TAFT REPORTS ON PAPER
Tells House Free Entry Question
Is Sent to Courts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--ln message TO the
House Of Representatives to-day President
Taft announced that this government would
refuse to admit wood pulp and paper free
from any other nation than Canada until
the proper courts have decided the question
raised by many European governments I'M
der the favored nation clauses OF their
treaties. :,
Nftcr the massage OF the Canadian reci-
procjty bill by which wood pulp and paper
from Canada were admitted free into the
United States, six European countries de-
manded that their wood pulp and print
paper be admitted free. Last month the
House adopted a resolution asking the
President what nations had made these
claims and to-dav's message was In answer
to that resolution.
The President says that the questions of
law now raised can be better considered I'm
a court of law than by Executive construc-
tion. and continues
OF the Treasury Department TO admit wood
pulp and paper under the joint effects OF
the Canadian reciprocity act and the Ia
vored nation clauses OF the treaties with
other countries shall stand as the attitude
of the government pending the considera-

L0RIMER DENIES BRIBERY
Senator's Counsel Hints at In
trigue by Questions.

Washington, Jan. 9-Senator William
| Lorimer to-day began testifying in his own
defence. 1t was the Illinois Senator's first
| appearance in the witness chair since the
Senate ordered an investigation Of his cleo
tion, and II attracted a large audience,
composed chiefly of women.
The first question Judge Hanecy put TO
Senator Lorimer after the latter had taken
the stand was a blunt and leading one.
did you ever pay anything of value TO
anybody for your election?' he asked.
Il never did" replied Senator Lorimer.
Then Judge Hanecy repeated the question
in different forms, evidently framed to
cover the same inquiry from every angle,
and each time Senator Lorimer turned
toward the committee and replied:
II never did"
Judge Hanecy then led the Senator
through a recital OF political conditions In
Illinois before his election. The inference
from the drift of his questions was that
he expects TO accuse Governor Deneen OF
having been responsible for political IN
trigue which resulted in the defeat OF Sen
ator Hopkins.
Most OF Senator Lorimer's testimony was
OF conversations with Governor Deneen
about the election in the Illinois Legis-
lature. and he brought out the breach Oe'
tween Deneen and Hopkins.
Did Governor Deneen ever suggest that

Selection Of Delegates.

The committee with little discussion
adopted the Chamberlain resolution, modi-
fed 10 such an extent, to placate all those
who were inclined to oppose it. that it goes
little further than the resolution adopted
by the Republican committee. 1t permits
the territorial and state committees to pro-
vide for the selection Of delegates and al
ternates by primaries if the committees
deem it possible and desirable to do so
with proper and sufficient safeguards"
The latter phrase was inserted by the COM
mittee. The resolution. which was framed
by a subcommittee headed by Clark How
ell Of Georgia, is an follows:
That IN the choice Of delegates and al
ternates to the National Democratic Con-
yenton Of 1912. the Democratic state or
territorial committees may, II not other
wise directed by law of such states or ter
Titories, provide for the direct election Of
such delegates or alternates If in the opin-
ion OF the respective committees It is
deemed desirable and possible to do so with
proper and sufficient safeguards. Where
such provision is not made by the TespeC-
tive committees for the choice OF delegates
and alternates, and where the state laws
do not provide specifically the manner Of
such choice, then the delegates and alter
mates TO the said national convention shall
be chosen in the manner that governed the
choice Of GC:-sates from the respective
states and territories TO the last National
Democratic Convention. ....u
Another resolution was adopted, authoriz-
ing the chairman TO select. in addition TO
the vice-chairman and secretary Of the com
mittee, seven other members TO constitute
q committee on arrangements for the con
vention. Chairman Mack said that he
would announce the personnel OF the com
mdttee in Buffalo.

The State Bureau of Labor has
