 IN HOUSE RECIPROCITY DEBATE

Washington, April 2S.-Another declar- alton that annexation Is the desired end of the democrats in pushing reciprocity, and speech by a new member of the House revealing humors of tariff fight in Congress featured today's debate on the free list bill now pending before the House. Other subjects than the pending bill were discussed under the latitude of debate
 Mr Prince of Illinois, republican, at taelSing the Canadian reciprocity bill. sounded the annexation note. President Taft's speech in New York Thursday night furnished his text. He said the pouring of Americans into the Canadian northwest and the attitude of the control- ing forces of the democratic party could mean nothing else than annexation, reel procity and partial free trade with Can ada being the first step toward that end.
 1T say to our neighbors on the north, be not deceived said MT. Prince, "when we go into country and get control of it, we take it. It is our history and it is right that we should take it. if we want it, and you might as well under stand it. The speaker has so said; the party back of him has so said. and it does not deny that that is It's desire"

WILL PROBE STEEL CORPORATION TODAY House Committee on Rules Will Discuss Stanley's
 Resolution

Washington, April 2s-(Special )-The House committee on rules will tomorrow hold a hearing on the resolution intro duced by Representative Stanley of the Twenty Kentucky district pro- viding for the appointment of a commit tee of the House to investigate the United States Steel corporation. MT. Stanley Is a member of the rules committee and that fact leads to the belief that a favor able report on the resolution will be forthcoming at an early date
 The Stanley resolution provides for a committee of nine-f1ve democrats and four republicans.
 MT. Stanley said tonight that there are two main propositions in the contem- plated investigation.
 'The first, said he, 'is that the Steel trust is a combination in restraint of trade. evidenced by it's creation and it's charter; and, second, that the mer- ger of the Steel corporation and the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company was in open and manifest violation of the law
 The committee is directed to investi- gate along the following lines.
 First, the restriction or destruction of competition in production or transporta- tion, including conspiracies to crush out and bankrupt competitors.
 Second excessive capitalization of cor porations with large bond and stock is- sues not representing real values
 Third, vast combinations of corporations controlled by few individuals, created by ownership by one corporation of the stock of other corporations, the securi- ties issued therefor constituting fictitious capitalization.
 Fourth, wide speculations in stocks con- ducted by conspiracies among associated owners and officers of the various cor porations.
 Fifth. private profits through such spec ula ations to managers of the corporations derived at the expense of the stockhold- CTS and the public, using corporation money or manipulating corporation power.
 Sixth. to cause panics in the bond and stock markets and in the money mar kets like .those of 1903 and 1907.

when Representative Kent of Cali speech on the general tariff question arraigning "a revenue tariff upon ne- cessities.'' He said that with other novices in the House he felt sure he had absorbed speeches until he had learned much that cannot possibly be true' and that the Congressional Rec ord was filled with a mass of math . cmatics proving what Is logically ab : surd."
 T am a republican, or what used to be a republican" Mr. Kent observed, "because I believe in the protection of infant idustries that stand some even : tual chance of becoming self f-sustain- ing. But many industries, having out grown the cradle have not been re- quired to hustle for their livelihood but have been carried bodily to a ward in the hospital where our standpat friends nifty to be doctored, nursed and nour- ished at the public expense"
 MT. Kent said that protective tariff was an attempt to 'tax ourselves rich.'
 The nation can acquire wealth if not merit" he said, "by unanimously con senting to the reciprocal picking of pockets by all the people,
 To show tariff inequalities MT. Kent said: MT. Rockefeller probably pays less private revenue on the food he consumes than does the average hod carrier. He would doubt tless like to pay as much but he can't without. eating as much"

HITCHCOCK ATTACKED WITH
 CHARGE OF CROOKED POLITICS

the 272.000 postmasters or employees had been discharged or reduced in rank for failure to perform political duties or contribute to campaign funds and whether employees are regularly as- sessed for campaign purposes and are punished if they do not comply.
 He declared the appointive power lodged with the President is greater than that enjoyed by any foreign mon arch. "The power vested in the Presi- dent is almost unlimited" he said. No man is wise enough or good enough or great enough to be entrusted with such power. It Is the experience of the world that men clothed with such pow CT become impatient of restraint
 The Indiana congressman advocated the direct election of many of the federal employees, such as United States marshals and postmasters.

Washington, April 28.-Representa- tive Cullop of Indiana, democrat. in speech today in the House vigorously assailed Postmaster General Hitch cock and the postoffice department for "pernicious activity In politics.
 The postoffice department Is the greatest political machine ever con structed in this or any other country" said MT. Cullop, and it is openly ad- ministered as a political organization.
 Too much time devoted by the head of the postoffice department to politi- cal affairs and too little to business were declared by MT. Cullop to be re- sponsible for the annual deficit in the operation of the department He said the people should know whether any of

SENATE IS PLANNING TO USE
 RECIPROCITY TO KILL TIME

are passing their tariff bills, and when these are passed to bring out the recip rocity agreement, debate and pass it. and then to propose to the House the advisa- bility of prompt adjournment. Of course 1t Is impossible to make definite plans so early as this. but that is the ten- tative programme of the republican lead CTS.
 The hearings on the reciprocity agree ment may, therefore, be expected to be somewhat prolonged. unless, of course, the executive brings pressure to bear to obtain an early report, in order that tho debate in the Senate, which will be ex- tensive, may begin.

