In a letter to Hugh T. Halbert, Min
nesota Roosevelt leader, who recently
mailed a circular letter to all candi
dates for governor In that state, ask
ing them to go on record In support
of the proposed new third party move
ment, Governor Eberhard positively
refused to join the third party movement
Washington. By a vote of 55 to IS
the United Slates senate took away
from William Lordlier his seat aa sen
ator from Illinois. Hi election was
held to have been Invalid and he was
declared to have been the recipient of
votes obtained by "corrupt methods
and practlcf.""
Lorimer had been a member of the
senate since June 18, 1909. The first
suggestion of fraud In connection with
his election became public In April,
1910, when Charles A. White, a mem
ber of the Illinois legislature, swore
that he had received $1000 at a bribe
tor voting for Lorimer.
The senate, by Its action, reversed
the majority of Its own Investigating
committee and changed Ita vote of
March 1, 1911, when Lorimer retained
his seat 4S to 40.
The outcome of the vote was not
surprise, but the leaders of the fight
against him had not estimated great
er vote than 50 to 35. Lorimer gained
only one of the men who voted against
him in March, 1911 Senator Jones, of
Washington while he lost the votes
of his associutes, Seuator Cullom, and
of Senators Curtis, of Kansas, Briggs
of New Jersey, Simmons of North Car
olina, and Watson of West Virginia.
The western senators who voted
against Lorimer were Borah, of Idaho,
Bourne and Chamberlain of Oregon,
and Poindexter of Washington. Jones
of Washington voted for Lorimer and
Keyburn of Idaho was paired in his
favor.
British Protest Goes to Congress.
The senate was offlcally notified of
the British protest against the Pan
ama canal administration when Sec
retary of State Knox In a letter to
Senator Brandegee, chairman of the
senate lnteroceanlc canals committee,
outlined objections raised by Great
Britain.
The Btate department has taken the
attitude that the protest of the Brit
ish government against free Ameri
can shipping is not properly a matter
for diplomatic treatment at this time.
The senate leaders behind the Pan
ama bill were firm In their opinion
that the measure should be taken up
as soon as reached in the regular or
der of business In the senate, and the
senate voted 40 to 34 to make the
Panama canal bill unfinished business.
This substantially refuses Great Brit
ain's request that the bill be held up
pending diplomatic negotiations. An
effort to put democratic tariff legis
lation ahead was lost This action
will undoubtedly open the flood gates
of oratory both for and against the
bill and will prolong Its consideration.
Archbald Case to Wait
It was practically determined that
the Archbald Impeachment case will
not be tried by the senate this sum
mer. The delay is said to be In ac
cordance with the withes of Judge
Archbald.
It was arranged that the senate
should be notified of the bouse reso
lution of Impeachment and that the
managers should formally appear this
week to demand trial. While the
house managers were desirous of hav
ing the case heard at once they met
opposition on both sides of the cham
ber. The hot weather, the rush of oth
er business and the approaching poli
tical campaign all combined to favor
a postponement of the trial.
Immigration Bars Down.
All bars restricting the admission
to the United States of minor foreign
born children of naturalized citizens,
whether Imbecile, Idiots, or other for
bidden classes, were swept away by
a far reaching Interpretation of the
Immigration and naturalization laws
by Secretary Nagel.
Mr. Nagel Interpreted the law to
mean that the naturalization of a man
conferred American citizenship on a!!
his minor children as soon as they
relingulshed their residence abroad.
This decision completely overturns
the previoui policy of the government.
Drastic Express Reform Proposed.
Sweeping reductions in express
rates averaging approximately 15 per
cent, drastic reforms In regulations
and practices, and comprehensive
changes in the methods of operation,
are prescribed in a report made public
by the Interstate commerce commis
sion of its Investigation into the bus
iness of the 13 great express compan
ies of the United States.
Briefly stated, the new rates may
tie said to be based upon a minimum
charge of 21 cents for a one-pound
package. This charge decreases in
ratio to the Increase of weight and
distances, at rates varying from three
tenths of a cent a pound to about 12
cents a pound. Twelve cents a pound,
according to the conclusions of the
commission. Is approximately Die
highest rate per pound for the great
est distance possible for a parcel to be
carried wholly within the Cnlted
States, exclusive of Alaska.
