LORlMER COOL WITNESS
Cross Examination Fails to Tan
gle Him Up.

washington, Jan. IA DAYS cross-eX-
animation OF Senator Lorimer before the
investigating committee failed to develop
any sensations. Apparently It had not
tangled his story, and certainly 1t did not
rufIie his temper.
Most OF the cross-examination was di-
rected to Mr.. Lormer's recital OF political
conditions I'm Illinois when the Legislature
was electing Senator in 1909, the personal
associations of Democrats with Republi-
cans and the reasons why he believed the
Democrats voted for him. When Senator
Lorimer got to talking politics he coined
a few epigrams.
The direct primary in every Northern
state destroys the cohesveness OF the ma
jorlty OF the party" was one of them.
Others were:
/ never go around trying to pick quar-
rels with people opposed to me l usually
go and do something to offset what they are
trying TO do"
When l have anything to do I have
habit OF getting up in the morning and
doing It,"
counsel for the committe got into the
record the fact that after lOl votes had
oeen cast in the Legislature on the day
Lorimer was elected. seven Republican
Senators who had not voted for him
changed their votes in his favor, making
loS who elected him.
Regarding the opposition TO Governor
Deneen. Mr.. Lorimer said there were men
In the Legislature in 1909 who would have

ONLY Product of Dominion Woods En-
titled to Free Entry from Canada.

Washington. Jan. 16.---To be entitled to
free entry into the United States from
Canada, wood pulp and paper must be the
nroduct of the woods OF the Dominion and
not Canadian manufacture of foreign ma

THE question was raised on a recent i'm
,or,stion at Detroit OF paper from Canada
The paper was made in Canada from wood

wood pulp and paper we're among those who
..oon,iv appealed under the "most-favored
a,,on" clause OF the commercial treaties

RAYNER FOR TREATIES
Ratify Them lust as They Stand,
He Urges in Senate.

Washington, Jan. l6.--The Senate to-day
considered the arbitration treaties with
France and Great Britain on motion Of
Senator Lodge. Senator Rayner. OF Mary
land. spoke. asking Senators not 10 inter
rupt him.
Mr.. Rayner contended that afrcr the pro-
posed Joint High Commission had deter
mined TO submit a controversy to arbitrn-
tion It would be useless TO give tho Senate
-the right TO reverse the commissions ac-
tiun. lie said the treaties would become
a mockery and farce II such resolution,
permitting arttrators 10 decide d case and
then giving the defendant the right to re-
verse II II the award did not suit. were
written into the ratihcations. a. proposed
by Senator Lodge. lie said, in part:
What is the use OF having the High Com
mission, OF paying the enormous expense
and Of investing II with the power that it
has II It's judgment Is not going 10 amount
10 anything whatever on the face of the
earth and II the Senate shall have the
right To set II aside whenever II suits
them? To me the whole complicated sys-
TEN Of the treaty IS absurd II you propose
TO tack proposition OF this sort 70 IT,
II the State Department has changed its
mind-and II appears that IL has-theu let
us rewrite the treaty and be frank with
each other and strike OUT the clause which
gives the commission the right 10 deter
mine whether IT shall send a controversy
| 70 arbitration. | am for the treaties az
they stand. / am perfectly willing 10 abide
by the decision Of the Joint High Commits
sion. But ! am not willing TO enact a
comedy like this, which places the whole
power In the hands Of the Senate and then
leaves foreign countries % understand that
! the power vested In the commission is
genuine one and that we intend 10 abide
by H.
l have no objection 10 the resolution of
Senator Root in the formal ratification.
| That is the way the treaty ought TO he
passed and ought to be adopted, so as 20
make II perfectly plain that we will not
arbltrate questions like the Monroe Doc
, trine, state Indebtedness or immigration
Senator Rayner said the treaties did not
mean an alliance with Great Britain or any
other country. and added
II they did would rather see the treaties
torn into shreds than accepted. The day
will come, when Germany will enter into
the compact and when that occurs and the
United States and Great Britain and Ger
many and France sign and seal the cove
nant the era OF universal peace will dawn
upon the world
The Senate has been informally can
vassed on the strength Of the treaties by
Senators on both sides OF the question
The administration Senators are especial
ly hopeful. though for delay to muster
more support.
One poll made by Senator who is sup
porting the treaties figures out sixty votes
for the treaties unamended or amended in
some acceptable way, six of these being
somewhat subject to doubt: fourteen
against them. one still open to slight doubt
and the remainder doubtful.

