miral Seaton Schroeder after forty
seven years service in the navy relin-
quished command of the Atlantic fleet

side boys. Then his barge was
manned by the junior officers waiting
to row him ashore.
AS the barge approached James

and the "liberator," continues. Leav-

The natives here had prepared a

Hundreds of natives await Madero
at every station his train passes.
Scores have travelled great distances
through the sand, cactus and sage

shout Viva Madero," a cry which, a
few weeks ago, meant death. The

Chicago, June 6.-Investigation of
the SO called 'lumber trust" with
view to criminal prosecution, was be-
gun in the United States district court
here with the impaneling of special

men in the lumber industry has been
gathered by special agents for the gov
ernment and will be presented before
the grand jury.
Especial attention will be paid by
the grand jurors to methods said to
have been adopted by the alleged CON-
bination to keep Chicago mail order
houses from purchasing lumber di-
rectly from the manufacturers.
When the pane! was brought before
him, Judge lands carefully ques-
toned each member as to his possible
corporate connection. The Judge ap-
pointed Jason b. Hall, farmer Of OF
tawa, Ill, as foreman. His charge was
simple and yet 80 unusual as to at
tract attention.
II want just to tell you one thing,
said Judge Lands. I'm the past, mem.
bers of grand juries have talked. The
matters you are to investigate will be
brought to your attention by the prop
er authorities. Under no considera-
ton is a member of this jury to dis
cuss these Investigations with any
person, nor are you to tell what you
are investigating"
A number of prominent lumbermen
of Minnesota have been summoned to
give testimony.

the pulpit, was as follows:
Allowing business and pleasure to
consume all the time so that none is
left for the cultivation of the home
life. We are too busy making money
and hunting for a good time Home
religion is also neglected"

proceeded far when Senator Porter j..
McCumber of North Dakota startled
the committee by challenging one OF
his statements as an absolutely false

Senator McCumber's action brought
a quick protest from Senators Stone
and Bailey, who declared that wit.

Mr.. Ridder had made the statement
that the newspapers of the country
and the publishers association had
not attempted to suppress facts or to
color stories sent from Washington
on the subject of reciprocity, when
Senator McCumber interrupted with
his charge of falsehood.
Several senators insisted that Mr..
McCumber's remarks should be strick-

"If any witness appearing before
this committee" said Senator Bailey,
were to imply that some senator had
told falsehood l would insist that it
be stricken from the records"

Senator McCumber agreed to have
his remark changed so as to make ii
read that what Mr.. Ridder said was

When the dinner was over the publisher
