Mr.. Culver was sworn,
the committee went into executive ses-
sion, after which Mr.. Culver began his
testimony.
"It seems to me Mr.. Hines has said
to me that he had been in the habit of
helping out Senator Lorimer," said Mr..
Culver. He certainly referred to con-
gressional elections
my memory is that he said he would
decorate wagons for Lorimer and
would help him to raise campaign
funds"
Senator Kenyon suggested little
political pleasantly with Mr.. Culver.
You say you are Democrat?"
Yes" The witness added that he
covered a tariff on lumber.
What kind of Democrat are you,
a protection Democrat"
mo. Just a plain Democrat"

the girl broke her own neck In frantic
struggles to free herself from a two
by-four inch scantling to which she
had been found. She asserted that

but admitted that she had overesti-
mated the endurance Of the child.

fed that she told him the case was
one of suicide, and that she had cut

Special to The journal.

Tallahassee, June 2S.-It developed
here today that an error was made
when the commission of Hon. Emmet
Wilson, the new state attorney for the
First judicial circuit was issued. the
error occurring in the office of the sec
retary of state, and probably due to the
fact that at the time the commissions
of number of other new state attor-
neys and judges were being prepared.
The commission of Mr.. Wilson reads
for a term of four years, whereas II
should have read for the unexpired
term of G. L. Wilson, resigned. and
which expire May 25, 1913.
The error was only recently discov-
cred and it is understood that another
commission has been prepared and will
be signed by the governor and for
warded to Mr.. Wilson.

washington, June 2s.-This was a
day Of bitter arraignment for the Ca
madam reciprocity bill in the senate.
Beginning with CUMMINGS attack on
the measure as legislation unjust to
the agricultural interests and con-
Guiding with Borahs denunciation Of
the bill as a Republican betrayal OF
the farming interests, the debate was
all antagonistic. There were criti-
cisms of the president and his
methods. Cummins attacked him not
only for his construction OF the bill,
which he said would put the whole
burden of free trade upon the farmer
without giving him any benefits in the
guise of q reduction of duty on manu-
factured products, but he criticized the
power exercised by the president in
negotiating 1t so as to bring 1t to a
point OF definite agreement between
the two countries.
In doing this Cummins said the
president had usurped the power OF
congress and extended the power
lodged in him to deal with foreign
nations upon revenue matters. he
said II there should be reciprocity
agreement with Canada the original
proposal should have come before con-
gress instead Of through presidential
advances which brought the agree
ment to the point where congress
was assured it could not be changed
or amended.
Borah's criticism was based on the
record of the Republican party as an
advocate Of protection for the farmer.
He quoted at length from Republican
platforms and campaign documents,
arguments and definitions Of the policy
to show the abolishment Of protection
for farm products is a reversal Of Re-
publican policy. He said he was un-
willing to concede that Taft in the
crusade in which he IL now engaged
