In the Interior the Liberals Will Garry
on Campaign of Education on
Reciprocity.

Ottawa, May 20.-Parliament yester-
day finished practically all the business
of the session except the passage OF
the bill ratifying reciprocity. The
house of commons adjourned until July
Is and the Senate Until August 8.
Outgoing trains throughout the day

erals and conservatives, hurrying TO
their constituencies to begin the cam
paign on reciprocity. Both sides have
arranged programs of meetings covering
practically the whole recess The lib
erai members will conduct campaign
of education in favor of the ratification
Of the reciprocity pact and the opposi-
tion members will endeavor to arouse
the country TO histility against it.
Opposition leader Borden leaves next
month for three weeks tour of the
Canadian west. He viii speak at two
meetings each day and it is reported
that he will have lively tour as the
grain growers are organized pro.reci-
procty demonstrations at each speak

eide whether it will attempt to force
a vote this autumn or dissolve parlia-
ment and appeal to the country in a

RACE SUICIDE Is
GROWING In FRANCE
Birth Rate Lowest in Century, Points
Out DR.. Bertillon, Paris Stats
tician.

Paris, May 20.-The Journal officia
publishes an article by DR.. Jacques Der
tillon, chief statistician of Paris, call.
ing attention to the disastrous condi.
tions shown by the birth and death sta
tistics in France for 1910. The com,
plete figures are as follows:
Marriages 303,2s0; divorces, 1900;
births, 774,35s; deaths, 703,777.
The births are the lowest for cen
fury. In 1859 the birth numbered 1918
600. They dwindled to $4,000 in 1862,
and numbered $4,000 in 1887.
The number Of deaths in 1910 was
exceptionally low; yet the excess Of
births over deaths was only 70,6sl, com
pared with $4,000 in Germany.
DR.. Bertillon concludes by declaring
that there is no reason, physiological
or economic, which prevents France from
increasing as other nations, and no mo-
tive for her to resign herself shamefully
to race suicide.

WON'T STOP REVOLUTION
Said Vice President Corral of Mexico
about Diaz' Resignation.

Paris, May 20.-'I do not believe that
the resignation of President Diaz will
really stop the revolution" This EN-.
phatic declaration was made recently
by Vice President Corral of Mexico,
whose resignation, along with that Of
President Diaz, has been profered by
the Mexican administration as a con.
cession to the reyolutionists.
Senior Corral, who has been i'll for
several days, said that he had received
no official adviees or personal messages
from President Diaz, covering the lat.
est developments in Mexico and until he
heard directly he would make no de-
cision with reference to his resignation.
Nevertheless he intimated that he fore
saw a possibility that the condition of
his health might necessitate his retire
ment from Office.
let me say this again, the retire
ment of President Diaz will not end the
revolt, because Madero's authority ex-
lists only in the state of Chihuahua.
Senior Corral added: "1n the other
disturbed provinces he has no real in
fluence. ! believe it almost certain that
the revolution will continue throughout
the affected areas, at least in guerilla
form"
Asked his opinion as to how an end
could be put to the revolution which he
predicts, the vice president replied that
the only way was for the federal army
to pursue the rebels persistently and
constantly until they finally conquered
them.

Lord Michelham of Hellingly Buys Relic
That Cost the Earle His
Life.

London, May Seventeen thousand
dollars was paid at auction at Christie's
by Lord Michelham of Hellingly, for the
tragical relic known as THE Essex
Ring" which was given to the Earl
of Essex by Queen Elizabeth as tok.
en- OF her regard, and which, according
to tradition, was to be returned TO the
queen il her friend was imperilled. The
ring was to insure her protection. When
the earl was condemned to death, so
the story goes, he entrusted the ring
for its return to the queen, to the Coun-
tess of Nottingham, who, however, intiu-
eneed by enemies Of the earl, failed to
execute her mission. Elizabeth, offended
at not receiving a plea for mercy from
the earl, permitted him to suffer the
penalty of death
The ring has since been in the pos
session OF the descendants of the Earl
of Essex, and was sold by the executors
of Lord John Thyme

VIOLATION
OF THE LAW
Charged by the Government
in Beginning Suit Against
SO-CALLEDLUMBER TRUST
Conspiracy Is Alleged--A Gigantic Com
bination, 1t Is Stated, has
Tried to Throttle
Trade.
SO-CALLED LUMBER TRUST

New York, May 20.--Sweepinl
charges of a gigantic conspiracy tc
maintain high prices, to blacklist GER
tain concerns and to violae generally
the Sherman antitrust law are made in
government suit filed by Attorney
General Wickersham in the United
States court here yesterday against the
so-called lumber trust.
Ten trade organizations and more than
$50 individuals are named as defendants
In this suit, which may be the first OF
several planned by the department OF
Justice against combinations of retail
ers in staple commodities and the nee
essaries of life to prevent the ultimate
consumer from buying anywhere except
from local retailers.
The governments suit is replete with
sensational allegations, and it is as
serted that builders and consumers of
lumber the country over are at the
mercy OF the retailers organizations in
different sections of the United States.
The suit filed yesterday is against
the Eastern States Retail Lumber Deal
ers' association, which is the central
body of nine local organizations cover
ing five states, the District of Column
bia and the cities of Baltimore and
Philadelphia.
Attorney General Wickersham and his
special assistant, Clark McKercher, have
devoted more than a year to gathering
the evidence on which the suit is based.
This evidence includes copies of the
alleged agreements, blacklists and re-:
ports of the various organizations,
branding wholesalers and retailers who
have dared to violate the rules of the
association as "poachers," Mavericks"
''scalpersn and "illegitimate Dealers" to
whom "short shrift" must be applied
This is the governments first anti
trust suit conforming to the supreme
courts Standard Oil decision in that it
alleges "undue" and unreasonable" re-
straint of trade of the consumer and
the manufacturer. 1t is the evident pur-
pose of the plea to confne the charge
largely to that feature, small stress
being placed upon the restraint OF trade
among the conspirators themselves.
The government charges in brief that
by an elaborate system OF blaeklisting,
not only individual consumers but some
of the largest industrial corporations
have been prevented from dealing direct
" with wholesalers. BY alleged unlaw-
full agreements and acts, it is charged
that ali competition for the trade OF
the contractor, the builder, the manulfac-
turer of finished lumber products and
the individual consumer has been thrown

