Carrying Out Hines Orders.


of Mr. Hines at the time said Wiehe.
but I was simply carrying out his or
ders. Mr.. Hines did not get me out OF
bed. 1 found his phone call awaiting me
at my home when l returned from the
theater." Wiehe asked permission to
question Cook. and was allowed to do so.
He charged Cook with trying to black
mail Hines and Weyerheuser
Cook admitted that he had sent letter
to F. e. Weyerheuser, and also to Wiehe,
in which he threatened to tell what he
knew of the Lorimer matter unless they
agreed to settle fight among the stock
holders of the Virginia and Rainy Lake
Lumber Company. These letters were
produced by Cook who also admitted
that the Edward Hines Lumber Company
held $4,000 of Cooks notes and mort
cages.
Cook also testified that he and Henry
furnish of Duluth met Mr.. Hines going
through the hotel lobby in May. 1909,
shortly before the election of Lorimer.
furnish asked him." said Cook, ''how
he was getting on down in Washington.
Oh he said. I am having hell Of a
time. Now there is, for instance, old
Stephenson. After l elected him, he has
gone down to Washington and started
working there for free lumber. / had a
terrible time getting him lined up Then
he went on and told about what a time
he had with the southern democrats. He
said he would have them all fixed up to-
day, and tomorrow they would flop and he
would have to go and fix them all over
again.

Removed From Directorate.

1.-The reliability Of Mr.. Cooks state
ment in the case of Senator Stephenson
may be judged by the character of his
statement OF the alleged telephone COM
with Gov. Deneen.
This man for rome time has been try
ing 20 injure me- and ! denounced him
at a meeting Of the Virginia and Rainy
Lake Lumber Company. March l, in Vir-
ginia, Mimi. and would not allow him to
remain on the board of directors"

Cautioned to Keep Quiet.

Then he went on to caution me about
keeping very quiet about such a story
and about the conversation he held there.
He said If it ever came out that 1t would
be hetray1ng the confidence that Pres
dent Taft and Senator Aldrich put in him !;
that he never could go back to Washing
ton; he never could look either Of those
gentlemen in the face again. and that 1t
would compromise some of the best peo-
pie in the city Of Chicago and the state
of Minnesota"
Asked If there was any difference in
his version of these several conversations
and Mr.. O'Brien's version. Cook said:
1.-THE only difference that I can recall
is that my impression was that Hines
was talking over the telephone to Gov.
Deneen. O'Brien always claimed it was
Yates"

Hines Contradicts Cook.

CHICAGO. April 26-Edward Hines last
night said that the testimony given by
W. c. Cook before the Helm committee
was untrue. THE assertions are not
based upon facts and are utterly untrue"
he declared. Mr. Cook may have heard
that ] had talked with Gov. Deneen over
the long-distance telephone on the day
he specified, but Gov. Deneen has stated
no conversation such as is alleged took
place, and il the governors denial and
mine are not SUFFICIENT the absurdity of
the story upon its face ought to dispose
OF it,
LAS to Cooks tale about my alleged
connection with the election Of United
States Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin,
it is absolutely untrue. ! have not been
in Madison since several years before the
election of Senator Stephenson.

he was greatly concerned for Hines, and
feared thai those id newspapers
would get Hines for his part in Senator
Lorimer's election
Cook declared that Wiehe repeatedly
urged the two Minnesota men to leave
Chicago and the state that night.
Wiehe on the stand denied that he had
suggested that Cook and OBrien leave
Chicago or the state. but admitted that
he urged them to evade the process serv-
ers who he had been told were looking
for O'Brien and Cook.

SURPLUS IS DWINDLING.
1t Has Been Reduced S12, 200, 900 in
Two Months.

