Chicago, May 22.-Edward Hines,
millionaire and head of the National
Lumber Manufacturers association, is
to be dropped from the presidency of
that organization at the annual meet
ing Wednesday as result of the ex-
posures connecting him with the $780,

to purchase the seat in the United
States senate of William Lorimer
E. G. Griggs, of Tacoma, will sue
ceed him, according to the plans OF
the delegates.
Members OF the association, it is
said insisted on his retirement as a
result of the bribery charges against
him. The accusations. it is said, have
put the lumber companies in a bad
light with the people and to continue
Hines in power would virtually mean
an Endorsement of him. This the as
sociation is not prepared to give
Hines was named by several persons
before the state senate investigating
committee as the man who collected
the big corruption fund.

ATTACK WAS MADE
ON THE PRESIDENT
Senator Nelson Assails Taft
for Policy on the Reci-
procity Treaty.
(American News Service)

Washington, May Ex-senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota vigorously
attacked the position OF President Taft
in refusing to permit any amendment
to the Canadian reciprocity bill at a
hearing of the senate finance commit
tee today. He declared that the pres
ident was endeavoring to defeat the
amendments which he, Nelson, had Of
fered to the measure, and charged him
with "evading the constitution" ''tri-
fling with the senate" and with beat
ing around the bush" in his attempt to
thwart every effort to defeat the trea-
ty. He also asserted that the presi-
dent was not treating the senate fair
ly. He attempted to show that there
was precedent for amending treaties
and emphasized the fact that the con-
stitution recognizes the senate as a
part of the treaty-making power. Mel
sons proposed amendment would re-
duce the duty on agricultural prod
ucts of Canada substantially one half
from what they are under the Payne
law.

He Thinks Some One Set Fire
to One of the Buildings of
the Nixon Paper Mill Early
Sunday.
LARGE CAAR PLANT
SAVED FROM BLAZE
Which Was a Dangerous One
and Blazed Fiercely-Nix-
on Plant Is Regarded as a
Jonah" One.

Mystery surrounds the fire which de-
stroyed three buildings and threatened
two more, at the Nixon paper mill.
early Sunday morning. which by Fire
Chief Ed Miller Is believed to be OF
incendiary origin.
Just previous to the discovery OF
the fire, Night Watchman Lovin, OF
Gaar, Scott 4 Co.. heard lusty shouts
but he could not learn where the noise
came from. Fifteen minutes later
flames burst from the roof of the low
brick paper factory building which was
burned to the ground. while the four
other buildings at the mill. adjacent
to the one undoubtedly fired. were in
partial flames.
In IN Investigation Monday morning,
Chief Miller. discovered that the oil
house, located somewhat apart from
the other buildings. had been broken
into. and some coal oil renewed. Mil
ler says that considering the rapidity
with which the flames spread oil must
have been placed on at least the brick
structure.
Sparks Flew Broadcast.
The barn and office building burst
into flames about the same time. this
beink another evidency OF incendiary
origin. The three story brick build
ing. located on Bridge avenue. and the
present mill building on the river
bank. probably were set on fire by
sparks from the other burning build
ing. which during the early part OF
the fire was showered promiscuously
ON to the surrounding buildings. and
onto the paint shop Of the Gaar. Scott
& Co. plant. which was for a time
threatened.
In todays investigation Miller fixes
the loss at $1,000. while Frank Nixon
estimates the loss at nearer $4,000.
Most OF the machinery had been pur-
chased by junk dealer, and had been
removed from the buildings.
Il 10 claimed there had been some
trouble between Nixon and the proper.
" owners surrounding the mill regard.
Ing the use Of the buildings for sleep.
Ing quarters for Italian railroad work
ers, about seventy-five OF whom In
habited the three-story building. In
handling the fire the fire department
again demonstrated It's efficiency.
Certainly there Is a hoodoo hangins
over tho Nixon Paper mill. For many
years there were floods annually, and
many Of the contents Of the mill were
always washed into the stream. and
the machinery damaged. Between
floods the buildings at the mill suffer.
ed several serious fires. one year there
being three bad blazes.

morning about 10: 30 o'clock he struck
Daylard Saunders. aged II. and son Of
Mrs. Fannie Saunders. over the head
with rock, probably fatally injuring
him. The negro boy escaped to the
woods and up till about 1 o'clock, had
not been discovered.
The Saunders boy was rushed to his
home and physicians were called They
pronounced his condition very grave.
The injury is on the left front side of
his head and it is believed the skull
has been fractured, in which case lit

here are searching for him. but since
he was. seen near Grant Mendenhall's
place, soon after the assault, no trace
of him has been found.
Supported His Mother.
The Saunders boy is aiding in the
support of his widowed mother, and
has been living with w. H. Haynes,
near Modoc. He had been at his home
here for several days undergoing med

severe pains in his head. the exact ma

The injury he received this morning
makes his condition the more serious.
Perhaps more on account of his of.

ing injury. While the other boys pick
ed up young Saunders. the Smith boy
escaped.
Although it is said that no com.
plants against Smith were ever made
to the county authorities, several resi-.

the verge of doing so. He has been in
several small escapades and it has
been his wont to stone the white boys
