Funk, general superintend ent of the International Harvester Company, testified this afternoon be fore the senate's Lorimer investigat ing committee that Edward HInes, the Chicago lumber magnate, had asked his company for $10,000 to form a part of a $100,000 slush fund which had been raised to elect Lori. mer. Funk is the man to whom H. P. Kohlsaat, publisher of the Chicago Record-Herald, referred when, he said he had information from a reliable source that efforts iad been made to raise money from1 corporators far Lor Imer's election. Kohlsaat took the stand before the investigating com mittee at noon, and said he had been released from his pledge not to give the name of his informant. He told the committee that Funk was the man who had told him of the alleged slush fund. According to the story Funk told the committee, Hines met him after Lorimer's election, and said: "Well, we've' elected Lorimer, but it cost us $100,000 to do it. Some of you fellows must dig up. We have to have the money quickly, and we paid it, depending rnon about 10 of you fellows to reimburse us." Funk testified that Hines told him to send the money to Edwin Tllden, president of the National Packing company. He said that he did not know the other persons referred to, and did not know for what purpose the $100,000 had been used. He said that he had expostulated with Hines against the expenditure of the $10, 000 he had been called upon to give, and that Hines had replied: "You people are as much interest ed in havlrT the right kind of a man in the. senate as we are." Kohlsaat and-Funk were the only witnesses ..called before the commit tee today, The membarB then went into executive session. The hearings were adjourned until April 13 It is expected that in. the meantime sub poenas will be issued- for Tllden and Hines. . ... o , ., SECRET PL AX.

The bureau's report said: "The specific designs required, be ing strictly confidential,' the bureau takes especial care to prevent, them becoming public property, but the bureau recommends that thpir re quest be granted,, provided that the precautons be taken to insure that the Plans used will be treated as con. fldential by all concerned In ' their use." The department also stipulated that the plans should not be re vealed until after an American firm obtained the mtract for building the ships, that no ship building com pany should be favored over any ott er, or any nation over any other. Washington, April 5. Intimation is made here today in diplomatic cir cles' that France and England are preparing to ask from the United Suites the same tariff concessions it is (proposed to give Canada. The Impression, however, la gen. eral that the requests will be) denied. It is pointed out that the concessions are to be given Canada only when the Dominion similarly concedes cer--tafn .pilnts, and that foreign na tions, therefore, will not be in a posi tion to claim the same favors under their trade treaties. I senator uummins, or lowa, chief 1 of the progressive Republicans, Is planning to amend the Canadian rec iprocity treaty when it omes up in the senate. He proposes to place ad ditional products than those already named on the free list, without ask ing like concessions from Canada. If his amendment is adopted the United States will be placed in a position where it will be forced to grant slm. liar concessions to other nations. The administration seeks to block Cummins' plan. EPWORTHS COMPLETED FEDERATION The Epworth Leagues of Salem and vicinity met in the First M. E. church parlors at a banquet last evening. A Federation of the Leagues was com pleted and plans laid to extend the usefulness of the local chapters. The banquet was one of the largest young people's gatherings ever held in Salem. Plates were laid for 158. Prof. Kramer, of Willamette Univer sity, was master of ceremonies. The five leagues supplied the topics for discussion and incidentally much merriment. The young ladles of the various leagues, who conducted the serving of the guests of the evening, did their work to the satisfaction of all pres ent. The officers elected for the ensuing year are: President, Paul Todd,' First Church; vice president, Cora Miller, Leslie Chapter; secretary, Lena Schlndler, German Chapter; treasur er, Roy Ohniart, Liberty Chapter. The Chapters represented in the federation are The Liberty, First Church, Jason Lee Memorial, Leslie and German Methodist. Curious how the storm signals of a hot temper or & frosty disposition seldom fail to fulfil their own predictions. THEY WANT A SALOON AT SYDNEY The loggers in the mills of Polk county and near Sydney want a sa loon near that place, so that their thirst can be quenched. The people of Sydney and there are In . all about three of them and in the im mediate vlclnuy are opposed to a thirst empnrlum, and there prom ises to be an interesting fight waged before the board of county commis sioners when the petition comes up for consideration In the next few days. The population -f Sydney Is com. posed of but two or three people, but near are a number of sawmills and logging camps. About two miles from Sydney there Is a gallon house now supplyng the tfhlrsty loggers with the liquid that cheers, but the loggers want to take it in smaller quantities and more frequently, and to a man they have signed the peti tion to have the gairon house con verted Into a saloon. The sawmill men and the people are opii wed to It, as there Is an absence of police protection, and will contest It. Many Itoail Petitions. The board convened this morning and has spent the day In considering routine matters. Tomorrow It will consider road petitions, nnd the next day It will probably consider the pe tition for tha Sydney saloon license A petition for a road south of 811 verton and another asking for one frcm Marlon to Turner promise to develop into contests, O'ROURKE MISSES THE GALLOWS JrKY FIXDS HIM GUILTY OF "AS. SAl'LT WITH DEADLY TVEAPOX OX A PEBSOX" SEXTEXCE POSTPOXED CXTIL XEXT DAY. After deliberating over tha testi mony introduced in the case of the state' of Oregon against Thomas O'Rourke, a convict of the state prison charged with an assault with a dangerous weapon on Jerry Simp son, guard of the institution, the Jury this morning came Into court and re turned a verdict of "assault with a dangerous weapon upon the person." Was Compromise Yerdlrt. The verdict was a compromise as seven of the Jurors were In favor of returning a verdict of an assault with a dangerous weapon upon a officer, the penalty for which is banging, while the other Ave were in favor of returning a Verdict for a minor of fense. During all of the night the jurors wreBtled over the subject and this morning the seven favoring the death penalty surrendered and agreed with the five favoring a verdict for a lesser crime. The penalty for the crime of which O'Rourke was convicted is from six months to 10 years in the state pris on. Disregarded Evidence. That the Jury disregarded the evi dence is evident from the verdict re turned. Judge Kelly instructed the Jury that under the Indictments three verdicts might be returned; first, a verdict for "an assault with a dan gerous weapon" upon .an officer which had attached to It the death penalty; second, a verdict for "an as sault with a dangerous weapon upon a person," and lastly a verdict for a simple "assault." That O'Rourke realized when he made the attack that Simpson was an officer of the institution was proven beyond a doubt and in order to find the defen dant guilty of the lesser crime that is an assault with a dangerous wea pon against a person it was neces sary for the Jury to disregard the testimony adduced on this point. The five Jurors who favored the lesser offense probably chose to disregard this evidence because they believed that the death pnalty was too severe a punishment for the crime, and the other seven who finally surrendered to the flv probably did so because they realized that unless they did SAYS TAFT USED ARMY TO AID DIAZ SOCIALIST CONGRESSMAN BERG EB IXTRODUCES JOIXT RESO LUTIOX DEMANDING AX EX PLAXATIOX OF XIXEUYERS.

Another Investigation Into the election of William Lorimer, as senator from Illinois, has been made necessary by the disclosures at Springfield, accord ng to Senator Borah, of Idaho. that, a disagreement would be the result. Defense Will Appeal. The attorneys for tho defense have announced that an appeal will be prosecuted to-the supreme court of the state.
