Commerce Commission
Passes on Question's
Moral Aspect.
HAS EVIL EFFECT
ON RACE PROBLEM
Fostered by Prohibition Move?
ment, Mail-Order Business Has
Grown Till Now 20,000,000
Gallons of Liquor Are Ship?
ped Annually to "Dry"
Territory.
Washington, b. C, June Z8.?Ap?
proximately 20,000.000 gallons or
liquors annually are shipped by ex?
press principally from mall order
houses direct to consumers In proni
blUon States.
ThlB startling fact was developed
lo-day in an Inquiry conducted by me
interstate Commerce Commission into
proposed changes In express classin
:atlons, which resulted In an advance
?jt rates on packages containing
liquors. The cammlsslon held that tne
?xpress requirement that liquor con?
tainers should be packed In corrugat
id paper cartons was reasonable; but
lhat the charge for transportation
Cased upon arbitrary weights?-Ign
lecn pounds for a gallon of wnisKey
facked?was unreasonable, and ' tnat
he discrimination against stone jugs
llso was unreasonable.
Commissioner McChord, wno con
lucted the inquiry and prepared the
opinion of the commission, points out
that the Industry directly ooncernea
Is that of the mall order liquor houses.
"it, was the spread of the prontbl
tlon movement,'' the opinion says,
"that gave vitality to this cnaracter
of Lralllc In liquor. With Stato-wiae
prohibition came the Interstate ? tramo
In liquor. The decision of the Supreme
Court that this tratllc was Interstate,
and. therefore, superior to interference
by the State governments, gave the
Industry a tremendous Impetus, ana
established the express companies as
the carriers of pracUcally tho wuoio
of this trafllc."
Wbnt Southern Cities Ship.
Jacksonville, Fla., probubly the larg?
est shipping point for liquor In the
South, sends out between 3,Out) and
4,000 packeges of one or two gallons
dally, or a total of about 1.4UIJ.OUU
gallons a year. Chattanooga snips
about 786,000 gallons; Richmond, 516,
720 gallons; Petersburg, 26b.128; fen
gacola. 267,760; New Orleans, 256,Ho?:
Augusta, 215,150 and Norfolk. Va.,
Cairo. III., bmporla, Va.. Louisville, Ky.,
Portsmouth, Vn., Koanoke, Va., ana
Savannah. Ga.. ship more than loo.uiio
gallons each annually.
"The movement Is much more active
in the South than In other sections ot
th* country, partly because of the ex?
tent of the prohibition territory In
that section, partly because ot the
large quantities of very cheap wnis?
key manufactured and shipped tnere
for the consumption of the negro pop?
ulation."
The opinion concludes with tne
statement that, although it Is not tne
function of the commission to awelt
on the moral aspect of the question,
it Is considered that the traffic nas an
evil effect on and Is one of tne im?
portant factors In the race problem
of the South.

CONGRESS SCOFFS
AT RECESS RUMOR
S'jch Thing Impossible
W ithReciprocity Agree?
ment Pending.
SENATE TANGLE'
'SPLITS PARTIES
Dozen Democrats in Conference |
Declare for Straight Bill With-,
out Amendments, While
Others Propose to Force
Lower Tariff Duties Past
President Taft. i
Washington. D. C, June 23.?A de?
claration for straight reciprocity, at an
informal conference of a dozen Dem?
ocratic Senators, willing, to vote down
all amendments to the bill; an amend?
ment by Senator Bailey adding to the
reciprocity measure all the House free
list provisions except meats and grain
products; a unanimous decision of tho
Senate to vot^ Monday on the Root
amenoment to the wood pulp and paper
schedule^-these were features in the
reciprocity fight to-day. But there
were no speeches on the subject, and
the conversation was confined to the
office rooms, where the reciprocity
agreement was the chief topic of com?
ment.
Senator Bailey announced his inten?
tion to press his amendment vigorously.
While looking forward to the addition
of Eome of the tariff provisions to the
Canadian bill, he admitted that such
action probably would come only as
the result of a prolonged struggle.
The Informal conference was held In
the office of Senator Smith, of South
Carolina. Mr. Smith was outspoken In
opposition to amendments, and he and
John vSharp Williams united with Sen?
ator Stone In declaring that It was un?
wise to risk reciprocity for something
more which would render all uncertain.
"We will not take any chances," said
Mr. Williams. "We can attend to tariff
after we get reciprocity."
Scoff at Rumor.
In the Capitol corridors there was
discussion of a recess of Congress un?
til next fall, and at one time there was
a well defined report that an agree?
ment to that end had been reached.
Senators scoffed at the rumor. They
would-be glad-to got away, but tbey
realized that such a course would be
Impossible with reciprocity pending.
There was no difficulty In getting a
general consent to vote on the Root
provision before adjournment Monday.
Senator Penrose, who made the request
for the agreement, based It upon tho
desire of Senator Root to be absent
from the city for a few days. No voice
was raised against the proposition. Mr.
Root Joins with most other Senators In
predicting the .defeat of his provision.
Senator Stone, who returned from
Missouri to-day, promptly expressed
hi3 disapproval of all efforts to nmend
the reciprocity bill even by the addl- 1
tion of free lists and reduced rates on
wool. He talked with a dozen or more
of th^ reciprocity Senators, and he said
he had not found one defection.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
was inclined to take the opposite vlow.
He was of the opinion that there would
be strenuous effort to put some of the
tariff reduction measures on the reci?
procity bill, as the one sure means of
getting them past the President.
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
Hejrt In Chicago Cause* Three Deaths
nud Many Prostrations.
Chicago, June 23.?To-night's weath?
er forecast' gave no promise of relief
from the heat wave.
Three deaths to-day were attributed
directly to the heat, while the pros
traUons from this cause numbered
half a hundred, according to the po?
lice records. The maximum tempera?
ture was 94 degrees, reached at 1