Senate Sentiment for Second
Investigation
INCLINED T0FAV0RA
By Regular Committee--Di Vote Bill
to Be Urged by Borah--He Ex-
poets to Reach Test on it
Next Week.

Washington, May 20.--The indications
are that the Senate will refer the La
Toilette resolution providing for sec
ond investigation OF the election of Will
liam Lorimer as senator from Illinois
to the committee on privileges and elec--
tions, The Wisconsin senator, it will
be recalled. provides in his resolution
that the investigation shall be made by
special committee of five first term
senators, whom the resolution names
A careful canvass of the Senate made
this week by interested senators seems
to show plainly that the sentiment in
the Senate is in favor OF having the in
yestigation made through the regular
channels, Senator LaFollette is not GER
tain that he viii press for vote on
his resolution next Monday, although
he will call it up that day. The anti,
LoFimer senators are considering the adj
visibility of expressing some views on
the case before they permit the resolu-
tion to come tn a vote.
Apparently sentiment in the Senate
IS now strongly in favor of second
investigation. The action of the IT,
linois state Senate in forwarding to
the United States Senate all the evi.
dence taken before the investigating
COMMITTEES. of the state Senate has tend
ed to impress the United States with
the Importance OF making another in
vestgation. LaFollette expects to have
the evidence taken in the recent inyes-
tigation in Illinois by the time he calls
up his resolution While it cannot be
said that any definite plan for the in
vestigatien has been agreed upon,
there is a sort of tentative understand.
ing that a committee from the com
mittee on privileges and elections shall
sit during the interval between the end
ing of the regular session in December
and be prepared to report to the SEN
ate early in the regular session.
Senator Berah OF Idaho, who is in
charge of the resolution for consti-
tutional amendment providing for the
direct election Of senators said yester-
day that he expects to obtain a vote on
this resolution next week. The friends |
of the resolution say, after a canvass
of the Senate, that the vote on the |
amendment-the amendment |
which would reserve federal control of |
the election of senators-may be tie. I
This would require tie vice president to
cast the deciding vote. 1t is taken for \
granted that he would vote for the |
amendment

Gave Them 10 to 5 Victory
Over Randolph High
ERRORS WERE NUMEROUS
Cutler Started to Twirl for Spauldinl
but Let Williams Finish After
Home Team Had Game Well
in Hand.

With the sting Of last seasons two
defeats still lingering in their memories
the nine baseballists representing
spaulding high school lured the aggre-
cation from Randolph high school to
the driving park yesterday afternoon
and there proceeded to inAiet 10 to s
drubbing upon their erstwhile van
quishers. Sixteen safe bingles, five of
them doubles and total of Is stolen
bases tell half the story of Randolph's
inglorious attempt to repeat the record
of 1910.
Cutler started the game for the locals
and after he had things well in hand,
he retired in favor OF Williams, who
managed to keep the visitors at arms
length and usually farther away.
Stuart, Williams and jackson divided
batting honors by touching the opposing
twirlers for three safe ones each. Kene-
flick and 0gston followed closely with
two hits each.
A husky young box artist named
Sharp started in for Randolph In the
first round he was fortunate in pull
ing out OF hole with the aid of a
double completed by Hyzer and Rowell
The second inning, however, saw Hagan
Jackson and Ogston slamming out safe
ones and when the dust cleared away
the husky one was three runs to the
bad Another trio of runs followed in
the third on hits by Kenefck, Stuart
and jackson In the fourth Williams
and Kenefck figured in bingles that
registered another pair.
If any doubts remained as TO who
would get the verdict at the finish,
they were all dispelled by the end Of
the sixth inning The fifth witnessed
the piling up of six tallies through
the efforts of Stuart, 0gston and Milne.
To aid in the work of destruction,
Sharp allowed Hagan to walk and
Martin and Sault figured in miserable
errors A series Of clouts, miscues and
stolen bases came in the sixth and
added five runs that brought the
fetal up TO 10 The locals paused for
breath at this state, and before the
craving for another swat-fest had re-
turned, the umpire called the affair off
in order 20 allow the visitors to catch
their train.
Randolph scored run in the first
when Austin got life at first on
Hagan's error, going to second on
Angels sacrifice and scoring when
Rowell pushed grounder to Williams,
who fielded il to first With a man
down in the fifth, SauIt drew a pass
and Austin was safe at first on an
error by short. Both hot footed it for
the plate, when Rowell clouted out
double into center The latter scored
on Kenehck's miscue Angel and Bruce
famed and the side retired A score
in the sixth was secured on singles by
Averill and Gay
The game had ceased TO hold its at
traction for Spaulding by the eighth
inning and the local schoolboys gener-
ously donated three more runs to make
the final outcome look more respectable.
With two men on bases, Gay, the see
ond pitcher, landed on Williams for two
bases, bringing in two tallies He
came in for the eighth and last run
on felder's choice Sault famed inn
after, and Randolphs little
squirt and the game also were over.
