Washington, May 1S-Claiming the es- sence of the proposed compact between this country and Canada Is reciprocity and that such was the understanding of those who framed it, Senator Root to- day appeared before the Senate finance committee and suggested an amendment to the House bill which would prevent wood pulp and paper from coming into this country free until it was free from all the provinces of Canada Senator Root argued that such an amendment would not prevent the agreement as a whole from becoming effective. On the other hand, John Norris of New York repre- senting the American Newspaper Publish CTS association, commenting on the pro- posed amendment. declared that it's adop- ton would be fatal to the agreement.

MOTHER PRAYS IN COURT ROOM

Bainbridge, Ga, May 1S.-Dramatically begging to be allowed to offer prayer for her son and the jury, Mrs: s. D. L. Ray knelt at the witness stand in the superior court room here today and prayed earn estly. Jurymen and others in the court room shed tears.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
 NAVY REDUCTION Meet Revenue Reduction
 With Cut in Expenses PLAYING A SLY GAME LaFolJette Is sK eepinp the Lid on"
PLAYING A SLY GAME
LaFollette Is Keeping the Lid on" the Reapportionment Bill for
 Reasons That Are All
 His Own
By PATTERSON srEALEY

Washington, May 1s.--(Special )--Con- fronted with a loss of revenue amount ing to more than $10.ooooOo on account of the passage of the free list bill, and with cut contemplated as a result of re- vision of the schedule on wool. the House democrats are planning to recoup these losses mainly through a reduction of ap- propriations for the navy. The present programme of the democratic House is that hereafter 1t will authorize but one battleshp per annum. This plan Is en- tirely at variance with the two battle ship programme of former President Roosevelt as well as that of the present administration
 The democrats of the House, however, have always leaned toward an adequate" navy, rather than a big navy. With the exception of such men as Representative Hobson. who wants three and even four new dreadnaughts authorized each year, the democrats of the whole House have voted for a reduced appropriation. The democratic party is now in possession In the House and in position to put into effect not only its naval programme but also to regain some of the losses bound to be incurred through reduc- tion of tariff duties. Naval experts esti- mate that the modern battleship, when fully armed and equipped, costs at least s11,O0o,00O, consisting of supplies, repairs and the salaries and maintenance Of officers and men.
 This amounts. conservatively speaking to $750,o0O per year. The cost of keeping the Connecticut afioat has run as high as $10O0,O00 annually. The democrats fig ure, therefore, that not only will they save the original cost of the extra yes sel, but that there will be cumulative saving of nearly $1.Ooo,0oo per annum, if only one dreadnaught Is authorized every 12 months.

Game of Politics

As chairman of the Senate committee on census, Senator LaF ollette Is sit ting tight on the lid which covers that highly important" but Is an insurgent aspirant for the presidency, extremely uncomfortable measure known as the re- apportionment bill. This measure has been passed by the House and the dem ocrats are anxious that 1t should be re- ported to the Senate as was shown by the inuuiries of Senator Martin some days ago. Senator LaFollette does not pro- pose to report the bill if he can help 1t, however, and there's reason'
 This req son can be easily discovered by an examination of the results of the pas sage of this bill in the several states Representation in national conventions Is based on representation in Congress and careful review of the effects of the re- apportionment bill shows that 1t would increase the representation of those states which are certain to send solid delega- tons for President Taft, and would, to some extent, diminish the representation of those from which the Wisconsin sena- tor and other members of his party hope to secure insurgent delegates A careful estimate shows that the passage of the reapportionment bill would add at least 60 Taft delegates to the rooster of the re- publican national convention, while the number from states which may possibly send insurgent delegates will be reduced Under these circumstances, combined with the fact that the New York delegation is not anxious for the passage of the bill and that. the Senate as whole prefers to do nothing 1t can escape doing at this session, 1t may be that the Wisconsin senator will remain on the lid until the special session adjourns and before Con- gress has time to act at the regular ses- sion, the calls for conventions will have been issued
 Representative Powers or the Eleventh Kentucky district has asked the President to appoint Joshua Burdett of Middlesboro minister to Hayti. Mir. Powers says the 75, 900 negro voters in Kentucky deserve recognition and that Burdett is well quail filed for the position.
