HILL'S PROMISE

Spokane Inquisitors Not to Be
Given Documents in Case
Against Gordon.
DIRECTORS ISSUE LETTER
Declare They Have Nothing Which
Would Be of Value to Jurors,
and Refuse to Allow Company
Docunients Out of State.
ST. PAUL, June. 9. Louis TV. Hill,
president o( the Great Northern Rail
road, this afternoon gave the Asso
ciated Press the first authentic state
ment of the position of the Great North
ern Railway Company relative to de
mands recently made upon it by the
grrand jury of Spokane County. Wash,
to furnish certain documents In con
nection with Indictments against its
former attorney, M. J. Gordon. The
statement says:
"The interview credited to J. J. Hill,
at Spokane, is stated not to be authen
tic, as Mr. Hill refimed to discuss any
thing connected with the grand jury
investigation after leaving the grand
Jury room. However, he did agree to
lay tbe question of furnishing these
documents before the beard. This was
done today, and the secretary, .by or
der of the board, has sent the follow
ing communication to the foreman of
the grand Jury:
" 'The board has carefully consid
ered the request made on its chairman
by the grand Jury of Spokane County,
"Wash., to send it from the company's
flics and records in St. Paul certain
papers and documents. Some of the
documents requested have never ex
isted, and as to the others, the board,
after full investigation and report by
counsel, is of the opinion that there
are no records in the possession of the
company which would serve to give the
grand Jury any Information in addi
tion to that already in its possession.
"Therefore, after taking the advice
of its own and outside counsel con
cerning Its duty in ttrj premises, the
board has reached the conclusion that
it will not in this case depart from .lS
rule, established many years ago, and
almost invariably adhered to, that the
company s records snail not be per
mitted to leave the state of Minnesota.
tor the foregoing reasons the board
declines to surrender the records to the
keeping of the grand jury of Spokane
County, wash.

CHICAGO, June 9. (Special.) The Chi

Coast extension of the St. Paul system,
has decided to become a free lance with
respect to traffic, and with that end
in view has refused to Join the Trans

This bureau controls the making
transcontinental freight rates, and is said
to be largely dominated by Harriman in

