WASHINGTON, May 26. Darwin P.
Klngsley, president New York Life In
surance company, appealed today to the
senate sub-fcommlttee handling the ln
tome tax section of the tariff bill to ex
empt all Insurance written for protec
tion and mutual benefit and not for
profits. He had a spirited exchange with
Senator Williams over campaign con
tribution disclosed In the Hughes' In
Vert! gat ion several years ago.
"When your company paid 250,000 to a
campaign fund." asked Senator Williams,
"none of that money ever was partlcl
pated In by thepolley holders, was UT"
"No, It was not." said Mr. Kjngsiey.
Then that proved that your company's
Assertion that policy holders participated
(n all the earnings of the company was
false, didn't ltT"
"It proved,"' Mr. Klngsley returned,
that the Judgment of this company's
officers who paid this campaign contrl
butlon thinking It wa snecessary to pro
tect the assets of the company was bad."
"It proved more than that," asserted
Senator Williams. "It was absolutely
dishonesty. You were a policy holder
and a democrat and you took part of my
money and gave It away to protect me
-against my own party. But has all that
tort of thing been done away with In
the Insurance business?"
"Absolutely," replied President Kings-
ley. He explained laws which prohibit
President Klngsley submitted a detailed
Statement of his company's business and
.resources to show that It conducted busi
ness a usually on a mutual bats. The to
tal assets of the company las't year were
1719,000,000 and he declared not a dollar
was kept back from the fund In which
policy holders participated..

President Wilson taldthX correspond-,
nts today that he believed the most ex
traordinary lobby ever gathered by' spe
cial Interests to overcome legislation Was
now mustered at the capttol against the
tariff bill.
The president said he had no doubt that
p, few so-called lobbyists were there on
. legitimate errands, but that the greater
majority were occupied, in a systematic
misrepresentation of facts. While the
president believes the "lobby" opposition
Is concentrated against free sugar and
free wool, he Is not apprehensive that It
will be successful.
The prssldent made It clear that he be
lieved scientific business methods and ef
flclency would overcome tariff cuts and
that with the application of scientific
methods Louisiana would not only be ablo
to continue In the sugar Industry, but to
Bo so profitably.
Statement by President.
The president later Issued the following
statement: f
"I think that the public ought to know
the extraordinary exertions being made
by the lobby in Washington to gain
recognition for certain alterations of the
tariff bill. Washington has seldom seen
bo numerous, so Industrious or so In
sidious a lobby. The newspapers are be
ing filled with paid advertisements cal
culated to mislead the judgment of house
pien, not only, but also the public opinion
tot the country Itself. There Is every
evidence that money without limit Is be

Labor Contempt Case
WASHINTON, May 26.-The dlstrlot
supreme court here which originally sen
tenced Samuel Compere, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, thelabor leaders,
to Jail for contempt of;oourt filed a pe
tition with the supreme oourt of the
United States today asking the highest
tribunal to review the decision of the
district court of appeals which affirmed
the conviction of the three men, but re
duced their sentences. At the same time
the high court has under consideration a
writ ofrror presented by attorneys for
the convicted men.
Qompers originally was sentenced to
twelve months, Mitchell to nine and
Morrison to slxl The district court
of appeals affirmed the conviction and
reduced Qompers sentenced to thirty
days and Mitchell's and Morrison's to
a fine of $500 each.
Attorneys for the labor leaders ask a
review and reversal of the lower court
on many grounds. The district supreme
court against which It Is alleged the
men committed contempt in the noted
Buck Stove and Range Case, asks re
view on the ground that the court of
appeals had no authority to reduce the
sentences after affirming the convictions.
Those best Informed on the history of
Jurisprudence In the supreme court of
the United States knew of no other
instance In wh'lch one Inferior 'Court had
applied directly to "he highest tribunal
to reverse another Inferior court.

