Miss Bridges answers were elusive. facle and almost baffling throughout the entire days ordeal on the stand.
 From the beginning of her testimony in the morning Miss Bridges exercised the greatest caution, but after two hours of legal fencing Prosecutor Burnham began firing volley of pointed personal aues- tions at her
 For the first time Miss Bridges became angry when letter signed your wife and addressed Dear Evelyn was read as evidence. She admitted writing the letter in which she promised her everlast- ing love to See and addressed him in endearing terms The words Hove" and dear she explained did not have the meaning ordinarily accorded them. She also admitted that See often had kissed her and she had returned his affection.
 To every question that involved per sonal conduct and relations with See and concerning the rites performed in the temple of "absolute life," she gave evasive answers, as the court had ruled that she might refuse to answer ques- tions which would tend to incriminate her. When court adjourned Miss Bridges still was on the stand and it was an nounced that she would be recalled to- morrow. Manuscripts of Sees Book of Truth will be read as evidence tomor- row, it was said, and Miss Mona Rees probably will be called to testify.

Abolish Tariff Wall

Senator Root said that the protec- ton of industry and manufacturing had been at the base of the protective tar If system.
 Senator Root said the abolition of the tariff walls between the states had been the greatest factor toward the peace and development of this country
 'In my opinon,' he said, 'the exist ence of a political line between Canada and the United States does not initiate | against the proposition that the taking down of the tariff wall between these 1 two kindred countries will bring the same great benefits that followed the estab- lshment of a free trade between our states"
 Senator Dixon of Montana interrupted to say that his opposition to the reel procity agreement was that it made free trade in agricultural products, while it left a protective duty on manufactured products.

 Abolish Tariff Wall
MUCH EXAGGERATION

Washington, June 21-Senator Root of New York formally opened the Canadian reciprocity debate in the Senate today. He announced he favored the agreement and defended President Taft's course in negotiating it, declaring that in no way had the President exceeded his authority. MT. Root also spoke in favor of his amendment to the wood pulp and paper provision of the bill, to which President Taft is opposed on the ground that 1t might jeopardize the entire agreement.
 He insisted that the President had fol- lowed the practice ordinarily followed by the diplomatic and executive offices of the government in giving assurance to other governments that certain things would or would not be done.
 "The President has followed a course entirely within his power in accordance with precedents and strictly within the limits of officis properties This is in no sense a treaty. It is one of those in- formal temporary arrangements made between executives of two governments for the effective conduct of negotiations in regard to international affairs.
 where there Is existing an interna- tional question 1t makes no difference whether the final settlement of that ques- ton comes through 8 treaty or through the passage of concurrent laws. If the President cannot institute negotiations of an ordinary nature and give assurance to foreign representatives then business can not go on.

 T think the farmers of the country are unduly apprehensive. I believe this re- ciproeity agreement will be for the best and the permanent interest of our coun- try and l must be for It.

Much Exaggeration

MT. Root said he believed the pre- dicted dangers to the farmer along the northern bordc- had been greatly exag- gerated.
 The senator made a direct reply to re- publican senators who had intimated that the passage of the measure would be followed by reprisals that might result in the pulling Gown of the protective tariff system.
 When those men and their constit- uents view the matter calmly in the 1 interests of the whole country" saic Mir. Root. they will forget their re their principles.
 Senator Root said no one could b, blind to the change of sentiment 1T the country upon the tariff question The Canadian agreement, he said, ne. gotiated in republ blican administration and backed by general popular sup. port, was a great evidence of this charge.
 There is not the least possibility unless there is anoth,r revision of sen. timent," said MT. Root that the peo- | ing to be increased by duties on theii ordinary foodstuffs when their con sumption equals the limit of produc- tlon in this country"
 Senator Bailey asked why the tarif should be retained on clothing if re- moved from food products.
 Senator Root answered that food was the greater necessity and that dua consideration was undesirable. But clothing Is as essential as food, persisted MT. Bailey.
 If we go without food, we starve if we go without clothing, we freeze
