Washington, D. c., July 11.-Sena-
tor Lorimer today began his speech
defending his right to his seat. lie
followed Senator Reed OF Missouri,
who has made a bitter attack upon
him and his election by the Illinois
legislature.
The Senate chamber filled up slow
ly under the call for a quorum. but
only fifty-six Senators answered to
their names. The Senate galleries
were not half filled.
AS Senator Lorimer began his
speech, he read from manuscript and
his voice was for the first few SEN
tences somewhat indistinct. He de-
clared he proposed to give the Senate
an insight into the character OF the
men who, he said, had tried to ruin
him.
1T is true that the Senate has the
right to deny me seat in this body,
he began, ION the flimsiest pretext or
on no pretext at all. | intend to
show that no vote cast for me was
Influenced by fraud.
''Mr. President" he said in measur-
ed tones, this is no joke, This is
a solemn and serious question. If the
Senate decide to follow the views OF
the minority of this investigation
committee it will be travesty on civ
ilized jurisprudence, a mockery on
justice. 1t will be a declaration that
the Senate has decided to follow the
Red flag; that it has become the ad-
vocate of anarchy; has adopted the
doctrine of the recall as advocated by
its champion.
Senator Lorimer departed from his
manuscript for moment to refer tc
the Chicago newspapers. He de
clared certain of the newspaper own
ers and publishers there would be il
prison if the public prosecutors hat
been active. The Senate gave tht
Illinois senator close attention.
He spoke slowly and with great EN-
phasis. Finally he discarded hi
manuscript and took UP place in tn,

could be heard on both sides of tn.

Atlantic City, \. J., July 11.-lnsur-
gency broke out in earnest in the ma
tional Prohibition convention here to-
day and forced an adjournment of the
first session without transaction OF
any business other than the passage
of a rule to take up during the after
noon, the election Of national chair
man by the convention itself. This
was an insurgent victory.
Attempts were made to go ahead
with the nomination of presidential
and vice presidential candidates but
the insurgents had decided that the
national craftsmanship should first be
settled and they had their way.
A self-constituted committee of con-
vention leaders met and agreed upon
a plan of taking what amounts to
blind ballot on the chairmanship
Under this rule, which the conven-
Iion will be asked to adopt, no nominal
,ion would be allowed but balloting
would continue until one man received
a majority vote.
The friends Of National Chairman
Charles r. Jones of Chicago, were
bent on trying to offset the insurgent
movement to defeat him.
The adoption of the party platform,
drawn by the committee on resolu-
tions also was put off until afternoon.
Many of the delegates are anxious to
end the convention tonight.

is not a violation OF the terms of the

Washington, D c., July 11.-Great
Britain's request for a postponement
Of Panama canal legislation now be-
fore Congress until a formal state
ruent can be filed against the proposed
ship toll provisions likely is to have
little effect in delaying the passage or
the canal bill. Members OF the Senate
inter-oceanic canals committee today
declared there would be no backing
down" by the Senate from its position
in favor of free passage Of American
ships. Senator Lodge, ranking men,
Der of the Senate committee on for
cign affairs declared any further delay
was impossible. He declined, how
ever. to express any final opinion on
the right of the United States to
grant free passage to its own ships
under the existing treaty with Great
Britain.
Senator Grandegee, chairman OF the
canals committee, will make an effort
to have the bill brought before the
Senate as unfinished business as soon
as the Lorimer case has been dispos-
ed of. 1t is doubtful, however, whether
The Senate can reach the bill before
! the British statement arrives, Many
! Senators said Great Britain's repre-
sentatives would be given full con-
sideration."
That not only Great Britain but all
maritime powers might be expected TO
protest against any discrimination in
! favor of American vessels has been
fully expected. Notwithstanding this,
President Taft and Secretary Stimson,
! have committed themselves to the
assertion of the right of the United
| States to regulate traffic in the man
ner provided in the pending bill. The
strongest statement of the administra
tion's position was that made by Secre
tary Stimson in his Kansas City
sDeech November IA, last dealing Wltf
| the Panama canal as work about tt
be completed He declared that he
had not the least doubt OF the right
of the United States to pay tolls OF
American vessels using the canal
which would be equivalent to grantins
them free passage.
He pointed out that substantially ev
cry European government using th'
Suez canal paid such subsidies ant
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, provided
that the rules of the Suez canal wer'
to govern the operation of the Panam'
canal.
President Taft has let it be know
that he proposed to be guided in tn
matter entirely by the will of Con
gress. So if the legislation is perfect
ed on the present lines, the legisla
tive branch of the government will b
bound to lend unqualified support t
the state department in what is a
most certain to be period OF e1
tremely active and pregnant exchans
of notes with the great maritime pow
ers.
While it is true that Great Brital
occupies a position of exceptional II
.. terest and power regarding any lstf
mian canal by reason of her ancien
: undertaking of joint control with tn
United States, it seems certain an
representation the British governmer
may make will be supported by Ge
many and France and perhaps othe
European powers.

