FISH DEALER MIXED ORDERS
How Senator Frye on Angling Trip
Sent Smoked Herring Home
Instead of Trout.
Ear more unerring than by any
weather bureau prediction, the ap
proach of spring is indicated by the
gleam of the piscatorial fervor that
Irradiates the eyes of Senator Frye
of Maine just before the opening of
the fishing season. During the winter
while the streams are ice-bound and
the spruce trees are white with snow,
the senator loves, now and then, to
relate a fish story.
He tells of a memorable trip on
which Senator Spooner joined him at
his choicest trout stream. They had
it all arranged, after having called
into counsel a reliable fish dealer and
a trustworthy expressman, that a box
of trout should arrive every other
day at Senator Frye’s home to indi
cate the success with which they
were casting the fly.
The plan worked beautifully—"of
course we caught some, and some we
didn't” —but the expressman was
fairly regular in the weight of fish
lorwarded, and the prepaid charges
were about the same from day to day.
All went well until one day a dis
patch came from the Frye domicile:
"Rush two more boxes smoked her
rings. They are great. Are the salt
mackerel running also?”
There was a busy time with the
wires just then, for the fish dealer
had got his orders mixed, and in
stead of shipping fresh trout to Frye’s
home, he had sent herring—thorough
ly smoked. But the senator was equal
to it. Camp supplies had been mixed
with the fish caught that day—of
course. He hastened to reply:
"You received the bait by mistake.
Nothing but smoked herring will ever
catch fresh trout, you know.”
Senator Spooner usually concludes
the tale truthfully by giving the re
turn message:
"Received the bait, and taken it
sic— hook and all.”—National Maga
zine.
To the Potato Bins.
"New York hotels have never been
asked to provide cyclone cellars for
their guests,” said a hotel clerk, "but
every time a big storm comes up
dozens of terror-stricken women im
plore us to conduct them to some sub
terranean vault where they can hide
away from lightning. In cases of ex
treme fright we conduct them to the
potato bins.
“Storms are not severe enough in
this part of the world to warrant the
most enterprising hotel man in fitting
up underground suites as a refuge for
lightning, but the cellars where we
store potatoes and other vegetables
are just about as far away from light
ning as it is possible to get. so every
stormy day it is nothing unusual to
see a procession of well-dressed wom
en hiking for the potato bins.”
Salesmen Honest at Heart.
The salesmen for "get rich quick”
concerns are usually well intentioned,
but misguided men. The World’s
Work quotes one of them who. after
the collapse of an irrigation bond bub
ble in which he had been entangled,
renounced the business of selling se
curities altogether.
"I know,” said the salesman, “that
it is a great and splendid business,
and that most of it Is legitimate and
straight; but I made one awful blun
der and I should sooner live on a lit
tle bit of an Income for the rest of
my life than risk making another of
the same sort. The worst of it is that
it is a business where somebody else
pays for your mistakes; and the temp
tation to be careless is too big.”
Stolen Eloquence.
Dr. C. W. Aked„ the famous minis
ter, responded to the toast of “Elo
quence” at a banquet at San Francis
co.
“But it is better to be silent,” said
Dr. Aked in conclusion, “than to be
eloquent by unfair means.
“There was once a divine whose
good wife said to him:
“ 'James, dear, the Rev. Dr. Tenthly
has made over S2OO by the publication
of a volume of sermons. You preach
much better than Dr. Tenthly, dear.
Why don’t you print a few of your
sermons?
"My love,’ the man whispered
hoarsely, ‘they were all printed long
ago.' ”
“Dry” Humor.
With a slightly puzzled expression
the mistress of the house listened to
the resonant street cry: “Rags and
bottles! Rags and bottles!”
“Why, do you suppose,” she said tJ
her husband, “do they put those words
together?”
"Because,” he replied, "wherever you
and bottles, you And rags.”—Ex
change.
Not His Grandmother.
“Can't 1 get off this afternoon to
go to a funeral?” asked the office boy.
