AIdrich's Testimony as to
 Presidents Altitude WHITEHOUSE STATEMENT
President Said Last March that He had Expressed No Preference for any Candi- date Only Wanted Re
 publican Illinois Senator.

Washington, July 20.-The story oi the administrations attitude toward the election of Senator Lorimer, as told by former Senator Nelson w Aldrich. of Rhode Island and the ac- tivities of R. J. Shields. of Superior Wis, an insurance agent in collect ing affidaVits from witnesses for the investigation. were features of the senate Lorimer committee hearing to- day.
 Instead of sending Edward Hines the Chicago lumberman, to Spring field with word from the administra- ton that Lorimer should be elected Aldrich testified that he told Hines that President Taft was not support ing the candidacy of anyone but that Lorimer was not objectionable to him. The former senator said he told Hines previously that the president had no objection to Albert J. Hopkins, or Henry s. Boutelle for the senatorship.
 4 statement from the White House last March in regard to the election was read to witnesses. The only point concerning which he said, he knew nothing was the declaration that a request had been made on the president to sign a telegram stating his views as to LOrimer's candidacy.
 The White House statement was given out March 29th as follows:
 "The fact with reference to the presidents declaration concerning Lorimer's election is this: That during the tariff fight, a gentleman came to him and expressed interest in the passing of the tariff bill, and said it had been suggested from Illi- nois that it would be wise for the president to express his opinion in favor of the election of Lorimer. He did not know LOrimer well, although he knew that was an influential member of congress but he did know Hopkins. He knew very little about Illinois politics but he expressed a desire that there be two republican senators from Illinois, but when asked to put in the form of a telegram urging the election of Lorimer, he de clined to do so.
 The statement by Hines that the president was anxious for, and was urging the lection of Lorimer is who'll ly unfounded'"
 c. F. Wiehe, secretary of the Ed ward w. Hines Lumber company said that Shields collected the affidavits of witnesses who testified yesterday and that W-iehe did not remark that he subscribed s1OOOO to the Lorimer election fund. Wiehe stated that no arrangement had been made to pay Shields anything.
 Wiehe knew nothing of Shields political activities for the company but he called attention to the state ment that Shields had got about s4.OO0 out of the Hines company as insurance premiums. He said he eX- pected to pay Shields if he presented a bill.

STRANGE DEATH
 OF LEWIS STRANG
THE DARING DRIVER OF AUTO
 MOBILES.
The End Came in Four Mile Gait in
 Country Road.

Milwaukee, Wis. July 20.-Lewis Strang was killed today when his motor car went into a ditch near Blue River. Wis. By a strange trick of fate. Strang famous as a daring driver of racing automobiles and who hun dreds of times risked his life in mad dashes around motor courses, thread ing his way through laundering. careening press of other speed-mad cars, lost his life while driving slowly along a country road. pushed over an embankment by fear of collision with farmers cart.
 Strang was piIoting the machine of the technical committee of the Wisconsin automobile association on it's annual reliability run from La Crosse to Lancaster, a distance of 12S miles.
 The car was running about four miles an hour when farSner was seen going in the same direction. Strang turned aside. but the bank suddenly gave way and the car slid down the embankment, turning turtle. and Strang. reluctant to jump went
 
 with Strang were J. w Tufts, Of Milwaukee; Joe Jaegersberger and l.. A. Clark, of Lancaster. Wis. It seems that the embankment was scarcely more than five feet high. Strang broke his arm about the middle of June during race in Kenosha, and it is thought that this weak arm may have contributed to his lack of control of the car. He was twenty-six years old and was born in New York.
 In 1909 he was the winner at Or mond beach. making 100 miles in 94 minutes. In 1910 on the Indianapolis motor speedway he made a quarter of mile record in eight seconds making 119 miles an hour; one kilo- meter in 22 seconds: five miles in minutes minutes and 17 seconds.

 gestion as Socialist.

New York, July 20.-1n an academic discussion of the governments rela- tions to corporations this afternoon John E. Parsons, formed president of the American Bar association and former counsel for the American Sugar Refining company. said to the congressional committee Investigating the sugar trust that the proposition of F. II. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, for govern ment control of business combina tions was socialistic He added that in his opOiniOn congress should place no restrictions whatever on trade.
 If congress should pass a law con forming to Justice Harlan's dissenting opinion in the Standard Oil case and the tobacco trust case it would cause the countrys greatest disaster. If Justice Harlan's opinisn stood as the ruling opinion of the court our jails would be filled to Overflowing with stockholders and officers of corporations No two businesses could combine to increase their trade
 Parsons was positive that there SIiOulu De HO pA corporations, that they should be per mitted a fire hard and that the ulti- mate consumer would profit there by.

BITTER DOSE SWALLOWED - .1 Lords Will Ultimately Accept Veto BiI
  WITHOUT AMENDMENTS
They Dread the Creation of New Peers and Hope that Time Will Come When Objectionable M asure May Be Repealed.

London. July 2O.-The house of lords passed the third reading of the veto bill without division today after only three hours of debate. The future of the measure may be predict ed tonight with reasonable certainty. Premier Asquith in the commons on Monday will move the rejection of lords amendments en bloc This done. the prime minister will an nounce that if the lords persist there will be no course open for him but to offer the king certain advice which will insure the passage of the bill. It would not he in accordance with constitutional etiquette to speci- fy the nature of the advice. but every one understands that this means the creation of liberal peers
 The house of lords will meet on Wednesday or Thursday and Lord LansdoWne will move the acceptance of the bill. predicting it's repeal as soon as the uniOnists return to office If the eXtremeists rally around Hale bury and vote for the rejection of the bill. LansdOwne is expected to sum mon his followers to vote for it. It is not anticipated that Halsbury will find more than fifty. perhaps not more than a score to make a last stand. and the greatest constitutional revolution of almost a century will be accomplished
 Three considerations have impelled the peers tO swallow this bitter medicine-a desire tO save their own
 caste fro mcheapening; to shield the king from an embarrassing position and to prevent the immediate enact ment of extreme radical measures. such as home rule and the dis-estab- lishement of the Welsh church.

 No
 Did you ever advise the president about the discovery of the open hearth process and the control of the non Bessemer ores by the Tennessee com pany?"
 'I don't think we ever talked to the president about it."
 MT Littleton said it was "an out rage that the bureau of corporations today is responsible for the fact that all the information we seek is impOunded and kept away from the other bran ches of the government.
 The department is not responsible for the interpretation of law" MT. Smith said
