600 WORD MESSAGE
PRESIDENT TAFT ASKS FOR
EARLY ENDORSEMENT OF
RECIPROCITY.

In a message only 500 words in
length President Taft yesterday urg-
ed upon congress the need of prompt
action indorsing the Canadian reci-
procity agreement. mat was the
only topic mentioned, and aside from
an outline of the history of the
measure in the last Congress, con-
sisted simply in explaining his obli-
cation to Canada to get Congress
sional action as quickly as possible
and in referring to the popular. ap-
proval manifest throughout the
country since the publication of the
terms of the agreement.
OF almost equal interest was a
statement issued this morning by
Champ Clark, the new Democratic
Speaker, in explanation of his failure
to refer to reciprocity in his sum-
mary yesterday of the legislative
programme of the Democrats. He
said, in giving out the statement,
that if he had thought of it he would
have mentioned reciprocity in the
close of his speech, but that in fail
ing to do so he intended rather to
take it for granted that it had DEM
ocratic support than to slight it.

PITCHERS II VICTORY AT AT
LANTA, GA, ON TUESDAY.

Atlanta, Ga, April 4.-Fred
Sherry is the new hero of the Ma
tionals and Jimmy McAleer has
picked up another embryonic star
to join Billy Cunningham, Eddie
Ainsmith, and John Henry. The
Youngston hurler has gone the dis
tance, without whip or spur, and has
shown the proper ability needed for
the mainstop.
Sherry, or Schuerholz, to use his
right name, was there with the right
stuff yesterday, and had the Conroy
crowd standing ON their heads He
deserved a shut-out to his credit, but
the gods of war decreed otherwise,
and he rests content with a to /
palm leaf.
Still once more McAleer wanted to
test the coal miner, and now he
knows that in Sherry he has twirler
who may one day be the bright lumi-
nary of the American League. The
lad tired toward the end, but stuck
to his job in veteran style. He pass
ed three and famed two, but the
Conroy crowd was unable to get more
than six hits, and they were all
singles. Sherry was at all times in
command of his ball, and went down
the line like a veteran.-Washing

Dr. Robert w. Brady, who return

OUTFIELD AND PITCHING

2 The Baseball Club held another
meeting on Monday evening. The
management read letters which
showed very bright prospect of
forming a league between Carbon
dale, Archibald, Forest City and
Honesdale; perhaps White Mills and
Taylor.
Honesdale's chances of capturing
the flag are very good, all the old
players except one being in line and
several fast youngsters are going to
make a bid for regular berth.
John Schilling for the outfield and
Horace Carr, new southpaw, are
probably the two most promising
candidates.
The plans for a first-class per-
formance for the minstrel are about
carried out. They include two
feature acts from a well known
vaudeville circuit and two singers
from Scranton in addition to the best
home talent obtainable.
Special scenery and costumes as
well as music have been ordered
and rehearsing will soon commence.

FORTY-TWO MEN TURNED OUT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT; GOOD
REPORT.

Captain A L. Conger of the
Twenty-ninth Infantry, U. S. A, sta
toned at Fort Niagara, N. Y, We'd
nesday night, inspected Company E,
Thirteenth Infantry when forty men
and two officers turned out. The
present strength of the company is
So men, and the officers are Captain
Carroll j. Kelly; first lieutenant,
Winford H. Mumford; second lieu
tenant, Edward F. Doney. Accord
ing to Captain Conger, who looked
over the equipment the rifles are in
the best condition of any company
in the Thirteenth Regiment. It's a
very hard thing to keep the rifles
clean, since the smokeless powder
now used, when shot off, forms an
acid, and eats right in the barrel.
The Company expects to be in their
new quarters, the Park Place Arm
ory, within three weeks. Formal
dedication of the new $35, 900 arm
ory, which was built by a firm of
Scranton contractors, will take place
the last week in May. Captain Con-
ger said that the U. S. A. regular
army can muster less than 10000
men at present, including even the
Coast Artillery, as ten of the regi-
ments are now stationed in Alaska
and the PHILIPPINES. First Lieuten-
ant Mumford was prevented by ill
ness from being present at the in
Spection.

$4,000 MARCH IN RAIN
SIX-HOUR PARADE IN HONOR OF
VICTIMS OF FACTORY FIRE.

The skies wept as $4,000 working
women and men marched in process
sion in New York Wednesday to
prove they mourn the fate of the one
hundred and forty-three who were
their fellows who perished in the fire
at No. 23 Washington place March
20 last.
The parade was as impressive as
any New York ever saw; the demean-
or of the participants and of the
quarter of million of spectators was
most solemn.
All proved their grief at the cost
of suffering and self-sacrifice, for
they marched or stood for six hours
in the rain.
And while the procession was
moving, without the blare of music,
timed only by a few muffled drums,
the bodies of the fire victims impos-
sible of Identification were being
buried in Evergreen cemetery,
Brooklyn.
In Washington place, where the
tragedy had occurred, more than T.
600 people packed the two blocks
from wall to wall on both sides of
the street.
Most of the marchers were bare
headed; not one in fifty carried an
umbrella; the street mud oozed
through their thin shoes; they
marched on, silent, uncomplaining.
The crowds on the sidewalks were
as silent as the marchers.
The remains of the unidentified
victims of the fire were taken from
the Bellevue morgue to Evergreen
cemetery in Brooklyn in eight
hearses. One body was that of a
man, six were of girls.
In the casket of the eighth hearse
were a few fragments. Whether
these fragments belonged to one or
to several bodies no one could tell,
so they were buried together. Each
body was placed in a casket of black
broadcloth with silver handles. Up
on the cover of each was a silver
plate, upon which was engraved:
This casket contains a victim OF
the Asch Building Fire, March 25
1911"
One banner was carried on which
was written: 1--WE demand fire pro.

LORIMER "SLUSH" FUND
C. S. FUNK TELLS OF 100000 TO
ELECT SENATOR.

Dispatches from Springfield, ILL.,,
state that Clarence S. Funk, general
manager of the International Har-
vester Company, before the State
Senate Bribery Investigating Com
mittee testified Wednesday that Ed
ward Hines, a millionaire lumber
dealer of Chicago had asked him as
manager of the Harvester Company
to contribute $4,000 to reimburse
certain men who had put up a $780,
900 "slush" fund to elect William
Lorimer to the United States Senate.
Funk testified that Hines named
Edward Tilden, a wealthy Chicago
packer, as the collector of this fund
to reimburse the men who, as Mr.
Hines was quoted as having said,
had underwater" the election of
Lorimer.
The witness said he had given H,
H. Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago
Record-Herald, information in con-
fidence on which the Chicago pub
Usher had based an editorial. The
publication in February last of this
editorial, which charged the use of
100000 fund to elect Lorimer, re-
suited in the calling of Mr.. Kohlsaat
as a witness before the committee.
Mr.. Kohlsaat refused to make
known the name of Mr.. Funk. He
was then given one weeks time in
which to divulge this name, or stand
in contempt of the Senate Commit
tee.
Mr.. Funk testified to-day he had
voluntarily released Mr.. Kohlsaat
from the pledge of confidence, when
he felt that the publisher would be
sent to Jail unless the information
was given.

 In this connection a very ingenious package has been invented for the pro lection of Cotto,ene.
