BRINGS IN BOUTELL.
Hines says Congressman Told Him
Taft Wanted Lorimer.

Washington. July 24.-Edward
Hines of Chicago caused a sensation
today by testifying before the senate
Lorimer committee that Representa-
tive Henry s. BouteI, Illinois, now
American minister to Switzerland, told
him that President Taft, regarding
Lorimer as an acceptable senatorial
candidate, was anxious to have him
elected and would be very glad to as
Sist in his election.
Today's session of the committee be-
gan with Attorney Hanecy, counsel for
Senator Jorimer, questioning Hines
further about his trips to New York
last winter. when the Lorimer election
issue was pending before the senate.
Hines testified that on one of these
trips he called on L. H. Gary of the
United States Steel corporation TO see
about the price of stock in Colorado
iron company
Suddenly, at the instance of mis-
counsel, Mr.. Hines produced sheet of
paper without letterhead and without
signature or date but which Mr.. Hines
swore was in Mr.. Boutell's handwrit-
ing The little sheet contained these
Il should like to have the senator
know who was the only man in Wash
ington who went to the president in
his behalf AND BRING OFF THE
GOODS"
Mr.. Hines declared that the senator
referred to was Senator Lorimer and
that his election to the senate was the
subject of the note. Mr. Hines de-
clared that Mr.. BOuteu said he mad
gone to see President Taft and had
told him that Lorimer seemed to be
the only man on whom the FACTIONS
could unite. Mr.. Hines continued:
"Mr. Boutell said that as he told the
president of Lorimer's capabilities, he
(the president) said that he was very
anxious to have senator elected from
Illinois and that Mr.. LOrimer was very
acceptable to him and that he would
do all he could to assist in electing
him.
when did you find this supposed
letter?'' asked Senator Kern, Indiana.
Il found it yesterday in going
through my papers"
did you have it when you testified
a few days ago %
YES
Hines testified that Mr.. BouteH's
talk with the president was two or
three weeks before Lorimer was
7 know the day. declared Mr..
Hines, because I met him on the way
to the White House. He said that he
was going to the White House to tell
the president that it looked as if Lori
mer was the only man on whom the
president to help him
WAS he going to tell that the Dem0-
Gratis would vote for Lorimer?" asked
Senator Kern.
Il think not We thought then THAI
the Republican factions could unite on
Lorimer."
Mr.. Hines in his previous testimony
had said that former Senator Aldrich
told him the president was anxious 10
have Lorimer elected. Mr.. Aldrieh
last week testified that he told Hines
the president merely said Lorimer was

put in the record a copy of the iron
Plate association of the United States

The agreement has been in possession
of Chairman Stanley for some time
and number of witnesses have been
questioned regarding it. Eleven great
steel companies entered into the
agreement and apportioned among
themselves all shipme ents of steel
plates.
The steel company that dared vio-
late the agreement laid itself liable to
heavy penalties and it is said that
fines of $1,000 frequently were i'm
posed on members of the com mbination
when complaints were filed with the
executive committee. Each firm was
required to make monthly sworn
statements relating to shipments, roll
ing, production, etc, and any mem
ber who shipped more than his ap-
portioned amount was required to pay
a penalty on each pound of such ex-
cess, the money thus collected being
apportioned among the mem bers who
did not ship up to their allotted share.
The agreement showed the follow
ing apportionment of shipments al
lowable by the various companies
parties to the agreement;
Carnegie Steel company, 1925 per
cent; Jones & Laughlin, limited, 4.75;
Illinois Steel company, 11.OO; Cru
chile Steel company of America, 4.5O;
Otis steel company. $50; Tidewater
Steel company, 800; Lukens Iron &
Steel company, 7.50; Worth Bros. Co.

of sales and up to 10000 tons, should
they be able to accomplish them, prior
to December 81. 1901.
Debts of members of the sssocia-
tion were required to be paid by
check, drawn to the order of r. Melon
& Sons, Pittsburg, to the credit of the
association. The agreement included
exemption tonnage provisions and az
the end of each year the comm ission-
er of t he association balanced the pool
among the members, but any mem
ber unable to produce his full allot-
ment at the end of the year forfeited
such unproduced tonnage which was
divided pro rata among other mem
bers of the pool.

in the street OH a wintry day. and
when he questioned her she recited a

Up went the hands. and one child

"A basket" he sang out
Correct" said the doctor. There's

With the exception OF the death
of Senator Elkins of West Virginia
10 event of very great Importance
has occurred in Washington since
the adjournment of Congress. The
death of Mr.. Elkins makes it certain
that there will be two democratic
Senators from his state. Senator
Scott of West Virginia will be sue
ceeded by Democrat, and the Leg
lature being democratic will elect
a Senator of that party to succeed
Senator Elkins. The late Senator
was one of the Healthiest of what
has been called the American
House of Millionaries. His death
is generally explained in the press
as caused by over work at the late
gressional session, but anyone
at all familiar with the facts will not
be slow to attribute his illness to
high living. He no doubt had a
powerful constitution, but no con-
stitution can forever Withstand a

To One Mourning.
Dear one, give way to grief, and yet
AS sure as doth the violet
Smell sweeter wet with rain shall you
Arise enriched to dare and do
Through this black hour whose weight
like lead
Bows you in anguish by the dead.
The very silence and the pail
May seem sheer kindness, after all.
So rest in that divine perhaps
The pain that stabs, the doubt that saps
The spirit-why, they may be naught
But shadows of the shining thought
That is too splendid and too bright
For the endurance of our sight.
The otherwise Ger radiant spheres
Being tempered for us by our tears.
