RATE QUESTION IN
RECIPROCITY FIGHT
Cummins Offers Proviso That
Would Prevent Railroad
Discrimination.

Washington. July 1.-That there is
grave danger to this country, following
the enactment of reciprocity with Can
ada, that h railroad rates from Can
ada into this country will be made I'M
reasonably low and thus that this coun-
try will be flooded with agricultural and
other lmportations, was a point brought
out today by Senator Cummins in con-
tinuing his speech against the pending
agreement.
Senator Cummins urged an amend
ment to the agreement which is calcu-
lated to prevent this. 1t provides tina
II any time the president is satisfied
that rates of transportation from Can
ada n the United States on any arti-
cles are unreasonably low or those
from the United States into Canada
unreasonably high as compared with
reasonable rates for like distances to
this country, then the president may
max h rates on such articles subject
tn the general tariff law.
Senator Cummins insisted that the
rates from Canada must be fair as
compared with our own The only way
ltS sao the situation, he said, was to
attach the general tariff rates unless
railroad rates were fair.

HINES STILL UNDER
FIRE IN LORIMER CASE

Washington, July Edward Hines
of Chicago, was subjected today to q
rigid cross-examination by John H.
Marble, attorney for the Senate inves-
ttgating committee.
Mr.. Hines c~ontradicted sworn testi-
mony by President Herman Hettler, of
the Hettler lumber company, Of Chi
cago, that Hines had boosted to him of
having personally elected Lorimer. He
denied hat the lumber interests raised
a big sum to lobby for tariff legislation
in 1909, or that the lumber interests
had anything to do with the Iforimer
election.
Mr.. Hines declared that he was ab-
solutely certain" he was not mistaken
about his testimony that former Sena-
tor Aldrtch stated to him the president
was anxious to ave Lorimer elected.
Asked about q denial of this from the
White House after his testimony at
Springfield, Mr.. Hines merely aid that
such a denial had never been called
to his attention"
Mr.. Hines counsel sought to show
that Mr.. Hines vas not in Chicago last
February about the time Clarence S.
Funk, general manager of the Interna-
tional Harvester company, claims Mr..
Hines called upon him to refresh his
emo in regard to the famous Union
League conversation in which Mr.. Funk
testified Mr.. Hines asked him to con-
tribute 10000 to reimburse a $100, 900

AVIATOR IN GREAT
FLIGHT over The
ROOFS OF GOTHAM
Makes Trip From New
London, Circles Mighty Tow
er and Lands in Safety.


New York, July 3.-one Of the most
spectacular flights of aviation was
ended at Governors Island this morn
ing by Harry N. Atwood with a Won
derful half circle about the Singer tow
er, almost grazing the roofs of the sky
scrapers below. Nothing so daring has
ever been attempted by any aviator be-
fore. In France the Eiffel tower has
been circled, but the battling cross cur
rents from anyon n cliffs of lower
Manhattan island had hitherto daunted
ali American aviators.
Atwood rose from New London at 5
minutes past 7 this morning, with the
intention of flying down the Connecti-
cut shore and crossing Long Island
sound to the aviation field at Mineola.
When he got into the air he found his
motor humming so steadily and the air
currents SO favorable that his conf
dence grew and instead of crossing the
sound he turned inland off Mount Yer
non, lowered like a falcon to %reconnoi-
ter and headed for He'll Gate and the
mouth of the East river.
Great Danger Of Feat.
Below the aviator lay an uninter-
rupted stretch of roof tops to touch any
one of which would mean instant de-
ST. uptioI. Below him stretched the
narrew and tortuous cross of the river
spanned by four lofty bridges. As IL
playing with his periis, Atwood crossed
the river to Long Island city, near the
Williamsburg bridge, turned back to
second time. flew over the city at no
great altitude to the lower end of the
island, circled the Singer tower, de-
lected his course past Trinity church
n eastward south Of the Liberty
tower and the new Bankers Trust
smooth spirals for a moment over the
amazed curb brokers in Broad street,
below.
Hitherto it had been a principle
strictly held to by all aviators that
| whenever there was a dangerous spot
to cross, the higher n could rise. the
safer. But Atwood made his turn of
the Singer tower at a height of 525
feet from the street.. little more than
so feet below the pinnacle of the tour,
roof of the City Investment building,
directly below and beside the tower.
The futtering flag at the top OF the
tower showed there was a wind blow
ing of perhaps 15 to 20 miles an hour
not enough to bother Atwood in his
steady-going Wright-Burgess aero
plane.
Atwood's flight today isreally a con-
t%inuation of his fight yesterday from
Squantum field, Boston, to New Lon
don. His distance then vas 1876 miles.

Atwood carried his m~echanician for
a companion yesterday, but did not re
peat the feat today. His distance this
morning, estimated from the map, was
1872 miles and his time 3 hours and q
minutes.
At Bridgeport Atwood descended
within easy sight of the maze pas
sengers of a moving train, crossed the
tracks in front of the locomotive, and
repeating his performance, made three
complete circles of the train before he
resumed his southwestward course.

FOUND
AGAINST WIRE men
Soninlaw Of j. Pierpont Morgan
Is on the List Of Those
Accused.

New York, July 1.-Nine indict-
inents charging restraint OF trade in
violation OF the Sherman anti-trust
law were returned by a federal grand
jury here yesterday against as many
associations and a long list OF individ-
uaIs comprising the so-called wire
trust" affiliated with the steel industry.
Prominent among the defendants are
Herbert Z. Satterlee. a soninlaw OF J.
Pierpont Morgan, and William Palmer,
president Of the American Steel and
Wire company, a subsidiary of the
United States Steel corporation, and
Frank J. Gould, of New York, president
of the Old Dominion Iron and Nail
Works company.
What this suit charges" District At
torney Wise said, lis a trade agreement
In restraint of trade"
The government does not seek to es-
tablish q physical or fiscal merger OF
the properties or interests indicated,
but a series of pools to maintain prices
and apportion territory, iE elimination
OF competition, n SO in violence OF the
Sherman act.
Thus the suit appears as a further
earnest evidence of the governments
intention to deal vigorously with res
stricttve trade agreements.1Theai. sts
against the periodical Clearing House
this week and against the box and pa
per manufacturers earlier are cases in
point.
There Is no indication, however, that
evidence gathered by the bureau OF COR
porations in its investigation of the
steel corporation played any part in the
indictments. Only two of the subsid-
airy companies of the United States
Steel corporation are mentioned, name
ly, the American Steel and Wire COM
pany and the Trenton Iron company.
The American Steel n Wire company,
however, is mentioned in the indict-
ments against seven Of the corpora
tons. In the indictment against the
Telephone Gable association the Fine
Magnet Wire association is not men
toned.
