coo for immediate use when 1t was urgently needed in the senatorial election The man who asked him for the sIO.0OO, he said. was Edward Hines, a millionaire lumberman of Chicago.
 In his conversation with Mir. Funk. Mir. Hines had said the man who would receive the contributions Of those who consented to reimburse the original contributors to the pot was a certain Edward Tnden. a Chicago packer.
 Mir. Hines made public statement denying sat he had ever asked Mir. Funk for the money or that he knew anythipg of such a fund. The conR mittee adjourned for a week. and re sumed on Thursday the examination of witnesses, MT. Tilden denied that he had collected any money in s1o,- 600 amounts for relmbursIng Lorimer contributors and swore he knew nothing of such a fund and was not it's treasurer.
 The pertinence of other testimony was due to Mir. Hines denial of the Funk statement Chicago lumber dealer swore that soon after Lori mer's election Hines boasted not only of having elected Lorimer but O. having beaten Taft in dictating the Payne Aldrich rate on lumber. 9th CT evidence indicated that lines had made highly significant admissions while in Marquette in the upper pe- ninsula of Michigan.
 This evidence is presented in the unsatisfactory form of affidavits sub scribed to by persons who heard what MT. Hines said As they live in another state. they cannot be com pelled to appear in Springfield. That fact alone makes plain the obligation resting on the United States senate.

 It is more than the senate's right to institute another inquiry. It is is duty
 Notwithstanding the defeat of the insurrectos al Agua Prieta they seem to have very quickly appeared more numerously than ever before
 in many localities in Sonora. They entered Nacozari yesterday for the first time since the insurrection be gan. 4 number of Americans have passed through various companies of insurrectos since the battle of Agua Prieta, but no instance of mo Hesitation or interference has been reported, Americans. apparently. have nothing to fear from either federals or rebels, except the bullets they shoot across the border. Word comes from Phoenix to the effect that the prohibitionists of that city are showing an ugly disposition
 because of their rout in that city last Tuesday, as a result of the To- cal option elee...5a and they are threatening the city with a reped- ton of the election after the expira- tion of sixty days, which they claim they are privileged 10 do by filing the required petition under the seg- .regation local option law. Is it pos lsible the Arizona statutes provided
 that a city may be torn by a wrack- ling campaign such as Phoenix has
 just gone through at intervals of only
 sixty days? If so we are very
 badly in need of a session of a leg
 islature when such a vicious law caa
