WA R III NGTON, June J.-The proposed
v . democratic measure for revision of th
wool tariff the Underwood bill wag unani
mously approved by a full democratic cau
cus at midnight, twelve hours after It had
been made public by the ways and means
committee. Its endnrsment followed some?
rapid maneuvering by the democratic house
, leaders, who devised a scheme which ef
fectually disposed of the opposition of the
free wool advocates.
Through a resolution which leaves the
democratic party open In the future to
renew Its advocacy of free trade In raw
wool, but whldh co.nmlts all democrats to
the support of the present bill as a revenue
measure, the divergent Interests were
' brought together In the caucus shortly be
fore midnight and almost unanimous agree
ment waa reached.
The final vote was made unanimous, but
the following members were excused from
a pledge to support the caucus action:
Representatives Rucker (Colo.), Ashbrobk.
Francis and Sharp (O.) and Gray (Ind ).
Policy Hot Given Vp.
The resolution, agreed on In a confer
ence of the free raw wool advocates, was
Introduced In the caucus by Representa
tive Kitchln of North Carolina, who had
advocated free raw wool, tils resolution
declared that the support of a duty on
raw wool should not be construed aa an
abandonment of the democratic policy of
free Wool. The need for a duty, the reso
lution stated, was due to republican ex
travagances which made necessary large
revenue.
Speaker Clark took the floor Immediately
and supported the resolution which had
been framed In the conference, which was
participated In by himself and Representa
tives Burleson of Texas, James of Ken
f lucky, Fitigerald of New York and Kttchin
of North Carolina. The resolution was
then unanimously adopted by the caucus.
Advocates of free raw wool, backed by
William J. Bryan, earlier In the day of
fered amendments to the Underwood bill,
putting wool Immediately upon the free
list, or proposing a gradual reduction that
would abolish the entire duty within five
years. While direct reference to Mr.
Bryan by name waa not made by Chair
man Underwood or others who spoke dur
ing the day tn favor of the 80 per cent
juty, they replied to the sense of these
V free wool demands by pointing out the
absolute necessity for a small duty on
raw wool.
Twemty Per Ceat Daty.
. Chairman Underwood gave a complete
tariff to 900 democrats who assembled In
the party caucus at noon. It proposes a
duty of 10 per cent on raw wool, a reduc
tion of more than BO per cent from the
Payne-Aldrlch law, now In force. Aa soon
aa he had concluded his opening speech,
Mr. Harrison of New 'York, offered an
amendment that would abolish the wool
duty In five years. It proposed a gradual
reduction on each year for the five-year
period. Mr. Harrison said this was the
true democratic principle of tariff making,
to put on the free list a raw material so
universally used.
Mr.- Randall of Texas followed with an
amendment for the Immediate abolishment
of the entire duty on raw wool. With
heee three proposals before them, the
democrats gave close attention to the de
bate, participated In by members of the
ways and means committee.
Two of the chief speeches In favor of
free wool were made at the night session
of the caucus by Representative Randall
of Texas and James of Kentucky, mem
bers of the ways and means committee.
Mr. James pleaded for the abolition of the
wool duty on the ground that it would
directly benefit consumers.
He said that Bryan had been accused
of attempting to dictate to congress on the
free wool question and denied that Bryan's
open statement was anything more than
an endorsement of the first action of the
ways 'and means committee. Thirty dus
ttot Mr. Bryan ' Issued his statement,
ilr. James said, the committee had voted
In favor of free wool, but later It re
versed its position and adopted the SO per
cent duty.

WASHINGTON, June 1 In his speech In
the senate on the I rimer resolution Sen
ator Stone undertook to develop the attl
Itude of the progressive republican senators
r ibward the democratic legislative program.
Announcing himself to be an organisation
democrat, the Missouri senator said that
If the progressives' desire to act with the
democrats they should join the democratic
party. That, ha said, would be an evidence

put stand oft and denounce somebody; I
confess I am tired of their professions, I
want them to fish or cut bait."
Mr. Borah responded In an effort to show
there were differences in the democratic
as well aa republican ranks. He asked
how the democrats were going to vote on
reciprocity. Mr. Stone confessed he did
not know, but said he thought moat of
them would be for It.
"Just wait until we come to the wool
schedule, then we shall all be together,"
Mr. Bailey remarked.
"And so will we," Mr. Smith of Michigan
quickly replied for the republicans
Mr. Borah asked Mr. Bailey if he in
cluded Mr. Bryan In his assurance of
harmoney on wool. '
"Mr. Bryan Is not a member of any
legislative body. It Is not necessary to In
clude him," the Texas senator said.
But Mr. Borah Insisted that his activities
as an adviser had made Mr. Bryan prac
tically a member of congreva.