brought little relief and the lake nhore
and parks were filled with people.
Coldest June Day In Years.
Duluth. Minn., June 23.?Furnace
fires were lighted In Duluth and over?

falling to 16 degrees to-night. The

Boston, June 23.?The Standard

as Well as Spiritual
Welfare.
VAST INTERESTS
IN MANY LINES
Witness Tells Committee How
Through Church Sugar Trust
Got Hold of Beet Sugar Com?
panies?Frankly Reveals <
His Dealings With
Havemeyer.
Washington. D. C. June '-'X.? mat
the Mormon Church in enlisting tne
aid of Henry O. Havemeyer to extend
Its beet sugar Industries, was seeking
solely the welfare of Its pe.pio. was
declared to be a fact to-day by Thomas
R. Cutler, vlce-preslaent of the Utah
Idaho Sugar Refining Company, berore
the House sugar trust Investigating
committee. Mr. Culler discussed trce
ly the business' policy of tho church,
and was frank In revealing further
details as to the dealings with Air.
Havemeyer, the former sugar king.
The sugar comm'tice to-day also
examined Chester S. Morey. president
of the Great Eastern Sugar Henning
Company, of Denver, a combination
embracing sixteen Colorado beet sugar
factories in which the American Sugar
Refining Company has acquired a nalt
Interest. Mr. Morey will continue on
the stand to-morrow.
Its Power Disclosed.
-The committee thus far has disclosed
the American Sugar Kenning com?
pany's Interests in the Michigan' oeet
sugar Industry, the Utah beet sugar
factories and the Colorado group or
factories and from John D. Kprekels,
of California, who will arrive to-mor?
row, 1^ expectB to show that the cor?
poration has influential interests in
the factories of that State.
Before Mr. Cutler concluded his tes?
timony he was examined at length as
to the business purposes of the .Mor?
mon Church.
"Why does the Mormon Church go
Into tho sugar business and other busi?
ness enterprises?" asked Kepresenta
tlve Hinds, of Maine.
' "Anything that affects the material
as well as the spiritual Interests ot
Its people tne Mormon Church encour?
ages," said Mr. Cutler.
"It provides occupation .for .the peo?
ple In many other Jlnes ot business as
well as in .ne beet sugar 1ndustfy/;
"Then the Mormon Church," queried
Representative MadlsOn, of Kansas, "is
not only a. spiritual organization, but
also a business organization?"
"To a greatextent that 13 true," Mr.
Cutler replied.
"The Mormon Church owns stock In
the Union Pacific. Railroad?" Mr. Mad?
ison asked.
"I doubt it; I wish It did," replied Mr.
Cutler.
"Well, the presldont of the church
owns Union stock at least," Mr. Mad?
ison continued, "and not only as a mat?
ter of encouraging thrift, but as a. cold?
blooded proposition It owns Interests
In Irrigation oompanles, agricultural
enterprises, woolen and sugar facto?
ries and other Industries, does It not?"
"To a certain extent. It would have
to carry on business enterprises that
way or they would fall."
Managed by Bishop.
Mr. Cutler explained that the busi?
ness enterprises of the church are man?
aged by the presiding bishop, who acts
as business manager.
In discussing sugar prices in the
West, Mr. Cutler said that the price of
sugar for Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and
the Intermountain territory was fixed
by ,a Pacific Coast price list deter?
mined dally at San Francisco, based
upon the Hamburg price and the local
conditions.
"Do you follow these prices?" asked
Chairman Hardwlck.
"yes, we have to follow them."
"From whom do you get these Rrlca
lists?"
"From the Western Sugar Refining
Company' and the California and Ha?
n-all Sugar Company. We make our
prloe plus the freight rate from San
Francisco local market and less 20
cents, the differential between -cane
and beet sugar."
"Then in Utah, Idaho and that ter?
ritory you charge the consumer the
freight, although the sugar does not
travel the distance?" asked Mr. Hard?
wlck.
"Yes, that's the way all the prices
of commodities must be fixed."
Smith Will Testify.
Salt'I^ake City. Utah, June 23.?
Without waiting for a subpoena to
uppear before tho House sugar Investi?
gating committee, Joseph F. Smith,

