was a liny American I lag.
I.oriiaer's desk was piled high with
books ami papers. He waited while
Senator Suioot caused a round-up to
obtain a iiiorum. Senators Kern ami
l.ca of the investigation committee's
minority weni llio special targets for
LorimerV attack today. He strode
toward them and shook his tist and
bobbed his shaggy head defiantly at
his accusers, defying them to refiilc
his statements.
Kern Keep Kllenro
Senator Lea started straight at
the llliuolsan, while Senator Kern
fugeied Ills watch chain nervously
aild once appeared to he on the point
of interrupting Lorimer to reply to
his charges. After a whispered con
versation with Lea and Huron, how
ever, Kern apparently changed his
mt ml ami sat silent under Lorimer's
assaults. Ixiriiaer began his speech
with a ruviuw of lteprcsontntive
Link's testimony,
"At no time ami no place did Mi
chael Link testify or confess that ho
wan bribed to vote for mo," declared
Lorimer. "And yet ho is one of the
alleged confessors. I appeal to any
member of the minority and they are
in the chamber today, to refute that
statement if they can. 1 challenge
them to dt) it now.
"Heeknieyer was not influenced to
vote for mo by Leo O'Neil Hrowue,
as is made tti appear, but by George
Altschulcr, Democrat, who devoted all
of his time to defeating Senator Hop

"Will some member of the minority

in the chamber. Let them deny that
1 am correclly ipioting the record."
Most oppressive heat again today
was suffered hy Lorimer, and his
auditors. Ho addressed u senate of
waving fans and hats. Lorimer weak
ened visibly under tho strain, after
only half an hour of speaking.
"Have you ever thought of tho fal
lacy of tho situation with regard to
Link, Heekeineyer iind Holtblaw?"
asked Lorimer. "Tho three men an
nounced for weeks to everybody that
they would vote for Lorimer. It is
claimed that then a man came and of

British Chancellor Tells of Work
man's Insurance Act and What It
Will Do Toward Provldlntj Protec
tion Against Results of Illness.
Next Step on Liberal Program Is to
Free the Land, Which Was Meant
for the Many and Seized by Few.
LONDON', July i:i.--Cliancell..r of
the H.xclieiucr Dm hi Lloyd-Gcnrgo
gave to the United Press today hi
first interview concerning the work
men's insurance net, which becomes
effective Monday throughout the
Hvitfsh sles." L'lKpies'tionably ihe
law is the most radical piece of so
ciological legislation ever placed oil
the statute books of any nation. Yet
the chancellor, its author, says it is
no more tiian "iiuoiner sieii in n.
great forward movement" initiated bt
the English Liberal when they came
into control of tho government scv'it
years ago.
In his interview with the United
Press not only his fir-t concerning
the new law, but almost the first he
has given out on any subject during
his entire public career Chancellor
Lloyd George tells in some detail, as
follows, what he e.H'cts workmen's
insurance to do for Kngland ami what
he believes it will lead te:
(Copyright, 1912, by the United
Press Associations.)
Hy the iiglitilounrnble David
Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer of Great Hritain.
The workmen's insurance act is one
mor step achieved in the great Lib
eral forward mou'iucnt which began
with the old age pension act which
wiih continued by the budget of 100:1,
providing for the taxation of land in
Great Hritain and has since been fur
thered by enactment of the law de
priving the house of lords of its right
to veto legislation thrice passed by
tho commons, the tropic's representa
tives. "For the first time in the history
of Great Hritain, us a stnte, employer
and worker lire now to eooicrate to
maintain and to increase the 'effi
ciency of the individual and of the
nation. The workmen's insurance act
aims to make provision for keeping
tho household from poverty; to keep
the worker and his family from pau
perism in the dark days of sicklies
which comes to every household in
turn, nml to gtmnl against suffering
from unemployment ,for which the
workman is not responsible.
"It will help the mother at child
birth and will inaugurate a great na
tional campaign against consump
tion. "Instead of devoting our strength
altogether to fighting our neighbors
abroad, wo are organising nrmnuents
to fight social evils at home.
"Although the nut has been the
subject of unscrupulous attacks and
of deliberate misrepresentation, I urn
convinced that it will bo hailed
throughout the whole country as one
of tho most beneficent measures ever
given to tho people.
"And now that the workmen's in
surance net will be in full operation
noxt Monday, we intend to put out
hands to the great work of freeing
tho laud, which was mennt for the
use of the many but which has drifted
into the hands of a few; to the work
of freeing it for the peoplo and for
their children forever."
The workmen's insurance act was
passed in parliament last winter after
a fierce fight, in which Chancellor
Lloyd-Goorgo was opposed by mem
bers of his own party on tho ground
that, though such legislation was
proper in principle, many of its pro
visions wore unjust, and that more
time ought to be allowed for consid
eration of enactments of so revolu
tionary a character.
Tho hostile Itouso of lords let the
bill go through in thu hope that tho
law would become so unpopular as to
bring about the liberals' defeat at tho
next election.

