Before leaving the state of North
Carolina our noble animal, whose
praises were so recently sung in deep
bass for the edification of the House
by the gentleman from Kentucky, will
be subjected to one of the most trying
lightning changes of the campaign in
passing into the district of the other
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr
Kitchin). Here he must assume the
light drab, which is a combination of
the Alabama and Florida colors. This
combination is rendered more difficult
and reflects greater credit on his train
ing by reason of the fact that there
must be a perceptible change toward
the Florida yellow whenever the ami
NAL pronounces the word peanuts
Our highly trained animal is sub
jected to a less serious draft in his
color pigment cells on passing to the
district of the gentleman from New
York (Mr George, though there will
be repeated demands for modification
of tone and color as he passes through
the various districts en- route. Ar
rived at the district referred to, how
ever, he may assume the Alabama
color with a slightly darker hue,
which, however, sho&4 shade into a
pirate black as he brays his declara-
ton that American labor must look
out for itself as we batter down the
foodgates and invite in the products
of foreign labor to take the place of
that our labor now produces. In this
particular district, not loud but strong,
cur trick animal will be permitted to
gurgle that if the farmers and ranch
men and miners cannot carry on their
business without the aid of tariff and
the market afforded by protected in
dustries they should abandon their
plebeian occupations and move to
town.
THE exact color scheme and vocal
tone that shall be assumed in the fac
tory districts of New England has not
been fully disclosed, but will undOubt-

Especial Correspondence of the Star)
WASHINGTON, June PA touch
of humor was given the wool debate in
the House when Mr.. Mondell referred
to the peculiar and varied phases of
the tariff, from a Democratic stand
point, in the following description of
1.-THE Democratic Donkey:
"The Democratic majority of the
House committee on ways and means
has now put the Democratic donkey
through all the PAGES he is expected
to be expert in during the coming ma
tional campaign, and in addition to
grooming him in a bewildering variety
of fancy sidesteps and double somer-
saults, all accomplished while looking
both ways at once, special attention
has been given to the perfection Of
the chameleonlike qualities of rapid
color changing, for which he has long
been famous.
ITO such a remarkable extent has
the latter valuable and unique quail
ity been developed that while hereto
fore he has, with remarkable success,
been able to totally change his color
and appearance in passing from one
state to another he is now guaranteed
to have become so sensitive to atmos'
pheric changes as to be able to distin-
guish the boundary of congressional

periences of the Democratic burden
bearer in some of the Western dis
tricts. l understand that at some
points in the Northwest the animal
will invoke another of his marvellous
powers-that of becoming invisible
That will not serve the purpose every
where, however, and in the region of
wool-growing and towns on the Canad-
ian border it is said his color scheme
will be a piebald combination of all
the various hues he is trained to as
sumo.
In the district of my good friend
the gentleman from Colorado (Mr.
MARTINI, the accommodating beast
will, fear, be sore beset, for while
conditions will call for a color less
fading than the near-protection yellow
to withstand the sharp penetration of
the sons out there, color changes will
be difficult in the presence Of the
flocks of the region, as it is well
known that the donkey is sightless in
the presence of a woolly back since
this bill was reported and can no
longer look a sheep in the face.
81 regret the time at my command
will not allow me to pursue this mar
velously interesting subject. l have
made but a few brief and inadequate
references to what promises TO be the
! most marvellous exhibition of trained
donkey since the days of the late la
mented P. T. Barnum, a reference to
whom reminds me that it is said that
the trainers of the Democratic don
key take the same view of the Amer.

mum, towit, that the American people

CITE W|CKERSHAM
FOR CONTEMPT
District Judge Objects to Attorney
Generals Acts.
TAFT CALLS A CONFERENCE
Hint Is That Jurist in Batf1tub Cases
May Be Piacated and
the Matter VIII Be
Dropped.

