stitute for Democratic
House Measure.
CuMM|Ns MEASURE WAS
DEFEATED BY VOTE Of ST TO IA
Substitute Offered by Pennsylvania
Senator Was Passed Practically
Without Debate Following the De.
feat Of the Cummins Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The COM
promise wool tariff revision bill. intro
duced by Senator Penrose. passed the
senate last night by a. vote Of "a to 80.
1t was adopted as a substitute for the
democratic bill prepared by the house
of representatives.
The Cummins substitute wool tariff
bill, which represented the views OF
many of the progressive senators. was
defeated by an overwhelming MAORI
ty when it came to vote.
Practically all progressives voted Tor
1t. The measure was defeated, 81 10
H. The senators supporting 1t were
Borah, Bourne. Bristow. Clapp, Craw-
yon, La Toilette. Nelson. Poindexter'
Townsend and Works.
All democrats and the balance OF
the republicans voted against tne
Cummins bill. The defeat of this sub
stitute has been anticipated. and the
knowledge that a compromise meas
ure had been prepared by the repuon-
can leaders. to be onered as soon .a a.
the Cummins bill was disposed OF, aid
ed in preventing the so-called regular
republicans from supporting the Cum
Minis bill
Senator Penrose, acting on behalf OF
the republican members Of the finance
committee, offered the republican SUD
etitute as soon as the Cummins
amendment had been voted down. 1t
was the bill that had been prepared
by Senator Lippitt Of Rhode !slana,
and which had been circulated early
In the day among the republican men,
Gers. both regular and progressive.
The Lippitt-Penrose bill was re- re-
ceived In the spirit of surprise by the
Democratic side Of the chamber. al
enough the democratic leaders were
aware that 1t would be presented as
counter move to their bill for sweep
inE reduction Of the woolen tartn.
Demands were made from the demo-
cratic side for more time to examine
the measure and the republican mem
bers Of the finance committee were
criticised for submitting measure
that the senate did not have to study:
Senator Cummins made formal
statement as to the effect the new Din
would have II adopted. He said 1t
would make many important reduc-
tions In the present tariff rates on
wool and woolen products. On blank
cts, he said. the reduction would be
from IL per cent to "a per cent on the
higher grades, and almost SO per cent
on the cheaper grades, which are
valued at from 80 to 40 cents a pound

MAY Be M|STR|AL
IN DARROW CASE
Illness of Juror Whether
Real or Feigned is
the Cause.

Los Angeles, July 25.-Sensational
developments in the trial of Clarence
S. Darrow, charged with jury brib-
ported that the attorneys for the de-
tense complained to Judge Hutton
that Juror T. A. Leavitt was feigning
illness. and asked for an immediate
Investigation by the court.
The charge was made at a confer
ence between Judge Hutton and the
Darrow attorneys and it freely was
predicted that a substantiation of the
charge would mean a mistrial in the
famous case.
Although much secrecy was MAIN
tanned concerning the conference.
Judge Hutton admitted a serious sit
uatton had arisen. He said there
probably would he another conference
later. The judge expressed the be-
lief, however, that some way would
be found to proceed with the trial
When the illness of Juror Leavitt
was reported Monday the defense at
rorneys asked that the alternate juror,
A. M. Blakeslee be installed as a
regular juror. District Attorney Fred
ericks protested.
It was learned that when the re-
guest by the defense was made. Judge
Hutton was placed in possession of
certain alleged facts which caused
him to send for physician Of his
own choosing to examine Leavitt
According to the defense's attorney.
this physician found no symptoms of
appendicitis. the ailment with which
the juror was said to be suffering.
Further information was said to
have been given Judge Hutton to the
effect that Juror Leavitt's opinions re-
garding the guilt or innocence of Dar-
row had been so freely discussed at
his home prior to his taking a place
on the jury. that they became a mat
ter Of common report among his
neighbors.
For this reason the defense's attor-
ceys are said to have asserted that
Leavitt fe!gned illness for the purpose
Of being excused from the Jury.
Under the law. the alternate Juror
can be used only In the event Of the
death or Hines of regular juror and
because of this provision the defense
is said to have sought 20 have Leav-
tits place filled without making for
NAL charges. against him.
Should the court decline to excuse
Leavitt. a mistrial may result before
the case goes to the Jury.

