Washington, July 2S.-Two senatorial
aspirants of Illinois, William B. Mason
Republican, and Lawrence B. Stringer,
Democrat, were on the stand today be-
fore the Lorimer committee. Neither
threw much light on the methods by
which Lorimer defeated them for the
senate.
Mason told how the senatorial bee
buzzed around him so long that he had
developed chronic case of senatorial
ambition. Stringer told of his fight 'in
splendid isolation" in the Illinois leg
islature for election to the senate and
Of his hope to land in the senate by an
accident" He gave testimony about
a fourteen club" reputed to have been
in process of organization at one time
to elect Hopkins to the senate by the
use of money and cited the name of
Charles z. Luke, as Democratic
member of the legislature, who, he
said, had been invited to become a
member.
The multiplicity of indictments
growing out of the so-called White
confession was a subject to which
counsel for Lorimer devoted much time
in cross-exauining Detective Thomas
MCGUIRE, witness before the commit
tee. MCGUIRE described his work in
several of these cases.
Mcguire told of an attempt to per-
suade George o. CLAWS to turn over to
James Keely, general manager of the
Chicago Tribune, the books for which
keely claimed he had paid $3.50 and
which CLAWS is alleged to have said
would show Lorimer's connection with
lobbyists. The detective said Keely
was not sure whether the books ever
existed or whether they had been sold
in other markets.
Alfred z. McCordic, a Chicago at
torney, declared that Writ H. Cook, by
whom he has frequently been employ
ed, repeated to him on the day it is
alleged to have occurred, the telephone
conversation in which Edward Hines
was said to have stated that Lorimer
must be elected and that he was going
to Springfield with all the money
necessary"
"As a matter of fact, are you not a
promoter and a broker?" asked Mr..
Hanecy in cross-examination.
"Oh, no." replied McCordic.
Other questions were asked which
the counsel explained were intended
to show that McCordic had been con-
nected with an attempt to make Hines
buy certain stock from Cook and that
the witness was prejudiced against
Hines.

Washington, July 2S.-The fight Of
the Democratic and progressive Re-
publican coalition for a broader tariff
revision gained ground today and 1t
was confidently predicted in both
houses that the conference would
create a compromise wool bill, farmers
free list bill, and possibly a cotton bill,
which with the steel, sugar and other
schedules will be passed.
In the meantime the indications are
stronger than ever that President Tart
will exercise the veto power on all
tariff legislation prior to the submis-
sion of the tariff boards report in De-
cember.
The cotton bill will probably pass
the house Thursday. Democratic lead
ers assert that If the present program
is carried out nothing will prevent an
adjournment by the middle of August.
The plan contemplates compromise
on the wool bill on a thirty per cent
advalorem raw wool duty basis. This
measure goes to the conference Mon
day or Tuesday. The free list bill is
to be changed only by the amendment
which strikes out the provision placing
farm products on the free list. This
amendments is necessary to insure the
Republican insurgent vote. Democrats
of both houses expressed the certainty
that the free list bill Will be put
through the senate Tuesday by the
same combination as on the wool BILL
80. URGED TO VETO BILL.
President Taft today was urged by
several standpat Republican leaders of
the senate and house to veto any wool
revision bill that is likely to be agreed
upon in the forthcoming conference on
the house and La Toilette compromise
measure.
Senator Crane and Representative
Weeks of Massachusetts,, and Repre-
sentative Bartholdt of Missouri, were
among the men who gave this advice
to the president.
1t was their belief they said Mr..
Taft would not injure himself in the
eyes OF the country by vetoing wool
revision bill, not based on scientific
data furnished by the tariff board.
The congressman advanced the idea
that the senate coalition of insurgents
and Democrats was an attempt to put
the president 'fn a hole" politically.
Executive disapproval of a measure
designed for such a purpose. they told
the president, could not work to his
discredit.
While the president himself main
tains silence as to what course he will
pursue if wool revision oil Is pre-
stnted to him, the intimations are
stronger today that he will not hesi-
tate to use the Veto This would put
an end to all attempts to revise
schedule K and would serve as de-
terrent to revision of other tariff
schedules at this time.
The house today received the new
compromise wool bill from the senate.
No action was taken, the bin being
laid on the speakers table and the
cotton rebate debate continued.

BY Associated Press.

New York. July 2S.-No Interior mo-
tives lurked behind the taking over of
the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company
by the United States Steel Corporation
during the financial panic of 1907, in
the opinion of l.. 9. Hanna, of Cleve-
land, one of the syndicate of owners
of the Tennessee concern before the
merger, and who spent the day on the
witness stand before the steel trust in
vestigating committee of the house.
That surreptitious motives had been
suggested, Hanna, who is a brother OF
Mark Hanna, admitted, but he never
credited the reports. He believed the
transaction was necessary to avert the
failure of the New York firm of Moore
& Schley, who held too much Tennes
see company stock as collateral for the
loans, and to avert the widespread
threatening business disaster. He said
he had no knowledge of a plot whereby
the Tennessee company was gobbled
up by the steel interests.

to have some bearing on events likely

Advices from Port de PaiX on the

that point and the American cruiser
Chester has gone there from Cape