Washington. = Whether the fed
eral court at Detroit, TO which ne
has been cited, will summon Attorney
fiict the penalty for contempt Of court
is problem that is being discussed
in cabinet circles
The question was before the presi-
dent, when Mr.. Wickersham and Sec
rotary Of War Dickinson, whose legal
abilities are highly regarded by the
president, discussed the situation.
Judge Arthur G. Denison, circuit
Judge, sitting IL the bathtub cases, an
old friend of President Taft, is the
judge whom Attorney General Wick
ersham has offended
Recently the newspapers contained
a discussion of the bathtub cases. in
which ali Off cial Of the departm Of
Justice told of the efforts of the de-
PENDANTS in the case to effect a COM
promise under which they would plead
guilty to the charges, provided the gov
eminent would agree not to press the
court to impose penitentiary SEN
tence for criminal violation Of the anti
trust laws. The article, which was
brought to the attention of Judge Den
isoE, asserted that the attorney gen
eral opposed any such agreement and
tence which did not include the per-
sonal punishment by confinement of
the defendants in the case.
The story appeared while the case
was before the jury Judge Denison
was shocked. He made inquiries to fix
the responsibility for it's publication
and Attorney General Wickersham as
sumed full responsibility. Judge Den
ison held the publication in contempt
of court because of the announcement.
which Mr.. Wickersham declared was
official, that the government would not
yield to the overtures of the defend
ants for a compromise, and because
Of the further statement in the story
that agents Of the department of JUS
tice had been assigned to watch and
protect the jurors in the case.
He abhorred the publication of the
compromise sought by the defendants
because Of it's effect upon the minds
Of the jury. 1t was equivalent to a
confession of guilt from his point of
view and prob. bly, would be SO con-
strued by the twelve men selected to
try the cases. Further than that, he
resented the intimation that the court
was not competent to guard the jury.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Secretary Dickinson will not discuss
the conference with President Taft. 1t
is said, however, that overtures will
be made to Judge Denison to assure
him that Mr.. Wickersham in giving
out the story had no intention of
bringing any improper influence upon
the jury and that he intended no re-
Election upon the court.

LEGISLATIVE PLAN OUT;
RECIPROCITY Is FOURTH
Democrats Put Election of Senators
First Then Publicity Of Contri-
buttons and Statehood.

Washington. = From a reliable and
authentic source it has been learned
that the plans for Legislation formu-
lated by the Democratic majority in
the house indicated that the Republic
an senate will soon have several i'm
portant measures before it for it's con-
sideration
The definite outline, subject to
further caucus ratification, lists as fol-
lows the order of legislation to be
pushed forward by the ways and
means committee as soon as the house
organization is completed:
Popular elections of United States
senators.
Publicity before elections of cam,
paign contributions
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico.
Canadian reciprocity
Revision of schedule K-the wool
schedule-of the Payne-Aldrich bill.
Revision of the cotton schedule.
Beyond this the present program
does not extend, other tariff matters
and general subjects being left for
further consideration, dependent
great deal upon time
1t also practically has been decided
that the Canadian reciprocity bill to
be brought forward by Chairman I'm
derWood will be almost an exact dupli-
cate of the Mccall bill 1t will carry
no tariff rider.
Leading Democrats when asked
what they would do if the senate i'm
mediately passed the Canadian reci-
procity bill and then indicated its
readiness to adjourn, declared that the
house would not adjourn The Demo
cratic leaders expressed confidence
that the president would not exercise
his authority to adjorn the extraordi-
nary session should a dispute arise
between the two houses of congress

weakly asked that four letters which
he had dictated some days before be
brought to him. Propped up, he labori-
Ously signed his name and then fell
back exhausted. These letters go to
four Of his best friends-keepsake
from the man who gave his life for his
hobby, three-cent fare
That Mr.. Johnson sacrificed his life
for his principles is certain. He had
been ailing from cirrhosis of the liver
for years and was told by the physi-
clans that he must quit active work
for awhile and take treatment, but he
was in the midst of his fight for three
cent fare and refused to stop Finally,
beaten in his fifth fight for mayor, he
yielded to illness and went to New
York for treatment, but it was too late.
Cleveland people ride or their street
cars for three cents, but they have lost
the man who did more for the common
people than any other citizen.

