Admitting he recognized as Inevitable "that the reciprocity bill was already passed," senator Lafollette today made a speech against the measure. Extreme heat caused him to cut his remarks short, but he will have the privilege of extending them in the Congressional Record. Lafollette chided the newspapers for uniting in favor of reciprocity measure and said it was difficult to defeat legislation for which the press of the country is united. In this instance he said the press did not represent the interests of the people and they would suffer for it. The vote will be had tomorrow. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

Since our forefathers landed at Ply mouth Rock, Indians have imbibed more or less freely, but until this afternoon, Richmond has not been troubled much with intoxicated red men. About two o'clock, Patrolman Westenburg was surprised to see a large crowd of people crowded around the entrance of the Y. M. C. A. He found the excitement was caused by a "tame" Indian, who was singing from a couple of Methodist hymnals. Chanting the tune of "Onward Christian Soldiers," the ex-savage was marched into the patrol wagon. He had some crayon pencils, and had been making some Indian decorations on canvas.

Continues His Story of His Knowledge of the Election of Lorimer. (National News Association) Washington, July 21. C. F. Wiehe, secretary of the Hines Lumber company admitted before the Lorimer invesetigation committee today that he advised two men to "keep out of the way" when the bribery investigation was In progress in Chicago. He declared he did this at the suggestion of Hines, who understood subpoenas had been isued for them. The persons were named Cook and O'Brien but it afterward developed no subpeonas had been issued. Hines made the request because of information received from a "man in Duluth." Weihe did not regard it as a violation of the law at that time. Wiehe also declared he did not know of any bribery connected with Lorimer's election. With reference to the message which Hines said he sent to Funk following their conversation in the Union League club when, according to Hines statement, he volunteered to contribute to the Lorinier election. Wiehe said that he called at Funk's office and telephoned to him twice. His message was to the effect that there was nothing in the matter re garding which Hines and Funk had talked of. Wiehe said Hines wanted to know what Cyrus McCormick had contributed to the Taft campaign fund of 1908, and asked him to get a list of contributors, which, he understood, was filed with the secretary of state of New York. He understood that this would show that McCormick and the Mc Cormick family had contributed. Some one told me," said Wiehe, SioDI