Whose funeral?” asked the man
with a cynical smile.
"I guess it's goin’ to be the home

FACE EACH OTHER
Charges of “Graft” and “Bri
bery” Bandied at Hearing.
DEMAND IS FOR THE PROOF
Display of Bitterness and Decision for
Utmost Publicity Are Net Re
sults of Opening Bout in
Committee.
Washington.—The house commit
tee on judiciary has decided that
it had no power to do anything
but report the evidence to the house
concerning the general charges made
by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska
against Attorney General Wicker
sham.
In a hearing enlivened with fre
quent and bitter clashes between the
two Wickershams, it developed that
the delegate from Alaska had offered
his legal services in 1908 to the Gug
genheim interests in the Northwest
ern Commercial company, for a salary
of $15,000 a year and the maintenance
of office headquarters in Seattle.
A proposition was made to him by
Stephen Burch, a representative of
the Northwestern Commercial com
pany.
“If they had paid me what 1 asked
1 would have been their attorney,”
said Mr. Wickersham, “and 1 think 1
w’ould have saved them a lot of
trouble.”
The question of the insufficiency of
what the delegate declared was proof
that the attorney general “purpose
ly shielded and defended Alaska syn
dicate criminals against punishment”
arose.
Representative Sterling suggested
that Delegate Wickersham’s charges
indicated only failure of the depart
ment of justice to prosecute.
“Oh, he has gone way beyond that.”
interrupted Attorney General Wick
ersham.
“Yes,” said Delegate Wickersham,
“I insist there was a deliberate at
tempt to protect.”
The delegate declared that United
States Marshal H. K. Love, who fig
ured in the Cunningham coal land
cases, had discharged a deputy named
Bowers, who was also jailer at Kodiak,
because be “wouldn’t give up the
graft.”
“He wouldn’t pay Love SIOO a month
out of what he received for the board
of prisoners,” the delegate explained
Delegate Wickersham, a Repub
lican. reviewed his attempts to have
the department of justice move against
D. H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate
and J. H. Bullock of the John J.
Sesnor company for alleged conspir
acy on government coal contracts,
wherebj’ he alleges the government
lost $50,000.
The delegate charged that federal
officials in Alaska had been bribed
Representative Howland of Ohio de
manded that he prove that statement.
“I will before I finish.” declared the
delegate.
FREE LIST PASSES SENATE.
Compromise Bill Adopted, House
Measure Defeated.
Washington. By a vote of 48
to 30 the senate by a coalition of
Democrats and Republican insurgents
of that body passed a compromise
farmers’ free list bill, which removed
the tariff from a large category of ag
ricultural implements and farm operat
ing materials when imported from
Canada.
The original house bill first was de
feated and then reoffered in modified
form by Senator Kern of Indiana.
As amended and finally adopted the
bill differed but little from the orig
inal. The principal articles placed on
the free list are:
Agricultural implements, cotton bag
ging, cotton ties, leather, boots and
shoes, fence wire, meats, cereals,
flour, bread, timber, lumber, sewing
machines, salt
The Kern compromise takes fresh
meat products out of the free-list bill,
except such as come from countries
that admit certain American farm
products duty free.
The senate earlier defeated Senator
Bailey’s amendment taking all meats
out of the free list. The Kern amend
ment represented the attempt to recon
cile the Democratic interests with the
insurgent Republicans who believed
some further concessions should be
obtained for agricultural products.

CONGRESS PACKS
LORIMER TRIAL
Distinguished Audience Hears White
Retell His Story—Rail Favors
Related.
Washington.—Charles A. White,
former member of the Illinois legis
lature and confessed bribe-taker, told
his story of legislative corruption in
Illinois to the senate committee which
is investigating the election of Sen
ator William Lorimer.
The room was packed to the doors.
Senators and congressmen were
crowded in with the “curious and or
dinary,” and they drank in the de
tails of White’s famous confession.