TOM L. JOHNSON DEAD;
GIVES LIFE FOR HOBBY
Four-Time Cleveland Mayor Succumbs
From Effect Of Fight fer
Three-Cent Fare.

Cleveland, Ohio. = Tom L. John
son, former mayor Of Cleveland
and known throughout the nation for
his fight for three-cent street car
fares, died here Monday night Of cir
rhosis Of the liver He had been i'll
for over two years but had been con.
fined TO his bed only since March Is.
Mr.. Johnson was at one time a multi
millionaire and, by his own confession,
a monorolist. But it is as the mayor
Of Cleveland that he will be remem.
bered by the people Of the United
States long after the other phases Of
his career are forgotten. He was
pronounced by Lincoln Stefens the
best mayor Of the best-governed city
in the United States"
He had been SO near death for five
days that frequently the physician
thought the end had come and twict
newspaper extras were on the street
announcing his death. Then the rumor
was found to be false. Up to week
ago the former mayor had insisted that
he would get well and again be can
uIuate IOr mayor OF cleveland, Dut
finally ne saw his hope was futile and,
after bidding old friends and former
political associates farewell, he re
signed himself to death.
Il am so tired | wish | could sleep"
he murmured in his moments Of con
seriousness. And finally the sleep came
but not until Mr.. Johnson had suf-
fered much pain in the same cheerful
manner that marked his whole career

STEAMER SINKS; 20 DROWN.
Ship Turns Turtle in Pacific Ocean
Near Sidney

Victoria, B. c. The little wood
en- steamship Iroquois, which
piled between Sidney, Vancouver
island and the islands of the Gulf of
Georgia, capsized soon after leaving
Sidney, and at least twenty persons
lost their lives in the Pacific ocean.
The purser, who had a record of
fares collected, is among the dead, and
1t is not likely the exact number that
persisted ever will be known. Four
passengers and seven members of the
crew were saved and four members of
the crew and probably 16 passengers
were drowned
Following is a partial list of the
dead:
Passenger N. Davidson, -
Dryden, and Mrs. Houston and child
Crew-A. Olson, fireman; Herbert
Hartne1. steward; A. G. Munroe,
purser; Chinese cook
The passengers saved from the 1ro-
quois drifted ashore with life buoys
almost in the last stages of exhaus
ton. Purser Monroe was found en-
circled with a life belt and floating on
bale Of hay.
When the Iroquois foundered part
of the upper works were left above
water and persons ashore could see
the survivors clinging to that por-
ton of the wreck. The swirl of the
waters soon tore off the works and
the sea was covered with wreckage,
amid which men and women struggled
for their lives. Of the bodies which
drifted ashore many were equipped
with life belts.
A number Of launches put off, but
were unable to get near the wreck.
The Iroquois foundered Is minutes
after leaving Sidney. Her cargo
shifting, she swung over on her port
side, circled around as if about to
come back to port, partly righted
again, went on her beam ends and,
apparently filling with water, foun-
dered in comparatively shallow water.
Her engines blew up.

REPORTS ON PRINCESS DEATH.
Prosecutor Thinks Baron Palermo Is
Guilty of Premeditated Homicide.

Rome = The crown prosecutor
has drawn up a report embody-
ing the results of the Investigation
into the killing of Princess Giulia
Trigona di Saint Ella, lady-in-waiting
to Queen Helena, by Lieutenant
Baron Palermo. The conclusion of
the prosecutor is that Palermo is
guilty of premeditated homicide He
dismisses the defense, based on
Paterno's assertion that he commit
ted the crime because of jealousy, in
the belief that the princess was about
to leave him for another friend, Sig
nor Serrao. This plea the crown
prosecutor considers absurd, as on
the eve of the crime Palermo wrote
to Serrao in very cordial terms with
reference to the princess.
The prosecutor argues that instead
the crime was due to the decision of
Princess Trigora to abandon Palermo
and to the fact that Palermo was
angered at losing $4,000 which he ex-
pected to receive from her to pay his
most urgent debts. ~
