Up FOR KILLING

the Reciprocity Bill.

WASHINGTON. June S.-An ex-
pected vote on the Root amendment to
the wood pulp and print paper schedule
Of the Canadian Reciprocity bill before
the adjournment of the Senate this
afternoon was the overshadowing fea-
ture OF to-day's programme OF the
Upper House of Congress. The Root
amendment vas tackled onto the Reel
procity bill by the Finance Committee
about three weeks ago. To the section
OF the agreement which prescribes that
wood pulp, print paper. paper board
&c. shall be admitted free OF duty
from Canada. the amendment adds
these words:
"when the President OF the United
States shall have satisfactory evidence
and shall make proclamation that such
wood pulp paper and board. being tho
product OF the United states. are ad-
mitterd into Canada and every province
thereof free OF duty"
President Taft. Democratic Leader
Underwood and others have regarded
this amending proposition, II adopted.
as fatal to the agreement.
Tho defeat of the Root amendment
was freely predicted.
The Reciprocity bill was taken up
within ten minutes after the session som
vened. the Root amendment being the
special subject OF consideration. Sena-

Parr to-day denied that he had ever
been offered a bride of $500. 600 to drop

Dwelle by robbers while she was resld.
Ing at the Hotel Lorraine more than q
year ago. but the Governments invest!-
cations disprove the idea that the gems
were of the same lot. BY careful, trac-
Ing they have found that the $500, OOO
worth OF jewels were bought In America
chiefly from Tinany's and from spa,d-
Ing OF Chicago. At which places the
oma had a credit account arranged
for her by Allen.

In Paris. ut ~Bourgereau's and other for

have come from Paquin's, Worth's and
a Vienna house. In the immense and
interesting allotment OF gloves the Cow
rnmen found that the purchases were
made at Morolas's house In Naples. II
Ia charged that half OF these gloves
were taken by Collins and other per-
sons.
NEW WORKERS TAUGHT THEM
THE GAME.
According to the Government nara.
tive. while Mrs. Dwelle and her com.
panions were abroad and making their
purchases they met tho mysterious
New York man and his wife and learned
from them not only how to beat the
Government ut tho customs game but
OF many pig transactions IN which the
New Workers had managed to slide
through Sa,WO.W0 worth OF dutiable
goods.
1t Is stated by friends OF Allen that
no did not have any information con-
corning the smuggling, of the Jewels
until Mrs. Dwelle appeared at a dinner
party with them. lie then insists that
he gave $4,000 to be paid to the customs
people at once as duty. and he claims
that tie major portion OF this sum was
not paid.
The diamond and pearl necklace which
10 listed among the articles alleged to
have been prouglt IA without autv WaI
taken by Allen to tho banking house Of
j. S. Bache a Co, at No. AZ Broadway,
and thence returned to the Paris Tiffany
house and a credit given at the New
York house for the price Of tie neck

cuss matters which have taken place
between the nrm and Its customers"
The big smuggling operations OF the
