at an executive re nlor.
The committer cooldered It Inadvisable
that llr. Hlnr should be permitted to
ll't.-n to the testimony. Since Clarence S.
Funk of Chlcaro to'k the otand Mr. Mines

tntlee room and hear the witnesses whose

leged remarks about the Lorimer election

cf L'AtiM, Mich., was the flrat wttnesa to
day before the senate Lorimer committee.
When the Lorimer investigation waa on be
fore the Helm committee of the Minnie

Mich., waa reported to have atated that
Culver waa present on an occasion in IMS
when Edward Hinea. millionaire lumber
man, declared he had "Just succeeded In
making a United Metes senator that cost
11W0W." Jones testified yest-rdsy that the
conversation waa In 1907. and waa simply
that Lortmer'e election, presumably to the
house, probably "cost a barrel of money."
As soon a Mr. Culver waa sworn the
committee went Into executive session,
after which he began bis testimony by
saying he had been mayor of Marquette.
Mich. He then told of business relations
with Edward Hlnee.

Hugh McLean, a lumberman of North

"Didn't you tell Mr. Coan," asked Attor
ney HeeJy. "that ha waa not going to get
anything from you or your friend. Mr.
Hlnra, and what you knew about raising
money for Mr. Lorimer waa only hearsay,
anyway T" j
"No air, absoluttly," exclaimed the wit
ness. Mr. McLean testified that all Mr. Hinea
aaid to him about Senator Lorimer waa
on hla trip to Washington Just before the
senatorial election. "He introduced ma to
( Mr. Lorimer, then a congresaman. and aaid
that be might be the next senator front

Favors Its Repeal.
WASHINGTON, ju .-W. O. Ollmore
of the firm of Arbiirkle Bros, of Brooklyn
told the house "euirar truM" Investigating
committee today that trade sugar wars In
this country had practically ceafed and
that conditions In the trade were very
fair, thouxh not Ideal.
"Where does the condition fall short?"
Representative Madison asked.
"The cane lucar refiners are not making
enough money." 1e attributed this to
over-productloti. too much ref.nlng capa
city, the beet sugar Industry as now pro
tected, etc.
"If we took the duty off sugar, what
would happen?"
"Cheaper sugar. We would operate with
half the caiital and the beet euirar people
would be kept at home. We do not like It
when the beet sugar people, with a hot
house protection. Invade our territory.
"TK.n i-rtii want rr trad In lUfirT
'Tereonally, I am of that mind."
"Have you any reason to believe that
any unfair attacks have been made on yoa
by the present regime In the American
Sugar Refining company?"
"No. Of course, they are not long in
their new chairs and we are keeping a
watchful eye on them."
"They are now In sack cloth and ashes,
aa It were?"
"That's a good simile. I think that the
new men In the company are good men;
that they should not be charged with the
slna of the past."
"We cut the price SS points under the
trust price soon after we started In West
Virginia and Ohio," aaid Mr. Gltmore, "be
cause the truat sought to Induce the whole
sale srrocers In those states to buy sugar
exclusively from the American. Thla waa
In 1901.
"We kept the price down four or five
months and got the business In those
states. Eventually the price returned to
normal, but the American never did get
back all Its business in those statea."
Jury is Charged in
Henwood Murder Case
Judge Instructs Panel Verdict Most
Be Murder in First or Second
Degree or Acquittal.
DENVER, June a "There la no man
slaughter In thla case," Impressively said
District Judge Greely M. Whiteford In
reading the Instruction to the Jury In the
case of Frank H. Henwood today.
The court charged tba jury that there
were but three possible verdicts In the
ease: First degree murder, second degree
murder and acquittal.
The tiii-v waa also directed that should
I its verdict be first At-r murder a penalty
should be fleed, either' .life .Imprisonment
or death. "
Should the verdict be second derree mur
der the courts Itself Imposes penalty, which
la fron ten years to life Imprisonment.
The elimination of manslaughter from
the case caused Attorney John T. Bottom
for the defense to take exceptions.
The Jury waa charged that the accidental
killing of George E. Copeland. for which
Henwood la being tried, by a bullet in
tended for Silvester L. Von Phut, Justifies
a verdict of first degree murder, provid
ing that Henwood Intended maliciously and
premedltatedly to take Von Pbul'a Ufa
Assistant District Attorney John Horns
Chiles opened the argument for the prose
cution with a denunciation of Henwood as
the "destroyer" of the home of Jobn W.
Springer, a wealthy Denver banker.
He had had Illicit relations with Mrs.
Springer," said Mr. Chiles, "and he waa
afraid that Von Phul stood high in the
affections of that fair creature." There
fore, he declared. Henwood wanted Von
Phul out of the way as ha waa Jealous sf
the latter..

