Free Trade in Masquerade,
Declares Senator YOunq

THE Canadian reciprocity bill is free
trade in masquerade" said Senator
Young of Iowa in the Senate yester-
day afternoon, speaking in opposition
to the measure from the standpoint of
the farmer He declared that the mid
dleman may be robbtng the public, but
that the farmer is not and should not
be blamed for the high cost of living.
This so-called reciprocity agreement
practically confers citizenship upon
the Canadian" said Senator Young
And he is not even asked TO take off
his hat while the oath is admins
tered"
Speaking of the disposition in some
quarters not to consider the interests
of the farmer, Mr.. Young said there
are members of Congress elected who
never see farmer except when they
so through the country in automobiles
or on limited trains. Formerly all
hats went off to him. said Mr.. Young
but now his toll is unappreciated. He
Is looked upon complacently He is

Mr.. Young characterized the Canadian
agreement as calamity and said that
the blame for it should be placed upon
the shoulders of men who call themselves
insurgents. He said: The insurgents
having been defeated in Congress, de-
cid"d to carry their factional grievances
out to the people, not for the sake of the
people, but in order TO whip another fac
ton and establish new leaderstips They
lnfuriated the people. Some great news

The mournful part OF it is that these
insurgents were from the prairie states.

The insurgents took the commercial lives

Would Lower American Wheat

instead of the price of Canadian wheat
being raised to the American level. he
said, the great Canadian surplus would
lower the price of American wheat to the
Canadian level. The immense business in
foods which, after great effort, Canada
had built up with Britain, he asserted.
would be abandoned for the sake of get
ting the United States market, and this
market might be taken away at any time
Then Canada would find that some other
country had usurped the British market
The pHlp and paper provision in the
agreemtnt, Mr.. Sifton affirmed, was an
adro1t bonus to the provinces to abandon
the regulations they had made to prevent
the expectation of pulp wood.
Last spring Canada was being menaced
by the United States with a club Now
the relations a year hence? There could
tions. AT any moment some point OF fric-
ton might occur which would make an
attack on Canada popular move for one
OF tine American political parties.
Free trade in farm products, Mr.. Sifton
continued, was bound to lead to a de.
mand by the farmers for free trade in
the manufactured articles which they
consumed, and that demand could not be
resisted. The adoption of this agreement
would be commercial union with the
United States. When threatened with
the imposition of the American slrtax
last spring Canada should have stood
firm. 1t had not done so. but the wrong
path should be followed no further.

Quotes President Taft.

He put it through. Let him speak
for himself He says he and his party
favor this proposal. because it leads
to annexation. What did Mr.. Taft,
leader of the republican party, say?
Canada is a strong country; it has a
great stOrehouse of natural resources.
he says that it has been pursuing a
strong and successful policy OF de-
yelopment, but is now at the parting
of the ways. Therefore, he says, be-
fore Canada is irrevocably fixed in the
policy leading to the consolidation and
strengthening of the British empire we
must turn her from her course"
MI. Sifton, in reopening the reciproc-
ity debate, uttered a comprehensive
condemnation of the agreement He
said that heretofore Canada had been
burden to the British empire. It
was just beginning to be Of some use.
NOW the government has gone in for
an arrangement which would turn
Canada from the path which leads to
the capital of the British empire to
the path which leads to Washington"
Among the undesirable consequences
Mr.. Slfton foresaw was the destruction
or the Canadian meat packing business
by the American combine against which
Australia was now taking action Every

troiled from Cllicas he asserted

DESERTER is CAPTURED.
Howard l.. Quinn, After Evading
Federal Authorities for Several
Months Is Taken Into Custody.

Having taken French leave from
the battleship Maryland two months
ago, because he was dissatisfied with
the treatment he was receiving in the
naval service, Howard l.. Quinn, who
has been living here for several
weeks with Babe, a habitue of the
tenderloin district, was arrested
Friday morning by Sheriff Grain as a
deserter from the navy.
The crusade that was started by
the grand jury several days ago
against persons who have been wax
ing fat off the earnings of women who
lead a life of shame lead to Quinn S
capture. While Quinn was under
going a severe inquisition before the
grand jury as to his habits and man
ner of living, information was CLEAN
ed by the police officers which lead
to the apprehension of the young
man on felony charge. Eighteen
months in federal prison is the penal
ty imposed for desertion.
After he was taken into custody,
Quinn made a complete confession
admitting that he was wanted by the
government for desertion. He stated
that he had not followed any occupa-
ton since his arrival in Ely, but
claimed that he had made applica-
tion to superintendent Duddleson of
the Nevada Northern for a position,
but without actual encouragement.
The accused prisoner said that
Duddleson had been acquainted with
his father at Pocatello. where he was
raised. and that he had promised to
assist him in obtaining employment.
He said that he had enlisted in the
navy in May 1910, and after sixteen
months service, decided to escape at
the first opportunity.
Quinn is being held In detinue at
the county Jail, pending the receipt
of instructions from the captain of
the Maryland, the ship on which he
was stationed.

Before the largest crowd that ever

plete with sensational playing and
the series for the worlds champion
ship.
Fans began to form in line Friday
afternoon, intending to eat and sleep
at the gate until they could be ad-
mitted to the grounds. Before mid
night a crowd of 5000 persons had
gathered at the park, but a major
ity were sightseers. 1t is estimated
that 500 ticket seekers were in line,
and their number kept growing. Late
trains Friday night brought great
crowds, greater crowds, many said,
than for the Vanderbilt cup race, the
Dewey parade, or the Hudson-Fulton
celebration Two dollar seats were
selling for $500 and more at the
regular hotel ticket offices.
How many got into the hands of
speculators is mystery. Secretary
Bruce of the National Commission
said the supreme council of baseball
would meet tomorrow and that the
ticket scandal might be considered.
When the gates were opened at
noon yesterday, there were $4,000
people seeking admission to the park,
many of whom were women. After
the last seat in the bleachers had
been filled, five thousand people in
the waiting line who were anxious
