CHICAGO, Nov. . Senator Curnmin of
Iowa was th ptinclial speaker at the an
nuel banquet of the Marquette club here
tonight.
Senator Cummins made a spirited reply
to F9 aker Joseph U. Cannon, who recently
criticised the attitude of tlje senator and
"Insurgents" as to the tariff and declared
thut Hcnator Cummlr.e practically pro
posed to Join hands with Bryan.
Mr. Cummins branded the latter asser
tlon as false, declaring It to be 'simply an
tioucal to blind passion and a senseless
) prejudice."
Furthermore, ha said, there was no In
tention to accept as final the revision of
the tariff against which the 'Insurgents-'
tVd.
W t marvel at not only tha audacity, but
the madness which Inspires the attack
Which has been made upon the Insurgents
for If Mr. Cannon and his allies shall be
successful In putting every man out of
the. republican party who would not have
voted for the tariff bill had he been a
member of congress, ie win have eliml
natrd a majority of the republicans In
every northern state from Ohio to the
Itocky Mountains," declared Senator Cum
mlna.
Further along the speaker said: "To say
that the tariff bill Just adopted Is not a
fulfillment of the republican platform Is
only the truth and It contains no Invita
tion or suggestion to any republican to
forsake hla party candidate."
Mr. Cummins said that the republicans
In sympathy with the Insurgents Intended
to reduoe the Influence of leaders In the
party, mentioning Senator Aldrlch, Speaker
Cannon and Representative Payne In this
connection, to that point at which they
wilt feel It necessary to consult rather
than command.
"Our .struggle," he declared, with, em
phasis, "will not be to exclude anybody
from the republican party, but upon the
principle involved we ask no quarter "and
hall give none,"
Mr. Cummins said he Intended to
strengthen a crusade for a tariff commis
sion. Hallway rate regulation and the currency
question were also discussed by the
speaker.
Opens Oona oa fno,
Mr. Cummins, In beginning his remarks,
refrred to the controversy within the
party ranks, said he was anxious to pre
) serve the party strength, and took the op
portunity to speak of tho dispute In the
hope that it better understanding may
follow a fair and candid discussion of tne
differences of opinion.
"A month ago," said he, "a distinguished
son of Illinois came to Iowa obviously
angry, and therefore In one of his hysteri
cal moods. He made a speech ostensibly
In defense of the rules of the house of
rt presentalrYes, but which was, In fact,
an assault upon those who had opposed the
V republican majority In congress upon the
' tariff measure. Not content with burning
us at the stake, he scattered our ashes
to the four winds in order to make sure
that we would be lost to the republican
iWlty fore
to a pre'-
forever and ever. He exalted ine
-eminence among the Insurgents,
which I do not deserve, but which I would
be proud to occupy, and declared with a
vehemence which you who know him will
appreciate that 1 had become on ally of I
certain eloquent gentlemen whose quad
rennial business has been to carry the
democratic banner to overwhelming defeat.
i "Warming to his work, he made another
tech a few days ago at Elgin, in whloh
he repeated In all the colors of his rainbow
phraseology the denunciation of those who
committed the horrid crime of voting
against the tr.rtff bill, and again consigned
them to the lowest depths of democralto
perdition And then to completely satisfy
his lust for blood, he assigned to Senator
LaFollette and myself a superheated
chamber In this region of the damned.
With all these Imprecations, expulsions and
exterminations still ringing In my ears, I
feel like a member of the fated brigade
of which the poet sang:
Cannon to the right of them,
Cannon to the left of them.
Volleyed and thundered.
No Exaalaloa for Standpatters.
"The day has come for an Inquiry Into
the qualifications of a republican. I am
willing to accept an arbiter, but It will not
be Aldrlch. It will not be Payne, It will
not be Cannon. They are all republicans,
and I hope they will continue to be re
publicans. I assume they voted according
to their consciences; and while I differ
from them materially and emphatically, I
have no disposition to enter the business
ot expelling men from the republican party
' A o long as they yield even a nominal al
" Isglsnee to republican platforms and sup
port republican candidate. I say of them
(and I say It with the utmost feeling for
them personally) that the republicans who
are In sympathy with the course pursued
by tha liunu genta Intend to take away
from these men some of the power which
they now csviase. and intend to reduce
their lnf.uet.ee to that point at which they
will feel U necessary to consult rather
than to command.
"It will not avail Mr. Cannon and hi
associate anything to declare that w have
Joined hands with the democratic party
for every Intelligent man knows that this
la simply an appeal to a blind passion and
a senseless prejudice. The Insurgents be
lieve that the republican party Is the best
iutttru mentality to secure and maintain
good government. They are proud of Its
history, they love Its traditions and I
venture the prediction that In the cam
paign .of, next year their voices will be
beard fftjfa above all others defending Its