WASHINGTON. June gL-The fight
agatnrt Canadian reciprocity In the senate
formally waa opened today by Senator Cura-
mina of Iowa, who la presenting a number
of amendments to the bill and denounced
He protested against the "usurpation of
legislative power" by th president and de
clared he did not believe the president could
lawfully make a proposal to Canada or
receive one from that country. He declared
congress waa the only power that could
make the proposal for reciprocity. Senator
Cummins announced he would co-operate
In any attempt to get lower duties In other
tariff bills.
No attempt waa made by the republican
leadera at the opening of the setston to
fix a date for a vote on the bill.
Senator Cummins aaid It was apparent
republicans and democrata favoring the
bill had determined to submit to the re
peated statement that the president eould
accept no amendments to tha 1 Canadian
agreement.
"I make no comment on thia situation.
said he, "save that It aeems to mean ab
dication of the duties of tha aenate and an
abandonment cf Ita responsibilities."
Senator Cummins attacked tha combi
nation of regular republicans and democrats
to pass the reciprocity Mil.
"It seems to be conceded." he said, "that
a minority of the republican senators, moat
of whom have advocated hlrh aid Inde-
fenalble duties in the Urlff law on manu
factured producta. and a majority of the
democrata, who have professed adherence
to the people of a tariff for revenue only,
propose to pass this reciprocity bill with
out change."
CaasSBlas' Oplaloa of Bill,
The bill, he said, would accomplish only
two Important things:' "Admit free of duty
(the agricultural products of Canada, and
admit a small quantity of wood pulp and
print paper." ' -
After the passage of ths bill through,
this combination. - Senator Cummlna said
the deraecrata expected' 'to- n.ake a combi
nation with republicans " WhSTJCf or tariff'
revisioa to pass other
bllla.
"It ia perfectly plain to me." he added,
"that the republicans whom I bars men
tioned, will bo valiant enough In defense
of' the high duties for ths rich and power
ful manufacturera.
Senator Cummlna' amendments proposed
to admit free from Canada both raw and
manufactured products. Including fresh
meats, canned meats, barley, malted flour.
Iron., steel, woolen goods, cotton goods, sljk
and leather goods. Theae amendments ap
ply only on the American side of ths line.
Senator Cummins aaid hs would not be
lieve until a roll call proved It, that the
senate waa to accept tha ultimatum that
It could not change In any way tha agree
ment aa aubmitted. Ha referred to a "cer
taln number of senators who seem to sit
in ailent. If not sullen, submission to a
higher power."
Canada haa yielded all It can," he aaid.
"without endangering Its Industrial pros
perity. But It la Inconceivable that those
who are willing to aubjeet tha farmer to
absolute free trade In tb things hs pro
duces should shrink from a reduction of
the duties on things he buys."
Waats ta Isaprove Bill.
Senator Cummlna aaid hla amendments
were not proposed for the purpose of de
feating the MIL
I appeal to thoae on the ether aide of
the chamber who favor lower tariff duties
to help me with these amendments." ha
aaid. "I have no hope from my asaoclatea
on this aide of tbe chamber. They will help
you Democrats to remove the dutlea from
the producta of the farmers, but they will
not help you to lower by a farthlna the
dutiea on great manufactured products
of the country.
Tbe reciprocity bill wss characterised by
Eenator Cummins ss " obviously aad evi
dently unjust." snd If his amendments wer
adopted, he said. Hs Injustices would he
so far corrected that he would vote for It.
Benator Bacon asked Mr. Cummins tf hs
thought legislation In the sen at ought to
bo Influenced by the threat of a veto frora
the president
"It la abhorrent to mo." replied Mr. Cum
mins, "to hear the auggeatloa that any
senator will be Influenced by ths probable
action of the chief executive,
"We have been assaulted her day after
day with th reiteration, apparently
authoritative, that If thla bin la amended
In any way It will be vetoed by the presi
dent I am not saying that the president
la responsible for these statementa. I only
know that they are so uniform and so em
phatic that they have found lodgements
In the minds of many senators who be
lieve they csn make no change In this
bill, however meritorious these amendments
may be.
