MMEBER BOUSED BY STATEMENT Senate Finance Committee Has Lively Session When Reciprocity Ques tion Comes lp for Con sideration. WASHINGTON, June S.-The senate finance committee today resumed hearings on the Canadian reciprocity bill, Herman RIdder. until recently president of the American Newspaper Publishers' associa tion, being called to the witness chair. Mr. Kidder had not proceeded far when Senator McCumber of North Dakota startled the committee by challenging one of Mr. RId der s stttements as an "absolute false hood." Kenator McCumber's action brought a quick protest from Senators Stone and Bailey, who aeclr-red that witnesses should not be Insulted. Mr. RIdder had made the statement that newspapers of the country and the Pub lishers association had not attempted to suppress facts or to color stories sent from Washington on the subject of rec iprocity. Senator McCumber Interrupted with his charge of falsehood. Several senators Insisted that Mr. Mc Cumber's remarks should be stricken from the record. Bailey Insists. "If any witness appearing before this committee," said Senator Bailey, "were to Imply that some senator nad told a false hood I would insist that it be stricken from the record-." Senator McCumber agreed to have his remark changed ao as to make it read that h believed what Mr. RIdder said was "un founded." I Mr. RIdder In reply to questions from members of tha committee declared that he as president of the Publishers" association had sent out word to the members of the association telling them the reciprocity agreement was of vital Importance. "But I would not have favored the agreement," added Mr. RIdder, "if I had not thought it would be of good to the whole country independent of my Interest In It as a newspaper publisher." Trust Is Hobbln Newspapers. Mr. RIdder declared that while he was In favor of reciprocity as a whole his reason. as a. newspaper- maiv ro?"lirgliiT Its pas sage was so that he might get out of the clutches of the "Paper trust" which, he said, was robbing the newspaper publishers of the country. "Have you ever made an effort," asked Senator Bailey, "to have the 'Paper trust' punished by the Department of Justice?" "Yes," replied Mr. RIdder, "I had fifty two paper makers In New York indicted and they paid $2,000 apiece. These were manufacturers of various kinds of paper, although It has not been possible as yet to prove legally that a white paper trust ex ists. "Mr. Wallack, vice president of the In ternational Paper company, swore before the Mann paper committee that there was no combination of any sort, although re ports were being made to him every Mon day as to what the various paper mills of the country were doing." "Would you be satisfied," asked Senator Heyburn, "if the 'Paper trust' were pun ished In some other way than by the pas sage of the reciprocity agreement?" "I want help during my life time," said Mr. RIdder. "I have not yet seen any trust magnates go to Jail. I favor the measure so that I may buy paper In the open mar ket. I do not Intend, If I can help it, to let the 'Paper trust' dictate to me what I must pay for paper." Mr. RIdder said he was opposed to all trusts. Mr. Bidder was still on the stand when an early recess was taken to allow sen ators to vote on the election of a president pro tempore. The hearing was continued durtng the afternoon. t 0 9W t! ii Joui nal'TrlliunMl." Thlrtv V v. r. a M - AsauoiaUoa. He's my I tr i A Mr r I From the Chicago Evening Post.

TALKS WITH SENATOR STONE Man from Missouri Questions Atti tude of President Toward the Hoot Amendment and la Promptly Shown. . WASHINGTON, June S To Senator Stone of Missouri, President Taft made It clear today that he is opposed to any amendment whatsoever to the . Canadian reciprocity afteement. Senator' Stone had heard a report that administration oppo sition to the Root amendment was not en tirely sincere and that Senator Root had been assured privately that the president would not be displeased if his amendment were adopted. "I came to the White House." said the senator, "to find out for myself whether the president was in earnest In opposing the Root amendment. And I found out. He told me that he was against the amend ment proposed by Senator Root and would be against any proposed by any other senator, democrat or republican. That set tles It for me. I am going back to the sen ate to carry the fight along those lines. Every true friend of reciprocity will do the same thing. If we begin by tacking on 'harmless amendments.' we will end by tacking on others which will destroy the bill." W illing; to 91rn Statehood Bills.