Attorney Marble, counsel for the
committee, led White to tell his story
in narrative form, taking all events in
their chronological order.
White received Pullman passes.
Transportation could be exchanged
among members, and destinations on
Pullman passes could be altered to
suit the convenience of the holders.
Then the committee took up the
actual confession. White said that on
the night of the twenty-fourth, 1909,
Lee O’Neil Browne, Democratic lead
er, first asked him to vote for Lor
imer.
“Browne gave me SIOO about the
time the legislature adjourned, a few
days later. I saw Browne June 16. at
the Briggs house, in Chicago. He
gave me SSO that night, and told me
to call again the next day. I did so.
and he gave me SBSO, making SI,OOO
in all. He wore a belt, in which he
was carrying about $30,000.”
White said he met Wilson and Rep
resentatives Clark, Shepard, Luke and
Link at the hotel. “Luke was com
plaining about the amount of money
he had received,” said White. “He
said he only got S9OO, and he could
have had $1,500 earlier in the session.
“I told Luke I hadn’t been paid to
vote for Lorimer. He said, ‘Oh, yes
you were. You got SI,OO0 —same as
the rest of us.’
“I asked him if he has been given
Lorimer money. He said he had —
that he had made his deal direct with
Lorimer.
“We went up to Wilson’s room in
the hotel. Shepard went into the
bathroom with Wilson. When he
came out, Wilson called me into the
bathroom, and gave me S9OO. ‘There’s
all of it,’ he said, ‘and I’m glad to be
relieved of the burden.’
“He said that the governor had
vetoed some of the bills for which
money was to have oeen distributed.
Then he said that Browne was sick,
and that was the reason why he (Wil
son) had to come down to distribute
the money.”
White said that he met Representa
tive Beckemeyer on a nearby street
that day. Beckemeyer later confessed
to taking bribe money.

UNDERWOOD CALLS
BRYAN FALSIFIER
House Leader Replies to Ne
braskan’s Charges.
DENIES SPLIT WITH SPEAKER
Supports His Own Position and Ex
plains Delay in Revision of Iron
and Steel Schedules by Com
mittee.
Washington.
most remarkable scenes in the house
since the beginning of the extra ses
sion Representative Oscar W. Under
wood of Alabama, the Democratic
leader of the house, fired a verbal
broadside at William Jennings Bryan
for the latter’s criticism of his posi
tion on the extension of the tariff re
vision program. Mr. Underwood’s
Democratic colleagues wildly cheered
him as he made his vitrolic attack
upon the Nebraskan.
Excoriating the three times candi
date of the Democratic party for pres
idential honors, Leader Underwood de
nounced Mr. Bryan’s statements as
false, defended his (Underwood’s) at
titude as to revision of the iron and
steel tariff schedules, and said Bryan
has placed upon every Democratic
me.iber implications unfounded in
fact.
He called on his Democratic col
leagues of the ways and means com
mittee for corroboration of his atti
tude in committee and in caucus.
Mr. Underwood was backed up in a
similarly striking speech by Represen
tative Kitchin of North Carolina, long
a devoted friend of Bryan. Mr. Kit
chin expressed surprise that any Dem
ocrat should so malign Mr. Under
wood and the party, and through all
this arraignment not a voice was
raised in defense of Bryan.
It all came about from a published
interview, which purported to be “au
thorized” by Mr. Bryan, declaring it
was time Democratic Leader Under
wood was "unmasked.”
“The action of Chairman Under
wood in opposing an immediate effort
to reduce the iron and steel schedule
reveals the real Underwood,” said
the Bryan Interview. “Speaker Clark
and other tariff reformers tried to
secure the passage of a resolution
Instructing the ways and means com
mittee to take up otfcer schedules, in
cluding the iron and steel schedule,
but Underwood and Fitzgerald, the
Fitzgerald who saved Cannon in the
last congress, succeeded in defeating
th resolution.”
