SEEKS REFUGE IN SALVADOR
Ramon Soto, Revolutionary Leader,
Deserts Gen. Bonilla.

Ramon Soto, a Honduran revolutionary
leader. and his principal followers have
given up their movement against the gov
ernment of President Davilla and have
sought refuge in Salvador, according to a
telegram received today from Minister
Heimke, at San Salvador.
Soto and his compa MONS presented
themselves to the authorities of Saliva
dor at Neuva Esparat. Soto then tele-
graphed President Figueroa Of Salvador.
declaring that because arms and NUM-
tions of war had failed him in the re-
bellion which. in conjunction with Gen.
Bonila, he had instituted against the
present government of Honduras, he and
his followers had determined to take
refuge in Salvador, ..in order to avoid
complications with the government of
Honduras"
lie announced his purpose to pro-
ceed at once with his followers to
San Salvador, the capital of Salvador.
lie begged President Figueroa not to
apply harsh measures to them as they
had no intention of compromising Sal
vadOr.
President Figueroa informed the
American minister that the Hondurans
would be brought to the capital i'm
mediately, where 1t is assumed they
will be kept under strict surveillance
in accordance with the Washington
conventions of 1907, governing the
preservation Of neutrality in Central

LONDON. Is SUSPICIOUS.
Canadian Pact Lacks Popularity, But
Comment Is Conservative.

LONDON. January 27-Few of the
London morning newspapers comment on
the reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada. The Morning
Post, however, says:
:The American government will rejoice
at having forced the door little way,
thereby obtaining leverage to force it
farther in the future. President Taft ex-
presses as clearly as diplomatic caution
will permit his conception OF the agree
ment as prelude TO some kind of future
political union.
The Daily Express declares that the
new bargain strikes a deadly blow at the
comfortable pretensions cf British free
traders. 1t hopes however. that the
treaty with one of Great Britain's trade
rivals may do the empire invaluable serv-
ice, demonstrating to the mother coun-
try the necessity of power to negotiate.
The afternoon papers are silent on the
subject, apparently waiting 20 hear from
the political leaders.
The tariff reformers are inclined to look
askance at the agreement as posi- y
harmful to imperial preference, but they
do not wish to antagonize the Canadian
government by criticism. They would
have been better suited if the agreement
had been postponed until after the i'm
perial conference in May, from which
they anticipate considerable grist for their
tariff reform mill.

Chicago Official.

The grocery stores of the country are
like slot machines" said John kjellan-
der. city sealer Of Chicago. before the
House committee on interstate commerce
to-day.
You put q nickel or a dime in the gro-
ceryman's hands and out comes a pack
age. Usually the groceryman himself
does not know how much there is in the
package"
Representatives of the Gamers, bottle
makers, the California fruit trade and
other interests were heard by the COM
mittee upon the Wilson and Mann bills
requiring packages to show just how
much they contain. The Wilson bill
would require the amount to be stamped
on the package The Mann bill is an
amendment to the pure food law requir-
ing the amount to be stamped on the
label.
The Mann bill received general approval
from the Gamers. -.

THINKS IT A PERIL
Senator Cummins Impassioned
in Lorimer Argument.
WOULD BAN ALL BRIBERY
Opposes Seating Any Man Whose
Election Has Been Touched
by Corruption.

Urging that the story of corruption and
bribery told by c. A. White Of the llli-
nois legislature was sufficiently corrobo-
rated by other testimony to establish its
truth, Senator Cummins of Iowa today,
on the floor Of the Senate, continued his
speech attacking the legality of the cleo
ton OF William Lorimer as senator.
The majority report, upholding Mr.. Lori
mer. had declared Whites story un-
worthy of belief.
Senator Cummins did not mince words
in speaking of the conditions in the Illi-
nois legislature which elected Mr.. Lori
mer He reviewed at length Whites con-
fession and his story in connection with
his dealings in the Lorimer election. and

ment he remarked

From his view of the testimony and
from the statements of one OF the menu
bers of the committee on privileges and

is fair to assume the hypothesis that
there was "a gang of boodlers in the