Washington, Sept. 2-AIthough two
months ago the treasury began the
fiscal year 1912 with a surplus on all
accounts of more than S33, ,00O, 600, the
heavy expenditures and low receipts of
July and August have reduced it to
$21 900, 900, as compared with this time
a year ago.
The government spent during August
$5, 100000 more than it received from all
it's sources of incomes, the receipts to-
falling $55,000, ,o00 The receipts as com
pared with last year, show a falling off
at the rate of $3,500,000 a month The
summer months are heavy spenders''
and the treasury usually gets on an
even keel before winter.
IN the ready cash treasury officials
find a condition which caused them no
worry. The balance in the general
fund stands at $4,000, 600, with work
ing balance in the treasury offices of
$S5,O0O 900.
The total of capital contained in the
vaults shows a decrease. Last month
established a nigh record at 81, ,S89, O00,
600, but this sum fell to 81, 1892, SIS, ,553-
National bank circulation stands at
$737, ,0OO, ,OOO an increase of about $5-
900 900, which is due largely to the or
ganization of new banks during the
month.
Operations at the mint are at a
standstill No gold is coined. Under
the operation of a new law, gold GER
tificates are issued against foreign gold
coin and gold bullion.

AN ENDURANCE TEST

Chicago, Sept. 2.-The principals in
the international wrestling match
which is scheduled to take place at
the White Sox baseball park next Mon
day afternoon at 3 o'clock began early
today the last of their training for the
contest.
Frank Gotch, the champion, went
from his hotel to the Chicago Athletic
club where during the day he will
wrestle with his training partners and
do some light gymnasium work
George Hackenschmidt. the Russian
Lion, was up early at his camp on the
North side and went for a walk along
the lake shore.
4 am going to wrestle carefully and
all these stories about me making a
rushing bout are false said Gotch.
IF allow Hackenschmidt to get
hold of me at the start he is liable to
break some of my bones with his
mighty strength. He is hard Gus
toner to handle because of his power,
coupled with weight.
Il can not say that I have outlined
my plan of attack and probably won t
until I have locked heads with him for
five or ten minutes. l can appreciate
the fact that Hackenschmidt has i'm
proved greatly and learned more since
last met him. 1t is because of this
that I must be careful, for ] am going
America
"I believe it will simply simmer
down to a case of condition. The man
with the greatest endurance will win
because both of US are strong and able
to stand a long, gruelling match. /
am in condition and when I say that I
am right you can take it from me
I'm ready.
L intend to do a little work today
which will consist mostly of wrestling
with my trainers. This will be the last
mat work 1 will do until I enter the
ring on Mcndav- Tomorrow I intend
my preparation viii be ended"
Martin Delaney, physical director Of
the Chicago Athletic club, said today
that Gotch looked i'll perfect ecndf-
ton.
s.Gotch showed me some of his holds
and the best one, to my way of think
ing, is one he calls the New Up -Ender,'
said Delaney. TT is a simple improve
1t is leg scissors applied from behind
or when the defensive man is on the
mat. With the scissors in place, Gotch
sits down using his leg as a stanchion,
he has a pry with the other leg and
both arms. The wrestler who gets into
such a hold has no chance to get out
and the more he works aaginst the
hold the easier it is for Gotch to win
for the man in under works against
himself
Hackenschmidt expressed a desire to
meet Gotch after the champion arrived
from Iowa yesterday and it may be the
two will visit between now and Mon
day.
Hackenschmidt has done most of his
training in secret. Frequently he has
had his trainers up at O'clock in the
morning and at other times has been
on the mat at II o'clock at night
About 1000 has been taken in at the
boxoffice to date and before Monday
it is expected the receipts will reach
S75 OOO- The prevailing odds are to
on Gotch, though betting has been
light.

MADE A GOOD HAUL.
Express Car Robbers at LeInoine Sc
cured 81 399.

Redding, Cal. AuR 2.-It was learn
ed today that the E sfobbers who held
up a. southbound Southern Pacific ex-
press train last night a mile and a. half
north of Lemoine, Call secured 81 399
from the safe of the express car. A
posse of 20 sher1ffs and deputies is in

ed to have escaped to the mountainous
country to the west.

sion which wrecked the safe was to

er day how the recital, in his
paper, of ADVERTISING sue
CESSES and the manner in
which they were made (Which is
the sole object of these stories)
had influenced several business
interests in Nashville to start
advertising.
He gave me two illustrations
-one of the proprietor of a
LAUNDRY who came in to see
Mrs Atchison, and said he be-
lieved that his business needed
the IMPETUS that ADVER-
TISING WOULD GIVE IT, and
he would advertise in the "Ten-

get some one to write the copy
for him.