the substance of a notice given last night
to Warriner. The warning. It was said
was riven to Warriner and his friends In

The announcement from Chicago that
Eddie Cook, former clerk In the Big Four

person named by Warriner as the man

A warrant charging Warriner with em

Warriner.
"Well. I'll say one thing to you," added
Warriner, "I am not alone In this, and I
want te say another thing. I never
played a game of poker In my life. There
is no woman In the case, that Is, as far
as I am concerned. The perfect under-

Warriner, It Is said, fjrst took money

Warriner, when arrested this afternoon,
requested that he be allowed to remain In

Warriner declared that he ha not a oent

Aldrlch of Rhode Island, before the Com
mercial club here tonight, delivered the
first of a series of western speeches on
currency reform end the work of the
monetary commission, of which he la
chairman.
To those who expected Senator Aldrlch
to use the occasion for the promulgation
of the central bank project or any other
plan or theory of national finanoe, his
speech was In the nature of a surprise.
He declared at the outset 'that the ques
tion of a definite plan for reforming ex
isting conditions has not ,et been taken
up by the commission, and he added
that no plan would be adopted "until after
an opportunity has been afforded for the
most careful and exhaustive study of all
the conditions that surround the prob
lem." Appeal for Co-operatloa.
He saM he had accepted the present oc
casion " as an opportunity "to make an
earnest appeal to you, as the representa
tive men of an important section of the
country, to give to the commission the
advantage of your valuable counsel and
co-operation In securing the adoption of
a satisfactory reedlal plan one that will
surely conserve and promote the vital In
terests of all the people of this great
nation." - .,;
Senator Aldrlch paid tribute to the busi
ness men of Chicago, which he described
as "perhaps the most important financial
center of the country," as having by their
enterprise, ability and foresight, con
tributed largely to the upbuilding of a
great and prosperous empire, and he
pledged the best efforts and Judgment of
the monetary commission "to secure the
adoption of a monetary system the wisest
and best the world has seen."
' Btar Task for Commlaaloa.
The senator said In part:
"It Is my purpose tonight to call the at
tention of the bankers and business men
ot Chicago to some of the more salient
features of the work of the National Mone
tary commission. The questions committed
It it are so vast and Involve so many col
lateral Issues, that my statement must
necessarily be fragmentary and Incomplete.
The Importance of the task of finding legis
lative remedies for 'the defects and weak
nesses of our currency and monetary sys
tem cannot be overestimated. The Indus
trial and commercial development of the
country, the healthy groweh of its banking
facilities; In fact, the continued march of
national progress and prosperity, which all
hope for, will be either greatly accelerated
or retarded by the wisdom or unwisdom of
the action which may ls taken looking to
a solution of the problems submitted to the
commission.
"We expect to be able to give to the
publlo within a comparatively short time
the fullest information with refereno to
the experience and practical methods of
other countries and of our own. This In
vestigation will be the most complete and
comprehensive with reference to these sub
jects that has ever been taken.
"When this record has been submitted,
and time has been given to analyze c care
fully, we shall, before reaching any deci
sion, 'ask the representatives of business
Interests throughout the country for an
opinion as to what, If any, portion of It Is
pertinent and valuable In the formulation
of a plan for the United 8tates."

