PRESIDENT TAFT VISITS NEW YORK

Enjoys Himself Immensely as Orator of Honor at Banquet. SPEAKS TO COTTON SEED MEN Tells Them All About Canadian Reciprocity and Why He Thinks Its Adoption Will Benefit the Country. New York, June 9,—As the guest of honor at the Hotel Astor of the Produce*Exchange and the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers' association," President Taft had an enjoyable time There was no doubt that Mr. Taft found the evening a pleasant one, for the southern cotton men not only made it plain that they liked him immensely, but that they were strong for his Canadian reciprocity plan. The southerners banged the tables, cheered 'every sentence the president uttered and rose at end of his speech to give a thunderous "aye” when one of their number put the question: “Are we

with the president?” Mr Tatrt appeal to the cotton men was characteristically direct. He told them he believed that reciprocity with Canada would be good business for them, that it would help them rather than injure them, just as it would benefit rather than injure the farmers of the country He asked them to get after their senators and let these legislators understand what their desire was. The president explained also that the farmers' free list should not be tacked on as an amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill for the reason that it had no relevancy, and because it would drive away from the reciprocity bill enough votes to defeat the proposed agreement with Canada. Mr. Taft began by a reference to the growth of the cotton seed oil industry and to the fact that the Canadian reciprocity bill would secure the admission of the oil into Canada free of duty. He continued: “Under the treaty vegetables and fruits of all kinds enter Canada free. One of the greatest branches of the farming industry in th® south is truck farming and the bringing of early vegetables to the north. The same thing is true of fruits and berries. With the introduction of these free ' into Canada you will secure other cus- , tomers with a valuable trade that will , add greatly to the demand and that , will certainly expand your industry |and maintain the price at which it can be profitably carried on. I ‘The treaty has opponents, how- - ever, vigorous, active and vociferous, ! and the arguments against it and the means taken to defeat it are not always of a direct character. The house of representatives, soon after it passed the hill embodying the reciprocity , aereement, passed a bill known as the farmers’ free list. In my judgment it was unfortunate and unjust that this bill should have been introduced and ‘adopted by some on the theory that it was a sop to the farmers to make up for the injustice and injury assumed

to have been dune them in the Canadian reciprocity bill, for there is no injustice done to the farmers in the Canadian reciprocity agreement. Whether the farmers' free list is a measure which ought to be passed is a question on the merits of that bill and is to be and ought to be determined upon considerations wholly apart from the merits of the Canadian reciprocity. “I am glad to say that Mr. Underwood who introduced the farmer’s free list, repudiated any such idea, but certain it is, that a number of people have assumed that unless the farmers’ free list was passed at the same time the Canadian reciprocity agreement would be an injury or unfair to the farming classes. Nothing could be further from the truth in my judgment. The Canadian reciprocity agreement will greatly aid the farming classes, both . in the north and in the south “The farmers’ free list has no relevancy at all to the Canadian recii prociety agreement because it affects imports from all the world and is a general tariff revision, having nothing whatever to do with the contract . which we have made with Canada. If . it is voted on to the reciprocity agreement it wjjl drive away from the support of the reciprocity agreement a great number of votes, enough to defeat thq, agreement. This, it seems to I me. ought to prove an insurmountable objection to voting a free list as an amendment to reciprocity.”

Mexican Troops Permitted to Pass.

The United States has granted permission to the Mexican government for the passage of Mexican federal troops through the United States while enroute from Her* mosillo, Mex., into Lower California to suppress the socialistic revolutionary movement there which is still in progress.

SLOW START OF INQUIRY

Lorimer Case Probers Study Helm Committee Report. 1 ■ - Senators Will Take Testimony After Digesting Evidence Obtained in Illinois. Washington, June 9. Members of the special committee of the senate appointed to reinvestigate the election of Senator Lorimer of Illinois probably will not begin their formal investigation until the middle of next week at the earliest and possibly not before week after next. The committee only received proof sheets of the j testimony taken by the Helm investiI gating committee of the Illinois seni ate, which contained evidence almost j entirely new to the senate, and it is | believed.jt will take the committee at least until Monday to digest this evi- ' dence. In addition, three members of the investigating committee have never before been concerned with the election of the Illinois senator in their official capacity as senators, and it is understood they may wish a little time in which to familiarize themselves with the testimony taken by the previous investigating committee of the senate. The real stumbling block to an im- • mediate opening of the investigation, however, lies in the proposed organization of the investigating committee I Under the terms of the resolution passed by the senate the committee is authorized to hire clerks, accountants and counsel. It is the desire of the committee that all of these officials may be of such standing as to claim the confidence not only of the senate but of the country.

Between 9:30 and IG o'clock at night, Iruse Rey, former mayor of the little town of Guadalupe, forty miles eaSt of Juarez, alighted from a street car in front of the Juarez customhouse and a bulge in his hip pocket attracted the attention of the police, who saw him about to ascend the steps of the customhouse. Roja, a policeman, placed him under arrest and found a tin can bomb in his hip pocket. He took the prisoner to the jail, where he was placed in confinement Two other men were arrested assuspects, but released later. The bomb was full of dynamite. The prisoner will probably be put to death. At Chicago Tuesday motion to quash the indictment charging Frank B. Harriman, Joseph E. Buker, Charles Ewing and John M. Taylor with conspiracy to defraud and confidence game in connection with the alleged Illinois Central graft exposure was filed before Judge Scanlan in the circuit court. Basing their contention upon fiftv-nine separate grounds, counsel for the defendants attack the legality ot the indictment, the Jurisdiction of the Cook county criminal court and the validity of the acts of the jury commissioners tn drawing the grand jurors by whom the indictment was returned. Many of the insurrecto generals <are tc be retained in the service of the Mexican army.

A dispatch from Juarez. Mex., sdys A widespread anti-Madero plot, with ramifications in San Anfcnio, El Pa . New York and Mexico'City, has been discovered, according to the Mexican government officials. The first purpose of the plotters is said to be the establishment iq the cities named of juntas similar to those of the revolutionary party and then to carry on a systematic effort to hamper Madero and to restore to power a certain political element which was ousted when President Diaz resigned. J. D. Bren, accountant and treasurer at the University of M inneosta, was arraigned in municipal court and charged with the theft of $13,600, which he held in trust for university students. He asserts the money was stolen from him early last Friday by robbers who held him up in a secluded campus spot. Bren was released on a band of $2,500. He reiterated his statement that he is absolutely innocent of the crime and that his accounts are in good condition. ‘ Taft’s speech on Canadian reciprocity in Chicago has aroused bitter resentment among certain senators who are opposing the pending trade agreement These senators are ugly over the charge of the president that the opposition is inspired by the American manufacturers of print paper and those who control the lumber supply of the United States. Informal conferences will be held in Washington shortly by senar tors who want to so amend the pure food and drug act of 1966 as to make It apply to misstatements about the curative effect of medicines as well as misstatements about the ingredients.
