HINES INDICATED
BY LUMBER MEN
ASSOCIATION ADOPTS RESOLU-
TON EXONERATiNG ITS
PRESIDENT.
He DENIES BRIBERY CHARGE
Declares He Did Not Raise "SlUsh
Fund" and at Proper Time
VIII "Confound His
TFaducers."

Chicago.-Edward Hines, president
Of the National Lumber Manufacture
ers' association, received from that
body at its ninth annual meeting here
a complete ezoneration Of the charge
that he collected 100000 to be used
in the election of United States Sena-
tor Lorimer at Springfield, III.
The action was taken after an all
night session of the board Of govern
ors in the convention headquarters, at
the Congress hotel. II this session
the board went over in detail the
books Of the Hines Lumber company
and other documents which they felt
would show positively whether Hines
was guilty of the charge made against
him.
Their conclusion was that Hines had
not collected such a fund. They put
this in the form Of a resolution, which
was submitted to the convention soon
after President Hines had said in
speech that he stood ready to prove
his innocence of the charges.
Mr.. Hines said in part: Before
presenting 10 you report as TO the
affairs of the Office Of president,
deem it proper to say word respect
ing certain charges that have been
made against me, and in some in
stances against the lumber interests.
q absolutely and unQualifedIy deny
these charges. l am innocent Of any
wrongful acts in these matters. I
have no apology to make for my con-
duet as an individual or as an officer
Of the association.
AT the proper time and in the prop
er procedure l shall yindicate myself
and confound my traducers, and be
fore a tribunal that will not be a
grotesque travesty on justice and law
"a mere tool of politics and the sub
seryient organ Of unfair and unscru-
pulous journalism. I shall insist upon
and secure the fullest investigation.
What / have done in behalf Of the
lumber industry has been done openly
and legitimately."

MIGRANTS INSURANCE PLAN
Bill Provides That State Shall Act
a s the Custod an of
the Funds.

MadisOn.-Speaker Ingram has in
troduced a bill providing for sys-
TEN of life insurance under the au-
spices of the state which differs from
that contemplated in the joint reso-
luton recently introduced at the in
stance of Insurance Commissioner
Ekern in that til : state assumes no
responsibility for payments, but sim
ply acts as custodian of the fund,
reducing the expense by using the
state, county and town officials.
In addition to life insurance the
Ingram bill will provide for life an
nuities for persons over the age of
65 years. The cost of these annu-
tiles will be so reduced as to make it
easy for persons to carry them and
will, it is claimed, meet the demand
for old age pensions and other pa
ing over the country.
The Ingram bill provides that
there shall be established a "Iife
fund to be administered by the state
without liability on the part of the
state beyond the amount of the
fund The state treasurer is made
ex-oficio treasurer and custodian of
the fund All matters in connection
thereto are to be under the super
vision of the commissioner Of insur-
ance. Each must give such bond as
may be required by the governor and
secretary Of state.

TOO MUCH PHYSICAL STRAIN
Man of Forty or Forty-Five Must Be
Careful Net to Overtax His
Heart.

The physical decay Of men over
forty must be more frequently men
toned lest we forget the fact that our
physique was evolved for only thirty
five or forty years Of strenuous use.
It was not so long ago that forty-fve
was extreme old Accounting time
in the large way of evolution. Length
ening of life has been possible only
because civilization has let I'D the
physical strains, so that if we CON
tinue them we must expect to break
as Of old. Athletes stop their efforts
merely because they are beaten by
younger len, but the non-athletic seem
TO think that it is necessary to keep
up excessive exercise, though the It's
sues simply cannot stand it. There
is, then, no mystery in the large num-
Der Of damaged hearts now being
found, and they will continue to in
crease in number and severity until
the medical profession succeeds in i'm
pressing the lesson. Let US repeat it
over and over again until every man
Of forty or forty-fve realizes that he
has lived his allotted time of physical
yigCr and must ease up the strains to
retain his health. There is no reason
except abuse why SO many men break
at ffty-fve or sixty. They should be
healthy until seventy or seventy-fiVe,

Mr.. Landolt was 68 years of age,

WALSH AND MORSE ARE
REFUSED PARDOWs BY TAFT
President Denies Bankers Petitions
for Leniency-szs>d on
RECORDS.