Men Who Turn State's Evidence Give
Testimony in Ten Sleep Case
at Basin, Wyo.
BASIN. "Wyo.. Nov. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Sensational developments took
place In the Ten Sleep creek murder coses
today , when Albert Keye and Charles
Faris, themselves participants In the raid
last April, confessed to their parts In the
murders' o fthree sheepmen and the sub
sequent cremation of the corpses of two
of them.
Sine th end of the grand Jury term,
when Indictments were returned against
seven cattlemen reports have credited
Keyes and Faris with having turned state's
evidence In return for promised Immunity.
In th prosecution's opening statement
th fact was flatly announced ' and to
day's confirmation therefore comes only
a si half surprise. Both men declared that
when they Joined the raiders It was with
a distinct understanding that no human
lives were to be taken, but that the sheep
and property of the Allemand-Emge out
fit were to be destroyed and the men
warned to get out of the country and stay.
Keyes denied having seen a mart shot or
having fired a shot himself. Faris admitted
discharging his rifle four or five times
and declared under oath that he was wit
ness to the death of Allemand, owner of
the sheep outfit, and declared Herbert
Brink, defendant now on trial, fired the
shot.
Previously Pierre Caffarel and Charles
Helmer, herders, who were captured when
the camp was raided, testified that they
had been summoned by armed and masked
men about 10:30 o'clock the night of April
t, taken from the wagons, commanded to
dress and were then marched away over
a slight hill out of sight of the wagons
and made to lie down while the raiders
did their work. Caffearel' testlf ledthat he
did not recognise any ot the members of
the attacking party, but Helmer declared
that the mask of one of them fluttered
In the breeze long enough for him to. rec

Evidence Tends to Show that Womaa
Wmn Loosely Ronnd and
Gas Wae Not In

PARIS, Nov. 6 Madame Stelnhell. who
was led fainting from the court room yes
terday, was not called to the stand when
the trial was resumed today.
The prosecution had announced that It
would call sixty-seven witnesses and three
of those who were heard late yesterday.
The opening examination today was along
the same lines, police witnesses being In
troduced to describe the appearance of the
Stelnhell home Immediately after Adolph
Stelnhell and his mother-in-law, Madame
Japy, had been murdered
The purpose of the testimony was to
show that there were no evidences of a
genuine character to support the claim of
the widow that robbery was the motive for
the crime.
The first witness called today was Remy
Coulliard, formerly a servant In the Steln
hell household, but who Is now In the mili
tary service. He appeared In the uniform
of a dragoon.
It was Coulliard who discovered Mme.
Stelnhell bound and gagged In her bed and
the bodies of her husband and step-mother
in adjoining rooms. He recounted today
the story which he had told the police,- In
his examination special emphasis was laid
on the condition in which Mme. Stelnhell
was found and the way In which she was
bound and gagged.
Pearl Foand la Pocket.
'Soon after the crime Coulliard left the
service of Mme. Stelnhell and on Novem
ber 21, 1908, he was arrested on suspicion
of having been Implicated In the murders.
A pearl which Mme. Stelnhell had claimed
was stolen from the home at the time of
the murders had been found In his pocket,
but after he had been held In Jail for sev
eral days he was released on Mme. Stein
hell's confession that she had placed the
Jewel In his pocket.
She claimed that she had become con
vinced that the servant was guilty and, be
lieving that If arrested he would confess,
she planned to bring him Into the custody
of the police. a
Coulllard's testimony was damaging to
the defendant. He insisted that when he
found Mme. Stelnhell she told him only
of a burglary, making no mention ot her
husband and step-mother, who lay dead In
their rooms.
Womaa Loosely Bound.
' He said the gag was not In her mouth,
but near the pillow on which her head
rested. Her hands were tied In front ot
her, and not behind her back, as she had
testified, the vitness said, and both the
ropes about her wrists and ankles were
loosely bound.
, Moreover, the witness said that after the
police had arrived and the worn had
told them the story of the murders, the
telephone bell rang, whereupon Madame
Stelnhell, who had been feigning illness
and pain, ordered him from thn room, and,
springing from her bed, answered the tele -phone.