TO
BE PRESIDENT By
E
SAN ANTONIO, Texas. July 13.
Emilio Vusquez Gomez is awaiting
official notification that, for the
third time, he has been chosen pro
visional president of the republic- of
Mexico. Advices reaching here to
day declare General Oroco has fi
nally been prevailed upon to agree to
the miming of Gomer. It is stated
by the latter's friends, however, that
he will not accept unless he has
every assitance from Orozeo and tho
other rebel chiefs that his word as
president will bo accepted as final.
Gomez' last experiences as n revo
lutionary president ended in three
days. After being summoned to
Juarez to assume office, he was com
pelled to flee the country in haste
when Orozco suddenly renounced him
and declared for his secretary .is
president.
Gomez has the backing of jiower
ful interests, including the Diaz fol
lowers in Mexico, and Orozco con
sented to his appointment when it
was pointed out that his leadersdiip
would add much strength to the now
wavering rebellion.
It is stated here today that n fed
eral warrant for the arrest of Gen
eral Orozco has been issued, and that
should he cross to American soil at
any time, ho will immediately be ar
rested on a ehnrge of murder. Orozco
is held responsible for the killing of
Leroy Fountuiu, an American gunner,
with the federal troops, who was cap
tured and condemned to death. Later
the death sentence was suspended but
Fountain was killed by his guards,
who reported he was endeavorng to
escape.

Property by Reciverships.
SKATTLR, Wash.. July 13. Two
of the llanford receivers who drew
enormous fees and which are al
lged to have shown favoritism on
the part of Judge llanford, and abuse
of Judicial discretion, were called by
the congressional Investigating com
mittee this morning. They were
James A. Kerr, of the legal firm of
Kerr & McCord, receive for the Pa
cific Packing & Navigation Com
pany and the Pacific American Pack
ing Company, and Sutcliffe Baxter,
who Is at present one of the re
ceivers of the Western Steo (Corpora
tion, who already got $40,000 In fees
out of that case.
Seven In Four Years
In answer to Representative Mc
Coy, Baxter testified that he had no
profession, that he Is not a lawyer,
and that he has had seven receiver
ships from Judge Hantord In the past
four or flvo years.
Baxter could not give the exact
dates and detailed facts In connec
tion with the receiverships which he
held, and was excused to prepare the
data by next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Kerr was appointed receiver for
the packing company by Judge Han
ford March 1903. In that connec
tion, Judge llanford Is charged with
allowing Kerr, as receiver, and the
firm of Kerr and McCod, as attor
neys for the receiver, the excessive
fee or $140,000.
From the beginning of Kerr's tes
timony, lie clashed with Representa
tive McCoy when the latter Insisted
on finding out what steps Kerr had
taken to ascertain If the capital stock
in the companies had been paid up.
Witness Heroines Angry
Kerr said ho did not get the
treasury book from Its custodian In
New Jersey and so never proceeded
to make stock subscribers pay up.
Kerr, It developed, was attorney
for the two companies up to tho
time of their failure. 'When McCoy
insisted In questioning Kerr what
actual steps he had taken, accord
ing to the laws of New Jersey, to got
tho treasury book, Kerr got mad and
said he had been "pressed far
enough" In that direction.
Tho witness was given to under
stand by Chairman Graham that he
was not to decido what questions are
to bo asked of him. Kerr said he
could not recollect that he consulted
his attorney and partner McCord
about the matter.

RIVERS CLAIMS
I
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 13.
Tho controversy between Ad Wolgast
and Joo Rivers reached the boiling
point today whon Joe Levy, manager
for Rivers, Issued a statoment de
claring that unless tho champion
within 48 hours declares himself re
garding a return mutch, he will claim
tho title for his Mexican protoge.
Levy demands an ond tq quibbling and
an Immediate signing of articles, and
offers to bet $5,000 at tho prevailing
odds.
Lovy's statement, far different from
the silent policy ho adopted after tho
July 4, battle at Vernon, Is an out
and out dofl to Wolgast. Further
more, It discredits tho champion's
claim of threo broken bones la bis
left wrist.
Replying to tho cballongo, Wolgast
angrily said:
"Rlvors challenge, through Levy's
statement, is tho groateat outburst
of hot air over sprung by a loser, This
streak of yellow need not bo afraid
he won't got another fight. And I'll
beat him betoro the limit la reached.
I'll bet on that, too,
"I'll sign for my fights whenqver
I got ready. I happen to b? tho
champion and no ond shall dictate to
me what I shall do,
"In regard to Lovy's statement that
ho will claim tho title for Rivers, let
him go ahead and do It. He'll only
make himself tho laughing stock of
the sporting world." y