Washington.-The petitions for par
dons Of John R. Walsh and Charles Y.
Morse of New York, both serving sen
fences in the federal prison for violat-
ing the banking laws, were denied by
President Taft
Walsh is now confined in the peni-
Tertiary at LeaVenworth, Kan. On
January 10, 1910, he began serving a
fVe-year sentence and, under the pro-
visions of the new parole law, he will
be eligible for freedom in the middle
of September of this year.
The decisions were handed down by
the president and followed a lengthy
conference with Attorney General
Wickersham. In both cases he fol-
lowed the recommendation of the at
torney general.
President Taft's action In the Walsh
case was based strictly on a close
analysis Of the facts contained in the
records. Declaring that a man who
uses the funds of a bank to promote
his private interests in such a manner
that he is guilty of a fraudulent
preach OF trust must be punished IN
der the national banking act, the pres
ident swept aside the reasons ad-
vanced by Walsh and the thousands
who petitioned for his pardon.
In denying the application Of
Charles W. Morse, who is now serving
a sentence Of 10 years in the peniten-
tiary at Atlanta, Ga, where he was
sent on January 8, 1910, the president
characterizes his request as premature,
and accordingly he gives the New
York banker the privilege OF renewing
it after January /, 1913
The president denies Morse's appi-
cation for the same general reason
given in the Walsh case, after declar-
ing that the methods taken by Morse
tend to show that more keenIy than
Walsh did he realize the evil of what
he was doing"

Big Crowd.
Paris.-Renri Maurice Berteaux,
teaux, minister Of war. was killed,
Antoine E. Monis, premier of France
and minister Of the interior, and his
son, Antoine, Jr, were severely in
jured, and Henri de la Mourthe, an
aged aeronautic expert, and several
others painfully hurt when mono
plane, driven by Aviator Train, be-
came unmanageable and plunged into
a crowd Of spectators at Issy Les
Molineaux.
The accident occurred at the start
of what may still be the most ambi-
tious aviation event Europe has ever
known-a race from Paris to Madrid.
The distance is 900 miles, divided
into three stages, each aeroplane to
carry a driver and one passenger.
So great was the interest in this
event that the premier, the members
of his cabinet and 10000 spectators
were gathered at Issy, which field
bears the same relation to Paris that
Belmont park bears to New York
Maurice Berteaux, the dead minis
ter Of war, was one Of the most bril-
liant men in France. He was a So
cialist. Before entering Premier
MOnis' cabinet he made a great for
tune as a stock broker Indeed so
fascinated was he with business that
he continued to hold his seat in the
Bourse after his election to the cham
Der Of deputies and even after he was
chosen to the cabinet.

The Ambidextrous Mind

From Berlin comes the assurance
that to be ambidextrous is also to be
better balanced mentally, for whereas
right-handed people have the organ
Of speech on one side of the brain,
and vice-versa. people who are ambi-
dextrous have two language centers,
one in each lobe Of the brain" This
claim may or may not be based on a
physiological fact. But before we en-
dow 1t with any educational or sci
entific value we should like to know
how far its proposed application to
German national schools is promoted
10y genuine scientists, and how far
chat proposal is only a sign that the
"BillsngauIists" are again at work If
che latter supposition is correct. it
IS to be feared that cultivators of
ambi1 eXterity as an intellectual asset
may have to look for their fruition
to other countries than Germany,
which has too often been a dumping
ground for unclaimed scientific causes

ceiving $1,000 therefor.
That grand juries investigated the
confession and that during their work
two other members Of the legislature
confessed receiving 'Lorimer money"
leaving no doubt as to their guilt
That another member, since de-
ceased, was proved present at distribu-
ucns OF ''Loriuer money"
