Mr. lllnman expressed the belief tbat there had been "a Jackpot," or general corruption fund In the Spring field legislature for many years, but be pointed to Mr. I-orliner's enemies as the probable contributors. .Mr. Yates emphatically denied that ne ever bad any conversation wlih Bdward I lines, of Chicago, over the loug distance telephone on the day senator Ixirlmer was elected.

Washington, June 22 Treading gin gerly over ground rendered danger oti by adverse reports made today by the senate committee on finance on the Democratic farmers' free list and the wool tariff revision bills, and startled by the threat that these measures, together with bills to re vise the cotton, sugar, lead and steel schedule would I hi offered a amend ment to the reciprocity bill, the sen ate concluded today without reaching the exiweted vote on the Canadian measure. Chairman Penrose, of the finance committee, fulfilled his promise made In anger on the floor yesterday when It became apparent that the KepuuU can majority had been hobbled by the coalition of Insurgents and Demo crats and called a meeting of the finance committee for today. It re sulted In the adverse reporting of the wool bill, 9 to 4, and the farmers' free list bill. 8 to 5. When these report were presented to the senate, every chance of an agreement for a vote on the reciprocity bill, to be followed by an early ad journment of the extra session, was removed. That the senate had entered upon the most difficult stage of its progress toward action on the reciprocity meas ure was conceded on every hand. It was admitted the measure was. threat ened with death or amendment that mlKht make It lnacceptable to Presi dent Taft or obnoxious to Canada. When the finance committee met today the regular Republican mem Iwrs, who had a bare majority of that one-time Invulnerable body, expressed relief that it had been demonstrated that their organization was no lonKer In command, so that they could shift the burden to the senate Itself and mat It was no longer necessary to dissemble. At the same time the view of the Republican regular that the effect would be to accomplish practically nothing In the present ses sion was voiced by such men as Pen rose and Ixdge. Seattle. Wash., June 21. One hun dred and twenty-six of the 2ix) claim ants of the MeAlplne coal group. In the Cook Inlet country of Alaska, have been directed by the Juneau land office to show cause within 60 days why their clulms should not be recommended for cancellation because of failure of the claimants to comply with the requirement of the Vnlted Slates statutes which provide that application for patent shall be made within three year from the time of locating coal lands. Washington, June 22 Representa tive Warburton, of Washington, fol lowing out. the Idea contained In his recent siieech In the house of rejtre. sentntlves, has Introduced a new bill placing stmar on the free Hut and In creasing the Internal revenue tax on cigars and tobacco. It Is his contention that such legis lation will tend to reduce the cost of sugar to the consumer and at the same time provide not only sufficient revenue to compensate for the loss of customs duties on Imported swtar. but a surplus which can be used to offset the los of custom revenue If other food product and necessities of life are placed on the free list. Mormon In Sugar Deal Washington Inquiry Into the rela tionship between the Mormon church and the American sugar Kenning company before the house committee of Inquiry Into the sugnr trust, dis closed that Henry O.

Twenty-four Republi cs. n. voted with the Democrat for the passage of the measure and ouo Democratic Representative, Francisco, of Ohio, voted against It, Many amendment were offered and voted down, the only one adoptod be ing a slight change In phraseology. Aluost five hour were pent by the ilouro ,a debate under tbe frte-mln-t.te nile. Immediately preceding the final vote, a motion offered by a represen tative of New York, that the bill ba resubmitted to the ways and meant comriiitee, with Instructions that it awn't a report from the tariff b;r? on the woolen Industry before inhk Ing final report of tbe bill, was lobt by a vote of 189 to 118. Representative Underwood, chair man of the way and mean commit tee and In charge of tbe bill, kept bis force well together in their op position to all amendment. While some Democrat proposed amend ments, with one exception they voted with the party when the bill, came to passage. Representative Cray, of Indiana, of fered an amendment to place raw wool on the free list. Instead of pre scribing a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem, and commit the bill to tha committee with Instruction that man ufactures be reduced to 20 per cent ad valorem. This was lost Washington, June 20. Through It first witness, Cyrus H. McCormlck, of Chicago, president of the Interna tional Harvester Company, the Io ri mer Investigating committee succeed ed today In Introducing Into It reo ord the principal allegation In which the senate wa Induced to reopen the case against the Illinois senator. It was to Clarence S. Funk, man ager of the harvester company, that Kdward Hlnes 1 alleged to have made the request for a contribution of $10. 000 as a part of a fund of $100,000 to be raised In behalf of Lortmer. Mr. McCormlck said Funk told him of his proposition, and said that he had refused, and by his refusal had won his (McCormlck') commendation. Mr. McCormlck said further that the harvester company had made a practice to hold aloof from politics, and to avoid efforts to Influence leg islation. Taking this as a cue, coun sel for Senator Lorlmer sought to show that in many state the com pany had made an effort to prevent the passage of bills considered objec tionable to it. The winess admitted that the company had made a general opposition to legislation providing for tbe manufacture of binding twiue In prisons. Washington, June 19. Frauds amounting to several million dollars In duties on importations of cutlery during the last few years have been discovered by the secret service agent of the customs service, who have been working In thl country and In the Solingen district of Ger many, whence most of the imports come to the United States. Secretary of the Treasury Mac- Veagh began an Investigation several months ago. It Is not sufficiently completed to say what action may be taken to recover the duties It is al leged the government has been de frauded of. A seizure of cutlery made In New York on Saturday illustrates that fact. In 43 cases of cutlery entered as having a value of $10,243, an under valuation of only $8t8 was found, but on that one seizure the govern ment had been defrauded of $3397 in duties. The duty on cutlery I very high. Washington. June 18.

