Absent—Aldrich, Frazier and Ter
rell.
While no pairs -were announced,
Senator Aldrich was paired on other
questions with Senator Terrel, both
being absent on account of illness.
Senator Taliaferro’s silence may sig
nify a pair with Senator Frazier, who
1 was absent on account of the death of
his mother. Mr. Taliaferro has been
understood to be pro-Lorimer.
There Is one vacancy caused by the
death of Mr. Hughes of Colorado,
leaving the present voting strength of
the senate 91, and 46, a qurom. Mr.
Lorimer got a majority of the sitting
members.
The position of Senators Frazier and
Terrell, who were absent were an
nounced as both anti-Lorlmer.
There is a general understanding
that Senator Aldrich would have fav
ored Lorimer. Nothing was stated on
the floor regarding his attitude.
Large Attendance.
When at 11 o’clock the senate con
vened with a large attendance of
members, most of the senators appear
ed anxious to expedite business with
a view to getting at the Lorimer case
at the first possible moment. Senator
Stone was an exception. He Insisted
upon the full reading of the long jour
nal of yesterday and upon the most
minute attention to all details. On
the conclusion of the routine business,
Senator Owen of Oklahoma secured
the floor and began a speech in oppo
sition to Mr. Ixirimer. The Illinois
senator was among the members on
me floor while Mr. Owen was speak
ing. He occupied a chair against the
wall of the chamber and appeared to
be giving the closest atention to the
■Oklahoman.
Before Mr. Owen began his speech
Mr. Beveridge had shown a disposi
tion to hasten rather than impede the
proceedings. He refused to permit the
transaction of any other than neces
sary business.
Stain Had Been Left.
“I am sorry for Wm. Lorimer,” said
Senator Owen, impressively, as he
(took the floor.
Elaborating upon his sympathy fm
the Illinois senator, Mr. Owen still
(maintained that a stain had been left
; upon Lorimer’s good name by the
manner of his election to the senate.
There has been corruption and bribery
in that occurrence, contended the
Oklahoma senator, and he said that
It wa s Impossible not to believe that
Lorimer had not known what was
transpiring.
Mr. Owen following an interruption
by Mr. Heyburn then read a telegram

FOR THE CHILDREN
Some one has said, “Save a man and you save a soul; save a child
and you save a soul plus a life." This idea is hack of the work Lindsey
1* doing in the juvenile court; back of the service Jane Addams is ren
dering to humanity in Hull House; back of the social center movement
now spreading from state to state; back of the Ten-Hour Law for Wo
men; back of the fight to wipe out the child labor disgrace;—back of
all men’s efforts to conserve child life. And It is this idea that should
prompt every man and woman throughout this wide land to urge his
sentative in the lower House of Congress to vote for the bill creat
ing the Children's Bureau. Conservation of our natural resources Is a
very important and necessary duty; but not more so than the conserva
tion of the children, through which will come highly efficiency, more dif
fused happiness, and nobler achievement for the whole human race. Let
us all M'ork together to secure the speedy passage of this bill. The ses
sion is drawing to a close. There is need to act quickly. Write your
Congressman today.—LaFollette’s Weekly.
HEW FRENCH PREMIER IS
EXPERIENGINGJIFFICOLTY
Only Portfolios Definitely Ac
cepted Are Those of Finance,
War and Navy.
Paris.—Antoine Monis is experienc
ing some difficulty in organizing a
ministry, but it is expected he will
announce his definite acceptance of
the premiership to President Fallieres
during the day and it is possible that
he will make known his associates to
night.
Former Premier Ribot has declined
the proffer of the ministry of foreign
affairs and Senator Raymond Poincare
to whom this portfolio was next of
fered said that he would give his de
cision later.
M. Caillaux has definitely accepted
the post of minister of finance. He
served in the same capacity in the
Clemenceau cabinet. Last night M.
Monis announced that M. Delcasse
had accepted the portfolio of marine
and M. Berteaux that of war.
As he was driving about Paris in
a motor car today on his mission of
cabinet making, M. Monis, who did not
disclose his identity, was stopped en
route to the Elysee Palace by a po
liceman who summoned the chauffeur
to court for violating the speed regu
lations. The new premier continued
his campaign after a little delay.
BLEASE NOT TO PUT BAN
ON EXHIBITION BOUTS
Carolina’s Governor Says Con
tests With Gloves With No
Reward at Stake Are 0. K.
Columbia, S. C.—-Governor Blease,
discussing a recent reported boxing
match in Camden, at which a com
batant took the count with two ribs
broken, said: “Well, I have nothing
to do with that. If Johnson and Jef
fries come here and put on a bout,
the law cannot molest them, so long
as they do not fight for money or some
other reward. It is a ‘prize fight’ that
our law bars, nothing else.”
The governor’s intimation was that
he would not interfere with exhibition
bouts or with any fistic mill not fairly
describable as a "prize fight.”
In this connection, it is Interesting
to recall a denial by the governor, be
fore his inauguration, of a story from
New Orleans, to the effect that as
surances had been given horse racing
interests that they would be protected
by tho Blease administration In case
they decided to establish a metropoli
tan circuit track in this state. The
governor said then, however .that he
ioved a good race and would like to
see one, although he had not actually
witnessed a horse race since his 21st
year.