American Polo Team'
Defeats Britishers
After Tight Battle
English Cavalry Officers Outplay
Meadowbrook Four for Three
Quarters of Match.
NEW YORK, June 2 The American
grip cn the International polo title was
Siven a lively shaking Thursday by the
challenging English cavalry officers, who
in the first of the matches for the trophy
outplayed and outhlt the Mendowbrook
four for three quarters of the match, only
to be outridden by the defenders until the
score finally stood 4H gonls to t. In favor
of America.
As the Americana were 8 to 1 favorites,
the strength of the English team aston
ished the big crowd and the game was
replete with thrills tor the greatest attend
ance of expert pololsts ever seen in this
country.
The second match wll be played on Mon
day, for neither team cared to renew hos
tilities on Saturday after today's hard
struggle.
Meadowbrook scored five goals, princi
pally through the great tiding of Devereux
Mllburn, white Lieutenant A. N. Edwards
drove the ball four times between the
American goal posts, but three fouls for
crossing cut each core, the Americans by
a halt and the Englishmen by a full goal.
It was a keenly-contested game and
played faster than was anticipated after
yesterday's heavy rain. Throughout
threo-quarters of the sixty minutes of act
ual play the pace was ret by the English
officers, and the eace with which they
scored goals, ehpecially In the fifth period,

NEW INQUIRYJOR LORIMER
Senate Decides Upon Another Probe
to Be Conducted by Sub-Committee.
CHARGES ENLIVEN LONG DEBATE
eaatar Browa Waals Lorlaaer
Taraed Oat Wlthoat Farther la
reetlaatloa and Proposes
Sack a Reaolatloa. , N
WASHINGTON, June 1. -Senator Lorl
nier of Illinois faces another Investigation
at the hands of his colleagues. The Inquiry
will be conducted by a subcommittee of
the committee on privileges end elections,
composed of four republicans and four
democrats, four of whom voted for the
conviction snd four for the scquittal of
the senator last session. The method se
lected Is regarded as the latest thing In
Jury trials.
It took seven hours' debate to agree on
the system and It was finally adopted by
a vote of 4S to 20, being substituted for the
plan urged by Senator La Follette of turn
ing the case over to five senators who
were not members when the case waa voted
upon before and therefore were supposed
to be unbiased.
Before th vote was taken. Senator Brls
tow, who favored the La Follette plan, ac
cused Senator Dillingham, chairman of the
elections committee of having capitulated
In the Interest of a democratic scheme of
turning the Investigation over to a sub
committee. This charge was based upon the
fact that the author of the resolution that
was adopted wss Senator Martin. Mr. Brla
tow, ulo claimed that the old guard re
publicans had formed an Alliance with the
democrats and that they had placed the
"mantle of Aldrlch" upon the shoulders of
the nation.
Former Committee Scored.
That the committee on privileges and
elections had shirked Its duty In the former
Investigations was charged unreservedly
by the supporters of the La Follette reso
lution. Senator Lea of Tennessee said mat
he would no more turn the case over to
the elections committee for another trial
than he would submit to a second operation
for appendicitia by a surgeon who had
felled on the first operation to locate 'he
appendix. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, recently
assistant to the attorney general, intimated
tnat the great trusts had busied themselves
with the election of senators so as to In
fluence the selection of United States dis
trict attorneys whose friendship might be
useful In the caae of prosecutions.
The defence of the Martin resolution was
conducted by Senators Dillingham, Martin,
Bacon, Sione and other senators from both
the republican and democratic side of the
chamber.
Most of the Insurgent rspubllcan senators
voted sgalnst substituting the Martin reso
lution. Of the twentjr negative votes, thir
teen were cast by republicans Borah, Brls
tow. Bourne, Brown, Clapp, Crawford.
Cummins, Dixon, Gronna, Kenyon, La Fol
lette, Perkins and Polndexter, and seven
by democrats Davis. Hltcheack, Lea, Mar
tine, Newlands, Owen end Pomerene.
The resolution adopted merely provides
that the investigation shall be conducted
by the elections committee.
It was In connection with the under
standing on the part of many senators
that a bipartisan and by-Lo rimer 'commit
tee was to be named that most of the
criticism was brought out.
Brlstow Starts Discussion.
The discussion of the alleged agreement
as to the delegation of the Inquiry to a
subcommittee was precipitated by Mr.
Brlstow. He said he had been advised
that the Investigation was not to be made
by the committee as a whole, but by a
subcommittee and that the leaders of the
republican and democratic parties had
reached an understanding concerning the
committee's personnel. In discussing what
he termed the "capitulation" of Senator
Dillingham, he said he accepted this act
as a temporary transference of leadership
to the democratic side. It was with a feel
ing of regret, he said, that he saw the
rrantle of Aldrlch fall upon the shoulders
of a democrat, but, he added, that he
found consolation In the fact that a trans
fer had become necessary.
"Mr. Galllnger had not been able to don
the mantle," said Mr. Brlstow, "and It
had not been found to fit Mr. Penrose.
Fof some strange reason It had not been
tendered to Mr. Lodge, and not .until the
wolves had scuttled the ship had there
been any success In finding a leader. But
now that a coalition has been formed the
