DENIES FAVORITISM
 II COTTON BEARS
Attorney Wise Also Admits Ignorance of Sugar
 Fraud Cases

Washington, June 1o.-An attempt was made today before the House committee on expenditures of the Department of Justice to show the indictment of certain cotton bulls for their alleged participa- tion in the so-called bull cotton pool of 1910 was due to an appeal to the govern ment by the cotton "bears| for help. The Investigators elicited little satisfactory testimony
 United States District Attorney Henry A. Wise denied that any favoritism was shown by his office to the brokers or spinners who were interested in keeping down the price of cotton as compared with that shown those who were en- deavoring to keep up the price. Attorney Ernest F. Baldwin, legal representative of a number of cotton merchants in New York, told the committee he had a mora l conviction' none of the government in formation about the "pool' came from any of his clients
 "I will say," added MT. Wise. half o | the information that comes to the district
 attorneys office is obtained from squeal-
 CTS. When they want protection they
 come to the government"
 Mr. Wise added he would prosecute
 .fhe hears' just as soon as he was fur
 nfshed with proof against those in his l jurisdiction.
 MT. Baldwin contradicted statements

.LOR|MER GETTING
 READY ID FIGHT Printing a Million Phamph- lets of His Speech
 of Defense

Chicago, June 10.-(Special) )-Senator Lorimer is having printed 100000 pam phlets containing the speech which he de- livered to the Senate in his own defense when the report of the first investigation into his election was under consideration.
 The work is being done by a Chicago printing house. The pamphlets are in tended for distribution throughout the state in order to influence public opinion in the senator's favor.
 It was said the million pamphlets print ed by the government were to be circu- lated throughout s1llinois under the .sena- tors congressional francks. Indications are that this plan has been abandoned, and that instead they will be mailed out with, paid postage or else distributed by his friends.
 1t is believed to indicate that in case he is unseated following the new investi- gation just begun, or in the case he de- cides to resign on the ground that he cannot expect fair hearing, he Will make an immediate appeal to the voters of the state for political rehabilitation.
 It is apparent that the senator is get ting ready for a big fight and one that he expects to begin soon.

POISONED COGNAc
 CAUSE OF MASSACRE
The TOrreOn Riots Resulted From Finding of Dead
 ly Drink

Mexico City, June 10.-A quantity of
 poisoned cognac, which the insurrectos
 secured upon sacking a government of-
 fee and which they drank in a Chinese restaurant, is alleged to have been the
 immediate cause of the slaughter of Chi
 nese in Torreon. This incident will
 doubtless become an issue in the adjudi- cation of the Chinese claim for indem-
 nifty.
 Months ago one Dr. Villareal was host at a dinner and dance to which many Americans, as well as MeXicans were in- yited Someone to whose interest 1t was to remove Dr. Villareal poisoned the
 drinks resulting in the death of one
 guest. The liquor was seized by the
 authorities and was stored in one of the offices sacked. The revolutionsts carried 1t with them to a Chinese restaurant, where they demanded food. Several of their number became i'll from drinking the cognac, but the suspicion fell on the Chinese, who were accused of having poi soned the cognac. The leaders of the revolutionists thereupon gave orders for the extermination of the Chinese, l The demands specified by the Pekir | government have been transmitted by tht | charge d'affaires, Shung Al Sune, to the Mexican foreign office, but the precise amount of the indemnity to be asked Is | not named.
 l local Chinese official declared today
 that l. was not impossible that the
 amount to be demanded might be as much
 as 10000 pesos for each one of the 3lt
 lives sacrificed throughout the republic,
 which would mean a total of 31,600, ,00O | pesos, about half the amount turned over | by I,imantour to his successor, the equiy- aent of $15,S0O000 gold.

MT. Underwood's Task

If Mir. Underwood is successful in car rying out his plans in the next session as he was during the special sesion, he will be the trongest democrat in the country without question. He will have many hard problems. He will have many difficult questions to solve. He will have many intricate tangles to unravel. There will be personal and party jealousies to contend with. He is facing the most difficult task that ever confronted states man or politician. It is fortunate per- haps that MT Underwood is not a poll tican.
 believe honestly that MT. Underwood had rather serve the people honestly and fairly than to be President This deter imitation and the recognition of his un- selishness by his colleagues and asso- ciates will help him greatly in accom- plishng his work in the next session.
 The next session of Congress will be devoted largely to politics. Three fac tions of the two houses will be pulling all the time in three different directions. The standpat republicans will continue busy with the task of protecting protec- ton and saving the scalp of the Presi- dent so long as he does not break over

if decide against the manufacturer he can take his case to court, where he is protected by the blind goddess. The manufacturer, therefore, has a decided advantage over the consuming public. This must not be overlooked. It Is for this reason that give the public the bene- fit of the doubt. I shall continue to do so in the future.
 Tt is tommyrot and folly for news papers or individuals to charge me with wearing a chip on my shoulder for any person or concern. I have no axe to grind, no favorites to play.
 "All I have ever asked is that the manufacturer obey the law; that, and no more, shall demand in the future.
 If the producer obeys the law, in letter end spirit. he will not have any trouble with the bureau of chemistry, but If he violates it and that fact becomes known to me, he will be prosecuted.
 Under the law I am required to find the facts. It is not for me to define the law. The court must do that. When the law says that certain ingredients shall not be used in the preparation of food, and I discover that they have been used, the manufacturer will hear from me. The law means just what it says in this regard.
 "I never have recommended and never will recommend. prosecution in a case where, in my opinion, the evidence is not sufficient to warrant a conviction. But 1t must always be a question of fact and not of law which shall determine whether a case shall be tried. The law is plain. When the facts show that a specified ar ticle is misbranded it is for the courts to determine any legal points which may be involved and not for any government officer outside of the courts. This is

