MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
DanvlIe Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury In Brbe Quiz.

Danville, Ill.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision OF the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury Is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

TAFT DEMANDS
VOTE ON TREATY
THREATENS EXTRA SESSION IF
CANADIAN MATTER is NOT
SETTLED NOW.
.BRITONS ARE UNEASY
BOTH PARTIES FEAR TO AROUSE
RESENTMENT IN THE
DOMINION.

Washngton.-If administration SEN
ators had any doubt about the atti-
tude of President Taft toward the
Canadian reciprocity agreement 1t
was removed when Senators Crane
and Carter returned to the Capitol
from conference with the President
at the White House.
The message which these senators
brought to their colleagues was that
there must be a vote on the agree
nent at the present session or Con-
gress will be called back in extra ses-
sion almost Immediately after ad-
Jcurnment March 4th.
The only doubt appears whether
senators radically opposed to its en-
actment will be able by obstructive
tactics to prevent its adoption by the
Senate.
The President apparently entertains
TO such doubt.
The reciprocity matter has moved
into the foremost place in the legis'
lative purview and the President
shows every disposition to keep 1t
there if he can.
1t is said upon excellent authority
that Mr.. Taft believes the present
Congress will act favorably in both
houses upon the agreement and that
there will be no necessity for an extra
session Every Indication now fore
casts It's adoption by the House by an
overwhelming majority.
Although Senators Crane aud Car
ter declined to discuss their mission
to the White House, the report soon
leaked out that the President was in
sisten- on a vote.
Ii is said he made plain his BELIEF
that the country generally favored the
adoption of a reciprocal treaty agree
ment with Canada; that the bill to put
the agreement into force will pass the
house with large majority and that
the Senate would enact the measure
if given an opportunity to vote on 1t.
The rules of the Senate, which per
nit ur trammeled discussion of
measure, are the principal barriers to
a vote in that body.
1t is known that Senators Hepburn
and Bailey are bitterly opposed to the
agreement and that the opposition eX-
tends also to most of the progressive
Republicans. Some of these senators
have limited that their relations with
the White House have not been suf-
ficiently pleasant of late to cause
them to exert themselves in support
uf an administration measure.
London.-There was lively discus
sion over the proposed reciprocity
agreement between Canada and the
United States.
Members of both leading parties
showed fear of saying something
which would offend Canada and one
speaker invoked the specter of an
nexation of the great colony by the
Yankees.
The colonial secretary said there
was no reason to believe Canada want
ed to submit the question to othel
colonies for decision.
Former Chancellor Austen Chamber
lain declared ratification of the agree
ment would mean an increase in food
prices in England. He said the Unit
ed States would be the greatest
gamer.
