Senator Lor imer, of Illinois, faces another inves tigation at the hand of hia colleagues. m inquiry win be conducted by a committee composed of four Kepubli cana and ifour Democrat. The method selected ia regarded as the latest thing in jury triala. it took seven houra' debate to agree upon the system, and it waa finally adopted by a vote of 48 to 20, being substituted for the plan urged by La Kollette of turning the cane over to five senators who were not members when the case waa voted upon before, and therefore were supposed to be un biased. Before the vote waa taken. Bristow. who favored the La Kollette plan, ac cused Dillingham, chairman of the elec tions committee, of having capitulated in the interest of a Democratic pro posal of turning the investigation over to sub-committee. This waa based upon the fact that the author of the resolution adopted waa Martin, the Democratic leader. It wa said that the old guard of Republicans had formed an alliance with the Demo crats, and that they had placed the mantle of Aldrich "on the shoulder of Martin." That the committee on privileges and elections had shirked ita duty in the former investigation wa charged unreservedly by the lupporter of the La Follette resolution. Iea, of Ten nessee, said he would no more turn the case over to the electiona com mittee for another trial than he would submit to a second operation for ap pendicitis by a surgeon who had failed on the first operation to locate the trouble. Washington, June 2. Offering to lay bare all the facta concerning the United States Steel corporation and to "stand or fall on the record;" deny ing that he ia planning to form a trust to control steel products and prices of the entire world, and admitting that the Steel corporation has absolute domination of the subsidiary com panies, Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors, appeared today as the second witness in the inquiry being conducted by a house committee into the steel trust. Mr. Gary surprised the committee with the statement that the Tennessee Coal & Iron company, before ita ab sorption, while nominally independent "of all other companies," was "very dependent so far as getting a liveli hood was concerned," a remark which he quickly asked to have expunged from the records, and which he said he had no "business to make." This remark, however, served to forecast the possibility that Mr. Gary tomorrow might make state ments not in accord with the testi mony given by John W. Galea to the highly prosperous condition of the Tennessee Coal & Iron company at the time of the "forced sale" to the ateel corporation. Mr. Gary told the com mittee that the Tennessee Coal & Iron company still owes the steel corpora tion f 10,167,700 for money advanced. Washington, June I. Public hear ing on the Canadian reciprocity bill were practically completed by the sen ate finance committee today, and next Wednesday was fixed for a vote on the measure by the committee. No amendments other than that offered by Root on the paper clause will have any chance of consideration, it was said by a member of the com mittee. The Koot amendment, it was added, will have to be materially mod ified before it can be accepted. It was decided to request officers of the Associated Publishers' association to appear to answer some questions regarding the mutters under consider ation. Joseph H. Allen, of the firm of Al len & Graham, of New York, emJoy ed to conduct the fight being made againat reciprocity ' by the national grange, acknowledged that M. Wood, president of the American Woolen company; Arthur C. Hustings, presi dent of the American Paper & Pulp association: Chester W. Lyman, as aiatant to the president of the Inter national Paper company, and Leonard Bronson, general manager of tho Na tional Lumber Manufacturers' asso ciation, had volunteered contributions to the fight. W. L. Graham, of thia firm, while he admitted he waa not connected with a law firm at all, notwithstanding the statement of W. M. Hull, mnster of the Michigan grange, that it wa em ployed as the farmers' legul advisers, was asked if any interests other than the national grange contributed. "We have been promised nothing," he replied, "but we do expect that any manufacturer who is Interested in this matter and who appreciates what we are doing, will pay ua for our work; if they do, we will be glad to take it." Democrat' Unite for Duty. Washington, D. C The proposed Democratic revision of the wool tariff, the Underwood bill, waa unanimously approved by a Democratic caucus at midnight, 12 hours after it had been made public by the way and mean committee. Ita endorsement followed some rapid maneuvering by Demo cratic house leaders who devised a scheme which effectually disposed of the free wool advocates. The final vote wa made unanimous. Policy on Wool Attacked. Washington, D. C. William Jen nings Bryan took exception to the program of hia party in the house and criticised sharply the majority of the Democrat, who have agreed to up- port the reviled tar I IT icheduio on wool and woolen good. THE DAILY SPEAKS OF PEACE AND WAR. Tart Pay Tribute to Dead Heroa at Arlington Cemetery. Washington Under the ahaded arches of the Washington National Cemetery Tuesday, President Taft spoke not so much a the friend of peace, but as the enemy of war. Thousands of veterans tramped the hot asphalt of the