Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine for
tomorrow evening is filled with the cheer
OF good fellowship and the Thanksgiving
spirit. Recorder Dingman follows his
custom of interpolating little poems, which
are attracting attention among the mobiles
Here is one of his latest:
When you're feelin' grouchy,
Let the sunshine in;
When your face gets feelin' hard,
Crack it with a grin.
Don't be fraid of wrinkles;
Tear loose with your mirth;

EFFORT BY CHAIRMAN PENROSE
TO FIX DATE FOR JULY "a PIE.
VENTED az OBJECTION.
INSURGENTS
WOOL REVISION FIRST
Fres List and Other Tariff Measures
Before Permitting vote on Reciproc-
ity-Townsend Argues For Absolute
Free Trade With Canada.

Washington, June 27-An attempt
finance committee. to fix July "a for a
vote on the Canadian reciprocity bill
was defeated in the senate today thru
Senator LaFollette's objection.
The debate indicated that some Of
the republican insurgents and some
democrats will fight to have the wool
revision and the free list bill passed
first so that the president will have
to act on them before the senate passes
the reciprocity bill.
Defense of the Canadian reciprocity
agreement was made on the floor Of the
senate today by Senator Townsend, OF
Michigan, republican. Not only would
he lend his support to the bill now un-
der consideration, he declared, but he
would have a treaty which would have
included all Of the products of Canada
and the United States industries on the
free list. Careful study had convinced
him that the agreement would benefit
both countries.
Free Trade Beneficial.
But I am convinced" he added.
that reciprocity with Canada can
never be the greatest success until
manufactured as we'll as natural pro-
ducts meet no customs wall in pass
ing between the two countries"
Senator Townsend argued that it was
the duty of the United States and for
it's best good "to enter into the freest
trade relation possible with those ma
tions where the conditions OF living and
industry are similar to those of our
country"

ten certain things. Attorney Cantwell
objected on the grounds that the jury
would conclude that those certain
things were included in the letter.
Nothing of the kind" responded
Mr.. Burnham, innocently. Its only
a memorandum to refresh my memory
That's false!" exclaimed the exas-
perated Mr.. Cantwell.
II won't stoop or deign to answer
your insinuations," retorted Mr.. Burn
ham. Judge Honore added that he
thought 1t perfectly proper for the
states attorney to refresh his memory
and. In this manner. Mr.. Burnham
managed to get the most discriminating
section Of the letter before the jury.
Did you ever hear this from Mr.
See: Don't answer any questions or
the stand except thru the truth as we
see it,"
II object" from the defense.
"Overruled," from Judge Honore.
This Is the strangest way of getting
a document into evidence that I evel
heard Of" protested Mr.. Cantwell.
Possibly there is difference o.
opinion" answered Judge Honore.
YES, and that is what supreme
courts are for-to correct differences Of
opinion" After which outburst Mr.
Cantwell hastily sat down, and the
court, who had started toward him II
martial manner, returned to the othel
end of the bench.
Mona Dodses Direct Answer.
After another look at the letter
Mona opined that she recognized the
spirit" but would not commit herself
further
At this point an argument arose over
whether Mr.. Burnham could question
Mona as to her confessions when she
was first arrested.
The jury was excused. and Mr.. Burn
ham outlined his questions. They in
cluded the one which Mildred had re-
fused to answer before the grand jury
Then the jury was recalled and the
question was asked again. The same
answer followed.
A little later Mona admitted that she
was still living with See. in the fiat
on Racine avenue, and the same ques-
ton came again.
Jury to Do Under Guard.
So much more serious did the case
Of Evelyn Arthur See appear yester-
day afternoon, after a day Of testimony
by Mona Rees, that Judge Honore or
dered the jury kept under officia
guard during the rest Of the trial. Its
members were allowed two hours ir
which to get their things together, a.
the end Of which time they were or
dered to return to the court. From
now until the end Of the trial they
will be kept incommunicado.
Judge Honore gave as his officia
reason for this act the large amount
Of publicity which has been given the
case. and the influence this might have
on the decisions Of the Jurors.

AMENDMENT DEFEATED
Roots Print Paper Addition to Reel

in Senate-Acrimonious Debate in
Which LaFoIistts Attacks News

Washington. June 27-The Canadian
reciprocity bill emerged from It's first
ordeal In the senate last night un-
scathed The Root amendment, propos-
ing a modification OF the wood pulp and
print paper section OF the agreement.
was defeated after seven hours OF de-
bate by an overwhelming vote. The
friends OF the amendment were so sat
isfied Of it's defeat that a roll call was
not demanded.
This leaves the reciprocity measure
open to the general fight that Is to fol-
low for amendement Of important pro-
visions OF the Payne tariff law. Sena-
tor LaFollette announced that he would
give the senate a chance to pass on
general tariff amendments for free pa
per, free lumber and lumber products
and for reductions in other schedules.
Senator Clapp also announced his in
tention Of offering a free paper amend
ment later. and other senators gave
evidence Of their purpose to force con-
sideration Of tariff revision on the Wild
est plane.
Attack Whole Measure.
Attack on the Root amendment was
intersperSed with attack on the whole
reciprocity measure in the debate which
resulted in the defeat OF Senator Root
proposal to change the house bill by re-
quiring that all Canadian provinces
should remove their export restrictions
on pulp wood and its products before
the reciprocal features of the wood pulp
and print paper section OF the agree
mcnt went into effect.
II ON opposed to the so-called reel
procity legislation as a whole because

justifable," said Senator LaFollette
III it must pass. l want to see it made
as nearly perfect as possible. I shall
vote against the Root amendment be-
cause I believe it will defeat the very
purpose OF the pulp wood and print
paper paragraph OF the agreement"
Senator La Toilette declared there
was no justification for any duty or
print paper. He analysed the figures
OF the tariff board to show that the
best mills in the United States actually
produce paper cheaper than the best
mills Of Canada To continue high
premium on "ineniciency and sloth.'