Washington, April 2s.-(Special)- )-The purpose of the leaders of the Senate in holding hearings on the Canadian recip- rocity measure is not so much to glean additional information on this subject as to kill time.
 The present plan of the republicans in the upper house is to deal almost ex- clusively with Canadian reciprocity. The Senate republicans hope 10 tariff legisla- ton other than this will be passed. To that end it Is proposed to hold the re- ciprocity agreement In the finance com mittee, while the democrats in the House

 SEEMS ASSURED McManigal Himself Dispels
 All Doubt CASE ASSUMING FORM Dynamite Conspiracy Case Probably Come To Trial Early Next Week. McManigal Shuns Defense
 Lawyers
CASE ASSUMING FORM

Los Angeles. April 2S.-Although 1t has been all but certain for some time with out any definite details being known that a confession has been made in the dynamite conspiracy case, all doubt that important progress along that line had been made was removed by Ortie E. McMangal himself today.
 He declined to see Attorney Job Har- riman, former socialist candidate for vice president, and counsel for the McNam- ara brothers, the alleged confederates of McManigaL
 District Attorney Fredericks had said the prisoner would see none of the law yers associated with the defense and McMangal later confirmed this person. ally to Hartman at the jail.
 Hartman went to the prison express ly to give McManigal an opportunity to repeat the declaration the accused dyna- miter made yesterday to Attorney O. N. Hilton that he had not made con- fession and would make none.
 Instead, to his questions, the lawyer received today replies very different. These replies caused him to declare upon emerging from the sheriff's office that John J. McNamara and his brother James are now the only ones in whose behalf the defense would center its eff forts-the only ones whose lives were to be fought for by lawyers to be retained by the various labor organizations.
 Furthermore, the only visitors McAlan- igal receives now are men from the dis trict attorneys office, Sheriff Hammel and operatives of the detective agency that rounded up the alleged conspira- tors in the. east. ....a.
 All the detectives who came west with the prisoners Wednesday called upon McManigal today and found him in jovial mood t.-,
 Hints or suggestions that immunity had been extended to McManigal brought reiterated denials from the district at torney.
 Everyone connected with the case en- loved a measure of comparative quiet today, but sensational developments are expected at any time in the shape Of additional arrests.
 E. R. Mills, local agent of Detective Burns, said late today that two other arrests are impending.

 The all-prominent feature Is the con- fession which McNamara is alleged to have made first to Detective Burns in Chicago and then in more complete form to a district attorney here yesterday.
 So-called extracts from this last con- fession have been published but official sources deny that any of these are au- thorized or authentic The case is as- suming more and more the aspect of the HI aywood- Pettibone trial at Boise Even the Harry Orchard feature prom ises to be repeated almost in duplicate.
 It is believed the arraignment of the accused will take place early next week.
 John H. Baker, a clerk with the Giant Powder company at Giant, Cal. where the explosives which are thought to have destroyed the plant of the Los Angeles Times were purchased, has ar rived in Los Angeles to aid in the at tempted identification of James B.

COPS TO TAKE DRINKS HOME.
Intoxicated Man Is Not Necessaril,
Criminal, Mayor Says.

Granite City, Ill, June 27.-This
seems to become the mecca of all those
who love to gaze fixedly upon the wine
when it is red.
The Socialist mayor of Granite City,
Marshall E. Kirkpatrick, has decided
that being drunk is not a crime. A
drunk is not a criminal, but the victim
of circumstances. And no victim of
circumstances ought to be locked up
for indulging in a little merriment. He
has issued an order to Adolphus White,
chief of police, instructing the force
what course to pursue the next time nc
observes a citizen with uncertain steps.
If the citizen does not destroy prop
erty, does not attempt to commit a
crime, he is not to be arrested. But
if the officer thinks the citizen may
disturb the peace in some manner, he
is to take the hilarious one home.

DIRTY FACE AND DIRTY HANDS
Hartman Crews Must Not Take Time
to Wash I'm

Houston, Tex June 27.-Any train or
enginemen on the Hartman system
who comes into a terminal with a clean
face and hands is liable to discharge.
This novel order recently has been pro
mulgated on the lines of the Southern
Pacific a Hartman property, and Is
general from coast to coast.
The order is a step toward the pre-
vention Of wrecks. A study of the
wrecks by officials Of the system de-
veloped the fact that a majority oc-
Cured in the yards or near the termi-
nails of the divisions. This situation led
to the belief that as the train approach
ed the terminal all hands relaxed vigi-
lance. It was found in these cases that
the crews took time to wash the CRIME
from their hands and faces SO they
could enter the terminal, turn over
their train and leave the yards at once.
BY the terms of the order additions
are permitted only after the train is
in. Should an employee come into the
terminal with shiny countenance and
pink rosy hands this fact hereafter is
to be taken that he neglected his du-
ties and he becomes liable to discharge.