of 3t00;OCO to hl great Institute at Tus
kegee, Ala., by John Stewart Kennedy of
New York.
Mr. Washington was most cordially re
ceived by his own people, who did not try
to conceal their pride In him as one of
their race and he was given the same
reception In both his addresses. His audi
ence at the Auditorium was large and
representative and it must have made him
feel that his address was heartily appre
ciated, for It applauded htm frequently
and vigorously.
How Can They Help "onihf
"How can the negro who lives In Omaha
and the state of Nebraska help the negro
In the south Is tho eiueotlon which I wish
to answer in my remarks tonight," said
Mr. Washington In beginning his Audltor
lus address. i
"Rightly and naturally, the colored people
who live in the northern states are In
terested In the progress of the millions of
our race who live In the southern states.
We are one people. What affects those In
the south sffects those In the north. If
the negroes who reside In the north make
progress. It heirs the Interest of those who
live In the south. If you here In the north
fall to go forward, fall to take advantage
of all your opportunities, you Injure and
hold back the bulk of our race In the
south. ' I
' "Those of you. who live, for example, like
this, have certain advantages as compared
with what our people have In the south.
At the same time, in my opinion, you hav
certain advantages. You hove superior op
portunities for education. In tnosC case
you are sure at all times of the protection
of life and property. You have, however,
the disadvantage in a gteat many cases of
not being able to ute your education as
freely and widely as the negro of the
south. You are not always Tree to sen
your labor, whether It is common labor
or skilled labor, where you desire as the
negro In the south can. Here, while you
will find, as I have stated, advantages,
you will find your children surrounded
by more temptation In a city like this than
In true In the south. You will find competi
tion more severe. You will find It harder to
get upon your feet from an economic point
o fvlew; but the main thing which I want
to Impress upon you Is that you can help
the negro in the south.
How Can They Aid
"Constantly the question Iji asked me
when I am In the north by members of
my race In what way can they be of
service to the millions of our people In
the south. First and foremost, I would
answer that you can help us most In th
south by helping yourselves. Make th
highest degree ot progress here In tha
north.
"The large body of white people by
whom you are surrounded here have never
seen and will never come Into contact with
the millions of negroes In the south, but
they wilt Judge . of the ability, of th
progress of the millions In the south by
what they see of your conduct her In
this city. If you fall and disappoint them,
they will say that the negro In the south
Is a failure and a disappointment. If by
leading Industrious, economic, high, moral
lives, you make a favorable impression, th
white people here will argue that It la
worth while to help the negro In the
south because of your progress In this
city. To be more direct and plain, you
can help us In the south by becoming
the owners of homes here In this city. I
am glad to note that a goodly number
of the colored people In this city own
good, homes. The number, however, should
be largely Increased.
"You can help us, again, by the kind
of occupation In which you are engaged,
by the making of a reputation for thor
oughness, for energy, for Industry In
whatever you engage. v
"I believe that everywhere In this coun
try th negro should become more and
more a business factor In the community
In which he lives. That Is what our peopl
are doing throughout the south.'

"You ran help us, again, by proving to
th white people In a romunlty like this
that our race cannot only earn money
but that It ran save It, that It can exer
clbe that degree of self-control, that degree
of foresight and eclf-saerlfloe which will
enable one to nave today for the rainy
day which will come tomorrow. You
have great opportunities here for earning.
You should see to It that you not only
earn but that you save and thut every