ing February, broke all records, aggre
gating 263,688 barrels. Flour men

east was flourishing. The exports

ruary aggregated 49,736 barrels.
The flour shipments from Puget
Sound have shown an Increase every

JAS. F? SHAw'hAS BOUGHT

Chattanooga, Tenn.—A special from
Gadsden, Ala., says it Is understood
there that James F. Shaw of Boston,
one of the directors of the Alabama
Consolidated Coal and Iron company
and president of the American Rail
way association now- In Gadsden at
tending a stockholders’ meeting, has
bought the Mary Lee Railroad In the

AUGUSTA. GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, AFTERNOON, MARCH 1, 1911.
PRES’T. TUFT
SENDS DATA OF
TARIFF BOARD
Transmits Information In Re
sponse to Resolution of Sena
tor Cummins.
ANSWER UNSATISFACTORY
PROBABLY TO THE IOWAN
Friends and Foes of Canadian
Trade Agreement Think Sit
uation is Unchanged.
Washington.—President Taft’s re
sponse to a resolution introduced into
the senate by Mr. Cummins, asking
for data gathered by the tariff board
in respect to articles covered by the
proposed Canadian reciprocity agree
ment and many articles which the
agreement does not include, was read
In the senate today. The answer prob
ably will prove unsatisfactory to the
lowa senator, unless it was his pur
pose to show, by statements from the
board, that there had been insufficient
information gathered to proceed Intel
ligently with a tariff discussion of
the articles named. The inquiry by
the Cummins resojution embraced
pulp, wood, wood pulp paper, woo],
woolen thread, cloth, and clothlng > cot
ton thread, cloth and clothing; car
pets, boots and shoes, iron ore, pig
iron and manufactured iron and steel
agricultural implements, coal, meats,
flour and lumber. The President trans
mitted the information concerning such
articles as are Included by the Can
adian agreement. He said.
Current Prices.
“I transmit herewith a report from
the tariff board giving the Informa
tion in its possession, relating to pulp
wood, pulp and news print paper and
farm products (Including live stock)
and current relative prices In Canada
and the United States of wheat, bar
ley and food products of th farm, In
cluding meats, poultry and eggs, dairy
products and vegetables.
What Farmers Buy.
The evident purpose of Mr. Cum
mins In presenting his resolution was
to show that the tariff hoard did not
take into consideration articles which
farmers must buy in making an agree
ment w-hlch, opponents of the McCall
bill Insist, affects only such articles
as the farmer has to sell.
Neither friends nor foes of the re
ciprocity agreement believed today
that the situation of that proposition
had materially changed.
DRUNK WHEN MARRIED;
NOW WANTS RELEASE
Columbia, S. C.—Attorney Geo. R.
Rembert, representing the plaintiff,
appeared before Judge Robert O.
Copes In Richland court and askeff
for an annulment of the marriage of
Walter T. Reckling and Alma Wil
liams. The defendant made no re
sponse after the notice was served,
and the case was referred to Mr. A.
u. McFadden, master in equity, who
was instructed to take testimony and
make a report of hi g findings.
The annullment was sought on the
grounds that Reckling was intoxicated
at the time of the marriage; that the
woman took advantage of his condi
tion, and that when he recovered his
mind he repudiated the marriage and
refused to recognize the matrimonial
bond. It Is further charged against
the woman that she has a lawful hus
nand living and that she Is further
more a woman of notorious character.
The marriage from which Reckling Is
seeking relief took place on the night
of December 11th last.
RAIN AND COLDER IS
PREDICTED FOR TONIGHT
The temperature has been steadily
falling ever since 4 o’clock Tuesday
afternoon, when the maximum for
that day was reached, until 10 o’clock
Wednesday morning. The tempera
ture then was 47. It Is practically al
ways the case for the mercury to rise
shortly after seven o’clock, as at
about that time the minimum is gener
ally reached.
The local weather forecast is to
the effect that rain will come either
this afternoon or tonight, and that it
will get slightly colder Wednesday
night. Thursday will probably he
fair. Until noon Wednesday little rain
had been recorded.
MR. BRAD MERRY HAS
ACUTE INDIGESTION
The friends of Mr. Brad Merry will
regret to learn that he is confined to
his home with a severe attack of acute
Indigestion. He has not been at his
desk in the office of the secretary
of the board of county commissioners
for the past two days, a speedy r«>
covery Is wished for him.
DETAINED AT* *Q U ARAN TIN E
New York—The steamer Caron la,
which arrived yesterday from the Med
iterranean ports where cholera was re
cently prevalent and was detained at
quarantine because of a suspicious
case of Illness on board, was released
this morning. The result of the ex
amination was negative.
There is a loftier ambition
than merely to stand high in
the world. It is to stoop down
and lift mankind a little higher.
There is a nobler character than
that which is merely incorrupt
ible. It is the character which
acts as an antidote and preven
tive of corruption. Fearlessly
to speak the words which hear
witness to righteousness and
truth and purity; patiently to do
the deeds which strengthen vir
tue and kindle hope In your fel
lowmen;, generously to lend a
hand to those who are trving to
climb upward; faithfully to give
your personal help to the ef
forts which people are making
to elevate and purify the social
life of the world—that is what
It means to have salt In your
character. —Henry Van Dyke.
TRY TO SETTLE STRIKE
OF LINOTJfPEJPERATDRS
Chicago Papers Limited to
Four Pages by Agreement.
Hardship at Present Time.
Chicago.—Efforts to settle a strike
of linotype operators on two local pa
pers continued t« day |tnd the other
morning papers, by agreement, limited
issues to four pages only. The even
ing papers made no attempt to print
advertising matter and news matter
was condensed.
The strike works a particular hard
ship on the reading public at present,
owing to the great interest in the pri
maries of yesterday and developments
In the United States senate.
The usual forenoon editions of the
evening papers were not issued. The
publishers hoped to put two editions
on the street in reduced form instead
of the customary half dozen or more.
President O’Brien, of Chicago Typo
graphical Union No. 16, has ordered
the strike In only one office. So far
as possible type for this publication
was being set in the other three even
ing plants. Officers of the chapels as
the individual union organizations of
each office are called, met to consider
the situation.
The question before them was
whether to stand by Mr. O’Brien, who
ordered the strike, or by James M.
Lynch, of the Internatloanal Typo
graphical Union,- who has officially
declared the strike to he "unauthoriz
ed, illegal and unwarranted.”
TO RECONVENE CAUCUS AT
SHEEHAN’S SUGGESTION
Insurgents Who Balked at
First One Will Not Partici
pate in Second.
Albany, N. Y.—Efforts were made
today to bring about a new caucus of
Democratic members of the legisla
ture to consider a way out of the dead
lock over the United States senator
ships.
Just how "the regulars” In the party
will take the Intimation of Wm. F.
Sheehan, that he Is ready to step
aside if a reconvened caucus expresses
a desire that he should do so, docs
not appear. It Is known, however, It
Is a foregone conclusion that the In
surgents who refused to enter the first
caucus will not participate In a sec
ond one should it be called.
The indications are that if it is de
cided to act upon Mr. Sheehan's sug
gestion the caucus will he reconvened
tomorrow.
NO TRACE OF BANDITS