r1inistration.. George W. Perkins has been

the Steel Trust and the same Is true OF
Governor Osborn OF Michigan. Moreover
Mr. Perkins was the head and front OF the
International Harvester Trust and exerted
every effort, end successfully, for num-
Der OF years 10 prevent its prosecution as
a trust. Dan Hanna, owner OF three Ohio
newspapers, is under indictment. Walter
Brown, state chairman OF Ohio, is not only
Mr.. Hanna's lawyer, but the President de-

way perturbs the President or his friehuS'
II IS known for instance. that Ormsoy MI
Harg Is In the South seeking to secure deie-
gates for Colonel Roosevelt. and II Is as
sumed that Perry Heath, who has gone
West. is on the same mission. II is known
that George w Perkins is financing MI
McHarg, and II is believed that he is supply
ing the snews Of war to Mr.. Heath. IT is
known that Dan Hanna and the papers
he controls are fghting the President In
Ohio, that William ]. oliver is fighting him
in Tennessee, and so on but 1t is believed
in administration circles that the course OF
those men is more likely 10 defeat the END
they seek than anything else. Those VINO
know Mr., Roosevelt we'll and that includes
the President, do not for a moment believe
that he will permit himself TO be the steel
trust candidate for President, or the candi-
date Of the late International Harvester
trust, and they further believe that If the
men who are now leading the Roosevelt
movement persist they will gain for them
selves only an emphatic reputation by the
ex- President. 1t is not believed that Mr..
Roosevelt has lent any announcement 10
any Of the men who are using his name or
that he would accept a nomination which
did not come to him as the unanimous de-
mand Of the Republican National Conven-
tion. OF course the men who are conduct
ing this spite fight are doing II under cover

them with the futility Of their efforts to IN
duce them 10 boast Of the powerful financial
interests behind them. The only men OF

violation Of diplomatic proprieties made
that step Inevitable. William ]. oliver
wanted certain large contracts on the Pan
anna Canal, which the President did not
think II proper to give him, and Governor
Stubbs of Kansas made representations re-
garding patronage TO the President and was
frankly told that his representations were
false. Ormsby McHarg was practically
dropped from the government service be-
cause he made public letter attacking ex-
President Roosevelt. and since then he has
been deprived of annual fees of $1,000 for
services TO the Indians. an adequate return
for which Secretary Fisher did not believe
he rendered. During his stay in Alabama
McHarg has been the guest Of Oscar Hunt
ley who aspired to be federal Judge and
whom the President did not find suitable for
the appointment. That such an aggregation
of the dlsgruntled can accomplish much.
other than TO make noise, is not believed
by the Presidents supporters
WAR ON TAFT.-Real war on the Presl-
dent Is about to be made by certain Demo
Gratis, notable among them that erudlte
statesman, Senator Hitchcock, OF Ne

peatedly referred TO the pending arbttra-
ton treaty as IAN entangling alliance with
Great Britain" has introduced a resolu-
ton directing the Committee on Foreign
Relations to ascertain by what authority
the President recently ordered a small
body OF troops TO China. No objection was
made in the Senate 10 the passage OF the
resolution, although Senator Warren called
attention to the fact that the United States
has a treaty with China which provides
that certain guard shall be maintained In
that empire Mr.. Hitchcock made the sur
prisng assertion that there was no treaty
with China and said that the act Of the
President in sending troops there, in CO.
operation with other powers, was an act
OF war which could not be cOnstitutionally
performed without authority from Con-
gress. etc. Senator Reed. another brilliant
addition to the Democratic forces in the
Senate. also said that the course OF the
President amounted to an act OF war. II
is, perhaps, fortunate for the President