DAYIDSON MAY LEAVE HERE Tempting Offer at Washington May Be Accepted by Superintendent. FRIENDS TRY TO KEEP HIM HERE . Training School Starches to Office In a Body Members of the Board and Business Men Call I'pon Him to Remain. WASHINGTON. D. C, June 5 (Special Telegram.) William M. Davidson, superln. tendent of the public schools of Omaha, was elected to the position of superintend ent of' public schools of this city by tha Board of Education at a meeting held this afternoon. Dr. Davidson was elected for a term of three years. , That Dr. William M. oavldson, superin tendent of schools, will accept the call to the superintendence of the Washington, D. C, schools Is the belief of his friends, many of whom are, urging him to go while others are pleading with him to stay In Omaha. Dr. Davidson refused to discuss the ques tion In detail Monday morning, saying that he had not been tendered the position. "In the event that I am elected, however, I shall be able to give a reply very soon," said he. "It would be very untimely for me to say what I wilt do under the present circumstances. I know that I have been considered for the position. In fact, I have been In communication with members of the school board of V'asntngton. "I realize that the superlntendency of the Washington schools Is an opportunity that seldom comes to a man. Washington Is one of the public schools centers ot the United States and the field there is of such magnitude and Importance than any one would consider It a long time before turn ing It down." Members of the Board of Education are much exercised over the probable loss of Dr. Davidson. Many of them freely stated that the salary raise would be met If Dr. Davidson would decide to stay here. It Is said, however, that the superintendent has his mind made up and salary raises or other considerations will not affect his decision. Prominent citizens of the city, members of the board and teachers in the publlo schools called on Dr. Davidson Monday morning, urging him not to consider the Washington proposition. The members of the training school marched to his office In a body and pleaded with him to stay In Omaha. , Seventeen hundred teachers are em ployed In the Washington district and the school attendance runs In the neighbor hood of 6S.O0O. Should Dr. Davidson ac cept the call, he will be given a raise of l.onO per year. Omaha pays an snnual salary of I6.0CO. while the Washington call stipulates 16,000.

Trips, Theater Parties and Other Forms of Amnneturnt Planned to Occupy All the pare Time. Editors of Nebraska, wltf. their wives and husbands, began at the Masonic Tem ple Monday morning their thlrty-nlntli an nual convention. Some of them came yo miles and all of them brought the results In experience ot another year's work in chronicling the happenings of every city, hlg and little, in the state. On the floor ot the assembly hall the women were numer ically stronger, because every married edi tor brought his family, and besides that, there are not a few women who run news papers of their own and. Judging from their standing in the convention, they are sllcce8ful occupants of the sanctum. Omaha newspaper Interests welcomed the visitors through Roger Craven of the World-Herald. "It Is not distance that lends enchantment to the country editor," said Mr. Craven, "feeing you here con vinces us that you look the I ait you are credited with playing In leading the thought of the state. We hope tliut we are wel coming you to the greatest of all your gatherings; that It will show Its results not only In your ledger accounts, but alsj in exalting the Ideals ot the profession. Other professions are raising their ideals Lawyers are discussing the ethics ot their work, every doctor's meeting has a paper on ethics and one church is talking about a revision ot the ten commandments. Our schedules ot all the news that is fit to print need revision upwards. We should grow to the staiuie that would allow us to make no sacrifices of honor or ot truth." President Makes Address. A. B. Wocd of the Gering Courier, presi dent of the association, delivered his an nual addiess and urged rm-re z at and en-thUBlavm-ln the work of the association. The welcome of Omaha to the vi&lling Journalists was extended on bfbalt of tas city by Mayor Dahlman and for the Com mercial club by G. B. llaverstlck, chair man of the executive committee. The occasion was spoken of by the mayor ss his first chance to get back at the country editors for the various kinds ot publicity which they gave him durtng the last campaign, but he showed no disposi tion to be resentful and made his welcome hearty and complete. Mr. Haverstick told something of the glories of the metropolis which might be unfamiliar to the men who are busy in boosting numerous other metropoll. The question of publishing a history ot the Press association was the only business matter brought up during the morning and a committee will be appointed to look after that. The State Historical society was supposed to be at work upon It, but, as announced by Secretary C. 8. Paine, the matter as to editorial responsibility had never been settled and nothing could be done. The most important matter to be de cided during the convention Is probably the adoption or rejection of a "cost" sys tem in pointing. II. L. Tostevln and C. E. Corey were put upon the program for this afternoon as representatives of the Bin Franklin club to give a report ot the operation and success of such systems. Other discussions for the afternoon were on special price lists by H. O. Taylor of the Central City Nonaprell; on "Profit In the Print Shop" by Ray Hammond of the Fremont Tribune, and "Does County Or ganization Pay?" by George E. Mark of the Mitchell Index. Hal 8. Kuy. passenger agent of the Rock Island, was invited to deliver an address, and Penn R. Fodrea of the Omaha Trade Exhibit and Horace M. Davis of the Ord Journal were put on to lead a question box discussion. The entertainment of the visitors has been In the hands of the Commercial club committee, of which Colonel T. W. Ms Cullough Is chairman, and as the president remarked, so much was planned that there will be no chance tor fun on the side. Will A. Campbell, manager of the publicity bureau, is directly n charge of this ex hibition of Omaha's hospitality. Prominent Omaha men, newspaper workers, besides professional leaders were on hand to wel come the visitors. At noon Monday the men were enter tained at luncheon at the Henshaw as guests of the Omaha Dally News and the visiting women were similarly feted at the Loyal by the American Press association.
