Lincoln Center, Kan, Nov. IL
Contrary to the expectation Miss
Mary Chamberlain did not take the
witness stand in the tar party" case
at the morning session of the trial
here today. After the noon adjourn
ment Prosecutor McCanless said he
intended to close his case with the
testimony of the school teacher vic
tim of the assault. Her story prob
ably will be heard late today, he
said.
A new feature in the conspiracy
against the girl developed today in
the cross examination of Edward
Ricord, confessed assailant of the
young woman. He testified he had
planned to commit an immoral act
before the eyes of the mob at the
point selected for the staging of the
.tbarring" The band was then to |
have attacked the girl. Miss Cham
berlain repulsed him, he said, and
thus the scheme was foiled.
Ricord also admitted that he had
been threatened with penitentiary
sentence If he testified that he had
been intimate with Miss Chamber
lain.
''Who made the threat" Ricord
was asked.
Samuel G. Wolford, the sheriff,
replied the witness.
Later Wolford took the stand and
denied having made any such state
ment to the barber.
Mary Chamberlain, the Shady Bend
school teacher, facing Edward Ricord,
her decoyer, and the three other men
charged with completely in the at
tack upon the young woman, took the
stand late this afternoon and began
the recital of her terrible experience
on the lonely roadway on the night
of the now famous tar party"
While the spectators, who crowded
every inch of space in the court room
listened breathlessly, Miss Chamber
lain told with minute detail the story
that men and women in this and ad-
joining counties had anxiously

GOVERNMENT TO PROCEED
AGAINST LUMBER TRUST
Federal Grand Jury Is Ready To ACT
Following Expose In the lorimer
Case.

PHILADEL PHIA, Pa. April 10
The North American today prints the
following dispatch under Washing
ton date:
Investigation of the lumber trust
by a federal grand jury will be start
ed within the next two or three weeks.
Every effort has been exerted by the
department of justice TO keep the
plans of the government secret.
Enough has been learned from 9TH
er sources, however. TO anord SUP
stantial basis for the assertion that
the evidence already collected Is
deemed sufficient for presentation TO
grand jury with view 10 criminal
proceedings against the corporations
and individuals who compose the com
binations generally designated as the
lumber trust.
The. great lumber interests OF the
country have recently been brought
into additional public. disfavor as
among the chief supporters OF Sena-
tor William Lorimer. through the ac-
tiyity in behalf OF Mr.. Lorimer OF Ed
ward Hines, millionaire lumberman
OF Chicago, who has represented the
lumber interests generally in Wash
ington..
Hines recently appeared before the
ways and means committee OF the
house and the finance committee or
the house and the finance committee
OF the senate in opposition TO Cana
dian reciprocity because OF the dam
age he insisted would be done the
lumber interests. Before that he had
called upon the president TO protest
against the notoriety which was be-
ing given the lumber combinations by
the investigation. into their Affairs
made by the commissioners OF cor
porauons.
Mr.. Hines, It is reported. urged
the president to make public all the
Information obtained by the commits
sioner Of corporations. asserting II
could not show the existence OF lum-
Der trust, because none existed, and
that it would, therefore, tend to stop
what Mr.. Hines declared was harm
full Misrepresentation OF the men and
corporations engaged in the lumber
business.
Soon after this, the bureau OF cor
porations published bulletin on the
private ownership of timber lands,
which so far from dispelling the su-
spicion that there Is lumber trust,
presented information which clearly
Indicated the existence OF such a
combination. Necessarily the pros
pective investigation Of the trust has
no relation whatever to the Lorimer
case, and yet 1t also il obvious that
each has a bearing upon the other.
1T Is. therefore, a most striking
coincidence that at the time that
members Of the United States sen
ate are planning to reinvestigate the
Lorimer election and the part play.
ed by Edward Hines in that notorious
proceeding. a federal grand jury
should be upon the eve OF investiga-
ton OF the lumber combinations, the
special privilege OF which started the
Lorimer movement In Illinois. and the
activities OF the same Edward Hines
in relation to the lumber business
of the country.
9TH clearest intimation of the
strength OF the testimony against the
lumber combination is that II is
deemed sufficient to begin proceed
ings upon. Necessarily its character
is not definitely known.