Fargo, N. D.. July 26.-Amid jeer-
ing and wild calls Of "steam-roller''
and the "toot-toot" that made the
Cnicago convention famous. the third
party convention for North Dakota
was adjourned shortly before 2 o'clock
tnis afternoon, following the election
OF delegates to the national convention
at Chicago and the throwing out of
the convention of many men who had
come mere expecting to participate,
but whose credentials as progressives
were not looked upon favorably by the
credential committee. The commit
tee submitted list Of names of the
men whom it believed qualified to sit
IN the convention which names had
been considered in an executive ses-
sion without any hearing being grant
ed the men who sought a place in the
convention and who were declared in
eligible by the committee. After the
report had been adopted and the mat
ter of electing delegates had been dis
posed of an effort was made to secure
a reconsideration of the report but it
was without avail
Sharp clashes came early TODAY in
the proceedings of the conven-
ton which was convened this morn
Ing with about 100 North Dakotans
present, both democrats and republi-
cans by previous party affiliation.
THESE clashes came over the differ
ences of opinion on the question of
the convention, and the proposition Of
naming an entire new state ticket
from governor down. Final decision
on the question of qualification was
placed in the hands of a committee
OF seven appointed by Temporary
Chairman Lauder. who was elected
by acclamation. and it was the sense
Bartlett Of Griggs county and passed
oN the convention that men of pro-
gresstVe tendencies should only b..
recognized.
During the debate which became
heated another motion was presented
by Mr. Bartlett making 1t the sense
OF the meeting that no state ticket
be nominated at this time and that
motion also was passed unanimously
previously formulated by some of the
leaders of the movement. The storm
broke when Bartlett's motion to ap-
point the qualifications committee
was presented. He believed that men
participating should be vouched for
as to their progressiveness by repre-
sentatives Gsln.a from each county. T. A.
who was to be the Judge of a mans
sincerity in coming to the convention
He wanted to know who could dare
to question the right of any man to
attend under the call that had been
issued.
Chairman Lauder declared in an
swer that the convention must be
tected from imposters from men not
in their hearts in accord with the
movement. but who might attempt to
control it. Curtis responded that he
was not here to try to run the con-

dentials for which are based on state
issues.
James Person of Fargo thought the
convention had been called in the
interests of Colonel Roosevelt and
that if there was any purpose under
cover to use it to defeat Hanna, 1t
was called under hypocrisy. He also
man Lauder quoting the latter against
Hanna. Carroll of Ward thought the
convention was getting away from tn
real points saying that the men who
called the meeting had not done 80
with the intention of injuring anE
particular candidate. Mr.. Lauder
claims that his remarks to Mr. Per
SON were his private views and not
intended to have any bearing upon
the action Of this convention or of
attempting to express the purpose ot
the convention.
Torger Synnes OF Minnewaukan
said his name had been put on the
call without consultation and that he
was in favor of the national situa-
in the field. He contended that the
time had come when there was need
of rational division between the
progressives and the conservatives OF
both parties instead of the presen.
division. Chairman Lauder said that
his views were favorable to no action
on the state ticket at this time and
Bartlett's motion to that effect was
placed before the convention.
j. D. Bacon of Grand Forks said
he had come here with the sunnosi-
ton that he had a right to attend the
convention. He had come up he said
to find out for himself if he could
properly come into it. He believed
this the time to thrash out the ques-
<s<lr L.
the real object of the party was ma
ttonal in scope. The state had held
primary and had named it's candi-
dates and he did not believe that this
was the time to single out any man
or men from that list and defeat
them. If that is the object he de-
clared that the convention should not
earnest in the fight for Roosevelt.
Butler of Ransom declaring he had
been a progressive since he was able
to vote, did not believe it right and
proper that the state situation should
enter into the national question.
Chairman Lauder made burning
speech at this time declaring that tho
party, the common foe of which was
the old parties. ANY man who was
not willing to burn his bridges behind
him. he contended, had no right to
attempt to participate If Roosevelt
had not been supported by Hanna.
Mckenzie and kindred coherts in the
March election he claimed that h.
would have carried the state and he
declared that the same element was
represented here now tryin~ to throw
its hooks into this convention.
]. w. Scott of Gilby and J. Fl.
Matthews of Larimore both made
short addresses disclaiming the right
of the convention to bar anyone on a
division of opinion as to state issues.