RODIN PLEADS
GUILTY TODAY
RE LARCENI
Jerome Withdrew From De
fense. Through Other Counsel
Admits Theft of $27,000.
SEVEN MORE INDICTMENTS
REMAIN AGAINST BANKER
Attempted Suicide on Way to
Court on Day of Arrest. Jury
Found Him Sane.
New York.— Jos. G. Robin pleaded
guilty lu the supreme court today to
a charge of larceny of $27,ff00 from
the Washington Savings Bank , of
which he was president.
Although a jury selected after two
days tedious work was ready to try
the Indicted banker reports persisted
before the convening of the court that
the necessity of placing the evidence
in (he case before the Jurymen would
be obviated by the presentation of a
plea of guilty for Robin.
A consultation of his counsel and
friends it was said had resulted in
the conclusion that an Insanity plea
would not stand Inasmuch as on* jury
ha»s already, despite unanimous med
ical testimony to the contrary, de
clared the fallen hanker sane.
Seven More.
Seven indictments remain against
Robin. He was remanded to the
Tombs until March 17th, when he will
be sentenced.
The collapse of Robin’s defense of
Insanity, put forward by his slater.
Dr. Louise Roblnovitch, and his coun
sel. Wm. Travers Jerome, had been
foreshadowed last nlghi when It was
reported that Robin said he wsh "tired
of all this;” but it caused a stir In
the court room nonetheless.
On the night before the Northern
Bank of New York In which Robin
was also interested went into the*
hands of the state superintendent of
hanks, Robin was committed to a
private sanitarium on affidavits
sworn out by his sister and two phy
sicians. The sanitarium rejectod him
and he returned to the jurisdiction
of the court and submitted to arrest.
On the day ho was arrested Robin at
tempted suicide on the way to court
by swallowing a dose of poison, hut
the prompt use of a stomach pump
saved him.
Had "Horse Sense.”
On motion of Jerome, alienists were
appointed by the state and defenso
to examine his sanity and reported
unanimously that he was incompetent
to undertake a defense. A jury sit
ting under Judge Swann rejected the
findings of the alienists and Judge
Swann complimented the Jury on Its
“horse sense.”
The case came to trial on Monday
and Jerome’s preliminary motions to
dismiss on the ground that the de
fendant was Insane were overruled
by Justice Soabury.
Jerome decided to withdraw from
the defense and Robin through other
counsel pleaded guilty.
Through Robin’s operations the
Washington Savings Bank, the North
ern Bank of New York, the Carnegie
Trust Company and a string of minor
concerns which he promoted went Into
Insolvency. No full statement of his
larcenies has yet been made public
by the state examiners.
Robin, on hla plea of guilty, may
he given an indeterminate sentence of
not loss than five years and not more
than ton years.

