Republican Opposition to Pact
Stands Firm in Refusal
to Continue Debate 1
INSIST THAT SOME CHAMPION
OF THE MEASURE TALK FOR n
Roots Address Supporting His
Amendment Due Wednesday-Run.
ming Fire Marked Progress of tho
Bill in the United States Senate
Today.

Washington, June 20.-Deaf to the
entreaties of Chairman Penrose Of the
hnance committee, no one was pre-
pared to speak on Canadian reciproc-
ity when the senate convened today.
Determined that some champion Of
the measure must come forward with
arguments in its support before they
begin their assault, those Republicans
opposed to the agreement are stand
ing firm.
Friends of the bill hope that Sen.
ator Roots explanation of his amend.
ment tomorrow will mark the begin-
ming of the regular consideration. 10
was evident early in today's consid-
GRAFTON that the argument would con-
sist of rapid fire debate. On the
floor Of the house consideration Of the
wool tariff bill has been undertaken.
Republican opposition to the Cana
dian reciprocity bill in the senate
reached a stage of open revolt yes
terday. Led by Senator Dixon Of
Montana. who again failed in his de-
mand for an explanation or speech
in favor Of the bill from some Of the
Republican leaders, who champion
the measure. Republican opponents
declared that if the bill passed many
Republicans would join the Demo-
Gratis in an attempt to lower duties
on all manufactured products.
Protection will Crumble.
When the cornerstone is pulled
out of the system of protective tar
iff," said Dixon, when the farmers
products are thrown into a free mar
ket, while his purchases continue to
be protected. there are many good
protectionists in the Republican
ranks here who will vote to have the
duties pulled down on iron and steel,
chemicals, cotton and many other
things"
Other northwestern Republicans
signified by their approval Of the
Montana senator's words that the
passage of the reciprocity bill, which
it is admitted will have majority
of the votes in the senate, will be at
tended with fight that threatens
to throw open the whole tariff sub
ject.

Taft Reception Close on Monday
Evening Was Largely Attended

Washington, June 2o.-The silver
wedding celebration Of President and
Mrs. Taft, the second that has been
held in the white house, came to an
end last night with reception on

Invitations had been sent to close
to 10000 persons, and while the Of
ficial count of those who shook hands
with the president was not given, 1t
Is estimated that at least 5000 per-

ONLY HEARSAY
EVIDENCE GIVEN
Lorimer Committee Hears
Mccormick Says Hines
Fund Was Discussed

Washington, June 2O.-Little but
day when the senate Lorimer investi-
eating committee held in its initial
inquiry that it is to go deeper into
the charge of corruption in the elec-
ton of the senator from Illinois.
Cyrus H. Mccormick, president of the
International Harvester company,
was before the committee to tell what
he knew of the collection of the $780,
900 fund alleged to have been used
in Lorimers behalf. He testified that
Clarence s. Funk, general manager
of the company, had told him Of ac-
tivity in behalf Of Lorimer and that
the corporation had been invited by
Edward Hines, Of Hines Lumber
company, to contribute to the election
fund.
When ]. Hines, who requested per-
mission to appear as general counsel
for Edw. Hines, objected to the line
Of questioning, he was overruled.
What did Funk say to you?" asked
John H. Marble, one Of the counsel
for the committee.
Funk came to me in my Office"
said Mccormick, "and said that Hines
at the Union League club in Chicago
had approached him on the subject
Of our company making a contribu-
ton"
The object was to obtain a contri-
button to the fund which he under
stood. was to be made to recoup the
expenditures in connection with the
election Of Senator Lorimer. Funk
told him that his suggestion could not
be considered.
Asked If Funk had mentioned any
other persons in connection with the
collection of the fund. Mccormick re-
piled that he had brought in the name
of Mr.. Tilden of the National Packing
subsequent interviews with Funk. As
to the editorial in the Chicago Record
Herald concerning the alleged fund of
100000 in behalf of Senator Lori
mer, the witness said that at about
the time the article appeared, Funk
had told him he had given the facts
to H. H. Kohlsaat, editor Of that pa
per, and said that he had advised that
Kohlsaat be relieved from his pledge
Of secrecy.
dl0 not THINK that kOhlSaat
should go to JAIL" said Mccormick,
"and subsequently advised that he be
to give the source of his
"Do you think that you should have
given the information in the previous
inquiry?" asked Chairman Dilling-
ham. The witness replied that while
he considered the matter important,
he had not felt impelled to testify.
said he had heard among
others, jackpot fund of which there
had been common talk for years. His
company had never been called upon
to contribute to the fund. he added,
although it had various applications
to contribute to such funds in other
states. He said his knowledge con-
corning the Jackpot" was hearsay.

LYNCHED BY MOB
Whiting Of Stick Responsible
For Double Tragedy in
Texas Town

Thorndale, Texas, June 2o.-whit-
tling of stick led to the killing Of
Charles Zeitung, garage owner, and
the subsequent lynching Of Mexi-
can youth here last night. Whether
the boy was a citizen of the United
States or Mexico is not known.
The Mexican lad, about 1s years
old, whose name has not been ascer-
tained, was sitting on the sidewalk
in front Of Zeitung's garage early last
night, industriously welding his
pocket knife and making a pile Of
shavings. Zeitung protested against
the littering up the entrance Of his
place Of business, and ordered the
youth to stop. This, according to the
bystanders, angered the Mexican and
he stabbed Zeitung through tho
heart.
The youth was arrested and lodged
in the town jail Shortly after night
fall, mob of about 100 men gathered.
stormed the prison and secured the
Mexican with little difficulty. He was
taken to a nearby telephone pole, and
hoisted about six feet from the
ground, soon afterwards the crowd
dispersed. His body was not lowered
down for an hour.

MANY IRREGULARITIES
Have Been Found in Bids on the
Government Bond Issue,

Washington, June $3.50 many ir-
regularities were discovered in the
bids for the $50, 1000 issue Of three
per cent Panama bonds that the aver
age price Of the issue will be lower
than was first estimated and many
bidders at first thought unsuccessful
will receive some of the new securi-
ties.
BY the time $4s,s4s,soo of legiti-
mate bids had been tabulated the
price Of the bonds had got down to
102.21. At this figure there were ac-
ceptable four bids of $1,000,000 each
which had hitherto been considered
unsuccessful. 1t now appears that
the National City bank Of New York
will get probably 100000 or $3,-
100000. It bid for the entire issue.
