BOOK OF truth
READ AT TRIAL

Chicago, June 23.-Mildred Bridges
resumed her testimony today in the
trial Of Evelyn Arthur See, head of the
Absolute Life cult, who is charged with
abduction. Miss Bridges appeared
more composed than at previous days
of the trial and replied to the cues
tons in short crisp sentences. She
was CARRIED In simple white frock
and white hat and seemed to be the
coolest person in the crowded court
room.
Counsel for See examined Miss
Bridges, with view to showing that
her father had shown little concern
for her at times, and that while Mr..
Bridges was on a trip to the Pacific
coast he had neglected his daughter.
The hook of truth" was read into
the record at the conclusion OF Miss
Bridges examination, despite the OBJ
jections of Attorney Cantwell, repres-
enting See. Attorney Cantwell said
that the book belonged to the Abso-
lutte Life society and not to See. per-
sonally. CantwelI declared that the
reading Of the book would seriously
prejudice Sees case.
Members Of the jury became grave
as the reading of the book proceeded
and the interest OF the spectators in
the courtroom was tense. Certain
passages in the book advocated free
love and disregard OF the Bible.

MINI. FIREMEN
RAP RAILROADS

Owatonna, Mimi, JuEe 23.-The rail-
roads of Minnesota need expect no
further aid from Minnesota fireInen in
checking fires. This was fought out
at yesterdays session IT the state Fire
mems association. John Hoehn of
Chaska made the report for the trans
portation committee and reused the
convention to great excitement. He
related his efforts to get a special rail-
road rate for the delegates, each rail-
road assuring him that 1t was willing
to make rate If the others would.
Finally he was referred to the Western
Traffic association headquarters, where
he was told no rate could be made be-
cause all the Minneapolis roads had
stated they wanted no special rate
made. Inasmuch as the upper Min
nesota departments who had to travel
the greatest distance TO the convention
and who furnished large part OF the
effective fire lighting force at the time
of the forest fires and have had a
E-eat deal of railroad property, 1t was
the opinion Of the committee, as ex-
pressed by Mr.. Hoehn. that hereafter
1t would be well to let the railroads
protect their own property from for
est fires since they show no apprecia-
ton of the work of the firemen. The
convention cheered loudly

MASSES SEE
ROYAL PAIR
King and Queen Make Complete
Circuit Of London

London. June 23.--King George and
Queen Mary today showed themselves
to the masses as distinct from the more
favored classes who were able to oh
tain access to the circumscribed area
Of yesterdays pageant.
Today's procession was on an even
greater scale than thar of the corona
tien. The route was more extended,
including circuit OF some Of the most
populous districts Of the capital, and
the crowds that looked on were COR
respondingly greater.
Then, too, their maJesties were ac-
companied by larger escorts. The
scenes along the route were to a great
extent repetition Of those or yester-
day, with a greater crowd of specta-
tors.
The procession formed in the yard
of Buckingham palace and adjacent
streets at o'clock and started two
hours later. The royal party made
stately progress from Buckingham
palace, between lines of cheering
crowds and made complete circuit
of London.

NO LEADERS RECOGNIZED
SENATE WITHOUT LEADERS AND
WITH NO ORGANIZATION IN
CONTROL LOOKS FORWARD TO
WEEKS or pREARY DEBATE ON
TARIFF QUESTION.