and help the thing aIong.
With such a spirit manifest, Chair
man Greer suggested that the sub

the fund. At latest reports the fund

every indication that a large fund

ANDERSON DITCH CAUSES TROUBLE
COVERING UP OF PIPE Line BRINGS CHIEF OF POLICE TO SCENE
LEGAL QUESTIONS AS TO TITLE INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSY

Property holders along Anderson
ditch in the west part of the city
had an alteration with the chief of
police last Friday over the filling in
of Anderson ditch near Nutley street.
The ditch was built during the early
years of the settlement of the Rogue
river valley and has been used for
carrying water for various purposes
ever since. Two years ago the city
bought the ditch and its water rights
from Z. K. Anderson for the sum of
81 900 avowedly for the purpose of
protecting the city's water supply.
Recently the city decided to lay 10
inch water main in the ditch for the
benefit of water users on the higher
attitudes, and, in order that the city
might be protected in cases where it
would be to their advantage to go
outside the tortuous line of the ditch,
right of way deeds were secured from
abutting property holders for this
pipe line. About 500 feet of pipe
was laid according to this plan, the
line of the ditch being followed
throughout. 1t was the purpose of
the city water commissioner and the
fire and water committee that this
pipe line should be used as a sort of
reservoir and that water for those
parties outside the city should be al
lowed to follow the ditch over the
pipe. 1t was specifically provided in
the right of way deeds, however, that
the pipe should be covered when laid
and the problem presented is whether
or not the city is bound to cover it's
pipes in its own ditch, not having en-
croached upon adjoining property
and in the face of verbal agreement
that the pipe line would not have to
be covered this year.
The city of Ashland has for several
years furnished water to orchardists
outside the limits by means of the
Anderson ditch at a cost of 20 celfts
per acre. 1t is alleged by the prop
erty holders involved in the present

Reduced Freight Rates on Pears to
Eastern Points.

The Southern Pacific announces a
voluntary reduction in the freight on
pears and other green fruit, except
apples, of 25 cents per hundred
weight from Ashland and other val
ley points to eastern cities.
The railroad notice reads as fol
lows:
At the earliest possible legal date
a rate of $1.25 per hundred pounds
on green fruit, except apples, in car
loads, subject to a minimum of "a.
600 pounds from all points on the
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon. to
Cincinnati, New York, Boston and
other points in that district, will be
established, the present rate to these
points being $3.50, with the excep-
tion of Boston, which is $1.55, thus
making a reduction of 25 cents and
80 cents, respectively, per hundred
pounds.
This rate applies on pears, prunes,
peaches and other fresh fruits, eX-
cepting apples.
The rate on apples remaining the
same as at present.

$25,OOO FOR JUMPER.
John ID. OIwell Buys Simple Inven-
ton and Patents.

Baby Ruth needed some sort of
amusement, something to hold her
attention while the mother worked.
Baby Ruth's father, F. \. Hawk, a
general blacksmith of Central Point,
found what she needed and closed
the sale of the Baby Ruth jumper
and its patents to John D. Olwell for
$25, 900 and 10 per cent royalty on
the future sales of the article. Baby
Ruth still has her jumper and is
happy.
Like other inventions, it is a little
thing. Simply a canvas bag or net
with holes cut for the little legs to
reach the floor. Springs just allow
the baby to reach the floor with it's
toes, but that is sufficient for spring
ing up. The child finds that it can
touch the floor on the return trip
and soon he is engrossed in healthful
exercise.
Mr.. Hawks caught the first idea,
as before stated, by trying to find
amusement for his little daughter
Ruth. This was in November. Jan
uary he had perfected his idea and
produced the first jumper. He and
Ruth both liked it and more followed
for the neighbors' children.

the same should they accept the pub
lie invitation printed elsewhere in
this issue.
The love for our country's flag is
so intense and general that we won
der there have not been more public
celebrations of this kind. 1t seems
that the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks is distinctively Ameri-
can and intensely patriotic and we
would urge the young people and
high school students to attend this
celebration.
An interesting patriotic program
has been provided, with good music
and speeches. The G. A. R., Wom-

ADVERTISE FOR BIDS.
Medford City Council Ignores Threat
ened Injunction.

Ignoring the injunction that is
threatened, the city council of Med
ford at special meeting Friday af-
ternoon ordered the advertisement
for bids for the tearing down of the
old bridge and replacing it on Jack
son street, where with little repair
it will serve for tAe light traffic over
that thoroughfare. The bids will be
opened at another special meeting of
the council this coming Friday after
noon at $50.
No time is specified in the adver-
tisement for bids as to when the
bridge removal is to be made, but it
is understood that work will begin
Immediately following the granting
OF the contract on the concrete abut-
ments that must be placed on Jack
son street to support the structure.
The old bridge will not, however, be
moved until the new one has been
started, which it is hoped by the
councilmen will not be over a month
distant.
