, waiting to be heard, Mulhall was
I forced to wait.
Wlnthrop L. Marvin, secretary of
the National Association of Wool
. , Manufacturers, put In a synopsis of
T a statement showing the financial
j operations of the association.
He wa6 mentioned about a special
120.000 fund raised Beveral years ago.
He said he had no record of how that
i fund was collected or disbursed He
believed E F. Green of Boston, who
1 helped raise it, could tell how it had
, been 6pent. No record had been kept
,lf but he was certain the money had
been spent in printing and traveling
expenses.
William Whitman, former president
. t of the association, then took the stand.
: Whitman explained a $5,000 gift madu
to S. N D North, secretary of the
association in 1897. and a clerk lo
majority members of the senate fi
f nance committee The gift was made
1 nf ter the Dlngley bill passed con
gress
Many prominent wool manufactur
ers and others not connected with the
association contributed to the fund.
Speaker Clark made a statement
relating to the use of his name by
David Lamar and Edward Lauterbach.
He testified he had never had any
thing to do with Lamar, Ijauterbach
or any of the men mentioned by
them.
J. P. Morgan, he said, he saw at a
Gridiron dinner in Washington Beveral
years ago at which former President
Roosevelt and former Secretary For
aker engaged in a joint debate.
"It was the hottest debate ever
heard in this country," said the speak
er. Speaker Clark's Statement.
Speaker Clark put in this statement
"Ledyard says that Lauterbach told
him that he was In communication
with me through Senator Stone. Lau
terbach who acknowledged on the wit
ness stand that he had lied, said that
Lamar gave him the information La
mar confessed the whole tale was a
He to force Morgan & Co. to take Lau
terbach back Into their employ. All
of them disclaim any acquaintance or
communication with me.
"Senator Stone justly and properly
characterized the Lamar-Lauterbach
tale as a lie in which he was en
tirely correct He and I never in our
lives conversed about or In any way
mentioned to each other Morgan &
Co., or the steel trust Investigation
"I neer spoke to J. Plerpont Mor

my life; never communicated with him
or them in any manner whatsoever;
never authorized anybody else to do

belief, I never saw any of them ex

"I had never heard of Lamar and
know only by seeing his name In thw
papers that there 1b such a man as
Lewis Cass Ledyard. It seems to m
that when Mr. Ledyard found out that
Senator Stones name and mine wero
being bandied about by Lamar, the
pseudo Palmer and Lauterbach he
ought to have let me know."
The speaker was not sworn and the
committee did not ask him any ques
tions. He left the room when he fin
isbed reading his statement
Whitman Testifies.
Whitman was questioned about the
$5000 gift to North, nn Incident which
attracted nation-wide attention when
It was first disclosed several years
ago. He put the gift in a letter to
North dated Boston, September 27,
1897, signed by himself, George Sykes,
Benjamin Phlpps, James P. Phillips,
Jr., and Rufus Greeley It set out
that at a meeting of a few members
of the national arbitration, "unani
mous expression" developed In favor
of presenting to north "some substan
tial testimonial !n recognition of your
past services to the association and
the woolen Industry of the country."
It then went on to say that a draft
for $5000 was inclosed and concluded:
"This Is a voluntary and cheerful
expression of their appreciation of
your work and of he high regard in
which you are held.
"While I looked upon the presenta
tion of that sum to Mr. North as a
proper reeognltlon of his services,"
said Whitman, "no thought had ever
entered into my mind before Mr
Phillips came to me about making
such a presentation. When Mr,
North left the association later In
190) it made him another presenta
tion in recognition of his faithful
work. It was In the form of a silver
service. '
Senator Walsh read Into ihe record
of a copy of what purported to be a
letter from North to Senator Payne
under date of December 3. 1908. It
rf-i.d
"Following mv return to Boston af
ter the passage the tariff bill the
officers of the National Wool Manu
facturers' association Informed me
that in recognition of the arduous and
responsible work, I had preformed for
the committee and the serious Injury
to my health which had resulted from
an assignment entirely apart from
my duties as secretary of the asso
ciation, they believed I had been un
derpaid and accordingly aa an expres
sion of their personal good will and
regard they presented me with the
sum of ?5000. Shortly afterward my
salary was Increased from $4,000 to
$6,000 per annum."
Senator Walsh also had read into
the records a letter from Whitman
to former Senator Aldrlch written
about ten years ago urging the se
lection of North as director of the
proposed census bureau because the
speeches of the director of that bu
reau, Carroll D. Wright had been
"popullstic and probably prejudicial in
favor of labor "
In another letter praising North
and suggesting appointment, address