Washington, October 25.-(Special.)- )-Dr. Harvey w. Wiley's enemies are jewels in his crown.
 Look up their record and you will find that they are men who do not want the enforcement of the pure food laws ac- cording to the letter of those laws.
 Dr. Wiley believes in protecting the peo- ple not only against known impositions, but it is his policy to give them the ben eft of any doubt. If there is a sus- picion that some particular brand of food or drug is deleterious to public health and purity he gives the people the bene- fit of the doubt.
 The manufacturing firm affected has re- course at law if the ruling of the bureau of chemistry is wrong If the bureau rules in favor of the manufacturer, and the ruling happens to be wrong, the consumer has no recourse Therefore, pr. Wiley believes in giving the consumer who Is helpless the benefit of all doubt

All. ARE TALKING ABOUT UNDERWOOD
  Complimentary Words in New York World WHAT FIGHT MEANS Says Senator Bankhead's Suggestion Will Get Respectful Hearing All Over the Country-Forget
 Sectionalism
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October 24.-(Special.) J. The New York World says editorially:
 "OscareW Underwood of Alabama is unquestionably of Presidential size. His leadership of. the democratic majority on the floor of the House has never been excelled for skill, force and defin- ite direction. It is a respectful hearing from all over tie country which Senator Bankhead of the same state will have in naming him for the democratic nom- ination.
 Has the time come when it is ex- redient for the democracy to nominate a southerner living in the south for the presidency? It has not been thought so since the civil war. It has not even been thought expedient to give the south second place on the ticket. The nearest approach to this was the nam ing on the Parker ticket in 1904 of Henry G. Davis of West Virginia. But that is essentially a northern state. Carlisle of Kentucky had few votes for President in the convention of 1881 and 1892; Blackburn of Kentucky and Tillman of South Carolina in 1896; Will liafllS Ol NlSSlSSlppi III lJUt. .Nbul they were merely complimentary.
 ''Yet the war Is over. A southern democrat and former Confederate soldier is chief justice of the United States supreme court by appointment of a republican President. The day may not be so far off when the last traces of the sectional line will be ob- liberated in American politics."

South Is Recognized

The south is just as much a part of this great country as New England or the Pa cifc coast country. It's business interests are just as important and when it's great strong men come to Congress they are given credit for their full worth and abil- ity.
 1t is but natural that the democrats of the east will hold their assumed political advantage as long as possible. They will put up all the candidates for high office SC long as they are allowed to do so by the democrats of the other sections of the co lntry. It is a sad fact that most of the arguments against the selection of a southern man for presidential candidate come from party leaders and newspa pers of the south. When the south itself for gets sectionalism and the prejudices en- 9endered by war that belongs to an- other generation it will get it. The north VIII claim all the advantage 1t can hold so long as those advantages are not con- tested,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-26
Presidential Recognition

The World in it's editorial calls attention to the appointment by republican Pres ident of two southern men to the highest and most responsible position in the gov ernment. These are lifetime positions and carry with them greater responsibility than the position of President One of these appointees fought against the Union in the war. One of them comes from the extreme southern edge of the south
 Even a republican President has not hesitated to honor southern ability and southern loyalty to the union. Will the people hesitate? No. It is the merest rot. And the people of the south are as much responsible for the unjust sen- timent as the north.
 Mir. Underwood's associates in Con gress who come from the north accord him just credit for his ability. They look to him for advice and leadership. They consider him as the natural leader on the floor and are glad to follow him. They do not hesitate to take direction from him in tariff matters because he is from the south. They recognize him for his ability, his safety and his wis., dom. Sectionalism has nothing to do with his leadership in the House.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-26
Sentiment Is Changing

But the time is passing when q man is a republican or a democrat because his father was. The American electorate is more independent and looks upon men and issues rather than party loyalty. The voter wants results. This is especially true in the coming campaign. The one issue is strongly defined. The ultra-pro- teetionist, be he democrat or republican, will vote for the candidate for President who Is pledged to that policy. It matters not whether that candidate comes from the north, south or west.
 The man who believes in Oscar Under woods policy of reasonable, sane revision of the tariff and conservative handling of the other big issues of government will vote for the Underwood type of candidate though he lives in New Hampshire.
 This may not be entirely true at the very next election, but we are rapidly ap- preaching that period and condition in American politics.

Mir, Underwood's Record

If Mir. Underwood emerges from the next session with the record for good work and party leadership that his closest friends and associates expect, 1t will be forgotten that he comes from the sunny south. --f
 MT. Underwood, representing an indus trial district second in this country only to Pittsburg, and in the center of what Is destined to be in the near future one of the most important textile manufact- uring sections of the country, will give no alarm to those democrats who earn estly desire the full industrial prosperity of the country.
 Mr. Underwood understands the needs of the business interests of this country as we'll as any man in Congress. and will do nothing for its permanent or real hurt While he understands the needs of business and is jealous of its perma. nent and continued prosperity, he also understands the just demands of the pub- lie. The people are willing to risk his judgment and business will not be crip- pied.
 His only desire is to secure an equit- able adjustment between producer and consumer and he will go a long way to- ward bringing this about if he can hold the support of his followers.

Forget Sectionalism

Sectionalism should have no further consideration in the selection of party leaders except that consideration that takes account of pivotal states. And then the fitness of the man should not be lost sight of.
 For instance, a man should not be selected from the state of New York on the sole ground that the vote of New York is needed to carry the election.
 Every man will admit that it has not been wise heretofore to select democratic candidates from the south. The south has been solidly democratic and its fight ing chance lay in the winning of repub- lican and independent voters in the north ard west