Is taken to indicate more or less of

WASHINGTON, June 9. In a canvass
of the Senate today to determine what
would be the fate of a proposition to
place a tax upon net earnings of cor
porations as a substitute for an income
tax it was developed that there is an
overwhelming sentiment in opposition
to such a plan. Practically all of those
opposed to the Income tax idea are
against the corporation tax and the
supporters of the income tax refuse ab
solutely to be sidetracked from th.e
principle for which they are contend
ing.
Taft Suggests New Tax.
After a conference at the White House
yestercay between President Taft and
senator Aldrlch it was said that the
nnance committee would consent to
placing a 2 per cent tax upon the net
earnings- of corporations if the sunDorters
i tne income tax amendment would ac
cept it and withdraw their rjronosltion
This suggestion, it is declared, came from
tne President and was designed to pre
vent a. split in the Republican party over
tne income tax feature.
Aldrich communicated the plan to Sen
ator Cummins and Senator Borah, lead
ers of the progressives, who have favored
tne cummins income tax amendment
These Senators consulted their colleagues
ana tne plan was repudiated by them, as
It was Dy tne Republican leaders opposed
to me income tax idea.
May Postpone Income Tax.
By an order of the Senate the income
tax proposition will come up tomorrow
for a vote, but in view of the unsettled
condition a motion will be made to post
pone action It is expected that Senator
Bailey will protest vigorously against this
aeiay. in view of the short time that re
mains before the date popularly fixed in
the public mind for adjournment of the
present session, some of the income tax
advocates are not inclined to insist upon
a vote ai me present session. II the rjroo-
osition be referred to the Judiciary com
mittee with instructions to report to the
oenate cany in the next regular session.
Daniel May Claim Glory.
So far as the pending tariff bill is con
cerned, some Republican leaders fear that
any plan to tax the net earnings of cor
porations might be hailed as a Demo
cratic idea, for the reason that Senator
Daniel has pending an amendment to do
mat very thing.
ably & Judge of fooling business," replied
the Wyoming Senator.
During an acrid colloquy between the
Senators from Wyoming and Wisconsin,
La Follette declared:
, "I want to believe that there are men
on this floor who do not know the inter
ests they are serving.'
East Bcoraing Enlightened.
Asked as to the results of his cam
paign of enlightenment. La Follette,
showing much feeling, said:
. "They have been pretty good. When I
came here I stood alone, and now there
are a dozen who stand with me."
La Follette continued:
"And the results will be better, let me
tell the Senator from Wyoming. The
lines will be broken not only In the mid
dle and extreme West, but in the Bast as
well. I think I know what I am talking
about."
Another How With Warren.
With 45 Senators present La Follette
resumed the floor at the night session.
taking up the compensatory duty of -tho
woolen schedule. He read from a com
ment on the American woolen industry
by the British Tariff Commission in 1905
to the effect that conditions in the United
States had improved to such an extent
that it was doubtful if Great Britain
could compete with the American manu
facturers of men's goods, even if the low
rates of duty were restored. It declared
also that the difference in the wages
worked both ways and the difference
did not compensate entirely for the in
creased efficiency of labor in America.
LaFollette endeavored to show that the
cloth upon which was assessed a compen
satory duty upon the ground that it con
tained four pounds of wool to the yard
did not as a rule contain that much
wool. Warren, saying that he quoted
from LaFollstte's authority, asked- if it
were not true that it took more than
six pounds of wool to the yard of clotn.
A heated argument resulted, in which
LaFollette declared that he was not in
the habit of Juggling facts.
Warning to Majority.
"The Democratic party is not going to
neglect the issue," said LaFollette in
warning the members of the majority of
the disastrous effect which he maintained
re-enactment of the Dingley rates
would have on the Republican party.
"And if It does, I know some progres
sive Republicans who will- not," he
added.
La Follette asked if the members of
the finance, committee intended to have
any vote taken tonight. He suggestd that
the Senate might adjourn. Flint ex
plained that Aldrlch would return to the
Senate chamber at once. Overman sug
gested the absence of a quorum, necessl
ating a rollcall.
Reading the closing pages of the record
of the Senate last evening. Clay this
morning made-an earnest protest against
what he called a perversion of the rules
when his demand for a division on Sen
ator Aldrich's motion to adjourn was de
nied. He took the floor as soon as pos
sible after the Senate convened and made
brief statement. He had desired, he
said, to insist upon the previously adopt
ed order of business for a night session
last ntght, which right he said was im
properly withheld from him.

Attorney Says If Any Fraud Was
Committed Mrs. Guggenheim
Knew About It Herself, but
Said Nothing.
CHICAGO, June 9. (Special.) The
claim of Mrs. Grace B. Guggenheim that
her divorce from William Guggenheim,
the youngest of the seven millionaire
brothers who control the smelting in
terests of the West, was obtained bv
fraud was attacked today by Ell B.
Felsenthal, who acted as Mrs. Guggen
heim's attorney when she was granted
the divorce here eight years ago.
If there was any fraud, it was prac
ticed by Mrs. Guggenheim herself," said
Mr. Felsenthal. "We acted solely on her
representations. She had been through
the courts before, and seemed thoroughly
conversant with the divorce laws. She
brought us Introductions from thoroughly
reputable people, and we had no reason i
then to doubt her word in connection with !
the matter of a divorce.
'Mrs. Guggenheim may have been
ignorant of the statutes of Illinois, but
I should say that she seemed fairly well
Informed. In regard to the statement that
she did not have a residence in Chicago
at the time of her divorce here, I may
simply say that the law of Illinois does
not demand a residence when the offense
for which the divorce was granted had
been committed in the state. As to any
collusion for the purpose of securing the
divorce here, I say positively that we
knew nothing whatever of such arrange
ment. '
Ex-Judge Dunne, who presented Mrs.
Guggenheim's affidavit to Judge Honore,
on which the case was reopened, is firmly
convinced that Mrs. Guggenheim's divorce
was secured through fraud and con
spiracy.
He affirms that he believed Mrs. Gug
genheim . to have been a legal resident
of Chicago when as Judge of the Circuit
Court, he granted the divorce.

