Senator Borah said the land laws as a
whole are archaic and should be over

Charge \ Sainst brother of Assistant \t.

WASHINGTON. July 20 Something o,
a sensation was sprung at to-dav's session
of the House Committee on Expenditures
in the Post Office Department when f.. q.
Lewis, president of the Lewis Puhlshin q
Company Of St Louis. charged that mail
order houses throughout the country
have been exploited by Leonard Good
win of Chica go, a brother of r. p. Good
win. Assistant Attorney General for the
Post Office Department Lewis told the
committee that back in 1905, when he was
starting his Peoples United States Bank
a mail order concern. he became involve
with the Post Office Department.

name Of Thomas ID. Atkins Of Rochester.

tives I employed and who obtained desk

that systematic business in fraud orders
was conducted from his Office"
Lewis added that through other de-
tectives employed to make friends in the
ST. Louis post Office he learned that the
post office inspectors in st. Louis had been
instructed from the Department in Wash
ington to put Lewis out of business. The
committee seemed exceedingly interested
in the alleged exploitation Of mail order
concerns as charged by Lewis, and the
hearing will be resumed in an effort to
throw additional light on the proposition.

FOR CRIMINAL PRO TIONS.
Resolution Directing Attorney y.l;eneraI to
Proceed Against Oil and Tobacco Heads.

WASHINGTON. July 90 Senator Pom
creme Of Ohio called up in the Senate this
morning his resolution directing Attorney
General Wickersham to proceed under
he criminal section Of the Sherman anti
trust act against the individuals named
in the complaint OF the Government
against the Standard Oil Company and the
American Tobacco Company.
In calling up his resolution Senator
Pomercne said he was not criticising the
action Of the Department OF Justice in
instituting civil prosecutions, but he could
not understand and the American people
could not understand why no criminal
prosecutions had been begun.
He read a letter from correspondent
who said he was victim of the organiza-
tion built up by the Standard oil Company
declaring that score of failures of firms
IN his immediate section had been brought
about by Illegal actions on the part of his
tru-i Bankruptcy and suicide. he said.
had followed in the wake of such business
methods
The speaker thought there should be no
objection on the part of the Department of
Justice to the consideration of his resoIu-
ton. There should not be in this Govern
ment one rule for one class of citizens
and another rule for another class" he
said. Il therefore ask that this resohi-
tion b" placed before the Senate for pass
age"
senator Clark Of Wyoming questioned
the propricty of directing the legal officers
of the Government to take specitcatio ion in
a pending case. He asked that the reso-
luton be referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.
In explaining his support Of the resolu-
tion senator Borah of Idaho said he did
So because it suggested policy which
he favored He said the people had
received little substantial benefit from
the Sherman antitrust act. despite the
fact that several law suits had been begun,
under two party administrat ions. to
control the formation and operation of
combinations in restraint Of trade.
Senator Borah was particularly severe
in referring to one great corporation
which, he said. was organized with $780,
COO, 900 OF watered stock. in plain violation
of law
This corporation has apparently passed
beyond the control of the United States
Government, declared Senator Borah
in the newspaper advertisements pre-
ceding the formation Of the trust it was
plainly stated how the combine was to be
formed in violation of the Sherman anti
trust act
"Now il has become so powerful il ex-
ercises an almost controlling influence in
financial and industrial affairs and even
places its approval or disapproval upon
acts of the Congress OF the United States +"
At2o'clock the Senate took up consider
alton of the wool bill and the Pomerene
resolution went back on tho calendar
without a vote. The friends of the
measure practically prevented a vote by
continuing the debate until the close Of

| WASHINGTON, July 26.-The cross-eS-
| animation OF James kceley. general man
ager and editor OF the Chicago Tribune,
before the Senate Committee which is
investigating the election Of Senator
Lorimer, was completed to-day.
Judge f.. q. Harccv. counsel for Sena-
tor I,orimer, spent practically the entire
day in questioning Mr.. kceley about the
activity Of the Tribune in its fight against
Senator 1,orimer. Many of the uies-
tions were apparently intended to badger
the witness rather than elicit information
There were frequent digressions and at
times the proceedings lost dignity.
you were after Senator I.orimer, we're
you not?" asked Judge Hanecy
There is an incorrect implication in
your question" replied Mr.. keeley. "Thc
Tribune fought him because we believed
h" was malign influence in Illinois poll
tics and also bccaise we believed he was
not in possession of his scat in the United

asked

Where did you get them?" Judge

There was n general laugh at Judge

who was presiding temporarily in the ab-
sence of Chairman Dillingham;. warned
the spectators against demonstrations or
merriment
Senator Jones pointed out that yester-
day Mr.. keeley made the statement that
something had occurred since he came
TO Washington to make him change his
mind somewhat about the existence of the
documents which George O. CLAWS il said
to have purchased for the Tribune, and
which later he declined TO produce CLAWS
is now awaiting trial on n charge of en-
beh%lement made by the Tribune.
"A Mr.. Green. attorney for CLAWS,
came To me last week" explained Mr.
keeley. and said he had no desire to
compound felony. but that if I would
agree TO so to Col. Wilson. the District
Attorney, and ask him to be easy on
CLAWS ne would tell me where | could
obtain the documents which CLAWS
claimed to have purchased for the Tribune.
They had dwindled from trunkfu to a
memorandum book. I told him I would
do no such thing and that the indictments
had been handed down and that the
case was not in my control. | asked
him why he did not get the papers. and
he said he could not obtain them without
search warrant. asked him why he did
not go to the District Attorneys Office
for n search warrant. When first came
from Chicago ! was confident that I had
been goldbricked. hut after Mr. Green
came TO me l was not quite so certain
about it,"
Mr.. keeley told of libel suit filed
q gainst the Tribune by a woman in Iowa.