atreet, crossed the Po tomac and trudged dusty road to Ar lington to hear the president speak. Thousands of other came in auto mobiles and by atreet cars, and Presi dent Taft, with Secretary of War Stimson, came up to the vine covered amphitheater and saw fully 10,000 persona crowded about the speakers' stand. It probably waa the most largely attended Memorial day cere mony Washington haa seen. "Far be it from me," said the president, "to minimize in any way the debt we owe to the men buried here who carried on the successful struggle that resulted in the abolition of the cancer of slavery, which seem ed ineradicable aave by auch an awful slaughter of the brightest and bravest and best of the Nation' youth and manhood. "I shall not discuss whether it might have been possible to accom plish the same reform by milder meth ods. Whether that be true or not, the aupreme sacrifice of these men who lie about ua, in the causa of advancing humanity cannot be lessened or ob scured by such a suggestion. "But the thought at which I would but hint thi morning, is that, even the hallowed presence of these dead, whose ideal of patriotism and love of their countrymen it needed a war to make everlastingly evident, we should abate no effort and strain every nerve and avail ourselves of every honorable device to avoid war in the future. "I am not blind to the aid in creat ing sturdy manhood that the military discipline we see in the standing armiea of Europe and in the regular army of this country, nor do I deny the inci dental benefits that may grow out of the exigencies and sequelae of war. But when the book are balanced, the awful horror of either international or internal strife far outweigh the benefit that may be attained in it." Washington, May 30. The house was in session 10 minutes today. A handful of members who had not been drafted for memorial day addresses were present. After routine business adjournment waa taken until Friday. A resolution waa introduced by Rep resentative Harrison of New York, directing the secretary of state to in form the house whether Russia has ordered any overtures looking to ita modification of the discrimination against the American passport in the hands of the American Jew. "My fear is," laid Mr. Harrison, "that the reported policy at St. Pe tersburg is put forth only to quiet the just indignation of the American peo ple at Russia a treatment of our Jew ish citizens." That congress will not conduct an investigation into the arrest and ex tradition to California, in connection with the Los Angeles dynamiting ease. of J. J. McNamara, the Indianapolis labor leader, waa indicated today when the house committee on rules decided to take no action on the Berger reso lution providing for such an inquiry. Washington. May 31. Bryan's de fiance today of the party leaders in the house, his warning to the Democratic members that the voter are yet to1 pass on the wool schedules they are to i ratify and his appeal to them not to' add hypocrisy to the sin of voting for a revenue on wool, have caused in-' tense feeling in the party. J Notwithstanding, Underwood, as ' chairman of the houae committee on ways and means, tonight was insistent i in the prediction that the revenue bill I will be approved by a big majority. I "In my judgment," Underwood said in answer to Bryan, "his statement' is unjust and unfair to the members of the ways and means committee and to the Democratic representative! in con gress who will support the bill. "The ways and meant committee ha cut in half the whole wool i schedule. They have reduced the du-1 ties on manufactured goods as low as , they were under the Wilson bill that Mr. Bryan voted for when raw wool i was placed on the free list. In that reduction they have fallen short of the $40,000,000 now raised by wool by $13,000,000, and it is necessary in or der to secure this revenue to place a revenue tax on raw wool imported into the United States." Taft Stick to Beverly. Washington, D. C President Taft will atick to Beverley as a hot weather playground, unless congress selects a site and appropriates the money for an official Summer White house else where. In a letter to Governor Eber hart, of Minnesota, declining with thank the offer of a aite for a Presi dential summer home at Wayseata, the president explained that congress alone had the authority to designate an official summer White House. Taft May Visit Coast. Washington, D. C As having a probable bearing on hia nomination in 1912, President Taft' plan for the coming fall are attracting unusual at tention. The president told Senator Smoot, of Utah, that he expected to accept an invitaton to visit Salt Lake City in September. Thi trip may alao take the nreaident aa far aa the Pacific Coast. TOD N the old building of the New York university on Washington square, the birthplace of the telegraph of Morse, there waa taken in 1839 1 tbe Arst photograph of the human face. The photograph waa that of Miss Dorothy Catherine Draper, and the man who took It waa her brother. Dr. John William Draper, professor of chemistry In the university. He bad gone a atep beyond Daguerre and by this photograph he established htm telf as one of the great Inventors of the nineteenth century. Not long ago occurred the hundredth anniversary of Doctor Draper's birth and It was celebrated in the auditori um of the university at Aqueduct ave