ROOSEVELT ARRIVES EARLY
He la Accompanied by Two Secret
Service Men, Membersof Ills
Former Cabinet and
Several Others.
MARQUETTE, Mich., May 26.-The libel
stilt brought by Colonel Theodore Roose
velt against George A. Newett, a news
paper publisher of Ishpemlng, began be
fore Judge Richard C. Flannlgan hero
this afternoon.
At 2 o'clock the court called the case of
"Roosevelt against Newett," In whloh
(Colonel Roosevelt Is asking 810,000 dam
ages for the publication by Newett last
October of an editorial charging Colonel
Roosevelt with drunkenness. The reg
ular venire of thlrty-stx men came Into
oourt Immediately and tho work of select
ing a Jury began.
Before the case was called the court
room was half filled with spectators, In
cluding many women, mostly seated In
the balconies. The corridors outside were
thronged with others anxious to be the
first to enter when the doors were
opened to the general public Judge
Flannlgan announced that none would be
admitted after the regular seats had
been filled.
Colonel Roosevelt, who arrived here
early In the day accompanied by former
members of his cabinet and a number of
witnesses, arrived at the court house
shortly before tho case was called. He
drove up In an automobile and walking
between two secret, service men went
Into the court room. His arrival was not
attended by any demonstration.
The room remained perfectly quiet as
Colonel Roosevelt entered. He took a
chair beside William H. Van Benschoten
of New York, one of his lawyers. Ho
listened attentively while the names of
the veniremen were being called by
Clerk Jenks. The defendant sat at a
table with his lawyers, to the right and
somewhat In front of the plaintiff.
Neither appeared to see the other.
Attorney Pound thought that the opr
posing lawyers had some advantage In
having a table nearer the jury boxjrand,
receiving permission from tho court,
moved io a more favorable position,
facing the box.
Call of Venire Begins.
The' clerk put the names of the venire
men, each written on a slip of paper, Into
a tin box, and after shaking the box
began to pick out the names, one by one,
until twelve men were seated in the box
for examination as prospective Jurors.
Attorney Pound then explained to the
men the purpose of the suit. "This suit,"
said Mr. Pound, "is brought by Theodore
Roosevelt of Now York against the de.
fondant, Newett, charging libel. I think
that Is all I need to say at present, and
I will proceed to question you."
Joseph Robear, 25 years old, a teamster,
said he lived In Isphemlng. Asked whether
the fact that the alleged libel took place
In Isphemlng would Influence htm In
forming an opinion, Robear replied It
would not.
"Do you look upon publication of such
a statement about Colonel Roosevelt as a
Joke?"
"No, I would not consider It a joke.5'
Examined by William P. Belden, counsel
for Newett, Robear was asked: "Would
the fact thut the plaintiff has been a
president of the' United States affect you
any different from what you would feel
If he were a plain citizen like Mr. New
ottr" "No, that fact would not affect me."
"You would' not be influenced by the
fact that he bod been president?"
"No. sir."
Hugo Erlckson of Isphemlng, the next
to be examined, said he did not know
the defendant; had neither business nor
i i . i-.i i i. uiM
duviki mauuiii mwi Jim.
"Would It make any difference to you
that one party to .the suit was a resident
of the state of New York and the other
a neighbor?" asked Attorney Pound.
"No," responded the witness.
Attorney Belden asked if he had a pre
conceived opinion of the case.
"No," came the reply.
"Have you any prejudice as to the right
of a newspaper to comment on the actions
of a public character?"
"No."
"If we should prove that what the de
fendant wrote against the plaintiff was
true, would you have prejudice against
the defendant?"
Belden had great difficulty In making
the venireman understand, The latter
stood nervous and silent In the Jury box
while Belden maneuvered to convey his
meaning.. Being unable to get an answer,
at Judge Ftannlgan's suggestion, Erick-
son was passed.
Excused by Plaintiff.
Charles Rutledge of Ishpemlng, son of
a minister, who formerly lived In Ohio,
said he was an automobile repair man.
"Are you a subscriber, of Mr. Newett's
paper. Iron Ore?" asked Mr. Pound.
"Yes, my father is. I know Mr. Newett
and repair his automobile."
"Your friendship with the defendant
would not bias you in the trial of this
case?"
"No. I think I could try It fairly.",
"What do you think about the law of
libel? Is It a Joke or a serious matter?"
"I think It Is serious."
"If a man publishes something untruth
ful about another, you think he should be
punished I"
"Yes, I do."
Rutledge was excused by the plaintiffs
counsel for cause.

CROP ANXIETYJS DISPELLED
Official Reports Show that Best of
Conditions Prevail.
ALFALFA IS NOW BEING CUT
First Crop of the Forege Is Being
Harvested In Western Part of the
State Where Weather
la Clear.
Tho'BurltriBton's Nebraska crop report
for the weok ending last Saturday has
been waited for with considerable anxiety
by grain men and others Interested In
crop conditions. It has boen known that
the rains all over the state last week
were not only the heaviest of the season,
tut In years, and consequently It was
feared that tho report would show pos
sibly heavy damage In many localities.
The anxiety Is now dispelled, fur tho
crop report Indicates a most flattering
condition so fur as small grain Is con
cerned. On the ton-year baa's the con
dition of winter wheat Is placed at better
thnu 103 per rent and on the several
divisions of the road la estimated as
follows:
Omaha division, 102 per cent.
Lincoln division, 104 per cent
Wymoro division, 108 per cent.
McCook dlvlelon. 100 per cent.
ICstlinnte Too I.ovr.
Goncral Superintendent Allen of the
Nebraska divisions still maintains that
the estimates as mado by the agents and
ether experts and then compiled by di
visions Is too low. Ho maintains that'
after making extensive trips through tho
vheat growing counties of the state he Is
Justified In putting tho condition of tho
cereal at 120 per cent, as compared with
the ten-year average.
Oats are reported to bo In fine condi
tion, without any signs of the uppcaranca
of rust or damaging Insects. Jliis Is also
true of all other kinds of spring small
Brain.
Taking up corn the report goes on to
bay that while the week wad very un
favorable for planting farmers planted
between showers, and consequently got
considerable seed Into the ground, Ther
ore no reports of corn having rotted. On
the ojher hand It Is stated that early
planted corn Is growing fairly well, re
gardless of the cold and wet weather.
On the McCook division It Is estimated
that up to last Saturday night 80 per
cent of the corn had been planted, (0 per
cent on the Omaha and Lincoln and 30
per cent on the Wymore division.
In the west part of the state where
the weather was clear a portion of the
time last week, the first cutting of al
falfa was commenced. In ail other sec
tions It Is ready as soon as clear weather
comes.
