CATE PROTECTION NOT RIGHT


Washington, Aug. Senator Hol-
lis Of New Hampshire, democrat, flay-
ed the cotton manufacturers Of New
england in tariff speech today in
which he declared that New Eng
land had not been Disseminated
against and asserted tariff reduction
would not ruin the textile industry
there.
The cotton manufacturers have
taken the higher protection and paid
pauper wages" said he. "They are
compelled by statute to work humane
hours and conduct their business on
humane lines and not one has volun-
tarily reduced the hours of labor.
They seek to control the govern
ment to prevent labor legislation and
escape just taxes, to control the po-
lice and inferior courts, and to Sc
cure military aid for the suppression
of strikes They secure special rates
for their goods and other privileges
from the railroads. They oppose the
election Of democrats by coefoing
their employees and they make inor-
dinate profits at present tariff rates.
1t is question whether one-sided
development Of this kind is best for
any community.
Thousands Of adult operatives
work for 81 a week and live under
wretched conditions. The death rate
in our New England mill cities is the
highest in the United States. It is
certain that the cotton industry Of
New England should not receive any
special consideration In the pending
bill due to past good conditions.
In a recent contest in New Eng
land for United States senators GER
tain democratic members Of the leg
islature chanced to be employees Of
a certain great textile corporation.
They were waited on at their homes
and requested not to vote for eau
Gus candidates. They were noS
threatened with discharge but the i'm
plication was very plain. what sort
Of claim have men like this to spec
ial favors Of a democratic legisla-
ture?"

sEouEL 10 LIE LoRIMER cAs

SEQUEL TO THE LoRlMER CASE
Chicago, Aug. 11.-An echo of the
Lorimer bribery case was heard to-
day, when Daniel Donahue, Isaac
stifel and Aileen Heppner were ar
raigned before Judge Brentano for
trial on a charge of conspiracy to
defame the character of Clarence S.
Funk. Mr.. Funk, who at the time
was general manager of the Interna-
tional Harvester company, was a
witness in the investigation that re
suited in the expulsion of William
Lorimer from the United States sen
ate on charges that his election had
been accomplihed by fraud. When
the investigation was at its height
the husband Of the Heppner woman
brought suit against Mr.. Funk for al
legged alienation Of his wffe's aftec-
tions. Mr. Funk claimed that he had
never seen the woman and that the
charge was trumped up to influence
public sentiment in the Lorlmer case.
When the alienation suit came to trial
it fell flat. Subsequently Donahue,
who is an attorney, Stiefel, the head
Of a private detective agency, and the
Hennner woman were Indicted on
charges of conspiracy to defame Mr..
Funk's character.

ever recorded in this region there

pears to have been confined to the
drowning Of live stock in the bot

or four houses by fire or water and
to damage to roads from washoutH.

prised of the various steps taken by
the United States. This may not take
place, however, for several days.
President Wilson has had no direct
communication either with the Huerta
government or the constitutionalist
authorities and he indicated to his
callers today that he would welcome
more information about the purpose
OF the constitutionalists 1t was
learned also that the president has
not yet considered the recognition of
the belligerency Of the constitution
alists, but that insofar as territory
controlled is concerned he regarded
that had by the constitutionalists as
strong enough in proportion to that
controlled by the Huerta government
as to make recognition Of the censti
tutionalists not wholly unjustifiable
from aip-omatic standpoint
There were evidences in the sen
ate of determination on the part Of
the leaders to keep Mexican affairs
out of the debate Members Of the
foreign relations committee said
presidents Wilson had exacted no
promise from them to that end, but

Lind is Guarded

Mexico City, Aug. 11.-The arrival
of John Lind, whose mysterious mis-
sion to Mexico was the direct cause
of a public manifestation yesterday in
support of General Huertas attitude
toward American mediation, has been
devoid Of any thrills When Mr.. Lind
as the personal representative OF
President Wilson's alighted from ais
train last night after tedious days
Journey from Vera Cruz, theer were on
ly few persons about the station.
Mr. Lind persistently maintained
that reticence which he has observed
since he was summoned from his
home in Minnesota to undertake his
present mission. Just what he is to
do here or Just when he will begin the
negotiations for which he has come
are as great mystery as before his
arrival. He was accompanied to the
capital by Mrs. Lind, William Canada
the United States consul at Vera Cruz,
and by Dr. William Bayard Hale, act
ing under instruction of the state de-
partment. The party was received by
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, secretary of
the United States embassy, who has
been acting as charge d affaires since
the resignation of Ambassador Wilson,
and Charles E. Parke, a member Of
the embassy staff. Police in large
numbers guarded, the approach to the
station but as the party was driven to
hotel where reservations had been
made, the public generally assumed an
apathetic attitude.
Reporters who endeavored to inter
view Mr.. Lind met with little success.
Mr.. Lind and his wife did not come
to Mexico prepared for any thing but
a brief visit, travelling with little bag
age. The departure for Mexico was SO
hurried that it occurred to neither
Mrs. Lind nor her husband that warm
er clothing would be wanted in the

Washington, Aus. 11.-President
Wilson let it be known today that he
was inclined to believe there was a
desire, proceeding from sources un-
known to him, to bring on war be-

The president does not regard the
movement as extensive but as very
troublesome and referred to misrep-
resentation in some individual news
papers. He indicated that he shared
somewhat the views Of Senator Will
liams, who declared in speech last
Saturday that an organized lobby ex-
listed to involve the United States in
war.
There is no occasion of for alarm
in the opinion of the president, who
told callers that within the last "a
hours the Mexican situation had i'm
proved materially It was made clear
by the statements Of those with whom

Mexico City, Aug. II, Ex-Governor
John Lind, the personal en'0J ef tres-
ident Wilson, in Mexico City today
installed himself in temporary offices
at the United States embassy as un-
official advisor to the American charge
d affaires, Nelson o'shaughnessy. Mr.
Lind passed several hours in close
conference with the charge.
Mr. Lind was an early riser this
morning. The sun had not mounted
high over the mountains before he was
astir. He took a stroll through the
park in front of his hotel and down
San Francisco avenue before the shut
ters we're opened from the store win
dows
A few hours later an embassy auto
mobile called at the hotel and con-
veyed Mr.. Lind to the embassy Of the
United States, where, to the accom-
paniment Of the hammerings of car
renters in adjoining rooms where
they were preparing the household
goods of Henry Lane Wilson, the
former American ambassador here,
for shipment to the United States, the
advisor entered on his duties.
In the meantime, Mrs. G. A. Parker,
the wife of an embassy attache, who
is doing the honors in the absence of
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, called on Mrs.
Lind and arranged for drive this af-
ternoon about the city.
DR.. William Bayard Hale, who no
longer hides his identity as the con-
fidential envoy Of President Wilson,
called at the embassy today and had
a long conference with Ex-Governor
Lind and Mr.. o'Shaughnnessy.
Federico Gamboa, the new Mexican
secretary fof foreign relations, speak
ing today with regard to Mr.. Lind's
mission, said q have great faith in
the reasonableness of the judgment
of the United States and I have the
conviction that the differences be-
tween the United States and Mexico
will soon be adjusted"
