every senator present, and In the
presence OF crowded galleries. sena-
tor EIihu Root. OF New York, came
out against Senator Lorimer in a
speech Saturday afternoon.
The keenest interest as manifested
in what Senator Root had to say and
II is expected that his speech will
have much weight IN turning the tide
against Senator Lorimer
Contrary 70 his usual custom, SEN
ator Lorimer was not In his seat
when Senator Root spoke against
him.
Confined Ia Two Lines.
Senator Roots speech proceeded
along two lines. First he criticised
the point OF view taken by the sub
committee Of the committee on Priv
Ileges and elections. which conducted
the Investigation. In the second
place he dssscnted from the conclu-
sions reported b. the privileges and
elections committee. which exoner-
ated Senator Lorlmer's election from
the charge OF having been the result
Of bribery.
Senator Root spoke at consider
able length In opposition TO the
course taken by. the subcommittee In
accepting the Chicago Tribune as the
plaintiff in the case. He insisted II

Section 1901 revised codes 1905 pro-
vides that q demurrer to an informa-

CUSTOMS OFFICERS

Extend Activities to Grand

Alleged Smugglers

Activity of federal custom officials
engaged in the task of estopring GUS
tom leakages-the transportation of
merchandise from Canada into the
United States without the formality of
making declaration thereof and pay
ing duty-was extended to Grand
Forks Tuesday evening when Col!ec-
tor of Customs Jud I.aMoure. Jr.. and
Geo. w. Foulkes. agent in charge of
the special customs officers in the
northwest, made a seizure of mer-
chandise which it is charged was SO
transported.
Following on the heels of last
nights seizure will come arrests. it be-
ing understood that warrants have al
ready been requested.
Collector of Customs LaMoure and
Agent Foulkes left Grand Forks today
and it is believed that there will be
no further local developments in the
matter.
For some time the state collector
and the special agent have been en-
gagged in an effort to trace various ar
ticles which 1t is alleged have been
taken across the boundary line from
time to time within the last few
months. That they have been sue
cessful to such an extent that they
are sure Of their man or men is the
conclusion arrived at in view OF the
local seizure.
The officials are reticent at making
any statement with reference to their
action in this city and would not dis
russ 1t today. preferring to await fur
Their developments.

across the Atlantic on the Mauretania.
The return trip was very stormy. hut
the rough weather had no Ill effects
upon him. save that it was too rough
to promenade and it was rather tire

Mr. satterlund visited at all Of the
leading countries in northern Europe.
including England. Germany. Den

various capitals. He states that Lon

is more progressive. 1t is modern and

The principal fault with Berlin is the
lack OF natural water resources.
In respect to natural resources
Stockholm leads any capital of n

who goes there remarks upon its great

It would be impossible to give a de-

Best Profit on Barley.
In smuggling barley there is a gain
OF about forty cents a bushel to the
producer. tina being the difference in
PRICE between America and Canada.
In the chain system profits thus de-
rived are. 1t is alleged. divided between
the producing farmer in Canada, the
American farmer who acts with him,
and the American grain buyer who
makes the purchase.
Agent Foulkes has been prominent
IN the customs service along the Dor
der for many years. and a few years
aGo was the central figure in a sem
sational affair at Emerson when he
was arrested for kidnapping. but from
which action he emerged successful.
The miniature, which was set in a
gold frame studded with diamonds, is
valued at thousands of dollars. The
diamonds alone are valuable. This
has led the custom officials to believe
that 1t is the identical miniature which
was given by King Charles II to Nell
Gwyn shortly after he met her. The
painting at least is one of her when
she was a comparatively frail blonde
beauty.
Stolen From British Museum.
The picture. which had been stolen
from the British museum. was discov-
cred about two weeks ago by one Of
the special deputies. in a trunk buried
beneath a mass of old clothing. It
had been placed in the pocket Of a
lumberjack's coat.
The trunk was checked to St. Paul,
and after the miniature was removed
1t was forwarded on to it's destination
with the expectation that the owner
would call for 1t or send the check.
The owner. however. failed to appear
and the officials are now ut sea as to
any clue to the identity of the SNUG
gler.
