LOVE MAKES IT HOT
FOR STAT|SC|AN
Santa Fe statlscian Denies That Hook
or Haaerman Conferred WITH
Him Regarding Rates.

Oklahoma City, June 1.-Colonel
Jack Love, chairman of the corpora
tion commission, enlivened dull ses-
sion of the grain rate hearing Wednes-
day afternoon when he asked Statis-
tician Peabody of the Santa Fe rail-
road directly if Attorneys Hook and
IHagerman, the former a son of federal
Judge, were not in Judge Hooks apart
ments when Peabody was making COM
putations at the request of the court.
The conference in question between
Judge Hook and Peabody was just
prior to the announcement that the
Oklahoma freight rates had been en-
joined Members of the corporation
commission have asserted that Judge
Hook quoted literally from Peabody
in his opinion Attorneys Hook and
Hagerman were counsel for the rail
Iroads in the rate cases.
In reply to Colonel Loves question
Peabody said that neither of the at
torneys named was in the room, and
denied that he knew Judge Hook:
son.
When the Santa Fe man had practi
cally completed his regular testimony
Wednesday afternoon, he stated, fol
the benefit of records, that the Hool
conference which was brought out il
Tuesdays session was held at the re
quest of Judge Hook, who announce,
his desire from the bench in opel
court. Peabody was of the opinion
that Attorney General West heard tn
Judge make the request.
Commissioner Henshaw inquired
Peabody and Hagerman were nc
members of a party of Santa Fe of
cials who accompanied some feders

Henshaw referred to resolution il
troduced in congress later calling fl
all investigation of the incident an
the impeachment of one of the Judge

HOPE TO GET VOTE
ON WOOL SCHEDULE
Harrison Declares Nebraskan Is Mere
ly Fighting For WeILEstabIished
Democratic Principle.

Washington, ID. c., June l. - The
democratic wool tariff bill, prepared
by the ways and means committee of
the house, was presented to the demo-
cratic caucus at nine o'clock today.
The bill makes reduction of from a
half to two-thirds in all wool duties.
Raw wool itself, which was free in the
previous democratic tariff bills, is
given duty of twenty per cent ad
yalorem, equivalent to from three to
five cents a pound.
The fight between the advocates of
free wool and those who favor duty
for revenue only continued hot today.
Chairman Underwood of the ways and
means committee, whose bill proposed
a reduced tariff on wool, is confident
that w. ]. Bryans advocacy of free
wool will not materially change the
vote in the caucus. Many politicians
take Bryan's entrance into the fight as
a fore-runner of further activities of
the Nebraskan in 1912. There is much
discussion as to whether this activity
will extend to another candidacy for
the presidential nomination. An eff
fort will be made to reach vote on
wool, in the caucus today.

Washington, d. c., June 1.-Follow-
ing the declaration of war over the
wool schedule with Mr.. Bryan, pro-
testant against revenue BILL and Rep
resentative Underwood, the majority
leader of the house, commanding the
revenue forces, the opponents of free
raw wool last night after day of con-
ferences, said Mr. Bryan would be
overwhelmed in the party caucus to-
day
"The issue created by Mr.. Bryan
has been met squarely," said Mr.. I'M
derwood, chairman of the ways and
means committee which drafted the
wooden bill, and ] have thoroughly
canvassed the situation today. Mr..
Bryan's attempt to dictate to this
house what it should do has made con-
verts to our cause. The caucus will
be called to order at noon by the eau
Gus chairman, Representative Burle-
son of Texas. It may be that the dis
cussion will be prolonged so far that
a vote will not be reached.
If necessary the caucus will be con-
tinued Friday and the house adjourn
ed when it meets Friday noon. Dem
ocratic leaders are, not disposed to
cut off debate in the caucus and want
all the party disputes aired before the
bill is reported.
Representative Harrison of New
York, free raw wool member of the
ways and means committee who has
stood steadfastly by Mr. Bryan, yes
terday answered Mr.. Underworld S
statement of Tuesday Mr.. Harrison
said revision of the cotton schedule
is to follow the wool revision, and he
estimated that a reduction in cotton
duties would bring an increase of rev,
enues Of possibly $12,000000.
why, then" he asked, from a
revenue standpoint is it necessary to
levy cent of tax on raw wool?"
'Mr. Bryan is not trying to dictate
to the ways and means committee
Mr. Harrison continued, NOR to the
democratic house on the wool ques
tion He is merely fighting for one
j of the best established of democratic
principles"

is 1T GAMBLING?

The stock of the American Tobacco
Company is bought and sold on the
market, as is also the stock of rail-
roads, telegraph and mining com
panies, ETC., the price of which like
that of grain. meat, ETC., fluctuates.
Senator Swanson, as private citi-
zen, having little loose change in
his pockets, thought to add to the
pile by buying a few hundred dollars
worth of this stock, which he did and
sold the same later, when the price
increased, and this he did twice, and
does not deny it. If his conduct is
censurable then SO is the conduct of
thousands of other good men, all over
the land, who dare to invest their
surplus money in stocks and bonds of
various and numerous stocks now on
the market. If this sort of invest
ment is gambling, then neither Mr..
Swanson nor any other good man has
tn right to engage any of it. If the
element of chance entering in
makes it gambling then there are
very few honest forms of Investment,
not even farming or merchandising.
but Mr.. Swanson was United
States Senator. True, but the deals
were made, as we understand it, dur
ing vacation, Congress not in session,
the American Tobacco Company not
being tried for any crime at this
time, and doing business as a corpor
alton, right or wrong, under the laws
of the United States. These stocks
were bought, held only short time
and sold, and there the transactions
ended.
Is this another tempest in tea.
pot or more hot air which will later
evaporate? We await developements.