•*rhe unmasking or Chairman Un
derwood will serve a useful purpose,”
added the interview, “if it arouses
the Democrats to an understanding of
the mistake made in putting Mr. Un
derwood at the head of the commit
tee, it he solidifies his policy of de
lay.”
As the clerk finished reading the
Bryan interview. Mr. Underwood, in
calm and even tones, opened the vials
of his wrath. If Underwood’s attack
was remarkable for its bitterness and
vigor, it was not more so than the
general applause which greeted his
sarcastic references to the Nebraska
leader and his specific and complete
denials of the charges made by Bryan.
He declared that because of his in
vestments of the iron and steel mills
in his own state, Alabama, he had
urged the ways and means committee
at the beginning of the session to
save him embarrassment by taking up
the iron and steel schedule at once.
This had not been done by the com
mittee. he said, because it had deter
mined that the textile schedules
should be revised first to satisfy pub
lic clamor.

PRESIDENT SIMON FLEES
FROM HAITI’S CAPITAL
Chief Executive Takes Refuge on
Cruiser in Harbor —Daughter Is
Wounded by Mob.
Port-au-Prince, Haiti. —Armed with
his carbine President Simon fled
to the Haitian cruiser Seventeenth of
Decembre, formerly the yacht Amer
ican, where he joined his wife, chil
dren and a number of followers who
had preceded him.
The Seventeenth of Decembre lies
in the harbor and fl! is believed Simon
is awaiting the arrival of a foreign
merchantman on which he can take
passage for St. Thomas, D. W. 1., or
Jamaica.
The departure of the aged president
was not without disorder, however,
for, as he was embarking at the wharf,
there was a riotous demonstration in
which the ex-president’s chamberlain,
Deputy Prin of Jeremie, and five other
persons were killed, and Clementina
Simon his daughter, and six other per
sons were wounded. The injuries of
Miss Simon are slight.
Simon came out of the main en
trance of the palace. Over his shoul
der the old man. w’ho almost to the
last had declared that he would fight
to the end, and, if necessary, die. in
harness, carried his rifle. With head
erect, he marched down to the wharf.
At his side walked his daughter
Clementina. Other members of his
family, however, previously had taken
refuge on board the Seventeenth of
Decembre.
As Simon and his daughter gained
the wharf there was a rush of the mob
that had gathered to witness the de
parture. Miss Simon w r as the center
of the attack and several women,
howding and shrieking, succeeded in
pulling off her hat. Chief of Police
Saint Lo rushed to the rescue and led
the young woman away from the in
furiated crowd toward a schooner. On
the gang plank Deputy Prin offered
his arm to Miss Simon. As he did so
an enraged man rushed up, and, press
ing the barrel of his rifle fairly into
the deputy’s face, fired. Prin dropped
in his tracks, dead. Firing became
promiscuous and before it ceased five
other persons had been killed and six
wounded.
ENTOMBED MINER IS RESCUED.
Workers Free Miner Imprisoned in
Shaft Near Joplin, Mo.
Joplin, Mo. —The White Oaks mine
has given up its lone prisoner
who for 72 hours waged a win
ning fight against death in half a
dozen forms. Joseph Clary, weak,
emaciated and possessor of an ap
petite that food does not seem to ap
pease is, with one exception, the hap
piest person in the world. That ex
ception is his mother, whose life has
been saved by the recovery of her
son. No more dramatic situation has
been recorded than that presented at
the mouth of the shaft here when
Clary’s rescuers finally were pre
cipitated into the drift at his feet and
found Clary standing in seepage water
up to his neck.
The work of rescue was hastened
by freshly caving ground, the lives
of hundreds of spectators who
thronged about the shaft being endan
gered as the earth slowly settled.
After the crack began to widen ropes
were no longer required to keep the
spectators back. But relatives of the
entombed miner did not waver. A
sister of Clary, Mrs. W. H. Brook
shire, stood within a foot of the open
shaft, and entreaties failed to move
her despite the danger.