ship Line Director Tinsley
Within Her Borders.
Rotterdam, Holland —Rudolph Tins
ley, director of the Uranium Steam
ship line, who is In Berlin, has been
prohibited from returning to Holland.

thorities Is the outcome of the trans-
Atlantlc emigrant traffic dlsputo which
arose from the Germany's refusal to
permit Russians returning from Am
erica aboard the steamer Volturno to
pass through Germany.
Tinsley Is a British subject. The
order of the crown forbidding his

PARCELS POST CONVENTION
REARS JOHN SJILLIAMS
Many Delegates Present From
North and West at Nashville.
Name is Changed.
Nashville, Tenn.—Owing: to the fact
that delegates were present from a
number of states above the Ohio and
Potomac rivers it was found neces
sary at the opening session of the par
cels post convention yesterday after
noon to change the name from parcels
post convention of Southern Merchants
to Parcels Post Convention of the
l nited States. Delegates are present
from all the southern states. New York,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Missouri.
Today's session was the most im
portant of the convention. John Sharp
Williams, former democratic leader In
congress, now U. S. senator-elect from
Mississippi, delivered the first ad
dress, outlining a. plan for the estab
lishment of a parcels post with charges
graduated according to distance, lie
is opposed to the Bonnet bill and the
amendments to it now before con
gress, the basis of wnich la uniform
rates from sea to sea. George 11. Mc-
Intosh of Cleveland, Ohio, secretary of
the National One Cent Better Postage
association was the other speaker to
day.
Present indications are that the con
vention will go on record as to the
parcels post bills pending providing
for the establishment of experimental
parcels post on rural routes and will
remain silent on the proposed grad-
charges system.
GERMANY IS INQUIRING
REGARDING RECIPROCITY
Kaiser’s Gov’t. Wants Benefit
of American-Canadian Agree
ment and Minimum Tariff.
Berlin.—it in reported that the Ger
man government has inquired at
Washington and Ottawa whether the
kaiser's government will be entitled
to (ho benefits of the American Can
adian reciprocity agreement. The for
eign office professes Ignorance of the
report.
"The commercial treaty associa
tions’’ demands that the United Stutes
grant the new minimum tariff to Ger
many, reminding Washington of the
provision of the German tariff law of
1910 under which the bundersrath is
authorized to withdraw concessions to

So Declares Senator Young, of

Measure Today.
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR
MAKES MAIDEN SPEECH
Both Characterize Canadian
Trade Agreement as a Calam
ity to the Country.
Washington, D. C. —"The Canadian
reciprocity bill is free trade in mas
querade,” declared Senator Young, of
lowa, In the senate today, speaking in
opposition to the measure from the
standpoint of the farmer. He de
clared the farmer should not be
blamed for the high cost of living.
"This so-called reciprocity agree
ment practically confers citizenship
upon tho Canadian," said Senator
Young, ‘and he Is not even asked to
take off Ills hat while the oath Is ad
ministered.”
Mr. Young characterized the Cana
dian agreement as a calamity, and said
the blame for It should be placed upon
the shoulders of men who call them
selves Insurgents.
Infuriated the people.
“The insurgents,’’ he said, “having
been defeated In congress, decided to
carry their factional grievances out to
the people, not for the sake of tho
people, but in order to whip another
faction and establish new leaderships.
They Infuriated the people. Some great
newspapers, broken hearted because
wood pulp and paper were not put
on the free list, backed up the Insurg
ents and urged them on. The Insurg
ents and some of the great newspapers
did the rest."
Senator Gronna, of North Dakota,
