DENEEN ON WITNESS STAND.
Governor of Illinois Testihes in the

Governor of Illinois Testifies in the
Lorimer Case.
The cross-examination of Charles S.
Deneen, governor OF Illinois. occupied all
Of yesterdays session Of the Senate COM
mittee which is investigating allegations
OF corruption in the election of Senator
Lorimer, Of Illinois For about six hours
Gov. Deneen was grilled by Judge FL
bridge G. Hanecy, counsel for Senator
Lorimer.
The questions asked by Judge Hanecy
were designed to break down Gov. De-
mems testimony Thursday that he re-
garded Senator Lorimer as the dominat-
ing power in the Illinois legislature, be-
cause OF his ability to control the coali-
tion Of Democrats and Republicans
which elected Speaker Shurtleff.
Judge Hanecy endeavored to show that
Gov Deneen, and not Senator Lorimer,
had a predominating influence in the af-
fairs of the Illinois legislature, and had
actually deferred the election of former
Senator Albert ]. Hopkins because Gov.
Deneen wanted the contest against his
election filed by the defeated Democratic
candidate settled before the United
States Senator was elected. The cross
examination of Gov. Deneen will be CON-
tinued to-day.

Senate Lacks Decorum, as All Mem
bers Sadly Admit.
The Senate is In a sad way. It's con-
duct has become most reprehensible. De-
corum has been thrown to the winds and
rough and tumble debate has succeeded
the sonorous speeches and dignified de.
liberation that formerly marked that hon.
orable body. Senator Bacon, Of Georgia,
says so, and yesterday called up his
amendment to the Senate rules aimed to
bring that body back to the old order Of
decorum.

cussion," said Mr.. Bacon. TT has gotten

The Senator from Georgia looked
around the chamber sadly. He said
thoughtful men were losing their respect
for the dignity Of the Senate.
Senator Root expressed his deep appre-
citation to Senator Bacon for having
brought up the unhappy subject for re-
view
Senator MARITIME, of New Jersey. one of
the worst offenders in the Senate in this
respect, said never a word. All the speak
ers professed that they themselves had
been careless.
After q number OF comments and sug-
gestions had been submitted by sena-
tors Clapp, Mccumber, and others. the
amendment OF Mr.. Bacon was referred 10

PROBERS In ROW
ON SUGAR TARIFF
Standpatters Disagree with
Witness Statements.

A sharp controversy between Repre-
sentative MaIby, Of New York, and
Frank C. Lowery, general sales agent
of the Federal Sugar Refining Company,
marked yesterdays session of the Hard
wick sugar investigating committee. The
trouble arose over the effect of the tariff
on sugar. Mr.. Lowery had testified that
the reduction of the duty on sugar, or
the admission of that product free of
duty, would beneft the consumer.
Representative Malby, who is a stand
patter on the tariff, submitted a long
list Of figures designed to show that his
tory combats the theory that the tarifr
tends to increase the cost Of sugar to
the consumer. he pointed out that on
January /, 1904, under the terms of a
reciprocal agreement made with Cuba,
sugar from that island was given the
beneflt Of a 20 per cent preferential duty.
In other words, Cuban raw sugar was
admitted at L34S cents q pound, while
the product from other countries carried
a rate of L6s5 cents pound.
Are you in favor Of q duty on raw
sugar In order that It may be profltably
made in this country?" asked Mr.. Malby.
mot If the cost of manufacture in this
country is not too high responded the
witness.
Asked If he favored the free admission
Of refined sugar, the witness replied:
mot unless you give US free raw ma
terial"
Representative Fordney asked the wit
ness IL the common stock of the Federal
Company, representing about two-thirds
of its capitalization, was not really
water"
IT do not think So" the witness re-
piled.
WAS not some Of this common stock
issued free to subscribers?" he was asked
Mr.. Lowrey replied that Mr.. Spreckels
would be able to give this information.
The committee may postpone its visit
to New York for a day or so. 1t planned
to meet there Tuesday. A delegation OF
cane planters from Louisiana put in an
appearance yesterday. Their testimony
may run over into Monday, in which
event the New York sessions may not
be begun until Wednesday.

NO ALARM CAUSED
OYER MISSING MAP
Controller Bay Case Has No
New Developments.

Mai. J.. B. Cavanaugh, assistant to the
Chief Of Engineers of. the Army, and
Alfred H. Brooks, in charge Of the
alaskan mineral resources for the
Geological Survey, were the only wit
nesses heard yesterday by the House
Committee on Expenditures in the IN
terror Department, which is investigat-
ing the Controller Bay land controversy.
The course that is being followed by
the committee indicates that there IS no
present intention on the part Of Chair
man Graham to comply with. the request
of Secretary Of the Interior Fisher that
immediate inquiry be made into Miss NJ.
F. Abbott's story of the now famous
"Dick-to-Dick" letter concerning the
Executive order issued by President Taft
restoring to the public domain and
throwing open to entry water front
lands on Controller Bay.
Maj. Cavanaugh and Mr.. Brooks were
called to-day with the idea of demon
strating that Controller Bay is the logical
and, indeed. the only available point for
the terminus of railroad from the great
coal fields of the interior, and that this
explains the activity Of the Guggenheim
agents in filing on these water front
lands.
The COMMITTEES paid little attention to
report that map of Controller Bay. sup
posed to have contained tracings Of the
proposed Controller Bay and Navigation
Company's railroad, had disappeared
from the files of the War Department.
Such map already has been produced
by Secretary Fisher. Maj. Cavanaugh
said he thought ne had seen such a map
at the War Department, and that it had
been brought to him some time ago by
persons interested in the project But no
such map had been officially filed.
Chairman Graham asked II Richard 8.
Ryan. an agent OF the Guggenheims. was
one Of the men who visited the depart
ment in this connection.

swered. although he may have been. !

Senator Called to New Hampshire
by Sons Death.
It was learned yesterday that Senator
Ganinger, chairman Of the District Com
mittee Of the Senate, who was called to
New Hampshire by the death Of his
son, would not return to Washington
during the remainder of the special ses-
sion. 1t is very unlikely that, beyond
passing the few bills on the calendar
touching the District of Columbia, the
Senate will attempt any more District
business until the winter session.
Further action by the District Com
mittee of the House depends upon the re-
assembling Of sufficient members OF the
House to enable the committee to obtain
a quorum.
