SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
GOLD DUST TAKEN BY
THE ROBBERS.
IN COW CREEK CANYON, OREGON
Cara Detched and Are Believed &c
Have Been Forced by Dynamite.
Three Men Did the
Job.

Eugene, Ore, June 20. - The first
section Of the Oregon Express on the
Southern Pacific railroad was held up
and robbed at Westfork, in Cow Creek
canyon.
Three masked men stopped the train
which was northbound. ordered the en-
press and mail cars separated from the
passenger coaches and then compelled
the engineer to run his engine up the
track. 1t is believed the robbers dyna.
mited the detached cars.
Explosions were heard in Westfork
from the direction in which the cars
were taken. 1t is reported that several
thousand dollars worth of gold dust
was on tho train.
The train left for San Francisco on
time but lost twelve hours. This would
have brought it through the canyon in
daylight. 1t Is believed that the rob-
bers learned of the delay and laid their
plans accordingly.
Many delegates and others in at
tendance on the International Sunday
School Association convention, which
closed in San Francisco Tuesday, had
arranged to return East by way of
north coast points, and a number of
them probably were passengers on the
train.

senate committee is holding it's investi-
cation into the election of Senator
t.orimer. This action was taken by
the committee at an executive session.
The committee considered it mad
visable that Mr.. Hines should be per-
mitted to listen to the testimony.
Since Clarence S. Funk. of Chicago,
took the stand Mr.. Hines had been al
lowed to be present in the committee
evidence largely had conferred about
his alleged remark about the Larimer
election expense.
Rush Culver, lumberman and law
yer of L'Anse, Mich, was a witness
before the committee. When the Lori
mer investigation was on before the
Helm committee of the Illinois legis-
lature, Shelly B. Jones, of Marquette,
Mich, was reported to have stated
that Culver was present on an occa-
sion in 1909 when Hines declared he
had lust succeeded in making
United States senator that cost hun
dred thousand dollars"
Jones testified the conversation was
in 1907 and was simply that Lorimer's
election, presumably to tho house,
probably cost barrel of money"
AS soon as Mr.. Culver was sworn,
the committee went into executive ses.
sion, after which he began his testi-
mony by saying he had been mayor of
Marquette. Mich. He then told of
business relations with Edward Hines.
Contradicting some of the testimony
at the Springfield investigation, he
said he had not seen Hines since Lori
mer's election to the senate

Senator Lorimer with Hines. On one
or two occasions he told me he was
friendly to Lorimer and it seems to me

Washington. June 29.-Referring to
the consideration of the Canadian reci-
procity question as the drama now
in progress in the senate of the United
States" Senator Cummins. of Iowa.
delivered a speech on the reciprocity
bill and offered important amendments
to It's agricultural provisions.
No attempt was made by the Repub.
lican leaders at the opening of the ses.
sion to fix a date for a vote of the
bill. Senator Cummins said it was ap'
parent that Republicans and Demo-
Gratis favoring the bill had determined
to submit to the repeated statement
that the president will accept no
amendments to the Canadian recipro.
city bill
Il make no comment on this situa.
tion," he said, Save that it seems to
me an abdication of the duties of the
senate and an abandonment of it's re-
sponsibilities.
Senator Cummins attacked the com.

Democrats to pass the reciprocity bill

that minority of the Republican
senators, most of whom have advo

the tariff law on manufactured prod.
cuts and majority of the Democrats,
who have professed adherence to the
principle of tariff for revenue only,
purpose to pass this reciprocity bill
without change"
The bill, he said, would only accom-
plish two important things-admit free
of duty the agricultural products OF
Canada and admit small quantity OF
wood pulp and print paper.
Senator Cummins' amendment pro.
posed to admit free from Canada both
raw and manufactured agricultural
products, including fresh meats, can.
ned meats, barley, malt, flour, iron,
steel, wooden goods, cotton goods, silk
and leather goods. These amend.
ments apply only on the American
side of the line.