DIGLEY WOOL RATE REVIVED
Senate Votes Down Amendments.
La Follette and Warren Spar.
AaHi.NUTUN, June 9. The woolen
schedule of the tariff bill was still under
consideration by the Senate today when
tne recess lor dinner was taken. The
committee amendment increasing the
House rate on wool tops and other wastes
irom zu cents a pound to 30 cents a pound
was adopted Dy a vote of 40 to 30. This
was a finance committee change and the
committee scored its usual maloritv.
Gamble and Crawford deserted the "pro
gressives." but with these exceptions the
ranks of the contingent . remained un
broken. The committee amendment in
creasing the duty on shoddy from 20 cents
a pound to 2o cents, and that on tops
from 18 to 20 cents also prevailed, by 42
to 31.
Warren and La Follette Mix.
Speeches were made during the day by
Warren and La. Follette. the former ad
vocating, as yesterday, a generally in
creased duty, while the latter contended
for a general reduction. The two Sena
tors engaged in a sharp controversy, dur
ing which La Follette said that he ex
pected further recruits to his amendment.
Probably the most interesting develop
ment of the day was a declaration by
Dolllver that a "rag trust" existed. The
Iowa Senator was contradicted by
"Warren.
Discussing an amendment Increasing
the House rates on woolen rags, mungo
and. flocks from 6 cents to 10 cents a.
pound. Warren and Smoot insisted that
the lower rate would displace pure wools
with shoddy in the making of American
woolen cloth for clothing.
Dollver Scorches Rag Trust.
Dolllver said he wanted the duty high
enough to keep rasrs out, but not high
enough to permit the organization of a
"rag trust." The amendment was
agreed to.
A substitute by Dolliver levying a
duty on wool advanced from the scoured
state and known as tops at 30 cents a
pound, when valued at not more than 40
cents a pound, and 36 cents when valued
at more than 40 cents, together with an
additional ad valorem duty of 20 per cent
in place of a duty equal to that imposed
upon manufactures of wool, was defeated
by a vote of 42 to 29.
Dolllver also offered a substitute for
section 373 providing for a duty of ZThi
cents a pound on yams valued at not
more than 40 cents and SS cents a
pound on yarns valued at more than 40
cents, together with an ad valorem duty
of 35 per cent.
Woolen . Mill Men Fooled.
Discussing this substitute. La Follette
read telegrams appealing to him to sup.
port the committee's schedule on woolens
as of equal interest to woolgrowers with
the duty on wool. He said these tele
grams were signed by owners of small
woolen mills and all of them read alike.
"Why not read their names?" suggested
Warren.
"Because." retorted La Follette, "they
have been fooled Into signing such tele
grams and did not know what they were
doing."

LOKDON, June 9. The deliberations
of the Imperial Press Conference were
continued today, and the dominant
note In the discussion this morning
was the recognition by all the speak
ers of the fact that the over-seas dom
minions of the empire must be left 'in
full control of their own naval and mil
itary arrangements. A. J. Balfour, who
presided, warmly advocated this view,
but at the same time he said that the
local forces must be so organized as to
be readily amalgamated with the army
and navy of Great Britain for imperial
defense.
It was in the home waters of the
North Sea, the Channel, or perhaps the
Mediterranean, Mr. Balfour said, that
the Armageddon sealing the fate of
Canada, Australia, South Africa and the
empire would be fought.
J. S. Brierley, of Montreal, referred
to the sensitiveness of Canada on this
question, but he said the Dominion
would most willingly send troops and
ships and spend its last cent to pre
vent a disaster to the empire which
would mean a menace to the peace and
welfare of the world.
REVIVES OLD ALIMONY CLAIM
Mrs. Guggenheim Insists She Is Still
Wife of Smelter Man.
NEW YORK, June 9. The suit start
ed in Chicago yesterday by Mrs. Grace
D. Guggenheim to annul her divorce of
1901 from William Guggenheim, the
smelter trust king, is taken by New
York lawyers as a step preparatory to
the pushing of the suit she filed against
Guggenheim in this city last January
for support. Mrs. Guggenheim brought
suit for absolute divorce in the Su
preme Court here, alleging then, as
now, that her Chicago divorce from Mr.
Guggenheim was invalid.
The plaintiff made no mention of
the amount of alimony, but claimed
that as the Chicago divorce was not
legal she was still his wife and, there
fore, was entitled to alimony. She set
forth that her marriage to Jules Roger
Wahl subsequently had had nothing to
do with her rights to sue Mr. Guggen
helm. Incidentally, she asserted that
Mr. Guggenheim's second marriage was
invalid.
Following the Introductory argu
ments Justice Gerard adjourned the
hearing for a week. Mr. Guggenheim's
counsel - asked for an indefinite ad
Journment that he might take the de
positions of witnesses abroad. Mrs.
Guggenheim opposed this, declaring
that she was in want.