Washington. D. c., June 2S.--
The senate agreed today to, vote
next Monday on the Root amend
ment to the wood pulp and paper
schedule of the Canadian reciproc-
ity bill.
The proposal for the vote Mon
day was made by Chairman PEN
rose of the finance committee, there
was no opposition. Senate win not
be in session tomorrow and PEN
rose explained that he was anxious
to dispose of the amendment.
Washington, d. c., June Chair
man Penrose of the senate committee
on finance, said today that the Cam
adam reciprocity bill would not fail by
reason of the new coalition between
the insurgent republicans and the
democrats, which placed the regular
republicans in the minority.
Speaking of that coalition he said:
fIt is a rope of sand and 1t will not
hold. The performance of the insurg-
day was effective for a time, but the
differences between the two elements
are so radical that the combination
will not continue and if the purpose
OF 1t was to defeat Canadian reciproci-
ty. it will fail"
with the tariff question dumped
into the senate in connection with reci-
procity a delay is to be expected, but
in the end reciprocity will go through.
and it will remain to be seen what shall
be done With tariff bills now before the
senate and those yet to be presented
The outlook in the senate is for a
long and somewhat dreary period of
debate, with no visible prospect of re-
lief, under the present condition. With
no party in control and no leadership
recognized, no one can say in advance
what is going to happen or when any
thing may transpire out of the ordi-
nary.
The regular republicans control the
finance committee. and eight members
of that faction, constituting the ma
5ority OF the COMMITTEES. ere standing
together on most of the questions OF
party management But nothing has
the recent occurrences as that they
have no party majority behind them in
the senate. consequently while the COM

action is without vital force and inef-
fective.
Before the senate adjourns today it
Is expected that the Root amendment

HOPKINS HAS
Forgotten
Man Defeated By Loriner, Close
Mouthed Before Committee
CANT PLACE CORRUPTION
REFUSES TO ANSWER WHEN
ASKED IF HE KNEW WHO USED
MONEY TO BEAT HIM-sAYs
PUBLIC HAS NO USE FOR A MAN
WITH A GRIEVANCE.

Washington, d. c., June 23.-Al-
though former Sen. Albert j. Hopkins,
on the day Senator Lorimer was elect
ed to the senate heard rumors of the
use of money in accomplishing that
result, he said today, he was unable
to put his finger" on any corruption.
Hopkins testified before the senate
committee investigating the Lorimer
election. Pressed to tell the commit
tee whether he had any reason to be-
lieve that any of republicans, who de-
serted him for senator Lorimer, had
done so because of improper influences
the witness declined to answer
Neither could he name any person
who could aid the committee, he de-
clared. He added that he had tried
to forget his defeat to the seat to
which he declared he was entitled say
ing that he was sure that the public
had no time for an man with griev-
ance.
Down to rock bottom, the senate
committee to investigate the election
of Senator Lorimer went today liter
ally speaking to conduct its work.
The first open session of the con-
vention was held in room in the
senate office building in which only
few could hear because of the noise
from the streets. The second day the
windows were closed to keep out the
noise but the committee nearly suf-
located. Today room was procured
in the basement where it was said
both noise and heat would be thing
of the past.
The hearing room is not the only
place of interest in connection with
the Lorimer Investigation, the witness
room in which those under subpoena
are asked to wait having an interest
all its own. Arch enemies, politically,
and some perhaps personally, ere
thrown together with little to amuse
themselves with but to look at each
other.

Washburn, N. D., June 2s.-The
prosecution sprung something Of a
surprise last night when they rested
their case without putting on all the
witnesses that were subpoenaed.
In presenting to the jury the outline
Of the defense, Bangs took occasion
to relate the life Of the defendant.
dwelling upon the fact that he had
been reared in small towns, had little
knowledge of bookkeeping and little
experience in banking methods when
elected state treasurer. Also when he
took charge of the office only four
of the 245 state repositories were avail
able to him for use as such, as four
and no more had been checked out"
to him by his predecessor.
All of these four had deposits in
excess of the limit when he took
charge.
Bangs said the Rugby bank failure
left doubtful papers in the hands of
the state treasurer and that this was
sent to the First State bank of Bow
bells to be collected and then to be
kept on account for the state.
Bangs said that the prosecution had
already offered In evidence almost all
of the books and files OF the state
treasurer's office and that the defense
would offer the rest.
He said Mrs Mitchell was mistaken
in some Of the evidence but that he
could not say whether her mistakes"
were intentional or otherwise. He re-
ferred to her once as ELLEN" but lat
er used the full name.
He said the defense could and would
explain many things brought out by
the prosecution which made intentional
wrong apparent and would show II to
be only an error in bookkeeping caus-
ed by confusing conditions in the Of
flee and between the treasurers office
and other state offices.
