Two w~ell-known local labor leaders
today expressed themselves regarding
the sentencing of the MeNamaras.
They thought the wreckers got what
they deserved. They defended Samuel
Gompers against Detective Burns's at
tackl
Henry r. Hilfers. secretary of the
Essex Trades Council. said:
''They got what they deserved and
il anybody else was concerned | hope
they will be found out and summarlly
dealt with.
1.-The attack on Samuel Gompers is
unfair and unjust, rs l am sure he
had no knowledge of the affair or the
guilt of the men.
"Mr. Gompers had no knowledge that
the Structural Iron Workers ~organiza-
ton had appropriated any money for
such purposes, as 1t Is claimed. The
American Federation of Labor has no
control over the lance of any in
ternational body affiliated with the A.

tional organization audits its own ac-
counts.

LUM LOSES FIGHT
To BAR EVIDENCE
IN SE|BERT SUIT
Lawyer for Woman Beaten Over
Important Point in Sensa-
tiOnaI Divorce Action.

In lighting over the admission of
new evidence in the divorce suit
brought by Henry F.. Seibert Ralph
E. Lum, attorney for Mrs. Seibert,
today admitted his inability to cope
with the mass of evidence obtained
by Seibert and his attorney, former
Judge George II. Lambert.
A jolt was handed Mrs. Seibertis
counter suit for maintenance when
Vice-Chancellor Stevens admitted the
evidence.
II can't beat it, said Lum, as the
argument between attorneys waxed
warm. They can get a carload of
witnesses with the money of the de-
Tense. They have the cleverest detec-
tive I've ever seen working on a
case
Stevens not to admit the new evidence
Lum said;
They've got unlimited means, and if
sibly beat it."
The trouble started when one of
Lum's witnesses, w. c. Dorge, of the
Hotel Bryant, New York, changed to
a witness for Mr.. Seibert. Dorge had
been on the stand and had produced a
hotel register that contained three
names, supposedly written by Gustave
Woelfe on May "a, 1910. Woelfe is
the man named in the divorce suit. .
These names tended to prove that
Woel1ea with Mr. Seibert and the
chauffeur, Cisco. spent that night at
the hotel with three women.
The case which had been built UP
by Attorney Lum in regard to the
Hotel Bryant affair fell to pieces as
Witness Dorge took the stand.
Dorge said that Woelfle called at
the hotel and asked for the register Of
May Ia, 1910.
"Woelfe stated" said Dorge, that
If he could prove hat he was in New
York that night he would win a case
from his boss and obtain a large sum
of money
Woelle told Dorge that he registered
under the name of ~Lowenstein, but
there was no Lowenstein in the reg
lister on that date. Woelfe, according
to Dorge's testimony, picked out three
names apparently in the same hand
writing and copied them on a pad,
Woelhe testified in the Seibert case
that the handwriting was his and that
he and Mrs. Seibert stopped at that
hotel. But the handwriting, it was
stated, did not correspond to that of
Woelfe's.
Attorney Lum ordered his client,
Mrs. Seibert, from the courtroom as
Attorney Lambert was summing up the
case. Mr.. Lambert had just read from
the evidence that Mrs. seibert on one
occasion threw a bottle at Mr.. Seibert.
81 did not. He threw 1t at me-" cried
Mrs. Seibert as she jumped to her feet.
Attorney Lum said: Leave the
room, Mrs. Seibert," and she left in a
rage.
MIR. Seibert and Woelhe were not In
court today.
Both sides rested at noon, and At
torney- Lambert began his argument
for absolute divorce for Seibert.
The divorce suit was brought on
statutory grounds as a counter suit to
one brought by Mrs. Seibert for main
teranee Seibert is a wealthy New
arker.

TOO MUCH REFORM

Senator Cummings, addressing a
graduating class recently, said with
regard to the spirit of unrest abroad
today, that it remained for the
future to say whether it shall be
Gained by law or end in revolution.
An English correspondent writing
to his London journal discusses this
remarkable declaration and wonders
why the American people should
be so restless. According to the
demogogues and inf1amers, he says
an outsider would think the coun-
try was tax-ridden and going to
the demnition bow-wows. Consid-
ering the good conditions generally
prevailing, attention is called to
the reckless and careless assertions
made about the courts, the alleged
corruption of the lawmakers, and
other conditions. This English OBJ
server said he thought it was time
for the American people to be shak-
ing off their morbid habit of self
reproach and taking brighter out
look on life.

respect to hay. We have only two

respect to hay. We have only two
thirds of normal crop; Canada s
crop is notably fine and heavy.
And so at Chicago they are already
using hay imported from Canada.
But they must pay the tariff duty
of 81 a ton. There should be no
such duty.
The greatest benefit to be enjoyed
by both countries will be derived
from the removal of many of the
irritating trade barriers, 3 900 miles
long, which have excited more or
less ill-feeling between the two Ieo-
Piles so closely resembling each other
in intelligence, standards and aims.
To Mr.. Taft must be given the
credit, not only for making the
agreement, but also for effectively
promoting the approval of it by the
people and by Congress in his public
addresses. Whether he sought thus
to break the malign political force
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff revision
blunder, or was guided only by the
principles of broad craftsmanship,
he should have been followed and
supported by his party. There
should have been a Republican ma
jority for the bill in the Republican
House, and the Republican majority
in the Senate should have passed it
before March 4th. Then this tire
some special session would have
been avoided. But the number of
Republicans who have voted against
it, in the Senate, as we'll as in the
House, exceeds the number counted
on the other side, and 80 majority
have expressed their disapproval of
the most memorable achievement
of the President whom their party
elected. This is political blunder
that deserves to be classed with the
Payne-Aldrich revision. -Independ-

MAKE IT A GO

Next Thursday every business
place in Kennewick will be closed
for the trip up the river. AS the
trip is wholly business affair, for
the up-building of Kennewick,
every merchant should do all in
his power to make the trip a big
success, not only by giving it his
sanction, but by his presence. Get
the spirit of the thing-it's for your
particular beneft-close the store
and take the trip-and bring all
the clerks.