The muit regal banquet palace of king or emperor ever wit nessed, and a gorgeous Shakespear ean ball under the auspice of noted society leader, stand forth a shining feature of the second day of Corona tion week. Tbe banquet In Bucking ham Palace wa a scene of Imperial grandeur, so far as the asemblage of royal and eminent personage and the setting of costly magnificence and beautiful decoration could make It. The King and Queen entertained tbe special delegation, the foreign Ambassadors and Minister, the offl cer of state and tbe household, tbe member of tbe cabinet, and ex cabinet member, tbe head of tbe church and Judiciary and of the army and navy. Tbe two largest apartments In the palace, the ballroom and tbe picture gallery which adjoin, were utilized aa a banqueting ball.

Pittsburg, Kan. The two wive of Peter C. Sharp must live apart the rest of their lives. Two three-room cottages, one on each side of his own little home, will be built, one for Anna Catherine and the other for Louisa. That which was thought would be a happy family when Peter met hi first wife, Anna Catherine, a month ago after a separation of 40 years, will be divided henceforth. The separation comes as a result of a quarrel, which terminated in a physical encounter and the decision of the husband that hi two wives shall live apart from now on. Peter, although hoping that he could patch up tbe quarrel between his two wive, saw that all hope had vanished and decided to build a cot tage for each wife on the opposite Ides of his little home. Louisa is to do the housework and cook hi meals one day, and Anna Catherine the other. RAIN USHERS IN CORONATION DAY London, Excited, Enthused, For gets to Sleep. HANGING ON LIVE WIRES, SAVED. nnnv.

Spokane, Wash. While a crowd of several hundred persons gazed breath lessly on the exploit, George Cowley, line foreman employed by the Wash ington Water Power Company, with four assistants, rescued Gordon B. Stone, a lineman who had been par- myzea Dy an electric shock, from a periioii position among the wire at tbe top of a pole. Stone had been working near the top of the pole, which carries a heavy load of cfoKsarm and a network of wire. He came In contact with bare wire carrying a high voltage feed circuit. He wa thrown clear of the pole, but the safety belt encircling the pole saved him from being dashed to death on the pavement. Unconscious. he fell across lower voltage wires several feet below where he had been working.

Thousand Up All Night to Secure Vantage Point en Rout ef Royal Proctttion. London Rain nshered In the day that Is to see tbe coronation of George V as King of England. A!l Is In readiness. The rain began at 7 o'clock in the morning and dampened somewhat the gaiety of tbe Immense crowds which already packed every availa ble place along tbe line of the coro nation procession. At tbat hour the pressure of the crowd was so Intense at many point tbat the police cordon wa broken and the aid of troop wa re quired to restore order. Tbat night a good part of Londoa did not go to bed at all, staying up to celebrate and to secure vantage points on the route of the royal pro cession. Many Americans were in the great crowds that surged through street. Many American dollar went for scats In the reviewing stands. which commanded fabulous prices. The scenes on the streets vividly recalled those enacted when the news of the relief of Mafeking was re ceived. Then there wa the Inrush from the suburbs of great crowds to watcn tne coronation procession and secure places. The King and Queen have not for a moment relaxed their strong sense of public duty, which baa character ized them since they mounted the throne. Though their majesties have long and exhausting ceremonies con fronting them, they are receiving vis itors, attending to matters of state and dropping in on the horse show at Olympia. Wherever they appeared iney were tne objects of unbounded enthusiasm. The British nation shows not the slightest sign of diminishinsr favor toward monarchical government. A nair century or quiet life under Queen Victoria has been succeeded bv a stirring decade, which haa een a coronation and two state funerals. Yet the public appetite is unsatiated. but ratner augmented, in its enthusi asm for royalty and kingly display. -ever oerore has tbi enthuiam reached such a high pitch and the ceremonies attendant upon the great event, tbe coronation of King George appear nicely to be marked bv a degree of excitement and public fer vor unrivalled on all great state cere monies In the past. Further, this tribute Is manifestly accorded more to the monarchy than to the mon arch, for it cannot be said that either King George V or Queen Mary is oeioved as was Victoria or so popular and esteemed as were Kin? Edward and Queen Alexandra. Frost Nips Vegetable. Tacoma, Wash. June' cool record Included a killing frost In the suburbs Wednesday. Just south of the city limits, on the Spanway line. Ice formed.