"Jack-Pots" Had Fig?
ured Long-in Illinois
Politics.
HOPKINS KNEW
! OF THEIR USE
But Former Senator Can't Tell
Committee Whether or Not
Such Funds Had Helped
Lorimer to His Seat
? in United States
Senate.
Washington. June 23.'? "Jack-pots,"
or corruption funds, In the Illinois
Legislature constituted "one of the
traditions of politics In Illinois." ac?
cording to the testimony of former
Senator Albert J. Hopkins to-day be?
fore the Lorimer Investigating com?
mittee of the Senate.
Senator Lorimer succeeded Mr. Hop?
kins- Whether any of the '-jack-pot"
funds or other corruption funds had,
been used to defeat him for Senator ho
was unable to tell the committee of
his own knowledge. He explained, how?
ever, that he would be the last man
to know of such corruption pructices,
because he wos.* s.t the lime of the
election of a Senator,-1 "In the position
of a man.. In a crowd knocked down
with a bludgeon,Vwho knew no more
abovit It than the icrowd, bit was hurt
worse than it." \
lluncroft a WUiu-nk.
The only other witness of the day
was Edgar A. Bancroft, general counsel
for the International Harvester Com?
pany, who testitied that'.the general
Manager. Harry S. Funk, had told
of tho attempt of a Mr. littles to raise
money to meet the expenses of elect?
ing Lorimer. Mr. Hopkins declined to
answer specific questions as to whether
he suspected Lorimer was using cor?
rupt methods to defeat him, or as to
whether or not he believed certain
members of the Legislature had been
bought.
Mr. Haneccy, councel for Lorimer.
protested against the witness leaving
the stand without expressing an opin?
ion on the rumor that the fifty-three
Democrats who voted for Lorimer on
the last ballot received money.
"It leaves a cloud on .thpse. mon,"
Insisted than counsel. The committee
did ifi&^^niqwi'l' the' witness to nn
swer. As to personal relations between
the witness and Senator Lorimer. Mr.
Hopkins said Mr. Lorimer had told
him he would oppose his candidacy.
Judge Hanecey attempted to get the
witness to admit that Lorimer had al?
ways been popular with the Democrats
and had repeatedly carried a Democra?
tic district.
"I knew he was a great organizer,"
was as far as the witness would go.
Mr. Bancroft, in relating what Mr.
Funk told him, said that he had no dis?
tinct recollection of the words used by
Mr. Funk in the conversation. The ef?
fect of it. however, was that Mr. Hlnes
had asked Mr. Funk to contrlbuto for
the company $10.000 to meet the ex?
penses of Senator Lorlmer's election.
'Mr. Bancroft told Mr. Funk asking
his advloe as to whether he should
made public the alleged request. This
was during the consideration of the
Lorimer case by the Senate.
"I told htm that that was a matter
for his conscience." said Mr. Bancroft.
He added that he told Mr. Funk that It
probably would result In hostility to
the company of which they were of
ftlcers.
A I.awrer's Duty.
Members of the committee asked the
attorney If he did not consider his own
duty to have been to notify the first
Lorimer Investigating committee o*
this matter. Don't you think a law?
yer owes a greater duty to his coun?
try than to his client?" asked Sena?
tor Kenyon.
i Mr. Bancroft' replied that at the
time he did not consider the matter
to be so Important as It Is now re?
garded, and therefore not important
enough to Justify an attack on the
company. Judge Hynes asked who
was expected to make this attack, and
the witness replied that Lorimer and
his friends W9re feared because they
"were in conflict with tnose who op?
posed them."
Judge Hynes asked if he did not
consider it strange that Mr. Hines
should go to a company that was not
friendly to him with a request for a
contribution. 1
Mr. Bancroft disclaimed knowledge
of hostility towards Mr. Hines.
"Did you believe what Mr. Funk
said?" a?ked Judge Hynes.
"I certainly did," replied the wit?
ness.