man has been found and the senate knows
whence its signals are to come."
Continuing in this satirical vein, Mr.
Brlrtow said he wondered whether the new
leadership would continue so as to control
the Lo rimer leglslstlon, tariff and other
matters. lie wondered whether this
lesdership would go further and protect
the Hlnes lumber Interests and take care
of the duty on Iron ore.
"Will It prevent reciprocity?" Mr. Nelscn
aeked.
"Will It Insure reciprocity T' Mr. Brlstow
corrected.
Criticises Elections Committee.
Mr. Brlstow critclaed the elections com
mittee for not calling at the last session
Hlnes and other men Interested In the lum
ber business. Then followed like crit
icisms from a number of senators. Includ
ing Messrs. Kenyon, Lea, Owen of Okla
homa and La Follette.
The real question at issue, according to
Mr. La Follette. Is whether the lumber
and beef trusts can buy a seat In the sen
ate.
"If the senate does Its duty," he said. "It
will establish these facts, for the proof
exists and the truth should be known. Sen
atorial seats should not be on the bargain
counter for the great lntereats to buy."
Speaking of the testimony given In the
last Investigation. Mr. La Follette said he
would have insisted on H. H. Kohlsaat of
Chicago being summoned to Washington
had he not been informed Mr. Kohlsaat
would evade service by leaving the country.
Mr. La Follette also criticised the alleged
arrangement between conservative repub
licans and democrats for the selection of a
subcommittee. The sccuracy of the state
ment that such an agreement had been
made was questioned by Mr. Bacon and
finally Mr. Davis said that had been the
understanding In the democratic caucus,
but that It had been reached In the absence
of Mr. Bacon.
Formal Agreement Denied.
Denial that there waa a formal agree
ment between democrats and republicans
was msde by Mr. Dillingham, but Mr. Mar
tin aaid that there had be n an understand
ing that the full committee would be too
cumbersome and that the plan for the com
mittee of eight had been approved In the
caucus. He said that It would be necessary
for the senate to confirm the nominations
of the members of the subcommittee.
"Then why not elect members at once by
adopting the La Follette resolution?" Mr.
Cummins asked.
Mr. Martin replied that he thought It
desirable to place the responsibility upon
the standing committee on elections. The
strictures which senators had directed at
the standing committee were said by Mr.
Stone of Missouri to be undeserved re
proaches. After the adoption of the resolution the
senate adjourned until 1 o'clock Monday.
Senator Brown of Nebraska wants Seo-
Lorlmer turned out of the senate
without any further Investlnatlnn. Today
he introduced a resolution statins that evi
dence already taken proved conclusively
that Mr. Lorlmer was not entitled to his
seat and there was no excuse for Incurring
the expense of another Inoulry.
At his request. Senator Brown's resolu
tion was la.d on the table with the an
nouncement that he would call It sp at
the proper time and ak Its adoption as a
substitute for all other resolutions cf In
quiry which have been offered.
No Choice for 1912
Named by Democrats
at St. Paul Banquet
Bryan Merely Refers to Burke and
Folk as "Candidates for the
Presidency."
ST. PAUL. Minn., June l-W. J. Bryan,
st the banquet of northwestern democrats,
did not Indicate his preference for a presi
dential candidate In 1312, nor was any ac
tion taken by the delegates showing their
preference.
Mr. Bryan spoke highly of Governor
T.urke of North Dakota and former Gov
ernor Folk of Missouri, both of whom were
present. He referred to them as "candi
dates for the presidency" and said should
either be nominated hs would travel about
the country and work In their behalf.
Colonel Bryan denounced the decision
of the supreme court of the United States
on the tobacco and Standard Oil cases.
About 100 democrats, representing the
progressive element of the party In the
northwest were present
The Iowa delegation held a conference
on the congressional fight In the Ninth
Iowa congressional district. The North Da
kota delegation came with a well defined
boom for Governor Burke as the presiden
tial possibility In 1912.
Martin J. Wade of Iowa was willing to
have It announced that the Iowa delegation
was for Burke for the second place on the
ticket Inasmuch as it was probable that
an eastern man would be named to head
the ticket.
Governor Burke was the first speaker
and his subject was "The Democracy of
the Northwest."
The other speakers were W. J. Bryan,
Joseph W. Folk, Congressman W. S. Ham

Jun Means Straw Hats
June 1st Is the officially correct date
beginning the straw bat season. It's
no crime, though, to bave worn one a
week -In advance (weather permit
ting,) There's an indefinable jaunty
neatness, a clean, cool look to a straw
bat, and this year'a crop is beyond
criticism, Prices of our new and exclu
sive line range from
S3. 00 to S5.00
Panamas, however, cost a little !
more. The very popular straw this
summer is the Sennit braid. It's dur-i
able and practical; but its best point is
that it doesn't soil as easily as the
finer braided straws. First comers
fare best.

Just piles of straws!
You've surely decided on
the kind of "straw" you
want this summer.
Perhaps it's a sailor!
Or a soft roll straw that
is "just the latest?"
Or one of the rounder
shapes!
Or a Fedora style, maybe!
"Well, no matter, we have
the one you want in just tho
right brim and crown. At
the price you want to pay.
Sennits "Splits" - Mi
lans are the principal straws
$2.00 to $5.00
Or, if you're a little more
high toned!
Panamas!! $5.00 to $8.00.
