a huge funeral pyre, placed Sinsh's
body on top then set fire to it.
The pyre was built on the banks of
the Columbia river and the blaze was
noticed for miles around. The dead

hoods the charges of Delegate Wick
ersham of Alaska, that the attorney
general had shielded Alaskan Grim
inaIs," and had allowed the statute of
limitations to run in an alleged coal
contract fraud case.
The attorney general said the
proof which the delegate had given
him in the coal case consisted of an
affidavit of H. ]. Douglass, formerly
auditor of the Alaskan syndicate. This
purported to show that a conspiracy
had been entered into by the North.
western Commercial company and the
John j. Sesnor company to get con-
tracts for supplying coal to govern

affidavit referred to alleged affidavits
made by Captain Jarvis, who was
head of the Alaska Syndicate COM

INQUIRY.
CONTRACT DENIED By TRUST
unset for Big Corporation Repudi-
ates Agreement Claiming 1t Was
Never Signed, But Committee Place
X in the Records.

Washington.-A purported pooling
agreement entered into in November,
1900. between the Carnegie Steel COM
pany and ten other kindred concerns
for a percentage apportiopment OF
the steel output of the country-an
admittedly illegal document supposed.
ly long since destroyed-stirred the
meeting of the house steel trust in
vestigating committee.
No sooner had the committee met
than Chairman Stanley put into the
records a copy of the alleged agree
ment. 1t first came to light through
Eugene Bonnewell, an attorney, and
F. B. Kaufman, a job printer, both
of Wayne, Pa, who acquainted Chalr-
man Stanley of their information.
Any steel company violating the
terms of the agreement, it is assert
ed. laid itself liable to heavy penalties
and fines of as much as $1,000 have
been imposed Each firm was re-
quired to make monthly sworn state
ments relating to shipments, rolling
production, etc, and any member ~so
shipped more than his apportioned
amount was required to pay fine on
each pound of such excess, the money
collected being divided among the
members who did not ship up to their
allotted share.
Section 8 of the agreement, reads:
"All sales between parties to these
agreements shald be at full prices,
as provided in agreement B and all
shipments shall be reported by the
manufacturer, on ', hich a pool tax will
be charged the same as outside par
ties, the purchaser also to report ship
ments of all such materials so bought,
for which they shall. claim and receive
credit"
Richard Lindabury, counsel for the
United States Steel corporation, pro
tested against the introduction of copy
of the agreement because it was not
signed and because the date as
given was one year in advance Of the
formation Of the United States Steel
corporation. Mr.. Lindabury said that
there was no such agreement in the
files of the steel corporation and he
denied all knowledge of it, but the
copy of the agreement as read was
placed in the committees report.

VETERANS FEAR TAFT
PRESIDENT TALKS PEACE TO
BLUE AND GRAY.
Announces Arbitration Treaties With
France and Great Britain VIII Be
Signed Within Ten Days.

Manassas, Va. - President Taft
In addressing several thousand Union
and Confederate veterans made
vigorous plea for international
peace and was applauded and cheered
most heartily.
The president declared that gen.
eral arbitration treaty both with Great
Britain and with France probably
would be signed within the next ten
days. He added that he hoped within
the next few days to announce that
three other great powers would enter
into similar agreements with the
United States. He did not go so far
as to indicate the nations that he had
in mind, but it was generally be-
lieved that he referred to Germany,
Italy and the Netherlands. Japan ul-
timately may come into the tar-reach-
ing peace pact, but the negotiations
with the empire as yet are said TO be
merely tentative.
President Taft reached Manassas
after a tempestous trip. 1t was SO
strenuous that the presidential party
abandoned their motor cars here and
returned to the capital by train. Mr..
Taft laughingly likened his troubles
in getting to Bull Run to those that
some folks so years ago had in get
ting away.
Il brought some senators and repre-
sentatives down with me from Wash
ington," he said, land because of the
exigencies of the road and the storm
and strife of the elements we came
far more slowly than some senators
and representatives who came down
here half century ago went back"

PACT BILL Passed
TAFT RECIPROCITY MEASURE
CARRIED BY SENATE BY
VOTE OF So TO 27.
WILL BECOME LAW JULY rs
Amendments That Encountered Can
ada Pact Su:ck.v Swept Aside
When Time Comes for Decisive Ac-
tior-Party Lines Are Wiped Out.

Washington.-The Canadian reci-
procity bill was passed by the senate
by vote of SO ayes and q nays. and
the business for which congress was
assembled in extraordinary session
was concluded.
President Taft did not receive the
measure for signature before leaving
for Beverly as the house had ad
journed before the senate took the
final vote, and the engrossment of the
bill must take place while the branch
in which -: originated is in session.
Every amendment was voted down
by a larger majority than that by
which the original bill finally carried
in all cases where a roll call was
had. On the final passage II Repub-
leans voted for the bill and "a against,
80 Democrats for 1t and 3 against
The only significant thing as to
votes on the various amendment was
the practically unanimous disposition
on the part of friends of the reciproc-
ity measure not to allow anything to
mar the agreement entered into be-
tween executive officials Of the Cana
dian and United States govern
ments.
Most of the votes on amendments
on which there were roll calls ran
about IS to Ga The highest votes OBJ
tanned in favor Of any amendments
were those on the Nelson cattle and
farm products proposition and the Nc
Cumber scheme to prevent elimination
of the duties on grain in bond. The
former was defeated % to So and the
latter 81 to 81,
No big crowds filled the galleries
when the end came, but there were
many members Of the house on the
floor as the finish approached. There
was no oratory-just a series Of roll
calls, which brought the main issue
to a vote.
Ottawa, Ont.-The favorable action
by the United States senate on the
reciprocity agreemnt puts the govern
ment in a somewhat stronger position,
but it is conceded that it will not
prove a factor in breaking the pres
ent deadlock on the question in the
Canadian commons. The leaders of
the opposition profess to see no
change in the situation and assert
that they will continue the filibuster
against a measure which. they claim.
is the entering wedge looking to dis
solution of Canada's ties with the
mother country.
Under parliamentary rules the ma
jcrity cannot force closure on ques-
ton of this kind. The opposition can
delay a vote indefinitely by providing
speakers to continue debate.
A dissolution of parliament and an
appeal to the country in general
election with reciprocity as the issue
is the only course left to the govern
ment, and it is expected that Premier
Laurier will take advantage of the
first opportunity within a fortnight.
The new parliament would be able to
enact the agreement before the first
of the year.