nue and One Hundred and Eighty-first street. It waa on tbe roof of the old build ing on Washington place that there was set up, In 1840, the first photo graph gallery In tbe world. To thla gal lery there came to be amazed and de lighted all the notable of the day, in cluding Theodore Frelinghuyien, the candidate for vtce-preiident on tbe Henry Clay ticket. Professor Draper took the pictures. Hia camera waa a cigar box and his lense tbe glass from a pair of spec tacles. Doctor Draper' assistant In this gallery, tbe man who posed the sitter and attended to the artistic de tails, waa Prof. S. F. B. Morse, who only five year before and In the same building had operated the first tele graph line. The picture taken In thla gallery were developed by Professor Draper, for It waa hia experiments In regard to the chemical action of light that had enabled him to Improve the proc ess of Daguerre almost aa aoon aa the latter'a discovery was made known. It wa tn 1S39 that Daguerre gave hia process to the world, but it waa not then adaptable to landscapes or por traits. In the same year Professor Draper announced that he had found the way to photograph the human face and to overcome those obstaclea which made the Frenchman's process Imper fect and Impractical. In these kodak days the directions which Doctor Draper gave at thla time for taking a photograph are Interest ing. At first, be said, he had tried dusting the face of a sister with white powder, but he later found that this was unnecessary. On a bright day and with a sensitive plate, he an nounced, portraits could be obtained In the course of five or seven minutes. "The hands of the sitter," he said In these directions to the camera fiends of that day, "should never reat upon the chest, for the motion of res piration disturbs them so much as to make them of a thick and clumsy ap pearance, destroying also the repre sentation of the veins on the back, which. If they are held motionless, are copied with surprising beauty. "A person dressed In a black coat and open waistcoat of the same color must put on a temporary front of a drab or flesh color or by the time that his face and the fine shadow of hi woolen clothing are evolved hi shirt will be solarised and will be blue and black with a white halo around It. "Owing to the circumstance that yellow and yellowish brown require a long time to Impress the substance of the daguerrotype, persons whose face are freckled all over give rlae to the moit ludlcrout result, a white portrait mottled with Just a many black dot a the altter ha yellow one." On March 22, 1840, Doctor Draper took from the roof of the building the first photograph ever taken of the moon. HI plat wa exposed 20 min ute and the image wa about an inch In diameter. The photograph waa pre sented to what wa then the Lyceum of Natural History. It created a great teniatlon at the time, not only here but abroad. Daguerre't nam wa imm H0 1? v..;rf , , I " St'' f - . A given to the photographic process for many year after thia. The man whom New Yorlt univer sity I about to honor aa the first photographer and a great chemist waa born an Englishman. - He came to thia country at the age of twenty-two. graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1S36 and waa appoint ed professor of natural philosophy, chemistry and physiology at Hamp-den-Sydney college In Virginia. It waa from there that be was called in 1839 to be professor of chemistry at New York university, and be signalized hia change of residence by announcing almost immediately thereafter hia photographic process. He was con nected with the university until hi, death In 1882. Doctor Draper ha frequently been described a a pioneer In the science of prismatic analysis. His dlacow erles In this field covered a wide range. He even anticipated the Incan descent light of Edlaon when e sug gested as a standard for photometry for white light a piece of platinum foil of given area and thickness heated to Incandescent by an electric current of specified strength. Capillary attraction was the subject of hi first researchea and from them arose his discovery hs to how the blood Is' purified, a mystery which had baffled the scientist up to that time. It was In 1S47 that he explained tho circulation and purification of the blood In a work that attracted wide attention. Doctor Draper Is still remembered at New York university a one of the rcoat prodigloua worker ever known. Beside his extensive research work he found time to publish more than a hunded books, monographs and ad dresses. He wrote a history of tho Civil war tn three volume and hi "History of the Intellectual Develop ment of Europe" waa translated Into every civilized tongue. A Lazy Man's Job. Tip. since hi early wanderings on the plains, has alway laid that the softest lazy man' job on earth waa raising sheep. Sheep are bush feed ers. They will thrive on eating any thing from dead sage-brush to railroad snow fences. They will tunnel their muizle through snow to get a stick underneath for food. Of course they eat tbe snow when they get thirsty. Now Tip learn from an official gov ernment report that an Island off tho coast of Nova Bcotla has been a great success. Not an attendant with food, not a copper cent of cost to the own ers, and through two bitterly cold, hard wlntera those sheep have fat tened and flourished to splendid form and fleece.
