LAURIER APPEALS
TO THE COUNTRY
Premier Denies Annexation
Will Follow Pact.

Ottawa, Ontario, July So.-The big
gest political fight in Canada's history
began tonight in the form Of state
ments issued by the rival leaders, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and r. L. Borden. Sir
Wilfrid never speaks for publication,
and the last statement issued by him
was made three years ago. In his
statement tonight, after referring to
the history of the various attempts by
all political parties in Canada to get
reciprocity with the United States, he
says:
The present conservative party in
Parliament seeks absolutely to reverse
the lifelong policy OF its great leaders
in the past, declaring that 1t will op-
pose to the bitter end the very prin-
ciples enunciated by both Sir John
Macdonald and Sir John Thompson in
the last election. addresses upon which
each of these statesmen ever appealed
to the Canadian people.
'In this condition of things 1t has SEEM
ed to his excellency's advisers more in
accordance with the dignity of Parlia-
ment, with the traditions OF these British
institutions, which all true Canadians
value so highly and which the present
opposition degrade with such a light
heart, with the best interests of the
country as a whole, to remit the issue to
the people themselves, so that the people
themselves may judge between the gov
ernment and the opposition, and declare
whether they have changed their mind. or
whether they are still in favor of reci-
procity in natural products. and whether
they will or will not have the American
market for the promising crop soon to
be garnered in Canada.
The issue. my fellow-countrymen, is
in your hands. and to your decision his
government in Canada are well
content to leave II.
1T has been alleged by the opposition
that this agreement II consummated
would imperil the connection with the
mother country and finally bring the an
nexation Of Canada to the United States.
1T Is impossible to treat such an argu-
ment with any kind Of respect. IL, in
deed, 1t can be dignified with the name Of
argument"

MRS. LEWIS AIDS
HUSBANDS FIGHT
Wife of st. Louis Publisher
Here to Help Him.
SHE CALLS CHARGES UNJUST
Woman Who-Furnfshed Missouri
Man 1.-THE Dollar and a Quarter"
on which He Built His Enter
prises Says She and Spouse
Will Battle Together.

Il will don my fighting clothes and go
to the aid of my husband" said Mrs.
Gertrude Lewis. wife of Edward G..
Lewis, the ST Louis banker and pub
Usher, at the Brighton last night, where
she had arrived few hours previously
to join her husband. whose hearings be-
fore a Congressional committee on mat
ters pertaining > the administration Of
certain divisions of the Post-office De-
partment have created a sensation
throughout the country. The Post-office
Department a few years ago issued a
fraud order against Mr.. Lewis and with
drew from him certain mail privileges,
both of which acts, Mr.. Lewis alleges,
were unjustified and tended TO bring
about his ruin.
Il furnished the s125 on which they
say my husband started all his enter
prises. I can furnish another II need
be. I will fight on, and he will fight on
and we will sell the clothes off our
backs TO win this fight they have forced
on u.s.
Thus spoke Mrs. Lewis, whose strong
personality is at once recognized. She
is not what is termed a handsome
woman. but she is attractive. with lot
of character written all over her interest
Ing face.
They say my husband had only s1.25
with which to start his enterprises in
st. Louis. Well let them say that. 1t
was all he needed. But he had me, and
I had more than s1.2, and I was his
vice president. And l have enough in
my own name now, and always will have,
to furnish him another S1.25 should he
ever need it. And 1 can be his vice
president again.
This fight had to come" continued
Mrs. Lewis, who does not at all look like
a quarrelsOme woman, in low musical
voice. The government has made this
fight On Mr.. Lewis, not because he was
violating any laws, but because some
powerful person who eXerted great in
fiuence on public officials felt that Mr..
Lewis was in the way. He has made the
fight for the people, and in doing SO made
himself the goat
But the end is not yet" smiled Mrs
Lewis, exhibiting rows of strong, white
and even teeth. "and my husband will
stay in Missouri, and 1 firmly expect to
see the great publishing house in full op-
Grafton, and the bank building which he
erected with so. much pride; that, too
will not remain vacant and idle, as it is
now.
"All of this property in University
City that he founded, too, will bring
what it is worth if it is properly handled.
But if it is sold by his enemies, it can
not be expected TO bring tithe of its
real value"

MOROCCO TROUBLE
NOW CLEARING Up
Germany Wants Boundaries
Laid Out Again.

Paris, July 3o-The feeling with re-
gard to the Moroccan situation continues
to be optimistic. The Temps says that
Germany is seeking rectification of the
Kamerun boundaries. and offers Togo
land in exchangefor a part of the Gabun
district, France keeping certain terri
tory around the district ceded to Ger
many, giving free access to the part OF
the Congo that is not surrendered.
The Matin refuses to prophesy, and
says that the question is now in the
Kaiser's hands.
The Figaro makes to-day a virulent at
tack upon Minister of Marine Delcasse for
negotiating with Spain in 1902 and 1904
concerning Morocco. when he was the
minister of foreign affairs. The paper
says that Delcasse would not allow the
publication in 1904 of a secret treaty, in
which he gave Spain the region between
Ifni and Cape JUDY, while France got the
region Of the Sus and Agadir.

SPEED TRAP GETS
LONELY MOTORIST
Montgomery County Sleuths
Have Quiet Day.

One lone autoist, who could not resist
the temptation to ''let out" his machine
on a straightaway stretch Of road, fell
into the clutches OF the Jealous guardians
Of the speed regulations Of Montgomery
County yesterday. Motor scouts failed
to warn ]. F. Groves. Of Mount Ida, Va.
and he was nabbed by Chief Deputy E.
c. Ramey on the Frederick road
beyond Rockville. 1t is said he was hit
ting up forty miles an hour at the time.
Mr.. Groves was allowed to go on his
way after promising to appear in court
this morning.
The deputies of Montgomery County
were too busy chasing the supposed kid
nappers near Washington Junction, Md,
to devote much time to motorists yester-
day. Owing to the weather, which was
not any too pleasant for motoring, there
were few cars out, and those were duly
warned by the scouts of the Touring Club
of America, who held up each car and
gave them ample warning as to where it
was safe to speed.
No Maryland motorists without District
tags were arrested yesterday, although
bicycle policemen were stationed on all
roads leading into the District.

Sensational Ministers Upheld in
Sermon by Rev. f. Hex SVEN.
Sensational ministers are the best
preachers of the words of God" said
Rev. E. Hez Sven, pastor of Capital
Baptist Church, in a sermon at Typo
graphical Temple last night.
He defined sensational as that
which creates a state of excited in
terest or feeling" and said that min
lister capable of causing such interest
in the Bible is a true churchman.
In speaking of the sensation a wave
of virtue would cause in this city,
Rev. Mr.. Sven said this city had not
known such a wave for a long time.
and that it was needed, in view of the
fact that Washingtonians, instead of
being excited about Christianity, were
excited about gain. lust, pleasure, and
many other things not viewed with
favor by the Bible.

round up the animals.

back" said the warden. You'll have a
good chance to escape. II you desire,
but II you do you will be deceiving me,
and you will probably cause the State