pressed the view that Wright was
biased In favor of labor and that
North was not

Execution of Jacob
Oppenheimer Takes
Place at the Folsom
Prison Most Extraor
dinary Convict's Ca
reer Conies to An End.
Sacramento, Cal., July 11. Jacob
Oppenheimer, whom criminologists
have termed ope of Americas most
extraordinary convicts, was hanged at
Folsom prison this morning. Though
he had killed two men, it was not for
murder that Oppenheimer gave up his
life. His crime was an attack on a
icllow prisoner, and his is said to
havo been the first case In this coun
try of a felon being executed for sim
ple assault
Oppenheimer when a messenger boy
of 14 tried to kill his superintendent
and was given a workhouse sentence.
Soon after he was released, he was
convicted of robbery and sent to
Folsom prison for 50 years. A man
named Ross, who had been the prin
cipal witness fir the prosecution, la
ter was himself sent to prison, Op
penheimer met him at the gate ana
murdered blm.
For that crime Oppenheimer's sen
tence was lengthened to life imprison
ment and he was transferred to San
Quentin. There he attacked a guard
and later a fellow prisoner and for the
latter assault he was sentenced to
I death under California's law enacted
in 1907. making an attack by a con
vict on a guard or fellow prisoner o
capital offense.
Fourteen of his eighteen years in
prison Oppenheimer spent In solitary
confinement. An enemy, Francisco
Quijnda, a murderer awaiting execu
tion, used the prison "telegraphy"
tapB on the cell walls to taunt the
Inmate of the dungeon. Oppenheim
er, nursing his wrath, managed to
procure an old file. And as he sharp
ened and pointed the file on the stone
walls, he would leave off to tap to
Qulnjada :
"I'll get you yet, you ."
One day Quljada was led to Oppen
heimer's cell. Quick as thought, Op
penheimer's arm shot through tho
I bars and his file pierced his enemy's
heart. After that Oppenheimer was
known as the "human tiger."
Oppenheimer's attorneys had fought
desperately for six years to save him
i Three times the case was taken to
the United States supreme court
Oppenheimer met death unfaltering
ly. His last request was that the
women of California keep up their
fight for the abolition of capital pun
ishment. Murderer Hanged.
San Quentin, Cal., July 11. Frank
Bauweraerts was hanged In the pris
on here this morning for the murder
of two women near Riverside, a year
ago. He protected bis innocence to
the end.

REBELS HOLD
5 AMERICANS
Washington, July 11 Secretary
Garrison today ordered Colonel Ed
win P. Brewer, of the Fourteenth cav
alry at Fort Mcintosh. Texas, to de
mand the release of five Americans,
together with 350 cattle, and thirty
horses held by Mexican revolutionist
at Hidalgo, Mexico. Secretary Bryan
requested the action.
The attention of the state depart
ment was called to the imprisonment
of the Americans and the seizure of
their property by Consul Garrett at
Neuo Laredo. Mexico. When Con
sul Garrett demanded the release ot
his countrymen, the revolutionists told
him they must await orders lrom I'le
dras Negras.
So great is the lawlessness around
Tampico that the better class nf
Mexicans have joined Americans in
organizing vigilant and under com
mission of the federal military gov
ernor of San Luis Potosl. Already
14 bandits have been hanged. It is
expected that a military governor will
take charge of the state of Tamaull
pas as has been done in " era Cruz

DENY EFFECT I
OF DECISION I
D. & R. G. Officials
Declare That Commis-
sion's Ruling Will Not
Mean Divorcing of the H
Railroad and Fuel H
Companies H
Denver, July 11 Denver & Rio
Grande officials deny that tho de-
clsion of the interstate commerce
commission will have such a far- jH
reaching effect as to force them to
yield ownership of the Utah Fuel
company, but say It may force them
to confine their Interests to strictly
Interstate traffic.
The Utah Fuel company is a sub
sidlary of the Denver & Rio Grande.
that company owning practically all
of Its $10,000,000 stock The com
pany owns and operates large coal
mines in Utah and western Colorado
and is ranked as one of the largest
operators in the west. The Calumet
Fuel company is. in turn, a subsidiary iH
of the Utah Fuel company.
It is understood that the railroad
Is violating the commodity clause of
the interstate commerce act, by rea
son of the fact that In mining and
selling its own coal it comes in direct
competition with the Colorado Fuel
fc Iron company and other large coal
operators in this state who are pa
trons of the railroads.
The decision is interpreted to mean
that the railroad must dispose of Its
$10, 000,000 worth of coal property. If
the decision Is as far-reaching as
some of the coal-rate attorneys say
that it is, the Victor-American Fuel
company may be forced to abandon
control of the Colorado & Southeast
ern railroad, and the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company may also be forced to
yield control of the Colorado & Wyo
mlng, a coal road running from Trln
idad to Sophs. It is also said that H
the department of justice may in
quire into alleged discriminations by H
the Santa Fe In southern Colorado,
where it is generally understood the H
railroad owns the mines. It is hinted, I
too, that the Union Pacific railroad
may possibly be divorced from tho
j Union Pacific Coal company.
